PASTOR AND ARCHITECT ENGAGE IN LEGAL TILT SMITH LOSES CASE Man Prostrated by Heat on Cold Winter Day A CAPITAL EDITION Vol. VIII, No. 30 WASHING SMI RIGHT TO ENTERH.U. DENIED Decision in Mandamus Proceedings Startles Courtroom J.A. ter By Samuel H. Lacy Without argument from either counsel, Justice William Hitz, sitting in Circuit Division of the District Supreme Court, Thursday, discharged the rule and dismissed the petition of Clarence L. Smith, former Howard University football star who was seeking a writ of mandamus to compel the university to reinstate him as a student in the freshman class of the university School of Medicine, from which he had been ousted. The rule had demanded that the university show cause why Smith should not be reinstated. The end was abrupt. It came with the suddenness of lightning and left the principals in the case as wel las a courtroom full of spectators in a complete daze. Not until the jurist called for the next case did a full realization of the disposition of the case settle in the minds of those present. They filed (Continued on page 5) Man Prostrated in Cold Winter Drying Process in Building Under Construction Blamed for Freak of Nature A case of heat prostration on a day when the thermometer was registering 40 degrees was more than Emergency Hospital officials could explain as Orborne McFarland, 3814 Dennison place, northwest, was brought into the hospital, Monday after having been overcome. Nor was a solution to the perplexing problem reached until the employers of McFarland arrived at the institution. They told doctors there that the victim became suffocated while carrying mortar as a sod-carrier in a building which was seng heated for the purpose of burrying the drying process of fresh plaster. McFarland was revived with the application of ice packs and other treatment ordinarily used on similar cases which occur during the summer months HOWARD ALUMNI OFFICERS ELECTED The Howard University Alumni Association elected the following officers: J.

WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER ITH Husband PASTOR AND ARCHITECT IN CLASH J. A. Lankford Says Minister Demanded Rakeoff for Contract Award The Interior Department appropriation bill for 1930, carrying totals of $600,000 for Howard University and $260,180 for Freedmen's Hospital, passed the House last Friday. J. A. Lankford, an architect, proved before Judge James A. Cobb in the municipal court last Saturday that he would have been awarded the contract for the architectural work of a new First Colored Baptist Church building in southwest Washington but for his refusal to share his commission with the pastor, the Rev. James H. Marshall. The customary points of order against the items for Howard University were not made while the House had the bill under consideration. The new law which President Coolidge had signed on the day before it was in effect, and no points of order against the Howard University items were in order. Mr. Lankford testified that he had entered into architectural competition and had won the contest in a special church meeting, July 9. He was to have been awarded the contract for drawing the plans and supervising the construction. On the Saturday following the contest, he testified, the Rev. Marshall called him to his house on a supposed conference regarding the work and asked him for a share of his commission. He refused, he stated, and the pastor made charge (Continued on page 5) The appropriation for Howard University is for salaries, $225,000; general expenses, $95,000; completing and equipping chemistry building, $240,000, and for completion of women's dormitory, $40,000. The appropriation for Freedmen's Hospital is for salaries, $175,200, and expenses, $84,960. Mystery in Slaying of Baltimore Physician ed by Heat on inter Day ATHLETE FREEDIN SHOOTING CASE Baseball Player Who As- saulted Sweetheart Last August Liberated Dr. William Steverson, formerly of this city, was killed last Wednesday night in his office on Druid Hill avenue, Baltimore, Md. No motive for the crime could be found, and the police have no clue as yet to work upon. His body was found by a patient, Mrs. S. B. Brown, 40 years old, of 1662 N. Calhoun street, who went to Dr. Steverson's office for treatment and found him lying dead with his face downward in a pool of blood. Dr. Steverson's mother arrived last Saturday from her home in St. Louis to take charge of the body. Did Inferior The grand jury, Tuesday, ignored a charge of assault with intent to kill against George Preston Smith, prominent local baseball player, when Miss Viola Jackson, 2019 Eighth street, northwest, the complainant, failed to appear to prosecute him. Seventeen-year-old Grace Eunice Owens has been dead a week and still the mystery surroundings her suicide is as deep as ever. The mystery does not lie in the lack of probable causes for her rash act, but in the preponderance of explanations advanced, all of which are plausable, but which only add to the confusion. Charge against him involved the shooting of Miss Jackson, as she was sitting in the living room of her home, last August, 29. The man fired four times through a window looking in from the rear yard, three of the bullets taking effect. He then leaped the fence and walked to the Eighth Precinct where he gave himself up. The accusing finger points in many directions and most tellingly at the girl herself. This by no means involves morality, but a psychosis which she possessed that made her feel that she was constantly being imposed upon. According to the story the woman was an alleged clandestine sweetheart who had jilted Smith. The strong grasp that this attitude towards life had upon her is seen in the incident where she left Cberlin University because she feared she was not doing well in her subjects only to learn that she was an A No. 1 student after it was too late to return. secretary; Mrs. Robinson, financial secretary; Mrs. Grace Johnson Jackson, treasurer; Mrs. B.

Contradictory versions come on this angle, however as some reports claim her mother was given to fits of anger brought on by the same worrying complex to which the daughter found herself an heir. Feared School Authorities This same mental attitude is revealed in her constant fear and belief, false or true, that school officials here were not giving her a fair deal in her practice work as a student in the Miner Normal School.

