No championships were involved. No undefeated records had to be protected. No particular reason why it should be so elaborately planned was evident. No exceptional exhibitions of gridiron prowess was displayed. It was just another football game, but because it was between Howard University and Lincoln a huge throng, bedecked in a myriad of dazzling colors, came from every nook and corner of the east to view it. And though the afternoon was dreary, from the weather man's outlook, it was the brightest of the 1928 football season for followers of the local school. Fans in large numbers began pouring into the mammoth stadium as early as noon and kept the attention continually on the jump until far after the game was in progress. Game Half Hour Earlier Excitement ran high and resulted in much confusion when the game was called at exactly 2 o'clock instead of at 2:30 as had been advertised. It was explained that the new hour had been stamped on the tickets after they had been printed. This was overlooked by thousands. Mad scurries for seats resulted as the game was found to be in progress.

Russell, 602 K street, northwest, a limi- ted divorce from Dr. Aaron A. Russell, Sr., a dentist, 1217 S street, northwest. Justice Bailey indicated that he would make permanent an order for temporary alimony of $17.50 a week. Religion Barrier Mrs. Russell charged her husband with infidelity, but did not seek an absolute divorce because of her religious faith. She is a Catholic and advised the court that her religious views kept her from asking for an absolute divorce. The chief witness for Mrs. Russell was Lieutenant James D. McGuide, of the vice squad. He testified that in October, 1923, he raided a house at No. 26 Fenton street, northeast, and found Dr. Russell under compromising circumstances. Justice Bailey told Attorney Armond W. Scott, who represented Mrs. Russell, that he need not prove her charges of cruelty. It would be sufficient, Justice Bailey said, to prove that Dr. Russell had misconducted himself. Together 25 years Dr. and Mrs. Russell lived together for a period of 25 years before she instituted her suit for a divorce. It was brought out in an affidavit that Dr. Russell had attempted to establish residence in Virginia by renting a four-room brick house jointly with a defendant in another divorce action in the District of Columbia. They paid $20 a month for this house.

Miss Georgiana R. Simpson, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, has asked the Board of Education to take some steps to stop it. In a letter of President Charles F. Carusi of the school board, Miss Simpson stated: "I beg leave to bring to your attention what seems to me to be a growing evil in the schools of division 10 to 13. It is the practice of soliciting from teachers funds with which to defray the expenses of testimonials, banquets, etc., to officials who are continuing in office. Intimidation "Any subordinate, seeking favor of an official or perhaps prompted to such action by the official himself, may appear as prime mover in an affair in which the enrolling of subscribers becomes a form of intimidation. "Teachers know that those not contributing are laying themselves liable to blacklist and that not only the recipient of the testimonial, but also the subordinates, are in position to retaliate upon one not joining the movement.

It was passed by the House March 29 and reported to the Senate April 2. The object of this bill is to authorize Federal appropriations for Howard University.

We cannot say that this great victory is attributable to any one source. Every voter helped. Take your share of the glory. Despite the fact that the campaign was begun on an elevated platform from which the American people were to discuss their ideals, hopes, and dreams in terms and promises of prosperity, projects, protection and peace, it ended in a fight on the sidewalks of New York, over rum, race, and religion.

BISHOP JOHNSON SUCCUMBS TO HEART ATTACK Divine Who Once Pastored Here Stricken In Philadelphia Home PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Heart disease claimed another of its victims on last Thursday evening, when Bishop J.

(Tick) Smith, former Howard University football star who has applied to the District Supreme Court for a writ of mandamus to compel President Mordecai W. Johnson to permit him to attend the medical school, was continued last Friday because counsel were engaged in other cases. Justice William Hitz set the case for hearing on December 4. Both sides are ready. The answer of the university, President Johnson and the executive committee, Dr. M. O. Dimas, Dr. J. E. Moorland of New York, Victory B. Deyner and John R. Hawkins, was filed November 21. The attorneys for these defendants are Edward H. Colladday and Joseph C. McGarraghy, Mr. Colladday is the Republican national committeeman for the District of Columbia. Mr. McGarraghy is associated with him in the practice of law. In supporting the effort of President Johnson to bar "Tick" Smith from the medical school, the defendants declare that F. D. Wilkinson, the registrar, Dr. Edward A.

ELMER SNOWDEN IN DUTCH AGAIN New York Leader Indicted by "Gertie" Wells for Non-Support Elmer C. Snowden, a banjoist in a Broadway production, was indicted here November 20 on a charge of non-support. The indictment alleges that he has failed to support his minor child, Christine Snowden, aged 7 years, since May 9. His wife, the former Miss Gertrude Wells, herself the leader of an orchestra, appeared before the grand jury against him. Indictments and arrests have followed Snowden constantly since the separation of him and his wife. Last spring when he appeared here with his orchestra after a successful engagement with Miller and Lyle's "Rang Tang," he was removed from the Murray Palace Casino by a deputy United States marshal on a warrant sworn out by his wife. The charge was non-support of his minor child. This case was settled in the office of the United States attorney. Bigamy Charged The Snowdens appeared in the courts of Baltimore sometime ago where Mrs. Snowden was accused of bigamy. At time that time Snowden refused to prosecute his wife, declaring that the charges, although true, were investigated by her brothers to prevent her from sharing in a family estate. On this occasion charges were dropped. and others are k by Mrs. Julia azine section. Photo by Seurio AN ARDENT FOOTBALL FAN is Miss Adrienne Marshall, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Charles H.

