Schuldt's police court at 10 o'clock last Saturday morning as he had been directed, Ernest Honesty, 1080 Euclid street, northwest, arrived an hour later and found that the court had ordered his bond forfeited and an attachment issued. Immediately he took the stand and told Judge Schuldt that the prosecuting attorney had agreed to recommend a fine of $100 in consideration of his having withdrawn a plea for jury trial and pleaded guilty. The court considered his explanation and set the bond forfeiture aside. A fine of $10, however, was placed on Honesty for contempt of court. Honesty was scheduled to face a charge of violation of the prohibition laws. MAN FLAGS TRAIN AND PREVENTS TRAGEDY WILLIAMSBURG, Va.—A tragedy was narrowly averted here on August 17, when an oncoming Richmond, Fredericksburg & Potomas train was flagged just in time to prevent its hitting an automobile that was stalled on the tracks. The hysterical cries of the women and children in the stalled car, attracted the attention of Prof. J. D. Bean, who with his wife, was driving in their car. Upon reaching the scene, and seeing the locomotive approaching the automobile, he took off his coat and ran down the track flagging the train until his signal was heeded. The car was occupied by the family of an army officer and was being driven by one of the women occupants. Prof. Bean, who is principal of the high school at Badin, N.C., was en route home from Washington. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E.

Johnson pleaded guilty to the theft of a tire from Silas Parks, a neighbor, and then in explaining, said he took the tire with the intention of returning it. Judge Robert E. Mattingly told him that he need not bother with returning the tire as he would see to that. In addition, he said, Johnson would be spared the temptation of "borrowing" another tire for one year.

Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, and for a number of years, a staunch worker for the Republican party, has declined to serve on the advisory committee. The members of this committee were announced two weeks ago, shortly after John R. Hawkins, who is in charge of the colored division, was appointed. The committee included the names of prominent Negroes throughout the country. The letter declining to serve was sent to Chairman Work of the National Committee, who arrived in Washington Tuesday. The Letter In his letter Mr. Wilson said: "I have a letter of recent date from your committee advising me of my appointment as a member of the advisory committee. I take this opportunity to say that, while I appreciate very highly the honor implied in the appointment, I can not accept because I am not in complete harmony with the policies of the Republican party as revealed under recent Republican administrations. "Under these administrations ALFRED E. SMITH LOCAL CLUB MEETS The Alfred E. Smith Independent Republican club held a meeting at the club's headquarters, 638 D street, northwest, Monday night.

Frank discussions were made of some of the issues of the coming campaign. Attorney W. C. Martin presided. The club meets every Monday night at 638 D street, northwest.

It was one of the first Alfred-Smith clubs formed by Negroes after the Governor's nomination. --- Washington Tribune PUBLISHED WEEKLY THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1928 The Letter "HOOVER MUST DENOUNCE NEGRO" LITTLE ROCK, Ark.—Accoring to Fletcher Chenault, a contributor on the political status of the state to various metropolitan dailies, Herbert Hoover has practically lost his chance to carry this state. Chenault stated, "To gain Southern votes in the electoral college, it will be necessary for Hoover to come out with a clear-cut statement of his views on this [the Negro] subject."

Sandridge (white), Maria Hall, 39 years old, of 60 I street, southwest, was sentenced to 180 days in jail by Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court, Monday.

RADIO PARTIES ALL OVER CITY LISTEN TO "AL" Hundreds of Washingtonians heard the acceptance speech of Governor Alfred E. Smith, Wednesday afternoon. Many house parties were held, where friends gathered around the radios to hear the ceremonies. In his speech of acceptance, the New York Governor did not mention the Negroes as a group. In speaking about the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment, he said: "I shall, to the very limit, execute the pledge of our platform to make an honest endeavor to enforce the eighteenth amendment and all other provisions of the Federal Constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto. Governor Smith said that his nomination was without strings. He said: "I can with complete honesty make the statement that my nomination was brought about by no promise given or implied by me or any one in my behalf. I will not be influenced in appointments by the question of a person's wet or dry attitude, or whether he is rich or poor, whether he comes from the North, South, East or West, or by what church he attends in the worship of God."

ROBERT OFFICER CHURCH TO FACE QUITS JURY Declines to Serve on the Colored Committee Located Here STILL LOYAL TO G.O.P. Will Work for Hoover in Coming Campaign in Spite of Refusal Robert R. Church, political leader, of Memphis, Tenn., has declined to serve on the executive committee of the Republican colored voters' division, according to information given out Tuesday. His reason for refusing the appointment is that he cannot bring ROBERT R. CHURCH, political leader, who refused to accept a place on the Republican colored committee. himself "to endorse the personnel of this committee or the method by which it was chosen." Mr. Church has just returned from California. He attended the Hoover notification ceremonies. He had conferences with Mr. Hoover and other party leaders. WILLS CHAUFFEUR AUTO AND $5000 COLUMBIA, Pa., Aug. 23.—Because of his faithful service, Stephen Dorsey, chauffeur of the late Dr. Harry B. Roop, was bequeathed the physician's large automobile and the sum of $5,000, which is to be given him in monthly installments of $50, plus interest, until the sum gives out according to the will of Dr. Roop, which has just been filed.

He will also visit Saratoga and points in Canada. He is motoring. District Attorney to Give Facts to Grand Jury Soon MANY TESTIFY Drastic police methods and silinshod coroner's jury investigations were dealt a severe blow with the announcement, Wednesday, by Assistant United States Attorney Leo A. Rover, that the grand jury would be given the facts in the shooting to death of Louis S. Smith by Policeman Ernest C. Spaulding, on August 8. Smith died following a chase through Bladensburg Road, during which he jumped from the automobile he was driving, and took to his hands into the grounds of the National Training School, where he was felled by a bullet from the revolver of Spaulding. A coroner's jury, the following day, exonerated Spaulding upon his testimony that he had fired at Smith only after the latter had made a move as if to draw a revolver on him. A revolver, alleged to have been found four hours later near where Smith fell by Officer O. K. Stanton, of the same precinct to which Spaulding is assigned, also played a big part in the policeman's exoneration. Rushe Seeks New Trial When Noble F. R. Rushe, white manager of the Rushe Motor Co., Buick Salesroom, Hyattesville, Md., for whom Smith worked and whose car he was driving at the time of the chase; voiced an intention of requesting a congressional investigation into the shooting, the District Attorney's office reopened what was at that time practically, a closed case. District Attorney Rover ordered his assistant, Walter M. Shea to make a complete investigation and submit his findings to the office of the District Attorney. Mr. Shea began his investigation on Monday, August 13, and not until Tuesday, August 21, and hetil Tuesday, August 21, did he make his report to the District Attorney. Shea Visits Scene The investigation of the case was carefully and thoroughly handled by Mr. Shea. Besides questioning more than twenty-five witnesses, visiting the scene of the (Continued on page 2) HELD ON CHARGE OF ASSAULT As the result of a card game, last Saturday night, James Jumper, 24 G street, northwest, is being held for the action of the grand jury on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, and Thomas Morgan, 231 Second street, northwest, is in Emergency Hospital with a bullet wound in one leg. The two men engaged in an argument following a game of cards. Morgan, police were told, threw a pop bottle at Jumper, who in return attacked Morgan with a revolver. He is said to have fired three shots, one of which took effect. Jumper was arraigned before Judge Robert E. Mattingly, Monday. Bond was fixed at $5,000. Mortimer F. Smith, secretary of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, and J. Percy Bond of the Victory Life Insurance Company, were in New York last week. They attended the annual meeting of the National Negro Business League. TE FOR N GRAFT GARAGE MA "DePRIEST TO WIN," SAYS SIMMONS Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, will be the first Negro to be elected a congressman from a northern state, according to a prediction made here Wednesday by Roscoe Couklin Simmons, political leader of Chicago. DePriest is running in the first district of Illinois. "DePriest," Mr. Simmons said, "has the regular endorsement of the organization, and the organization always pools ninety per cent of the district's vote." The Second Ward Republican Club was declared by him to be the largest Negro political organization in the world. The veteran campaigner said that in three wards in Chicago, there are more registered voters than in the entire state of New York. During the coming campaign, Mr. Simmons will have charge of the speakers bureau with headquarters in Chicago. HAWKINS MAKES PREMIER MAJOR POLITICAL TALK NEW YORK CITY.—Garrying the fight to Harlem, the stronghold of colored Democracy, John R. Hawkins, chairman of the executive committee of the colored voters division which has charge of the Republican campaign among colored voters, made a plea for the Negro not to desert the Republican party. Mr. Hawkins came here especially to speak at the meeting of the National Negro Business League last Thursday night at Mother Zion African Methodist Episcopal Church. It was his first major political speech since his selection to direct the Republican campaign among colored voters. Confronted with a delicate situation, Mr. Hawkins adriotly led to his espousal of the Republican cause in his speech. He began by the description of government as the biggest business in which citizens of a republic can engage. "For the People" He spoke of the part which col- (Continued on page 5) EXONERATED ON MURDER CHARGE James Henson, 27 years old, 1219 Fifthtie street, northeast, was exonerated of a charge of murder by the grand jury. Wednesday. Henson was ordered held by a coroner's jury, on July 10, for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death. July 9 of Daniel Dyson, 25, of 215 Virginia avenue, southeast. The testimony at the inquest appeared conclusive enough to prove that the blow which Henson struck Dyson, with a monkey-wrench, was in self-defense. Dyson, according to the story, attacked Henson first. Three witnesses besides Dr. Joseph D. Rogers, deputy coroner, who performed the autopsy, testified that Dyson was under the influence of liquor at the time of the brawl which occurred in the yard of 126 Forty-eighth street, northeast. Dr. Rogers declared that the deceased man had been drinking just prior to the fight which caused his death, due to the fact that Dyson spent three days in the hospital, the condition of his stomach showed that he was a habitual drinker. AMOS HOLT BURIED Funeral services for Amoa Holt were held from the Wesley African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church last Monday afternoon, Mr. Holt died August 17, at his home in Cedar Heights, Md. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary E. Holt; a sister, Mrs. Rachel Boose, and a nephew, Louis Ross. He was a member of the Charles Datcher Lodge of the Free, Ancient and Accepted Masons. CHICAGO LEA BEFORE SPE JURY FOR CHICAGO LEADER TO GO BEFORE SPECIAL GRAND JURY FOR QUESTIONING CHICAGO LEADER TO GO BEFORE SPECIAL GRAND JURY FOR QUESTIONING DRIVER ROBS FRIEND WHO IS CAB FARE William Nealey, a taxi cab driver living at 519 I street, northwest, was ordered held for the action of the grand jury, on a charge of robbery. Judge Robert E. Mattingly, before whom Nealey was arraigned Monday, fixed bond at $5,000. Nealey is alleged to have robbed Joseph R. Hughes, a letter carrier, of 1109 B street, northeast, while the latter was riding in Nealey's cab with him, last week. Hughes told the court that Nealey had given him several drinks, and had then robbed him. The two men are friends. INCREASE OF JOBS SEEN INCREASE OF JOBS SEEN July Records Many Improvements for Race Workers MANY CITIES REPORT 80 Per Cent of Idle Workers Find Employment in Summer Work 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 for July: "If the favorable situation among Negro wage-earners can be taken as a guage for the country as a whole one would be justified in concluding that unemployment is rapidly declining. This is perhaps true, for July in many sections showed surprising gains in face of the seasonal industrial shifts that are always forced during the summer months. The gains among Negroes are partly accounted for by the opportunities at summer resorts due to the extreme hot weather in the East, and to an unusually large number of construction and street repair jobs opened to them.

IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE PRICE FIVE CENTS ARGE DEATH LEADER TO GO SOCIAL GRAND QUESTIONING CHICAGO, Ill.—The aspirations of Oscar DePriest, candidate for Congress to succeed Martin B.

The investigation is being con- OSCAR DePRIEST, Chicago politician and candidate for Congress, who is involved in graft charge. duced by a special staff of assistant attorney generals and has resulted in a large number of indictments with more sensational revelations to come. William H. Haynes and Sheidan A. Brusaeaux, special investigator for the attorney general, are the leading figures in the investigation. Policy Kings Talk The alleged graft was brought to light when the police commissioner began a clean-up of the "Black Belt" after the operators of policy games and other gambling houses had been assured of police protection by the ward leaders. As high as $600 a week was paid into the coffers of the Crowe-Thompson political machine, the investigators learned. That little of this money went for actual police protection or reached the hands of the men higher up was evidenced by the fact that the men taken in a number of raids were held instead of being released with a warning as has been the case heretofore. No Subpoenas Issued No subpoenas have been issued for DePriest or Jackson as yet, but it is said that they will be questioned concerning the statements of disgruntled gambling bosses who feel that they have been sold out, and who now seek revenge. Subpoenas have been issued, however, for more than a hundred underlings of these bosses who will be forced to tell what they know of an alleged million-dollar syndicate which has been operating in the underworld.

Chicago, New York, Loa Angeles, — PEOPLE WHO STOP LOOKING FORWARD TO EVER BETTER THINGS AND CONDITIONS IN THE IMMEDIATE FUTURE would do well to look into the status of their insurance. They are dead already, yet the morti- cian has not been called. Our group includes too many of that state of mind; we count them, but they don't count for units in our total equation. ——.—__ IN A STORY OF SLAVERY in the latest volume of U. S. “Naval History,” it is stated that Af- rieans loved cold water for re- freshing themselves after confine- ment in hell holes between decks; also, that better food and long whips were given to some of them to police the others. Things have not changed much, judging by the way our kids thrash about in the city fountains, and some of our salaried men conduct them- selves in office. GUR SENSE OF MYSTERY, LOVE OF BEAUTY AND MO- TIVES OF COMPASSION have given us religion, aesthetics and humanism to elevate us to the full stature of men, but the sense of taste, the love of ease and motives of selfishness battle to keep us down among our fourfooted asso- ciates. Man toward man is a wolf, though man toward the wolf might be a man. BOS ae WHERE NO DOOR IS CLOSED | _ Once we turn our attention from things we can not do because some- body objects more forcibly than ‘out determination to go forward— "and that in reality describes all op- Position to any human group—we might look at the openings which can, must be and ought tu be made by people of intelligence and gen- ius. The past two hundred years have shown mankind how nature gives up her secrets and submits herself to control by those who adopt the Tight methods of inquiry. Science is making God's gift of the su- periority of man over all other earthly things, a reality. The col- lecting of facts to be assorted and Associated and the setting of ex- Periments under controlled condi- tions, have given men power over earth, sea and air and the things embraced by them. It is in this realm of science that our group has done least, although it is the one avenue where the door is open widest. There is no bar but to the inability, the lack of genius or intelligeat procedure, on the part of those who would pass that way. Such excuses as lack of capital, lack of leisure and lack of appreciation are impossible. ‘The book is open to ‘sim who will learn to read it, the highway, to him who would pay the toll ir. energy, sacri- fice and fidelity. Nature is a jealous mistress, She sets up a shrine which admits no rival idolatry; she may even take life itself; and she counts danger, hunger, thirst, sccrn, neglect and ostracism as minor sacrifices upon her altar. But to those who think in terms of Nature's impartial, unbiased and universal laws, she gives immortality and fame despite the mutations of time or the pre- judices of individuals. Our civilization has arrived at the stage of science and machinery, and, dislike it as you may, the old days and ways can not be brought back by any kind of prayers or supplications. Even the distinctive qualities and characteristics of our group for which we claim so much, are to be definitely and convincingly de- scribed by scientific methods. As it is, we get our best assurance of oneness with mankind from those from whom we expect and too of- ten receive hostility in other ave- nes. The origins of man, his langvag- ¢s, his mind, his resources as yet undreamed, and his conquests over natural forces and even death it- self all await surrender to the scientist, be he of whatever color and condition. It is time to stop talking of “closed doors" and to begin to open ‘ome never before unlocked. THE WORK OF THE WOMEN No one would credit the mem- bers of the National Association ©f. Colored Women with the vol- ume and variety of cocial uplift work which they carry on, unless he heard the reports of individual Officials made to their new presi- dent. Discounting what was sajd because of the natural tendency to magnify one’s performance, there is such a residue of aid for the un- fortunate and for those who are deserving but handicapped in some way to put at rest any criticism of our lack of interest in our own welfare. From simple charity to aid to scholars who need financial help, and from infants to betrayed wo- men and those suffering from so- cial diseases, those women in their several organizations have taken it literally that charity is the great- est of the virtues and have put their belief into terms of human betterment. ‘That they have chosen Wash- ington as their headquarters from which their inspiration may radi- ate over the country and the world, and from which their monthly mag- azine shall issue to co-ordinate and inform their various branches, is the correct next step in their or- ganization. Count Kayserling was right when he said, recently, that wo- men have their own unique work to do in any civilization, and that is not in trying to be men. Our wo- men have the genius for right act- ion. It must have been so through the ages, or we should not have sutvived the conditions to which our blood and traditions have been subject. We congratulate Mrs. Bethune upon the work which she inspired and we felicitate Mrs. Stewart up- on the prospect which opens before her with the enthusiastic, rightly directed, socially necessary activi- ties which she directs from the ‘Na- tion’s capital, A TIMELY ACTION All honor to Assistant District Attorney Walter M. Shea. _ ‘The unfortunate and seemingly unjustifiable shooting of Lewis Spencer Smith by Officer Spauld- ing, August 9, seemed s0 obvious- ly unnecessary and indefensible that the legal department of the District government assigned As- sistant District Attorney Shea to make an investigation. Despite the pressure of his daily work, always very heavy and exacting, Mr. Shea has made his investigation includ- ing every individual with-any pos- sible connection with the incident, ‘and now makes his report. The majesty of the law rests ‘upon the speed and thoroughness ‘with which it renders justice. Hu- man life is too sacred to be ruth- lessly snuffed out by any man who has the privilege of using fire- arms. And suspicion was aroused in this particular instance because ‘the stated cause was not one to justify such action, and the officer has a previous record. of shooting another man. Men will break the law, some deliberately, some thoughtlessly, and the police are expected to uphold it and to arrest violaters, but there are’so many “known vio- laters” of the law damaging so- ciety by their boldness and the menace through imitation, that we have little sympathy for an officer who uses the very limit of his au- thority upon an offender in some trivial matter. We proffer our sincere thanks to Assistant District Attorney Shea for his thoroughness, his reticence and his speed. All too often some ordinary individual is treated un- justly because he is without power, and frequently officials use such instances as that in’ which Mr. Shea operated, to grab the lime- light and to pose before the pub- lic, The action of the district attor- ‘nney's office in this case will go far towards insuring fair and im- partial procedure by the machinery ‘of the law, and caution and judg- ‘ment by policemen. It will have a wholesome effect upon the en- ‘tire city. WE WANT DREAMERS Amidst all the hue and ery for leaders and offers from our schools and universities to “train for lead- ership,” above the clamor of our demand for men in public office, more important than our desite to see captains of industry in busi- ness, and deeper than the wish for great names of which we may proudly boast, there seems to be overlooked the primary need of any forward-looking people. We want dreamers! The one aspect of mind whick elevates man into the image of the Creator, is the power of imagina- tion—spirit may conceive wha‘ does not’ then exist and it may be realized. Our lives have been sc hard pressed, our surrounding: have been so complex, so attrac- tive, so disturbing, so exciting to the possession of ‘things, that we have had little time or inclination for the dreamer Too often he has been condemned, killed. The dreamer is laughed at, sneered at, driven out to “make money.” Too often he succumbs to the ‘unfeeling turmoil and greed about him, and we poor mortals “dry rot” amidst the accumulating dust on the things we hoard to decay and fall to pieces around us, leaving us dissatisfied like chil- fren with too many toys. It takes leisure to dream, leisure and seclusion; but one is forbid- den by the merchandizers and the other is impossible in our conges- tion. It takes a soaring of the soul to heights above the affairs of the hustling world, The dreamer must construct his “castle in the air” that the architect may outline its measurements, the artizan fa- bricate its materials, and the skilled laborer arrange them in re- lationship. In his mind’s eye, the dreamer sees men and women, children and the aged, living in harmony and the co-operation of love. Then the reformer describes a bet- ter social state, the legislator frames the rules, public officials labor to bring them into operation, and citizens willingly pay the in- creased costs in taxes. The news travels, and men circle the globe to live in such a place. The dreamer sees God in the beauty of an unfolding flower, in the shifting clouds, in sunlight, in the harmony of colors; and the ar- tist paints a picture which fixes the vision for all men to see; the artificer fashions a bronze or weaves a tapestry to transform bare space into a little bit of heaven's glory brought down to earth. i ‘The dreamer is in tune with the universe as fashioned to give = pression to infinite moods and flect- ing forms of perfection. No life is worth living without the order, harmony, beauty, sim- plicity, and love which the dreamer gives to hard-working - huianity as his contribution to ease the pangs of labor and to give us a glimpse of the possessions of the soul when ‘onee free from the body. Honor the dreamer! Foster him; follow him; and come, through child-like obedience and pure en- joyment to realize the kingdom of heaven within you! THE LETTER BOX EXPLAINS AND MAKES. AN ‘APPEAL FOR SCOUTS store August 20,1925 ‘The Editor of the Washington Tri- pune: * The undersigned desires to make a statement rather than present an argument in answer to an article appearing ip your issue of August 19 under the caption “Scouts Can- vass Highland Beach Houses for Ride.” ‘The’ whole situation was grossly misrepresented. ‘The only correct statement, was that the tents were unable to withstand the terrific wind that accompanied the extra- ordinarily heavy downpour of rain. The scout officials, while not court- ing such happenings, are in a man- ner glad when they occur, because it gives the scouts their baptism of wind dnd rain, thus making them veterans. ‘The residents of Highland Beach have been extremely kind to the Boy Scouts, and no thought is en- tertained that they would purposely misstate the actual conditions that were present in this émergency. ‘We attribute the whole affair to the nervous condition of the scouts, a majority of whom had never been away from home before. The greatest problem that confronts us =so far as camping is concerned <is that of transportation. We shall ere long start another drive for funds with which to purchase a truck to ameliorate our present trouble along that line.

