WHITES MOVE TO ROUT NEGRO SCHOOL FROM SECTION KISS SUIT LOOMS CAPITAL EDITION 3 OUSTED PROFS SEEK REDRESS 3 OUSTED PROFS SEEK REDRESS Trio Accused of Kissing Coeds to Ask Damages Against Howard U. Legal redress will be sought by Lorenzo Dow Turner, William Henry Jones and Moses Franklin Peters, three of four professors who were dismissed by the board of trustees of Howard University last June on charges of familiarity with girl students. The fourth dismissed professor, Albert Sydney Beckham, is employed in New York City, and it has not been learned whether he will join immediately in the court action that is to be brought against the university and Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, its president. The decision to resort to the courts for satisfaction of their grievances was reached when President Admission and the executive committee of the trustee board refused to re-open the case and give the dismissed professors a hearing. Council for the professors had carried on negotiations in an effort to obtain a hearing for six weeks. May Seek Damages A petition for a writ of mandamus to compel the university to reinstate them will probably be filed in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia this week. Damage suits may also be filed. The university, the trustees and President Johnson will be named as defendants. Kissing Alleged Professors Turner, Jones, Peters and Beckham were dismissed as the result of President Johnson's probing of campus rumors.

Jordan, a student in the college of (Continued on page 2) (Continued on page 2) Eighty-seven years old and still going strong is the record of Columbus Fortune, Civil War veteran of Moxsville, N. C., who admitted that he was about to become a proud papa when interviewed in Union Station preparatory to returning to his home, last week. The aged soldier came to the city, last Wednesday to interview President Coolidge whom he intended to persuade to raise the pension of Civil War veterans. His plans went amiss, however, and instead of finding his way to the White House, he got lost and was picked up by representatives of the Travelers' Aid Society, who furnished him with a night's lodging and a ticket home. "They can't stop me though," declared the old gentleman confidentially, "I stole off and came up here and I am going to see Coolidge if I have to run away again." He is now in the course of his third matrimonial venture having had children by his two previous wives and he admitted still more confidently that there may be a visitation of the stork before he gets back. He was born a slave, fought in the Civil War and has since devoted his time to raising cotton and tobacco. His white beard and antiquated garb made him a center of attraction in the rotunda, looking for all the world like a character that had been suddenly plucked out of the picturesque surroundings of a Dixie plantation, as was quite the case. He attributed his old age to tobacco which he has used in all its forms since he was three. He hasn't taken a drink since he stopped making his own liquid, he jealored, because he is afraid of the poison farm. Washington Tribune LOVEJOY IS CENTER OF FIGHT Oldest Negro School Object of Neighborhood Prejudice in N. E. By J. A. G. LuValle As an aftermath of the school board asking for an appropriation to erect an eight-room addition, with assembly, to the Lovejoy School at Twelfth and D streets, northeast; a bitter protest was placed by the white citizens of that section before the subcommittee on appropriations in the house, to the extent that not only was the addition protested but a request made that the whole Lovejoy School be relocated or transferred to some other site. This protest is a sample of what may be expected from other sections of the city as new schools are proposed and new buildings ask for sites already obtained. Established 60 Years Ago There is a deal of sentiment attached to the Lovejoy School. On the present site of this school was opened one of the earliest schools in the District of Columbia, for Negro education. In a frame building, more than sixty years ago, a school for colored children was started and has developed into the present Lovejoy School. Now, racial prejudice would deprive the Negro of one of his most cherished school sites in the District. This protest started from an economic cause growing out of the fact that if the addition and as- (Continued on page 2) PACKS REVOLVER ON HIP; GETS 180 DAYS Fred Wright, who, police say, introduced the "wild and woolly" method of dealing cards with a revolver on his hip was Thursday sentenced to 180 days in jail by Police Court Judge Ralph Given for