Pastor of Vermont Ave. Baptist Church Dies CAPITAL EDITION Washington Tribune CLUES STILL MISSING IN SLAYING Three Suspects Freed In Mystery Death of Apartment House Janitor PROBE VICE RING With all efforts to pin the murder of "Slim" Woodson, a porter in a white gambling club, on three Negroes proving futile for lack of evidence, police were forced to direct their attentions toward the white members of the club in an effort to solve the mystery, this week. Ulysses Dawes, 25, living at 531 Twenty-third street, northwest, and Joseph Johnson, 48 years old, living in the same block as that in which the murder was committed who were arrested Sunday, were released Tuesday morning. Their arrests were brought about when it was learned that each of them had been seen in the basement of the building a few minutes after Woodson had been found dead. Woman Freed Ida Kelly, the woman whom it was said had had an argument with Woodson shortly before the murder, was also allowed to quit the confines of the House of Detention. James Davis, a furnace tender at the Tenth street address was also arrested in connection with the crime. He is still being held. Question Whites Woodson was found in a hallway in an apartment vacated recently by a white gambling ring with his skull fractured. He had been employed as a porter at the establishment. Police are also looking for a group of whites who are said to have frequented the place. TELLS OF BELGIAN CONGO CRUELTIES BOSTON, Mass. Dec.-On returning from a trip to Africa, C. W. Williams, clerk in the Boston Juvenile Court, further substantiated reports coming out of the Belgian Congo of savage brutalities against the natives. Williams declared that the 10,000 white agents of imperialism, who rule the 15,000,000 Negroes there are exercising extreme measures of terrorism in the effort to cow the natives and prevent the passing of nordic power and influence. Prisoners are driven to forced labor with unpadded iron collars and chains about their necks and are goaded and beaten to their tasks with rhinoceros-hide whips. These workers are forced to work twelve and fifteen hours a day. Any semblance of organization, political or otherwise, is promptly broken up, so scared is the Belgian government of a revolt. In spite of all these repressive measures, the Belgian Congo has been the scene of several fierce revolts in the past, and it is not unlikely that the present savage repression will prepare the way for another and more united revolt which will end in throwing off the Belgian slavesdrivers. 1. Raid on Woman's Home Nets Police 144 Quarts A charge of illegal possession of intoxicating liquor was lodged against Daisy Moxley, 2336 Ninth street, northwest, by officers of the Eighth Precinct following a raid on the premises she occupies, last Sunday. According to Officers Jones, Tolson and Williams of the Prohibition Enforcement Squad, Mrs. Moxley had 144 quarts of whisky in the house at the time of the raid. Off to Italy PETER J. DR. E. E. JUST, head of the department of Psychology at Howard University, who sails for Italy on January 3, to do special research work in science. He will spend two weeks in Paris before sailing for Naples. In May he will lecture in Germany and at Oxford and Cambridge before returning to the States. His daughter, Margaret, will accompany him.-Scurlock Photo. REV. J. E. WILLIS SUCCUMBS HERE REV. J. E. WILLIS SUCCUMBS HERE Rev. James Edward Willis, for the past 17 years pastor of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, this city, died at his residence, 1318 Riggs street, northwest, on Wednesday night. Death, which has been lingering since last June when it became necessary for Rev. Willis to visit North Carolina for his health, though it had been anticipated, came as a shock. It ended one of the most colorful clerical careers the city has ever known. Born in Virginia Born in Orange County, Va., in 1875, Rev. Willis came to Washington at the age of 13 years. He attended school here for a brief period, later entering the Piedmont Institute at Charlottesville, Va. After terms in the pastorates of the Shiloh Baptist Church, Standardsville, Va., and the Mount Calvary Baptist Church, Orange County, Va., Rev. Willis was called to the Vermont Avenue Church here. 'Little David" He entered his new role on June 11, 1911, and immediately began winning friends. He built a congregation which at one time stood second to none of his denomination in the city. On numerous occasions members of his church referred to him as "Little David," but according to the opinion of his most ardent admirers, a more fitting title would be "David." These references are made in appreciation of his generous, affable spirit. Funeral plans have not yet been consumed. PRUDENTIAL MAKES PROGRESS IN 1928 The Prudential Bank has shown remarkable growth during the year ending, according to a statement made by Edward A. Baker, cashier. This bank closes the year with resources in excess of 450,000 and with deposits over $350,000. The bank has enjoyed a steady growth since its organization in July, 1923. On its board of directors are some of the most prominent business men in the nation's capital. Several Play Santa Claus Many responses were made to Mr. Frazier's request to aid the eight kiddies on Franklin street for Christmas. Special thanks are made to Mrs. W. H. S., Mrs. E. M., Mrs. P. R. B., and Master J. W. W., who were exceptionally liberal The Year in Review 1928 By J. A. G. LuValle There are a few activities of the race for 1928 that should be mentioned in this the final issue of this paper for the year. This has not been an outstanding year for many sensational events of national import, the flaring red headlines notwithstanding. However, as a whole, we can record an even tenure of progress in practically all lines of endeavor of the race. Banking and Commerce We can be proud of the fact that there has not been a single bank failure among our group this year. On the other hand, those that are established have reported more depositors, larger amounts of deposits and increased resources. One has gone over the $2,000,000 mark. The Douglas National Bank of Chicago reports a capital and surplus of $270,000, deposits of $1,500,000, with 77,000 depositors, and resources of $2,111,000.00. It is only six years old, having received its charter in 1922. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company, of Washington, reports resources of $5,839,198.62; insurance in force amounting to $73,897,069.00; of the assets $513,863.85 is listed as cash and the company declared a ten per cent dividend on its capital stock of $250,000, which gave $25,000 to its stockholders. It is 31 years old. The winning of the suit by the heirs of sixteen members of the old Mutual Benevolent Association, of Washington, D.C., involving property valued at $275,000.00 was a notable feature of 1928. This property is located in Washington and represents an original investment of $5,000, the purchase price of a plot of ground for a cemetery in 1870. Fifty heirs have been listed who will participate in returns when this property is sold and the estate settled. The death of Geo. W. Buckner, manager of the Peoples Finance Corporation of St. Louis slowed down the affairs of the corporation for a while, but his assistant was made manager at their fall meeting and the corporation is moving on its steady way. It is housed in a five-story building of its own. In Education Much local interest centers around Howard University because of several features held up there. The dedication and opening of the new medical building and complete renovation of the old medical building at a cost of $500,000 marked a big step forward in education. first centers around Howard Hall held up there.