Howard, Republican National Committeeman, arrived here Tuesday morning from Jackson, Miss., where he was acquitted by a jury last Friday on a charge of conspiring to violate the Federal patronage act. He was elated over his victory. Shortly after his arrival here, Mr. Howard called at the Department of Justice. He would make no statement regarding his call, nor would he make any comment on the outcome of his trial or the probability of the Government dropping the other charge against him and his being restored to his position in the Department of Justice. He was suspended immediately after his indictment. He was busy most of the day at his offices at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, northwest, receiving congratulations upon his acquittal. The Washington Tribune was the only Negro paper to carry the story of Mr. Howard's acquittal last week. DePRIEST GOES BOND FOR DAN JACKSON CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP).—Oscar DePriest, Congressman-elect from the First Congressional District of Illinois, signed the bond of Daniel Jackson, second ward committeeman, who was indicted last week for the second time by the Special Grand Jury investigating election frauds. The bond was placed at $5,000 and Mr. DePriest scheduled $68,000 worth of real estate to cover it. The first bond was signed by Mrs. Louis B. Anderson, wife of the alderman from the second ward. acuses of purposely making life miserable for her. On the morning of the tragedy she is said to have called these persons and informed them she would no longer be here to endure their treatment. In Love Affairs Her tendency to brood also found its way into her love affairs and with the additional mania for reading "True Love" and "Confession" stories which so played upon her mind that her trivial childhood romances magnified themselves into heart tragedies to such an extent that she could not enter a marriage contract curseously and this more than anything else is thought to have strengthened her determination to end her life. In Love Affairs SAYS MATE WISHED ONLY A GOOD TIME Runaway Spouse Denied Alimony When Husband Tells of Homelife Mrs. Gertrude V. Campbell, a hairdresser, 2521 P street., northwest, was denied temporary alimony by Justice Jennings Bailey in equity court No. 1, last Friday morning. She is suing her husband, Arthur Campbell, an employee of the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, for separate maintenance. In his answer to her bill of complaint Mr. Campbell alleges that his wife deserted their home to live with her sister, Mrs. Ethel P. Pope, telling him hat she "wanted a good time and wanted to be free without any responsibilities." Did House Work He charges that his wife remained away from home on an average of every other night. She refused to cook or wash for him and their three minor children, he says, forcing him to perform these household duties as well as clean the house. He admits that he employed a housekeeper through an employment agency. He says that he kept her only two weeks. He denies any impropriety in this action. Three Children Their three minor children, Arthur, Jr., Ethel and Ralph Campbell, are being cared for at a day nursery at No. 1 Iowa circle. Their mother, says Mr. Campbell, is no longer interested in their welfare. Attorney Armond W. Scott represented Mr. Campbell. Girl's Suicide? What did these love affairs mean? What was her hold on the young men with whom she associated? Did her gloomy outlook on life so obscess her lovers that they too felt partly to blame for her unhappy condition which ended in the tragedy that left them unintentional parties? All evidence points in that direction because the lover to whom she was betrothed made two unsuccessful attempts to end his own life, another, a former Howard University student, came to the city from Philadelphia to kneel at her bier, and a third is reported to have left the city for parts unknown. These revelations are but speculative based upon the numerous issues surrounding her death. The answer is most securely locked in the little heart which she freed of its heavy burden with a bullet, last Monday. THE LADY OF THE RING THE FOUR HUNDRED, both in social position and numerically speaking, will be the guests of the Misses Valerie Hortensis and Vermelle Helene Turner at a reception given in their palatial home, 1828 Montello avenue, northeast, Thursday, December 27. They are prominent in local society. More than 1000 people witnessed the dedication services of the new Trades Hall at the National Training School for Girls, Sunday. The Trades Hall, with a modern central heating plant valued at approximately $12,000, was erected at a cost of $39,000. The estimated cost of the structure, when completed by the addition of a third story, will be $56,500. This building forms the nucleus of the new plan for the development of this, the only boarding school for colored girls north of Richmond. Name Changed The National Seminary and Trade School for Girls, formerly known as the National Training School for Women and Girls, was founded in 1909 through the efforts of Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. It began its work with the definite aim of glorifying service through definite and thorough training. Beginning in a dilapidated farm house on six acres of unimproved ground, the school has grown until it now consists of eight buildings on a campus of eight improved acres. On May 26, 1926, the main building of the National Training School as it was then known, was destroyed by fire. It has been replaced by the present brick structure of 19 rooms, containing two stories and a basement. In the new Trades Building will be housed the domestic science and the domestic arts departments; the business an the science departments; the printing press; and the academic class-rooms. The school offices are also located in this building. Strong Faculty The faculty of the school consists of the following persons: Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal; Miss Jessie L. Lundy, Florida; Miss Berenice Wilson, Washington (state); Miss V. Kathryne Redding, Illinois; Miss Arinta McNeill, District of Columbia; Mrs. Bettie B. Henderson, District of Columbia; Miss Etta Versa, Texas; Mrs. Esther I. Cooper, Virginia, Miss Mildred I. Felton, South Carolina; Mrs. Susie E. Rembert, Georgia. The following educational institutions are represented by the teaching personnel: Howard University, Chicago Art Institute, Florida A. & M. College, and Talladega College. HIT AND RUN DRIVER GIVEN JAIL TERM Convicted of being the driver of a hit-and-run automobile, and of operating without a permit, Louis Brown, a chauffeur, was sentenced to 105 days in jail, by Judge John P. McMahon, in Traffic Branch of Police Court, last Friday morning. Brown was arrested following an accident at Fifteenth and A streets southeast, in which another car was said to have been badly damaged. The car which he was driving had been loaned to him and he had no permit, another witness testified.