carrying a deadly weapon. The man was arrested in a house in the 2000 block of Fourteenth street by police of the second precinct who had escaped to capture two men wanted for hold-up and robbery in North Carolina. To their surprise, the police said, they found a gambling game in progress and Wright dealing the cards with a revolver in plain view. Wright pleaded guilty to the charge. OPERATED TRUCK 14 YRS. WITHOUT A LICENSE John Davis, who told police he had been working for the District government 14 years and driving a truck "off and on" during that time, pleaded guilty to operating without a permit and reckless driving before Judge Isaac R. Hitt in Traffic Court. He was assessed fines totaling $50. Traffic Bureau records disclosed Davis never had a permit. The man told the court he had tried to get one but failed to pass the examination. He was arrested following a collision with a taxicab at Connecticut avenue and Calvert street, Saturday afternoon. A. ATTORNEY L. MELENDEZ KING, Dean and founder of the John M Langston School of Law, will upon request of a number of citizens, deliver two lectures each week in Washington, on "Real Estate Law and its application to property owners and purchasers". Mr. King has been professor of Real Property for fifteen years. He refuses to accept pay for his lectures and same will be free. DEATHBED BRIDE GETS PROPERTY Mrs. Maude Williamson Winner in Litigation Over Dead Mate's Friends Justice Jennings Bailey in Equity Court No. 1. Tuesday, decided that Reginald Adams and Miss Mary Bell West are not entitled to share in the estate of the late I. E. Williamson. Under the terms of his will all his property will go to his widow, Mrs. Maude E. Williamson, who married Mr. Williamson on his death bed. Justice Bailey held that an agreement executed May 16, 1927, gave Mr. Adams and Miss West no right to share in the estate unless it had been shown that they had contributed to the monthly payments on property Mr. Williamson owned at the time of his death. The testimony failed to show that they had made any such contributions. Mr. Adams and Miss West had lived with Mr. Williamson between ten and twenty years. Mr. Williamson married May 27, 1927. He made a will June 2, 1927, leaving his property, No. 815 T street, and No. 273 N street, northwest, to his wife. He died June 7, 1927. Attorneys George A. Parker and Hayes & Davis represented Mrs. Williamson. WHITE COP CONVICTED IN SHOOTING OF NEGRO NEW YORK — Eugene Higgins, white, formerly patrolman of the Bronx Park Station, pleaded guilty in General Sessions last Wednesday to manslaughter in the first degree for the shooting of William Bowers, a porter, in a speakeasy at 152 East 121st on October 12. Judge Levine remanded him to the Tombs without bail for sentence on January 22. Higgins, who was alleged to be a part owner of the speakeasy, was indicted for first degree murder, but assistant District Attorney O'Brien recommended that the court accept the lesser plea. Investigation showed that the policeman was intoxicated when he shot Bowers. SAYS PREACHER HUBBY SOLD CORN Mrs. Pauline Burke, 221 C street, southeast, was awarded $15 a week alimony from her husband, Nelson S. Burke, 3219 Eleventh street, northwest, whom she is suing for a limited divorce. Justice Jennings Bailey ordered the payments to begin three weeks back from last Friday. Burke, through his counsel, advised the court that his wife had dissuaded him from following his chosen profession, the ministry. Counsel for Mrs. Burke countered that his client had no objections to his following the ministry, but that she did not think he ought to preach on Sunday and sell whiskey during the week. Attorney John H. Wilson, representing Mrs. Burke, produced a certified copy of a conviction of Burke in police court, January 28, 1924, on charges of sale and possession of whiskey. SEGREGATION FIGHT AGAIN IS IN COURT Covenants Binding Property Owners Not to Sell to Colored Branded As The validity of covenants binding property owners no to permit their property to be sold to or occupied by colored persons was again attacked in the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia last Monday and Tuesday. The chief bases upon which this attack rests are that such covenants are in restraint of alienation and also in restraint of trade and against the public policy of the United States. New Angle In its former decisions, the court was told, these questions were not presented and consequently had not been passed upon in the cases in which the court had upheld to colored persons or its occupancy by them. The Court of Appeals heard arguments in two cases, which were