This is the seventh time he has been re-elected. The rules were suspended in order that this action might be taken. His re-election, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson stated, carried with it the re-appointment of Perry W. Howard as grand legal adviser. Others selected Thursday were: Dr. S. H.

POLITICAL TALKS WELCOME ELKS TO CHICAGO Hoover, Small, and Mayor Thompson Lauded by Speakers By Louis R. Lautier CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 29—Politics, national, state and municipal, was the chief theme in the addresses welcoming the delegates and visitors here for the twenty-ninth annual session of the grand lodge of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World at the public reception held at the Wendell Phillips High School last Monday afternoon. The speakers extolled the virtues of Herbert Hoover, the Republican presidential nominee, Governor Len Small of Illinois, and Mayor William Hale Thompson. They also advocated the election of Oscar DePriest to succeed the late Martin B. Madden as the representative of the second congressional district. Neither Governor Small nor Mayor Thompson was present in person. The Governor was to welcome the Elks here on behalf of the State of Illinois. He sent his regrets. Other engagement which had been previously made, prevented his attendance, he wrote Alderman Louis B. Anderson, the chair CAR HAS 3 ACCIDENTS ALL PARTIES UNKNOWN A chase, thought at first to be police after a bootleg car, ended abruptly when an automobile fleeing from the scene of an accident, last Sunday night, ran into the fence in the rear of 1934 Fifteenth street, northwest, and caught fire. Witnesses say an automobile driven by a colored man fled after colliding with a car driven by an unidentified party at Sixteenth and U streets, northwest. The driver of the car which was struck started in pursuit, and after the pursued car collided with the Fifteenth street fence, left without making his identity known. A pedestrian, struck and knocked down by the fleeing automobile in the course of the chase, also went on his way without making himself known. Police of the Eighth precinct recovered the automobile after the engine from No. 9 company had extinguished the fire. No arrests, however, had been made up to Thursday. Several residents of the 1900 block of Fifteenth street declare shots were fired prior to the end of the chase. Read the advertisements in this paper, they offer many good bargains. SHED WEEKLY THE WASHINGTON AND MINUTES OF TAMPERED BISHOP J. Declares Bishop Kyles Deleted Important Parts in Meetings Records PRINTED BY OUTSIDER Plain Discrimination Made Against Men Opposing Him, Charge MINUTES OF CONFERENCE TAMPERED WITH SAYS BISHOP J. W. WALLS CHARLOTTE, N.C.—Bishop J. W. Walls, of the African Methodist Eniscopal Zion Church, declared before leaving here for Greensboro, N.C., to attend the Bishops' Council, that the church must face and solve a serious problem. This problem, Bishop Walls stated, is whether the Church will repudiate the minutes of the last General Conference which have been published by Bishop L. W. Kyles, or accept them. The question that has recently come up, Bishop Walls stated, grew out of the fact that so much important information has been apparently purposely left out of the published report. In a statement issued by Bishop Walls, he said: "In eighteen days after the General Conference, Bishop Kyles published the minutes which showed the most glaring maneuver to defend himself, to suppress the facts, and to discredit the leaders who took a position to have a clear accounting of the financial affairs of the church. Through some trick of politics, the audit which was privately directed and paid for by the financial board, and which ignored the general auditor of the connection, was gotten over at the General Conference. "Because certain bishops and members were suspected as opposing this, the minutes plainly discriminate against them in the chopping up of their reports, thus failing to give credit to the work of a great number of the people in some areas. Certain legislations, such as the concentrating of the departments in the financial building at Washington, D.C., which Bishop Kyles opposed, are not published in the minutes, although passed in the General Conference. Other legislation of great importance was cut of the report in the published minutes. As many as forty mistakes and omissions were counted by one man upon slight scanning of the minutes. "As a reprisal for being removed from the chairmanship of the publication board, Bishop Kyles had (Continued on page 2) 13-YR. OLD BOY HELD ON STATUTORY CHARGE Police of the Ninth precinct arrested a 13-year-old youth, living in the 100 block of Fifteenth street, northeast, last week, on a statutory charge. The lad pleaded guilty to attempted rape before Judge Helen Sellers in Juvenile Court., Monday. The complainant, a girl of 4 years, lived in the same block. She was attacked while her parents were away from home, in her home. When the child's mother, upon returning, found her crying and questioned her police were notified. The little girl was taken to Freedmen's Hospital in the prescinct patrol and treated by a staff physician. Judge Sellers ordered that the boy be examined for mental derangement. Sentenc was suspended pending the outcome of the examination. OSBORNE SEEKS FULL TITLE TO JOINT PROPERTY OSBORNE SEEKS FULL TITLE TO JOINT PROPERTY Asks Court to Direct His Divorced Wife to Turn Over Half Interest Jerome B. Osborne, through Attorneys Lambert, Yeatman and Cannell, filed a bill in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday, asking that the interest of his divorced wife, Ruth A. Osborne, in a piece of real estate owned by him, be declared void. According to the bill, Mr. Osborne purchased, on January 31, 1924, the house in which he and his wife were then living at 766 Fairmont street, northwest. The purchase was made from Mrs. Emma M. Pinn. When the deed was made the bill states, it included Mrs. Osborne as a joint owner even though all of the purchase money was furnished by the husband. A clause was included, however, which said that Mrs. Osborne would retain her share in the property only as long as she "remained a faithful and loyal wife." The action of Mr. Osborne this week is based on that clause in the deed. He points out that Mrs. Osborne forfeited her right to the half interest when she violated her marriage vows which violations led to the granting of an absolute divorce from her, last April. Mr. Osborne asks that the court recognize her as a trustee for himself and direct her to reconvey the half interest she held as such to him. Mr. Osborn lives at the Fairmont street address. MRS. DAISY LAMPKIN VISITS HEADQUARTERS Mrs. Daisy B. Lampkin, of Pittsburgh, vice-chairman of the organization committee of the Eastern Division of the Colored Organization of the Colored Voters Division, Republican National Committee, visited Washington to inspect the new headquarters in the Barr Building, Friday, and to prepare for launching of activities among the women of the East. Mrs. Lampkin, who has just returned from a tour of points in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and New York, reported great interest on the part of colored women in the success of Hoover and Curtis.

