Slander Suit is Won by Aged A.M.E. Bishop TEACHER'S HEIRS SUED THREE "SWEETIES" NAMED WASHINGTON GIRL IS HAMPTON TEACHER UNDER the Dome of the CAPITOL The Prince of Wales appeared on a golf course in Mombasa, British East Africa, wearing two hats and a pink shirt. Africans immediately adopted the fad of the Prince. Negroes in Africa and Negroes in America are quick to immitate the white man in everything he does of no consequence. The vital things such as business, industry, manufacturing and high finance they leave rigidly alone. Negroes fall for pink shirts. Along this same line the Kansas City Call says, "White folks send their sons to college where they get drunk and raise h'll, so do the Negroes. "White folks go to Europe on pleasure trips, so do Negroes. White folks have divorce scandals and wild parties, so do Negroes. But here the similarity ends." The things enumerated above are pink shirts. By simply moving the home offices of the Southern Railway from Washington to Atlanta, Ga., 1,100 clerks and other office employees representing approximately as many families were uprooted from their homes and transplanted in the South. For ten years Marcus Garvey talked about a back to Africa movement without success. The employees of the Southern Railroad went without a murmur because Atlanta offered constant employment and a livelihood. Mr. Garvey had nothing to offer in Africa, to make it inviting. Mr. Garvey appearing in London, England last week, declared that the Negro's place is in Africa, not America. The gentleman from Jamaica is too idealistic. The Negro's place, like that of any other man, is where he can make an honest living and enjoy some degree of happiness. The American Negro would be most uncomfortably out of place in Africa. Several white and colored ministers spoke on a program at Shiloh Baptist Church, Sunday. This was lauded as a step forward in solving the race problem. It positively was not. The race problem will never be solved by white ministers talking about racial good will to colored audiences, but by white ministers talking about racial good will to white audiences, and doing it constantly and fearlessly. The Negro is the recipient of race hatred, not the donor. The Commerce Department states that there were in the United States in 1926, 213 religious bodies with 231,983 organizations and 54,624,976 members, as compared with 200 denominations reporting 226,718 organizations and 41,926,854 members in 1916. With 54,624,976 people engaged in the service of the Lord in America there ought to be a lot more goodness being scattered around. Evidently somebody is loafing on the job. Heaven should hire an efficiency expert and fire half of its employees. Apparently the output of righteousness is too small to maintain such a large force. POSTPONE UNION BANK HEARING The suit brought by depositors against trustees and shareholders of the defunct Union Laborers Savings Bank was continued Wednesday by Justice Peyton Gordon in equity court No. 2 for thirty days on account of the illness of William H. H. Hart, leading defense counsel. Mr. Hart was taken suddenly ill last Friday and is in Freedmen's Hospital. The question that will be presented when the case is heard is whether the sum of $44,156.85 is to be collected from the defendant trustees and shareholders. This sum was fixed as the amount of liabilities in an auditor's report which was ratified by the court September 27. NEGROES FORCED TO WORK IN FLORIDA WEST PALM BEACH (C.N.S.)—A repetition of the crimes against Negro refugees which featured the Red Cross activity in the Mississippi flood is expected in the Florida devastated district following a call for the military on the part of Red Cross and state officials. The excuse offered for this action is an alleged rioting of Negro refugees in the devastated towns. The troops are intended to terrorize the starving Negro workers and to enlist them for free labor in the work of rebuilding up the destroyed towns. 5 IN WASHINGTON nearly everybody reads the TRIBUNE WASHINGTON GIRL IS HAMPTON TEACHER WASHINGTON'S LOSS WAS HAMPTON'S GAIN when Miss Mary J.

The child was rushed to Children's Hospital by his mother, Mrs. Mabel Holloway, and treated by Dr. Hyman Marshall. He was later taken home.

BISHOP VINDICATED IN LIBEL Editor of "New Era" Fails to Prove Charges of Moral Turpitude Against Prelate RAPPED BY COURT (Special to The WASHINGTON TRIBUNE) PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.—In one of the most scathing denunciations ever heard in a court of Quarter Sessions in this city, Judge James Gay Gordon, Jr., admonished Charles V. Monk, unfrocked clergyman of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, not to "open your evil mouth against anybody in the future" at the conclusion of a speedy trial during which the aged prelate, Bishop William H. Heard, formerly of this area, but recently transferred to the Ohio area, was "vindicated to the hilt" of all charges dropped on his ecclesiastical doorstep by Monk, the editor of the New Era, a denominational publication published at 8719 Laycock avenue, Elmwood, Pa. The libellous articles were published within the period between January, 1926, and March, 1927. Most of them accused the prelate of misappropriation of church monies, while a few frankly charged the clergyman with moral turpitude. Monk, who lives at 1004 Summit avenue, Darby, has been tried for publication of libellous articles before this case, and in one case he was sentenced to serve six months. Bishop Heard has been a bishop for twenty-one years in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Monk was given a suspended sentence when he declared that He had learned his lesson. MAN, 60, FOUND ON STREET VICTIM OF HEART TROUBLE William H. Lewis, 60, 4718 Clay street, northeast, was conveyed to the Number 6 police precinct by Benny Reynolds, 1207 Harvard street, northwest, when the former was found on the street in an unconscious condition. He was removed to the Freedmen's Hospital, where he was said to be suffering from an attack of the heart. He remained at the institution. Campaign Dope A BISHOP EXPRESSES HIS VIEWS AKRON, O.—The Rt. Rev. George C. Clement, one of the most influential Bishops of the A.M.E. Zion Church, in giving his reasons for supporting Alfred E. Smith for President says: "First, I regard him as the ablest executive now in American public life, honest, fair and magnetic; second, I believe in religious tolerance, oppose bigotry whether creed or race; third, although favoring prohibition, I am convinced that Gov. Smith could not be more favorable to liquor interests than the present administration has proven; fourth, the time is here when the Negro must divide his vote or else hazard his citizenship; fifth, Hefin and the Ku Klux Klan leaves me no other choice." This communication was addressed to the Rt. Reverdy C. Ransom, Bishop of the A.M.E. Church, who is chairman of the Speakers' Committee of the Smith-for-President Colored League. IRA T. BRYANT IS OUT FOR SMITH NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A.M.E. Sunday School Union is out for Al Smith. He declares the Negro should accept the late president Harding's advice to "put a little something on both horses, so that he can sit pretty no matter who wins. Rev. W. F. Graham, pastor of Holy Trinity Baptist Church, declared last Sunday morning that he would die and go to hell before he would vote for "Al" Smith. "I will not vote for whiskey," he declared. "H. U.