combined. Louis Marshall, noted constitutional lawyer of New York City, made the argument for the appellees, who are seeking to reverse the decision of the District Supreme Court. He was followed by Frank F. Nesbit, representing the white property owners who are seeking to enforce the covenant. Lucien Mercier closed for the white property owners. Sale Forbidden Both cases were appealed from the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. In one of the cases Justice Jennings E. Bailey granted an injunction restraining Edward G. Russell and his wife, Mrs. Susie E. Russell, white, from selling No. 77 Randolph place, northwest, to Edgar T. Newton, Robert H. Peterson and Mrs. Sarah P. Newton. A deed executed by the Russells to the Newtons and Peterson was declared a nullity. Mr. and Mrs. Newton and Mr. Peterson who had moved into the property were ordered to vacate the premises. In the other case Justice Wendell P. Stafford declared void a deed from Thomas A. Grier to Henry A. and Mrs. Alyce N. Cornish conveying No. 2328 First street, northwest. He ordered Mr. and Mrs. Cornish to vacate the premises and perpetually enjoined GETS 10 YEARS FOR AX ASSAULT ON WIFE Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy imposed a sence of 10 years in the penitentiary on James Henson last Saturday for assault with a dangerous weapon. He beat his wife over the head with an anxe while she slept last August and then attempted to choke her. He pleaded guilty. Chief Justice McCoy told Henson that he got all the leniency to which he was entitled when he was allowed to plead guilty to the charge of assault with a dangerous weapon instead of assault with intent to kill, as he was originally indicted.

STORY ON PAGE 2 BOWLER HOME UNDER HAMMER Property Involved in Litigation Since Suicide Finally Sold The Bowler property at No. 1817 Tenth street, northwest, which has been involved in litigation ever since the suicide of Robert J. Bowler, promising young lawyer, in June, 1927, was sold at public auction, Tuesday afternoon. The purchaser was Henry Salus of the real estate firm of Zager and Salus, 920 New York avenue, northwest. His bid of $7,500 for the property was accepted. The property was sold by the holders of a first trust. Suits are pending in the District Supreme Court attacking the validity of the first trust and also a third trust. Previous suits filed by the two sisters and brother of Robert J. Bowler, Mrs. Nellie B. Chatman, Miss Mamie L. Bowler, and Thomas C. Bowler, Jr., claiming that these deeds of trust were forgeries were dismissed. New suits were then filed against the holders of these deeds of trust. When the property was advertised two years ago for sale at public auction, an injunction was obtained to prevent the sale, but this time no steps were taken to prevent the sale. CONVICTED OF MURDER IN SECOND DEGREE A jury in criminal court No. 1 last Thursday found Clarence Patterson guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of Henry Root at No. 35 Fenton place, northwest, September 14. The two men quarelled over a dollar in a whisky transaction. Patterson fatally stabbed Root. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy remanded Patterson to jail to await sentencing.

George, who classes himself the world's greatest palmist and crystal gazer, failed to serve him in good stead and as a result he is serving a term of six months for practicing medicine without a license. Professor George, who is widely known through the publication of his "Book of Fate" residues at 56 I street, northeast, and was arrested by headquarter's detective N. A. Sanders when gullible and illiterate patients complained that they received little relief for their ailments after paying the professor as high as $100. A crystal ball and other paraphernalia supposed to be used in producing charms, lifting spells, and bringing good luck were taken when the sanctum sanctorum of the man of mystery was raided. On the stand in the U.S. branch of the police court witnessed testified that they paid the "professor" $40 for a series of treatments that entitled them to 40 bottles of medicine at regular intervals but if they were cured in less treatments the balance of the money went to the professor. Could Not See Own Future George George, who says he is only 23 years of age, is a picture-creature figure in his flowing robes of silk. On his head he wears a turban of sofa pillow dimensions profusely decorated with multi-colored beads and enhanced with an ostrich feather. The power of reading he future of others is his mystic crystal ball seemed to vanish suddenly and he was not able to forsee his own fate and impending