The little fellow, who gave his name as Preston Gibson, and later told so many contradictory stories that his identity is still a mystery, was clad in a gray uniform cap, a light overcoat of tweed and a warm sweater. In a delapidated Boston bag he carried an additional pair of pants and an already soiled shirt. Wanted to Lick Germans He exclaimed to the Travelers Aid authorities who took him in charge that he had read a great deal about the Germans and had made up his mind that if ever another war broke out he was going to fight. He lives with his grandmother here but has a mother in New York whom he felt would help him make his journey to South America once he found her. He was placed in the house of detention for children pending an investigation by the police. "HAD A RIGHT TO COMPLAIN" SAYS MRS. SIMPSON School Board Condemns Practice of Individual Teachers Voicing Grievances That she may have been defeated, but by no means cowed in her fight against mal-practices in the local school system is evidenced by a letter to the Tribune sent by Mrs. Georgiana R. Simpson, a public school instructor, this week. Mrs. Simpson's letter states: "Your paper found it worth while to make public the contents of a letter of November 10, to President Carusi, in which I expressed my opinion concerning the practice of soliciting money from teachers, etc. "May I say here, most emphatically: I have never changed that opinion. I have never retracted one word of my letter anywhere, at any time. I have never equivocated nor failed to tell the truth under any sort of questioning concerning that letter. In writing that communication I exercised my (Continued on page 5) Foreign Born Girls Held in Peonage in N. Y. C., Travelers Aid Discovers Foreign GIRLS HELD IN SLAVERY IS CHARGE West Indian and South American Women in Virtual Peonage In New York NEW YORK (CNS)—Slavery exists today in New York in the very shadow of the Statue of Liberty and serfdom is being practised within a stone's throw of the ornate magnificence of the cathedral of St. John the Divine, according to the findings of the Travelers' Aid. Young immigrant women, whose passage has been prepaid from the West Indies, Europe and South America, are being bound to work with bourgeois families in this city and elsewhere in the country under such circumstances as to amount to indentured service. Miss Kathryn Young, supervisor of Port Work of the New York Traveler's Aid Society, declares that immigrant domestics are working here sometimes for no wages at all or for such scanty sums that they are detained indefinitely paying off the debts piled up against them by their employers. West Indian and South American girls are the most imposed upon, according to the report of Miss Young. Some of these are forced to work for $3 and $5 a week until they pay off the amount advanced for their passage, in the meantime having no opportunity to look for better jobs. If they attempt to leave their employer, they are threatened with the filing of a charge of immorality against them which would result in their deportation. Harlem All Aglow Over Artists' Progress By Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins NEW YORK (Special to the Tribune)—The Ngro is coming into his own in the realm of canned music. Until recently the only music offered the public by the large phonograph recording companies, have been jazz, blues, and absurd preaching, with occasional spirituals by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. With the passing of the Black Swan Company, a recording concern operated by Negroes, the presentation of the better class of hymns, songs, and instrumental music also passed. Two Sentimentalists Harlem is all agog over the fact that J. C. Johnson, a Negro, can be heard on a record singing "Good Things Come to Those Who Wait" and "Explaining." Mr. Johnson is popular here, and is alluded to as the "Black Gene Austin." He is 26 years old, and has written songs that have been used by Broadway stars such as Ethel Waters, Paul Whitenan's Orchestra, and the Revelers. Another record is out, "Somewhere Someone's Love is Calling," and "Since You Went Away." This is the second record by George Bias, Negro tenor. All of this bodes well of the near approach of the time when we may hope to hear Hayes, Burleigh, Marian Anderson, Dett, and others of this calibre giving us a taste of the better class of music. LOCAL TEACHER WEDS CHICAGO PHYSICIAN Miss Janice Ages Browne, kindergarten teacher at Cardozo-Bell School, and Dr. E. Milton Johnson, of Chicago, Ill., were married on Wednesday evening, November 28, at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James A. Browne, 603 U street, northwest.

Miss Inez Browne, the bride's sister, was maid of honor, and wore pale green taffetta and silver lace. Mr. K. M. Flipping served as best man. The ceremony was performed by Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor of People's Congregational Church. The bride and groom attended the Howard-Lincoln classic, and left at the close of the game for a brief honeymoon in New York City. They will make their home in Chicago, where the groom has an extensive medical practice. WAITER SUDDENLY ILL Taken suddenly ill as he was going about his duties at Thurston's Cafeteria, 1934 Ninth street, northwest, shortly before noon, Monday, Henry Smiley, 28 years old, an employee there, required medical attention at Freedmen's Hospital, where he was taken in the Eighth Precinct patrol.

DID NOT OWN HOUSE, GIRL GOES FREE Inability on the part of raiding police officers to prove that she is the proprietor of the premises where she is known to live, turned out to be the salvation of Mary Vaughn. 424 First street, southwest, who was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given, Monday, on a charge of maintaining a disorderly house. Miss Vaughn was arrested Saturday night, by Officers Truscott, Thayer, Barrett and Curtis, of the Fourth Precinct, who testified that after having had the house where she lives under observation for several months, entered it on a search warrant. They declared that they found the woman in the act of committing a statutory misdemeanor. Charles Scessco, a friend, was taken with Miss Vaughn. Under the cross-examination of Attorney Joseph P. Neele, who represented the defendants, each of the officers admitted that they were unable to determine whether Miss Vaughn was responsible for the house or not. Judge Given, after dismissing the charge of maintenance of a disorderly house fined Miss Vaughn $25 and Seccso $10 in the statutory cases. NO DEPRESSION SAYS SPAULDING Pre-election depression was branded as a mere figment of the brain of the American business man by C. C. Spaulding, president of the Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, in a statement, Tuesday, declaring that with the recent presidential election in the balance his company did the greatest volume of business in its history. If you think business is rotten it will prove so, he said, but if you go out optimistically it will turn out to be a myth. He attended the sessions of the Inter-racial Conference which is in session here. PARENTS HEAR-CARTER WOODSON The Dunbar Parent-Teacher Association of Dunbar High School was addressed on Tuesday evening by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, on the subject "The Hope of the Negro in the Proper Training of the Youth." Dr. Woodson discussed the importance of cleanliness, independent thinking, co-operation in business enterprises, racial pride and consciousness, and the study of the history of the Negro race, as guiding principles in the education of colored youth. BOY KICKED BY MULE Gabe Daniels, 20, 308 P street, applied at the Emergency Hospital for treatment of a broken knee he received when he came in contact with the business end of a mule, Wednesday night. He was employed to assist in the presentation at the President Theatre of the "Indoor Circus." Being a city boy, he did not know much about the personal habits of mules and calmly walked behind a long-eared quadruped. Almost immediately there was a crack that could be heard over the theatre; Gabe crumpled up in a heap. BOY, 10, IS 6 FEET 6 INCHES ALTON, Ill.—Among members of the National Association of Longfellows, Robert Wadlow, son of Mr. and Mrs. Harold Wadlow, of this city, probably enjoys the most abundant prospects, professionally speaking. At ten years of age he is 6 feet 6 inches tall and weighs 211 pounds. Four physicians who examined him predicted that Ms average growth of four inches a year will continue until he is approximately nine feet tall. FINED FOR ASSAULT CHARGE Charged with an assault on John Teamus (white). Elliot Brown, 600 K street, northwest, was sentenced to 90 days in jail by Judge Ralph Given in Police Court, on Monday morning. Brown is alleged to have turned his automobile out of H street into Eighth street, northeast, last Saturday afternoon, and barely missed Teamus and two companions who were in the cross-walk at the intersection. Words passed between the driver and the three white men. Then, it is said, Brown got out of his car and struck Teamus in the face. INAUGURAL COMMITTEE NAMED Dr. Emmett J. Scott, John R.

