Veteran Pastor of St. Mary's Succumbs Here Three-Year-Old Tot Loses Two-Year Fight for Life UNDER the Dome of the CAPITOL Two chairmen were killed in the recent Tong War that broke here Monday and many were marked for death in other cities. Americans condemn these outbreaks and look with horror upon the Oriental's method of settling his differences. They forget that feuds of a similar sort are still prevalent among the hills of Kentucky and other parts of the ignorant South. The Chinaman who is marked to die receives a flower which is the symbol of death. He merely prays until his time comes because Chinamen are through and keep their promises. The killer does not go of his own volition, but is selected in secret council after drawing lots to see who will commit the murder. He goes alone and does not return until his mission is completed. Americans who live in the land of the free and home of the "brave" are more cowardly, they go in mobs to kill we helpless Negroes. * * * * * Skimmed milk is being used in the production of buttons and umbrella handles by dairies. Casein the base found in the milk is mixed with other chemicals to make it solid. The world is busy finding a way to put all forms of waste to good use. It is a pity that the precious moments wasted around poolrooms on U street can't be preserved and distributed among men who are making the world a better place to live in when time takes its toll. * * * * * According to municipal statistics issued in Baltimore, our sister city, there were 911 less marriages licenses granted in 1927 than in 1926. There is much discussion regarding the decline and much alarm over the increased divorce rate. The selfishness of America as a nation has its reaction on the private life of its citizens. Marriage calls for mutual sacrifice. sacrifices are very unpopular in this day and time. Prohibition may be to blame. The inward revolt against all restrictions of personal liberty has grown rapidly in the last ten years. Marriage makes individuals slaves to social codes that are fast becoming obsolete. Havelock Ellis, famous student of social relations, says that the time is fast approaching when men will resort to the primitive method of selecting their mates and will not need the sanction of clergy or state. Pity the poor woman then? Lady Nancy Astor, member of the British parliament and Virginia's noted daughter, inaugurated a campaign to clean up and beautify the Old Dominion. "I have talked in England so about the beauty of Old Virginia," she said "for you know, it is the most beautiful place in the world, that after seeing its unkempt appearance, I feel as if I would be afraid to let some of my English friends come here." Let us hope she starts by wiping out the jim crow station that appears in every nook and corner of her native state. WANTED TO PLAY The stubborn fight for life which has been waged for the past two years by little three-year old Helen Beard, of Cumberland, Va., ended quietly in the Freedmen's Hospital, Monday morning. The child, who has been suffering with a peculiar disease of the bones which has baffled scientists and doctors at the institution since March, cucumbered with the ailment still unfathomed by the men of medicine. Dr. Lawrence Jackson, house physician, declared that the child had been suffering with a disease that was gradually eating away the marrow of her bones. This condition was found to exist in several parts of her body. Was Cheerful In spite of the fact that she was growing weaker as her tiny body was rendered useless as the initially crept slowly but surely to wade her heart, which finally ended in her death, the little girl was the life of the ward and cheered those who were for less hopeless than she. Throughout the spring, summer and up into the fall she talked constantly of the time when she would go home again and romp and play the other children. Washington Tribune JIM CROW DINNER OFF ALTER PLANS MOTHER ASKS PROBE THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST., S. E. an Pastor Wash Vol. VIII, No. 22 WASHINGT JIM C ALTER PLANS WHEN HOTEL BARS RACE Missionary Banquet Removed from Willard Hotel to Church to Avoid Discrimination Plans for the annual banquet of the Foreign Missions Committee of the Presbyterian Churches of Washington and Vicinity which was scheduled to take place at the Willard Hotel here were suddenly changed when the hotel refused to accommodate three Negro members, the Rev. H. B. Taylor, pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, announced, Sunday. Covers were to be laid for 800, according to plans of the committee of which the Rev. Taylor is a member, but the hotel refused to consent to the colored members being served due to a ruling of the Waiters' Union here not to serve mixed groups. The banquet will be held at the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, white, of which the Rev. Freely Roher is the pastor, on the night of October 30. Lauds Action The Rev. Taylor, in an interview, praised the attitude of the Rev. J. Hillman Holster, pastor of Chevy Chase Presbyterian Church, chairman of the committee, and other broadminded members of the organization who would not tolerate discrimination in any form. The other colored members who will probably attend are the Reverends R. A. Fairley, pastor of Tabor Presbyterian Church, and W. H. Campbell, of Fairmount Heights. Similar Occurrence The committee had a similar experience in 1926, the pastor declared, when the Franklin Square Hotel attempted to bar Negroes. When the committee threatened to leave the hotel the management yielded. Miss Lela M. Scott, of 310 I St., northwest, has been selected as juror in the Supreme Court serving in Division No. 1. Old Tot Loses Right for Life National Benefit Men Past Million Mark Messrs. John R. Pinkett, agency director, and Aaron Day, Jr., assistant agency director at large, of the Ordinary Department of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company have just communicated to S. W. Rutherford, Founder and Secretary-General Manager, located here, an outstanding achievement. As an expression of loyalty and of affection, the month of September was set apart as "S. W. Rutherford Month," in honor of Mr. Rutherford's Anniversary Birth Month. The Ordinary Department Sales Force was offered a challenge, and it responded by producing One Million Ninety Thousand Five Hundred Dollars worth of business. 73-YEAR-OLD MAN HURT John Stewart, age 73, 1103 Third street, southeast, received a probable fracture of the skull when he was struck by the automobile of Mrs. Eula Gray, 1945 Vermont avenue, at the intersection of Fairmont avenue and N street, Sunday. Is Cupid Mrs. Delaney Says Postal Clerk was Seen with Unidentified Man Before Tragedy Trying hard to keep back the tears, Mrs. Julia R. Delaney, a former teacher in the District public schools, and mother of Roy C. Delaney, postal clerk, whose body was recovered from the Potomac River, at the foot of Fourteenth street, southwest, early last Thursday morning, told Tribune reporters, Wednesday, how she waited in vain all night for her son, and chief means of support to come home. Mrs. Delaney told a graphic story of how he had, on numerous occasions, warned her son against the practice of courting married women, but to no avail. She pictured how she had retired, but up PURCHASE OF LOT ASSURES DUNBAR NEW STADIUM Acquisition of Last Plot of Land Speeds Plans for Athletic Bowl The acquisition of this lot completed the land purchases for the stadium and athletic field for the Dunbar High School. It gives the school all property on the N street side back to the land running north and south immediately to the rear of the Twining School. Would Not Sell Acquisition of land for the building of a stadium and athletic field at the Dunbar High School was begun in 1916. Delay was caused by condemnation proceedings and a provision in congressional appropriations that no property for school purposes could be bought for more than 125 per cent of its assessed valuation. Property in this vicinity had been improved and no NEW ORLEANS, LA.—Feeling ran high a few nights ago at the First African Baptist Church when the minister, Rev. James A. Bingaman, was roundly scored for his political activities and his resignation demanded. This action was brought about by the acceptance of Rev. Bingaman of the position of delegate-at-large to the Republican national convention at Kansas City in June. It was held that his affiliation was with the faction called the lily-whites. FORT WORTH, Tex., Oct. 10—Speaking to a large gathering of Negroes at a meeting of the Negro Civic League, recently held here, William M. McDonald, politically known as "Goose Neck Bill," stated that the most vicious, relentless, un-American, unjust organizations in America today are the Ku Klux Klan and Lily White Republicans. MANY ROMANCES OF THEATRICAL FOLK SHATTERED THIS YEAR, STAGE GOSSIPS. Lovers ALL THE WORLD LOVES A LOVER. That is why all the cast of "Deep Harlem" at the Howard Theatre, this week, is watching with interest the romance of petite Pearl McCormack and Louis Cole, dancers, who are lovers on and off the stage. But Cupid is falling down this season with the show folk, as many stage romances are shattered. See story on the Theatrical page. STEPMOTHER IS DEFENDANT IN $10,000 SUIT Action to Set Aside Deed Is Postponed In Equity Court FRAUD CHARGED Justice Jennings Bailey, in equity court, No. 1, continued until October 29, the suit of Rheba Evans against her stepmother, Mrs. Mattie Daniel Greene, in order to give the plaintiff time to amend her bill. The suit is to set aside a deed conveying property at Forty-eighth street and Deane avenue, northeast from Mrs. Evans to Mrs. Greene on the ground of fraud and misrepresentation. Mrs. Evans also claims she was a minor at the time she executed the deed. The property is estimated to be worth $10,000. Was Joint Owner Mrs. Greene claims that she was the joint owner of the property with her husband, that she spent $3,294 to protect it and gave Mrs. Evans property in Fairmount Heights, Md., in exchange for the Deanwood property. The case was tried by Justice James F. Smith, late of the United States Court of Customs Appeals who sat in the District Supreme Court to relieve congestion of the docket, but he died before he signed a decree. Attorneys Charles S. Baker and B. L. Tepper are representing Mrs. Evans. Attorney R. R. Horner is representing Mrs. Greene.

