Shake up Looms as Probe of Police Shooting Begins VVV THE STUDENTS WHO ATTEND the evening classes of the Mott School, at Fourth and W streets, northwest, can give no reason for not learning with such a pleasant teacher as Miss Thelma Watson, 1408 Hopkins street. Miss Watson is the daughter of Mrs. Annie Watson, and is a graduate of Miner Normal School with several summers' work at Chicago University to her credit. —Hyman Photo SUICIDE ATTEMPT TWO DISAPPEAR FAILS WHEN COP AFTER SHOOTING, CUTS MAN DOWN POLICE STUMPED An attempt to hang himself in his cell at the first precinct station house made by Lucius Butler, 38, 1445 S street, was thwarted by the turnkey before he was severely injured. Saturday. Butler was said to have made a noose from his belt and attached the other end to the top bars of his cell and was hanging suspended by his neck when discovered. He was accused of the theft of $15, but had not been committed for trial when he made the attempt on his life. Captain Thaddeus Bean told the press that the order requiring the removal of belts from prisoners applied only to drunks. WOULD-BE PEACEMAK'R LANDS IN HOSPITAL Ben Boyd, of Beantown, Md., is being treated in the Freedmen's Hospital for bullet wounds in the back received when he attempted to act as peace maker between fifteen men who were fighting near his home, Friday. According to information given hospital authorities, Boyd walked into the group and was remonstrating with them when one of the crowd shot him in the back and another struck him over the head, knocking him unconscious. He was unable to identify any of his assailants. Beantown is near Rockville, Md. Boyd says he will never play the peacemaker role again. MAN DIES WHEN INSANE PATIENTS FIGHT Charles Stokes, age 58, was struck and killed in a fist fight with Charles Lynch Bell, 35 years, at the St. Elizabeth's Hospital for the insane, Saturday. Stokes is said to have suffered from a concussion of the brain when he was felled by the younger man. Police of the Eleventh precinct were notified and conducted an investigation but no charges are likely to be brought on account of the mental condition of both men who were inmates of the institution.

The name given the police was that of Albert Thomas, although his place of residence or an accurate description was not obtained. Police combed the city, visiting all dispensaries and doctors' offices, but could not locate the injured woman. Baltimore police were notified to keep a lookout for the couple.

Twenty-three witnesses who were in the home, which according to police is conducted by Griffin, crowded the court room at the coroner's inquest, Tuesday morning, but authorities are still doubtful as to what caused the disturbance or who fired the shot that killed Mitchell.

More good luck came when Thomas, who was leaving the courtroom in his bare feet, having been forced to return the stolen shoes to Robert Russel, the victim, when Fearsome W.

The sentences were imposed when Scott withdrew his demand for a jury trial and pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and operating with a revoked permit on Good Hope road southeast, August 6. He was given 60 days straight and fined $200 or 30 days on the first charge and fined $200 or 30 days on the second count. George L.

POLICEMEN What Washington needs most during these times of crimes by policemen as revealed in the news of the day, is to make a reality of the policemen of the movies. In the movies, policemen are portrayed as men upholding the law—loved by all the children on their beats, men who protect the citizens and defend the majesty of the law. The figures on the number of policemen who have themselves been arrested and haled before the trial board on charges ranging from failing to ring in at their boxes to murder, are appalling. Even making big allowances for possible mis-charges, yet enough remains to show how far amiss of the movie ideal are a large part of the local force. The Negro citizens of Washington will gladly welcome a thorough investigation of the police department. They will likewise welcome a tightening up of the rules of the trial board. They will welcome anything that will relieve from their backs (and heads, too) the many injustices they bear and suffer at the hands of members of the police force. The human body is weak. The mind never seems more than one step from savagery. The dressing up of some men in a blue uniform with brass buttons, and a badge of authority, takes them backward this one step. Therefore, one of the first things to be investigated should be the inhuman treatment accorded many men and women during and after their arrest. The promiscuous use of firearms should likewise receive attention. Hardly a week passes by now that some Negro is not shot to death or seriously injured by a bullet from the gun of an officer. And in practically every case, the victim was guilty of only a misdemeanor—or of nothing at all except his well-grounded fears which prompted him to flee at sight of a menacing bluecoat. There is difficulty in getting cases before the Police Trial Board; and this is another important matter that deserves the attention of the investigating committee. An example of how delays are effected so that important witnesses for the prosecution may be tired out or bought off, is exemplified in a case now pending before the board. It concerns an officer of the Seventh Precinct. As a result of his rampage while drunk, he found himself in police court THE LETTER BOX BEACH NEIGHGORS Washington, D.C. September 6, 1928. Editor of the Tribune: As we are all agreed that lack of cohesion and co-operation is a besetting fault of our race, may I not present to your readers a glaring example of this shortcoming which recently came to my attention. Having heard much of the scenic beauty of Highland Beach, Maryland, and of the cozy, inviting, and in some cases almost palatial summer homes of its residents, and being aware that the latter pride themselves upon having reached the acme of intellectual and cultural development in our racial group, I gladly accepted the invitation of a friend to a motor trip of Highland Beach on Labor Day. I found none of these delightful details to be exaggerated in the slightest degree, but upon mingling with the residents, many of whom I discovered to be friends and acquaintances, I was astonished to observe that an undercurrent of spite and petty jealousy, if not actual malice toward each oth- EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE Washington Tribune Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BUREN PUBLISHING COMPANY and was also cited to appear before the trial board. When the case came up in the police court, his lawyer told the court that the officer was to appear before the trial board the next day on the same charge, hence he would ask for a continuance until after his appearance there. The case came before; the trial board the next day and the same lawyer told the trial board that as the officer was to appear before the police court on the same charge, that he would ask for a continuance until after the trial in the court. This continuance was also granted. Meanwhile the witnesses had been summoned to both places on the respective dates and now must again go back with still other delays in prospect, and the outraged citizen is still without redress. It is singular that with charges piled up against nearly one-fourth of the police force, that the men who have the hardest time getting on the force—and practically never receive promotion—are not involved in any of this trouble. These men are the Negro officers on the force. So far as the present investigation reveals, their records are clean. With brutality and prejudice rampant, what can Commissioner Dougherty and Major Hesse expect? They have sowed the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind. An aroused citizenry now demands that these conditions be remedied. It is up to those who are in charge to see that prompt and effective steps are taken. THE NEGRO AND AVIATION Aviation seems to be an enigma to the Negro. In practically every other American activity, the race has produced its quota of men who have forged their way to the front. But, aviation seems to be different. Negroes were among the earliest sailors and navigators. When the steam engine was applied to locomotion on land, the Negro early entered this new field and worked his way up from a layer of the rails to an engineer in the locomotive. In all branches of sports, some Negro has reached the top. In the various professions, colored practitioners can hold their own. Why then are they so conspicuous by their absence in aviation? Flying apparently is not difficult, Negroes are engaged in many other vocations as difficult, and even more hazardous. Apparently, the only reason seems to be financial. Aeroplanes cost money, and as yet, most of them are used for experimental or sporting purposes. Negroes with money evidently are unwilling to risk it in aeroplanes. Only two Negroes—the late Miss Bessie Coleman and Lieutenant Jullian—have been successful in getting planes in which they could fly. Whatever the reason is, the fact remains that the Negro is yet to win his laurels in the air. er, seethed beneath their smiling countenances. Several striking examples of this attitude were noticed by me, but time will permit of the mention of only one at present. Among other interesting facts, I discovered that what is generally known as Highland Beach is in reality two separate and distinct communities, Highland Beach to the north and Venice Beach on the south, separated from each other at the present time by a more or less imaginary line, which some of the residents of Highland Beach, in their zeal to preserve their municipal entity from "contamination" by "dehasing" outside influences, hope to change into a tangible and insurmountable barrier. I was even informed, though probably factitiously, that the righteous and holy Highland Beachers contemplate the enactment of measures similar to our national immigration laws and admit, on a strictly quota basis, only of their neighbors from Venice Beach as have been guilty of no criticism of their "holier than thou" neighbors. I was given to understand that the only connecting street between the two communities, other than the road which skirts both, is soon to be closed so as to render High- ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL EDITOR'S NOTE.—The observations below are written purely in a sense of satire and should be taken as such, but if you see something that you singre with, the column of the Forum are open in which you can say anything you like so long as you confine it to 150 words, and to which you sign your name and address. Your name will not be published if not desired. Washington, the incubator where the laws are hatched that rule the land, is a law abiding city.