Hall, 1015 Kenyon street, northwest, insurance agent sheik, were named in a suit for partial divorce filed by Mrs. Rosa Hall through the law offices of Armond W. Scott, in the Supreme Courf, Wednesday. The couple were married in March, 1920, and the husband was abusive from the start, she declares, and openly admitted that he had not severed his relations with Eleanor Nickens, 1221 Carrollburg street, a bachelorhood sweetheart. He also admitted the parentage of a child born to the young woman. Howard Student Mrs. Hall also relates how her husband was on familiar terms with a Howard University student who roomed with her. The young woman had a habit of walking about the house in her night gown. When she attempted to put her out of the house the husband interfered and she remained throughout the school session. She came thinly clad into her husband's bedroom, the wife declares. Ola Gilmore, another roomer in the home, was also named as one of the husband's paramours. STAY OF FORECLOSURE SAVES MASONIC HALL A last minute reprieve in the form of a stay of foreclosure, again saved the Masonic Temple from being lost to the local Grand Lodge when the Lola Construction Company, through Martin J. McNamara, attorney, relented Thursday, and extended the time for payment of the financial obligations which are long overdue. That no immediate settlement of the muddled affairs of the Masons is in sight was intimated by W. L. Houston, attorney for the Masonic Hall Corporation, who stated that his clients had no intention of turning over the money in their hands to Grand Master Ford to aid in the completion of the building. JACK JOHNSON ON POLITICAL FENCE "I haven't decided who I want for president yet," Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion of the world, declared when interviewed concerning reports that he would go on the stump for "Al" Smith, here this week. "I think Smith is a good man, but I'd take my politics like I take my fights," said the ex-champ, "I have to watch the men in their training camps for a long time before I decide which is the best." "Some day" said Jack, "the colored people of America will awake to find that I have always had the best interests of the race at heart." At Press Club Johnson with Jack Wiggins, costarring with him at the Howard Theatre here were presented to the Capitol City Press Club at a luncheon Tuesday by Earl W. Howard, publicity manager of the local Lichtman theatres.

DEPRIEST IS INDICTED IN CHICAGO Formal Charges Returned in 3,000-Word Report Against Congressional Aspirant CHICAGO, Ill. — Investigations started here in August ended this week in the formal-indictment of Oscar DePriest, candidate to Congress from the Third District, and Dan Jackson, in connection with the million-dollar graft scandal. DePriest and Jackson, both members of Gov. Small's state commerce commission, and Lieut. Brady are accused of "siding, abetting and inducing" south side racketeers to operate gambling dives and disorderly houses "to protect them from the police." 3,000-Word Report A 3,000-word report, dealing mainly with the pay roll situation in Corporation Counsel Samuel A.

Montgomery's Connection with Failure of Capital City Bank Results in $2,880 Suit TRIED COMPROMISE A ghost buried for 28 years in the closet of the late Dr. Winfield Scott Montgomery, who succumbed here several weeks ago, arose this week in the form of a judgment for $2,280 against his heirs in connection with his part in the failure of the Old Capital City Bank in 1904. A writ renewing the judgment for another twelve years was filed by the law firm of Lamarr and Thompson on behalf of Mrs. Edna Burrell Douglass, of New Orleans. Mrs. Douglass is the niece and heir of the late Charles F. Murray, a depositor, who lost that amount when the bank failed here. Offered Compromise According to a statement made by Attorney William H. Richards, who obtained the original judgment against Dr. Montgomery 28 years ago, a compromise was offered in 1916 in which the judgment would have been stricken up upon payment of $500. This Dr. Montgomery refused to do. The Capital City Bank was started by Dr. Montgomery, his brother, Henry Montgomery, James F. Bradford, Milton Holland, Dr. John I. Francis and Mr. and Mrs. Jerome Johnson and four others. The bank went to the wall and depositors sued the organizers separately. All of which went into voluntary bankrupty. The late Judge Robert F. Terrell, attorney for the bank, was also sued as were many others during the past 28 years. Heirs Named The writ is directed against Mrs. (Continued on Page 4) Charging his wife with having lived with the correspondent, James Curtis Strickland, 1920 Fifteenth street, northwest, & bellman, asked the District Supreme Court, last Monday, to grant him an absolute divorce from Mrs. Vers L.

While her husband was working at night, she permitted Shaw to call to see her and on various occasions went out with him and stayed until late at night or early in the morning, Mr. Strickland alleges. The couple were married May 22, 1923. They separated April 15, 1925. Attorney Ernest C. Dickson represents Mr. Strickland. VENA AT HEADQUARTERS Clarence R.