All about him he hears talk of autos, street cars, aeroplanes, talking movies and radios, but all of these things are strange to him. He has always been self-supporting. He canes chairs and sells candy in barbershops and public buildings for a livelihood. NEVALTHOMAS IS TAKEN TO TASK John T. Rhines Disagrees With Attack on G.O.P. In Recent Article John T. Rhines, prominent local undertaker, a member of the executive committee of the Hoover-Curtis club, and a zealous supporter of the N.A.A.C.P., has challenged some recent statements of Neval Thomas, president of the local branch N.A. A.C.P. Mr. Thomas declared that the Republican party invented Segregation under Taft, and carried it to its greatest extent under Harding and Coolidge. It swept the South of officeholders under Taft, and now has even cleaned up the National Committee. All of these late years the Negro members of the National Committee have been forced to name white men and women often Democrats, to federal posts in Georgia and Mississippi. Politicians look after the interests of those who can raise them to power and punish them for broken promises. Had the Negro race divided its vote at the first Republican betrayal in 1877, it never would have been disfrancised. Both parties would have been in rivalry for his vote, and he could have traded it for the fullest citizenship. Admires Thomas Mr. Rhines states: "Personally, I have great admiration for Neval Thomas. I admire him for his brilliance as a speaker and writer, While attempting to scale a fence at 6608 Fourteenth street northwest, Evertt Dorsey, 724 Harvard street, northwest, fell upon an open knife and was seriously injured, Saturday.

ZEPPELIN IS FORERUNNER OF NEW WAR ZEPPELIN IS FORERUNNER OF NEW WAR 75-Yr.-Old Prophet Warns Capital of Coming Destruction From Air TOLD OF FLOOD The Graf Zeppelin which circled the city Monday upon its arrival in America after a 6,000 mile journey from Germany is the forerunner of another war which will destroy the capital and other American cities, is the prediction of Prophet Andrew Jones, 75-year-old Baptist Evangelist, who called at the Tribune office, Monday. Prophet Jones, who is known from one end of the country to the other for his uncanny foresight, came to the office a few moments after the giant dirigible passed over the city and declared that it was the fulfillment of a vision that was revealed to him by God. Warnings Came True Prophet Jones has a long list of predictions which have materialized among which were the California, earthquake, the Johnstown flood, the Baltimore fire, the recent flood disasters which swept the south.