WHAT A NEW WASHINGTON IAN THINKS OF WASH- INGTON To be perfectly proper, a new columnist writing a new column on a new paper in a new town should go out of his way, place himself at disadvantages, tell a few untruths if necessary to be polite and say nice things. A column writing fellow should keep his eye peeled and his ears washed in order to pick up things that would be worthy of praise and sing these praises loud and long. To be perfectly proper, he should reserve his fault finding and debunking, as the newspaper men call it, until he is better acquainted. He should become well established in other words. Being gloriously improper, brutally frank and, you will pardon the expression, not giving a great darn about etiquette and the like, your humble servant begins by violating these rules most ruthlessly. Washington, in spite of all politicians gathered from all sections of the country can do to the contrary, is a fairly livable little village. I do not agree with some that its only claim to fame is that it is located close to a large city like Baltimore. Coming Southward on the B. and O., they tell you when you reach Baltimore that you are knocking at Dixie's door, but when you reach Washington you've walked in, sat down and made yourself at home. DO YOU REMEMBER? SEVEN YEARS AGO— When Marshall Ferdnand Foch, Commander in Chief of the Allied Forces, was hooded with a Doctor of Laws degree at How- ard University in 1921? Back in 1922 when J. Finley Wilson was elected Grand Ex- alted Ruler of the Elks for the first time at the Richmond, Va., convention? When Chief Justice McCoy, of the District Supreme Court upheld the agreement of residents of the 1700 block of S street, not to sell to Negroes, but Dr. Emmett J. Scott moved in on April 14, 1923, and Dr. Curtis moved in later? land Beach still more exclusive. These reports so aroused my curiosity that I ventured across the aforesaid imaginery line into the adjoining community in order to see for myself what sort of creatures "obnoxious" Venice Beachers were. Again I found myself among friends and acquaintances. As I was entirely at a loss to understand the alleged keen desire of the latter to invade the sacred precincts on the north, I asked some more questions and found that the Venice Beachers were perfectly satisfied with their present surroundings, and, indeed, seemed too busy beautifying their cottages and improving their surroundings to worry what anybody, much less their neighbors to the north thought. After considering both sides of the question, it seemed to me that the residents of Venice Beach were by far the better situated, both as regards scenic beauty, congenial neighbors, absence of public hostelries with their attendant crowds of transients, and lack of complicated governmental machinery. In fact, it was apparent that the animos shown by the Highland Beachers was stimulated principally by a feeling of jealousy. My friends explained that this was not an unusual condition of affairs in Highland Beach, and attributed the perpetuation of this state of unrest to the active part played in local affairs by several elderly ladies whose chief interest seemed to lie in "keeping the pot a-boiling." Never, in the course of my wanderings through this part of the country, have I ever struck a more striking example of cross-purposes, petty jalousy, and lack of harmony among neighbors, all of whom are acquaintances and some of whom live side by side in Washington during nine months out of each twelve. My purpose in thus writing is not one of unfriendly criticism, but if my letter is instrumental in causing some of the residents of the really delightful little summer suburb to see themselves as others see them, it shall have accomplished its purpose. Sincerely yours, Jno. W. Raymond. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 7. 1928 Washington, the incubator where the laws are hatched that rule the land, is a law abiding city. I hear on good authority that there is a code of honor among bootleggers that keeps them from selling moonshine on the steps of the Capitol and the only people who carry hip flasks into the halls of Congress are bone dry senators from the Bible belt. The skirts of Columbia the Gem of the Ocean are often drenched, but not in water alone. In other cities I have visited. Washington holds quite a reputation for having pretty girls. The veracity of this, I am unable to vouch for because while I have met a few who were no strain on the optics whatever, they admitted after a third degree that they were not born in Washington at all, but hale from the solid South. Much of the solidness is still retained under their boyish bobs, you will learn if you attempt to talk horse sense to them. Much has been said of Washington society, too much in fact for it all to be true. The only difference between society in Washington and society elsewhere is that here we spell it with a capital S and hold it so long that it automatically forms the word sophistication. From rumors that leaked out to other localities I always looked upon Washington as a land infected with sorority houses, clanking fraternity pins, professors who used words too big for mutual enjoyment, prim old matrons with lorgnettes, fat men with Van Dyke beards and all sorts of unapproachable beings. Looking around I find it is all a lot of hooey, make believe, pomp and you just climb on the band wagon and join the big parade. —R. M. SASSAFRAS UDDS EZ — I see where a speaker in Chicago says that the food people eat has a lot to do with their characters. If this is true a lot of folks around Washington have been eating some mighty rotten food. To listen to some folks talk you would think they were raised on applesauce, and furthermore, a lot of people who think they are a five course meal are just a small fry to me. Of course a guy doesn't have to eat all of his meals in a seafood house to be a poor fish any more than a banker has to eat in a bakery to handle the dough. You'll find that a lot of fellows who have a cold storage odor are entirely too fresh, and all the small potatoes and shrimps in this world aren't in the salad. Some folks are as lazy as flapjacks. They won't even turn over by themselves. Love is the desert after a meal of loneliness, but marriage is the acute indigestion that follows. Life itself is just the pantry where fate keeps her preserves and man finds himself in one jam after another. Cucumbers are not the only things that get pickled and you don't have to be a dressed duck to wabble when you walk. Of course you don't have to hang around a hot dog stand to be a big piece of boloney any more than you have to go through a churn to be a hunk of cheese. Associating with some people is like eating onions, you may have a good time while you are at it but you can't go out in decent company for a long time afterwards.