Negro leaders of the Republican party assembled here Tuesday to discuss the plans for an active campaign among colored voters of the country and to complete organization plans begun here several weeks ago. A resolution was passed expressing the implicit confidence in the ability of John R. Hawkins, secretary, A. L. Holsey, and Emmett J. Scott, who have been severely criticised by some Negro leaders. The resolution was as follows: "In view of the criticism from certain individuals reflecting upon Chairman John R. Hawkins, Emmett J. Scott, and Secretary A. L. Holsey as non-voters, we do hereby record our implicit confidence in them and their ability to conduct an enthusiastic and effective campaign for Hoover and Cutris; and we pledge to them our unanimous support and further pledge to co-operate in every possible way to accomplish this purpose."

Ford, Grand Master of Masons, was struck by a passing auto and painfully injured. Mr. Ford had just left the residence of Attorney Frank T. Fuller, with whom he had conferred regarding matters concerning the new Masonic Temple project. Just as he was in the act of boarding the street car, a passing machine knocked him to the street and rendered him unconscious. Mr. Ford refused hospital treatment and proceeded to his home, 1910 Third street, northwest, where it was found that he had sustained severe bruises, a badly sprained left leg, and lacerations of the right hand and head. The motorist stopped immediately after the accident, and it is understood has agreed to reimburse Mr. Ford for all expenses incident to medical treatment. Mr. Ford was confined to his home for a week, and is under the medical care of Dr. Jay O. Garland.

During the questioning of the prisoner by Judge Mattingly, Mauzey fold the court that he simply had the razor for the purpose of cutting rope during his work. It developed, however, that Mauzey had been locked up at the Third precinct for shooting crap by Police man H. L. Jacobs (white), and when searched was found to be in possession of a razor.

Miss Jackson is at Fresden's Hospital with three bullet wounds in her back and thigh. The shooting brought to a close an alleged love affair in which the arrested man was courting a woman living in the house next door to where he lived with his wife and two small children. A quarrel between the two on Monday led up to the tragedy. Smith, according to the story told by relatives of Miss Jackson, became angry when the girl advised him she was through with him. He made several attempts, it is said, at reconciliation but all were in vain. Following his last futile attempt to 'make up,' Smith left (Continued on page 5) MAN FALLS FROM BLDG. OF AGRICULTURE DEPT. While washing windows on the third floor of the main building of the Department of Agriculture early last Friday morning, John H. Howard, 348 V street, northwest, lost his balance and fell a distance of approximately fifty feet to the pavement below. He was rushed to Emergency Hospital, where it was found that he had sustained severe fractures of the skull and leg, lacerations of the face, and possible internal injuries. Upon recovering consciousness at the hospital, Howard stated that after losing his balance and realizing that a fall was inevitable, he attempted to launch off into space so as to land upon his feet. Had he not exhibited this presence of mind, his death undoubtedly would have resulted immediately. Officials and employees of the Department have exhibited the greatest sympathy for the young man in his fight for life, and every possible medical attention is being furnished by the Government. It is understood that Howard has a good chance of recovery. DETECTIVE HURT IN FIGHT WITH 2 BOYS Detective R. J.