Mason, made a quick left-hand turn to avoid a collision with another car at Fourth street and Reservoir drive in the rear of the Howard University stadium. The steering gear locked and his automobile overturned. Mrs. Brooks suffered a broken neck. She was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was pronounced dead on arrival. Her husband escaped with a few minor bruises that were dressed at Freedmen's Hospital. He was so severely shocked that it was deemed advisable to detain him at the hospital. Mason is an employee of the Potomac Electric Power Company. His wife visited friends in Alexandria, Va., Sunday night, and they were returning home when the accident happened. MITCHELL VISITS CITY Charles E. Mitchell, assistant director of the Republican eastern speakers' bureau, and W. H. C.

Mitchell, for 34 years rector of the St. Mary's Episcopal Church, succumbed in the Emergency Hospital late Wednesday evening following a lingering illness of eight months' duration. The deceased pastor was respected here by all denominations and adored by his own congregation for his piety and sacrificial life. He never married but was wrapped up in his work and always put the welfare of his parishers ahead of his own. He is survived by two sisters in Columbia, South Carolina, and a host of friends. Funeral services will be conducted at the church Saturday. Arrangements are being made for burial by the Rev. L. M. Mitchell, assistant pastor of the church and a committee of ladies.

Man Wanted to ministry at H. U. Former Guide for Teddy Roosevelt in Africa Comes to D.C., from South A native born son of the heart of Africa, and the chief guide during the famous Roosevelt big game hunt expedition of 1911, Romeo Christopher, 59 years old, arrived in this city last week bent on entering Howard University for the purpose of studying to become a minister of the gospel. Christopher's decision to come to Washington came as an aftermath to the Florida hurricane which recently visited and devastated the southern part of the country. The former guide was a property owner, but the home he had built and in which he had lived for the past five years was destroyed, and his wife and baby were drowned. Visits Mrs. Longworth The Red Cross Society, finding Christopher destitute and without friends, sent him here to seek aid of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, wife of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and daughter of the late President Roosevelt. Christopher was also given a letter of introduction to officials of Howard University, but up to a late hour Wednesday, he had not made application for entrance at that institution, according to information made public by the university Registrar's office. He could not be located by Tribune reporters after leaving the Longworth home. CURRENT TOPICS HELP THE Y. M. C. A.

A class from the Department of Commerce and Finance of Howard University, visited the retail stores owned and operated by Negroes on U street, last week. The class was making a study of retail methods and of window display. Under the guidance of a professor, they visited the various stores and made their observations. After the visit they compared notes. The class was unanimous in selecting Reid's Corner, The Pandora Shoppe, and The Lantern, as having the best window displays on U street. The findings of the class should be an incentive for other business places on this popular street, to spruce up a bit. Entirely too many U street stores neglect their windows and thus give their places of business an untidy appearance. In most cases the windows are littered with all kinds of placards, signs and what-not. Windows are valuable assets to any business if they are properly looked after, and, likewise, they have repelling effects if neglected. U street is the show window of Negro business in Washington. Its appearance reflects credit or discredit on the entire race. We are judged by the way we keep it. U street must make a better appearance and it is up to the merchants on it to see that this is done. WHERE ARE THE TRUANT OFFICERS? A casual glance up and down the streets of Washington will reveal a very large number of boys of school age loitering around. Street corners, theatres and other places attract them. Without fear of molestation they romp and play and create disturbances throughout the hours that they, according to the compulsory school law, should be in the class room. The law took into consideration that some parents and guardians, would not have the best interest of their children or wards at heart and send them to school, hence they created certain officers whose duty it would be to go around the streets and arrest these truant children and place them in school, and if necessary bring the ones responsible for their truancy before the proper court for trial. Judging from the number of boys who are not in school, either there are no truant officers in Washington, or else they have no conception of what their duties are—and practically no interest in their work except to draw their salaries. This condition should not continue. It is from among this truant class that the future criminals will be culled. Already the race is producing entirely too large a proportion of arrests for various causes here. If this ratio is ever to be reduced, the start must be made by the truant officers doing their duty. The citizens of Washington must demand this.

The news would have spread with the same speed and in the same way. In certain towns in America, if such a report was made public, it would not be many minutes before a mob would be formed and a search made to find some Negro to lynch for revenge. Lynchings have occurred on just such wild rumors as this. Harmless jokes sometimes have disastrous results, therefore it is not wise to play them. It is extremely difficult for most people to repeat something they have heard and not add something of their own to it. And, of course, within a short time, the original story can not be recognized. The character of many innocent people have been ruined in such a manner, many hearts made to ache, and business firms wrecked. We should be careful about what we repeat and never add anything to it regardless to how innocent it may sound.

Poems will not be returned if not accompanied by addressed, stamped envelope.) DO THE THINGS YOU SHOULD DO NOW Do the things you should do now, Wait not for another day. Time is fleeting and you must bow, To whatever it brings your way. Let today see your kind act; Wait not 'till your friend is dead, Then shed tears, as he lay on back, And hear not the sweet things said. Cive the flowers when their smell, Will bring sweet smiles upon his face; Take him to that country dell, Where wild flowers bloom with grace. Curb your anger with kind words, That will never hurt or sting; Treat him as your fond pet birds, Let kind acts in his ear ring. Think ye, the joy you can bring To some sad and weary heart; Think ye, the bliss—a kindly thing Can do to ease an aching heart: So let your deeds shine forth today And spread their kind and wholesome light. Yes, let kind acts, have supreme sway; Cheering souls with hearts as night. 653 C St., S.E. FORUM A SUGGESTION FOR POLITICAL LEADERS By Henry F. Arnold Judging from what I read and hear from the distinguished colored ladies and gentlemen, whose duty it is to keep us well posted anent what we should hope to get from Hoover or Smith, our chances seem to be very slim. We shall doubtless get little or no political recognition from either. If what the scribes and orators tell us is true (and I am forced to accept their word knowing that they know what they are talking about) the mere pittance which is being paid them to chant the innate qualities of their candidates is all hat we need hope for. A distinguished white gentleman made a timely suggestion to me in a conversation, recently, relative one that a Negro had committee news would have spread with same way.