We failed in our object by $900. This drive, of course, is to be city-wide, thus giving those other than resi- dents of Highland Beach a chance to contribute their share towards giving our boys “a ride.” What we nead is a few more friends with- in the race like Dr. Frank Biggins, who through the generosity of his heart, his friendship for Dr. Aaron Russell, Scoutmaster, and his. prac- tical interest in the youth of the race, gave loyally to the Scouts of the ‘Sixth Division for their use ‘three lots in Glenarden Heights with an area of 150 by 162 fect.

Polite regrets might have been expressed, as in the Bess case, but nothing more tangible would have been given for a grievous of- ficial error. The English idea of Justice is more practical than ours. It is not generally known that every police station in London has a fund from which people, wrong- fully arrested, are recompensed. A man being brought there and found to be not guilty is released with apologies and the immediate pay- ment of enough to sooth his out- raged feeling. It's different kere. Our police require him to sign a “release” which absolves the government from any responsibility for the hu- miliation to which he has been sub- jected.

SAYS THEATRE RAN PICTURE TOO FAST To the Editor of The Tribune: As a regular patron of the Lin- coin Theatre, I attended there Mon- day evening to see the picture of “The Three Musketeers,” I noticed for some cause, that the tendency of the machine operator was to rush the picture through. This was very particularly noticed when the titles telling of what was to follow, ete., were flashed upon the screen, It is necessary for one to read these titles if they are to follow the picture, so in order for one to read them’ one must at least be given a reasonable time. Why is it necessary to rush the reading? A Patron See alee ae SAYS TRIAL BOARD AIDS OFFICER To th Editor: Police Officer Joseph Mullin, now under suspension for alleged as- sault and drunkenness, is turning on his heavy guns to induce Sedg- wick Pearson, a young colored man | living in. Georgetown, not to appear against him, and it would appear to the lay mind that the machinery of the police court and police trial board are in sympathy with Mullen’s efforts. ‘When the case first came before the police court the officer asked a continuance in. the disorderly: con- duct case and, for a jury trial in the assault case, Five or more witnesses to the case were oh hand. The witnesses were again sum- moned “and were: in Court when the disorderly conduct case was set for hearing. This time Mullen forfeited. On Wednesday of this week the witnesses were again present in the assault case. Coun- sel asked a continuance, stating that the officer’s case would be heard before the trial board the following day. A continuance was granted to September 5. On Thurs- lay when the case was called be- fore the trial board the same coun- sel who asked ‘a continuance on Wednesday because of. the trial board hearing, asked a continuance before the trial board because of the case in police court set for September 5. A continuance was granted and the witnesses exctised until further notice. While this series of continuances is taking. place friends of Mullen are busy. Almost daily someone, and ‘sometimes two together see Pierson and try to induce him, either by intimidation or with veiled tenders of money, to decline to prosecute the suspended officer. This method of attempts to “buy off” Pearson grows more aggra- vated daily. On Monday of the present week a member of Cor- gress from New York City, who says he is a_friend of Mullen's, called A. 8. Pinkett, secretary of the local Branch N.A.A.C.P., and asked Mr, Pinkett if he could not induce’ Pearson not to press the charge. Mr. Pinkett takes the po- sition that as good citizens we should lend the police department all the assistance we can so that officers guilty of such base viola- tions of the rights of the people should be disciplined. He says that Maj. Hesse at one time expressed regret that substantial citizens too readily declined to press charges against officers who had violated their oath and their rules of dis- cipline. For these reasons he would not if he could, induce Pearson to decline to. appear. All good citizens should encour- age Pearson to stand his ground. Tt will be remembered that Po- ice Officer Mullen, while on duty and ten blocks off his best, went ‘into Pearson’s house in a drunken condition and without provocation, struck Pearson with his night stick and then tried to shoot him, that Pearson took his stick and gun away from him and with the aid of neighbors put the policeman out of his house. But for Pearson's cool head a tragedy would have taken place. Sympathy for the policeman, ex- pressed by the member of Congress and other friends, is solicitous be- cayse of a wife and two children. but it pays no heed to the wife and four children of Pearson's who might be without father and hus- band had not the gun end stick been taken away from the drunken officer. ‘ * A teed KIDDIES’ CORNER | TRIBUNITE’S PLEDGE 1. 1 will never use the: word “nigger.” £.

SUGGESTIONS FOR PROGRAMS A pamphlet containing a list of subjects for. programs for Armis- tice Day, Good-will Day, and other peace days, have been arranged by the American Inter-Racial Peace Committee for use by Sun- day schools, public schools, and civic organizations. The list is divided into six sec- tions, making suggestions for Bible readings recitations, read- ings and rations, ‘songs,_ spirit uals, and peace pageants and plays. Each group carries reference no- tations telling where the subjects suggested may be secured. For children interested in ar- ranging programs, it would be a good idea to write Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, 20 South 12th Street, Philadelphia, Pa., who will send you a pamphlet and who will be giad to offer you suggestions relative to the carrying out of such a program. Mrs. Nelson is executive secre- tary of the American Inter-racial Peace Committee.