Just to continue his research in biology and the use of the ultra violet x-ray in modifying development. Dr. Just will spend much of this time in Italy. This is an important contribution to Negro education and is just recognition of Dr. Just's ability as an authority in biology. It will enable the University to build up a department offering instruction to graduate students with the view of developing biologists, who might fill important positions in other Negro colleges. The annual report of the Secretary of the Interior shows there are 77 institutions doing college work for Negroes where we had 31 ten years ago. The enrollment last year totaled 13,860 students, compared with 2,132 in 1917. The report also shows that there were 15 Negroes to every 10,000 of population attending college while 90 whites out of 10,000 were enrolled. A bill legalizing Federal Support of Howard University was passed by the seventieth Congress and signed by President Coolidge in December. This eliminates the yearly harassing of the appropriations by Southern Congressmen blinded by racial prejudice. The outstanding commencement feature of the year was that of John D. Rockefeller Jr., at Fisk University. In accepting the invitation he said: "My interest in the colored race and in the problems which it involves is urging me to say, yes." This was a notable occasion. The Student Volunteer Convention, whose membership is made up of colored and white college students of the South, met at Duke University, Durham, N.C., during the year, elected Miss Maggie Simpson as its secretary. She is the first colored student to be honored with an office since the organization of this movement. William Henry Hastie, of Washington, D.C., made the editorial board of Harvard Law Review through his scholarship attainments, in his first year. This is the highest honor that can come to a member of Harvard's Law School. He is the second Negro to make the Review Board. Miss Ethel C. Harris, head of the department of mathematics in colored high schools in the District of Columbia, was given the first national award of the foreign fellowship, of $1,000 by the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, at Howard Chapel. This gave Miss Harris a year's study in Germany, where she is now on a year's leave from her work here. Old and New and New Old and New Fire Captains Had Similar Careers It looks like a long step from commanding an engine company of crack firefighters to doing needlework on ladies' trinkets, but that is what retired Captain Charles E. Gibson was doing when Lieutenant J. B. Keyes was promoted to the captaincy of Engine Company No. 4 last week. The veteran captain, who was retired last September after 27 years of active service is 52 years of age and amuses himself by decorating and making pocketbooks and handkerchief bags of leather, a trade which he learned while confined in erans' H.

The speakers for the affirmative are Henry M. Fox and Tobias K. Fairbanks, members of the Harvard Liberal Club. The Howard speakers are Roert E. Dandridge and Robert A. Burrell. The latter combination met Northwestern University last year in debate at Washington. The debate is to be held in the Civic Club, 18 E. 10th street, New York City.

Sheely, white, for postmaster here. According to Ralph Mellet, political writer for the Press-Scimitar, Memphis Daily, the following is stated: It was Sheely who gave the politicians a man-sized club with which they are, now slamming his political head. The club was an innocent looking little statement he issued on his appointment as acting postmaster. It was typed on a prescription blank of the drug store which Sheely has maintained "on the same corner since 1899." Innocent "Dynamite" But for all present purposes the prescription blank was laden with something about 500 times as strong as strychnine. "I am deeply obligated to J. Will Taylor and R. R. Church, to whom I owe the appointment," read the signed statement of Sheely, and this is the platform on which the bitter but silent fight on Sheely is being waged. Sheely has made a good postmaster, even his political enemies admit. He has kept his office free from political turmoil, attended to business and had a pleasant word for everybody. The fight is not on Sheely. The fight is on Bob Church. If Sheely should win the permanent employment, some fear the public would consider Bob Church still to be in the saddle. They also claim to have understood that Hoover proposes to dethrone the so-called "carpetbagger" bosses in the South. Although Hoover doesn't take the reins till March, his close personal friends already wield tremendous political influence. At present they are believed to be using this influence to prevent (Continued from above) LITTLE GIRL GETS GIFT AUTOMOBILE PRIZE The beautiful automobile which was on display at the Home Furniture Company, Seventh and M streets, northwest, and valued at $75, was won by John W.

Wherever Juanita goes in her automobile, she attracts considerable attention. Her tiny feet are just able to reach the pedals. The automobile was given away by Ralph A.

The new captain entered the service in 1902 as a watchman, having made the highest average of forty applicants. He was promoted to driver in 1910. On April 3, 1919, the first all-colored company of fire fighters was formed and he was made lieutenant under Captain Gibson. The two served together until the retirement of the latter in September since which time he has served in the capacity of acting captain. 900 From a tiny member of a Sunday School choir to a concert artist is the course Miss Ethyle Wise has covered in a few short years.

Vance, erstwwhile basketball promoter, who was literally swallowed up following the Kappa Alpha Psi-Omega Psi holiday game. He had the $400 gate receipts in his pocket. The contesting teams and the officials of the game were unpaid as was the firm which printed the advertisement for the affair. The orchestra which furnished music for the dance program was paid, but the management of the Lincoln Colonnade, where the contest was staged, received only a small part of the sum which was supposed to have been paid. Promoter Gone About 550 cash customers who jammed the Colonnade to near capacity were on hand to witness the annual battle between the two teams, which for several seasons has been presented as the holiday classic. The game was played, but when the managers of the contesting quints applied at the gate for their share of the proceeds, both the promoter of the affair and the money taken in as paid admissions had disappeared. The teams had been guaranteed a sum of $75 each, to be paid them at the close of the game. Neither received any part of that amount.