Johnson of Howard University announced Monday a grant by the Julius Rosenwald Fund of $80,000 to be expended over a period of five years, to the Department of Zoology. The purpose of the gift is to make possible the continuation of the research of Dr. Ernest E. Just, a Negro scholar and one of the world's leading zoologists, and to build up a department offering instruction to graduate students with a view to developing biologists who might take important positions in other Negro colleges. Leading Race Authority Dr. Just has been a Julius Rosenwald Fellow in Biology of the National Research Council since 1920, is an honor graduate of Dartmouth College and University of Chicago, member of many learned societies, author and editor of many publications. He is regarded as a leading authority in the world today in his special field. Dr. Just has been a member of Howard University, faculty since 1907 and Professor of Zoology since 1912. Provides Extensive Research The Rosenwald gift providing $5,000 for books and equipment over a period of five years, makes possible the extension of research work in the supply of General Physiology and Physiology of Development. This work, according to the plan of the department, will include research with the use of the ultra violet X-ray in modifying development. Execution of the plan will require additional members to the teaching staff and the establishment of graduate work. Inspired by Booker T. The Rosenwald Fund, amounting to $20,000,000 established by Julius Rosenwald. Chicago merchant, was inspired by the late Booker T. Washington. It has had for its initial object, the development of southern rural schools for Negroes. In fourteen southern states are 4,180 schools whose construction has been added by the Rosenwald Fund. The grant to Howard University for research and graduate work in zoology is a forward step toward supplying competent teachers for Negro schools and the promotion of Negro scholarship in the field of science. Visiting Hour Proves Disastrous to Medical Men When Winter Coats Disappear Thieves preyed on Freedmen's Hospital, last Sunday afternoon, and as a result, two overcoats and an expensive rug were removed from the office of Dr. L. W. Jackson, house physician. According to the story told headquarters detectives, the overcoats, one of which was a hand-tailored garment valued at close to $100, were hanging in the office at the lunch period, but that just after visiting hours they had disappeared. The rug, which lay on the floor of the waiting room adjoining the house physician's office, likewise disappeared at some time during the visiting period. The coats were the property of Dr. Hugh Simmons and Lieutenant Commander Walter Bloedorn, members of the visiting staff physicians. The rug belonged to the hospital. Mrs. Elsie Costa, switch-board operator, is said to have seen a man, woman and boy leave the hospital, shortly before the afternoon visiting hour with several large bundles in their possession. This, however, did not arouse her suspicion owing to the fact that patients who have been discharged offenses find it necessary to make several trips to the institution for the purpose of taking home property belonging to them which has been brought to the hospital during their stay. It was not until the coats and rug were reported missing that the sight of the people and the bundles had any significance for Mrs. Costa. An investigation is being conducted by members of the Central Bureau, of the Police Department. J. Murray Barnes, widely known realtor operator and perhaps the second wealthiest Negro in the city, died at his residence 1005 Seventh street, southeast, last Sunday. Death followed an illness of several weeks. Mr. Barnes was one of the largest property owners in Washington, holding interests in land in every section of the city. Death is believed to have been the direct result of a nervous breakdown which required medical attention last month, and which at that time caused him to be committed to the Gallinger Municipal Hospital. Besides his wife, two brothers and six sisters, who survive him, Mr. Barnes' loss will be mourned by a host of residents of southeast Washington whom he served in the role of philanthropist. Funeral services were held from St. Cyprian's Catholic Church. Thursday morning.

At Poli Theatre, Tuesday, it was the same story the race heard at the Auditorium two years ago, "seats for Negroes on the last floor in the gallery, or in a corner in the rear." Many Negroes attended the recital and sat where they wished, but of course they were not recognized as being Negroes, therefore, they can find very little solace in their achievement. The mass of Negroes could not purchase tickets to sit where they wished. There are many who argue that Roland Hayes is right in singing in such houses where members of his own race cannot hear him without suffering an insult—in the theatres where even he—Roland Hayes—could not purchase a ticket to his own recital except in a jim crow section of the theatre. This group point to the fabulous salary he is supposed to receive for each engagement. Is the game worth the powder? Even with the rapid growth of prejudice and segregation in America, there are still halls in many cities where Mr. Hayes could sing without the attendant embarrassments to his own people. In the early days when he was struggling, it was the Negro audiences that made it possible for him to continue with his studies by patronizing his concerts. The amount he received may have been a mere pittance in comparison to what he is receiving now, but at that time we are sure it looked mighty big to Mr. Hayes. If the money of his own people was sufficient to sustain him until he could embrace his big opportunity when it came, then it certainly seems that at least now his gratitude should manifest itself a little in their behalf. The continued appearing in jim crow houses on the part of artists like Mr. Hayes simply proves what Heywood Broun said in The Nation to be true, namely, that "Too often he [the Negro] has been willing to accept injustice tamely." Surely Mr. Hayes' sojourn in Europe has not caused him to entirely forget the tribulations of his people in America. He knows the conditions as well as any one because when he was a struggling artist, he too suffered in the same way. Therefore, in the making of his contract with his American manager and booking agency, why not insist on certain clauses going in, or else insist on singing only in houses where the color of one's skin is no bar to purchasing a ticket to sit where one desires. Tenor soloists can be race leaders just as well as politicians and preachers.