Rose!!" called her six-year-old sister, Betty, "Aunt Mae is going to take us on a picnic to the zoo—don't you want to go?" "No, Betty," answered Rose, "didn't I tell you that I had to write a composition for home work, and I couldn't go? Can't you understand?" "No, Rose, I can't understand why you said you couldn't go when you can and must go," said persistent little Betty. After much persuasion and coaxing by her mother and Betty, Rose decided to go. They took lunches and had a very pleasant time. They went to see the animals. While Betty was asking questions about the animals and watching them, Rose's eyes fell upon a strange sight. An animal which had escaped from its cage was coming toward a small child which had probably gotten away from its parents. Aunt Mae and Betty went on forgetting all about Rose, thus leaving her alone. What must she do? She was only ten years old, and she was afraid. She grabbed the child into her arms and ran as hard as she could. She could not hold out much longer, and the animal was gaining on her. All of a sudden she came to a corner and almost knocked down the child's father, who had been looking for it. He helped the men get the animal into its cage and you may be sure he gave Rose a reward. That evening when Rose went home she received many congratulations and soon went back to her composition. She headed it, "My Trip to the Zoo." On Monday at school she got the best mark in her class because her composition was a true experience, and she greatly benefitted by obeying her mother and going to the picnic to the zoo. 1805 Fourth St. N.W.

Morris, local attorney and editor of the Iowa Bystander, reports an interview he had with Herbert Hoover in which he gave his attitude on the race question, Wednesday. Mr. Morris, who attended the recent Hoover Celebration at West Branch, interviewed Mr. Hoover following the mass meeting. Mr. Morris declared "Hoover stands unequivocably for the enforcement of the entire Constitution of the United States and for equal opportunity for all American citizens." "When asked his views on the so-called 'race question,'" continued Mr. Morris, "Secretary Hoover stated: 'If elected president of the United States, the colored people can depend upon me to see that no backward steps are made in their aspirations to achieve their full share of the opportunities under the American government.'" Mr. Hoover showed unusual interest in the problems faced by colored citizens in the effort to maintain their rights in this section and asked many pointed questions.

While the men failed to divulge the exact steps that would be taken it was intimated that they would reveal their plans to Bascom C. Slemp and other state leaders high in national circles before leaving the city. Those in the party who called at the Tribune office were W. B. Crowell, of Roanoke; Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Py Pollard, of Richmond, Attorney thias of the State; C. Tiffany Tolley, real estate dealer; Lawyer Joseph N. Pollard, of Richmond, Attorney Thomas H. Reid of Portsmouth, and Editor P. B. Young, of Norfolk.

HOUSE CLEANING (Continued from page 1) misconduct, lawlessness and inefficiency are rampant in the depart- fore him now nearly every time a policeman gets into trouble. No Gun Found Lee, who was shot down by Policeman Lester Parks, of the Second precinct, was alleged by the officer to have fired two shots at him and another officer. Inspector Headley indicated he ment. The picture is flashed bewas dissatisfied with several phases of the shooting, particularly of the failure of the officers to find the gun which they say was used by Lee. The shooting, which occurred in an alley paralleling Q street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, came as the climax to a sensational automobile chase through two miles of city streets shortly after midnight. Sav Man Used Brick George Hargrave, 26, 1241A Carrollberg street, southwest, being shot in the right hip by Pvt. Lonnie O. Tompkins, Traffic Bureau, when, according to the officer, the man attempted to hit him with a brick. Lee is said to be in serious condition with a bullet wound in his neck and another in the base of his head. Lacking a full report from the police, Inspector Headley was unable to account for their failure to find Lee's weapons. Tribune Waged Fight The developments in the department are the results for which the Tribune has been waging an incestive fight for the past two months following the too frequent use of weapons on the part of white policemen assigned to colored districts.