TWO LOCKE REVIEWS RACE CONFER'NCE Leader Says Recent Meet Was Most Comprehensive Ever Held The National Interracial Conference held here last week was the most comprehensive and representative conference ever held in connection with the status and condition of the Negro in America according to a review made by Dr. Alaine Locke, of Howard University, this week. Dr. Locke states that never before has there been such a large number of sponsoring organizations connected with any one conference; that in addition to the many organized groups invited to send delegates many other organizations and activities were represented through delegates at large. Officials of the various funds and foundations, together with government officials, labor leaders, college presidents, welfare workers, physicians, and clergymen were present and actively participated in the conference. White colleges both North and South sent representatives as well as many of the leading Negro schools. Closed Sessions According to the statement of a member of the executive committee, the morning and afternoon sessions of the conference were closed to the public and confined to a maximum of 200 delegates in order to facilitate discussion upon the prepared data provided by the research committee. Many Represented Individuals, representing different schools of thought, who have been formerly regarded more or less antagonistic toward each other, came together for a most cordial consideration of the matter presented in the conference. Principal Robert R. Moton of Tuskegee and President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard served as presiding officers of the various sessions. Among those participating in the program were Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, Monroe Work of Tuskegee; Prof. Charles Johnson of Fisk University; Dr. John Hope of Morehouse College; Prof. H. A. Miller of Ohio State University; John P. Frey of American Federation of Labor; Mr. Embree, president of the Rosenwald Fund; Canon Stokes of the Phelps-Stokes Fund; and Mr. Glenn of the Russell Sage Foundation; James Weldon Johnson of New York; and Dr. A. B. Jackson of Howard University. 15.6...选答案 Rosenwald Here In so far as the relation of the conference to Howard University the climax came in the closing session when Julius Rosenwald declared his interest in the university, stating that he had spent a portion of the time during his present stay in Washington, visiting members of both houses of Congress and pledging his friends to the support of the university. Mr. Rosenwald was paid a public tribute by the audience. The conference achieved the realization that the Negro problem is not sectional but national, different only in degree of emphasis; that it is neither exclusively the white man or the black man's burden, but is fundamentally and permanently interracial.

Taylor, a garage helper. Relating a story of how Taylor had abused and violated his marriage obligation to her by becoming associated with another woman, who after luring him to Niagara Falls, N.Y., followed him on his return to this city, Mrs. Taylor moved Judge Ralph Given into a state of sympathetic passion. Love Letters Shown Although Miss Sarah Jackson Taylor, with whom the man had been arrested while they were in a house on Ninth street, admitted that she was from Niagara Falls, she emphatically denied that she had had any previous acquaintance with Taylor. She denied that several love letters which Mrs. Taylor presented as evidence were written by her, and it was only after a comparison of the handwriting with a number of phrases she was directed, by the court, to write that the judge believed her guilty. Ordered to Leave The court, in suspending a sentence of 90 days over the head of the two defendants, advised Taylor that it was only in consideration of his wife and children, who were without other means of support, that he escaped jail. Miss Taylor, who declared that she had only come from Niagara Falls for the purpose of visiting a sister, was also placed on probation for one year, and advised that she had best leave the city. BRITISH FOMENT REBELLION IN SYRIA JERUSALEM, Dec. (CNS).—A widespread revolt is expected to embroil tribes in Trans-Jordan because of unrest in Arabia, where more and more tribes are getting out of control of Ibn Saud, of sultan Nedj. The Emir Abdullah, ruler of Trans-Jordan, is at the same time mobilizing for an attack on Ibn Saul, but is relying mainly on British planes and armored cars. for the Memphis postoffice applicants. This would give Sheely a chance to get on the eligible list. But the Civil Service Commission is not keen to order it. Washington advises that they have had so much trouble at Memphis they besitate to act. Politicians see in the delay the influence of Church's enemies. If Sheely can be kept in his present status until Hoover comes in, they have no doubt that a Republican who has always fought Bob Church will be named. "We don't care so much about the Memphis postmastership" the lily whites say, "but we want Hoover to build up a strong white man's party in the South. The time is ripe." So the mild-mannered, eager-toplease Ed Sheely finds himself a political weathervane. DROPSY TREATED ONE WEEK FREE. Short breathing relieved in 36 to 48 hours; swelling reduced in 15 to 20 days.

Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia, to increase the salaries of the personnel of his office, including his own, in accordance with the provisions of the Welch act. In a recent decision the comptroller general held that there was no authority under the provisions of the Welch act for the action of the recorder of deeds in first reducing the compensation of the personnel of his office effective July 1, 1928, and then computing the automatic salary increases authorized by this law effective on the same date, on the reduced salary rates fixed by the administrative office, the net result being the payment of the same salary rate or a lower salary rate after July 1, 1928. The salary rates of the entire personnel of the recorder's office, Mr. McCarl asserted, are required to be properly adjusted as of July 1, 1928, to grant the automatic increases authorized and required by law and a supplemental payroll should be submitted to his office for audit. "I Love Her," Wails Hubby Who Assaulted Mate Charged with an assault on his wife, Susie, Charles Argo, 511 M street, northwest, pleaded guilty and then begged for clemency of the judge in police court, Wednesday morning.

Argo, alleged to have attacked his wife in the company of two of the latter's friends, asked that the court be lenient with him since he had realized his mistake. "I love her, Judge your honor," said Argo, "but she talked back to me, and I slapped her. I didn't knock her down. Judge, I'll swear it, and if you let me go this time, Judge, honest I'll never do it again as long as I live."