In one you have too much leadership and in the other you don't have any. The result of both is the same—confusion and defeat. The Negro race has possibly suffered more from the lack of leadership than it has from anything else. This has not been because there were none qualified to lead, but because the potential leaders themselves have sulked in their camps when they found out that others than themselves have been trusted with the toga of leadership. The appointment of Professor John R. Hawkins, a man possessing every element of leadership, to head the Colored Voters' Department of the Republican National Committee, has met with wide acclaim among the rank and file of Republicans. However, there have been rumblings of discontent among those who likewise aspired to this leadership and lost. This discontent has manifested itself in open opposition to the very leadership which these malcontents should now be following. Like Pontius Pilate, they can find no reasonable fault with this man, but still, they are perfectly willing, in order to advance their own selfish interest, to sacrifice him on an altar of malice. How unlike are the actions of these men in comparison with men of another race, who likewise were defeated in their ambitions, but after a definite leadership had been designated, readily fell in line under that leadership. The man who occupies the second place on the Republican ticket, Senator Curtis, was himself once a bitter foe of the one he is now campaigning for. When Hubert Work was selected over Senator George Moses of New Hampshire, Senator Moses continued his loyalty to this leadership. There was no more bitter ender in the pre-convention fight than Mr. Hillis of New York. But witness the meeting of Mr. Hoover and Mr. Hillis in Washington this week. He has fully accepted the Work leadership because he considers the cause greater than the man. Unfortunately there can be only one head of the Colored Voters' Division of the Republican party. There are many men who believe that their qualifications are superior to those possessed by others. Surely all could not get this one position. The right and honorable thing, for those who were not so fortunate as to be selected, to do was to fall in line behind the leadership of the one who was selected. Anything else would be treason. It would be devotion to selfish purposes rather than a desire to serve their party. The Negro is being watched during this campaign as he has never been before. He has a wonderful opportunity to prove to the world that the race can not only produce men capable of leadership, but, that it will also follow that leadership. Professor John R. Hawkins unquestionably possesses the important qualities of leadership. His type is new to the political field. It is welcomed by those who have the welfare and advancement of the Republican party at heart. It will be fought, hindered and riled at by those who place their own selfish gain ahead of the needs of their party. THE NEGRO AND THE MOVIES According to a news item carried elsewhere in this paper, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, one of the largest producers of moving pictures in the world, is planning to produce a feature picture with every member of the cast colored except one. To assure the public of a really high class production Washington Tribune Washington Tribune leading directors has been placed in charge. Already agents of the company are in New York City making screen tests of colored players. Negro spirituals will also get a chance in the film. They will be reproduced in sound for "atmospheric" effects. If this projected picture materializes, it will be one of the first big productions using nearly all Negro players produced by one of the recognized leading producing companies. While there have been a number of all-Negro pictures, mostly by Negro producers, they have not, because of the lack of sufficient capital, come up to the standard set for American moving pictures. The newest and latest production of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," while based on slavery conditions before the Civil War, did not use Negroes in all roles where the characters were "colored." However, it is one of the first big productions in which a Negro plays the leading role. The Negro's place in American life cannot much longer be ignored even by the scenario writers and picture producers. Wherever given an opportunity, the Negro has made good in the movies. Possibly the most famous of the race's stars on the "silver screen" are "Sunshine Sammy," now retired because of size, and Farina. Both of these helped in no small way to make the "Our Gang" comedies the nation's favorite. Noble Johnson is another Negro who has won fame in the movies. There are many stories of Negro life that should be told. There are many heroic deeds that should be portrayed. There are thousands of Negro boys and girls who can make good if given the chance. With the latest invention in talking movies, not only can the Negro act for American audiences, but his songs—the real songs of America—can also be heard in their unadulterated tones and thus carry to millions of people a joy never before realized. The Negro race will welcome Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's effort to produce its contemplated picture; and hopes that nothing will deter King Vidor from giving Negro actors the opportunity they rightfully deserve. THOMAS L. JONES FOR JUDGE The name of Attorney Thomas L. Jones, has been suggested to the President of the United States for appointment to the vacancy in the police court judgeship caused by the death of the late Judge McDonald. The suggestion was made by the Colored Bar Association and has been re-echoed by numerous personal letters from all classes and groups of citizens of the District as well as the several states. In no other department of the District government can the presence of a Negro exert an influence for good to a better advantage than in the police court. The race's proportion of arrests that are tried there are out of all proportions to its population. There are many reasons for this. But one of the chief reasons is the openly manifested race prejudice. With a Negro sitting on the bench meting out justice, a long step toward remedying this condition will be taken. This is practically the unanimous view of the Negroes of this city. The fact that the Bar Association has suggested the name of Attorney Jones, makes it mandatory for all the citizens who believe in justice and the rights of citizens regardless of race, color, or creed, to demand his appointment to fill the vacancy. Attorney Thomas L. Jones has been a practitioner before the local courts for forty years. He is familiar with the routine of the courts and is fully capable of serving if appointed. There can be no good reason put forward by the local Republican organization or the President himself why a Negro should not receive this appointment. As a Republican, the Negro has been loyal, devout and unswerving. As a citizen, he has been patriotic, and law abiding. The Tribune joins with the Bar Association and others in asking that the appointment of Thomas L. Jones as police court judge, be POETS' CORNER (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children." If you commune with the poetical muse, send in your original verses.