Reid, proprietor of Reid's Corner, located at Eleventh and U streets, northwest, celebrated the sixth anniversary of his business. Starting out with a belief that a well conducted music store on U street, would succeed, and with the handicap of capital, Mr. Reid pioneered in a field that few Negroes have ever entered. Although one of the most musical races in the world, the Negro has not taken advantage of the opportunities to cater commercially to his own musical needs. Although Handy is the father of the blues, and therefore, the stepfather of the present jazz, Paul Whiteman and others have reaped the harvest from Mr. Handy's creation. Hundreds of Negro composers have contributed their share to the popular tunes of the day, but few have ever realized any substantial reward for their efforts. While contributing in a large measure to the theme, ideas, and in many cases, the tunes of the present jazz hits, the Negro in return has received little or no emolument. Just as this has been true in the producing field, so has it been true in the merchandising field of music and musical instruments. Thousands of song hits, music rolls and records are purchased every year by Negroes, but less than one-half of one per cent of the money thus spent goes into the coffers of Negro music merchants. Mr. Reid, with a pioneering spirit and with confidence in himself, launched out six years ago to see whether he could capture some of this trade. His appeal for business was not because he was a Negro merchant, but he asked for the patronage of all of the people of Washington on the broad ground that he gave service and quality merchandise at reasonable prices. The fact that he has expanded his business from a small store six years ago, to a large spacious business with many departments, speaks for itself of the progress that he has made. Whatever measure of success he has so far obtained, he has earned it on the principal of being a good business man rather than because of the fact that he is a Negro and operates a store in a Negro neighborhood. Race has nothing to do with success, it is ability that counts. Mr. Reid has proved this theory to be true. From a small music store with a limited stock, Mr. Reid has expanded, until today he operates one of the largest music supply stores in the city, a well and fully equipped men's haberdashery, a men's shoe department, a complete stationery store, and a department for women's hose and notions. The Tribune extends to Mr. Reid and his wife (who has ably assisted him), congratulations, and we hope that the splendid example that they have given to the world of what Negro business can do will be emulated throughout the length and breadth of this land. A PROBLEM FOR THE PRINCIPALS According to complaints of students in the various schools, the annual pilfering of books, clothing and equipment from student lockers has begun. Hundreds of dollars' worth of valuables are lost each year in the schools through such thefts. Although all lockers are equipped with locks furnished by students, such things as they put in them are not never-the-less, safe. With a new school year just beginning, now is a good time for the various principals to proceed to break up the ransacking of lockers and the stealing of articles. Whatever is necessary to make these locker rooms safe should be done at once. Every effort should be made to apprehend those who are guilty. The principals owe this duty to the parents who must always pay for the losses thus suffered.

"I'll Jack Johnson you," has become the legendary phrase of the American public. Despite his advance in years and his permanent retirement from the prize ring, he is still one of the best known Negroes in the world. It would be a fitting reward to the American people if Jack Johnson would take under his tutelage some promising Negro boxer and impart to him some of the ring skill and technique that he (Johnson) possesses. In no better way could Jack prove to the pubic that he is grateful for the opportunities he enjoyed. His own monument is assured because he will live as long as boxing continues to hold the place it does in the realm of sports. THE LETTER BOX FREE MASONRY While not an initiate into the "mysteries" of Free Masonry, I have always been given to understand that the great Masonic fraternity is an ideal institution, founded upon the broad principles of peace, harmony, and brotherly love, and that its members are enjoined to practise these virtues in their daily intercourse with each other and with mankind in general. Granting this to be true, then I'd like to know what is the matter with the local Masonic group. Instead of peace and harmony, I hear constant rumors of bickerings, dissention, jealousy, and internal strife. If such a thing as brotherly love does exist, I must admit that I have seen but little, if any, outward manifestation of it. About the one and only proposition which our local Masons seem to be able to agree upon is an agreement to disagree. The head of the fraternity seems to delight in emulating good old Teddy Roosevelt (in one manner only, however) as a wielder of the big stick.

Likewise, each man has his own coterie of friends and admirers, and when the official axe is ruthlessly applied to his neck and his scalp is added to the growing collection of trophies, the support and good will of all of his friends pass over to the red ink side of the ledger, the decapitating process thus becoming a far-reaching liability instead of the intended asset. A raw sore is left which, like a cancer, is well-night incurable and continues to spread in spite of attempts to heal it by plastering it with salve. As for freedom of speech and independence of thought and action—such things seem entirely to have ceased to exist. A gag rule more efficient in its operation than the one applied in naval circles during the recent war seems to be in effect. Men seem reticent about discussing conditions or in expressing freely for fear of incurring the displeasure of the all-powerful ruler and falling victims of his well-greased guillotine. It is downright pitiful to see hundreds of earnest men and women, deluded by flattering but empty promises, gazing with long- EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 5, 1928 Clap on your earphones and keep your biscuit grabber on the dial of your one-tube set because The Tribune is likely to broadcast most any night now.