M. Grace, upon his first arrival at the House of Prayer at Sixth and M streets since his acquittal on charges of misusing the funds of the church. He is to arrive here in the near future. Bishop Grace who is founder of the House of Prayer, went to trial last Spring on the embezzlement charges in the Mecklenbur County, N. C., Superior Court. He was convicted and given a sentence of two years in the penitentiary. He appealed to the State Supreme Court, which a few weeks ago reversed the lower court, and the "bishop" was subsequently freed on the grounds of insufficient evidence. Thousands Anxious His trial was eagerly watched by his followers, who are members of the House of Prayer established in several cities. The members are said to number 80,000. Only six joined in the accusation against him, it is stated, and these were not members of his Charlotte church at the time the alleged offense was committed. Most of his members looked upon the charges as an attempt to damage the "bishop's" reputation and wrest power from him. "Bishop" Grace makes his headquarters in Newport News, where he conducts regular services. Faith healing is one of the features of his meetings, and wherever he has pitched tent, thousands have attended his services. He conducted tent services here all summer in the southwest section. Many were baptized during his stay here. STUDENT OFF TO FLORIDA Ira P. Davis, a senior dental student at Howard University, left Friday for his home, Orlando, Fla.

Lanky Jones vs. Slim Henderson should bean attraction in itself; one that the local fans have not seen be- fore and probably. will not see a- gain very soon. It is a well-known ‘fact that “Slim” is “poison” to the average team, but. just how. he will ‘shape -up galt somio ‘real competition remains to be _scen. “Slim” has not béen extended in the Colonnade since 1926 when the Carlisle quint defeated the im- pregnable Washington Yankees and the Veteran “Nate” Sauber made Henderson go the limit. This ‘game will be the first. of three super-specials that the Car- lisle quint has booked for the sea- son. It will, no doubt, prove a big social as'well as’ a'big sport- ing event. “On ali super-special games (which incidentally will only take Place -nbout ‘once month) the ree admission for ladies will be limited to 8 p.m.. instead of 8:00. ‘The admission after 8 p.m. for la- dies will be fifty cents. ‘The admis- sion for, gents will be seventy-five feiee There willbe: reserved seats.

BABY JOE CLAIMS 140-POUND TITLE , LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Follow- ing the announcement of Eddie Sears that Mushy Callahan, junior welterweight champion, had quit, Larry Licenstein, manager of Baby Joe Gans, got out letters to the various boxing commissions claim- ing the 140 title for the California piiaey It is believed that Ruby Goldstein, of New York, is the on- — outstanding boxer in this — who will likely file a similar claim. The claim of Baby Joe Gans is based on his defeat of Callahan at 187 pounds prior to the latter's winning of the title from Pinky Mitchel. Callahan and Gans met in cha 1926. This marked the Coast champion’s first big shot. He has fought about six- York during the pest sir wonths, 01 ing the past six months, holding his own and making out- standing ee. ‘in his class.

It was Captain George E. Byrd, who was playing his last game for the Blue and White, that led the attack that spelled defeat for the Pawing and Clawing Panthers. ‘Twice.did Captain Byrd cross the goal line as a result of his uncan- ny ability to snatch passes from ail angles in the field, Capt. “Jazz” as he is often called, ran a full 50 yards for the first score when Jones winges, him a sliort pass about 10 yards over the line. He stroked down the sideline with two stal- wart’ escorts, Morton and Guess. Captain Byrd ‘was not. alone in his glory for Beau Guess, a prod- uct of the far West—where men are men, and women are gover- nors—was a hero, colorful in vic- tory. Guess was one of the pow- ers behind the ram that registered seventeen first downs to Union's two. Guess accounted for a touch- down. While Byrd, and stable mates were storming all over the field that young fellow named Brenux, captain and quarterback for the Pawing Panthers was throwing a football after the manner of a sharp shooter as he whipped pass after pass to his temmates. Breaux was colorful in running up punts, but his adversary had him a bit when it came:to gaining. Panthers put up a determined fight in the early part of the game, and also when any. took the field again after the half when six points stood against them. Union's line functioned at times, well, as they held those rip- ping backs of the Seasider's twice when their goal line was in dan- ger.

Gallie DeGaston furnishes some of the cleanest and most laughable comedy that has been heard here for some time.

Two Talkies at the Republic Next Week "Lonesome" a story of a romance of a boy and girl, workers in a big city, who feel the grip of lonesomeness amid the millions among whom they live, will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday and Monday, December 29, 30 and 31. Romance, tragedy and eventual happiness follow in dramatic sequence. To those who are lonesome this picture will be especially appealing. To everyone it will prove a delightful tale filled with absorbing drama. "Lonesome" is one of those simple stories that come unhealed, but lives forever in your memory. The gripping dialogue—for it is a Movietone—the elaborate sound effects and the musical setting makes "Lonesome" ideal entertainment. The Warner Bros.' Vitaphone production of "Caught in the Fog," a crook melodrama will be shown on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 1, 2, 3 and 4. Conrad Nagel and May McAvoy who have the best voices on the screen are the featured players. The action of the story takes place on a houseboat and concerns the theft of a string of pearls.

The entertainment is best described by a quotation used by Mr. Brooks himself when he invites the patrons to jump up and dance if they feel like it because "This isn't a theatre any more, it is a club." The formality of the average road show is completely abolished and the actors put over their offerings with a homelike air that makes one feel that they are right in their own parlor and the gang just dropped in for a little fun. Personality Plus The club plan gives the artists an opportunity to display a stored up bit of talent that only impromptu bills afford; as a result the patrons get a better run for their money. Undoubtedly the favorite of the holiday offering was Charles Ray, a jolly boy with a winning smile, a voice with an appealing note and an airy personality, all wool and a yard wide. Miss Otis Siterave, a girl who is just as good looking up close when she leads her chorus of comely chorines out on the runaway as she is behind the footlights, also has an adequate supply of "it."