Jimmie said, “You are a ‘nigger.’” Samuel said, “You must never use the word ‘nigger’ it doesn’t sound nice. If you will be a true Tribunite you: will re- member that our pledge says, ‘Never use the word ‘nigger.’” One day while Jimmie was walk- ing down the street alone he heard an argument in which one boy was using the word “nigger.” Jimmie then noticed how badly it sounded and said to himself, “Sam- uel was right, I must never use the word ‘nigger’ for it does not sound nice.” aN, 608 1eg— ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION If everyone would study and learn a good method of resuscita- tion many lives that are lost every year by drowning, gas asphyxia- tion, etc., could be saved. One of the best methods of artificial respi- ration is what is known as the Shafer prone pressure method. This method is taught by the Red Cross and other organizations and the U, S.

Situated near the corner of Eighth and Euclid streets, north- west, the garden occupies about 47,000 square feet of ground. The land is divided into plots averaging 20 by 40 feet, on each of which the more common varieties of vegeta- bles are being: cultivated during the summer season by school children residing in the vicinity, Despite many unfavorable con- ditions of soil, weather, etc., the gardens are thriving this year. as never before, and the crop yield is very large. It is a common sight in ‘the vieinity ‘to see. youngsters trudging home from the garden with baskets full of tomatoes, beans, corn, squash, spinach, and other’ vegetables, prouc in the knowledge that the produce had been planted, cultivated, and har- vested by themselves. ‘The project, in addition to fur- nishing instruction in the relation- ship of the natural and biological selences to every day life to. more than 3,000 children of the Bruce, Cleveland, Harrison, and Mott Schools, has a more important sec- ondary ‘benefit in that it provides a medium of character building and the development of healthy, robust hodies. It also affords an excellent means of employing the children’s interests during the sum- mer vacation period, keeping them away from. the traffic dangers of the streets, uncertain adventures, and the too-often unwholesome in- fluences of the by-ways. The activity was inaugurated several years ago by the depart- ment of elementary science and school gardens of the public school system, divisions 10 to 18, and is conducted under the immediate supervision of Percy J. Rayford. Alfred P. Brent and Mrs. Sadie S. Ingram are the instructors directly in charge of the garden. —Don't Say Niger— PRETTY CHEAP Here's meals as they serve them week days and Sundays, aboard the good ship Buccaneer Ii: BREAKFAST 1 slice of toast 1 cup of coffee (canned milk) LUNCH % @ 24 onion %& potato DINNER Rest of ¢ Rest of onion Rest of potato —Don't Say Nizger— THE QUESTION BOX Q.

Mr. Church wrote as follows: Church's Letter "Announcement of my selection as a member of the executive committee of the colored voters' division has been made. I am not insensible of the honor. "Since, however, I cannot bring myself to endorse either the personnel of this committee or the method by which it was chosen, I am forced to decline the appointment and withdraw from membership thereupon. "Intimate knowledge of conditions among coloreh Americans, of their present state of mind, of their growing self-respect, of the feelings of colored Republicans who create our majorities in the free states, together with my own experiences in laboring for our party, lead to the conclusion that neither important colored leaders nor the rank and file will follow men who have no votes of their own, whether because they hail from states in which colored citizens are denied the ballot or from neutral territory where disfranchisement is universal. Creeds and School's "Developments indicate that neither Illinois nor Ohio will follow Alabama, North Carolina or the District of Columbia. Moreover, the policy is an unwise and unnecessary one that drags a religious sect into politics and involves our important universities in political quarrels. "In no circumstance must I become party to such a situation as is created for us in ignoring men and women who meet issues daily and create votes, and elevating above those who dodge issues, cannot influence a single vote, have no voice to raise when we are assailed, and are Republicans only once in four years, and then only by appointment and not by choice of the people. "To the fortunes of Mr. Hoover I am devoted. Politically I am his follower and supporter. Personally I am his ardent admirer. Nothing that my hands can find to do to assist him will remain undone. Nothing I can do in aid of you and your party will remain unperformed.

Prominent Negroes throughout the country will serve on the advisory committee of which Ferdinand Q. Morton, New York, is chairman, and, and Mrs. Alice-Dunbar-Nelson, Delaware, is vice-chairman. The organization has been divided into four regional divisions with the eastern director to be selected. Earl B. Dickerson, Illinois, is director of the Middle West Division; Robert J.

OFFICER TO FACE JURY (Continued from page 1) shooting, interviewing Smith's former employer, and seeking to identify the owner of the gun found by Stanton, Mr. Shea inserted a fair amount of common sense to come to the conclusion that a body, more rigid than a coroner's jury should look into the affair. Mr. Shea evidently took into consideration the many flaws that might be uncovered, with little effort, in the tale told by Spaulding. His investigation doubtless disclosed that the act of the officer was criminal and without provocation. Despite the fact that the eyes of the Washington Negro public were somewhat darkened by reports midway Mr. Shea's investigation which declared that Smith had a police record, and that contrary to reports a gun in the hands of Smith could have been seen by Spaulding, both of which appeared to be preparations for the clearing of the man, Mr. Shea came out of his period of silent investigation with flying colors. He removed any doubt as to his sincerity in determining to learn the truth. District Attorney's Statement While the contents of Mr. Shea's investigation were not made public by Mr. Rover, the latter indicated in his statement that insofar as his States Attorney Walter M.

The statement of the District Attorney follows: "As a result of the report submitted to me by Assistant United the circumstances surrounding the Attorney Walter M. Shea covering fatal shooting of Lewis Spencer Smith by Police Officer Ernest C. Spaulding on August 9, 1928, I have directed Mr. Shea to present the matter to the grand jury for such action as that body may deem proper. "Mr. Shea's investigation has been thorough, painstaking and impartial. The facts and information now in the possession of this office which will be laid before the grand jury, should be of great assistance to that body in arriving at a fair and proper determination in this most unfortunate affair." Spaulding, meanwhile, is not suspended but patrols his regular beat. COLORED G. O. P HEADOUARTERS IN BARR BLDG.

FRIDAY. AUGUST 24. 1928 TAKE 5 MEN FOR TAKING PAPERS, 30 DAYS FOR 2 Five men were arrested by officers of the Eighth Police Precinct in two days last week on charges of petit larceny when they were caught in the act of stealing daily newspapers from three "honor system" racks situated at Eleventh and U streets, northwest. Walter Stewart, 42 years old, 812 Howard avenue, southeast, and Paul Chaney, 40 years old, 2009 Twelfth street, northwest, were apprehended last Friday by Officers R. L. Jones and W. R. Lafin. Both forfeited collateral of $10 on failure to appear in court. Leon Johnson, 30 years old, 1917 Eleventh street, northwest; Robert S. Granton, 19 years old, 2228 Twelfth street, northwest, and Henry Scott, 29 years old, 1222 T street, northwest, were arrested Saturday by Officer C. A. Dodson. Johnson forfeited a collateral similar to that given by Stewart and Chaney. Granton and Scott, however, were sentenced to 30 days each in jail by Judge Robert E. Mattingly. The method employed b- the police was simple but effective. The officer, in plain clothes, simply stood by, a short distance, from the intersection of Eleventh and U streets, where three racks located on the northwest, southwest, and southeast corners, were within his sight. As fast as passersby took papers from any one of the racks, C. P. Chesney and J. J. Phillips (both white) employees of one of the daily papers using the "honor" racks, would open the money box of that rack and take out what was in it. In this manner the boxes were kept empty. Upon opening the cash box behind each of the five men, arrested last week, with the exception of Scott, the watching employees and the officer found that the cup was still empty.

URBAN LEAGUE FINDS LESS UNEMPLOYMENT (Continued from page 1) as the following accounts show: In the West "Los Angeles: In a recent survey it was found that the unemployment situation has been relieved, so that 80 per cent of those out of work during the winter and early spring have found employment now." "Jefferson City: 'Negroes in large numbers have recently been employed on the State Highway.' "Philadelphia: 'Continuing as of last month, the street railway system is undergoing extensive improvement. In this connection it is noted that there are two large track laying crews entirely colored with colored foremen in charge. Also Negro grinders and welders. Building trades also continue quite active using a large number of Negroes.' "Hot Springs: 'Labor as regards Negroes seems to be getting an even break as compared with other races, and conditions are such that Negroes are employed to do anything that they are qualified to do, all things else considered.' Another Service Station "Chicago: 'The Standard Oil Company opened another service station, employing colored attendants.'" "Richmond: 'The occupations among Negroes during the month of July have increased considerably.'" "Kansas City: 'Unskilled and semi-skilled labor has been more in demand than heretofore. Increased amount of building operations probably accounts for the above fact.'" "Springfield, Ill.: 'Forty new positions for men as laborers with the Western Union Telegraph Co., on the transcontinental line which passes through Springfield were opened up.'" "Milwaukee: 'We have not been able to fill the demands for moulders and other foundry help. Employers from Racine are seeking foundry help from Milwaukee. A Negro for the first time in this city has been admitted to the Firemen's Union (Stationary boilers.)" "Omaha: 'According to reports and a comparison of reports in our office Negroes are being placed generally this month on construction jobs and in building trades. More than 100 jobs now on file can not be filled.'" Unfavorable Conditions "Kansas City: 'Negro waitresses were dismissed from a large drug store, and were replaced by white help. Negro bus boys were discharged from a club and were replaced by Filipinos.' "Tampa, Fla.: 'A few Negroes are still being removed and whites given positions. Wages for domestics and common laborers are both low and many rare. A five-dollar-a-week job is taken without complaint. This was not so six months ago.'"