But have they any one but themselves to blame for the present condition of affairs? I should say no. They have been manipulated as pawns in the game of strategy played by their leaders, and have quiescently permitted themselves to be debauched by the devastating conflict between selfish forces—a fight which could and should have been averted. In unity there is strength, and a house divided against itself can not stand. From all present indications it seems to me that the local Masonic organization is riding for a fall, and that only a miracle can avert the impending disaster. The old saying about a man being down but never out applies with equal force to any group of men banded together for any purpose. The situation, which to me seems almost hopeless, may not be entirely beyond mending if the local Masons will forget playing politics for a while and revert to the practise of the time-tested principles upon which this oldest and most honorable of all fraternal organizations is founded—peace, harmony, and brotherly love. Hillory H. Gaines. The woman who takes the conceit out of a man often adds a little to her own. The only thing that brings joy to the pessimist is the chance to say "I told you so." The man who knows he is right and then goes ahead shouldn't be disappointed if the crowd doesn't follow him. A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL Washington, my espionage system reveals, has the finest developed crop of parasites south of Harlem, New York. The Nation's Capital seems unusually blessed or cursed in its overdose of handsome, slickhaired young excuses for manhood who seem decidedly skillful in the business of toiling not and spinning little. Washington's parasites are divided into several classes, the ultrafashionable or professional brand who find themselves married to school teachers whose earnings are sufficient to keep her noble spouse from plying his trade as doctor or lawyer any too strenuously. The undergraduate breath and breeches who finds the spare change of the stenographer or bookkeeper a considerable help in working his way through school, is another class. And lastly the ordinary everyday pimp who plays up to $12 a week waitresses for a hand out of cold chow and cigarette money. The methods used by all three, my espionage system reveals, are identically the same. It is a business based on the principal that "It is the woman who pays." The only difference is that one class deals in high finance, the other in small loans and the third in chattel. The game is one of the cleverest and oldest of confidence games—parlor, sofa and low light filinflaming. A jelly bean spots the lady of his dreams, pardon my error, in this case she is the lady of his schemes, and after ascertaining whether her earnings are sufficient to justify the investment he proceeds to lead her a pace that sweeps her off her feet and robs her of the power of serious reflection. As soon as he is certain that she has been rendered sufficiently unconscious by his love ether to become interested ni his welfare, he proceeds to do his stuff. ★ ★ ★ ★ The society pimp leads his pro- a blaze of glory, takes her on a long rest.

KIDDIES The society pimp leads his prospective meal ticket to the altar in a blaze of glory, takes her on a honeymoon and returns to a good, long rest. He makes a test of the saying that two can live off of the same school system as cheaply as one. The college P I's have a different method. They steer clear of the ardent love making as much as possible displaying their petting proclivities only where the lady demands action for her money. As a rule they prefer the "big sister" racket. They like to drop around and be on good terms with the whole family and get a touch out of everybody from the grandfather down to the kid brother—with a possible feed thrown in. They take their money in dribbles from the lady love, accepting it with a tone of injured pride and pleading with her to keep an itimized account so they can pay back every nickle as soon as they finish school. Half a dozen such "big sisters" and "little sisters" on the string is almost as profitable as a chain of gasoline stations. The third class uses another method. He spots his breadwinner, rushes her "jamup" for a while until he gets her cockey enough to be sympathetic. He then announces that he has lost his job. He is hungry, he needs cigarettes, his rent is due, he is undoubtedly in quite a dilemma. She must help him, and does. His unemployment lasts as long as her sympathies and money hold out. The third class pimp does not resort to the strategy and cunning of this more cultured brethren. As time goes on he grows bolder and demands his money. He dogs the steps of his benefactor and even extorts her small earning with his fists. KIDDIES' KORNER TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

All high school or junior high school pupils are eligible to enter papers in this competition. The purpose of these prizes is to encourage as widely as possible the study of the Negro's part in American history. HUSBANDS 'Tis a long way to look but it's time to mention these facts: A trifling boy makes a trifling man, and, of course, a trifling man is apt to make a trifling husband. Each boy should be industrious, kind and thrifty. Each girl should be industrious and learn a trade or profession, for by so doing you can be independent enough to wait for a good worthy person and not accept some masculine makeshift for a husband. Girls, make mother your companions. Haven't there been times when you have noticed children (and older folks too) being so noisy as to make you feel badly and sometimes embarrassed? Sometimes such conduct is due to thoughtlessness, at other times because of indifference as to the impression being made on those who are observing. In either case deterioration is the result. Let those who are anxious to deport themselves in the proper manner refrain from doing those things that cause unfavorable comment being made of you. Beazel, beany, byny bie. Bake for me a pickel pie; Make it thick and deep and tall And I'll eat it—crust and all. Have you seen the stars ashing In the middle of the day? No you've never seen them shining But this letter to you I'll tell You can see the stars in daytime From the bottom of a well. (Note: It is true that were you to be lowered into a well you could look up and see the stars shining in the daytime. The sky is full of stars at all times. We see them best at night because we are in the shadow of the earth. The earth is between us and the sun and the dark space which we call night has the same effect upon our vision, allowing us to see the stars. Ask your teacher to explain this to you.-Ed.) Idleness is one thing that never works out right. HUSBANDS OUR CONDUCT JINGLES PENNINGS of local POETS (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children."

The poem is called "In a Few Weeks," and was composed by Annie Vivanti (Mrs. Chartres) a white woman.) I. a few weeks, when I stop loving you, I shall have back my old impertinent smile, I shall have back my perfidy and guile, And make men fall in love, as hitherto. In a few weeks, when I stop loving you, I'll take up my old ways without regret. Contented to avoid you and forget, Serene, oblivious, without adieu. In a few weeks, when I stop loving you, If I encounter you, severe and pale, I'll pass you by without a word or hail, Bright-eyed, light-hearted, on the avenue.

No, no, do not turn pale—kiss me again! Let me find myself a shady nook With flowers and birds for company— A clear sparkling flowing brook With blue sky floating serene o'er me.

