A comprehensive study, made prior to the release by the Bureau of Education, proves that Negroes of the country are demanding more and more college and university education. Of the 79 institutions included in the survey, 77 were doing college work as compared with 31 ten years ago. The enrollment of Negro students in those institutions totaled 13,860, as compared with 2,132 in 1917, a gain of 550 per cent. The report of the Secretary of the Interior points out trat for every 10,000 Negroes in the United States, 15 are attending college, as against 90 for every 10,000 whites. "With five exceptions," the report said, "the colleges included in the study were located in Southern States, indicating a widespread sentiment in the South in favor of Negro higher education. Twenty-two of the institutions were operated by States and supported through public taxation. The bureau's study also shows that the Negroes themselves have not been remiss in providing higher education, 17 of their colleges being owned, administered and financed by members of the race." Women of Sa Suicide on Mrs. Marie Holland Dies from Asphyxiation While Mrs. Jennie Holland May Recover The similarity in the names of two women who tried suicide, one successfully, baffled the police here Monday morning. They were Marie and Jennie Holland Mrs. Jennie Holland living at 244 Bryant street, was found in a serious condition after taking iodine poison and was rushed to the Freedmen's Hospital where she remained. She refused to tell the cause of her attempt on her life. Ill Health Blamed Despondency because of ill health is believed to have been the cause of the suicide of Mrs. Marie A. Holland, 49 years old, of 2517 Georgia avenue, ninthwest, at her home, last Friday night. Mrs. Holland, who was found lying on her bed with the gas jets open, is said to have been in the constant care of a physician for more than a year. Little hope had been held for her complete recovery from the ailment. Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt, notified, issued a Miss Carrie Rogers Says White Daily's Account Was Malicious A statement made by the Washington Post (white) newspaper in describing the man who on test Saturday night, wielded and robbed Miss Carrie E. Rogers, of 1347 Euclid street, northwest, as she was walking on Q street between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets as a Negro, was branded as "unjust, untrue, and malicious," by the victim in an interview with a Tribute reporter, Wednesday. The paper, which declared that a Negro of below average height and weighing about 145 pounds was being sought in connection with the crime, not only described her assailant without authority, Miss Rogers said, but violated her confidence in it. She said that she emphatically denied that it was a addition told the Post reporter who Negro who attacked her, and in phoned her between 11 o'clock and midnight. Saturday, that he was not to say that she had identified the robber as white or black. Miss Rogers is a New Englander by birth. She hails from the state of Connecticut, and is a friend of the Negro race. She told the Tribune representative that it was far from an intention of hers that the report that it was a colored man who robbed her should be published. The man approached her from behind, cut the strap of her purse and escaped with such rapidity that she was unable to ascertain to what race he belonged.

Palmer is also facing charges of carrying a concealed weapon and intent to use it, to which he plead not guilty and demanded a jury trial. According to the testimony, the defendant entered the home of the woman and began to curse. She protested against his conduct, and when she did so, Palmer, picked up a large stick and struck her in the head, necessitating hospital treatment. Palmer refused to make a statement.

Takes Hand A jury in Criminal Division 1, Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy, presiding, found Philip Medley, sweetheart slayer, guilty of murder in the second degree, Monday morning. Medley was convicted of the shooting to death of Florence Glascoe, of an address in Pierce street, northwest. The murder occurred in May following an argument over some money. Medley, according to the story, accused the woman of having taken $9 from his pockets. This she denied, and Medley, purported to have been drunk, shot her. The verdict carries with it a penalty of not less than 20 years in the penitentiary. The prosecution was conducted by Assistant United States Attorney William H. Collins. NEGROES SPEND QUARTER MILLION ANNUALLY ON FOOTBALL 'CLASSICS' How much money do Negroes spend annually on Thanksgiving football game classics? This year found four big games in progress representing an expenditure of a quarter of a million dollars, enough to provide a four-year course in higher education for thousands of unfortunate and ambitious youths, build and equip new dormitories, science halls and libraries in several institutions or maintain a creditable endowment for .my struggling school that is now forced to send monkey shine quartets First expose of the officers and roster of the "Down With the Howard-Lincoln Club," published this week. Vol. VIII, No. 28 LETTERS AND GIFTS FIGURE IN SUIT Policeman's Wife Says She Found Engraved Cuff Links from Married Woman in Mate's Pocket Justice Jennings Bailey in equity court No. 1 last Friday ordered Louis C. Stevenson, a policeman attached to No. 2 precinct, to pay $50 a month temporary alimony to his wife, Mrs. Amelia Stevenson, who is suing him for a limited divorce. In her bill of complaint Mrs. Stevenson charges that her husband drove her away from their home October 24, threatening to kill her if she did not leave. He denies this charge. Interested in Another Their marital troubles began in September, 1925, says Mrs. Stevenson. Her husband began falling behind in the payment of his bills. She learned he was interested in another woman, she states, and in July, 1927, by his own admissions she found out he was keeping company with a married woman by the name of Betty Mae Berry. Letters and Cuff Links She took from his pockets two letters written by Mrs. Berry to her husband. She also secured possession of a pair of link cuff buttons, which she claims Mrs. Berry gave her husband.