Broening, and the Baltimore Association of Commerce inviting the Elks to hold their next session in Baltimore. Isaac H. Nutter nominated Atlantic City. He read letters from the mayor and the director of public safety. Speeches seconding the nominations of these two cities were made by a number of prominent Elks. Those seconding the nomination of Baltimore included W. H. Harrison, of Chicago, former Grand Secretary George E. Bates, of Newark, and Judge Edward W. Henry, of Philadelphia. Those seconding the nomination of Atlantic City included Alderman R. R. Jackson, and Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, Dr. Hudson D. Oliver, of New York and Past Grand Exalted Ruler Armond W. Scott, of Washington. Kansas City Withdrawn Quincy J. Gilmore, who had nominated Kansas City, Mo., withdrew his nomination in favor of Atlantic City. Detroit, Mich., was withdrawn in favor of Baltimore. A standing vote was taken. Those favoring Atlantic City stood on one side of the hall and those favoring Baltimore on the other. Atlantic City apparently had a majority, and Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson declared it to be the next convention city. The Baltimore supporters demanded that the delegates voting for each city be counted, but their demand was refused. Wilson Slashes Payroll On the closing day, last Saturday, the grand lodge approved the usual payroll of delegates who had served on committees. Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson had stricken from it the names of a number of delegates who had not voted as he desired. The position of assistant commissioner of education was created at a salary of $1,000 a year. This assistant is to be a woman. She will be appointed by the grand exalted ruler. Trustees to Draw Pay The grand lodge also voted to pay each of the grand trustees $50 a month. There are five of them. Frank H. Hunter, of St Louis, Mo., one of the founders of the order, and Dr. J. E. Mills, a past-grand exalted ruler who is in failing health, were voted pensions of $50 a month each. The salary of the secretary of the civil liberties commission was fixed at $100 a month. Defeat Sensation The sensation of the grand lodge occurred last Thursday when George E. Bates, grand secretary, and James T. Carter, grand treasurer, were defeated for re-election. Mr. Bates had served as secretary for 17 years. Mr. Carter had been the treasurer for 15 years. James E. Kelley, a postman and exalted ruler of James Valley lodge, No. 14, Birmingham, Ala., was elected to succeed Bates. James C. Martin, a poolroom owner and exalted ruler of Fort Dearborn lodge, No. 44, was chosen to succeed Carter. The defeat of Bates and Carter was a signal victory for Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. Ever since his election in 1922, there has been a continual fight between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bates and Mr. Carter. At this session the plea was made for grand lodge officers who would support the policies and program of the grand exalted ruler. Use Strategy The first move in the strategy to beat Bates and Carter came when George W. Lee on the opening day of the convention moved that the rules be suspended and Mr. Wilson elected to succeed himself by acclamation. Mr. Wilson had just finished the reading of his annual report. The convention had not been organized, the report of the committee on credentials not having been made. To correct any flaw in his election at that time, Mr. Wilson later had the convention to ratify its previous action. Before the convention proceeded with the election of officers Thursday, Bishop W. Sampson Brooks, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, offered a prayer. Hueston Floor Leader The election of the commissioner of education was put ahead of the election of the more important officers. William C. Hueston, the commissioner, had presided at the caucuses which had for their purposes the defeat of Bates and Carter. He was recognized as the Wilson floor leader. Without having made a campaign of any kind, Past Grand Exalted Ruler Scott was nominated by Judge Edward W. Henry against Mr. Hueston. Mr. Scott was given a fine complimentary vote. When he saw that he would be defeated, he withdrew from the race and moved that the election of Mr. Hueston be made unanimous. S THE BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE, newly acquired by W. H. C. Brown, who with Mrs. Brown, has returned to the city after an absence of several years. The home is on Fourth and T streets. THE BEAUTIFUL RESIDENCE, newly acquired by W. H. C. Brown, who with Mrs. Brown, has returned to the city after an absence of several years. The home is on Fourth and T streets. Cites Bates' Record As soon as Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson declared him elected, Mr. Hueston was given the floor and proceeded to nominate J. E. Kelley, of Birmingham, for grand secretary. Past Grand Exalted Ruler McMechen nominated Mr. Bates, asking for the favorable consideration by the grand lodge of his nominee "who has proved faithful, honest and honorable." Brother Against Brother The tense moment came when Mr. Nutter, of Atlantic City, obtained the floor. His brother, T. Gillis Nutter, a past grand exalted ruler, had just seconded the nomination of Mr. Bates. The delegates sensed the dramatic situation. Mr. Nutter paced the platform, differing from his brother, and argued with the delegates as if they were a jury. He asked for the election of Mr. Kelley. Pledges Support When Kelley had been given 350 votes to 215 for Bates, Mr. Bates withdrew his name and asked that the election of Mr. Kelley be made unanimous. He promised his support to the newly-elected secretary. Alderman R. R. Jackson, of Chicago, nominated James C. Martin for grand treasurer. Before permitting Mr. Carter to be nominated, Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson recognized Dr. Hudson D. Oliver of New York, and Mr. Hueston. They seconded the nomination of Mr. Martin. W. F. B. Crowell, of Roanoke, V. W., nominated Mr. Carter. Steam Roller Greased Dr. John Barkus, of Philadelphia, nominated Major R. R. Wright. Major Wright declined. He said that the "steam roller" of the grand exalted ruler was too well greased. Mr. Carter withdrew after the balloting had begun. Mr. Martin was leading by a large majority. Dr. S. H. George, of Padukah, Ky., was re-elected grand esteemed leading knight. Joseph James, of Jacksonville, Fla., grand esteemed loyal knight, was also re-elected. Andrew T. Mitchell, of New York, was elected grand lecturing knight to succeed Dr. Roland E. Johnson, of Brooklyn, who was not a candidate for re-election. Church Appointed R. E. Pharrow, of Atlanta, 'as re-elected grand trustee. He defeated Duncan Scott, of Savannah, Ga.; R. R. Church, of Memphis, Railroad Man Was in Misery "I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I am 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine."

Howard, grand legal adviser, who is under indictment in Mississippi, for alleged irregularities in the handling of Federal patronage as the Republican national committeeman of his state, was adopted by the grand lodge.