Mrs. Sarah Green Dead |), The death of Mrs. Sarah Greene, late of 3812 Davenport street, northwest, has robbed Fort Reno of one of its oldest and most be- loved inhabitants. Mrs. Greene, who survived her late husband,’ Fred Greene, for nearly two years, was called to eternal rest on Monday, the 24th of September last, being then in her 73rd year. Funeral services were conducted by her pastor, the Rev. A. Jones, at the Rock Greek Baptist Church, Thursday, the 27th. Interment was at Payne's Ceme- tery. The pastor was eloquent in his discourse and eulogy, the church was crowded, and Mr. Lomax, the undertaker, was as usual master of the situation, Friends and relatives were equal- ly affected by the loss they sus- tained in the death of this good Indy, who was affectionately known to ail as “Mamma Greene.” In her days of activity, che was a leading figure and a tireless worker in the Rock Creek Baptist Church, of which the Rev. A. Jones is pastor. To this good soul no sacrifice was too great in the interest of the church, or its pas- tor, or for the comfort and wel- fare of her fellowmen with whom she was in daily contact. Devoted as she was to the in- terest of others, she was considered by students of human. nature a rare character in the light of her altruistic tendencies. If, as the poet wrote: “Man’s best riches must be gained, not, given, His noblest name deserved, and not derived,” then her survivors may well be proud of the record of this exemp- lary character, who throughout her Whole, life gave them lessons of faith in God, the faith that works by love, that purifies the heart, and overcomes the world. ‘And on her tombstone should be carved: ‘ “A name, and a-wreath, and 2 tale to touch hearts through’ the wide-spreading years.” She is survived by three chil. dren: Mrs. E.

No Divine Right to Rule * Dr. Walter H. Brooks stated the cause of friction between races here as the belief of one race in its divine ae to rule, and the disbelief of the other race in that principle, > He analyzed interracial feeling in tates where the Negro had been freed voluntarily, as. contrasted with feeling in those States where his freedom had come as the result of war, and presented a resume of present-day conditions to, indicate that the wounds of the Civil War were rapidly healing. Problem of Present Dr. James H. Taylor, of the Cen- tral Presbyterian Church, discussed the problem of interracial relations ‘as primarily one of the present, but which must be thought of in terms of the future of America, as to whether that future would be a cosmopolitanism developed out of the melting pot of European races, or along more restricted lines. He eet time as the prin- cipal element in the solution of in- terracial problems. The interracial situation in America is not what it should be in face of Christian religion, de- clared Dr, Anson, Phelps Stokes, canon of the cathedral of Washing- ten. He outlined Fee Se eae development of the goodwill move- ment aoe the er five years in all parts of the South. Mrs. Ma- mie P, Thomas, a member of the inter-ricial_ commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, also addressed the meeting.

The Colored Methodist Episco- pal Church reported 2,518 church- es with 202,713 members in 1926, against 2,621 churches with 245,- 749 members in 1916, a decrease of 103 churches and 43,036 mem- bers in ten years. eget es YOUNG PEOPLE ACTIVE AT _ SHILOH | The Christian Endeavor Society of the Shiloh Baptist Church, at its executive committee meeting, held at the church last Wednesday, heard reports of the activities of its committees during the past summer.

It stands in a unique position, being the only school of its kind organized and. maintained solely by our group and should be the pride and joy of all race loving people, The dearth of qualified relief clerks, and the cry of so many of our young men and women for a chance to study, for this honorable profession, together with fhe fact that other Pharmacy Schools open to our group are over taxed, and operate only in the day time, depriv- ing many of an opportunity to gain a professional education, due to their inability to attend day schools; forced its sponsors to open its doors to worthy and competent applicants. Since its humble beginning in 1921, when it occupied rented quarters over Mr. Clarence M. Deveille’s yeal estate office, 1837 Seventh street, northwest, one hundred and seven students have been graduated, and from these have gone, men and women to their life's work in the field of Pharmacy. It may be interesting to know that our graduates have been very successful before state boards of pharmacy, for our records show that 82 per cent of those who have chanced boards of pharmacy have passed with jealous averages. So that at this writing we report 44 registered pharmacists, and eleven quali- fied assistants, and their captured fields include, the’ District of Columbia, Michigan, Texas, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and North Carolina.’ We have also given to the city of Washington the following stores, for they are owned or operated by our suc- cessful graduates: Wiseman's Pharmacy, Fourth and Elm streets, northwest; Reynold’s Pharmacy, 2600 Georgia avenue, northwest; Williams’ Pharmacy, First’ and. Virginia avenue, southwest; Tviangle Pharmacy, 241 Virginia avenue, southeast; Davidson's Pharmacy, 609 Four-and-a-half street, southwest; “Twine's Pharmacy, 1319 H_ street, northeast; and’a check up reveals that 70 per cent of the relief clerks in our group stores are W.C.P. men. We think that such a record reflects credit, not only to the W.CP., but to our group as a whole, and says that such a school ought to live, that it might grow and be a service to worthy young men and women in the years that are to come. ‘The school is located in its own three-story brick building and has striven by untold sacrificing to meet the. demands of this era of changes in our, educational system, and we feel that race pride should send us help in this hour of neéd. Ten thousand dollars by March 16, 1929, is the slogan of the W.C.P. What will you, who read or hear of this do? ‘Why the need for ten thousand dollars? The new pharmacy law, of the District of Columbia, which is now effective requires that’an approved school of pharmacy must have: 1, Equipment valued to the amount of $100,00 for each stu- dent enrolled, and in no case less than $2,500.00. 2. Three full time professors, regularly employed to teach. 8, Three laboratories, equipped for teaching Chemistry, Phar- macy, Materia Medica, and allied branches. ‘4. The entire faculty shall be selected for their masterly ability to teach their chosen subjects. 5. And all other things which go to make up a 100 per cent College of Pharmacy. ‘The District of Columbia Board of Pharmacy and a commit tee of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy have commended our efforts and have given us written assurance of- recognition, porviding we measure up to these requirements within a year. (This must not be construed as contradictory to the above statement that the funds must be raised by Mareb, 1929. The directors of the school will not spend any of the funds’ collected, ‘until the entire amount has been secured; therefore a suffcient length of time is necessary to apportion the funds and make the changes and improvements, indicated. ‘The intervening time, March to September, 1929, is necessary for this purpose.) ore Graduates of our school are at this time eligible to appear before state examining boards in the following states: Arizona, Colorado, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, South Dakota, ‘Tennessee, and Wyoming. ‘When the College shall have been approved by the Board of Pharmacy of the District of Columbia, said District will be counted in the above list as well as many other states that enjoy reciprocal arrangements with the District of Columbia Board. ‘We must not fail, for the cry of the youth of our group rings in our ears, with your help we can not fail.