Peters (13) To lose a large sum of money in the midst of the sea; He thought that the money would never be found, For to get it would cause some poor creature to drown. His mind was worried, his soul in despair, For he had bills to pay, and expenses to clear; There was no one in the world to whom he could go; No place where he thought he could get any more. So to his best old friend he went and said, "My dear friend, my dear friend, business is dead: I have lost all in this world I possessed Can you tell me what to do for the best?" His friend said, "I'm sorry of your condition, dear old friend, But I'm really in need and have no money to lend, My bills are due, my rent hasn't been paid, And I really can't help you," the old man said. The merchant was puzzled now what could he do, To pay all his bills and buy his children shoes? There was but one thought that came in his mind, To steal or to rob or some thing of that kind. In stealing and robbing he might lose his life, And leave his little children and his poor old wife, He thought it all over and asked, "What can I do?" Then he thought, "I'll pray and ask God to help me through. God heard him pray and answered his prayer. And made the old merchant a rich miser's heir, And today he is rich, with a million or more Spending it daily in helping the poor." A FAVORITE POEM Daer Editor: Today I am sending to you my favorite poem, which is called "Wishing." I like it because it tells us how to make the world better, wiser and happier. The verses follow: Do you wish the world were better? Let me tell you what to do. Set a watch upon your actions, Keep them always straight and true. Rid yourself of selfish motives, Let your thoughts be clean and high. You can make a little Eden Of the sphere you occupy. Do you wish the world were wiser? Then suppose you make the start By accumulating wisdom In the scrap book of your heart. Do not waste a page on folly, Live to learn and learn to live. If you want to give men knowledge You must get it ere you give. Do you wish the world were happy? Then remember day by day. Just to scatter seeds of kindness As you pass along the way. For the pleasure of the many May be oftimes traced to one. As the hand that plants the acorn Shelters armies from the sun. It is important all should learn the elements needed in our daily food to build up the body. Make the diet as varied as possible. Avoid sameness. Do not mix too many things together at one meal. Bear in mind, the body demands a certain quantity of the following things: First—Fats, to be found in meat, nuts, butter, olive oil, cream and certain cereals such as oatmeal. Fats sustain the nervous system and maintain heat. Second—Protein, which is found in nuts, macaroni, brown bread, whole wheat bread, eggs, oatmeal, cheese, lentils, peas and beans. Protein forms flesh, builds muscle and produces strength. Third — Phosphates, which are found in nearly all vegetables, and in the husk of the wheat, which is included in all the breads mentioned (not in white flour), cheese, bananas, apples and any fruits. Phosphates build the bone, feed the brain and nerves and purify the system. Fourth—Sugar which is obtained 1916 Third St.. N.W. easily obtained in fresh fruits and pure honey. Sugar supplies heat and energy. Fifth—Water, which is necessary to purify the body and to supply the fluid for the excretion; which are necessary to keep the system in a state of even health. JENE AND JOAN By Evelyn Robinson (11) Once upon a time there were two little girls who were very poor. They were good friends, too, and their names were Jene and Joan. Now Joan's father had been rich once, but in some investments he had lost his wealth. Jene's father was dead and her mother had to work very hard. Jene and Joan were ten years old, and they were neighbors. Jene was a kind little girl and was willing to help her mother, but Joan was a selfish little girl and did not like to help her mother because she had been spoiled when she was rich. One day Joan's mother sent her to live with a very wealthy aunt who lived in another city, and this stopped Jene and Joan from playing together. Later Jene's mother took her to the country and Joan's aunt took her there too. It happened that Jene and Joan were next door neighbors in the country, but they did not know that until one day Joan was wandering out in the woods after berries, and got lost. In wandering about trying to find her way out of the woods, she fell and hurt her foot to such an extent that it was very painful for her to walk. Fortunately Jene and her sixteen-year-old cousin, Frank, were riding their ponies near where Joan was and upon hearing her groans, they found her. "Why, Joan, what is the matter?" asked Jene. "I came to get berries and I got lost. Then I hurt my foot so that I can not walk. I want to go home to mother," cried Joan. "Well," said Jene, "It's your fault. You wanted to leave your parents rather than help her with the work. But come—get on my pony, and we will get out of the woods." Soon they were home and Joan's foot was dressed and at the end of the week instead of Joan going with her aunt she went home with Jene and her mother to her own parents. She was so glad to be with them that she promised she never wanted to leave them again. She also said that she would never be selfish but would help with the work. She found out that by helping and not being selfish she was happier. Joan was very grateful to Jane for helping her when she hurt her foot and they were friends once more but with a different friendship than ever before. 1805 4th St., N.W. Don't Say Nigger MAKING A LITTLE CHANGE FOR MYSELF By Joseph Young (13) Early one morning this summer I went to the country to a place in Maryland where I spent my vacation. The lady at whose house I stayed had a dog and a large garden. There were plenty of children in the neighborhood to play with. One day while I was playing with some boys and girls I met a little girl whose name was Beatrice. This little girl lived with her grandmother. Beatrice was telling her acquaintances how they could earn some money for themselves. This was her plan. She said, "If you pick a quart of blackberries you can sell them for ten cents; a quart of cherries will bring you five cents." I decided to get busy. I got a pail and picked two quarts of blackberries and one quart of wild cherries. Mrs. Allen gave me twenty-five cents for them, and the father of the children at the house where I stayed, gave me five cents, and all together I had thirty cents. 1911 Third St.. N.W. Don't Say Nigger A FAVORITE POEM Dear Editor: Several weeks ago, I won a book for the best double letter sentence in the "Double Letter Contest." To show my appreciation for the book, I am sending in my favorite poem which is entitled "The Mother." which was composed by Mrs. Georgia Douglass Johnson, a Negro poetess. The poem: The mother soothes her mantled child With incantation sad and wild; A deep compassion brims her eye And stills upon her life, the sigh. Her thoughts are leaping down the years, O'er branding bars, through seething tears, Her heart is sandaling his feet Adown the world's corroding street. Then, with a start she dons a smile His tender yearnings to beguile, And only God will ever know The wordless measure of her woe.

This is the memorial station to the late Eugene V. Debbs, socialist leader. According to A. Philip Randolph, general organizer, every week a program will be presented consisting of Negro singers and musicians, together with talks on the Pullman porters' fight for a living wage, as well as on the general service of Pullman porters. The general organizer said that, "It is our purpose to educate the public to the fact that Pullman porters can not rely upon tips for a living; that tips are uncertain, as shown by the fact that one porter may make twenty-five dollars a month in tips and another less than five dollars."

This is an initial part of the local program of the Aframerican Cooperative Society. Professor Kelly Miller, in an article appearing recently in a local paper has admitted the futility of trying to solve our problem through political action. However, he does not offer any remedy. Since our problem is essentially an economic one, the Consumer's Cooperative Society is the only intelligent and practical solution. The maxim, "In union there is strength," is an old one, but a true one. Co-operation has been defended in theory by America's greatest sociologist, Lester F. Ward. Ward says: "Co-operation is an artificial principle, the result of superior intelligence. Competition is a natural law, and involves no thought. Hence those who co-operate thrive at the expense of those who compete." In practice, the wisdom of the Cooperative Society is attested by the success of the Co-operative Union of Great Britain. "The 1314 retail distributive societies which were members of the Co-operative Union of Great Britain distributed in 1924 about $885,000,000 worth of commodities to their members. The surplus savings amounted to over $75,000,000. This gigantic economic structure has grown out of a movement started back in 1844 by twenty-eight ragged, hungry weavers, with an initial capital of about $140.00. If our women who are struggling to educate their children wish to create opportunities for these children to make use of their training, they will support the program of the Aframerican Co-operative Society. It is obvious that others are co-operating to keep you in the lower positions of life. Those who would be free, must possess and show their power. Unalterable remains the basis of all earthly greatness. Those who exalt themselves shall be exalted. The Quality Grocery Store 12th & Q Sts., N.W.