incarceration when the officers called. Mrs. Geneva McDonald also complained to police that she had lost $49.50 to an unknown white woman who pretended to possess supernatural powers in curing ailments, police are investigating. LOCAL MAN GETS LIBERIAN POST William C. George, of 1319 Q street, northwest, has just received notice of his appointment as clerk, in the office of the American Legation, under Honorable W. T. Francis, U. S. Minister to the Republic of Liberia. Almost practically ever since his graduation from Dunbar High School and during ghis course of study at Howard University, Mr. George has been an employee in the office of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University. During the late campaign for Mr. Hoover's election, Mr. George was confidential stenographer in the office of Dr. John R. Hawkins, director of the Colored Voters' Division. Mr. George will receive a salary of $2,000 per annum and transportation to and from Liberia. PRICE 5c A A contributor complains that the pictures of young women should not be published on the front pages of newspapers, but surely the likeness of Miss Hortense Freeland, a talented instructor at the Mott School, would add charm and enhance the value of new newspapers. She possesses both musical and artistic proclivities and is popular socially. Baseball League Formed PHILADELPHIA — Six leading baseball clubs of the East finally came to terms and formed the American Negro League which will be comprised of Hilldale, Baltimore Sox, Lincoln Giants, Cuban Stars, Bacharachs, and Homestead Grays, of Pittsburgh. Edward Bolden, of Philadelphia, was elected president by a unanimous vote. James J. Keenan, of New York, was elected vice-president; W.

Lankford in the sum of $475 for architectural services in connection with his bid for the architectural work of a new church to be built by the First Colored Baptist Church in southwest Washington. Mr. Lankford claimed that he would have been awarded the contract for the architectural work but for his refusal to share his commission with the pastor, the Rev. James H. Marshall. Attorneys Houston & Houston represented Mr. Lankford. Wife of Rev. Willbanks Laid to Rest Here Funeral services for Mrs. Lottie Willbanks, wife of the Rev. Alexander Willbanks, pastor of the Tenth Street Baptist Church, were held Tuesday afternoon from the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church. Burial was in the Lincoln Cemetery.

They were John Wylie Carter, John Dykes, Israel Lindsay, Ruth McColough, Theresa Green, William Tucker, Merritt Wilson and Wilford Reed. There are two indictments against Dykes. Lindsay and the McColough woman are not indicted. Wilson and Reed are also indicted together. Attorneys J. A. O'Shea and J. H. Burnett represent Carter, the Green woman, Merritt Wilson and Wilford Reed. Attorney Armond W. Scott represents Dykes, Lindsay and the McColough woman. Attorney Harry T. Whalen represents Tucker. When these cases are brought to trial, the defense will be that the "numbers" game is no violation of the law against lottery in the District of Columbia. The "numbers" gamee is based upon the daily statement of the New York Clearing House, the "number" being a combination of figures from the amount of exchange and the balance. LOOTED PARKED AUTO; WILL PARK 10 YEARS Robert Wells, 22 years old, who was convicted of looting a parked automobile, was given a sentence of 10 years. Wells refused to assist police in recovering the goods. The cases contained articles of children's and women's wearing apparel.

Part Time Sessions There are 967 students enrolled in the Lovejoy School and many are on half-time shifts. This is the only colored school in an im- menise section which extends from beyond Florida avenue on the north to Pennsylvania avenue on the south; from 15th street on the east to 4th street on the west. In this same area are 11 white schools to the lone one Lovejoy. While in this particular triangle where Lovejoy is located there are four white schools, none of these white schools are crowded to the ex- tent that they need Lovejoy as an additional building, Hence the protest is not on the basis of actual need; while the demand for the ‘addition is an actual one. ‘This sub-committee will make its report next week. In the mean- time, the Parent and Teachers’ As- sociation of Lovejoy, with Mr. Baddy as president, has circulated @ petition asking for the addition ‘which acts as a fight against the protest. Dr. Richardson, president of the Northeast Civic Association is on the job and the outlook is favorable for the allowance of the appropriation for, the eight rooms and assembly hall.