Howard, Republican National Committeeman of that State, is to face a jury of his peers on a charge of being connected with the alleged sale of Federal offices. It is expected that Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, of the Department of Justice, will personally prosecute the Government's case against Mr. Howard. In securing indictments against Mississippi political leaders, high Republican bosses stated that this was the beginning of the breaking up of the alleged sale of Federal patronage in the South. However, it has now been nearly six months since these indictments were returned against Mr. Howard and his followers, but as yet no action has been taken in any other southern state. There is evidence of a much stronger nature against men like Creager of Texas, Bean of Florida, Tolbert of South Carolina, and Slemp of Virginia, than the Government is supposed to have against Mr. Howard. Under these conditions the question naturally arises; why was Perry Howard singled out? Mrs. Willebrandt certainly owes it to the American people to answer this one question. To the mass of American Negroes, and other fair minded American citizens, it appears that Mrs. Willebrandt is going to Mississippi not to prosecute Perry Howard but to persecute him. What more appropriate statement could the presiding judge use than the words of the Christ when he said: "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone . . ." The method used in bringing about the indictment against Perry Howard is enough alone to question the good intention of those who accuse him. First, the evidence presented had been in the files of the Department of Justice for several years; second, Mrs. Willebrandt, who is personally handling the case, is entirely out of the scope of her regular duties, since she is an Assistant Attorney General in charge of Federal Prohibition enforcement; third, the indictment was obtained in the Biloxi Division of the southern district of Mississippi, while Mr. Howard lives in the Jackson Division of the southern district.

Already the lily-whites are working up sentiment against the Negro race and Mr. Howard in particular. When the case came up on the 7th of November, Mr. Howard while out of court had to be guarded for fear of his life. Certainly this is not a good beginning. If the Republican party thinks that Perry Howard can be crucified on a cross of prejudice cut by the lily-whites from the lynching forest of the South, and thereby purge themselves of their sins of omission as well as commission, they are mistaken—for the Negro race will certainly rise up and say: "In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it unto me." The eyes of the Negro will be centered on the courthouse in Jackson. Every move will be watched. Every word said will be weighed. The verdict will be carefully studied.

Call NORTH 918 Valet Service We Call For and Deliver BEST WORK FURS REMODELED and RELINED 251 FLORIDA AVENUE, N.W. FORUM WHAT IS TO BECOME OF OUR NORMAL GRADUATES? To the Editor: Older citizens of the District have for a long time viewed with amazement the apparent injustices which have developed in our school system during the last ten or a dozen years. No longer is it possible for the average girl who has by hard study and much parental sacrifice, qualified for her Normal diploma, to look forward with any reasonable expectation of appointment to a position as teacher. This was not so in that earlier day which was made notable in service for all the people regardless of push, pull or prestige, and in which character and ability were the supreme and final tests. Probably any specific instance of appointment which has seemed unfair and to have worked a hardship on the Normal graduate eligible for appointment, if brought to question, might readily be justified by some method of interpretation of the law or some appliable adopted regulation of the Board of Education. These regulations adopted in certain crises seem to have been easy of expansion to meet other situations when it has seemed desirable and when advocated with adequate influence, political or otherwise. Thus has been extended and developed a class of appointments that have to a large degree nullified the preferential status of Normal graduates. The law-making married women with certain qualifications eligible, is perhaps responsible for much of the difficulty which darkens the vista of the graduate candidate. Originally intended to permit teachers to remain in the system after marriage, its scope and benefits have been widely extended and every privilege provided to meet the exigencies of the married state. Some have preferred to marry rather than complete their normal course and growing weary or becoming disillusioned have returned to their studies, graduated and with appointment have become the bread-winner for the family. Does it seem quite fair that such an one after deliberately making her choice should be granted this second opportunity and thus diminish by so much the chance of the graduate who has consistently and courageously followed through to the end? Teaching as a profession was formerly regarded as an assurance of comfort and independence and so far from being lightly relinquished the individual usually made herself reasonably sure that such arrows as that Cupid fellow might point her way were not only honest-to-goodness messengers of love and devotion, but was wise enough to insist that they be properly, securely and adequately gold tipped as well. With these assurances she forwarded her resignation and with a pride of consecration as a priestess of the home, she took her rightful place in that glorious Valhalla of womanhood. The contribution made by the married teachers law to the social as well as moral status of the community is various, for while it has afforded opportunity, well improved in some instances by domestic thrift, it has also made notable contributions to married infelicity and delinquencies. The young teacher of today, with her assured competence seems more and more to resemble the fluttering flame of the candle from whose genial warmth and attractive glow the thriftless moth cannot be restrained and yet I do not recall an instance where the moth may be credited with adding lustre to the flame. Another angle of this married teacher complex may be found in the provision for supplying substitutes which seem to permit the widest latitude in selection of appointees. These positions have frequently been given to married women of comparatively recent residence while any number of Normal graduates are forced to remain at home, accept domestic employment or scramble for a place in some far away rural school. What is the influence or interest that makes such injustice possible? Is it Push, Pull or Prestige? Which? Mrs. Newlywed—Have you any nice slumps this morning? Butcher—Slumps? What are they? Mrs. Newlywed—I don't know, but my husband is always talking about a slump in the market, so I thought I'd try one—The Pathfinder.