Howard and his co-defendants are scheduled to go on trial here in this division of the United States district court for the southern district of Mississippi Monday morning. United States Judge Edwin R. Holmes will preside at the trial. Howard, E. L. Patton, S.D. and A. M. Redmond, and Scott Hubbard, the latter white, are charged with conspiring to violate the statute prohibiting the purchase and sale of Federal offices. Conspiracy Charged The indictment charges that Howard as the Republican national committeeman for Mississippi controlled Federal appointments in this State and that he and his co-defendants conspired to sell and did sell the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi to A. P. Russell. In furtherance of this conspiracy, the indictment charges, Howard received from Russell the sum of $1,500, for which he brought about his appointment as United before the committee two weeks ago. $5.400 for Stadium Let us first eliminate the actual cost of the game itself, which amounted to $5,400 for the stadium alone if we allow the owners 20 per cent of the gate receipts, as per agreement, supposing that the 18,000 spectators paid $1.50 each which totaled $27,000. Assuming that 10,000 of the 18000 spectators were from out of town, which is putting it mildly when we recall that the game has a greater attraction for the alumni of the two schools, who are (Continued on page 2) Mother and Daughter Pitted Against Sister in Court SHORTAGE IS HINTED IN EXPULSION Floyd C.

Tuesday night, 300 members voted on the action.

His expulsion automatically makes this office vacant also. There is little possibility that the ousted officer will appeal his case because the constitution provides that an expelled member's case cannot come up for reconsideration until the expiration of one year.

Classic JOYRIDE IS ENDED WITH MURDER "Would Rather be Dead Than Tried," Wails the Leader of "Red Devils" in Suicide Try A wild joyride, a murder, and an attempted suicide followed in rapid succession when five youths all of good families stole an automobile following the big Howard-Lincoln game and painted the town until their pleasure spree was brought to an abrupt close with the slaying of Philbert H. Binter, white, manager of a gas station, Thursday The youthful slayers whose ages range from 17 to 22 are James Flinty Crawford, 17 years old, 332 Florida avenue, northwest, Milton Edward Terry, 18, a bootblack, and Carl Manafield Terry, 22, brothers, both living at 035 T street, northwest, and Benjamin Aulick Branson, 294 Florida avenue, and a fifth boy is still large.

THE NEGRO AND THE PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Calvin Coolidge, the President of the United States, in his last annual message to Congress before retiring from office, saw fit to devote two hundred and eight words to "The Negro." Starting out with the time-worn platitudious recanting of the history of the Negro for the past sixty-five years, he winds up a general recommendation that "such immediate remedial legislation as the federal Government can extend under the Constitution" he passed by Congress. Although he states that "The colored people have been the victims of the crime of lynching," he fails to even recommend that a Federal anti-lynching law be passed. In view of the record of Calvin Coolidge in his dealings with the Negro for the past seven years he has been President, his message to Congress is about what could be expected. Unless a miracle happens between now and the fourth of March, next, he will go out of office with a record of having done less for the Negro race directly or indirectly than any of his predecessors. Not even did the brief but hectic administration of Warren G. Harding equal Coolidge's for its coldness and disinterestedness to the race who's condition practically made the Republican party possible. In one sentence the President stated that "Every encouragement should be extended for the development of the race." The question naturally arises here, what has he, Calvin Coolidge or his immediate advisors done to encourage this development? Not even the President of the United States can pass laws per see, but so far as encouraging the development of the Negro, President Coolidge does not need more laws, he already possesses enough power to do a whole lot on his own accord. As President he can issue an executive order abolishing all forms of racial segregation in the Government service. He could order the Inter-State Commerce Commission to investigate the operation of jim-crow cars in the South which is in direct violation of the inter-state traffic laws; he, as commander of the Army and Navy, could see that Negro soldiers who have bared their breasts on a hundred battlefields, in defense of this, their country, receive the full and proper promotions due them; he could nominate Negro youths from the District of Columbia for entrance to Annapolis and West Point; he could order an investigation of the abuse of the use of the photograph in making selections from the Civil Service list for appointments; he could insist that Negroes in all branches of the Federal Government service get the promotions their years of faithful service entitles them to; he could order the Marines from Haiti; he could give appointments to worthy representatives of the Negro race in all branches of Governmental service. In short, there are many ways Mr. Coolidge could start this encouragement business righ in his own executive office. If Mr. Coolidge is sincere in his message about wishing to give the Negro encouragement, he has greater opportunity and power than any other person in America. If he does not set the example, then his leadership is a failure. Without sincerity, nothing even the President of the United States says, carries any weight. It appears as though Mr. Coolidge is guilty of the very thing he says in his message is being abandoned, "Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends."