For instance, there are wars and rumors of wars right here in Washington, that nobody but column writing fellows like myself would get all worked up about. There are bootleg wars, "numbers" wars, bootblack wars, taxi-cab wars, hotel wars, and then there is the wordy war, or literary war that broke out between Neval H. Thomas and John T. Rhines. Of all the wars the latter is probably most amusing, if wars can be called amusing pastimes. Neval Thomas, whom you may recall, besides teaching school some place or other here in the city, finds time to dabble in public affairs as the Grand Hokus Pokus of the N.A.A.C.P. This you also may recall is an organization manned by supposedly very brainy individuals, possessing University degrees by the gallon and an unusual gift of gab. They stir up things. John T. Rhines, besides being very fat and very portly and very impressive, buries most of the people who putter out down in the southwest section. He is an undertaker by trade, but puts his finger in the political pie while not embalming people who putter out down in the southwest section. Now that you have the characters the rest is simple, too simple in fact. Dr. Thomas and Dr. Rhines fell out about the election. Dr. Thomas said that the Republicans were scoofers or words to that effect. He said it in a newspaper, Johnny said in so many words in another newspaper that Neval was a scoofer himself for saying the Republicans were scoofers. Neval saw the other paper and sent Johnny a very unbrotherly letter saying that he was whatever he thought he was and the Republicans were still not so hot in his estimation. There it is in a nutshell. The war is on. "Now is the time for every good man to come to the aid of his party," as they say in typewriting schools. The Howard Cab Company is at war with another cab company which calls itself the Howard Cab Company, but really isn't. That's what the war is about. The Howard Cab Company took the Howard Cab Company to court to make it change the color and name of its cabs. This promises to be quite a colorful affair. May the best cab win. Washington folk who like to stay up late and drink stuff that you get from fellows who talk low out of the corners of their mouths and like to seel girls show things that they shouldn't show while singing jazz songs, will have an opportunity to enjoy themselves this winter. The Oriental Gardens, which really isn't very oriental and by no means a garden, is one of those places, and the La Boheme Club, which opened its doors the other night, is another. There are other similar places scattered around that you don't go to boldly. Somebody who knows you has to take you in and incidentally somebody generally has to carry you out. Yours until probibition is a success. to the Negro in politics. I would be an ingrate, and clamish, did I not pass the suggestion on to our amiable leaders. Said my newly made white friend "Your race can never hope to get anything from either party, so long as they feel that you are a liability." This being true, I suggest that the distinguished ladies and gentlemen place their earnings from both parties in the bank on interest, and four years hence, those who have been paid by the Smith Brigade mail their checks to the Democratic National Committee to help them finance their campaign, and the Hoover Brigade do likewise. I believe such a program would bring us recognition. As the white gentleman truly said. stated some heinous crime.

"In the name of all of the gods at once, by what rule of reason 'do we expect to get recognition when we are a liability instead of an asset? The laughable thing about the campaign is to read in our colored weeklies, the article sent out by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People anent segregation in the various government departments, and then glance at another column and read an article from one of their star actors who has exonerated the Republican party, and is now chief scribe for the "jim crow" headquarters of Smith in New York City. Last week I said that there were only two of the scribes who were writing articles worth reading. I named Dr. DuBois and Dr. Kelly Miller. I am sure the parents of the northeast and northwest sections appreciate the presence of mind of Miss Beulah Boyle, pianist of the Favorite Theatre for protecting the lives of our children during the fire which caused much damage. Had it not been for her playing a dismissal march it may have caused a panic, but instead every one remained uninjured.

Paulph Matthews SASSAFRAS UDDS EZ — I hear that Mrs. Estelle Smoot, popular local club woman, has called a meeting of the Put-and-Take Bridge Club composed of the city's most distinguished biscuit destroyers to discuss plans for aiding the starving ear muff manufacturers. * * * * The radio and the I.W.W. have done much to cause the once popular ear protector into disrepute, and the conditions under which these honest laborers are forced to live are deplorable. * * * * "Many people," Mrs. Smoot declared in a statement to the Tribune, "who used to be loyal adherents of the ear muff have moved from the country and now drive second-hand cars." This, she points out, shows to what depths humanity can descend when it strays from the old established institution, so dear to our fathers. * * * * * Some use them to rest their derbies on, hook their spectacles on or places to hang imitation jewelry. "This," she declares, "is not the sole purpose of ears. They are very necessary organs, and while they have done nothing constructive, they are directly responsible for the invention and existence of the radio, the telephone and alarm clocks." Ears do not talk like the mouth or honk like the nose, but in their own silent, retiring way, they keep us informed about all the dirt among our neighbors, and in this respect are as valuable as any other part of the anatomy. Before the bobbed hair plague was visited upon the sinful world it was the consensus of coiffure opinion that women had no ears, but since the lawn mowers has been applied to feminine curls, these horrible looking hunks of raw beef are now perceptible to the naked eye. "We have exerted much energy saving our molars for the tooth paste dispensers," stated Mrs. Smoot in her elegant and choiceist language, "and now the time is ripe, when we should do something to preserve our gossip catchers." * * * * The drive has received the hearty endorsement and support of the pulpit and press. Mrs. Smoot is confident that not many moons will pass before the club will have ear muffs on both old and young and righteousness will be restored in America. "Is the ear muff destined to follow the same fate of red flannel underwear, corsets, beaver hats, and other time honored institutions, which form the very foundation upon which our formidable government has been built? "Never," she averred heatedly. "The ear muff must regain its rightful place in the hearts of man if our civilization is to endure." * * * * If planted in the spring and properly cultivated these little seeds will take root and grow into a beautiful Ear Muff bush, right in your own back yard, and by the first snow will blossom forth and produce enough ear muffs to protect the whole family.