In a statement issued by him this week he said: "At no time since the days of Roosevelt in his fight against the Republican party in 1912 have I seen such strong sentiment for a presidential candidate as marks the feeling for Governor Smith among colored voters. The break from the Republican party this year is to the appeal Governor Smith makes to the colored voter."

Sager, local realtors. Kingman Park has all the qualities of an ideal community, having well constructed homes, high-class residents, and possessing those advantages of location that provide present satisfaction and insure future property values. The brick homes afford all modern conveniences that are considered proper in modern building construction. Landscaped front yards leading up to brick-columned colonial front porches, present a first glimpse of sedate beauty. Then through the well-proportioned rooms of these homes, follow all those particular niceties that make a house livable. Hardwood floors and turnedwood trimnings add a touch. The electrical fixtures are of the latest improved design; and the ample distribution of floor plugs promotes the utmost convenience in the use of electrical appliances. Built-in kitchen cabinets, tiled baths, sunny bedrooms, and small fuel capacity hot-water heating plants, are only a few additional features. High Class Residents The character of the neighborhood has been cared for by the developers. Kingman Park homes have been sold only to people of good standing. Further, the entire plan of this community has been so engineered that, because of the location of this development, better people will be attracted thence for years to come. Kingman Park touches upon the park development which will follow the course of the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers. The government has approved and has already begun work upon this project. These park lands will insure residents of this community ample playgrounds for their children, as well as beautiful surroundings for their own enjoyment. These features of location are comparable only to property developments near Rock Creek and Potomac Parks, where values have jumped to as high as $10 a foot. With the extension of this uniform parking system, Kingman Park may be expected to share these increasing values. In a word, Kingman Park is a ideal community. The effort of the firm of Charles D. Sager, in devoting so much time, labor, and capital to a project of this type, is a distinct departure from the policy of local realtors, who have been prone to recondition and sell old properties, or to create isolated new structures without regard to environment. These new ideas of value, together with the reasonable terms on which this property is financed, and the continued interest of the developers in the welfare of the buyers, make Kingman Park the most outstanding project of its kind in the field of Washington real estate. day herein mentioned, the first publication to be not less than thirty days before said return day.

R. R. TRAINMEN'S STRIKE WILL AID PORTERS NEW YORK, N.Y.—A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, claims that the fight of the Western Trainmen and Train Conductors will help the Pullman porters' union in its struggle to secure a living wage, a 24-hour work-month, and decent working conditions. Says he, "Although the trainmen and conductors are now getting four or five times as much in wages as Pullman por-ton, are the vice-prisedents; H. M. Smith is the executive secretary; William A. Prater, of Washington, D.C., is organizer and field agent; Francis Spriggs, editor of the "Council Review," the official organ of the Federation, published at Washington, D.C.; Caroline Cook, of Baltimore, is the treasurer. ters receive, they are ballotting to strike for more. Thus, the porters, the public will learn, are not the only railway workers who have grievances, although they get less than any other group, work longer hours and under the most intolerable working conditions." To Watch Action Pullman porters and the public will watch the action of the United States Board of Mediation if the struggle reaches the point where the question of declaring that an emergency exists, so that President Coolidge may step in and establish an emergency board. The conditions in the present case are in no more harmony with the provisions of the Railway Labor Act that render an emergency board necessary than when the porters' strike date and hour was set June 8. If race prejudice played no part in the action of the Mediation Board on the porters' case, the board will act similarly in the present situation of the trainmen. But it is clear that unless the railway managers give in, the board will call upon President Coolidge to set pp an emergency board. The trainmen have indicated that they have no faith in the Mediation Board, and are, like t Miss Augus Better Heat for Less ASS CHA DIS ALS BILI Down Payment Water He Hot Air Stear ATE Cheerfully Given ATION ON American Radiator Guarantee heating plant installed by an ironclad, five-year guar om four months to three yeas Attractive Partial Payment STANDARD HEATING EQUIPMENT — EXPERT MECHANICS AND HEATING ENGINEERS THESE ARE THE REASONS FOR OUR SATISFACTORY INSTALLATIONS, AND ASSURE YOU A BIG SAVING ON PURCHASE PRICE, PLENTY OF HEAT EVENLY DISTRIBUTED AND EASILY REGULATED.

As a result of the break-down of the Mediation Board, observed the porters' organized the railway employees, including the porters, will press upon Congress the enactment of an amendment to the Railway Labor Act which will put some teeth in it in the interest of the railway employees. To Watch Development The porters' chief adds that the strike committee is watching the Western Trainmen and Conductors' strike maneuver, and will determine what action to take relative to the Pullman porters' strike, in the event that the United States Mediation Board refuses to declare that an emergency exists, and the trainmen and train conductors should go on strike September 2. A call has been issued for nation-wide mass meetings for Friday, August 24, for the discussion of the Western Trainmen and Train conductors' strike situation in relation to the Pullman porters and their pending strike. The Pullman porters' union officials, according to General Organizer Randolph, have been in close touch with the Association of Railway Labor Executives and the head of the American Federation of Labor since the postponement of their strike, June 8, upon the advice of William Green president of the federation.

This city, to be New York, must continue to be the avenue for everybody without any kind of dis- crimination. It must offer the same opportunity to everyone.” ' The first session of the annual meeting was held at the Mother Zion African Methodist Spieorel Zion Church. Alderman. Fred. R. Moore, president of the local busi- ness league, presided. Welcoming addresses were delivered by Aldr- man John Clifford Hawkins, Fran- cis E. Rivers, the Rev. John W. Robinson, Mrs. Bessye J. Bearden, Harry H. Pace, and William H. Wortham. F. 'B. Ransom, man- ager of the Madam C. J. ‘Walker fanufacturing Company, Indian- apolis, Ind., responded. Ten-Year Program The fitst discussion centered about a ten-year Plan for Ne- gro business. It was led by George Schuyler, a columnist, whose sub- fect was, “The Place of the Press in this Program.” C. C. Spaulding, weer; of the North Carolina tual Life Insurance Company, Durham, N.C., discussed “The Place of the Bank in this Program.” The Rey. Richard H. Bowling, of Nor- folk, Va., spoke on the place of the church. “John W. Davis, president of the West Virginia Collegiate In- stitute, Institute, W. Va., outlined the place of the school.’ John L. Webb, of Hot Springs, Ark., had for his subject the place ot the fraternal organization. Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary of the National Council of the Young Men’s Christian Association, dis- cussed the place of the Y.M.C.A. in this program, After Mayor Walker had wel- comed the delegates and visitors, Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute and presi- dent of the National Negro Busi- ness League, delivered his annual address, Wednesday night. Dr. Moton Speaks He reported the findings of four men who are making a survey of Negro business through a gift of $15,000 by the Laura Spelman Foundation. Negro business, he stated, lasts only one generation; it is inadequate and ineffective; co- operation between local business men is lacking. “No race can climb the ladder of progress,” Dr. Moton declared, “faster than the development of its commercial enterprises. We are living, in an age of fact finding, an age of scientific analysis, an age of co-operation. And certainly there is no more serious problem facing us today than building up Negro business around facts. hat we accomplish in co-operation in the next ten years will in all proba- bility determine the place which we will occupy in the next fifty years.” At the session, pas morn- rig at the Mother Zion A.M.E. Zion Chureh, members of the cast of “Show Boat,” a Broadway ee tion, rendered several musical se- lections.

Having relinquished the crown of National Negro Champion, when he was defeated by Robert Ball, of Chicago, Ill., Harry Jackson, pride of local linksmen, will doubtless be the foremost contender for the title. Prior to 1927, Jackson held the championship for several years. The District is expected to make a strong bid for honors in this year's tournament, due largely to the fact that one of the most formidable combinations of golf players, ever sent from this city, will represent the Capital at the 1928 Stowe meeting. Besides Jackson and John M. Shippen, National Capital Country Club professional, Washington will have young Jack Shippen, son of the professional, himself a most versatile player, Beltran Barker, Jimmy Williams, Dr. A. R. Harris, Wyatt Green, Al Fortune, Tommie Edwards and Dr. George Adams, on the scene of action. While this number does not, by any means complete the list of men who hope to represent the Capital at the tourney, those mentioned here are expected to furnish the greatest assistance in the District cause. HILLSDALES COUNT TWICE OVER TOGANS IVY CITY.—The Hillsdale A.C. baseball team strengthened its hold on first place in Class A of the Washington Tribune Baseball League, last Sunday, while both Huntsville and Anacostia were iding. They took both ends of a bill from the Togan A.C. in spite of the fact that the Ivy Cityans threw quite a scare into their final victory. The scores were 241 and 5-4. Gray, Hillsdale first sacker, had a field day at bat, garnering five hits in eight times at bat. Lymn ex-Armstrong star, and the Hillsdale ace, received credit for both victories.