He took a shot at southern congressmen who "live wet and vote dry." He pointed with pride to Herbert Hoover, the Republican presidential candidate, and was loudly applauded. Mayor Thompson is ill, recuperating in the woods of Wisconsin, Alderman Anderson, who was presiding, stated. William B. Saltiel, city attorney, represented the mayor in welcoming the delegates and visitors to the City of Chicago. Lauds DePriest Mr. Saltiel eulogized Mayor Thompson. He referred to Oscar DePriest, who was sitting on the platform, as "the next congressman from the second district." A welcome on behalf of Chicago Elks was extended by Alderman Robert R. Jackson. He told the delegates and visitors that as far as the Negroes of this country are concerned "you are now in the capital of the nation." Alderman Jackson declared that he is not worried about either Hoover or Smith, but that he is deeply concerned over the fact that there has not been a Negro in Congress for 27 years. He predicted the election of Mr. DePriest and said that when he goes to Congress there will be others of his race to follow. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson responded to these welcome addresses. He declared that Thompson is the greatest mayor in the world. "For the sake of fifteen million oppressed people," he pleaded, "send a black man to congress." He pointed to Mr. DePriest as the successor to Representative Madden. Wilson Makes Retort C E for the enforcement of the eighteenth amendment which interferes with a man's stomach, how much should it spend for the enforcement of the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth amendments?" he asked. Mr. Wilson recalled the distance he had travelled from a bell boy at the Palmer House at the age of 13 years to the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks. The delegates and visitors were welcomed on behalf of past exalted rulers by Percy Ash. Mrs. Ella G. Berry, the grand daughter ruler of the grand temple, welcomed the delegates and visitors on behalf of the temples. Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, grand secretary of the grand temple, responded. William C. Hueston, Elks commissioner of education, responded to the welcome extended on behalf of Chicago Elks. Musical numbers included a selection by the Liberty Life trio, a vocal solo by Mrs. Bessa Martin, and a selection by the Martella Temple choir with Mrs. Hattie Parker directing. Delegations Welcomed The exercises Monday afternoon were in the nature of a formal welcome. The South Side began early last week to greet and welcome the antlered herd coming into this city by train and by automobile. The streets are decorated. Across them hang American flags, Elk pennants and bunting. The fronts of buildings are also decorated. In all the principal thoroughfares of the South Side are seen the Elk colors, purple and white, and the Elk emblem, the head of an antler. State street from Thirty-fourth to Thirty-sixth streets, looks like the midway of a carnival. The only attractions, however, are "gyp" games running wide open. They are all derivations of three-card monte. If it is a drawing, draw a red number and the backer will pay 10 to 1. If it is a wheel, if the indicator stops on a red number likewise he will pay 10 to 1. When business is dull, if you lose the first time, he will give you a second chance free. Along these two blocks with one "con" game after another, the greeting instead of "Hello Bill," is "Hello, Sucker!" Support Wilson The Finley Wilson forces had a caucus last Sunday night in the dining room of the Vincennes Hotel. It was well attended. The delegates there pledged themselves to support Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson for re-election and his program. They did not know what his program is. Charles H. Joell, of Manhattan Lodge, State Deputy of New York, urged that the Grand Exalted Rul- er be given a cabinet that will co- operate with him in all things. This suggestion carried with it opposi- tion to George E. Bates, grand secretary, and James C. Carter, grand treasurer. Mr. Bates is being opposed by J. E. Kelley, of Birmingham, Dr. H. D. Oliver of New York, and the Rev. George T. Avant, of Durham, N.C. None of these candidates is believed to have a chance to defeat him. JOHN R.

Wilson Not Opposed Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson has no opposition as yet. Some eastern lodge wishes to present the name of Casper Holstein, of New York, for grand exalted ruler. Mr. Holstein is unwilling. He says that his business interests would not permit him to serve and that he and Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson are friends. Mr. Holstein was largely responsible for the dissolution of the injunction against colored Elks which had been in effect for nineteen years in New York state.

RALEIGH, N.C. — Announcement was made here this week that William C. Craver, formerly of the Y.M.C.A., has accepted the post of field secretary for Shaw University, with headquarters here and in New York City. Mr. Craver has been for a number of years director of student work in field service in the eastern and southern regions for the Y.M.C.A. JOHN R. HAWKINS GIVEN VOTE OF CONFIDENCE (Continued from page 1) ored Voters' Division of the Republican party, presiding, the chairmen and members of the western and eastern bureaus, and the publicity, organization and voters' committees, told of the activities in the various sections of the country and outlined a program for a nation-wide campaign for the support of colored voters for the Republican ticket. Reports from these individuals showed that active work had been started in the various sections and that the colored citizens would play an active part in the forthcoming election. The meeting was held on the tenth floor of the Barr Building and the activities included, in addition to the reports of the various leaders, addresses by Dr. Hubert Work, chairman of the National Republican Committee, and Mrs. Alvin T. Hert, chairman of the women's division. Dr. Work Savs: Dr. Work pointed out that the sole purpose of the Republican organization was to effect the success of the party ticket in the forthcoming national election and referred to the importance of the colored vote. "We must not," declared Dr. Work, "forget that we are opposing one of the strongest organizations the Democrats have ever boasted. Therefore we must bring before the voters, not the imaginary issue but the real issues. We have selected Hubert Hoover as our standard bearer because we believe he is a better, a bigger and stronger man than his opponent. We are depending this year upon the patriotism and the loyalty of the American people to the Republican party and the present government." According to Mrs. Hert, "the vote of the colored women is of vast importance," and urged the campaign committee to pay "special attention to them." "The women of the colored race," declared Mrs. Hert, "are tremendously important. They possess organization possibilities of which even the men can not boast. Bring them into the organization and make them an integral part of it." Those Who Attended Among those who attended the conference were: Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the executive committee, State Senator Adelbert H. Roberts, Chicago, director of the western bureau, Mrs. Addie Hunton, of the eastern women's bureau, Mrs. M. F.