Gans is as clean a liver, as fine a fentleman, and as great a fighter in his clase aé the immortal “Georzia on.” Flowers was a deacon in his church in the South. Well, Baby ‘Zoe also is a deacon of the colored Baptist church of Los Angeles, and When he is in his home town he passes the plate and attends to his -deaconly duties ‘every Sunday. ~": "Blowers was one of the psalm singing sons of slug who showed ‘that a fellow could put an opponent to sleep and still lead a devout life, and Baby Joe Gans, now that the beloved Tiger has passed on, intends to show the Eastern folk that he, too, as a deacon in good stand- ing, can combine a religious life with a career in the ring. | Gans is a freak when it comes to weight. He can box at the light ‘weight limit of 135 and answer the bell in the pink of condition with all ‘his strength. He can train so that he will tip the scale at 142 and be réady pe ‘those at or near that weight, or he can build himself s to 147, he will be set for a go with Joe Dundee or whoever hold welterweight title. Therein lies his claim to being a pugilistic ak. Deacon Gans does not claim there are no black marks on his ree- ord. He admits that of his 105 fights, five were lost, but none when he fought as a lightweight. And ho has yet to ask what struck him, the usual query of a battler after being knocked out. Punching the bag and working. at the palays, Gans, in the rest 5 said he never smoked, chewed or drank liquor. ‘ Perlege Some of the boys, want to do that,” he said, “that's their bus ness. I know the ring game is a short one and I am doing my best “ty Save some money that will let me get into a business that will take cate of me and my own.” 4 ‘Gans would like to go to a theological school if conditions permit- ted and teach the gospel. According to Lichtenstein, the boy never gloats over an opponent, never rises to anger, and never, to his know! ‘edge, has used profanity. .

I went over, and asked for the camps, and while one of the fellows (whom I later learned was named Jack Coles) was directing me over to the other side of the river, a fellow in short sleeved jersey yelled out, “Hey there you Fookie, come over here, and shut = I wondered how he knew my name but I went. ‘As I said before, I wondered how in the world that fellow standing out their in the sleeveless shirt “know that I was one of the Rukeys, “40 when he bellowed out that “Hey there you rookie, coms over here }and shut your trap,” I just went. ‘Walking up to him, I says, says I, “Excuse me mister, I don’t know ur name, but seeing that you Know me, I kinds, thought 'd ask $0, OOH from Whiteapple 2” Weil, I don't know what baprened funny, but anyway after wang go! ‘ough laughing at something, the fellow whom I knew must have at least past through Franklin County, and had seen my picture in the Spittoon, answered amy question.

By the way, did you ever meet THREE LOCAL ATHLETES IN VIRGINIA SCHOOLS ‘Three former Washington high school star athletes left the city early this week for Virginia col- leges where they will matriculate the coming winter. Percy ‘White and Louis Dabney, geesies fof the Armstrong High thool last year, and Adrienne Johnson, of the "27 Dunbar High School graduating class boarded trains southward bound for Lynch- burg and Petersburg. White, an all-round athlete of no mean pro- portions, and Johnson, a football yer of excellent repute, are Readea for Virginia Seminary and College where they will join a host of star local athletes already there. Ed Davis, Slim Henderson, Red bead (captain of this year's team), and Skeeter Un- derdown already have a year or Re to-their credit at the Lynch- school. ° 2 ee ve doubtless be heard Es news of the Virginia ace socal basketball | Baseball teams reach us; Old Man Hiram Sigsby.

They gave ma the most let- ters ‘cause everybody wanted me to be a girl.” All the time I was talking the bunch of guys standing around me just ephemera <I didn’t like it at. all, and I thought they was the most unmanly group I ever savin my life. “One of them es- pecially, that same old Jack Coles, just acted like he was crazy. ‘The man with no sleeves in his shirt—none of us had much sleeves though for that matter—then spoke up and said, “All right men let's cut the monkeyshines and get down to business, we've got a long week facing us.” _ The rest of the gang scampered off and started doing just what the man had asked them not to do. They started running about chas- ing those same lop-sided balls they were chasing when I first saw them. And the ones that wuzant doing that were going through some of the funniest gyrations 1 ever saw. It was my turn to laugh, and turn the tables on this bunch of hicks. I just rolled. I was on my knees holding my stomach and just a laughing, when of a sudden, I was run over by one of those street cars, I tried 50 hard to dodge when I went down to the Tribune office to sée the Tribune office to see the boss, last week. When I opened my eyes, I saw a crowd of wild men dress- ed in the most foolish attire I ever laid eyes on standing over'me. The location of my position came to me immediately, and I realized that I must have been struck by one of these fellows who was in the act of running after that ball. I was right. A big fellow, they said his nange was John Oliver that he weigh- ed 235 pounds, but the chap was nice enough to help me up; mean- time telling me that his name was Hall, and that he onlyed weighed 213,’ He apologised for not seeing me, and .I accepted because he seemed to me to be the kind of « fellow that I would like. (To be continued) THOMPSON BEATEN BY JACKIE FIELDS SAN FRANCISCO, Calif — Young Jack Thompson's hopes received a serious setback here Monday night when Jackie Fields, white, handed him what is probably the worst beating he has received during his colorful ring career, while a crowd of 10,000 looked on. While the fight was a non-title one it is thought that Fields may be substituted for Thompson in the fight with Joe Dundee at Madi- son Square Garden, November 16. Fields weighed 145% pounds to 144 for Thompson, rained down a ter- rific body attack on the man who beat the champion pummeling him with short lefts and rights to win seven of the ten rounds. Thompson's rallies in the sixth and seventh sessions gave him those rounds with the fight declared even. The victory was the, elev- Senager, fig: Howey, borat ta manager, Gi ty, hopes Dundee now will rather fight him han meet Thompson. 33° Bisons Stage A Golfers To Vie F Amateur Tit Goodwin, Last Year Cadiaiae: in of Entrants Threaten to D — — Bisons Stage Initial Battle of Season With Livingstone Today Amateur Golf Championships Start Sunday Golfers To Vie For Local |HOW'RD EMB'RKSILINCOLN LIONS (Mystery of the Ferocious Amateur Title Sunday FOR OPENING AT| INO-0 DRAW Tiger-Rinky Dink Conquest Govdvi, Last Yer Campin, in Good Form x ot] SALISBURY] WITH A. & T, ntashces sche] Sisk Ba ck Hishds Threstie to Dethrene Him | teaseun:“aotrs. trent | co. ceceenr ncn, ng, {EES Re oe aro | nn ocr eb ‘The qualifying round of the Dis- trict Amateur Golf Championship will be aye over the Lincoln Memorial links, West Potomac Park, Sunday, Harry Jackson and John W.