Morton William Royse, instructor of history and economics, and James Hunt, a janitor at the Brattle Square Post Office, were the principals. As a result Royse's head required several stitches and Hunt nursed two swollen lips. Counsel addressed the court and said that the honor of both had been satisfied as the result of the altercation and that each wished the case dismissed. Judge Stone of the Cambridge Court who presided acceded to the request. He said: "The damage to the community isn't very great.

One-Month-Old Child Arouses Sympathy of Judge; Freed HAPPY PALS THE CLUB OF CLUBS Invites You to Its CHRISTMAS PROM Tuesday, Dec. 25, 1928 Murray's Casino 9 till 2 White Bros.—75 Cents BREAKFAST DANCE Christmas Morning 10 till 2 White Bros.—50 Cents Watta Time! BABE SAVES MOTH'RFROM JAIL TERM 1-Month-Old Child Touches Sympathetic Chord In Court, Parent Freed A one-month-old baby figured in the release from the custody of the law, last Tuesday morning, of it's mother, who had been arraigned before Judge Ralph Given on charges of shoplifting. Although the infant may never know, it was because of it that the court sent for the mother and ordered a sentence of 60 days which had already been imposed, suspended, and a probationary period set. Mary Love, 25 years old, arrested along with Maude Rhone, 18, when the two of them were caught with several articles which they had stolen from Goldenberg's Department Store, pleaded guilty when brought before the court. The Rhone girl said that she was stealing for her father's Christmas present. Mrs. Love offered no excuse. The judge sentenced them to 60 days in jail. An hour later Mrs. Love was called again from the dock, and Judge Given told her that he had been advised that she was the mother of an infant baby which might die if it was not accorded the care of its mother. When she testified that such was true, the court suspended execution of the sentence pending her behavior for one year. WENT LOOKING FOR TROUBLE; GOT IT Although he pleaded guilty to have assaulted his brother, Benjamin, Willard Robinson, 24 years old, was ordered released on probation by Judge Ralph Given, in Police Court, Tuesday. The court felt that the assault was justified. According to the testimony, Benjamin made several trips to his brother's place of employment for the purpose of upbringing him for having been instrumental in his separation from his wife. The last visit to the place resulted in an alteration. Benjamin's assertion was to the effect that Willard had advised the wife of the former to leave him. No reason for this advice was disclosed at the trial. Judge Given, failing to see any good reason why Benjamin should have been so desirous of meeting Willard, told the complainant that he was as much to blame as his brother. Benjamin appeared in court with a bandaged mouth. GIRL CUT IN FAMILY QUARREL A family quarrel, in which the "in-law" trouble played a prominent part, resulted in the cutting of 19-year-old Ellen Anderson, 410 Elm street, northwest, Monday afternoon. Isaiah Coates, father-in-law of the girl, was arrested by police of the Eighth Precinct and charged with the assault. Mrs. Anderson was taken to Freedman's Hospital and treated by Dr. F. D. Speaks for a severely lacerated left wrist. FALLS ON WASH TUB, CHILD HURT Julia Pressie, 7 years old, living at 2120 Fourth street, northwest, was given medical attention at Freedmen's Hospital for an incised wound of the scalp, which wound she received when she struck her head against a wash-tub at her home last Friday morning. Dr. H. E. Wharton dressed the wound and instructed the girl's parents to take her to the skin clinic for further treatment. MISSLES FLY AS TWO FAMILIES FIGHT A free-for-all fight in which the family o f the Owens and the family of the Johnson's battled up and down Snow's Court, northwest, for nearly a half hour, resulted in the arrest, last Saturday afternoon, of what proved to be a rank outsider; one who was drawn into the scramble by his humane spirit. Charles Jackson, a truck driver living at 939 Snow's Court, was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given on a charge of assault, Tuesday. He was said to have attacked Dorothy Owen, 17 years old, a neighbor. While Mrs. Etta Owen, the girl's mother, and Lillian, her sister, were busily engaged in fights with Mrs. Elizabeth Johnson, and her daughter, Gladys, respectively. A complication of testimony which revealed only that some one struck some one else in the head with an iron bar, and that a glass jar, thrown, figured in the injuring one of the contestants. Jackson got into the mix-up when he sought to stop the seventeen-year-old complainant, Dorothy, from beating the much smaller and youngest of the Johnson, Elizabeth, 11 years old. Judge Given ordered the case dismissed and the defendant discharged. Jackson was represented by Attorney Armond W. Scott. Fired Employee Helped Self From Cash Drawer Caught as he was in the act of riffing the cash drawer of an automobile accessory shop near Fourteenth and H streets, northeast, last Saturday morning, Raymond Jackson, 26, of an address in Bladensburg road, northeast, was arraigned before Judge Ralph Given, in Police Court, Monday, charged with the larceny of $20. Louis Collins, white, proprietor of the shop, appeared as the complaining witness. Spencer Berry, of Deanwood, D.C., testified that he saw Jackson ransacking the money drawer. Berry jumped from his auto tuck as he neared the city limits and ran into the accessory shop for the purpose of borrowing a wrench and saw Jackson with his hick i. the drawer. A few minutes later Colin entered the place, and upon opening his cash register learned that two ten dollar bills were missing. Colin testified that Jackson had, at one time, been employed by him, and that after his discharge had been guilty of hanging around the place unauthorized and undesired. A sentence of 60 days in jail was imposed by the court. TEETH MAY DECIDE PROHIBITION CASE Two gold teeth will be a deciding factor when the case of George Kelly, 909 Fourth street, is called for trial here. Kelly was arrested on charges of violating the Volstead act by having in his possession two gallons of alleged corn liquor. A warrant for his arrest was obtained by an under-cover agent upon a description furnished the Prohibition authorities. In his affidavit the agent declared that the man from whom he had made the purchase had three gold teeth in the front of his mouth. Peter B. Richardson, attorney, has filed a motion for the suppression of evidence and squashing of the charges on the grounds that his client has five gold teeth instead of threer. WOMAN IS AUTO VICTIM Struck and knocked down by an automobile as she was crossing Ninth street, near W street, northwest, last Thursday night. Miss Annie Nally, 32 years old, of 2225 12th place, n.w., suffered minor injuries of the hands, arms, and right shoulder. She was taken to Garfield Hospital by Ralph Powers, white driver of the machine, who lives at 5727 Ninth street, northwest, and was treated by Dr. Sam Luther, who described her condition as not serious. PAR'NTS OF MOVIE STAR DIVORCED Mother and Father Battle Over Custody of $800-a-Week "Sunshine Sammy" LOS ANGELES, Cal.—An absolute divorce and the custody of four children was granted Mrs. Louise Morrison, mother of Ernest Morrison, the 15-year-old vaudeville star, known the world over as "Sunshine Sammy," by Judge M. M. Yankwitch, in Superior Court, here last week. The bill, filed by Mrs. Morrison, averred that Joseph Morrison, her husband, had been guilty of non-support and desertion. Both the father and the mother wished the custody of the young artist, who at present is earning between $400 and $800 weekly on the stage. At the close of the hearing Mrs. Morrison was given a decree of divorce and the custody of the couple's four girls, Florence, 12: Vera, 11; Dorothy, 8; Ethel, 5. "Sunshine Sammy" was placed in the care of his father with the suggestion from Judge Yankwich that a guardian be appointed for the boy to handle his finances. He also ordered Morrison to pay off the mortgage and taxes due on the family home, turning it over to the wife free of incumbrances. Mrs. Morrison also was given the family residence at 1514 East Thirty-third street and $40 a week for the support of herself and daughters. HUDGINS NEAR DEATH IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT Lew Leslie came near to losing one of his star "Black Birds" last week, when Johnny Hudgins narrowly escaped serious injury and possible death. A taxi he was in was struck by another cab and turned over. It looked like the final curtain for the clever Johnny when the crash occurred. Al lwo saw the accident and rushed to the overturned cab were amazed to see the comedian stagger out when the cab was righted. He was badly shaken up and dazed as a policeman assisted him from the machine. His first thoughts were of his wife and he requested the officer to phone and tell her of the accident. Johnny had been visiting some friends and was on his way to the theatre for the usual matinee performance. His cab had the right of way, but Hudgins, taking into consideration that the man was colored and undoubtedly in poor circumstances, refused to take action against him. Johnny was badly shaken up, one leg being badly cut and bruised. He was late for the matinee, getting there after the intermission, with the second act almost half finished. He managed to limp through the finale and then was rushed home for another examination by his own physician. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE MEETING HERE IN JAN.