There will be a complete change of Vitaphone and Movietone acts with each change of feature picture. Spectacular Holiday Bill At the Howard Next Week Beginning Monday matinee December 21, the Howard Theatre begins its second week of stage presentations and selected photoplays. For the coming week Shelton Brooks will again be the master of ceremonies of the show that will make you happy for the new year. The production, "The Big Show" will be just as lavish and spectacular as the one presented during Christmas week which was so greatly enjoyed by all who attended the performances. In addition to Shelton Brooks and the Howardettes will be seen Potney Dandridge, Charles Ray, Galli De Gaston, Kitty Brown and a talented array of visiting artists. In addition to the regular midnight ramble which is held every Friday night beginning at 12:15 there will also be held on Monday night, December 21, at 12:15 a special midnight ramble for the express purpose of celebrating the New Year. For this midnight ramble there will be many added attractions and novel features that will be enjoyed by everybody. Seats for this performance are now on sale in the box office of the theatre. On the screen Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday will be seen Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle in their latest comedy success, "Beau Broadway." This is a sparkling vehicle that outranks their previous screen plans in smartness and sophistication. On Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be seen the real he man of the screen, Richard Dix, in his latest starring vehicle, "Maran of the Marines," supported by none other than the charming and lovable Ruth Elder, who gained such popularity in her daring flight, in attempting to cross the Atlantic. "Maran of the Marines" is a story of a youth who got into trouble and it took a few Chinese bandits and a thrilling fight to get him back in good graces in winning his general's daughter. It is a picture that is hair-raising, humorous and highly dramatic from start to finish. "UNCLE TOM" BARRED IN BIRMINGHAM BIRMING H A M, Ala., Dec. (CNS)—This city, in a state which has hundreds of Ku Klux Klan lynchings and whippings to its credit, so many that last year, 84 were recorded it one county alone, has barred the showing of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in movie form. The ruling class of business men and white planters fear that it would encourage rebellions on the part of the innumerable Negro workers held in peacage and serfdom in this state. The legal excuse given is that "it might excite hatred." MAXWELL IN SOUTH Joseph H. Maxwell, 2018 Georgia avenue, northwest, left Sunday morning for his native home, Savannah, Ga. He motored.

Fannie Brice, Belle Baker, Blossom Seely and Sophie Tucker, a quartette of the most outstanding artists the white race has produced in the field of syncopation, started on their road to fame by using the song "Lovie Joe," a number that Jordan wrote on a scrap of paper, forgot and then revived in 1910. Was Hit Miss Brice, who has just completed her first synchronized picture for one of the largest movie firms of Hollywood, was discovered in a cheap burlesque house by Jordan and recommended to Flo- Home of Vitaphone and Movietone renz Ziefgeld who was planning his first "follies." The producer looked her over and asked Jordan to write her a number which he did and she became an instant hit. Could Not See Show The irony of it all was that because the show was produced on the New York Roof where Negroes were refused admittance, Jordan never heard his song from the stage. Night after night he stood on the sidewalk in the rain and heard the orchestra above the din play enchore after enchore. He became so disgusted that he sailed for England vowing never to return to America. Another oddity in the strange career is that the song writer only took seven music lessons in his life. In 1893 his mother washed for an old German instructor to pay for the music lessons of her two children, Joe and his sister, Clementine.

Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer PICTURE 'Deep Harlem' is Revival of 'Old Smarter Set' Show HOWARD THEATRE Big Midnight Ramble, Friday Night, 12:15 If Show Scores on Broadway it Will Establish Precedent By Ralph Matthews NEW YORK—Can a show that has once been junked and relegated to the theatrical attic be revived as a Broadway success? That is the question that will be answered if "Deep Harlem" which opens a the Lyric Theatre soon. "Deep Harlem" is a revival of the 1917 road show of Whitney and Tutt's "Smarter Set" Company, known then as "My People." There are few changes in the production as it was presented in 1917. The sequences are the same, beginning as it does with the splendor of an African kingdom and tracing the development of the race through the desert to the bondage of American and winding up in Harlem, New York, the place that has won the distinction in American literature of being "Nigger Heaven." All Stars Now Another coincidence is that Miss Anita Stinnett, wife of the imitable Chappie Chappelle, who now takes the leading feminine role as the African princess, was a chorus girl in the same production exactly twelve years ago. Many others who served in the ranks of "My People" have risen to fame of their own record. Mamie Smith, the 200-pound Queen of the Blues was also a petite chorus girl in the same show. There were a few present-day celebrities among the chorus boys too. William Fountain, who was selected for a role in "Hallelujah" was one. Sam Gray, manager of the Silas Green shows, was another. Nat Cash, who is staging shows for Leonard Harper, and Babe Townsend, who made a creditable record with the Lafayette Players as a dramatic star, were also in the line. Twenty-Four Years Together Salen Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, the producers of the show, if successful, will realize a dream of a lifetime. 1929 will mark their 24th year as a team. They are natives of Logansport, Inn., and have one of the most unique careers of any team on the stage. They appeared on the American stage at that period just between the balmy days of Williams and Walker and the renaissance which ushered in "Shuffle Along" and the succeeding Broadway shows. The "Smarter Set" Company was the connecting link between these two very definite periods in Negro theatricals. Between the years of 1909 and 1924 Whitney and Tutt wrote and produced a complete new show annually. While this may be the first time that the revival of a complete show has ever been attempted, it is also a fact that bits of "Shuffle Along" were done for many years by Miller and Lyles before they got their big break. Their store scene was presented under the name "Who's Stealing", their election skit was done under the name of the "Mayor of Jimtown", and their boxing act wls familiar on the Keith circuit for seasons. "How Come" had a similar development, as Eddie Hunter did his "Business Man" skit over the T.O.B.A. long before he became a Broadway star. Pola Negri and John Gilbert at the Lincoln Theatre Next Week Pola Negri in "The Woman from Moscow" comes to the Lincoln Theatre, Saturday, Sunday RALPH FORBES, ZVA VON BERNE and JOHN GILBERT in THE MAJORS OF THE DEV and Monday, December 29, 30 and 21, and is declared by Hollywood to be the most dramatic screen story of her career. The story has a powerful central situation—Miss Negri falls in love with the man she believes guilty of murdering her fiance and whom she has sworn to deliver to his enemies. The story calls upon all of the star's dramatic power. Norman Kerry was selected from a long list of leading men for the part of the suspected murderer. Ludwig Berger, famous European direc- POLLY ANN YOUNG and JOHN GILBERT in THE MASKS OF THE DEVIL tor, was brought to America to direct this production. It has a royal setting in modern Russia and later in the story, a brilliant, rich Parisian background. There will also be seen and heard selected Vitaphone presentations and also the Movietone News. John Gilbert comes to the Lincoln Theatre, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, January 1, 2, 3 and 4 in "The Masks of the Devil." John Gilbert hopes that the motion picture public will remember him as an artist of characterization rather than as a screen lover. In his new starring picture, however, "The Marks of the Devil," a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production Gilbert excels in both types of role. The love scenes are as intense as the famous ones of "Flesh and the Devil," while in his characterization of the conscience-less scientist who comes to see in his own features the lineaments of the devil. Gilbert does the best work of his career. gregation by a 33-13 victory. TUSKEGEE AND STATE NORMAL IN TIE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. —For two successive seasons Tuskegee and State Normal have battled to a draw. Last year the Hornets and the Tigers fought it out to a 0-0 tie and the game this year ended in a 6-6 score. Both kickers failed to untie the point by the placement route. He plays the role of a young Viennese aristocrat who dissects souls with as much ease as though they were chemicals. All his leisure hours are spent in a series of passionate love affairs. Finally he meets one woman he wants that he cannot have. Through suffering and sacrifice his own soul is born. Victor Seastrom directed the production. This cast is a brilliant one, including Alma Rubens, Theodore Roberts, Eva von Berne, Polly Ann Youg, Ralph Forbes and others. As an added attraction for the holiday season there will be seen and heard on the Movietone that famous colored singer George Dewey Washington in a selection of popular numbers. McGOWAN LEADS 1929 HAMPTON ELEVEN By James B. Clarke HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—At a banquet tendered the football squad of Hampton Institute by the loyal supporters among the faculty and workers it was announced that sixteen ironmen would receive the school insignia, the Hampton "H". Coach Smith also announced that Charles McGewan, of Kansas City, Kansas, had been chosen as captain of the football team for 1929. Gold footballs will also be represented to the letter men for their work as champions of the C.I.A.A. McGewan succeeds Captain Geo. E. Byrd, who has played his four year out in the association. During that time he played on three championship teams, one in 1925, one in 1926, and the last one in 1928.