The public will of the people, expressed at the ballot box a month ago must be held up while this repudiated house and Senate have their last say. Questions of national importance will, no doubt, be taken up at once, but many of them will probably be found on the unfinished list when the gavel falls on March 4th.

It is always in place—It brings out the softness and sheen." None appreciate the results of Nelson's Hair Dressing more readily than beautiful girls, who have found that it keeps their hair beautiful and easy to arrange in the newest styles. NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1928 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL It is with some degree of modesty, which I will confess is a very rare quality among us column writing fellows, that I announce that I have been elected president, vice-president, and member of the D.W.T. H.L.G.C. In case you are grossly ignorant of this association, I hasten to explain that these letters stand for the "Down with the Howard-Lincoln Game Club." Honestly you would be surprised to know the large number of people who are seeking membership and are willing to back me with their money and moral support, mostly moral, to wage a strendous drive on this growing evil which is sapping the very vitality of our fair city. A suit case full of petitions which I shall present to the promoters of this calamity are signed by boy students in both institutions. They raise the objections that due to the advent of the raccoon coat a male habitulent which few can possess and pay their tuition at the same time, the "classic" is more a thing of embarrassment than a pleasure. It is decidedly more difficult, they point out, for a college boy to wring a fur coat out of a big butter and egg woman than it is for a girl to cry a fur coat—or whatever method they use—out of a big butter and egg man, and the boys naturally suffer by comparison. Instructors in both institutions (I have been asked to withhold names for fear they will lose their jobs) have complained that practically two months of the school year are wasted because of the big game. Three weeks ahead of time it is the topic of discussion. The week of the game is a total loss and it takes the students a whole month after to sober up. This they complain takes them right up until Christmas when they all go or and get soused again. Local hotel men and restaurant operators are loud in their denunciation of the game. Coming on Thanksgiving Day as it does, many people desire a turkey dinner. With so many strangers in town a couple of turkeys don't go very far and they are forced to carve thin slices and charge such big prices that their conscience bothers them for the remainder of the year. The money they get out of it isn't worth the worry they contend. Furthermore it claim that Washington being a non-productive city finds its resources greatly reduced after the classic because perfect srangers eat up a lot of the food that was stored up to feed Washingtonians throughout the winter. People who formerly ate at home are therefore forced to patronize the public eating places—and there is nothing restaurateurs hate worse than new customers. Bootleggers—honorable gentlemen all—likewise voice a kick. The classic, they aver, brings to the city racketeers from other cities who because of their advantage of distance from the prohibition enforcement headquarters can take more time and pains with their illicit beverage than local moonshiners. This works quite a hardship on the District hijackers, because when natives get a chance at out-of-town corn they lose their taste for the home products. It is a civic duty, they claim, for all public spirited citizens to down the Howard-Lincoln game, if for no other reason than to protect local enterprises. All other persons interested in the noble work being carried on by the "Down with the Howard-Lincoln Game Club," will kindly send their names to the president at once.

I had the pleasure of attending the testimonial and banquet given by the Ministers Interdenominational Alliance at the Armstrong High School on November 23, and I heard addresses from the ministers and doctors, and the legal profession and teachers and parent-teachers associations endorsing the administration of Mr. Wilkinson as the right man for the place. And also the letter read from Dr. Ballou expressing the confidence he has in Mr. Wilkinson's ability to be the head of our group which I know to be true. The community at large praises his work.

"All over the country, boys and girls are looking for children who will have no Christmas cheer at all, and are sending their names to Mr. Schnering on a special form printed for that purpose in our December number. Christmas without candy and nuts would be a dreary day, and Mr. Schnering's offer to supply them free of charge, by mail, is unique in American manufacturing and philanthropy."

NEGRO QUESTIONS How much of an observer are you? The answers to this list of questions have already appeared in the illustrated feature section of this paper. 1. For what was the Knights of Liberty organized; when and by whom? 2. Who was the second settler in Alabama? Answers next week. EDITOR'S CHAT Some years ago a Negro went to the North Pole with the Perry. Today this Negro, Matthew Henson, is the only living civilized man who has been to the North Pole. Recently a monument was unveiled to the memory of Peary. Henson was present at the ceremonies. Monday, I visited a moving picture show and on the screen was shown the monument, and the wife and daughter of Peary. I turned and remarked to a lady sitting next to me: "Were Henson other than what he is, in view of the fact of his being the only civilized man living who has been to the North Pole, it seems that such an illustrious person would have been photographed too." The lady asked me, "Who Protect Your Table Tops With Beautiful Polished Plate Glass BUTLER-FLYNN PAINTS 609 C St. N.W. FRANKLIN 151-152 was Henson?" That Strings to my mind that many people did not know that Bert Williams was a Negro until after his death. Many people do not know that William Braithwaite, the noted poet and critic, is a Negro. When a poet is mentioned by him in his "Anthology of Magazine Verse," the poet considers himself as receiving the greatest honor to be obtained in the United States. Many people do not know that Dumbar was a Negro. Few people know that James E. Bland, the composer of "Carry Me Back to Old Virginny," was a Negro. Study the history of your people. It is a matter to be proud of to know the noteworthy accomplishments of Negroes. It is good to know who these people are who are making history for our race. ZEDRIC, THE SON OF THE MAGICIAN By Caroline Howell (12) In by-gone years there was an old poet. One day he was sitting quietly at home, listening to the rain beating against his window. Some one knocked at his door and a voice said, "Please let me come in, for I am very wet." The old poet was running to the door. When he opened the door who do you think he saw? Why, a very cunning little boy. "Oh, come in, young gentleman," said the poet. The little boy came in. When the old poet had taken the boy's wet clothes off him and had given him food to eat, he said, "What is your name, young man?" "My name is Zedric." "You are a fine little fellow," said the poet. But was the boy just an ordinary person? Oh, no. Guess who he was. He was the son of the world's greatest magician of those days. For his birthday his father had given him a bow and arrow.