Mencken, muchly quoted editor of the American Mercury, writing in the Baltimore Sun has the following to say about Herbert Hoover and his miscellaneous following. He writes: "As I long ago argued, Hoover is one of the most adept politicians ever heard of in America. He has a natural instinct for the low, disingenuous, fradulent manipulations that constitute the art and mystery of politics under democracy. He knows precisely how to posture as a Good Man without doing anything to justify the name. He has a strong nose, and can stand stenches without blenching. He is immensely liberal with other people's money. His so-called ideas are the safe, sonorous, meanningless platitudes of an editorial writer on a bad newspaper. He would have made a good bishop. No wonder he is admired by the sort of men who believed that the late Judge Elbert H. Gary was a great man! "But in all this virtue there is no corruption of innocence: His pre-convention campaign was a model of realism. The while he kept his show going with empty, high-faluting balderdash about Mississippi flood relief and other such moral and harmless subjects, he was gradually gathering into his corral all the worst political rogues in America. If any escaped him, no news of it has got out. The tattered veterans of the Ohio Gang came in to a man. The sturdy bravos of the Vare Gang followed, hay-foot, straw-foot. On their heels were the political parsons and shady lawyers of the Anti-Saloon League. And the fat black boys from the South, their hands out, disgracing their race. And all the miscellaneous rabble of Ku Kluxers, rum-runners, vote-buyers and jury-fixers. He welcomed them all, and they are all on his pay roll today." ICE!

Mattingly in respect to the memory of James M. Licks, prominent local attorney, who succumbed at his home, on Thursday. Attorney Ricks was the oldest practicing lawyer in the District of Columbia, having attained the age of 82 when stricken with pneumonia. Upon learning of the attorney's death, Judge Mattingly paid him a high tribute. "I have known Mr. Ricks for more than thirty years, and I have never known him to do an unprofessional or an unkind act. He was of high standing in his profession and a credit to the community. His record, up from slavery, for he was born a slave, to a respected Washington lawyer, should stand as an inspiration to youths of his race."

R. W. Brooks told the members of the Lincoln Congregational Church, Sunday morning, at the Lincoln Theatre. "The Christian who goes through life taking no part in the affairs of the world, intent upon nothing but saving his own soul, is a selfish mortal," he declared. "It is the task of Christianity to take a hand in politics, the social and economic life of the people and help to eradicate the wrongs that exist. Heaven is Here Taking his subject from the text, "I will give unto the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven," the pastor declared that what Paradise will be determined by the life of the individual here on earth. The speaker declared that he had no faith in the person who is merely good so as to escape the terrors of hell, or to enjoy the rewards in heaven, because that person may be as bad at heart as the person who does not break the law simply because he fears the prison and not because of righteousness. Just Passing Through Some people, the pastor, said, are just passing through the world on their way to glory and are not doing one thing to make the world a better place to live in. Christianity should play a part in politics, he said, to help wipe out the imperialism of America that leads her to take advantage of smaller nations, wipe out peonage, strife, poverty, and ignorance. It makes no difference who is elected in November, he said, unless the spirit of Jesus Christ is in the heart and governs the actions of the administrators. Twenty-five Local Ministers Participate in Two-Day Festivities Impressive services marked the installation of the Rev. E. C. Smith, formerly of Richmond, Va., as pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, to succeed the late Rev. W. D. Norman, Sunday. Special services were held both morning and night with the Rev. S. G.

Loving offered the invocation The Reverends F. W. Dixon and J. P. Nichols also took part on the program which was followed by a sermon by the new pastor. Rev. Randolph Heard At the night services the installation sermon was delivered by the Rev. J. Harvey Randolph, who was assisted by the Reverends W. D. Jarvis, Sylvester Walker, D. Washington, J. A. Carter, L. E. Kiser, and R. Rembert. The choir rendered special music at both services.

Brooks, who thinks Christianity has a place in the political life of the nation. BAPTIST HOSTS AT SHREVEPORT MEET SHREVEPORT, La., Coliseum Fair Grounds, Sept. 5.—Ministers and laymen, men and women from forty-eight states and State Conventions, took part in the opening of the 49th annual session of the National Baptist Convention of America, which convened in this city today.

The Convention will carry on for five days, during which time every phase of denominational work will be reported through the several Boards to whom has been committed the work of the Convention interim. A very elaborate program arranged by the Executive Committee had set forth the work of this, the largest distinctively denominational gatherings of this racial group in the world. City Dressed Up The city of Shreveport is in gala attire, but it doesn't savour of the spectacular. Special trains began to arrive at Shreveport, Tuesday morning, and almost every hour from that time on they continued to arrive. There will be three sessions every day, morning, afternoon and evening, for both the men and women. The place of the Woman's Convention is the Galilee Baptist Church. It is presided over by Mrs. G. M. Davidson, of Chicago, Illinois, and they have their fixed program that is being adhered to religiously throughout the week.

Zion Church, Laments Change Coast Brings in Southern Workmen By Rean Graves The freedom of California and the west coast robs the southern immigrant of his religion. Bishop J. W. Martin, of the Pacific Coast, Michigan and Mississippi A.M.E. Zion Conferences declared upon his arrival in the city, Saturday. Bishop Martin was the guest of the Bishop E. D. W. Jones of this city, following the sessions of the Bishops' Council which met in Greensboro, N.C., last week. "When you meet a man making his first trip out West," declared the Bishop, "he has the fear of God in his heart because in the cotton belt the church is the centre of his social and religious life, but after he enjoys the privileges of the West he forgets the church and becomes an agnostic." Population Grews In the last five years, Bishop Martin said, the colored population has grown to approximately 60,000. In one town, Merced, Cal., there were but 74 Negroes five years ago, now there are 500 or more. MORE SCHOOLS (Continued from page 1) abandoned for the new McKinle High school (white). The old McKinle school building has a present valuation of $1,000,000. J.G. Tegan will be the principal of the Shaw Junior High School. He was formerly a teacher there. The Cardozo High School will be opened in the old Shaw Junior High School building. The Car This increase is attributed to the introduction of cotton raising into the state. The crops were unsuccessful when Mexicans were employed in the fields and the planters began to import Negroes from the southern plantations. It is now becoming a leading industry due to the fact that the bell weevil has not yet invaded that section since all precautions are taken to keep them out. Orientalis Democratic Bishop Martin expressed pleasure in the attitude displayed toward our group by both the Japanese and Chinese. In many shops, he declared, Japanese will serve colored patrons in preference to whites. The Oriental influence is felt keenly in the religious life of the country as numerous sects exist. People worship anything from a man to a cat, he said. One Negro by the name of Shields set himself up as God and before his death had a large following. Next to himself he placed Frederick Douglass as a patron saint. Bishop Martin will return to the coast next week. BISHOPS' COUNCIL (Continued from page 1) ence which was said to be unprecedent in the history of the conference. Bishop Kyles explained this move by saying that heretofore the committee had taken so long to publish the minutes that the interest in them was lost. If there were any omissions, Bishop Kyles said that they were not committed maliciously but had occurred in his haste to complete the minutes. Report Adopted The report of the bishop was adopted after a heated discussion. There was a divided vote on the adoption. Although many glaring inaccuracies were pointed out and many important items were said to have been omitted there was no motion entertained to issue a supplement to the minutes.