On Christmas morning at 5 o'clock, a candle light service will be held followed by a sermonette by the pastor, "Bethhelhem's Star." MORE SMITH CASE (Continued from page 1) out slowly—almost speechless. No Ill Will Toward Students Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of the university, and by such reason chief defendant in the suit, was the last witness to take the stand. His poise and manner of complete self-possession was admirable. His testimony, conclusive to the extent that it removed any doubt in the mind of the court as to the good-will of the university towards its professional school applicants, was delivered with the eloquence of a master preacher. Animosity Blamed Smith, when testifying, allowed his emotions to play havoc with his attitude in responding to questions of cross-examining counsel. He related that the reason for his being denied admission to the class was due to his relationship to Dr. Charles I. West, his father-in-law. A state of animosity existing between Dr. West, who is head of the school of Anatomy, and Dean Edward A. Balloch, Smith said, was the cause of the refusal of the school officials to let him enter the course. Smith admitted knowledge that the limit of admissions to the medical school is sixty, but declared that this limit is exceeded each year. Dr. Ballock Talks Dr. Balloch followed Smith on the stand. He denied that there had been any previous occasions where the rule governing the limit of freshmen to the medical school had been broken. He explained that while there were several instances where there was more than the required number in the first year, each was a case where the excess was made up of repeating students. The medical school head testified that though he be SORE LEGS MEALED. Open Legs, LEG Enlarged. Veine. Growing Eczema healed while you work. Write for free book. "How to heal my Sore Legs at home."