No, I’m a little ahead of my story, it was two games in ‘one, but that didn’t matter, since the Ferocious Tigers had won both of them. The games were played ‘on a field which was described as was the position of the American Expeditionary Forces during the recent World War—‘“somewhere in Georgetown.” At any rate, the team which was not from Cedar Heights emerged the vietor, and contrary to custom and what you're probably thinking, the Rinky Dinks were not chased a Instead, oa were invited the Ferocious Tiger ane ‘ment to come oF to the club house, just back of Oid Man Finklestein’s eo and dry goods store for a test of the bewhiskered Mr. Fink's apples and grapes, but the visitors sohbet ly declined and de- ‘parted. ‘When informed that the inser- tion of the article would cost them nothing, those Ferocious Tigers on hand showed an amount of un- bounded surprise, with which they launched into an explanatory com- ‘plex which carried them far into ‘the sport editor's Junch time. Af- ter telling -all about the game, or rather games, the Jungaleers (if 1 may drop the adjective for a mo- ment) then turned the following version of how a box score should be made out: Cedar metgnts: L, Pully, If. ...at bat 5 times out 3 Shel, cf.

After’ brushing up on his algre- bra and assembling all of the mem- SEVEN bers of the office force who had learned, in their school days, a Jit- tle about Greek, the sport editor undertook the task of unravelling the “Mystery of the Ferocious Ti- ger-Rinky Dink Conquest.” By the process of elimination the conelu- sim was reached that whenever the Rinky Dink batters did not get out they got base hits, and when- eyer the Tiger batters failed to hit they got out. The difference between the two Lawrences (spelt otherwise by the reporters) was that one was named Colbert and the other Williams, but that mattered little since the same conclusion could be reached by spelling one with a “ce” and the other with an “se” and.by eapi- t:lizing one and ignoring eapitali- zation in the other, Analization brought out that in- stead of “Lorense” ee the first one to be hurt as might be con- stvued, he was the first catcher for the Tigers and had to retire after being injured. |The runs we in- Rey ete on O Georgetown Juniors ab oho J.