"Truth requires no name for its support—it substantially supports itself—but falsehood and error always require the authority of names to maintain them in society, and to give them ready currency with those who never reflect or think for themselves."—Robert Owen. The following letter written to the editor of the Amsterdam News over the simple signature, E. R. T., would, under ordinary circumstances, go unnoticed, but the charge made is such a gross misrepresentation, that to let it go unchallenged might tend to fan a smouldering heap. To the Editor of The Amsterdam News. Dear Sir: Just a few words mentioning our young Negro athletes in the New York High Schools. In my days as a school boy, such athletes as Dave Meyers of Stuyvesant, Charles Major and "Babe" "Cooke, of Clinton, and many others received no publicity whatsoever in Negro papers. In these days I really think our high school athletes should be receiving numerous write-ups. I particularly noticed two lads this last year, namely, Jack Livingston and Walter Wright, of Textile High School, both basketball champions. These boys led that institution to a place never attained before in basketball. I saw numerous clipings, pictures, etc., about them in many white dailies, but none whatsoever in the Negro weeklies. Yours for better understanding of our younger athletes, New York E.R.T. Aug. 24, 1928. The author of this column, who incidentally acts in the capacity of Secretary-Treasurer of the Eastern Sports Writers' Association, has no fear whatever that E. R. T. letter itself will receive more than a sidelong glance from the average reader. The average reader—we are requesting the privilege of referring to him as such—is not, as perhaps E. R. T. believes, the type which depends on someone else for his thinking and the expression of his thoughts. He is one who can read and having read, can form his own opinion. Had E. R. T. been appealing to this type in his "lone wolf" attack on Negro weeklies, it would have been unnecessary for him to have signed a name. But inasmuch as he can hardly hope to muster many of the average readers, E. R. T. must, of necessity, seek the support of those "who never reflect or think for themselves." E. R. T. is apparently shy lest the opinion he gives he criticized too severely by the public. He appears to fear that his rendition might strike a discord and cause laughter and rebuke. And in this fear, he hides himself behind the privilege of signing no name than his initials. But now to the letter itself. The writer of this column, by reason or his connection with this paper as sports-editor, as well as by reason of his membership in the Eastern Sports Writers' Association, is forced to watch the sports exchanges and articles written by his colleagues in other papers. It is for these reasons that the writer reads, with no little concern the letter written by E. R. T. Negro weeklies, not only in the East, but the country over, have written story after story on the achievements of our own athletes. Where the lads are of high school age, most of the publicity has come through the local paper, but the college athlete has had nationwide publicity. His praise whenever he was worthy of it has been loudly sung and widely. The names of all four of the individuals mentioned by E. R. T. have on numerous occasions been heralded by New York weekly papers as coming stars in the Negro athletic firmament. Majors, however, has earned more of this publicity than the others, due largely to the fact that his achievements in the track world have been greater than have been the others in their respective fields of endeavor. The letter of E. R. T. strikes this writer as a perfect example of the type of critic described in an article appearing some months ago in the American Mercury. Eugene Gordon, the author of that article, showed how hard it was for a public, made up of E. R. T.'s type, to recognize the talent of Charles Gilpin and Roland Hayes. Despite the fact that Romeo Dougherty, of the Amsterdam News, at whom E. R. T.'s challenge seems to have been directed, had long sung the praise of Gilpin, the writer said that great artist went on unnoticed until white news writers and white critics labelled him as a "find." Then it was that the E. R. T.'s of that day and time took notice of the star of "Emperor Jones." Lester Walton, another Negro, press-agented Roland Hayes to absolutely no avail, until more white writers and white critics took cognizance of the great singer's talent. But back to E. R. T. and his pet subject—"Negro newspapers and their neglect of Negro athletes." We are only too sorry that there be more readers who, like E. R. T., read—but do not read, who see but do not see, and last—who think but do not think. Now won't it be the funniest thing when big Bob Miller—over whom all the trouble between Howard and the C.I.A.A. started—takes over the duties as assistant coach on the "hill," and then the H. U. Alumni Association succeeds in effecting a compromise between the two, and then Miller will begin teaching young Bisons how to live up to the rules of the association? Well, I guess we've all read about Jack Thompson, America's newest and most sensational Black Menace. I guess we all already know how he pounced on Joe Dundee, world's welterweight champion, out in Chi last week and whipped him as long as he stayed on his feet (which at that wasn't much, 'cause Dundee spent most of the time on his back). Well, anyway, Thompson so impressed newspaper men, boxing authorities and ring critics that he is today hailed as the nearest approach to the world famous Joe Gans ever to have donned a pair of boxing mitts. White writers the nation over sang his praise and pointed to Thompson as the real welterweight king, cheated out of the title because of a meagre technicality. Dundee simply played the role of other champions who gradually come to the realization that the stormy pedestal on which he rests is slowly but surely being pushed from under him. The white welterweight headlight did not mean to take any chance when he entered the ring with this barely known colored boy from the coast. He sought protection by hiding behind that privilege which is given champions allowing them to demand that opponents enter the ring overweight. When this demand is made, the opponent if he wants the fight, must accept the terms—or else. Of course there are few who would choose to "else." The weight limit for welters is 147 pounds. Dundee made this weight last Thursday night, but he demanded that Thompson, whose best fighting weight is around 142 or 143 pounds, tip the beams at 148½. In this demand he was assured that win or lose he would not relinquish his title. While the rules of boxing are such that Dundee can continue to rule his class, despite the ignominious defeat he suffered at the hands of Thompson, the laws of human nature, of which the pugilistic racket is filled, accept the best fighter as the real champion. Dundee, in a statement to a reporter of one of his home town papers, declares that Thompson really licked him. "That colored boy from the Coast poisoned me with a righthand punch to the chin. I got up, but couldn't withstand the storm of blows, and when I sank for the second time my mind was a blank. They tell me I struggled up again, but I don't remember it. I didn't realize the referee had stopped the fight until I had returned to my corner. The only grain of comfort for me was that I was on my feet. I will never rest until I get Thompson in the ring again." "I have signed a contract with Rickard to fight before his club, but the bout must be with the colored boy who poisoned me with that right-hand punch in Chicago. He beat me fairly and squarely and I have no alibi to offer. I didn't realize his class until too late. "But I feel that I can beat him and I can hardly wait until the day when we crawl into the ring again." Now listen, folks, and listen good before you go head over heels rejoicing over the belief that Thompson will be the next to meet Dundee and (because of his overwhelming victory last week) will consequently be the next welter champ. All of that talk of Dundee to his home town reporter looks good and listens better, but to the observant reader just seven little words have killed him with us.