WALLS (Continued from page 1) the minutes published by a private concern and ignored the publication house at Charlotte, which has always done this work and which publishes the periodicals of the church. The compiling committee, it is alleged, was not authorized to publish the minutes, but only to compile them. It is further alleged that the Bishop published the minutes without giving the manager of the publication house the opportunity to bid on them. "Making Private Sales" "Besides doing this, the bishop is selling the minutes privately for one dollar a copy, which takes the matter entirely out of the hands of the publishing board, or the publishers of the church, and leaves it in his (Bishop Kyles) own hands. "The report of our great church has been reduced to the narrow and contracted proportions of a personal document-that has sacrificed the interests of the cause of our great general church to personal resentment and unfair chicanery. "I doubt if these minutes have had a chance before the members of the committee for thorough study and approval. I certainly do know that it belies the history and should not be accepted as the official publication of our General Conference proceedings. I, for one, repudiate it heartily and unequivocally and I am prepared to show reasonable and detailed causes for the contention that I make. "I maintain that the whole truth is not in the minutes published, that part facts without the record that decided propositions that concern the very destiny of the church, and to which the Conference gave the people's time, money and trust, and ever which delegates earnestly ed, are not published as decided. I further maintain that loop holes and certain mutilations as affected the work of many of our worthy people are shrewdly and purposely maneuvered out of the publication. "I beg the A.M.E. Zion Church again to free itself from the sinister hand that proposes to take over the church into the clutch of a self constituted bosshood, and an unfair conspiracy against any and all who with equal rights dare to speak out their convictions conscientiously for the common good."

JACKSON AND DePRIEST CHICAGO BOSSES CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 29. —Daniel McKee Jackson, Republican committeeman of the second ward and a Thompson-Crowe 'America First' leader, was appointed a member of the Illinois commerce commission by Governor Len Small last Monday. He succeeds Edward H. Wright, whose resignation, effective September 1, was made known at the time Mr. Jackson's appointment was announced. Mr. Wright gave ill health as his reason for quitting. Mr. Jackson is an undertaker with offices at 3400 South Michigan boulevard. He is a political ally of Oscar DePriest, who was named recently to take the place of the late Martin B. Madden as the Republican candidate for congress from the second district. Questioned by Jury Mr. Jackson was recently called before the special grand jury investigating election frauds and questioned concerning the collection of protection money from vice and gambling resort keepers. He denied that he was the "policy king" of the South Side and insisted that he had never seen a policy wheel. Mr. Wright was appointed a commerce commissioner on November 20, 1923. He has been in ill health for a year. Political observers, however, discounted both his illness and his age as reasons for his resignation. Mr. Wright opposed Mayor William Hale Thompson in both the primary and election of 1927. He was following Governor Len Small, but Mayor Thompson and Governor Small formed an alliance. Wright's Ward Invaded Mayor Thompson in the election carried Wright's ward by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Wright was replaced as the committeeman for the second ward by Mr. Jackson. The appointment of Mr. Jackson, political observers say, indicates that Mr. Wright is through as a political power in Chicago and that That Baby You've Longed For Mrs. Burton Advise Women on Motherhood and Companionship "For several years I was denied the blessing of motherhood," writes Mrs. Maraert Burton of Kansas City.

ELKS' PARADE AN HOUR LONG CHICAGO, Ill., Aug. 29.—Resplendent in bright colors, the Elks' annual parade moved north on Grand boulevard from Fifty-first to Thirty-third street, Tuesday, while all traffic on this principal thoroughfare was stopped. Alderman R. R. Jackson, the grand marshal, headed the procession with his assistants on horseback. A squad of police followed. The next in line was the Eighth Illinois regiment with its band. The flag bearers followed. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and Grand Daughter Ruler Ella. G. Berry rode in automobiles. The automobile in which the Grand Daughter Ruler rode was covered with a blanket of crepe paper with purple tassels. The first lodge in the procession was Great Lakes, No. 43, of Chicago with its band. The local temples and other lodges followed. The Fort Dearborn lodge had a beautiful battleship float in the parade. Kansas City Cops The Mid West lodge of Kansas City, Mo., was headed by a squad of Kansas City policemen. The Phyllis Wheatley temple of Boston. Mass., were riding habits consisting of black derbies, purple coats and white trousers. There were fifteen bands in the parade.