THE SPORT REVIEW HOWARD TEAM FINISHES AHEAD OF 14 OTHERS The Howard Playground Track Team, under the tutelage of John Young, Howard University star gridder, won the Annual Interplayground Track and Field Championships held at the Cardoza Playground, Monday. Miss Daisy Pierce, directress of the Howard Playground, was in charge of the winning team. Howard won with 32 points. The Cardoza Playground team with 22 points was second. Logan, the team holding the title for the past three years, was third with 16 points. The Rose Park team, under Eddie Davis, trailed the former winners by 1 point, while Cook and Deanwood counted 10 points each, Briggs, 6; Sixth and L, Crumml and Willow Tree, 5 each; Magruder, 2; Barry Farms, Glddings and Burrville, 1 each. The Howard victory was due largely to the achievements of its smaller boys. The youngsters secured a commanding lead in their events, which with the few points scored by the older fellows clinched the title. The outstanding and most effective race of the day, however, was captured by Howard's older runners. The relay team, with Howard, Gregg, G. Marshall and Barnes, finished ahead of fast Cardoza and Deanwood teams. Nearly 1,000 boys took part in the meet. 85-Pound Class 50-YARD DASH—Won by M. Oldham; Howard; second, E.

TUSKEGEE TO LOSE MANY GRID STARS TUSKEGEE, Ala.—It has just been disclosed that Tuskegge will be without the services of Wooten, Steward, Paul Smith, the brainy field general, and William W. Harris during the ensuing season. It will take a Miracle Man to replace these losses with men possessing the tactics and the strategy of the famous four who will not be able to join the Tuskegge in the fall. to join the Tiger squad in the rail. Stevenson, the Liberty, Missouri, boy, is a gridiron wizard. "Red" Grange saw him play in the Lincoln- Tuskegee game on Franklin Field at the University of Pennsylvania in 1926, and said after the game: "He is without reservation, one of the greatest backs and one of the greatest triple-threat men playing on college football this year." But the services of this great star are not assured. It will be the task of the Tiger Mentor to fill these gaps in the Tuskegee team so that it will function with the least possible friction. Others who have not yet indicated their plans with reference to the coming year are: Tadlock, Bailey, and Shanklin. With all this power missing from the Tuskegee back- field and line the probable strength of Cleve L. Abbott's 1928 Edition cannot be accurately gauged. Tuskegee has a very heavy schedule. The opening game will be played in the Bowl on September 28, and the Grand Finale will be the usual stellar attraction with Atlanta University at Spiller's Field, Atlanta, Georgia, which will take place this year on December 7.

LACY, Sports Editor Former W. & J. Star Will Coach Bison Eleven Announcement of West's Acceptance Follows His Arrival in the City, and Conference With University Officials Official announcement of the acceptance of Dr. Charles West of the position as head coach of football at Howard University for the 1928 season was made, Wednesday. The announcement was made by Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control. Dr. West arrived in the city last Friday night. On Saturday, he went into conference with the university officials, the result of which was his acceptance of the offer made him as successor to Louis L. Watson, former Bison gridiron mentor. The position as director of physical education, also vacated by Mr. Watson, was not included in the offer made Dr. West. That post remains to be filled. Dr. West is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College, Washington, Pa., and of the Howard University Medical School. In 1924 and 1925, Dr. West assisted Mr. Watson, who was at that time the Bison head coach. A clash in opinions of the two created a friction, which resulted in the resignation of Dr. West in 1925. May Use W. & J. System With the advent of Dr. West at the Hilltop school, installation of the Washington and Jefferson system of coaching is expected. Dr. West, it is known, is thoroughly familiar with that style of modern football. Was Star Athlete While a student at the Pennsylvania school, Dr. West became nationally known through his achievements in track and grid sports. Besides winning the pentathlon event at the University of Pennsylvania Relay Carnival, where the cream of the country's college athletes perform, Dr. West enjoys the distinction of being the only Negro ever to lead a white college football team in the annual tournament of Roses game against the University of California in 1922. In that game, Dr. West played at half back and called signals in the absence of Quarterback Erickson, the team's captain. Early Training Not Abolished Contrary to predictions that the university authorities were contemplating abolition of the preseason training course, Dr. Davis declared that candidates and gridiron material for the coming season will be ordered to report either September 10, or 12. Reports that the abolition of free training table and quarters by the Board of Athletic Control last year would no doubt lead to the subsequent cessation of pre-season practice proved to be groundless when Dr. Davis declared that Howard would stick to its custom for the coming season. Early Preparation Necessary Owing to the fact that the Blue and White eleven is booked to open its season away from home on October 6, just three days after the opening of school, Dr. Davis pointed out in an interview, Wednesday, early preparation by the football men is necessary. The opening game is carded with Livingstone College at Salisbury, N.C. Dr. Davis further intimated that the university officials do not anticipate a recurrence of the happenings of last fall when the football players went on a "strike" for free meals and quarters. The men, he said, are acquainted with the rule abolishing such tendencies toward professionalism, hence it will be accepted by them in better spirit. PITCHERS' BATTLE TO LIONS OVER NATS. Billy Braxton's Colesville Lions winners of the 1927 Tribune League championship, scored over the Alexandria Nationals at Monument 6, last Sudnay. The score was 8-2. The game was, by no means, the romp which the score would indicate. From a pitching angle the contest was brilliant, both Frazier and Russell showing great form. Each hurler had 10 strikeouts to his credit. **Colesville a. b. h r Nationals a. b. h r Bishop.2b. 5 1 0 Coates.1b. 5 1 Lancaster.asc. 4 2 0 Porter.1b. 5 3 0 Kelly.e. 4 2 3 Snyder.3b. 5 0 0 Bishop.2b. 4 1 1 Wright.c. 5 1 0 Lancaster.asc. 4 2 0 Porter.1b. 5 3 0 Campbell.2b. 4 0 0 McGuire.2b. 4 1 0 Fields.cf. 4 0 0 Williams.af. 4 0 0 Thomas.raf. 4 1 1 Brent.cf. 3 0 0 Frazier.4 1 1 Harris.1b. 4 2 1 Mother — Bobbie, is grandma ausleep?