Dreams—dreams from which you have rudely awakened me. You, whom I trusted and to whom I gave my all, in the midst of strife and worry of this busy world. Taught me to forget many of life's realities. I had built around our world a wall wherein we lived. A world inhabited by ourselves alone, and had visioned baby faces smiling in childish glee over our feeble efforts to amuse those reproductions of ourselves. Life, love, and laughter, and a future with you! Now, only in dreams—because the door to your heart is closed Now, only in dreams—because the door to your heart is closed. Although I beat upon it and stand on the threshold and plead, it remains steadfast. The door is bolted, and you chide me for my persistence in continuing to pound upon it. Do you not realize that I, like you, am selfish too? The opening of that door means happiness to me. These things and more—life, love, and laughter, and a future with you! Would not you knock?

LACK OF PRIDE We show that we lack personal pride every time we use the word "nigger." NEGRO_ENCYCLOPEDIA Colonization Movement.—In 1816 an agitation was started in relation to colonizing Negroes. A meeting held in the city of Washington, soon after, resulted in the formation of "The American Society for the Colonization of the Free People of Color of the United States." The formation at first failed to appeal to the freedmen who considered that the language used in referring to them "a dangerous and useless part the community" was an unmerited slur. At a gathering in the Bethel Church at Philadelphia, a protest was lodged with the member who represented the city in Congress. Congress would not sanction a colony along the Missouri but was willing for one to be started in the British colony of Sierra Leone. The British colonists objected. A site was selected further down the coast, the choice being Sherbro Island. President Monroe made it possible to deport a number of Negroes there. This is considered the first active colonization of American Negroes. OF SCALP AND HAIR CULTURE Reg.

U.S. to Intervene The bill would give the United States district courts jurisdiction to try and punish all persons par- ticipating in mob ‘attacks whenever it apeared that local sentiment made it appear that it would be im- probable that-a fair trial would be had because of sympathy of off vials or citizens with the action of the mob. ‘Two Blease Bills There are several bills pending in both the Senate and House which are inimical to Negroes. The most obnoxious are those intro- duced by Senator Coleman L. Blease, Democrat, of South Caro- lina. ‘They are in the committecs to which they were referred. \Ac- tion on them is not likely. Inter-Marriage Clause One of the measures introduced by Senator Blease is a joint reso- lution to amend the Constitution so as to prohibit the inter-marriage of the colored and white races. He proposed a twentieth amendment to the Constitution. It would be as follows: “The marriage of a white per- son with a Negro or mulatto shal be unlawful and void. Congress shall provide by law for the-pun- ‘ishment of parties attempting to contract such marriage, and for the Eee of the officers of the Ww, or minister or any other per- son qualified to perform the mar- riage ceremony, who shall attempt to or perform such ceremony.” Representative Allard H. Gas- que, Democrat, of South Carolina, offered a similar bill against the inter-marriage of white and col- cred persons in the House. Jim Crow Cars Here Senator Blease also introduced a bill to require separate accom- modations for white and. colored Passengers on street cars in the District of Columbia. This bill would make it a misdemeanor for officers or employees of the street car companies to permit white and colored persons to ride in the same car. Later Senator Blease offered an amendment to this bill providing that in case a white person desires to ride with a colored person, and the colored person does not object, the white person upon request may be allowed to ride with the colored person. Social Activities Center Around Football Classic The classic is over, yet society, already dizzy and groggy from the accompanying round of social activities which began early in the week and progressed with increasing momentum with each succeeding day, is still reluctant to return to normalcy. There are more parties, more dances, more luncheons, more teas which will keep the clock of pleasure ticking up to the very hour of midnight Sunday before the knell of the most brilliant of all Thanksgiving holidays is sounded. Private parties were in order as early as Monday. Sorority and fraternity houses were constantly the scenes of merrymaking as out of town visitors began to pour in. The Chi Delta Mu Club and their guests danced at the Casino Wednesday night while the Bachelor-Benedict tripped the light fantastic toe at the Colonnade.

THREE HAPPY ONLY SIX MONTHS SAYS WIFE Mate Bought Her Only One Hat During Married Life Charging cruelty and non-support. Mrs. Florence Craney, through Attorney Charles E. Robinson, filed suit in the District Supreme Court last Friday for a limited divorce from Fred Craney, 1718 Fifth street, northwest, a Government Printing Office employee. Mrs. Craney says in her bill of complaint that she enjoyed a happy married life for a period of six months. Then the attitude of her husband changed to one of intolerable cruelty, she alleges. Only One Hat During the entire time they lived together as man and wife, she states, he bought her only one hat at the price of $1.98. Her husband promised her after the court had passed an order in a previous suit instituted by her requiring him to pay her $30 a month, that he would contribute regularly to her support, Mrs. Craney says. He has failed to keep his promise, she tells the court. He has often told her that if she wanted food and clothes she should go out and earn money with which to buy them, she says.