Lice Pharmacy. 1585 Green Bay Ave., Milwaukee. lieved, at the time that he approved Smith's entrance as the sixty-first student, that he was acting with authority, he had since realized that he had exceeded the bounds of his jurisdiction. Acted Merely as Officer Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of the university, was next called to testify. He proved that his only official connection with the case was as an administrative officer. He pointed out that Smith came to him and paid a part of his tuition just as other students do. As to what course Smith had employed to obtain the privilege of registering, Dr. Scott stated that he was in utter ignorance. Efforts Unsuccessful Dr. Michel O. Dumas, member of the executive committee Board of Trustees, produced as the next witness, testified that he had been officially connected with the university since 1924, and that during that time he was not aware of a single case where new students of the freshman medical class exceeded the number as prescribed by his committee. He stated that there were several occasions where congressional pressure was brought to bear in attempts to have certain individuals admitted after the limit had been exhausted, but in none of them, he said, were the efforts successful. Frederick D. Wilkinson, registrar of the school, outlined his scheme of rating applicants for the medical school freshman class. He explained that a system of awarding merits according to their scholarship records, was applied to designate how the list of applicants should be rated. Smith, according to this scheme, was number 101 on the list of freshmen. At no time, Mr. Wilkinson declared, was Smith fourth on the waiting list, as it had been testified that the latter told Dean Balloch when he was seeking admission. Explains Statement The climax of the case was reached when, during the testimony of the president, counsel for the plaintiff asked if he remembered telling Smith, during one of the conferences between them that "the only way you will ever get in the medical school will be for the courts to thrust an order down my throat." "When Mr. Smith and the three other students nailed in this case came to me, after they had instituted court action, I made the following statement." said Dr. Johnson. "Knowing as you do the embarrassing situation in which you place the university if you persist in this legal procedure, and knowing as you do our debt to every mother's son who seeks admission here, the university cannot possibly admit you unless it thrust down its threat by the courts." PASTOR AND ARCHITECT (Continued from page 1) es against him for the purpose of causing the church to rescind its award. Must Make Adjustment The court found that Mr. Lankford's contract with the church had been breached. Attorneys Houston & Houston, representing Mr. Lankford, stated that their client would dismiss the suit if the church would go forward with the work and award him the contract. Judge Cobb gave the church until December 22 to make satisfactory arrangements with the architect. If an agreement cannot be reached, he indicated, testimony will be taken concerning the value of the architect's services as a basis for awarding damages against the church. MORE BANK DECISION (Continued from page 1) file briefs. He intimated that he would dispose of this case on that day. Trial of the case was begun in the District Supreme Court, Monday, with Justice Gordon presiding. Receivers Cannot Pay In his opening statement Charles H.

HAD RIGHT TO COMPLAIN (Continued from page 1) rights as a citizen and a member of this community. I expect to continue in the exercise of such rights. Thanking you for the use of your columns. Officials of Divisions 10 and 13 of the public schools were exonerated of charges of intimidation, blacklisting and retaliation brought by Mrs. Simpson. The hearing was held Saturday before the committee on complaints and grievances of the Board of Education. In a letter to the board, November 10, Miss Simpson told of a "practice of soliciting funds to defray expenses of testimonials and banquets to school officials," which were very costly. As a "growing evil, a form of intimidation rendering those not contributing liable to be blacklisted," prevailed, she wrote. Later she stated that her charges grew out of an elaborate ceremony held in connection with a recent testimonial banquet to Garnet C. Wilkinson. Caused Stir From many sources letters came to the Tribune telling of the condition of which Mrs. Simpson complained. The practice had grown to abnormal proportions in recent years and all charitable organizations looked upon the school teachers as easy pickings by virtue of this state of affairs, according to teachers in all branches of the service. Deny Knowledge School officials denied knowledge of solicitation of school teachers for testimonials, and condemned the practice of individual teachers sending complaints to the board. The committee report was signed by Dr. J. Hyden Johnson and Mrs. M. W. Doyle, the other committee member, Dr. H. B. Learned, being absent in California.

Phone North 9674 BISHOP WALLS RAPS WHITE CHURCHMEN Takes Delegates to Council of Churches to Task for Racial Attitude Takes Delegates to Council of Churches to Task for Racial Attitude LOCHESTER, N.Y.—Bishop W. J. Walls, stormy petrel of the A.M.E. Zion Church, again came into the limelight when he took the white delegates to the Federal Council of Churches to task on the question of race quality at the quadrennial session here. In a discussion on the strategy of the church in unifying its resources to aid World Brotherhood some of the white delegates boldly professed their non-belief in racial equality. No Such Thing As Equality Dr. J. A. Vance, of the Presbyterian Church, Detroit, said that the constituent churches do not believe the enunciations of the Council on Brotherhood and World Community, Christian ideals and asked "Can we teach our people these ideals are to be practiced?" Dr. Critten, president of Colgate College, said that he does not believe there is any such thing as racial equality and that he thought no no one else in the audience believed it, and inquired what must be preached about it? Have Not Lived Christianity Bishop Walls said: "We have done everything to Christianity except preached it and lived it. That is a rather severe indictment but the whole thing resolves itself into the proposition of whether we will preach Christianity as the ideal to be served by us or an ideal to be made to serve our reservations and preconceived ends. We use such phrases as racial and social equality, as a fetish to conjure with. It is a sort of intellectual idolatry. As a matter of fact we do not claim current racial equality." Negro Has Paid the Price Reverting to equality of races, Bishop Walls said the black man regards Christianity, civilization and education and the English language worth the price he paid in the hardships of his American history, but that the day has come for him to enjoy these in increasing security. He merits the good will and assistance that Christianity and American justice guarantees. He should it first from the Christian Church and with this only will he be contented. He is very loyal but very determined. He knows he has paid the price. FRIENDSHIP BAPTIST First and H Sts., S.W. Rev. B. H.

Since there is no known specific cure for this disease, it must be managed through other courses. Try to avoid contracting it; and attempt to lessen its virulence should you contract it. To these ends he following measures are suggested: Avoid needless crowds. Take advantage of open air and sunshine. Avoid people who are coughing and sneezing. Wash hands well before eating. Do not use napkins, towels and drinking cups which have been used by others unless they have been thoroughly sterilized. Keep up general health, eat wholesome food, sleep seven hours.