It took the parade an hour to pass in review. CAB DRIVER HELD IN DEATH OF ANOTHER The testimony of three witnesses failed to clear Ernest A. Fairfax, a taxicab driver living at 1103 V street, northwest, in the killing of William Tines, 746 Fairmont street, another taxi driver, during an altercation in front of the Republican Theatre, U street near Fourteenth street, northwest, last Thursday night. Fairfax was held for the action of the grand jury on a charge of murder. Tines died at Gallinger Hospital at 3:20 o'clock Friday mornroad, and Windsor L. Johnson, 1112 T street, northwest, two other taxi drivers, all of whom were awaiting of a fractured skull he received when struck on the head with an automobile jack-iron. George Jackson, 2430 Ontario ing a boom of business with the close of the theatre's final performance, and Albert E. Anderson, 1341 U street, northwest, a waiter took the witness stand as眼 witnesses to the tragedy. They all testified that Fairfax attacked Tines with the iron only after the latter had made threats of personal violence against Fairfax. Each witness stated that Tines was seen to advance toward Fairfax with one hand held threatingly in a pocket. Police of the Eighth precinct found nothing on the person of Tines when he was treated at the Gallinger Hospital by Dr. Louis A. Synder. Tines had previously been carried, by Johnson, to Freedmen's Hospital. He refused treatment and was then taken to Emergency Hospital where he again refused treatment. Emergency officials then sent him, in their ambulance, to the Gallinger. Funeral services for Tines were held Sunday, August 26, from his residence. Rev. O. L. Rand officiated. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lucy Tines and a sister, Mrs. Esther Clark. He was employed as a mechanic by the firm of Smith and Dayton. Learning that Norris Dutch, 18 years old, of Fairmount Park, Congress Heights, Md., was scheduled to report to a local employment agency for a job, Saturday, Headquarters Detectives Robert Ogle, E. E. Thompson, and Thomas Nally, set a trip for him and arrested him on a charge of larceny. The charge involved the theft of a gold watch and chain from Otto C. Bartley (white), 1740 Irving street, for whom Dutch had worked prior to taking the jewelry. According to the testimony given by Detective Ogle before Judge Robert E. Mattingly, Monday, Dutch quit his former job last week. The jewelry, he said "quit" the Bartley home at the same time of Dutch's disappearance. A search was begun for Dutch and Ogle said he came across the youth's name on an employment agency blotter. When the youth applied he was "hired" by two white men who led him to headquarters where he learned his "employers" were Thompson and Nally. Hampshire Judge Mattingly sentenced Dutch to six months straight, following the latter's plea of guilty. Plays With Wrong End of Ice Pick, Gets Year In spite of the fact that she told him "he'd lived long enough and she was going to kill him," and then she had attacked him with the serious and not the playful end of an ice pick, Willie Broadstreet, 333 Missouri avenue, told Judge Robert E. Mattingly in police court, Monday, that he thought Hattie Carter, 86 G street, southwest, had bean just playing. After remarking that he had never heard of such playful ways, Judge Mattingly said, one year in jail might make the woman take life in a more serious vein.

BEATS LLOYD HAHN DUBLIN, Ireland, Aug., (ANP) —American enthusiasts were bitterly disappointed here in the Tailteann games (the Irish Olympic) when Phil Edwards, the Canadian Negro runner, led Lloyd Hahn, American star, to the tape in the 800-meter run by six yards. Edwards has beaten Hahn consistently since they have been in Europe. He and Hahn fought a duel on even terms until they rounded the final turn, when Edwards uncorked a terrible spring at the finish and left the "Boston Express" looking more like a side-tracted freight.

During the World War, Mr. and Mrs. Madden resided in this city and took active part in the community center activities, that the War Camp Community Service had started. Mr. Madden and his wife moved from here and lived in the North, thence to Michigan. At the time of his death he was living at Kalamazoo, Michigan. He had been operated on at the Bronson Hospital, of that city, for appendicitis. On Friday morning, August 24, he died. His father, Samuel W. Madden, went to Kalamazoo and accompanied the body and the widow to this city. Rev. I. I. McDonald, pastor of Mead Chapel, conducted the services, assisted by Rev. A. W. Atkins, of the Alfred Street Baptist Church and Rev. Samuel B. Ross, of the Third Baptist Church.

HIGHLAND BEACH TO REFORM CIVIC ASS'N At a mass meeting held last Sunday at the residence of Thomas Williams, one of the commissioners of Highland Beach, measures looking toward the reorganization of their citizens' association were adopted by the residents of the village. It was decided that the organization should resume its former title of "Highland Beach Citizens' Association," which was discarded several years ago in favor of the more comprehensive one of "Highland Beach and Vicinity Citizens' Association." It was explained that this step was desirable because Venice Beach, the community which adjoins Highland Beach on the south but which is outside of the corporate limits of Highland Beach, had perfected its own civic organization, known as the "Venice Beach Community Association." Heretofore, both communities have participated in the consideration of such matters as good roads, public order, sanitary measures, etc. Another innovation of the reorganization plan was the selection of an executive committee of the association to advise and co-operate with the town commissioners, with a view to keeping the latter informed as to the collective state of mind of the residents, as expressed through the association. The following officers were unanimously elected: Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, president; M. Grant Lucas, vice-president; Mrs. Eula R. Grey, secretary; and Mrs. Osborn T. Taylor, treasurer. OFFICERS ELECTED AT DENTAL CONVENTION BUCKROE BEACH, Va.—Dr. George H. Butcher, of Washington, D.C., retiring president of the Interstate Dental Association, urged more co-operation in his annual address, which he delivered before the annual convention of the association. Officers elected for the ensuing year are: Dr. A. O. Reid, Baltimore, Md., president; Dr. Sylvester Jefferson, Clarkesville, Tenn., vicepresident; Dr. A. S. Hunter, Durham, N.C., treasurer; Dr. M. D. Wiseman, Washington, D.C., general secretary. Dr. Alexander Diviera of Greensboro, N.C., was selected as lecturer for the association at Howard University, and Dr. Rescoe C.