The good natured old poet fixed him a nice warm bed and the boy pretended to sleep. When the poet was asleep Zedric took his bow and arrow and shot the old man in the heart, and he ran away singing, "Poor Old Poet, I Am Sorry." The poet's neighbors came to his assistance, and everyone thought that he was going to die. But he did not.

TWO COOLIDGE LAUDS RACE PROGRESS ynching on Decrease, Race Problem Being Eradicated, President Tells Congress By Louis B. Lautier In his last message to the Congress on the state of the Union, President Coolidge directed attention to the progress of the Negro in education and the professions, in wealth and in the arts of civilization, and renewed his recommendation for anilynching legislation. His message was read to both Houses of Congress Tuesday at the beginning of the second session of the seventieth Congress. That portion of his message regarding the Negro was as follows: "For 65 years now our Negro population has been under the peculiar care and solicitude of the National Government. The progress which they have made in education and the professions, in wealth and in the arts of civilization, affords one of the most remarkable incidents in this period of world history. Have Power. Ability "They have demonstrated their ability to partake of the advantage of our institutions and to benefit by a free and more and more independent existence. Whatever doubt there may have been of their capacity to assume the status granted to them by the Constitution of this Union is being rapidly dissipated. Their cooperation in the life of the Nation is constantly enlarging. Lynching Decreasing "Exploiting the Negro problem for political ends is being abandoned and their protection is being increased by those States in which their percentage of population is largest. Every encouragement should be extended for the development of the race. The colored people have been the victims of the crime of lynching, which DROPSY TREATED ONE WEEK FREE Short breathing relieved in 36 to 48 hours; swelling reduced in 15 to 20 days.