Hence, having protected his crown by the weight technicality in his past fight he further insures himself against the loss of it by an announcement that he must fight for Tex Rickard—a sworn hater of the Negro pugilist. Entries in the Francis Municipal Swimming Meet took on a decided boost with the huge attendance over the past week-end and holiday. W. Montague Cobb, manager of the pool, announced, Tuesday. The number of intended participants had already far exceeded his expectations. Several club teams from local organizations have entered representative combinations in addition to the large array of individual entrants. Outstanding among these are the Community and Howard clubs. Two, possibly three other organizations are in the making. While the complete make-up of these teams has not been made public, it is understood that there will be more Capital water clubs represented. Two club teams from Baltimore, the Neptune and the Aquatic Clubs have already been listed for competition, and severa 1 swimmers from the Monumental City have been working out in the Francis' tank. Three Classes The program of events will be divided into three classes; one class for men, another for women, and the third for boys under 14 years of age. A series of dash and endurance swims, and fancy diving will make up the regular program. As added features there will be a tandem race for women, a tug-of-war and a watermelon race. The life-guards are listed for diving and life-saving exhibitions. Cups and medals will be awarded. A team trophy has also been promised.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1928 Washington Tribune BLACK SOX TAKE FOUR GAMES IN TWO DAYS Sheffield's Washington Black Sox added four victories to their long list for the 1928 season in two days, early this week. On Sunday they defeated the Sandy Spring nine 9-1 and 5-4 and then on Monday took the Tribune League All-Stars into camp 11-0 and 3-2. Bill Grant did the hurling in the first game against the Sandy Spring outfit, while Bland and Nickens divided the mound duties in the second encounter. Against the All-Stars, Monday, Nickens breezed through to an easy win in the opening game. His lightning fast ball and deceptive change of pace kept the Tribune Leaguers guessing. Bland took over the slabbing duties in the Labor Day nightcap and though he pitched masterful ball was in danger all the way. Fred Slade working for the All-Stars also showed a nifty brand of serving 'em up. Two telling hits proved to be the undoing of the portside, however. Clay Smith met one on the nose in the Sox fourth inning and the ball sailed over the right centerfield fence to score. Monroe ahead of him. Bill Grant, the Sox slugging right fielder, broke up the game by banging one against the fence where Smith's ball had cleared, to score Fauntroy with the winning run.** SUNDAY (FIRST GAME) Sandy Spr. ab. h.