Newsreel to Focus Game as Holiday Crowd Cheers Greek Letter Quints The making of pictures by the Fox Film Corporation, introducers of Movietone, will be the unusual feature of the annual Kappa-Omega fraternity basketball classic, slated for the Lincoln Colonnade, Wednesday. It will be the first time in the history of local sport that two of our own teams have been focussed by newsreel cameramag, and this novel attraction is expected to add more color to an already colorful affair. For the past three years, this early season battle between teams of the Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega, Psi Pi fraternities has been one of the outstanding events of the holiday season. J. Marcus E. Vance, promoter of the affair, has made it known that a record breaking crowd is expected to be on hand. He asserts that no effort has been spared to accommodate a capacity attendance. The Omega team will feature, in addition to its regular line-up Mac Weatherless, stellar floorman of Lincoln University, who is visiting his parents here over the Yule holidays. Kappa, on the other hand, boasts of a stellar array of basketers in Simpson, White, Woods, Jones, and Hinton. Both quints have been spending the last two weeks in strenuous preparation for the Wednesday contest John H. Burr, assistant director of physical education and coach of basketball at Howard University, and Sam Lacy, sport editor of the Washington Tribune, have been assigned to handle the officiating duties. FOURTE'N WIN VARSITY "B" AT BORDENTOWN BORDENTOWN, N.J., Dec. 12. —Fourteen members of the 1928 football squad were awarded varsity emblems by the Athletic Association of the Bordentown School at a dinner given to the forty-five squad members and coaches last night. Thomas Jackson, star 190-pound tackle for the past two years, was chosen as captain for the coming season, the varsity men voting being as follows: Harry Waples, Booker Tillman, Horace Russ, Clarence Dorssey, Thomas Jackson, John Stephenson, Esaias Lee, Edwin Patrick, Edgar Johnson, Howard S. Williams, Theodore Buchanan, James Simpson, Wesley Chavis, and Christopher Kellman Tillman, Russ, Dorsey, and Simpson, three backs and one end, will be lost by graduation this end, and Coach Watson will face a serious problem in replacing the services of these high scorers for the Blue. LICHTMAN FIVE TO MEET BALTIMORE SCOLASTICS, FRIDAY, DEC. 28 For their next big attraction at the Lincoln Colonnade, which will incidentally take place on Friday, December 28, instead of Thursday, the 27th, the Lichtman Carlisle Five will stack up against the fast Baltimore Scholastic. This is the same club that opened the season here against the Community Greater Five in the Colonnade. They are recognized by critics as one of the best teams ever to represent Baltimore. Their line-up with "Chink" Wyatt, Voy M Veney, Ed Allor, Willis, Rhodes and Payne, has been greatly strengthened by the acquisition of "Reds" Keller, the bespecked center of the Athenian Club. In their last appearance here, although they won, it was clearly seen that the lads from Baltimore lacked a center. Having acquired a very capable one they should make plenty of trouble for any team. However, it remains to be seen whether Keller will be a match for the elongated "Slim" Henderson. In their opening game the Carlisle tossers showed a high class brand of basketball. Their passing and shooting was a revelation to the five hundred fans who jammed the Colonnade. With the Lichtman players traveling at such a pace, a game with the fast-traveling Scholastics should be a real treat. The free admission for ladies before 8:30 will still be in vogue and at the rate they come in it is doubtful if there will be any space left for the male sex. There will only be one game, starting at 9:30 sharp. Dancing will be from 7:30 to 9:30, and 10:30 to 12:30. Come out and give the once-over to Washington's Super-Team. It's a wow!

Henderson and Davis in Limelight as Nearly 400 Fair Fans Cheer Deposits Opening Day $43,000 Deposits to Date $350,000 Resources $450,000 A relentless barrage of shots and an avalanche of baskets literally smothered the Washington Grays, (white) in their clash with the new Lightman Carlisles, at the Lincoln Colonade, last Thursday night. Introducing themselves in a most spectacular manner, the Lightman players walked off with a one-sided 48-26 verdict. A crowd of approximately 500 persons, three-fourths of which were members of the fair sex, were on hand as the Signpainters made their initial bow under the colors of the Lichtman Theatre. It was due largely to the exceptional offer of free admission to ladies before a certain hour that such an extraordinary female attendance was experienced. The game, for the first few minutes, was hotly contested, and was exceptional from a spectator's point of view. After those minutes, however, the superiority of the colored team was so much in evidence that it ceased to be a question of winner, but how large the score would be. Slim Henderson and Eddie Davis, sensational court performers of the Virginia Seminary and College, and members of the Carlisle Club, were easily the outstanding individuals of the pastime. By accounting for — of their team's points between them, the Seminary stars simply kept the audience on its feet with their uncanny floor and cage work. It was largely through these two that the nets of the Carlisle basket saw so much action. Mikey McDonald and Tommie Peck were leaders in the efforts of the white team to stem the tide of the Black and White.