Some parts of the South already have wholesome laws for its restraint and punishment. Their example might well be followed by other States, and by such immediate remedial legislation as the Federal Government can extend under the Constitution." Schools Advancing With respect to the work of the Bureau of Education of the Department of Interior, President Coolidge reminded the Congress that while this province belongs peculiarly to the States, "yet the promotion of education and efficiency in educational methods is a general responsibility of the Federal Government." A survey of Negro colleges and universities in the United States, he reported, has just been completed by the Bureau of Education through funds provided by the institutions themselves and through private sources. "The present status of Negro higher education was determined," he stated, "and recommendations were made for its advance." All Tranquil At the beginning of his message President, Coolidge painted a pleasing picture of the present state of the Union. "In the domestic field," he said, "there is tranquility and contentment, harmonious relations between management and wage earner; freedom from industrial strife, and the highest record of years of prosperity. In the foreign field there is peace, the good will which comes from mutual understanding, and the knowledge that the problems which a short time ago appeared so ominous are yielding to the touch of manifest friendship." The main source of the unexamplied blessings which this country is enjoying, he declares, "lies in the integrity and character of the American people." National Debt Reduced One-third of the national debt has been paid, he reported, "while much of the other two-thirds has been refunded at lower rates, and these savings of interest and constant economies have enabled us to repeat the satisfying process of more tax reductions." As a result the national income has increased nearly 50 per cent until it is estimated to be over $90,000,000,000. Defends Nicaraguan Invasion There is peace and progress in foreign relations, President Coolidge reported. In Nicaragua a free and fair election has been held. The country is occupied by American Marines. "Nicaragua is regaining its prosperity," he declared, "and has taken a long step in the direction of peaceful self-government." MORE JOYRIDE (Continued from page 1) tomobile. They rode in it, about town until Branson, who was driving, thought that the gas must be almost out. He suggested that they buy gas. The other four agreed, but when Crawford attempted to collect a share for the purchase from the fifth boy, who is still at large, the latter refused, and an argument ensued. Slaying Was Accident The two of them got out and started toward the office of the station, meanwhile continuing to rebuke one another. Crawford then according to the confession, whipped out a gun he is alleged to have taken from Milton Terry. The confession then states that the gun accidently discharged, the bullet piercing the side and abdomen of Bitner. Found in Bed Detective Sergeants Howard Smith and Paul Jones, requested by the homicide squad to render their assistance in the solution of the crime, learned the identity of the Bitner slayers, Friday evening. At four-thirty o'clock, Saturday morning, the two detectives, accompanied by the murder squad with Lieutenant Detective Edward Kelly in charge, went to the house of the Terry brothers, and there found Crawford in bed with Milton and Carl. Statements made by these three implicated Branson. He was arrested by Smith and Jones a little later. Only One Evewitness William I. Street, white, an accountant, living at the Embassy Apartments, testified that he was in his machine standing in the intersection of Sixth street at Rhode Island avenue, when he heard two shots come from the direction of the station. He said he saw two men run from the office and jump on the running board of a slowly moving car. One of the men, he testified, lost his hat in the retreat. He followed for a short distance, but was forced to abandon the chase because of the slippery streets. Street was the only eyewitness to the crime. Branson Branson graduated from the local high schools in 1922, after four years of exceptional rating as a scholar. Besides captaining the football and basketball teams of his school, Branson, at one time was a major in command of a battalion of high school cadets. He is an electrician of ability and an excellent mechanic. His knowledge of the electrical and radio field ranks with the best in the city. At one time he was a projectionist at a local theatre, and only recently served as manager of the Baltimore theatre of the A. E. Lichtman string. Would Rather Be Dead Declaring that he "would rather be dead than to live and get what is coming to him," Branson made an attempt on his life, Sunday night. Standing on the cot of his cell at the Tenth Precinct Station, where he was being held, in communicado, Branson, dived head foremost to the floor, presumably in an effort to fracture his vertebrae. Thus far, however, his attempt has been unsuccessful. He is in the stage of recovery at Gallinger Hospital where he is now under heavy police guard. Crawford is only a few months out of short pants. He comes from a family, highly respected in its community, and is believed to have been influenced by his association with a gang which styles themselves as "Red Devils." Another Held Fletcher McKinley, 1618 Ninth street, northwest, who, police say, was given the pistol with which Bitner was shot, was arrested last night by J. E. Burke, policeman of the Seventh Precinct. McKinley is said to have been talking about the shooting at an auto repair shop on M street northwest, near Thirtieth, and was later arrested when he stopped at the Beauty actions actresses, society and men have preparations.

Complained to Major Hesse Mrs. Stevenson took the letters and cuff buttons to Major Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of the metropolitan police, and filed a complaint against her husband. Major Hesse promised to investigate the case, says Mrs. Stevenson. Unhealthy Imagination In his answer Mr. Stevenson denies having any interest in any other woman. He says that the alleged discovery of his wife of an, interest on his part in another woman was based on "her unhealthy imagination." He states that his contacts with Mrs. Berry were most casual. Charges Proved Groundless He admits that his wife took two letters from his pockets but denies that they were love letters. They were merely friendly, he claims. The cuff links were not given to him by Mrs. Berry, he says, and only "the inordinate suspicious nature" of his wife would cause any question about the letters as well as the cuff links. He proved her charges to Major Hesse groundless, he declares. Cruelty Charged Her husband struck her October 28, says Mrs. Stevenson. On that day his wife was apparently under the influence of some sort of violent stimulant, Mr. Stevenson countercharges. He charges of assault made against him at the suggestion of Police Lieutenant Morgan, was thrown out of court, he says. An assistant United States attorney sought to effect a reconciliation, Mrs. Stevenson states, but failed. Threatened Life Her husband forbade her to go to the home of her mother to live, threatening to kill her if she did, Mrs. Stevenson charges. She says she had to seek shelter at the home of his brother, John Stevenson, at No. 1423 D street, northeast. He denies this charge as well as that he ever struck her. Vile Temper Mr. Stevenson describes his wife as always possessed of a vicious and violent temper and given to lurid language and vituperation. The firm of Houston and Houston represent Mrs. Stevenson. Attorneys Hayes and Davis represent Mr. Stevenson. The couple were married May 5, 1921. They have one child, Louis C.

NEGRO DID NOT COMMIT THEFT (Continued from page 1) The robbery occurred as Miss Rogers was on her way home from a musicale. She was accompanied by two friends, neither of whom would describe the foot-pad as a Negro. Gems valued at $1,200 was the loot. It had been taken from her person and put into the purse for safety. The Post has been openly accused by old inhabitants of having been active in inciting the race riot here some years ago by constantly connecting Negroes with all crimes that were committed against white women in the city.