ADDITIONAL SPORTS ON PAGE NINE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 24, 1928 "New Pugilistic Find Has Great Promise," Leonard Actual Olympic Winner Was Germany In spite of the fact that American daily papers employed a scoring system all their own, to lead to the belief that the United States had won the 1928 Olympic Games at Amsterdam in a walk, "The Nation," a New York weekly publication, revealed last week, that the chesty and highly touted American team was second. Germany, with a total of 45% points, won the event. The United States with 39 points was next, followed by Holland with 34% points. "New Pugilist Great Prom Former Lightweight King Replica of the 0 From a recent story written by Benny Leonard, special sports writer for the Press Publishing Company, and ex-champion of the lightweight division, we glean the following: "After all, this writing business isn't so vastly different from the fighting business. I'm beginning to find that you have to meet all comers in either game, and you have the same factions to contend with—those who are your boosters, and those who take objection to everything you say. Fortunately, I am glad to say, I hear from the boosters mostly, but not long ago some of my readers thought I was a bit hard on George Godfrey, the Negro heavyweight boxer. These readers, avowed friends and admirers of Godfrey's, thought I underdressed him as a fighter, and intimated that I did so because of his color. "Of course that was too ridiculous to notice, because those very fans should know that while I was fighting I never drew the color line, and I have frequently given voice to the well known fact that many of our Negro boxers were among the greatest that were ever produced. "It just happens that there is no great Negro fighter active among the heavyweights today. However, there are good ones in the other divisions, witness Baby Joe Gans, the junior welterweight, and Jack McVey, the middleweight. Gans a Deacon Too "This kid Gans—whose real name, by the way, is Gerald Slaughter—not only is a darb of a fighter, according to Larney Lichtenstein, his manager, but he is a clean-living chap like the late Tiger Flowers. "Flowers was a deacon in his church in the South. Well, Baby Joe also is a deacon of the colored Baptist church of Los Angeles, and when he is in his home town he passes the plate and attends to his deaconly duties every Sunday. "I dropped in to see this latest edition of Gans in his workout the other afternoon. The fellow is very well built, and he is scrupulous in his dress—even when he's in boxing costume. I never saw the original Joe Gans in actual combat when he was at his best, but I have seen him in motion pictures, and I have a faint idea of how great he really must have been. "I'll say this: Baby Joe Gana reminds me of the Old Master, for he has a way of fighting with his hands that was characteristic of his namesake—a way that was characteristic of most of the great Negro ring men, like Jack Johnson PRINTERS TAKE 4TH STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP PRINTERS TAKE 4TH STRAIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP For the fourth time in as many years, the Government Printing Office baseball team laid claim to the Departmental League championship last Monday. The title was won with their 8-4 victory over the Agriculture nine. Having won the first half championship in a walk, and capturing the second half honors by one game, the Government Printing Office team has earned the right of holding undisputed claim to the Departmental title. The Agriculture team, under "Corn Grant," waged a stiff battle for second half honors, and when the two teams met, Monday, the printers, heretofore unchallenged, found themselves tied at nine games won and three lost, with the Aggies. It was in this crucial game for the play-off that Tim Braddies bunch of tossers rose to acquit themselves creditably. and Sam Langford—they all boxed sort of flat-footed. Rely on Hands and Arms Rely on Hands and Arms "Gans, Langford, Johnson, they all stood pretty well in a spot and relied on their hands and arms to do most of the attack and defense. Of course, I don't mean to insinuate that they could kick with their feet, but then, the feet and legs can be used a lot in carrying you to the line of attack and get you out of range. "I spoke of this to Lichtenstein, Larney, in the old days of the 'both members of this club' era, managed Young Otto, one of the hardest hitters for his size and weight that the world ever produced. We got to discussing Otto. "That boy used to feint with his feet and his knees," said Lichtenstein, but you'll notice that this fellow Gans stands almost as if he were rooted to the spot so far as his feet are concerned. He doesn't make unnecessary moves. "Out on the Pacific Coast they think this kid is a champion, and the fans in Chicago think the same way. I want New York to see him in action, that's all. "Gans himself is a modest, unassuming young man, and seems to have more than average intelligence. He preferred to talk about the great fighters of his race who preceded him rather than of himself or his own future. Has High Average "He has had about a hundred fights and has won 95 per cent of them, half of them by the knockout route. He is shifty and fast. He can do pretty much anything he pleases with his left hand against most of the kind of fighters he'll be called upon to meet in these parts. "They had a good little Negro hereabout, I remember, about the time I was bursting forth. His name was Leo Johnson. He looked like he might have been a really good one, but his friends insisted on matching him with me a bit too soon for his own good, I believe. "This Baby Joe Gans is married and has two kiddies in the West. Part of his training consists in writing them letters every day." PROF. BENJAMIN WASHINGTON VISITING WEST TON VISITING WEST Professor Benjamin Washington, of the faculty at Armstrong High School, after visiting Chicago, is making an educational tour through eleven western states. Professor Washington will spend at least a week in Yellowstone National Park. He plans to lecture to his students on the many places visited. WASHINGT'N BLACK SOX BOOK TRIBUNE LEAGUE ALL-STAR TEAM The Washington Black Sox, the capital's leading semi-professional baseball team, has picked what should prove its toughest opponent of the season for its Labor Day holiday attraction. A team composed of the leading performers in their respective positions in the Washington Tribune Baseball League, headed by Sam Lacy, Tribune sport-editor, and president of the league, and Edward "Eggie" Greenfield, ex-Black Sox boss, has been listed as the opponents for September 3. The All Star aggregation will be selected from the 19 clubs holding franchises in the Tribune League, and will bring together the most outstanding youthful baseball players of the city. The selections will be made by Lacy, whose close contact with the various league games will enable him to choose those whose performances have been most impressive. The presence of Lacy and Greenfield in the All Star line-up lend just the necessary balance to make the aggregation formidable. The latter is a veteran of exceptional ability whose keen knowledge of the game makes him an opponent to be feared by the Sox. These two will no doubt form the battery in one of the games. ORIENTALS SUFFER ON SOUTHERN JAUNT The champion Oriental Tigers lost three heartbreaking games to the North and Western Stars of Roanoke, Va., on their three-day visit to that city. On Friday, Blackfoot Scriver, Oriental ace, lost 3 to 0, after pitching airtight ball for six innings. The Stars gathered four hits, which was their total for the game and three runs in the last three innings. Scriver struck out 14 men. Manager Mac Adams toed the rubber on Saturday in the opener of a double-header, and lost in the ninth, 1 to 0, after pitching a great game. Mac was in real danger once, in the sixth when a hit, an error, and a walk crowded the bases with none out, then the old master put the breaks on making the fourth batter pop up and the next two whiff the air retiring the side. The game was lost in the ninth after two were gone when two hits and a sacrifice netted the Stars one run with two men out. Adams allowed three hits, walked one, and struck out 1. Red Powell, Oriental speed ball artist, twirled the nightcap and duplicated Adams by losing 1 to 0 in the ninth. Up to this time Reds had allowed only one hit. The winning run was scored on an error, a sacrifice, and a hit with one away. Powell allowed two hits, walked none, and struck out 13 men. The Orientals out-hit the Stars, 11 to 9, for the three games but coul dnt hit when hits meant runs. Eggie Greenfield, Sad Sam Burgess, Eddie Washington, and Harry Brooks, Oriental sluggers just couldn't get started. On Saturday August 25, the Orients will play the Woodridge A. C. one game. Proceeds from this game are for the Second Baptist Church. The game starts at 4:30 p.m. On Sunday, the Orientals will take on the Oval Blues, of Baltimore, in a double-header, first game beginning at 1:30 p.m. All games will be played on the Oriental diamond, South Capitol and P streets, southwest. BLACK SOX WIN PAIR FROM BALTO. GIANTS Simeon Sheffield's 1928 edition of the Washington Black Sox counted two more victories to their long list, when at Union League Park, last Sunday, they turned the Baltimore Giants back by scores of 3-1 and 3-0. Gil Bland, facing the Monumental crew in the opening tilt, hurled airtight ball. Only three of the aliens were able to connect with Bland's delivery. They divided the six hits which the Black Sox cross fire artist yielded. Cook Nickens handled the slabbin duties for the Simeonites and bing duties for the Simeonites and of the season. Nickens, with his lightning fast ball literally blinding the visitors, also allowed but six well scattered safeties. Bland fanned nine Baltimoreans while Nickens disposed of five by the same whiff route. ** Balte.

Howard Cab LOWEST RATES Potomac 142 Superior Safe Service DRIVERS: OWNERS Swimming Now Promises to Play Part in Race Sports Manager of Francis Pool Declares Old Handicap of Facilities Now Overcome by Advent of Modern Plant By W. Montague Cobb Amid the rise in prominence and numbers of Negro athletes in varied fields, during the last decade, their absence from the ranks of the leading swimmers has been consistent and conspicuous. Two factors are chiefly responsible for this, lack of adequate swimming facilities and lack of adequate coaching. The making of a champion swimmer is a technical accomplishment. Men and women of the necessary courage and stamina are so numerous that those only reach the top who in addition to having these qualities have attained the highest degree of mechanical perfection on their art. For us to assume a creditable position in this sport, especial attention must be given the latter phase. Since our dearth of a proportional number of stars is due to a lack of training rather than natural ability, every feasible step should be taken to improve this situation. One of the first and most helpful things to be done is to organize the sport nationally. This will make a comprehensive and progressive plan of development possible. The open meet which will be the main part of the water carnival to be held at the Francis Swimming Pools September 8, will afford an excellent opportunity for taking the initial steps in forming such an organization. At this time it will be practicable for the five swimming pools in Washington, the Howard University, the Howard Playground, the Dunbar, the Y.M.C.A., and the Francis, and the two in Baltimore, the Druid Hill Park and the Y.M.C.A. to be represented, also any separate swimming clubs which might happen to use any of these pools. PIRATES IN FRONT IN MONARCH A.C. GO "Scoops" Johnson and his Washington Pirates added another victory over the Monarch A.C., to their credit, when last Sunday at Monument 8 they took a 13-7 verdict from the southwest clan. With Terry and Dede doing the hurling for the "But." and their teammates pounding away unmercifully at the offerings of the Monarch hurlers, the Pirates had little trouble disposing of their rivals. * Pirates a b h Monarchs a b h R.Hutter.1b, 5 1 0 Sidney.1b, 5 2 0 0 Covington. rf, 5 3 0 Jackson. se, 5 0 1 N.

The leaders jumped into a five-run lead in their first two innings, and then travelled along, unscoored on, until the fifth frame when the Potomac pushed over 4 tallies.