Good Singing at Howard - - "Night of Mystery" and All-Talkie Here MUSIC DRAMA CRYORTAKES HONORS AT HOWARD Youth with Tricky Voice Shares with Geneva Washington and Jack Johnson WIGGINS ON BILL If you slipped in the Howard Theatre just as Jessie Cryor began to sing "Blue Heaven," and were called out the moment he finished, you would have no kick coming, you would have gotten your money's worth. Jesse has a way about him and a voice that is hard to describe. He does tricks with it. The offering is called "Sugar Cane," the reason for the name is a deep, dark mystery to me, as there is no attempt at a plot to justify its use. There is however a bit of sweetness oozing through that you'll like. One lump is Marie Williamson, who is given entirely too little to do, for the manner in which she does what she does. Harvey James, who swears he is a local boy, has personality plus, but like Sweet Marie isn't given much of an opportunity to sell his wares. Andrew Fairchild, John Jenkins, and Kid Piedmont are three of the world's best comedians. They manage to get a few laughs out of the oldest bunch of jokes I have heard for many a day. If you like dancing, as dancing should be done, you'll be rather fond of Jack Wiggins, who has educated feet and two educated hats Geneva Washington One of the best prima donas appearing on the Majestic Circuit is with the company. She is Geneva Washington. She is captivating until she sings the blues. While she sings blues much better than most blues singers sing blues, her voice is much too fine to be wasted on that sort of thing. Jack Johnson Jack Johnson, the ex-heavyweight champion of the world is also in the bill for some inexplainable reason. As an actor Mr. Johnson is one of the greatest heavyweight champions in the world has ever seen. He has one redeemable feature. He doesn't use lip stick or rouge. The act is, however entertaining, thanks to the young man in the dirty underwear who works opposite him. If you have an evening to spend, "Sugar Cane" is well worth the investment. SHOW GOES BANKRUPT "Runnin' Wild," under the management of Miller and Slater closed suddenly in Los Angeles, Cal., at the Mason Theatre owing $1,766 to performers among whom were Lottie Gee and Edith Spencer, $743; Broomfield and Greeley, $845; Marion Gee, $97; Juliet Tureaud, $63, and Billie Clark, $17. ETHEL WATERS BANKRUPT New York was startled Wednesday to learn that its favorite, Ethel Waters, appeared in the Federal Court there and applied for an application for voluntary bankruptcy stating that her liabilities amounted to $148,000 and her assets, $40, the total amount of money in her possession at that time. TO MAKE RECORDS Geneva Washington, prima dona of "Sugar Cane," will be given an opportunity to register her voice on records upon her return to New York after her tour, Sam N. Kunhn, manager of the show, stated. LOCAL BOY HERE Harvey James, a dancer, with the "Sugar Cane" Company, is a Washington boy and completed the high schools here. He is well liked by New York critics for his clean cut appearance and likeable personality. HENDERSON WITH MODELS John Henderson is slated to do some catchy solo work with Irvin Miller's Brownskin Models, that is being groomed into shape for their fourth annual season, and will open here next week. WITH "GOIN' HOME" Burnett and Bailey, two clever comedians, are making a hit in "Goin' Home," now playing the Masque Theatre on Broadway. DANCERS AT CONNIE'S Wells and Mordecai, a nifty dancing team, is a feature in the floor show at Connie's Inn. DID YOU KNOW THAT— JACK JOHNSON LATE Several patrons left the matinee and demanded their money back at the Howard Theatre, Monday, when Jack Johnson was late putting in his appearance after being delayed while motoring here from Philadelphia. ADA BROWN BUSY Ada Brown, the wagon load of personality, is doing the week between the State theatre, Pontiac and the Capital theatre, Flint, Mich. SCORNIA Layard and Johnston still a riot in Europe, are hitting this week at the Empire theatre, Swansea, Provincial England. DANCING CHAMPION BEGAN AT 7 YEARS Jack Wiggins, who holds a number of cups and medals, which he won in competitive dance contests, which also won him the title of champion tap dancer of the world, started at the age of seven. Wiggins, from a distance looks like a boy, but close examination reveals a fringe of gray around the roots of his hair. He admits that he is 42. Father Also Dancer Wiggins is a native of Edenton, N.C., where his father was a minstrel and a dancer. He found his way to New York where he appeared at Madison Square Garden, the Palace, and the Hippodrome where he appeared against the world's leading dancers. Condemns Modernists Wiggins condemned the acrobatic dances of the present stage as dangerous. The knee drop and other sensational twists and turns, he branded as unsafe, because they have been known to ruin performers who sprained themselves or broke their knee caps. Dancing, he said, is something that should be done with the feet and not with the whole body. Praises Bill Robinson Wiggins praised the work of "Bo-jangles" Bill Robinson, stating that he was one of the greatest dancers in the world today. He also spoke highly of Eddie Rector, of the team of Rector and Cooper. BROA "IF IT'S GOOD W 7th at P St., N.W. Phone, North 7255 W. A. Pinchback, Mgr.

Gentlemen of talent are deeply concerned about the affect the canned symphonies are having upon their meal tickets. The immediate effects of the Vitaphone are disastrous, to say the least, upon contemporary musicians, but it has future possibilities that justify its existence. Never before in the history of the theatre was it possible for the masses to get the brand of entertainment that they now receive through the Vitaphone. The opera was far removed from the ears of the man in the streets. The blatant jazz of overnight musicians is being replaced by the finest of symphonies and with the change there is being cultivated unconsciously in the hearts of common folk an appreciation for higher things that could be cultivated through no other agency. The next generation will be greatly advanced in culture because the present generation is being slowly lifted to a higher plane. We welcome the Vitaphone.—J. L. FILMLAND which you will thoroughly enjoy even though you are against capital punishment. It's the villain and you can hate a villain so much more wholeheartedly when you hear WRITER SEES PREVIEW OF "LIGHTS OF NEW YORK" By Jack Lytell Theatre men, stage hands, ticket takers, ticket takers' wives and a lone newspaper man stole into the Lincoln Theatre late Wednesday night after the movie fans were snug in their beds and got a pre-engagement peek at "Lights of New York," the first all-talking moving picture which will be shown there next week. It takes but two words to describe the product of human genius they are "synchronized perfection." Warner Brothers have corralled into one picture undoubtedly the best speaking artists in Hollywood. There are only four or five subtitles throughout the whole hour and a half of entertainment, which eliminates the annoyance of the guy who likes to read the subtitles out loud. The play deals with America's most noble industry, "bootlegging." There are two murders, one of D W A Y By Jack Lytell THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. 1928 which you will thoroughly enjoy even though you are against capital punishment. It's the villain and you can hate a villain so much more wholeheartedly when you hear him talk. There are kisses that resound so realistically that we bachelor fellows there grew envious. There is nothing mechanical about the portrayal. The actors move and speak and act with a naturalness that almost makes you want to slip around to the stage door to watch them come out. "Synchronized perfection" and "Lights of New York" are synonymous terms. I wouldn't miss it if I were you. MYSTERY PLAY AT THE REPUBLIC Adolphe Menjou, the suave sophisticate of the screen, in "A Night of Mystery," will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, October 6, 7, and 8.

ARTHUR, KARL DANE MARCELLINE DAY BIG MIDNIGHT RAMBLE I Programs Subject to ture, "Hot News," will be shown on Tuesday and Wednesday, October 9 and 10. Abounding in adventure, suspense, thrills and romance, "Hot News," is a story dealing with the exploits of a news reel camera girl who steps into her father's business at a crucial moment and saves him from ruin by "scooping" the other newsreel services at every hand. The climax of the picture is one that is warranted to give the most blase movie-goer a thrill. Neil Hamilton is Miss Daniels' leading man in "Hot News." On Thursday and Friday, October 11 and 12, the feature attraction will be Tom Mix in his newest picture, "Silver Valley." From horseman to aviator is quite a jump, but Mix in this new production portrays an aviator, "Silver Valley" tells of a cowboy who took to flying and met with new adventures in the air more thrilling than any he encountered on the range. Mix doesn't abandon Tony, his wonderful horse. On the contrary he uses him in one of the most daring rescue scenes ever filmed.