The item of transportation is one of paramount importance. Baltimore is our closest urban center. We take the trainfare from Baltimore to Washington as the minimum which is $2.88, practically $3.00, allowing street car fare to and from the stations at both points. Then the minimum cost per person is $3.00. Baltimore, being a manufacturing town with a large laboring population, has but a small percentage who would be interested in this game, we can, therefore, assume that most of the 10,000 came from far greater distances. But even allowing $3.00 as an average and the average cost of admission per person as $1.50 we put the individual cost of these 10,000 at $4.50. What About Food? Then of the element of food enters the equation. Local eating houses took special pains to serve turkey dinners, at $1.75 per plate also a 15-cent tip for the waitress and 10 cents for a cigar and we strike another total per person of $6.50. Twenty-five cents more went for a pennant, badge or cane bearing the respective colors of the rooter and 75 cents was the general admission to any of the before or after the game receptions which brings us to $7.50 each. Even when dealing with minimums we can not cut our budget lower than $175,000 for Washington alone. Some may raise the issue that many traveled in their own automobiles and the train force could be eliminated. Granting that seven if the ten thousand traveled in their own cars and placing the average mileage here and return at 2000 miles. Allowing five persons to each car we have 1,500 automobiles traveling 200 averaging 12 miles per gallon which costs 23 cents each, reaching a total cost of 55,520. This, of course, does not include oil, breakdowns, punctured tires and trouble with traffic cops. Multiply by Three The figures quoted pertain exclusively to the Howard-Lincoln difficult circumstances. With the marriage on August 6, 1927, of Minnie to John M. Pierce, however, it is said, conditions that had been harmonious suddenly took a turn for the worse. From the date of her marriage, Mrs. Pierce related, trouble began. Refused to Leave Feeling that she could not hope to live a successful married life under the same roof with her mother and sister, Mrs. Pierce averred, she requested that her relatives quit the premises. They refused. Feared for Life Relations finally became so trying, Mrs. Pierce stated, that she was compelled to place a lock on her kitchen door because she was afraid that access to her foods would place her life and the life of her husband in jeopardy. She said that on several occasions acquaintances of her relatives were so obnoxious that she was forced to demand that they leave the house. These undesired visitors, she said, were either habitual drunkards or bootleggers. Voo Doo Doctor On one occasion, Mrs. Pierce declared, a "voo doo" doctor friend of her mother is said to have visited the house, and that through this medium her mother threatened to "fix" her. Mrs. Pierce Sole Owner Evidence introduced by Attorney Armond W. Scott, counsel for the defendant, convinced the court that Mrs. Pierce had the right and power to exercise her authority by demanding that her relatives, who were tendants by sufferance, vacate the premises.

Weller, of New York City, is the author of a bill which will request congressional recognition for Lionel Licorish, Negro quartermaster and hero of the S. S. Vestris which sank with the loss of more than 100 lives. Mr. Weller will introduce the bill in the opening session of Congress. "The courage and self-sacrifice of Lionel Lichirin in personally saving he lives of 22 persons," said Mr. Weller, "is a matter which should receive the official recognition of Congress. This young man lived up to the traditions of the sea and in a time of emergency was not found wanting. Such an act of heroism should not go unrewarded, and if Congress would award a medal in this case it would be an incentive to the thousands of strong, rugged men who go down to the sea in ships. "Certain people have endeavored to detract from the heroic work of Licorish," said Mr. Weller, "but the fact still remains that he did save human lives from a death in a watery grave and that the number of lives saved may be one more or less the number originally accredited to him, makes little difference.

Lewis, arraigned Monday on a charge of stealing several pairs of socks from the counter of a downtown department store, deliberately told his attorney, Armond W. Scott, that he had never before been convicted of a charge of theft, and had the latter advise that he plead guilty and thus seek probation. Having done this, Lewis then took the witness stand and in response to questions of the court regarding his past record again emphatically denied that he had ever been sentenced for larceny. John Ralph Given then ordered Probation Officer to bring the record of Lewis. It was learned that the youth had a string of convictions stretching from 1920 to a few monts ago. This list included, in addition to several for stealing, charges of vagrancy, joy-riding, and disorderly conduct. As a result of this misrepresentation of the truth, Lewis had a sentence, which might have been 30 days, tripled. of New York, were the guests of Mr. Boyd's mother.

Board of Prohibition in Tight Place NEGRO MINIST'RS URGE SUPPORT OF AMENDMENTS aim Moral Issues Involved in Violation of 14th and 15th as Well as 18th Amendments According to discussions current among the race ministers of the Methodist Episcopal connection the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals will have an embarrassing situation on its hands as an outgrowth of its activities in the recent political campaign. The board with offices here was a predominating force in the election of Hoover and the Dry platform, placing both money and talent at the disposal o the Republican Party to perpetuate prohibition. Moral Issue The speakers of the board contended that Prohibition was not so much a political issue as it was a moral issue and urged ministers to participate actively in the campaign on these grounds.