UNCLE DUD’S DOPE ‘The coming show season is on its way, end I must say that the future looks better for the colored show business than it has for years because for the first time since the first colored circuit was organized there is capital behind it. The Jack Goldberg organization has put lots of money in a producing organization and the Theatre Own- ers Booking Agency is to book the attractions over the circuit. T have already booked Bessic Smith's “Steamboat: Days,” for Norfolk and Washington. The show. opens in Norfolk the week of August 27. ‘The Howard Theatre will open its regular season after a summer run of stock produced by Irvin C. Miller. Bessie Smith will be the opening attraction there. She is ‘one of our best box office attrac- ‘tions for colored theatres. I look fer a capacity business for her here. She is deserving of it. She has only played Washington twice ‘since becoming a recognized rec- ord and stage star. ‘A Real Artist Miss Smith has a wonderful per- sonality and is z. real artist. knows how to win her audience, and I consider the management of the Howard lucky in securing this at- traction’ for its opening. Mr. Lichtman is a wide awake man- ager and he has secured several good attractions for the coming season, among them being Charles Gilpin of Emperor Jones fame, and several others that space will not permit me to mention. Washington will see a lot of good things this season in the Howard that they have not seen before on a circuit. I must say that Jack Goldberg and his organizaticn has promised the colored amusement seekers better shows in every way than we have had heretofore. ‘Okehs Shows I was in New York the other day and caught a couple of the rehearsals and saw the costumes and scenery for a few of the shows. I had to’ put my okeh on them. Wiate de one thine oun, 30 Gold: berg produces them and they are good the T.0.B.A. will book them, and the public will support, them. If they are the same cld-time, worn out jokes, songs and acts that the public has had to pay for in. the past, then I am affaid the Gold- erg’ Producing Corporation will burn up a lot of good old U.S. currency—but I hope-for the best. T feel safe in: saying that every manager-cn the circuit will get money with Bessie Smith and Charles Gilpin,-and there are oth- ers who will draw also, such 2s Garland Howard, Speedy, Smith and a number of others that are worthy of mentioning, . but here comes that space thing again.

Very few men were lost through graduation and the greater part of the team will be back and working hard next month. The old men have been ordered to report September 24. An earlier date for all new candidates will be announced later. The team has a hard schedule on hand and it will be a matter of only a few weeks before we will again see such stars as Captain Gee, Alternate Captain Thornhill, Yost, Willis, Mansom, Kilgore, "Pops" Evans, Robinson, Brooks, Dillard and others in action. The schedule is as follows: October 6, Simmons University at home; October 13, Lane College, at Jackson, Tenn.; October 20 pending; October 27, Miles Memorial College at home; November 3, Tuskegee Institute at home; November 10, Talladega College, at Talladega, Ala.; November 17, Howard University, at Washington, D.C.; November 24, Knoxville College, at home; November 29, Tennessee State College at home. COL'SVILLE CLAIMS WIN ATH'TICS DENY DEFEAT The Washington Athletics have voiced denial of the defeat which they are said to have suffered at the hands of the Colesville Tigers, last Sunday. A Colesville release declares the Tigers were on the long end of a 5-0 verdict with the Athletics. The Athletics declare that the Tigers did not lick them. Their claim is that the Tigers were leading in the second game of a double-header which was called on account of a fight. The first game, however, had already been won by the Washington team by a score of 5-2. Bus Frazier was on the mound for the Tigers and was hit hard by the Athletics. The Colesville Tigers kept up their winning pace by blanking the fast Washington A. C., on the formers' diamond, last Sunday. The score was 5-0, with Lefty Jackson doing heroic slab duty. The Tigers are going through strenuous daily workouts in preparation for their engagement with the Washington Black Sox, Sunday. Manager Ben Adams is expected to send his two aces, Frazier and Jackson to the mound in an effort to halt the fast moving Sheffield clan. WILLS INTIMATES HE MAY TRY COMEBACK NEW YORK—Harry Wills, who attracted interest at Ebbets Field last Wednesday night, especially when he picked the 220-pound Roberta Roberti off his seat and lifted him over the top rope as though he were a toy doll, admitted in the sanctum of Humbert J. Fugazy one day last week that he also plans a return to the heavyweight ranks. Little Jack Sharkey, a great little bantamweight of a few years back, had been an interested listener while Wills was speaking. "Say, Harry," put in the little Italian, "just what was the matter with you the night Paudino knocked you out in four rounds at Ebbets Field?" The colored veteran then explained that he broke his left hand a week before the fight and that he was on the point of calling the bout off when he decided to go through with it rather than ruin Fugazy's show. "They 'doctored' my hands with drugs continually," said Wills. "and I guess the effect of the narcotics made me weak and listless. Anyway, I know I went into the ring feeling more like going to sleep than fighting." Which may or may not account for the dreamy look in Harry's eyes as he set in his corner before the gong and for the ineffectiveness of his left against Paulino. "Do you intend to fight any more?" he was asked. For a moment Wills hesitated, then he slowly said: "Yes, I do." Aside from admitting that most of the heavyweights nowadays "don't know very much," Wills refused to discuss his comeback plans any further. HAMPTON ANNOUNCES STIFF GRID SCHEDULE HAMPTON INSTITUTE, August 23. The Hampton Blue and White eleven is taking on the usual schedule with C.I.A.A. teams and also one outsider, West Virginia Collegiate Institute. To say that the schedule is hard goes without argument. The soft spots in the schedule will be so hard that only a team with championship caliber will be able to weather the storm. From the first game, which storm. The season's first game, is with Virginia Seminary. Coach Gideon L. Smith, along with Director Charles H. Williams and Captain George E. Byrd, of Wilmington, N.C., is looking forward to an interesting year. Hard work has got to be done in order to pass A.A.T, who has no idea of releasing the C.I.A.A. Championship; Virginia Seminary, who came within an ace of whipping the famous Bluefield mountaineer com- bination in Roanoke; Virginia State College, under Coach Martin, has taken on albogether new life and appears to be a serious contender for the crown; Lincoln, who is striving to regain lost honors on the gridiron; West Virginia College Institute, who does almost as she pleases with her rivals west of the Allegheny; and Union University, who throws a scare into the Seaside camp every Thanksgiving Day. Captain Byrd, quarterback on the team for the past two or three years, will guide the Blue and White eleven for 1928. 6—Virginia Seminary, at Hampton. 13—St. Paul, at Lawrenceville. 20—Virginia State College, at Petersburg. 27—Lincoln University, at Hampton. November: 3—North Carolina State College, at Hampton. 12—A. & T.

"I suffered a great deal from gas pains. My system was saturated with poison which was not properly eliminated. From time to time I had severe headaches, and I felt sluggish and dull. "I knew of Black-Draught as a medicine for CONSTIPATION so I thought I would try it. For a while I took a small dose every night until my system was rid of the accumulated poison. "I gained in weight and my general health was good. That experience made me realize the merits of Black-Draught. I kept it in my home and when I begin to feel lifeless and dull, I take a dose, after which I feel O. K. again. "I try to keep my system cleansed, and I find Black-Draught a great aid." Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT Purely Vegetable SAYS DU PONT HAS GIVEN RACE LARGE SUMS WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 21. —Pierre S. duPont, who is vigorously advocating the election of Alfred E. Smith for President, and has contributed $50,000 to the democratic campaign, is known as the colored people's greatest benefactor in Delaware. He has given more than $2,000,000 in the interest of Negro education. Immediately following the World War Mr. duPont gave $1,000,000 for the erection of school houses for colored children in the rural districts of the state. Later he rendered a similar service for white people. Due to his generosity there is in course of construction a high school for Negroes in Wilmington. Together with appointments it will cost nearly $1,500,000. It will be known as the Howard High School and will open in September. Mrs. duPont has personally supervised the five-room building to be occupied by the home economics department. She gave as her reason for taking such a personal interest that she wanted it to be as fully equipped as she would have it herself in her own home. WOMAN HELD IN ANOTHER'SDEATH WOMAN HELD IN ANOTHER'SDEATH A coroner's jury, Tuesday, ordered Mrs. Roselle B. Thomas, 50 years old, 624 L street, northeast, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the death Monday, of Miss Mary Catherine Payne, 124 Kendall avenue, Ivy City, D.C. Miss Payne died at Freedmen's Hospital half an hour after she had been knocked down by the automobile driven by Mrs. Thomas at West Virginia avenue and Morse street, northeast. According to testimony at the inquest Mrs. Thomas, in turning north into West Virginia avenue from Morse street cut her car too close to the corner curbing. The result was that the right rear wheel of her car struck the curb and wrenched the steering wheel from her grasps. Running wildly for a moment the automobile went onto the sidewalk and ran down Miss Payne, who had just crossed the Morse street intersection en route to her home. The injured woman was placed in the car and rushed to the hospital where she died before Dr. H. A. Bramwell, staff physician, could give medical attention. Funeral services will be held at the Bethesda Baptist Church, Ivy City, at 1 o'clock, Sunday. Miss Payne is survived by a brother, James H. Payne; three nieces and a nephew. DRIVER OF DEATH CAR EXONERATED DRIVER OF DEATH CAR EXONERATED William Francis Stokes, 4224 Sheriff Road, southeast, was exonerated by a coroner's jury at an inquest, Wednesday, into the death of George Saunders, 4506 Sheriff Road, southeast. Saunders, a man wall into 70 years of age, died at his home as result of injuries he received when knocked down by the automobile driven by Stokes on August 6. According to five witnesses placed on the stand by Attorney Joseph P. Neale, who represented Stokes, Saunders was walking south on Sheriff Road when the car driven by Stokes approached him from the rear. When the horn was sounded, Saunders, instead of jumping out of the way jumped directly into the path of the car and was run down. Funeral services were held from the late residence of Saunders, on Thursday. POETS' CORNER (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children."