Prayer Meeting. --- MISS BURROUGHS TELLS HOOVER (Continued from Page 1) The injection of the race issue into the campaign raised two questions: First—Did many Negroes bolt the Republican party? Second—What does the Negro want politically? My answer to the first question is, "No." However, it is true that a larger number of colored people voted the Democratic way this year than ever before. One of the main reasons for this deflection is that the race is actually chafing under national injustices and the Republican party is justly charged with some "sins of omission" and dereliction of its patriotic duty. My answer to the second question is, the Negro wants his rights as an American citizen and not simply jobs for a few politicians. That's what he wants. He also wants general relief from demoralizing evils, rather than personal rewards for party fealty. He will therefore call upon the Republican party to: all of its amendments. 2. Appoint a national, non-partisan, bi-racial welfare commission whose duty it will be to make unbiased investigations and practical suggestions that will give relief from: (a) Disfranchisement. (b) Unequal accommodations in travel. (c) Segregation in Federal Departments. (d) Race discrimination in Civil Service appointments. (e) Discrimination in relief work in times of floods and disasters. (f) Unequal opportunity in times of peace, to learn the arts of war in army, navy, and agiral service. 3. Appoint two colored women, specialists, to work in the Children's Bureau and the Woman's Bureau, the former for child welfare and the latter for industrial and economic welfare among women. Both positions would require highly trained women and their work among colored women and children would parallel the work that is being done by the heads of these bureaus, primarily for white children and women and incidentally for colored children and women. Conditions and needs among the children and women of the Negro race justify these appointments. Negro politicians need not try to further deceive the Republican party by trying to make them believe that a recordership, registership, ministership, assistantship, or any of the usual "sop" appointments will be accepted by the Negro race as substitutes for simple justice and equal opportunity. At the proper time and in the proper way the men and women who are seeking relief for the masses from the injustices inrain listed, will prepare their case, secure the backing of every Negro organization, political and non-political, and lay their petition before Congress and the Chief Executive and seek and work for redress. In preparation for more effective action, the Negroes throughout the country should keep all of their political clubs intact, hold regular meetings, carry on a campaign of education and enlightenment and thereby build up a vigorous morale and be ready for the "fire-works" four years from now. The best advice to give our people, politically, is organize and keep organized, study men and measures, put down every "sim of emission, or commission," get every congressman's number—know what he is saying and how he is and I Streets, N.W. askins, E pastor SERVICES: Missionary Circle, first Sunday, Communion, third Sunday, 3 p.m. Prayer Meeting, Thursday, 8 p.m. Preaching, Thursday, 8 p.m. for the Stranger."

The three faced changes of grand larceny in connection with theft of two automobiles.

It was in this latter car that officers of the Fifth precinct apprehended the trio, and, according to their testimony, found Johnson driving. They told the court that Johnson jumped from the car and made his escape. He was later taken into custody, and identified by his two accomplices. Judge Given fixed the bonds at $1,500 and $1,000, respectively, in each of the two cases. Many Negroes Arrested In Ax-Murder Probe MANKATO, Minn.—A Negro giving his name as James A. Davis, of Denver, was arrested by Chief of Police Jacob Hilgers, here today, questioning about Omaha ax murders. This makes about the sixth Negro worker arrested "on suspicion." Davis maintained he had been in Minneapolis and was on his way to Denver. He exhibited two pawntickets and an express receipt, dated Minneapolis, November 19 and 20, in proof of his claims. The ax murderer of Omaha has killed three people and wounded two others so far and is still at large in spite of the fact that the entire Omaha police force has been mobilized in the hunt for him. voting, and "meet him at Philippi." At the same time do not forget to repudiate all of the Negro political leaders who drag around begging for jobs for themselves and never contending for justice and opportunities for the race. They are more responsible for our political undoing than the whites. Do not let them out. There is one thing that we do not want to see again—"Jim Crow" National Republican Headquarters. This year we had three. Ye gods, what next? A duplication of machinery, a place for Negroes to disagree on everything from the personnel and modus operandi to the postage stamp and sniff of paper, which they cannot get without an order. We are calling upon the Republican party to break up segregation in the Departments and in the same breath we ask the National Republican Committee—the machine which puts the party in power—to give us three "Jim Crow" headquarters. "Consistency, thou art a jawel." The breaking up of the "Solid South" regardless of whether we believe it now or not, and the building up of a two-party government in the South is a move in the right direction. As long as the South remains a government of white men, by white men, and for white men instead of a government of the people, by the people, and for the people, the Negro in the South will never enjoy his rights as an American citizen nor receive anything like just consideration in the distribution of funds from the taxes which he pays for public education, protection and general welfare. With the ballot in his hand he has a weapon of defense, protection, and expression. Both parties will need his vote and he will learn to use it wisely. Regardless of the cost to the Negro race of a few offices which we have held in the South as political rewards for party fealty, the gain to the race and to the Negroes of the South in a two-party government will be worth transcendently more than all the jobs which are given a few Negro politicians who have not been able and who would never be able to build up a Republican: party in the South and thereby deliver their race from political bondage. Only one Negro, Bob Church, has really been able to build up a fighting organization in his state. The only hope for a semblance of even-handed justice for the Southern Negro is in a two-party government. It is an American ideal and without two parties this country is not a democracy. It is half democracy and half oligarchy. On with the two-party government in the South or out with some of the representatives in Congress who ride into office on the backs of Negroes whom they use as political ponies. The Negro gave his vote to Herbert Hoover, because Mr. Hoover stood four-square on the strong platform of the Republican party and pledged equal opportunity to all, regardless of faith or race. The American Negro asks nothing more and will be satisfied with nothing less. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1928 L. E. MURRAY & SON FUNERAL DIRECTORS 2105 12th St., N.W.