Last year the Hornets and the Tigers fought it out to a 0-0 tie and the game this year ended in a 6-6 score. Both kickers failed to untie the point by the placement route. The teams gave a fine exhibition of good clean sportsmanship. The crowd watched with interest and cheered vociferously when the kickers got off good punts or the players completed their passes, and when there was good blocking and clean hard tackling. BLUEFIELD-WILEY GAME CALLED OFF MARSHALL Texas.—The Wiley College - Bluefield intersectional championship battle which was scheduled for this city on December 12, has been cancelled because of inability on the parts of the principals to agree on contract terms and conditions.

BABE HURD, FAMOUS JOCKEY, PASSES (By the Associated Negro Press) LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Babe Hurd, famous jockey in the early eighties who rode Appollo to victory in the Kentucky Derby at Louisville in 1882, died Friday at Long Ridge near Lexington. He was also a great steeplechase rider, and during the last twelve years has been employed by W. V. Thraves on the Long Ridge Farm. There are only a few of the old timers left. During the recent races in Louisville, there were two noted colored jockeys present. William Walker, who rode Ten Brook in the famous race between Ten Brook and Molly McCarty, and William (Monk) Overton, was present as a trainer. "Say, old man, you are a sight!

Philip Randolph. This will represent practically ninety-five per cent of the porters and maids in the Pullman Service, as the figure of twelve thousand or more porters and maids on the payroll, which was represented by the company was intended so nearly as possible to prevent the organization from being able to claim a majority. However, the United States Mediation Board declared that the Brotherhood was a FOR A REAL HA lawful and logical representative of the porter and maids. The various high-powered chiefs of the Porters' Union: M. P. Webster, president/organizer of Chicago Division; A. L.

The young men who have been recently recruited in the service will be especially sought after. Through an intensive literature, and man to man propaganda method, the porters will be enlisted. In the interest of this drive, a dispensation on joining fees, will be declared the first of the year, according to Randolph. VISIT NEW YORK Mr. and Mrs. William O.

TRUSTY KILLS CONVICT BATON ROUGE, La. (CNS)—Wiley Allen, a white trusty at Camp E, Argola prison farm, shot to death Jeff Brown, a Negro convict. Allen's excuse for the murder is that Brown cursed him, where upon, for this great provocation, Al- len shot him six times and concluded by knocking his brain out with the butt of his revolver. Allen is a second termer, and about a year ago shot and killed Lee Bell, a convict, who he claimed was trying to escape. For this he was made a trusty.

The proposed building program as announced by the Board of Education at its meeting last week will cover a period from 1930 to 1935. The program will give for the colored schools, forty additional rooms in the elementary department; a junior high school of twenty-four rooms and a senior high school to be located in the densely populated northwest business section, that will care for more than a thousand students. The present program which will be completed by 1931, will proftan the residential population. While we are twenty-five per cent of portables now in service in divisions ten to thirteen.

The second program from 1930-35 will provide new facilities to care for the increased population and the constant shifting of population. While the number of new rooms is definitely settled upon, the location of some of the new buildings should be flexible enough to meet the needs of a given community or section of the District. The northwest is to have a junior high near 18th and Bennings. This will improve the facilities in that section and will be an economic saving to the parents of the students of that school. While the public schools of the District are adding new buildings and increasing and improving their facilities, the private schools are looking to the future with new building programs to care for increased enrollment. The National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Mrs. Nannie H. Burroughs is principal, will add another story to their new trades building next year and proposes a new building for a chapel and diving hall to cost more than $200,000. Since Howard University has been nationalized we may expect an improved building program to care for its increased enrollment and the replacement of old buildings which have served their time. The outlook for bigger, better and advanced school facilities both in public and private schools of the District of Columbia is not only promising but encouraging.