Other Moral Issues An unexpected reaction came this week when prominent members of the Washington Annual Conference proposed sending a petition to the board asking it to take up with equal zeal the enforcement of the 14th and 15th amendments effecting Negroes, on the same moral basis. The Rev. C. E. Queen and the Rev. Ernest Lyons, both of Baltimore, were leaders in the fight who contended that it was just as much a moral issue to disfranchise, discriminate and keep Negroes in ignorance as it was to violate the Volstage law. The Rev. Ernest Williams, pastor of Metropolitan Church, Baltimore, is the only colored member of the board which held a special call meeting here Tuesday. The pastor was not authorized to present the action of the conference at this meeting, but it is thought that a committee will be appointed in the near future to draft a petition outlining the demands of the Negro ministers.

Stores in All Principal Cities A deliberate “lay down” by the captain and several of his players, who were wotking in accordance with his request, in the Morgan College-Lincoin football game, was feveeled in an interview with a former Lincoln University football Player together with several fra- ternal men early this week. The diselosal followed a brief discus- sion of the football situation at Lineoln and the recent dismissal of Dr. W. E. Mortison, former head coach at the Chester institution. Julie Martin, one of the leading ball-earriers in eastern Collegiate cireles and captain of the Lincoln team, is charged by certain fra- ternity members with having ap- parently influenced two other mem- bers of the Lion squad to loaf and “throw” the game 80 that the out- come would help speed the ousting of Dr. Morrison, and also injure the chances of two non-fraternal men of being elected to the cap- tainey next year. The indifferent playing on the part of Young, cen- ter, and Clark, halfback, was criti: claed, and it was. the ‘continuous ‘referet-baiting of these two caus- ing penalties to be inflicted on the Lions, that aroused suspicion. ‘These three players, it was de- glared, are members of a certain fraternity, ahd like most fraternal brothers, ' will concoct schemes ‘whereby their fraternity associates ‘Will benefit. The spirit of the fra- tarnity. is greater than the spirit ‘of the men-- toward. the school.

Such wos the opinion by certain frat boys goo thei tion, the ning their narra men said that Dr. Morrison, this eat, gave every indication hav. ing oo a keen knowledge of football at the ae nan of Rockne and Warner, sum- mer. It was averred that Dr. Mor- tison had just reached the stage in his development of athletics at the’ Pennsylvania school where promises of a most successful grid season next year were beginning to crop. Throughout the season, it was re- vealed, the Lion tutor lived in con- stant criticism from members of the Lincoln alumni, who were dis- satisfied with his presence, there. On one occasion, it was said, Dr. Morrison received a wire from cer- fain members of the alumni telling him what men he should am should not use in one of his games. ‘The wite, it was declared, emphati- ¢ally stated that Carter, quarter- back, should not be played. Morri- son, on that occasion, called the team together and after a brief talk turned to the former Dunbar High School lad and said, “Carter, there seems to be no one connected with the team in an official ca- Pacity with one exception who has faith in your ability as a quarter- back. I am that exception. I’m going to play you today. Here's our chance. We'll either tise to- getter or fall with colors fying. to it, luck and I will be wit you.” Morrison, from the very outset, according to the narrators, had ab- solutely no co-operation from Lin- coln University officials, No efforts to assist him in any way were forthcoming from the various ‘alumni associations or the gradu- ate manager.

The university authorities, having suc- cessfully mended the difficulties which have existed between How: ard and the association since 1924 announced officially late this week T. C. Myers, former assistant coach to Morrison, and now head coach, was also named as one who did many things contrary to. the practice and wish of the deposed mentor. It was said that on num- erous occasions Myers directed cer- tain players to make plays exactly opposite to the method taught by Dr. Morrison. In addition to this insubordination Myers so en Morrison during the Lincoln-U: game as to make the two barely miss coming to blows. that the Blue and White fnstitu- tion is now to be considered a full- fledged member of the conference.

Vidor Pleased with 'Hallelujah' Cast - - 'Just Walked Out' Says Miss Saunders MUSIC DRAMA Dusky belles, tall young, black-skinned boys, plump mammies and pickanninies are swarming about the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer lot, giving it the appearance of a California Harlem, or a real 'down south' plantation. "Some of these colored folk were taken out of Broadway shows, for colored talent is today much in vogue even outside of Carl Van Vechten's select literary circles. Others were brought from Memphis, where Mr. Vidor worked for some weeks, making exteriors for 'Hallelujah,' his all-colored epic. "Acting for motion pictures seems to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of this emotional race. They weep openly and lustily every time an affecting spiritual is sung. There is something so weird and so soul-stirring in their soft chanting music that the white people watching get an echoing emotional thrill. Singers, All King Vidor, strongly influenced by the intense and almost fanatical interest of his colored players, has become completely fascinated RD THI HOWARD THEATRE SEVENTH STREET at T.