Holsey, secretary of the Colored Voters Division of the National Republican Committee during the campaign just ended, the men of Tuskegee Institute, the Veterans' Hospital and the community, one hundred strong, welcomed him home again at a banquet in Dorothy Hall here Thursday evening. "If the Negro is to be a real factor in the Republican Party," Mr. Holsey said, addressing the gathering, "he will have to cease being a mendicant; he will have to put something into the campaign and not merely take from it; he will have to contribute to the campaign funds as other people do, rather than merely receive, handouts from the budget; he will have to obligate the party to him after election day." MAN JAILED; WOMAN GOES FREE IN THEFTS Charged with larceny of five dollars in money from George Hartgraves, a friend, William Matthews was sentenced to serve 90 days in jail by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, Tuesday. Della Holland, named in the warrant as an accomplice was exonerated. The two were alleged to have been in an automobile in which the complainant was also an occupant. When Hartgraves got out of the car, he is said to have found his pocketbook gone. The woman proved a strong alibi, and with the helpful testimony of her husband was found to be innocent. REP'RT RACE PROGRESS AT KENTUCKY MEET LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Many evidences of progress were reported at the annual State Interracial Conference in this city last week, and the director and executive committee were instructed to continue their efforts for better educational, health and transportation facilities for the colored people of Kentucky. An elaborate two-day program was carried out, with an opening address by Governor S. D. Sampson, followed by the report of the director, Dr. James Bond, and addresses by Prof. W. H. Fouse, of Lexington, L. N. Taylor, of the State Department of Education; Miss Maude L. Harrison and Mrs. Jane Bond, of Louisville; Mrs. S. P. Steele, of Paris, and Dr. W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta.

It will mark the twenty-second time that Hampton has sent her eleven against the gray and steel Pawning Panther eleven of Union University when they meet on Armstrong Field for their annual game. Each year both teams march up to the gobbler day with impressive records to present and this year seems to be no exception, although Hampton has not lost a conference game this season. The records show that Union University lost to Bluefield Institute, 31-7; to A.&T., 19-12; and Virginia State College, 12-0. The records also show that Union has won from Lincoln University, 6-0; from St. Paul, 19-0; and from North Carolina State. There was one tie between Union and Virginia Seminary.

AUTO REPAIRING The Shop of Personal Service AUTHORIZED BRAKE SERVICE 1702 13th St., N.W. Washington, D.C. BALTIMORE — Two small sized riots that required police intervention to quell nearly marred the Monumental City football classic when Howard University was held to a scoreless tie by the Morgan College eleven, here Saturday. Disappointment on the part of Howard adherents in the failure of the big blue and white machine to register at the end of the first half was thought to have been the incentive of the first outbreak when the Howardites swarmed the field and attempted to gain possession of a victory coffin being paraded by Morgan rooters. The struggle lost much of its jovility when fists began to fly and a squad of patrolmen were required to clear the field. Payne and West Peeved Another outbreak threatened when Payne, Howard quarterback, smashed an official after the calling of a foul and later Charles West, Howard coach had to be dragged from the field by members of his team as he attempted to make trouble in a fit of temper. The end of the game was the occasion of another fan outbreak when the male members in both grandstands rushed toward the center of the field and black eyes, bruised fists and bloody noses were again the order of the day. Hostilities lasted for ten minutes before police argumented by reserves were able to restore peace. Game Hard Fought The game was hard and closely contested throughout. Both teams had opportunity to score and both held at the crucial moments. Moughness on the part of Howard cost them 80 yards and possibly the game. The game was practically a kicking dual, and Lawless of Morgan consistently out-kicked his rival. Morgan gained over 100 yards all told on the exchanges. Both teams had good defensives against aerial attacks and both lines held well against running plays. Morgan on 2-Yard Line The high spots of the game came in the first and fourth quarters. In the first quarter Howard had first down on Morgan's eight-yard line, but the Morgan lion proved to be a stone wall and four plays gained less than six yards. In the final quarter Morgan made first down on Howard's fifteen-yard line through interference with a pass. Then Morgan made first down on Howard's five-yard line by three beautiful slides off tackle by Frazier. Frazier carried the ball to the two-yard strip, but here Morgan was penalized twenty-five yards for clipping and the threat THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER 30. 1928 COMMUNITY READY FOR OPENING COACH The Baltimore Scholastics, composed of a large number of the 1928 Athenian basketball team, will be the hosts of the Community Yellowjackets in Baltimore, next Friday night. This will be the first appearance of the Community combination of the 1929 season. The Orange and Black machine, having been in strenuous preparatory drills for the past month, promise to be ready when the whistle blows for the initial toss-up of their coming season. This year the Community team is presenting one of the strongest aggregations in the history of its existence. A return to the team of several veterans has materially strengthened the combination. The squad of ten men, selected as the 1929 team includes: Zig Johnson, Jimmie Lee, Brother Gray, Slim Thomas, Tommie Jackson, Speck Lee, Sam Lacy, Soup Turner, Kid Given and Nute Jackson. The Community quint will be seen in action in the opening game of the local court season. The contest booked for December 18, will present the Scholastics, the Monumental City's newest floor combination, to the Washington public. LIVINGSTONE WINNERS OVER N.C. EAGLES SALISBURY, N.C.-Under overcast skies that threatened rain every moment, the Livingstone Bears nosed out the North Carolina College Eagles in an exciting game, 7-0, here last Saturday. The Eagles were outplayed in every department of the game but they seemed to stiffen at the opportune time and on occasions when the Bears were within the ten-yard line, they were repulsed. It was not until the last quarter that they were able to put the winning tally across. Atlanta-Clark Battle To Former 6-0 The "Thousand Backs" of Clark University could not withstand the fierce blasts of the Hurricane from Atlanta University with "A Thousand and One Backs," and a line worthy of recognition. These teams of Atlanta met at Spiller Field, Saturday afternoon, to settle the question of the city championship, and the Crimson Hurricane of Atlanta University swept to a 6-0 victory, keeping her Conference record clean, and also taking possession of the beautiful trophy offered by Dr. R.