A TIMELY POEM Dear Editor: I have been interested in the Kiddies' Korner quite awhile, at least as long as my big sister has taken the Tribune. My name is Emory Hale, I am nine years old, and I attend St. Cyprian's Catholic School and I live at 342 12th street, northeast. I am sending a selected poem all about boys. It is: Why Boys Go Astray What can a boy do, and where can What can a boy do, and where can a boy stay. When he is always told to get out of the wav? The cushions that cover that fine rocking chair Were put there, of course, to be seen and admired; A boy has no business to ever be tired. The beautiful roses and flowers that bloom. Are made not to walk on—at least, not by boys: The house is no place, anyway, for their noise. Yet boys must walk somewhere, and what if their feet, Sent out of their houses, sent into the street.

Oh, what if they should, because you and I To make round our hearthstone a place for the boys? For the touch of their fingers, the tread of their feet, They'll find it, and find it, alas, in the street, 'Mid the gilding of sin and the glitter of vice; And with heartaches and longings we pay a dear price, For the getting of gain that our Your Big C Do you want to make quicker a Do you want to give you A BOOK FOR BOYS ABDUL, by Winthrop B. Palmer: The Macmillan Company, $2.00. Abdul is an Egyptian boy of the present day and his story, though slight, will interest younger children and be suitable to read to those in the very earliest grades. It tells about Abdul's home life on his father's small farm just outside of Luxor, later his school life in Cairo where he lives in his uncle's luxurious house. It attempts to take in as many of the average nine-year-old boy's interests as is possible in such a slim volume. While the information it gives is of no great value, it is nevertheless interesting and well done, and the illustrations, while more or less commonplace, ably illustrate the text. (From Dunbar Observer) Have you ever heard a student say, "I'm not going to study much these first weeks; we only get "Checks" and "D's" at the end of the advisory? Or have you heard one say that he is going to study the first few weeks only, "just to make an impression?" Pupils who adopt either of these methods of study derive the least benefit from their schooling. It is far wiser to allot a reasonable time each night for study or, better still, know exactly how much time to spend on each subject. If a definite plan is followed throughout the semester, the best results will be obtained. ELIZA LIKES JOKES Dear Editor: I like good jokes. Here are two: "Mother, it is lunch time yet?" "Oh, no, not for another hour." "Well, then my tummy must be fast." "I see you haven't had your vacation yet." "How can you tell that?" "You don't look as if you needed one." Eliza M.

It has accepted it in such a tone of respectable confidence as would promise engagement where lust for casualties in the sport may reign supreme.

Clarence Vaughn and William Baker dropped from first place to last, Boyd Clarke and Edward Arthur dropped from first place to last, Boyd Clarke and Edward Arthur capturing first, Clarence Baker and Mercer Conway gained second, Laurence Moten and Robert Sims third.

S. W. Rutherford Month has come to be an established event wherein production records have each year been broken by the various districts and this time the Washing to o district has come into prominence by topping its last year's September production of 62,000 by more than 40,000 dollars of new business. While this represents the largest monthly production yet recorded f.r. Washington, it is regarded by the four members of this agency as merely an indication of the possibilities for the coming months. 9 The joint meeting held at the close of the drive every man voiced his appreciation for the wonderful support and impetus given the campaign by the citizens of Washington. They too, seemed to have caught the spirit behind the drive and old policy holders as well as new were interested from start to finish in the daily production, which finally passed the 100, 000 mark.

McCoy to three men, Friday. Three cases each of robbery, and several charges of housebreaking were the causes of the penalty. James Jackson, 18 years old, was sentenced to a total of 19 years in prison. He admitted sev- eral robberies and four charges of housebreaking. ‘The court — fixed the penalty in the robbery cases at 15 years each, but allowed them to run concurrently. In the house- breaking cases sentence was fixed at one year and one day each to run consecutively. James Henson, also 18 years old, received a like sentence on the rob- bery charges, but had been con- nected with only three of the house- breakings so that his total of im- prisonment is 18 years. Fleming Giles, 19 ‘years old, the third member of the trio, escaped with a 15-year sentence because he had nothing to do with the housebreaking charges. ——_.___ ARMSTRONG HIGH SCHOOL NOTES Section A7 was awarded the In- signin of the Honor Boclety for maintaining the highest percentage of Honor Rout students.