Parsons, theatrical writer—King Vidor, director for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer concern, is enthusiastic over the response of the Negro actors appearing in "Hallelujah," to the screen. The article says in part: "Vidor has brought Harlem to Hollywood Emotional with making the picture. He has 500 spirituals from which to choose and jubilee singers with sweet, throaty voices to sing them. And how these singers of every type put their very souls into the religious fervor of the words. Haynes Artist "There isn't a white person in the cast and it's just as well, for after watching Daniel Haynes grow hysterical any white person would seem ineffectual. "Daniel Haynes is the colored boy who sang in the New York production of "Show Boat." He is a college graduate and a product of our newer civilization. But years of veneer have not erased the brooding expression from his tragic eyes and his deep-seated emotion. He kills his brother in the play, and after an intensely affecting scene, he was so overcome that he burst into deep sobs that lasted for an hour. "Mr. Vidor dares not rehearse him too much. The nerve strain is too terrific. I watched Haynes during the chanting of mourning wails and saw him so hysterically un- EATRE Telephone North 3000 ESDAY THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1928 strung that he had to leave the set. No Jealousies "With such feeling and such unprecedented response, it is no wonder that King Vidor is enthusiastic. There is no jealousy among these people. They are all so eager to have their first picture an overwhelming success that one coaches the other. "Mr. Vidor tells me it is an everyday occurrence to see some of the more talented ones take the weaker members of the cast into the corner and rehearse them in their lines and songs. Any child who dares grow restless is promptly chastised by his parent in the good old-fashioned way. A Sensation "Hallelujah" would be a sensation. There is no music in the world with the same eerie appeal as the spirituals and Mr. Vidor has a rare collection from which to make his choice. Furthermore, there is Honey Brown and Nina Mae Manor, both New York actresses who can sing and dance after the fashion of their race." Six hundred extras, all of them with voices, are also a part of the big show. No Pay, Actors Strike At Lafayette Theatre NEW YORK—Leonard Harper, producer of "Monkey Shines," last week's attraction at the Lafayette Theatre, was surprised last Friday when his company refused to go on with the midnight show unless he paid them their salary that was due from the previous week while playing in Philadelphia. The theatre was crowded as it usually is during the midnight show and the curtain was delayed for over an hour. Harper finally raised enough money to pay the chorus, but on Sunday the show closed and no one received their pay for the week at the Lafayette, which came near being a riot. "Women They Talk About" At the Republic A sensational Vitaphone Talking picture entitled "Women They Talk About," will be the feature screen attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, December 8, 9, 10, and 11. Irene Rich heads the cast, supported by Audrey Ferris, William Collier, Jr., John Miljan and Claude Gillingwater. Vitaphone again works magic in elevating good drama into enchantment. Besides symphonic accompaniment, the voices of the players are heard in high moments of action and with brilliant effect. Richard Barthelmess in his latest picture, "Out of the Ruins," will be shown on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, December 12, 13 and 14. Barthelmess is cast as an officer of the famous French Blue Devils in one of the strangest stories ever told. His heroism under fire, his romantic and passionate love for Yvonne, his daring method for visiting his sweetheart—all make this a thrilling picture. It is really the first "great lover" role Barthelmess has had for many months. Marion Nixon and Robert Frazer are in the supporting cast. There will be a complete change of Vitaphone and Movietone acts with each of the feature pictures. "The Terror," All Talkie, At the Lincoln Theatre "The Terror," which is a Warner Brothers 100 per cent all-talking Vitaphone production, will open at the Lincoln Theatre on Saturday, December 8, for a limited engagement of one week only. "The Terror" is acknowledged to be the most thrilling and at the same time the most amusing and inspiring of all mystery melodramas, and with the aid of the famous Vitaphone it is made even more thrilling when you can see every character and audibly hear every word. The locale is a dilapidated English manor house, supposed to hide both the loot of a recent bank robbery and the looter. Crooks of various sorts, frightened and spiritualistic ladies, cops, and what not, come to the old house—where all are kept in chattering fear by a hidden and mysterious monster who is forever committing some deed or other to put the already ragged nerves of the household in a state of collapse. The whole atmosphere of "The Terror" is English, thus making it altogether different from any play seen on the screen here. The admission prices for "The Terror' only, in accordance with the terms of our contract with Warner Brothers will be, matinee daily except Sunday, 1:30 to 6 p.m., 20c to all. Sunday, 2:30 to 4 p.m., 20c to all. Evenings after 6 and Sunday after 4 p.m., adults, 30c; children under 12, 20c. The management would suggest that if possible you attend the afternoon performance and thereby avoid the discomports of the evening crowds.

"JUST WALKED OUT," SAYS MISS SAUNDERS 1920 "Well, I just wasn't satisfied so I walked out," said Miss Gertrude Saunders, appearing at the Howard Theatre this week with her own "Red Hot Mamma" Company, when asked why she left the "Blackbirds," No. 2 Company flat on their opening night several weeks ago. When asked if she did not prefer to be the star of a big production of the Lew Leslie calibre than a road show confined to the colored houses, she declared that she preferred the latter as she not only drew a substantial salary but also received a part of the box office returns which netted her more than she would have received on the "Blackbirds" show.