Zion Churches met in Chicago and St. Louis, respectively. The A.M.E.'s elected four bishops, viz: Robert A. Grant, of Georgia; Sherman L. Green, president of Shorter College, Little Rock, Ark.; Monroe M. Davis, of Baltimore; and G. B. Young, of Texas. John R. Hawkins was re-elected to the important position of financial agent of the Church after he read the best report made by this department. He delivered the outstanding address of the conference. The rotation of bishops after eighth years was adopted and went into effect at the close of the conference, which transferred many of them, thereby breaking up political machines long established by the various bishops, and eliminating the establishing of formidable machines in the future. The pastors' time limit was made concurrent with the bishops. The laymen of the church gained an important victory for self assertion and the right to be heard in the councils of the Church. The A.M.E. Zion Conference elected two bishops, W. W. Matthews, Missionary Secretary for eight years, who recently sailed for Africa, as the missionary bishop there, and Dr. F. M. Jacobs, of Brooklyn, N.Y. S. M. Dudley was re-elected secretary of Church Extension, with office in Washington, D.C. The Baptists are still separated in two or three conventions, meeting in separate cities at double the expense upon the local churches. The Catholic Church is making headway among Negroes. As this was the year for presidential election, there was much activity politically. Many Negroes embraced and upheld the Democratic standard bearer, notwithstanding Robinson's connection therewith. An outstanding feature of the year was the nomination and race for election of Joseph L. McLemore, colored attorney of St. Louis, Mo., who ran against the veteran L. C. Dyer, in the 12th Congressional district of Missouri. Attorney McLemore received 17,846 votes on the Democratic ticket. A notable event of the year in politics was the election of Oscar DePriest to Congress in the 1st Illinois district, in Chicago, formerly held by the veteran Martin B. Madd c, which is one of the richest districts in the country. Congressman DePriest will be a member of the 71st Congress. There were eight representatives elected to six state legislatures. Two in Missouri, with Walthal M. Moore being elected for the fourth consecutive term, and Attorney G. M. Allen elected for his first term. Ohio sends two to the legislature in the person of Perry B. Jackson, of Cleveland, who possibly received the largest vote and majority of either of the eight men. His vote was 164,000, with a majority of 37,000 over his opponent. Prof. Burton Curry, of Springfield, is the second man in Ohio. Harlem made its contribution to the state legislature by electing Attorney Edward A. Johnson. West Virginia runs true to form and elected T. Edward Hill, editor of the McDowell Times. Following the death of E. Howard Harper, a member of the last legislature in that state, his widow was appointed to fill his vacancy, which gave her the distinction of being the first Negro woman to be a member of the legislature in any of the forty-eight states comprising the Union. Dr. A. M. McMillian occupies the first seat filled by a Negro in the state of Nebraska. Dr. W. M. Blunt, of Kansas City, Kansas, is the first Negro to be elected to the legislature in the Sunflower State. Charles H. Turpin, owner and manager of the Booker Washington Theatre in St. Louis, was elected national elector from the 12th Congressional district of Missouri. Prof. John R. Hawkins served as chairman of the committee in charge of colored workers for the Republicans. This was a departure from the usual rule of a professional politician filling that position. The trial of Perry Howard for graft in connection with his position as National Republican Committeeman from Mississippi, and his acquittal was a feature of national interest of the year. Miscellaneous Governor Small, of Illinois, unveiled the war memorial to the heroic Eighth Illinois Regiment, at the corner of 35th and South Parkway, in November.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles A REVIEW OF 1928 (Continued from page 1) Necrology A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL THE DIPLOMAT FEELS PEEVED 'CAUSE THE CARDS HE RECEIVED WERE A BIT TOO SOPHISTICATED Looking over my Christmas cards, which by the way is all I received to let me know that such a day was at hand. I find that we are becoming entirely too sophisticated to enjoy the Yuletide any more. Years ago we used to send penny postals with Santa Claus with long white whiskers and a pack on his back and a lot of snow all over the place and here and there a gang of holly and mistletoe, but we don't do that any more. We send handsomely engraved cards that look as dead cold, solemn and about as cheerful as a card of thanks we send to the folks who helped at father's funeral. The cards probably cost more per hundred, but the good old feeling isn't there. One card on my desk merely says "With sincere Wishes For Christmas and the New Year." That came from Miss Nannie Burroughs. Her name is printed in Old English type in one corner. In the other corner there is a picture of a house with snow on the roof. The background is gray. Now if Miss Burroughs expects glee from me she is in for a disappointment. In the first place the snow on the roof gives me cold chills because it reminds me that my own roof needs patching. Then the words are too snappy like. It has that quick business like precision like the letters I get from installment house people on which is written. "We would be glad to have you call upon us at your earliest convenience." That sounds like hospitality, but it isn't. Why couldn't Miss Burroughs have sent a card like this, for instance, "I've chewed my pen and scratched my neck and rubbed my nose and still by heck! I've not thought of a thing to say that is more fitting for the day than Merry Christmas." Instead of a house with snow on the roof, she could have a picture of somebody or other rubbing their nose. This would be more appropriate because around this time of year everybody has a cold anyway. Don't think for a moment that Miss Burroughs is the only offender in this quick, snappy, greeting stuff, oh no, her name is legion. Some of them have such things as "Mr. and Mrs. Snoozelezritz extend the season's greetings." It's generally printed on a stiff linen like card and stuck in an envelope of the same color. Most of them don't even go to the trouble of having a house with snow on the roof. With engraved greeting cards we can't even enjoy that little personal touch we used to get when folk used to scrawl their names at the bottom with pen and ink. Remember the kick you used to get after puzzling for an hour over the hieroglyphics you finally announce to the family that this card is from Cousin Bill down in 'Bam. Of course different members of the family hold out that it is from Uncle Josh or Aunt Mary, but whoever it's from you are glad they thought about you and you stick the card away hoping that some of your friends or relatives will turn up and confess they sent it. There is a lot of sentiment to a card like that. It used to be possible to rub the address off the back of the cards that were written in pencil and use them another year. Now unless we send each person's cards back they are only good for one season, this is too much of a waste and ought to be discouraged. It is also getting so people who can't afford to send engraved cards won't send any because they are ashamed to have their cheap cards compared with those of others. This keeps a lot of good honest people from sending a word of honest to goodness cheer. There is, however, no need for embarrassment on this score when we remember that engraved postcards are generally tossed in the waste basket with circulars and advertisements from furniture houses and other impersonal matter. It is the purpose of this column during the following months to conduct a "Back to the Old Fashioned: Christmas Card Drive." We shall demand that publishers put more reinders and Christmas trees on their cards and also pictures of Santa Claus working in his toy shop with a lot of little men with big ears and long whiskers helping him. There must be plenty of red and green on the cards and we don't care where they put it. We suggest verses that have punch. Verses that carry sentiment: Verses that depict the spirit of the times. Verses like this for example: "I've got a rainbow round my shoulders and I'm lying in my bunk, don't try to guess 'cause I'll confess that I'm dead drunk MERRY CHRISTMAS. That would do all right for men but the women could send one like this 'My Hubby Dear is old and on the northeast corner of Eleventh and U streets, northwest, and was at one time president of the Industrial Savings Bank.