MORE NOTED GERMAN on his visit to America twenty years ago as an Exchange Professor he visited Tuskegee where he had the honor of meeting the late Booker T. Washington. This visit, together with the autobiography of the founder of Tuskegee, "Up From Slavery," had provided him with an introduction to the problems confronting the Negro in America. He stated that in addition to his interests in the affairs of state, as a member of the Reichstag, his position as a professor of history at the University of Berlin afforded opportunity for study of American life and that his visit to Howard University was part of that special study. MORE NEVAL THOMAS (Continued from page 1) for his courage and zeal in championing the manhood rights of the colored citizens. But in making a wholesale assault upon the Republian party, Mr. Thomas speaks as an individual and does not represent the Washington, D.C., branch of the N.A.A.C.P., as a whole. Other members do not share his dislike of the G.O.P. "While characterized by brilliant rhetoric, his article does not exhibit the critical acumen, which usually marks his utterances. It is eloquent, but not analytical. It gives the impression of being dashed off upon the spur of the moment, rather than having been fully prepared and carefully revised. Some of the statements needed to be toned down and some of the clauses needed to be qualified and modified." MORE PROBE URGED (Continued from page 1) on awakening at 1 o'clock and finding that her son had not returned home from taking one of the young women to a theatre feared for his safety. Told of Son's Fate At 4 o'clock, Mrs. Delaney said, the telephone rang, and a voice on the wire told her that Detective Headquarters was calling, and that the body of Roy C. Delaney had just been taken from an automobile which had tumbled over the sea wall beneath the railroad bridge, near the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Fears Foul Play Mrs. Delaney intimated that some husbands of the women with whom her son associated may have been involved in the mishap. Rry, Mrs. Delaney declared, was positively seen in company with an unidentified man, shortly after 1 o'clock, on the night of the fatal ride. For several hours after Delaney's body had been recovered police of the Harbor precinct dragged the waters in the vicinity of the death plunge, but the search was fruitless. Wound Found An abrasion, at the base of the skull of the dead man, led to the belief that there was a possibility of his having been struck in the head. No further clues, however, have been disclosed by police, who, it is understood, have not completed their investigation. Delaney has for the past nine years been a clerk in the United States Post Office. He is the son of Thomas S. Delaney, policeman attached to the Eleventh precinct. Two brothers, in addition to his mother and father, survive him. Many at Funeral Funeral services for Delaney were held from the Metropolitan Wesley Church, southwest, at 2 o'clock Sunday. In the large auditorium present were several hundred postal employees, representing every office in the city, Delaney having been actively identified with the several postal organizations, including the Post Office Mutual Welfare Association and the National Alliance of Postal Employees. MORE ZEPPELIN (Continued from page 1) black with aeroplanes. At that time he was made a laughing stock because men could not conceive of warfare in the air. His predictions came true in 1914, he declared. Born A Slave Prophet Jones was born a slave in Virginia and has been traveling warning people of disasters since 1883. He was last in the city just before the death of President Harding at which time he declared that he dreamed that he saw the city draped in mourning. He is one of eighteen children and has walked from Richmond to Washington three times preaching. The nation will have to turn from dance halls and theatres and play if the tragedy is to be averted, he declared. G.O.P. Debaters Fail To Show Up At Club A political debate was the feature of the regular monthly program at the Mu-So-Lit Club last Friday evening. Four representatives of both the Republican and Democratic parties were to participate, but three of the Republican speakers were absent. That left John R. Hawkins, chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican national committee, as the sole representative of the Republican cause in the debate. The Democratic speakers were Thomas H. R. Clarke, Charles S. Cuney, Neval H. Thomas, and Robert J. Nelson, a democratic regional director. Others who spoke included Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Kelly Miller, C. C. McDuffie, Arthur W. Mitchell, R. R. Horner, and J. T. Settle. Dr. J. Hayden Johnson presided over the debate. George Henry Murray, president of the club, presided during the impromptu speaking. MEN HURT ON TRUCK William Brown, 1029 Twentieth street, northwest, and Edward Higgins, 2220 Twelfth street, northwest, occupants of a 5-ton truck hauling cement from Bethesda to the old Georgetown pike, narrowly escaped serious injury, last Wednesday afternoon, when the vehicle tumbled over a 25-foot embankment. The accident occurred on the Rockville pike, 2 miles north of Bethesda. A defective steering gear was given as the cause of the mishap. Taxi War Looma a. Through Peter P. Richardson, attorney, the Howard Taxicab Company filed suit in the District Supreme Court, Wednesday for an injunction restraining Charles Jones, 1206 Kirby street, northwest, and W. Hodges, 1517 T street northwest, from using its name and color scheme. The Howard Taxicab Company charges unfair competition. It says that the defendants are using identically the same name and color scheme as it has adopted in order to deceive the public. Armond W. Scott, prominent local attorney, left the city early last week on a series of "stump speeches" in the interest of the Democratic National Committee. Lawyer Scott is advocating the Negro vote for the Democratic candidate, Alfred E. Smith, for president. His speaking tour will include: Huntington and Charleston, West Virginia; Cincinnati, Ohio; Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky; Nashville and Memphis, Tenn.; East St. Louis, Detroit, Chicago, and Indianapolis, Ind.