The attempted extra by Cotton failed.

PEOPLE'S BUG STORER "All Over Town" Peck's Bad Boy—Wilbur Wallace—deposed captain of the Armstrong Technical High School football team, moved from his position at center into the backfield in the last quarter of the annual Interscholastic Championship game, Monday afternoon. The move proved to be slow death for a fighting Dunbar High School team which, for three quarters had outplayed, outgamed and outfought the aggregation which had been picked as the heavy favorites to win by a large margin. The final score was 6-0. Wallace, a rather mischievous character at his school, in trouble with his teachers at one moment, but out of it before he is in deep, was crowned the hero, and rightly so. For it was Wallace whom Coach E. P. Westmoreland directed to change from his position at the pivot to a place among the ball-carriers, and it was Wallace, who after having made the change proceeded to show his backs how the oval can be taken over for a touchdown. A process which they had abandoned with hopelessness. The former captain, elected at the close of last season but deposed because of some misdemeanor, went into a position entirely new to him, and acquitted himself very impressively. He ran to the right and to the left of the Red and Black line with equal effect, and it was solely through his performance that the dope was not completely upset by a Poet victory. Taking the ball on his own 40-yard mark, Wallace by a series of delayed bucks, peeled off successive runs of 28, 12 and 20 yards, the last of which put the pigskin behind the last white chalk mark for the 1928-29 gridiron title. Charlie Pinderhughes, Dunbart tutor, found Westmoreland's move in taking a man, never known as anything but a center, from his line and placing him in the backfield, to be such a surprise that he was lost as to how he should combat it. His charges, who had so creditably upheld the standards of the First Street institution through the whole of three quarters, were nonplused. As a result, Wallace was unmolested as he took the direct pass from center, feinted a pass to a back charging one side of the line, pivoted and then slid through the opposite side of the defense. Due to the ineligibility, through scholastic difficulties, of a large number of the Dunbart players, Coach Pinderhughes had only 12 men whom he could use without forfeiting the contest to their rivals. An agreement was reached prior to the start of the game whereby the Red and Black team conceded the victory through forfeiture. It was played, however, to prevent any unpleasant experience with those who had purchased tickets in advance of the affair. DABNEY IMPRESSIVE IN STATE VICTORY RUSSELL FIELD, Lawrenceville, Va. - Playing seemingly inspired football, St. Paul's stubborn and aggressive machine rolled back the great Virginia State College football team for two quarters here today, but the waves finally parted and Overby and Dabney marched through to a decisive 12 to 0 victory. The veteran Overby and the new recruit Dabney played the leading roles saving their team from the Tiger menace, while Gaither, Powell and Rucker shared in Virginia State's memoriable triumph over her most formidable foe. TUSKEGEE SCORES SECOND WIN OVER KNOXVILLE KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Knoxville College lost her first game of the season here today to Tuskegee Institute by a score of 15-0, in one of the hardest fought grid battles of the season. This game, the second of the season, with Tuskegee, has no bearing on the conference standings of either team. Despite the decisive score Knoxville gridders displayed some. good football tactics and more than once played the visitors off their feet. ST. PAUL EMERGES FROM CLA.A. CELLAR RUSSELL FIELD, Lawrenceville, Va.—St. Paul's 12 to 6 triumph over North Carolina State College here last Saturday was an automatic dissolution of the St. Paul-N.C. State C.I.A.A. cellar partnership. A record crowd of enthusiastic spectators witnessed the clash which was featured by veteran performance, genuine sportsmanship, and splendid officiating.

The full power of the Tiger team which gives promise of a great gridiron machine was launched against the Maroons and it was the sustained driving power of the Tiger attack that wore away the hopes of victory of the Morehouse team. The sensational runs of the afternoon were turned in by Stevenson, Tuskegee's brilliant backfield ace, who time after time wiggled through for long gains.

Mrs. Wilson-Green, sponsor of the recital informed the Tribune that back seats only were available for colored music lovers which accounted for the small attendance of Negroes to the recital.