The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath. But he must not abuse his privilege when he is commanded to remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, and as far as possible he is to abstain from all servile labor on that day. He is only to do such things as are absolutely necessary to be done on the Sabbath—such as deeds of charity, waiting on the sick, pulling one's out of the mire. But don't shove him in the mire on Saturday in order to pull him out on Sunday. I understand that there are some churches in this city that break the Sabbath every communion Sunday, by cooking and selling in the basement of the church. They claim that this is done for the convenience of the members who spend about three hours in the afternoon in service and in taking the Lord's Supper, which, could be done by proper management in any regular service. Lunch rooms and places of amusement that keep open on Sunday, would say to these churches that break the Sabbath with impunity, in their greed for filthy luce: "Physician, heal myself."

SASSAFRAS UDDS EZ — By Ralph Matthews CHICAGO — Oscar DePriest, Congressman-elect of the 4th District of Illinois, declared his intentions last week to join church here before leaving for Congress. The senator is putting the cart before the horse in making his peace with the Lord, as he is less likely to be popped off suddenly in Washington than he is here in two-gun Chicago. You have to give him credit though for being a politician and not pulling any such blunder before election. His claims of corraling the racketeer vote would have been pretty slim had he gone over on the side of the Psalm singers before the ballots were counted. * * * * * The opposition would have had a fighting chance if they could have put a blot on his character by proving that he was caught red-handed on the street with a hymn book in his hand. * * * * * His enemies used the wrong method to defeat him. They tried to put him in bad with the voters by having him indicted. Even with this he polled a large eote. If they had only succeeded in having him sent to Joliet, his election would have been unanimous. They seemed to forget that in Chicago politics, two or three indictments are more of an asset than a liability. Elections here don't go to the man who has the best record, but to the man who can command the most machine guns. * * * * * Some try to claim that Mr. DePriest was not the man best fitted for this position, but this has been proven false. There is no doubt that he will make good in Congress. After living for so long in the city of stock yards, he ought to be good at throwing the bull. He will have little bother from political job seekers after he gets to Washington, because if the charges in the indictments are true, the only office his supporters would be interested in is that of holder of the cut box at all poker games in the U.S. Treasury. There is much speculation here as to just why Mr. DePriest joined church. Some say that he did so to brush up on his Scriptures so he could cope with the Ku Klux senators from the Bible belt. Others claim that Big Bill Thompson, who recently waged a war to have King George of England stricken from the history books, wants DePriest to introduce a bill kicking the King James Version of the Bible out of the country, and the senator is trying to find out what it is all about. Elaborate plans are being made to have five bands accompany DePriest to Washington when he goes to take his seat. From rumors it is the plan of the committee to have them, as they make their triumphant march up Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol, play "Onward Christian Soldiers." * * * * Senators Smith and Vare were refused admittance as they applied for seats because they were bad little boys at home. Mr. DePriest isn't taking any chances. He knows it would be a blot on the name of Christian America to deny a seat to a congressman who comes in the name of the Lord. Most wives hope their daughters will marry more wisely than their mothers did. day as de did when he purged the temple at Jerusalem, he doubtless would bring his scourge and start in the pulpit, and next around the altar, and then in the pew. And if the commotion and stumped did not encele those wwho were cooking and selling in the basement to an exit he would descend with his scourge and whip them to a frazzle, and say, "Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise." E. W. MAXSON 601 P Street. N.W. KIDDIES' KORNER THE GOOD GIRL By Caroline Howell (12) It was very dark and cold, but of course no one cared, because it was Christmas eve. Everybody was very happy. But as I walked further down the street I saw one little girl all alone selling dolls. She had no shoes on and her clothes were very thin. The happy children made fun of her. I asked the little girl who and where she came from, and she said, "Sir, my name is Odessa and I live in a house further down the street. But yesterday when the snow started I found that I could not live in it any more because there are many cracks in my house, and the snow is banked up in there. "My parents died when I was very small. One of our neighbors has been taking care of me, but she died two weeks ago, so I have been taking care of myself." "Well, little girl, come home with me and I will take care of you." I told her. When we arrived at my house I fed Odessa and put her to bed. The next morning I put her in school. The following year I received a message from her teacher saying that Odessa was doing so very well that she was going to let Odessa help to teach. About two or three years later Odessa was sent away to be a teacher in another city. Odessa came back once every year. When she came every one was so very glad to see her. Her bedroom was full of flowers and other nice gifts. Later when Odessa married I went to live with her and we lived happily ever afterwards.