Quinan was sentenced, Monday, for the theft of a banjo he stole from Charles Morgan, of the 600 block of M street, northwest. A second case, involving the larceny of a basket of laundry, was continued to Tuesday until the court could locate and summon one of the principal witnesses. The witness failed to show up for the Tuesday hearing, so Judge John P. McMahon dismissed the charge. Quinan escaped with the single sentenced—hence the s lm ie. sentence, hence the smile. Mean Hubby Jailed For Assault on Mate The old excuse of "Judge, I was drunk and didn't know what I was doing," failed, Tuesday morning in the case of John Gibson, who had been arrested and brought before Judge John P. McMahon on a charge of assaulting his wife. Mrs. Matilda Gibson, wife of the man, told Judge McMahon that Gibson attacked her Sunday night in their home when she uphraised their 11-year-old son for answering her discourteously. She told the court that Gibson knocked her down, kicked her and then struck her with a lamp. "Sixty days away from bad liquor," said Judge McMahon. MADAME HARRISON-ASTOR Woman Robs Policeman Gets 120 Days Mary Johnson, living in the 1300 block of D street, southeast, absolutely refused to discriminate when on last Saturday night, she entered the rear yard of Charles A. Berry, white, a policeman attached to the Twelfth precinct, and stole a bucket of groceries from the ice box of the law. Mrs. Johnson, who appears to be about 48 or 50 years of age, was arrested by two fifth precinct policemen who encountered her as she came out of the alley leading up to the rear of the Berry home. The woman was carrying a bucket containing 5 pounds of beef, 2 dozen eggs, lima beans, lard, and a quantity of butter. Judge John P. McMahon sentenced her to 120 days in jail, when she was arraigned, Monday. ACQUIT WHITE MAN OF ASSAULT IN 3 MINUTES NEW ORLEANS, La.—Only three minutes were required for a jury in the criminal court district court to return a verdict of not guilty in the case of John C. Carey, a white man, who was indicted by the grand jury who is alleged to have held up Gertrude Kelly, 12, and Delores Bolds, 11 (colored), at the point of a revolver and criminally assaulted them in the tall weeds near the railroad yards in the lower section of the city. COLORED DRUGGIST BARRED IN N. C. TOWN BURLINGTON, N.C.—A privilege license to operate a drug store on Worth street has been denied Dr. J. H. Pittman and associate by the town officials. Dr. Pittman and others purchased the salvaged stock of a white drug store on Worth street, and are now in possession of the building, under lease of three years. Many are of the opinion that the granting of such a license to operate was perfunctory, not discretionary, because the druggist was properly licensed by the state. The entire white business interests in the town opposed the granting of the license on the ground that "it will be a bad day for Burlington when he gets into the better business section." A great percentage of the trade of these white business men depends on the farm workers who overrun the town stores on Saturdays. WASHINGTON WOMAN DIES IN MANCHESTER Mrs. Anna M. Dorster, formerly of this city, and mother of Jessie, Sterling and Eunie Holmes, died at her residence, in Manchester, N.H., last Sunday.

Mrs. Dorster was born in Washington 79 years ago, and until last April, had been a resident here. She was a member of the Berean Baptist Church.

Whether Broadway will stand for this or not remains to be seen. The offering traces the Negro from the courts of an Egyptian Kingdom, through the Saraha desert to the slave ships and to American shores. The slave camps, plantation days and thus to Harlem. The melodies register automatically and turn the auditors away humming. Among the outstanding performances is that of Lewis Cole and Pearl McCormack, who are brimful of personality and ability and add a warmth of youth that is refreshing. Shelton Brooks and Ed Pugh are responsible for the comedy while the picturesque touch in many scenes is furnished by Maurice Hunter. Three quartets form the nucleus of one of the best singing organizations seen here in many moons. Among the individual stars are Mabel Ridly, Sterling Grant, Pearl Darrrell, Whitney and Tutt, Jimmy Johnson, Howard Elmore, Harry Mays, and Charles Willis. There is however no attempt made to carry the show on individuals, but "Deep Harlem" as a unit is the predominating aim of the producers. DUNBAR THEATRE R. H. MURRAY, Mgr.

Just to be consistent and fill up this side of the page, I might tell what it is all about. Of course, there is nothing new under the sun, "Deep Harlem," no exception. While the production is an innovation in this modern age of revues, sketches and whatnots it is merely a revival of those stupendous musical extravaganzas of the days of Williams and Walker when good singing, good dancing and some form of continuity were essentials. "Deep Harlem" possesses all of these qualities. Perfect Picture The theme song "Deep Harlem" is a haunting melody that seems to be a cross between the old folk songs of slavery days and the jazz of the present day. The theme scenes depicting Harlem life and Harlem types are so carefully portrayed that they seem as though stepped from between the covers of Claude McKay's "Home to Harlem" or Van Vechten's "Nigger Heaven." Looking at the scene under the marque of the Lafayette Theatre one could feel perfectly at home. Blackface Out Throughout the presentation the Melodies Catchy 7th and T Sts. Northwest Phone, North 5224 With Jack Lytell The New York American and West Indian News report the following interview with Tim Moore: "Contrary to the opinion held by most professional funmakers, Tim Moore, comedian in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds of 1928," at the Liberty Theatre, believes the work of making audiences laugh not such an arduous task. "It must be remembered,' says Tim Moore, 'that audiences come to the theatre prepared to laugh. That is, they are in a receptive mood to accept anything that borders on a joke, whether it is a line or a situation. The rest, of course, is up to the comedian. If his sense of the ridiculous is pitched to a higher degree than other laugh makers, he emerges a greater comedian. The big fact, however, is that unless play-goers were psychologically attuned to accept laughs, even the smartest comedians would die a horrible death. "Comedy is a natural gift. We accept it as a fact that when an actor emerges on the professional stage as a comic he has a sharper sense of laugh qualities than the average person. The playgoer, accepting this as a fact, comes to the theatre ready to laugh. The material, therefore, must be pretty bad when a comedian fails to evoke laughter." Moore expresses an attitude different from most actor folk, who possess more conceit than ability and hold a grudge against every newspaper critic who doesn't rave over their flap doodle. The average actor makes up his mind that he is good and thinks everybody who doesn't agree with him is a jackass. PHOENIX INN CAFE 1212 U.S.T.N.W.