TREATED, ONE WEEK FREE Short . breathe THEATRICAL LINCOLN THEATRE The Lincoln Theatre offers, beginning Sunday, September 2, 3, 4 and 5, and 6, one of the greatest dramas of all times, "The Cossacks," featuring John Gilbert, ably supported by Renee Adoree and Ernest Torrence. "The Cossacks" is huge in concept, cast and setting, and like the "Big Parade" its gigantic effectiveness serves only to accentuate the love theme of the boy and girl that runs through it. But there is still another element of love in it; one that lends itself to more powerful drama and that is the love of father and son; the love of a strong fighting man that becomes almost fanaticism under the stress of emotional turbulence. Cossacks brought from Europe stage sensational rides in picturesque garbs of their race; gigantic settings, including a whole Russian town, hundreds of people in colorful Russian garb from a background of kaleidoscopic beauty. Beginning September 7 and 8, one of the best casts of the season has been employed in the making of "Under the Black Eagle", Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's thrilling romantic drama. Ralph Forbes, who is featured in this northern film epic, "The Trail of 98", directed by Clarence Brown and who appeared opposite Lillian Gish in "The Enemy", and with Lon Chaney in "Mr. Wu", has the leading role. Marcelline Day, who played opposite Lon Chaney in "The Hypnotist," and "The Big City," has the featured feminine role. While the picture serves as the initial starring vehicle of Flash, a remarkably intelligent polic dog now being introduced to the screen by Harry Rapi, who first presented such canine stars as Peter the Great and Rin Tin Tin, Bert Roach, one of the principals in King Vidors' 12-reel production, "The Crowd," has leading comedy role, while William Fairbanks and Marc McDermott and other well known screen players are seen in prominent parts. In addition there will be the usual Fox movietone, also Vitaphone presentations which are a sfollows: Renne Tomanova and Company, an aggregation of internationally known Russian artists in "Three Winnie Lightner, the "Song-a-Minute Girl," and Weber and Fields. HOWARD THEATRE Bessie Smith, in person, comes to the Howard Theatre with her new offering, "Steamboat Days." She has not lost any of her stage pep and is going over bigger and greater than ever. Bessie is proud of her organization this year, fully equipped with a beautiful new production and all new costumes and a wonderful array of talent. Miss Smith has surrounded herself with a company of capable performers in all lines.

Bootsy has many new sayings and songs this year, and another little flashy bundle of pep is Julia Benbow. Julia will be remembered for her greatest work with Darktown Follies. Last, but not least, there is little Millie Holmes, the little lady with the voice of Black Patti. Millie sings like a nightengale with a world of pleasing personality. Many other stars such as Sam Davis, Hack Baer, and his laughing uke, and Lloyd Hollis, complete Miss Smith's cast. "The Count of Ten," an exciting picture of the prize ring, will be presented at the Howard Theatre on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, September 3, 4, and 5. It is the story of a young fighter's struggles to attain the middle-weight championship of the world against the greatest odds. Charles Ray, the lead, has a role that is different from any in which he has hitherto played. He is supported by James Gleason and Jobyna Ralston. Beginning Thursday, September 6, up to Sunday, September 9, Myrna Loy will be seen in the "Crimson City," a glamorous melodrama of the "House of a Thousand Daggers." Myrna Loy is featured as Nan Toy, the slave girl. On Friday, the usual midnight ramble will be held. Opportunity night, every Wednesday night at 9:30. BROADWAY THEATRE For Sunday and Monday, the screen offering will be Richard Barthelmess, supported by Montague Love, Lina Basquette, and Alice Joyce in the most famous drama of the underworld, "The Noose." It is one of the most dramatic roles Richard Barthelmess ever had, not excluding his never-to-be-forgotten 'The Patent Leather Kid.' Every known emotion will be stirred as this story of a gangster kid who would rather die than betray his mother's secret is unfolded. For Tuesday only, Warner Baxter, Patsy Ruth Miller, and William Collier, Jr., appear in a vivid story of flappers and sheiks, "The Tragedy of Youth." Wednesday and Thursday, the screen's greatest female personality—the girl with red hair and "It" Clara Bow, in a story especially written for her by Elinor Glyn, called "Red Hair." Strange as it may seem, the leading man, who plays opposite Miss Bow, also has red hair. Mr. Pinchback, the manager of the house, says all couples having red hair may see the picture without cost. Friday and Saturday, that attractive little star, Vera Reynolds, supported by Rudolph Schildkraut and Julia Faye, appear in an exciting fight picture that will keep you on edge throughout, "The Main Event." REPUBLIC THEATRE Beginning Saturday, September 1, the Republic will present "The Lion and the Mouse," a talking picture on the Vitaphone. You will not only see, but also hear Lionel Barrymore, May McAvoy, Alec Francis and William Collier, Jr., the principal players in this great dramatic production. The musical score for the picture, when dialogue is not heard, is played by the Vitaphone orchestra of one hundred pieces. "The Lion and the Mouse" is a powerful drama in which the spoken parts further enhances its power. The story is a rugged one, based on human relations which will be as true centuries hence, as they are today. A financial genius of the world of business ruthlessly ruins an old judge, who has made an important honest court decision against the giant of finance. The judge's daughter meets the son of the great money man while abroad. He follows her back to America where she discovers her father's plight and at once plans to set it right.

The Whole World Is Talking About This Talking Picture JOHNNY HUDGINS TO STAR IN "BLACKBIRDS" NEW YORK, August 8.—Johnny Hudgins went back to his old love, and Lew Leslie, white, producer of "Blackbirds," added a celebrity of two continents to his revue when the comedian signed, Thursday. Broadway will again welcome the Baltimore artist to her brilliantly lighted bosom, September 1, as the present edition of the revue which brought the late Florence Mills to the crest of her fame near its 200th performance. Faced on all sides by producers and managers who sought him as a means of boosting box office receipts, Mr. Hudgins consented to join the show under whose name he invaded Paris, and won England, during a year at the London Pavilion. "Blackbirds" continues to be a strong trade puller, grossing $15,000 weekly. The show is reported to be preparing for a road tour in October. TO BE PRODUCED NEW YORK, CITY. — Screen tests of prominent Negro stage actresses were begun here last Wednesday, under the direction of Al Morris, assistant to Harry Rapf, who came to New York for this purpose. The tests are being made by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Company in preparation for the all-Negro film which this company is planning to produce. It is understood that the proposed production will be under the direction of King Vidor, one of the country's leading directors. Mr. Vidor returned from Paris, France, recently, with this plan for a Negro production in mind, but kept his counsel to himself until the ground-work was laid for the picture. Mr. Vidor, it is claimed, will use Negro spirituals and folk songs in sound for atmospheric effects. There will be only one white player in the cast, according to present plans.