W. Va.-At the annual football banquet tendered the Bluefield Institute football team by the Athletic Department, Artis Graves of Short Creek, West Virginia, was elected unanimously as leader for the 1929 season. Graves played fullback and was selected by most of the sport writers for the 1927 All-American team. WEBB TO CAPTAIN BISON ELEVEN Announcement by Dr. E. P. Davis, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control at Howard University last Saturday night, made it known officially that Harry Webb, tackle on the 1928 Bison eleven, had been selected to lead the Blue and White on the gridiron next year. The announcement was made on the occasion of the annual Letter Day Assembly, held in Rankin Memorial Chapel. Following an interesting talk by Baxter D. Goodall, editor of the Hilltop, student publication, member of the Board of Athletic Control and member of the Student Council, the following members were given football awards: Marshall, Mack, Young, Hawkins, Hayes, Coles, Payne, Sallie, Simpson, Sayles, Stokes, Drew, Webb, Dan Brown, Captain Ross and Manager Conner. NEW YORK.—A crowd which smashed all previous records of the St. Nicholas Arena set in on the proceedings as Kid Paluso, sensational Cuban hantamweight, literally tore to shreds the defense of Emil Paluso, Monday night, and won by a technical knockout, over Leo P. Flynn's star battler. Referee Jim Crowley stopped the fight in the eighth round after the Negro had rendered Paluso the most severe pasting the white boy has suffered in his career. Although his adversary was still on his feet and fighting back gamey, Kid Chocolate had so decisively beaten him, the action of the referee came as no surprise. It was, however, protested by Paluso's manager and a few of his cronies. Tearing into his opponent at the outset, the Cuban battler, with a terrific right to the head, closed Paluso's left eye, in the first round. From then on it was merely a story of how a courageous white lad struggled vainly in an effort to avoid the relentless two-handed attack of Chocolate. By the end of the fourth stanza, the white fighter's eye was entirely closed, still he fought back blindly and stubbornly. It was in this same fourth round, however, that Paluso gave the Kid his strongest opposition. His actions were indicative of the fighter who means to do or die, realizii- that his own finish is only a matter of time. For the whole three minutes of the seventh round Paluso was no more nor less than a target for the vicious punching of the Cuban Negro. Punch drunk and greggy from a series of rights to the bad side of his head, the New Yorker seemed to have been saved by the bell. Chocolate is signed to meet Pancho Dencio, Philippine battler, at the Olympic A.C. BALTIMORE, Md.-The Howard University Bisons, in their opening game of the 1929 season, succumbed to a decisive 40-42 licking at the hands of the local Athenian quintet, at the New Albert Auditorium, Friday night. Taylor, Howard's center, slipped through a score from the floor at the opening of the game. A pair by Powell and a single by Sheffey and Baskerville gave the Athenians an advantage of 8-2. The gap was closed up when Taylor scored a pair and Wood a single. Todd and Wood both scored, making it a tie of 10 all. Todd then scored two goals in rapid succession for the Athenians. At the start of the second half Todd registered a fine field goal, with one by Jackson, Baskerville, and Sheffey, followed with a score by Wood. Beasley was substituted at center for Taylor. Nothing happened until Sheffey Baskerville began their fast play.

(CNS).—Kid Chocolate, sensational Cuban bantamweight, defeated Johnny Helstein of Buffalo in a 10-round bout here tonight. Chocolate weighed 122 and Helstein 123. The Cuban boy had the American in a bad way on two occasions, Helstein taking a count of nine in the second round and being dropped for a count of one in the fifth. Helstein seldom was able to break through the Cuban's guard and was forced to clinch to escape Chocolate's snappy left jab, which continually found its mark. EIGHT TWO-CENT PAPERS COST WOMAN $400 Eight two-cent daily newspapers cost Mrs. Jennie Lewis, 38 years old, of 1740 Thirteenth street, northwest, exactly ten dollars and two cents, following her arrest, on Wednesday morning on a charge of petit larceny in connection with the theft of the papers from one of the numerous honor system racks about the city. Mrs. Lewis had the fine of ten dollars imposed on her by Judge Ralph Given, in police court, exactly five hours after she was conveved to the Nighthight Precinct in the automobile of J. J. Phillips, news agent, who caught her in the act of removing the papers without depositing the GRIDIROM TRACK Amassing a total of 41 points in the second half of their game with the DeHart Big Five, of Coatesville, Pa., Tuesday night, the Community Yellowjackets romped off with an easy 59-25 verdict in their second home stand of the 1929 season. Swinging into a deadly offensive which carried everything before it the Yellowjackets, in their final twenty minutes of play, increased a lead of 5 points, which they enjoyed at the rest period, to an advantage which was never even threatened by the invaders. The Pennsylvania team, proving a disappointment to the small crowd which turned out, led in the first few minutes when the locals seemed about to repeat their listless offering of the week previous when they were trounced by the Baltimore Scholasties. But this lead of the visitors was short-lived as a new combination displaced the starting Yellowjackets. With Slim Thomas and Soup Turner heading a revengeful Community attack, the last five to represent the Orange and Black Simply caged baskets at will. Smith, a diminutive lad of seventeen summers, was the best bet of the DeHart aggregation. On numerous occasions he exhibited tricks which caught the usually alert local guards flat-footed.

A lover's spat, a split and a hasty. marriage ‘on the part of the female member of the team is blamed for the severance of the partnership. Charles McClain, manager of the Royal Theatre in Philadelphia, is said to be the lucky man who swept the petite star off her feet and carried her to the altar after a whirlwind romance of one week. Plans Go Amiss Although the wedding took place in Philadelphia two weeks ago while the company was filling an engagement in that city it was @ dark secret to the members of the company who thought her dancing partner was ace high in the young woman's affections. Until cupid’s plans went amiss the young artists, who were the babies of the troupe, were insep- arable both on and off the stage and critics acclaimed them as com- ing dancing sensations. Back stage gossip says that the wedding followed a quarrel when Cole refused to break a contract he had made during a lay-off and rejoin the a Harlem” com- pany in Philadelphia. Miss Mec- Cormack immediately entered 2 love affair with McClain, and it culminated in a wedding before the week was up.

The sons are Allen, Howard, Ferdinand and John Williams, and each has traveled around the world in his own right. The boys were widely separated when the death of their mother, on a farm in Howard County, Md., recalled them. It was there on Christmas day that the father at a special reunion dinner requested that they all stick together in the future. His suggestion was heeded and the two oldest brothers, who had studied the pastry and baking trade in a New York culinary school offered to teach the trade to the other brothers if they would stick. The partnership was formed and they have been doing business at the U street stand for the past two years. The father is a retired dentist, being a pioneer in the profession in Baltimore years before the famous Baltimore fire. Now he "just sticks around and holds the boys together."