(Special).—Beltran D. Barker, prominent local tire dealer, and one of Washington's leading Negro golfers went down to defeat in the finals of the Third Annual Amateur Championship Golf Tournament, held on the Mapledale Course, last Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Barker lost to Frank Gaskin, of Philadelphia, by a score of 4 down and 3 to play. The professional cash prize went to Porter Washington, of the Mapledale Club, who took the honors from Robert P. Ball, 1927 Open Champion. Washington's familiarity with his home course was the margin of victory in his victory over the Chicago star. The tourney was the largest and most well attended in the 3 years of its conduct. By Jimmie Smith BROOKLYN, N.Y., Aug. 9 — Thanks to Signor Fugazy's efforts to give our boxers a "break," three of them, Tiger Jack Payne, Baby Joe Gans and Wilson Yarbo were participants in three of the four ten-round matches this evening at Ebbets Field. When the smoke of battle had clered away the colored boxers had scored one victory against two defeats. Baby Joe Gans of California won beyond a doubt when he knocked out Harry Felix, the East Sider, in the ninth round. Wilson Yarbo, a Cleveland middleweight, lost beyond a doubt on points to Willie Feldman. Tiger Jack Payne, of Leo Flynn's stable, boxing as a light heavy, lost on a foul to Paul Swiderski in the seventh round of the main event. There will always be a doubt in my mind and in the minds of many of the spectators, who numbered about five thousand, that Payne committed a foul. The blow, as we saw it, was a right to the body along the edge of the Pole's trunks and very much to the short ribs. We believe that Swiderski was knocked out cleanly. Tiger Payne had won from the very minute that he dropped his gaudy black robe decorated with a huge tiger and started a two-fisted assault on Swiderski's body in the first round until the referee announced the judges' decision in the seventh round. Payne, using only his left after the first round, had his opponent looking for a soft spot as early as the third round. He could not use his right effectively, as Swiderski did know enough to keep his long left out in front of him and he had the reach on Tiger by many inches. When the Tiger did shoot his right it knocked the Syracuse heavy-weight out, but the judges said foul. VIRGINIA SCHOOL WOULD PLACE BAN ON SCOUTING PRACTICE PETERSBURG, Va.—Through Athletic Director Harold D. Martin, the Virginia Normal and Industrial School, announced this week that it is in favor of abolishing the practice of scouting opposing football teams. The school is the first Negro institution in the country to go on record as opposing this manner of becoming acquainted with the style of attack and defense employed by their prospective opponents. While the school is not the only institution that maintains The classic of the evening was the Gans-Felix event, which went on just before Tiger Payne's losing stand. Harry Felix is considered one of the cleverest junior heavyweights in the East and the best expected of Gans was for him to win the decision. The boys started evenly and gave a very clever exhibition of boxing for four rounds, with Gans having the edge because of his landing the heavier, cleaner blows and excelling at in-fighting. The fifth round, however, began to tell which way the wind was blowing when Felix began to weaken from Gans' left hooks to the head and straight rights to the body and jaw. Gans gave Felix a good heating in this round and repeated the same dose in the sixth. Gans' old lucky round, the seventh, brought about the almost complete undoing of Felix, when Gans floored the easterner with a snappy left hook to the jaw. The New Yorker took the count of nine and weathered out the round when the Californian almost fought his own self off his feet trying for a knockout with a hay-maker. In the eighth Gans took up his work more calmly and carefully and near the end of the round Felix was down again from another nine count and, regaining his feet, was just being measured by Gans when the bell rang. It was suicide to send Felix out for the ninth. Gans soon feinted him into an opening and shot in a one-two left and right to the dazed white boxers' jaw and he fell flat on his back and dead to the world. His seconds carried him to his corner, and it was not necessary for the referee to count. Felix weighed in at 142 pounds and Gans at 189%. Both boys received good hands when they left the ring. In the first ten-rounder Wilson Yarbo never seemed to get started. He shuffled around the ring with his right cocked, but never pulled the trigger. In the meantime Willie Feldman was piling up an unbeatable number of points, jabbing Yarbo on the beazer with a light left. Yarbo did show some action in the last two rounds, but it was too late. Both weighed in as middleweights. — Amsterdam News. Gans Knocks Out Felix Felix on the Floor VIRGINIA SCHOOL WOULD PLACE BAN ON SCOUTING PRACTICE PETERSBURG, Va.—Through Athletic Director Harold D. Martin, the Virginia Normal and Industrial School, announced this week that it is in favor of abolishing the practice of scouting opposing football teams. The school is the first Negro institution in the country to go on record as opposing this manner of becoming acquainted with the style of attack and defense employed by their prospective opponents. While the practice has, for sometime, been a part of the fall program of some white colleges, it is a new thing to race institutions. Coach Martin returned last week from a coaching school at Superior, Wisconsin. Immediately he made it known to V.N.I.I. authorities that he did not like the scouting idea. Their stamp of approval was immediately put on his announcement and letters were forthwith sent to various Negro colleges and newspapers encouraging abolition of the practice.

Scriver pitched the first game on Sunday, setting the Giants down with one hit and no runs, and whifing 13. Holmes, the Oriental's recently signed kid pitcher, had things his way in the six innings night cap, allowing three hits and one run, while his mates were running wild at bat to win, 14 to 1. Manager MacAdams, the old master, toed the slab in the first game, Monday, against the Royals and gave another fine pitching exhibition. Adams was in trouble once in the sixth, but emerged with flying colors, much to the satisfaction of the large following of Washington fans on hand. Red Powell, Oriental speed ball artist, sported his wares in the second game, which was five innings by agreement, and gave a good account of himself, allowing two hits and no runs, while the champions were gathering 9 hits for 6 runs. These four wins brought the Oriental's streak to seven straight. Orientalts.....1 0 2 3 0-0 Royals.....0 0 0 0 0-0 Struck out—by Powell, 4; by Robertson, 1. Three-base hit—Hicks.

MAGIC SEVEN Training for the 1928 football season at Howard University is slated to begin Saturday, September 15, according to letters sent out by Dr. Charles West, newly appointed coach at the Bison institution. The announcement came as a surprise, in view of the speculation on the part of many who believed that early practice would be discontinued since the abolition of the football training table and quarters. A statement, however, coming from the department of physical education branded the belief and subsequent rumors as false. Early training is vital, the statement said, due to the fact that the opening game of the 1928 season is booked for October 6, at Livingstone College. Rumor, going the rounds, early this week that Bob "Tubby" Miller, former star guard and tackle on the Blue and White eleven, would be one of the new assistant coaches this year, had been unconfirmed up to a late hour, Thursday. Miller left for his home in Arkansas late last week with the statement that he would return shortly. Dr. West, at the time of his acceptance, asked that the Howard University officials allow him time to think before he recommended any assistants. In the event that the former W. & J. star athlete secures Miller, the latter will wind up a colorful gridiron career in the capacity of a coach. Miller went to Howard in 1924, after starring on the gridiron at Virginia Union. Miller played three years at guard on the Blue and White eleven, and then in 1927 in the absence of capable tackle material, filled in at that post. Several veterans of the Bison eleven are already on hand for the early training. Chief among these are Jack Coles and Jack Young, stellar backs. Coles returned to the city, Saturday. Young has been here all summer working as a playground instructor at the Howard playground. Pete Tyson, star end on the 1927 combination, will most likely be out of the running for a berth this year. Tyson broke an ankle while diving into the Francis Swimming Pool, where he has been employed since the opening of that plant. The loss of Tyson will be felt greatly as the Blue and White eleven of 1927 was sadly in need of material for the end position. With the incapacitation of Tyson, the best of last season's lett, Howard will be handicapped on its flanks. Wanted—Eastern League Baseball For up to the minute sport comment, read The Tribune.

The city fathers are hypocritical, however, because ‘while the dime movie is closed to tie laboring masses who only have Sunday to rest up and enjoy themselves, the golf links are open to the leisure classs who have every day in the week to loaf. The men can find a little’ relief by visiting the ball parks wHich are permitted to operate; but the women and children must content themselves with Sunday school and preaching. ‘There is little wonder that in these cities liquor parties, razor battles and kindred evils rage and desecrate the day of rest more’ than the basest of movies could do.