Wipe away the burnt cork, remove the tacky skirts of the black face wench character which has made him famous and under it all you will find a rather likeable little man in the person of Andrew Tribble who played the Howard Theatre last week in his first starring vehicle, "Ophelia Snow from Baltimore." Mr. Tribble is one of the pioneers in this type of entertainer. He conceived his character when playing in the "Shoe Fly Regiment," headed by Cole and Johnson when the Negro musical comedy, was just coming into its own. This show, Mr. Tribble declares, was the only race offering that ever actually played on Broadway before or since. Others have been on streets which today are classed as Broadway due to their close proximity and the ever spreading scope of the bright light district, but none have been on the big street itself. Prior to his taking to the stage Mr. Tribble was a follower of the races, having been born in Richmond, Kentucky, where training race horses was a very important industry. Mr. Tribble's diminutive statue made him well fitted for this line of work. He deserted the tuft, however, and quit the Blue Grass state with the Piccaninny Band and ever since has depended on his talents as a female impersonator for a livelihood. The engagement at the Howard last week recalled the fact that he was a member of the first company to open the old T street house here more than eighteen years ago. Others in the company were S. H. Dudley and Ada Overton Walker. Man Drowns Trying To Escape White Thugs NEW ORLEANS, La., Nov. (CNS)—When he jumped into the river here on Monday to escape a group of white thugs, who were attacking him, Manny Simpson, 23, was drowned. Simpson was "stepping out for a good time" on the pleasure boat "American," on which there was a dance and harbor trip, when a young white gangster insulted his partner. When Simpson protested, he was attacked by the group of white thugs, and a free-for-all ensued. Simpson attempted to run away, but was pursued by his assaults. His pursuers caught up with him at the rail, and he jumped overboard into the water. His body has not been recovered. No arrests were made.

TALENT WON EUROP'AN HONEYMOON FOR STAGE NEWLY- WEDS PRETTY FLO BROWN AND CECIL RIVERS SAILED FOR LONDON ENGAGEMENT AFTER WEDDING A honeymoon in Europe is looked upon by the average American citizen as a luxury to be enjoyed only by the rich. The truth of this assumption is blasted by diminutive and pretty Flo Brown who with her husband, Cecil Rivers, who played the Howard Theatre, last week, enjoyed such a trip although they make no pretense at belonging to the millionaire class. Miss Brown, who retains her maiden name although wedding bells rang for her and her partner husband four years ago, declares that one week after their marriage sheailed for England as members of Leonard Harper's "Plantation Days" Company which played the Empire Theatre in Leichster Square, London. She was only 19 then. Started With Miller Miss Brown declared that she is a native of Philadelphia and made her stage debut under the tutelage of Irwin C. Miller. While appearing in his productions she met Mr. Rivers, whose silvery tenor voice has made him much in demand in musical comedies, and their romance culminated in the European honeymoon as members of the Harper Company. Since then they have appeared in "Broadway Rastus," "Liza," "Dinah," both of which played on Broadway, Brown Skin Models and in many revues and night club floor shows. After the engagement at the Howard they returned to New York to enter rehearsal for a revue being planned for a Broadway cabaret.

Otto Huiswoud, who opened the meeting as chairman, declared that the Negro crew of the Vestris, many of whom were present on the platform, were being made the scapegoats to cover up the criminal negligence of the Lamport & Holt Company in the loss of 111 lives. Firemen Without Food Joe Bauxill, Negro fireman from the Vestris, told the audience he had worked on the ill-fated ship as fireman since 1926. When the ship went down he had nothing to eat for two days because of the disorganization chargeable to the officers. He and his fellow firemen were tied in the stokehold the day the ship sank. He broke his bonds. They waited for orders, but no orders came. The officers seemed to be in a daze. When he went on deck to see what was being done, an engineer ordered him below. Only five minutes before the ship went down did the Negroes in the stokehold get out. It was barely in time. Bauxil tried to get in lifeboat No. 4, but that boat could not be lowered. Just as the ship was settling down he jumped into the sea, held on to a piece of wreckage for over twenty hours when he was finally picked up in an unconscious state by the Wyoming. Pays Tribute to Heroes Richard B. Moore, national organizer of the American Negro Labor Congress, made the main speech of the evening. He opened his address with a glowing tribute to the survivors of the crew. "The crew has been slandered as nondescript, panicky and in-experienced by the oppressor press," he declared. "Officials of the Lamport & Holt Lines have attempted to place the responsibility for the enormous loss of life on these black workers who stuck to their posts until they were almost drowned like rats in the bunkers in the bowels of the ship. "They furnished the steam that sent out the S.O.S. which had been delayed by the captain in the interests of the Lamport & Holt Line because of the expense of salvage involved. And they even saved the white engineer who had ordered them below to drown in the flooded bunkers. Moore rapped those white passengers who, saved by the heroism of the Negro crew, had yet joined in denouncing these men and referring to them as "niggers." Many of these rescued white passengers thought it terrible to have to spend a night in a boat on the open sea with "niggers"—even though they owed their parasitic lives to these Negroes. TRASH COLLECTORS COLLECT JAIL TERMS Evenly Severed Rope Proves Waterloo for Men Accessed James Ross and Bernard Brooks, two trash collectors, were sentenced by Judge Ralph Given to 30 days in jail in default of payment of a $25 fine, last Saturday morning. The two men were accused of the theft of a rabbit dog, belonging to Arthur Moore, white, of 115 E street, southeast. According to the testimony of the complaining witness, the two men cut the rope with which he had his dog tied in the rear of his home, and led him off. The defendants, in denying that they stole the dog, declared that the animal broke his bonds when they came down the alley in the act of collecting trash, and then followed them. The rope, produced as evidence, proved to the court that beside being too thick for the dog to break, was severed with such evenness that it must have been cut.