A Although Josephine is the most popular American in these parts, she is getting tired of it all and wants to take it easy. She is now working in a revue, "Wien, Wien—Oh, Josephine," here and is hitting on all cyclinders. Not only that, but she is doing night club work. Miss Baker is now completing a barnstorming tour which included Oslo and Stockholm. After the tour ends she will take a rest in Berlin while acting for the moving pictures and appear nightly at a cabaret. What little rest she will have then, only she knows! She said: In Berlin, she will open with her own revue in the Theatre des Westans, in November. There she will sing in the German language. Miss Baker also will open a cafe in Berlin, somewhat on the order of the one she had in Paris. The cafe will be called "Chez Josephine." KARLE COOK HERE Karle Cook, veteran actor well known locally, is a member of the "Deep Harlem" company. He was a member of the Williams' and Walker Company and understudied for the late Bert Williams. He was one of the founders of the Imperial Lodge of Elks in New York and has also written many popular numbers. He started as a chorus boy 20 years ago. MAURICE HUNTER FAMOUS MODEL, HERE After working for eleven years as an artist model, Maurice Hunter makes his initial stage appearance in "Deep Harlem." His histronic ability which has won him such fame as depicter of Negro types for both canvas, marble and bronze, serves him in good stead on the stage where his poses add the Harlem." His histronic ability which has won him such fame as depicter of Negro types for both canvas, marble and bronze, serves him in good stead on the stage where his poses add the picturesque to the stupendous production. Mr. Hunter has posed for the leading artists and sculptors of the country and is much sought after for class room work in the leading art schools of the country. The inset is a pen sketch by one of the many artists who have used him in their work. COOK WORKS ON OPERA Will Marion Cook, author and composer, has isolated himself at a farm house on the Washington Boulevard and is at work on an opera score. He is also training a chorus of 30 to broadcast on a big hook-up of radio stations soon. Musical composition is not a matter of genius, says Mr. Cook, it's painstaking work.

At that, as is intimated in movie circles, it may doubtless be the result of the success attending the Negro stage shows and the Negro literature, such as "Nigger Heaven," and "Home to Harlem." Whatever the cause, there's no mistaking its presence. And it seems to be here to stay." "Daniel Haynes started out as a minister, became a business man, and then was made an actor by theatrical friends, having been put without notice into the understudy role of Charles Gilpin in "The Bottom of the Cup." Gilpin's subsequent illness put him into the leading role. Later he understudied Jules Bledsoe in "Show Boat," and played that part four weeks while Bledsoe was ill.

Of this vogue the World says: "In a few months there will be a veritable epidemic of Negro pictures on Broadway. And they will not be anything in the nature of fly-by-night enterprises, either. They'll be regular feature-length stories of Negro life portrayed by Negro casts under the supervision of the largest producers in the industry. "Hallelujah" "Hallelujah," written by King Vidor, famed director of the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Corporatoin, will be shot in Nashville, Tenn. He left with a company including Honey Brown, Daniel Haynes, Mrs. Florence Belle DeKnight, and others, last week. Two Others Planned In a few weeks Pathe will get to work to bring "Porgy" to the screen, and there'll be only one white player in the cast. The Semler Sinema Service, a local corporation, is laying the groundwork in Harlem for a third one. Tiffany-Stahl has one in mind.

OCTOBER 19. 1928 1928 Unlucky Season for Stage Love Affairs Dan Cupid Weeps as Romances of Show Folk Are Shattered MANY PARTNERSHIPS Is 1928 a bad season for theatrical romances? Is Dan Cupid falling down on the job back stage? These and many other questions are baffling show folk as one partnership after another is dissolved and one professional team after another, known to be lovers off stage is broken up. Many a broken heart is carrying on gamely beneath a smiling face GERTIE WELLS' SOCIETY ORCHESTRA The most surprising of these affairs was the sudden dissolution of the partnership of Earl Dancer and Ethel Waters, thought by many to be the ideal couple, taking their successes and defeats together. Sat In Opposite Boxes At the opening of "Deep Harlem," Dancer's new show, Harlem was much astir when Ethel appeared in one box, with Eddie Matthews of Detroit, who rumor says is her new lover, and Earl appeared in another with Cora Green, his former partner, and whom he says will be his wife. What About "Hamtree"? This occurrence caused much speculation as to what would happen to the team of Harrington and Green. "Hamtree" Harrington and Cora were booked over the Keith Circuit for the past two years. They are continuing their pro- They are continuing their professional engagements. Paulis and Darrell The theatrical folk are also raising their brows in wonder at the announcement that Pearl Darrell, of the famous dance team of Paulis and Darrell, has joined "Deep Harlem," and her partner Laura Paulis remained in New York for the first time in two years. "We were never sweethearts," declared Miss Darrell, "just professional friends, more like sister and brother." In explaining why Paulis refused to join "Deep Harlem," she stated that the role called for him dancing in the nude which he refused to do. Juvenile Lovers One of the most beautiful romances of the stage which is attracting the attention of oldtimers is that of Pearl McCormack and Louis Cole, dancers in "Deep Harlem," who are lovers both on and off the stage. Many Teams Other famous male and female teams are John Drake and Mabel Walker, who have been veterans for years. "Chappie" Chappell and Anita Stinette, Butter Beans and Susie, and numerous others. The love affairs of Josephine Baker and her "count" was the topic of discussion on two continents. FILMLAND FOUR GOOD FEATURES AT BROADWAY Sunday and Monday, D. W. Griffith's daring picture, "Drums of Love," with Mary Philbin and Lionel Barrymore in the leading roles.

DeMille is the producer of many outstanding productions, and now the next wonder of the screen comes to you, "King of Kings." Mr. DeMille based "King of Kings" on the story of the Gospels and the life of the divine Man of Nazareth. The color and warmth of real human interest are here. The story runs the gauntlet from the redemption of the Magdalene; the cleansing of the temple; the attempt to crown Jesus as King of the Jews; the betrayal of the Lord; the capture at Gethsemane; the trial before Pilate; the catastrophe on Golgotha; the eclipse, the storm, and earthquake. An ending of wondrous sweetness is presented by the rising from the tomb of the Christ on Easter morn. It is the world's greatest screen epic. It is an epocal motion picture, that will live forever in the hearts of mankind. The first time shown in Washington synchronized, with music, sound and effects. Premiere showing of "King of Kings", Friday night, October 19, at 11:30 Admission 35 cents to all. In addition, there will be Vita- phone presentations. Programs subject to change without notice.