MILLER SAYS Dr, Kelly Miller, St, chairman of the Cominittee on Colored Co-or- dination of the Community Chest, and C. C. Johnson, secretary, elec- trified the Commuity Chest Board of Trustees last Friday when they announced that “the colored peo- ple would be found doing much more than is now expected for the Community Chest.” "The occasion was the meeting to adopt the budget for this year’s chest, which took place at the United States Chamber of Com- merce building. Charles J. Bell, chairman of the budget commit- tee, announced that the sum fixed for the 57 member agencies, em- bracing all races and creeds is $1,343,348.93 for 1929, This bud- Bet was approved by & unanimous vote of all present, and Dr. Miller ‘and Mr. Johnson were among the many which spoke in its: favor. “We are interested in Washing- ton, the capital city,” Dr. Miller stated, “and while it is true that members of our race will benefit largely from the Chest, due to cir- cumstances, it is also true that the colored citizens of Washing- ton are aroused over the chest idea as they have not been over a civie enterprise in many years, and they will be found doing much more than is now expected for the Community Chest.” Plans for the campaign are rap- idly rounding into form. The spe- cial gifts unit, of which Robert V. Fleming, president of the Riggs National Bank, is chairman, is al- ready at work on the larger dona- tions, and group leaders through- out the city are marshalling their forces for the opening of the reg- ular campaign on January 28. President Delano has stated that unprecedented giving must mark the campaign if it is to be suecess- ful, and the workers are preparing for the task with the idea of mak- ing his words come true.” MORE SEGREGATION (Continued from page +) them from holding title to or pos- session of the property. Segregation Invalid In his argument Mr. Marshall directed and attention of the Court of Appeals to the questiotis of these covenants placing .a’ restraint on alienation and being in restraint of trade. Since the decisions of the Court of Appeals, upholding. such cayehants, Mr, Marshall noted, there had been decisions in other Jurinctions holding residential 2 regation covenants invalid. fe: Matshall Menai partic: ularly that stich covenants were contrary to the public policy of the United States, citing decisions of the Supreme Court of the United, Federal statutes and decisions of various courts: throughout the United States. Can Affect All Groups ‘The Supreme Court of the United States had definitely decided, Mr. Marshall declared, that no legisla- ture might by its enactment do the thing that is being attempted by these covenants. He reasoned from that point that individuals would not be allowed to do what the leg- islatures themselves were unable to accomplish and seek the, en- forcement of any such proposition in courts of equity. Referring to the Negro as the group against which these cove- nants were now directed, Mr. Mar- shall pointed out that if' the policy were established similar cove- nants might be made against Jews ‘or Catholics, or any group of per- ‘sons, making the acquisition of Property a sort of impossible pate work and resulting in a veritable ghetto system. Covenants Not Binding Jo V. Morgan of the firm of Douglas, Obear & Douglas, repre- senting a white property owner who had attempted to sell to col- ‘ored persons, argued certain tech- nicalities distinguishing these cases from other eases which had been desided by the Court of Appeals He also contended that the alleged jcovenants had never been properly signed, acknowledged or executed in such ways as to become binding. In defending the covenants, Mr. Nesbit took the position that the questions raised ‘in these cases had heen passed upon by the Court of Appeals. There are no distinguish- ing features between these cases and cases already decided by he Court of Appeals, he declared, and no teason had been shown why the court should depart from its for- mer decisions. NAACP. in Figt On the briefs for the appellees were Attorneys William E, Tey, George E. C. Hayes, Ernest J. Da- vis and Edmund M. Toland. Mr. Marshall and Arthur B Spingarn, both representing the National As- sociation for the Advancement of Colored People, were of counsel. Mr. Leahy and the firm of Hayes & Davis tried the cases in the District Supreme Court and raised the questions regarding these cove- nants being in restraint of aliena- tion and restraint. of trade and against the public policy of the ‘United States.

CLAUSE AGAINST DISFRANCHISEMENT RULED OUT Attempt to Reduce Southern Representation in Reapportionment Fails Before the House passed the Penn reapportionment bill last Friday, an amendment offered by Representative George H. Inkham, Republican, of Massachusetts, having for its object the reduction of southern representation because of disfranchisement, was ruled out of order by Representative Carl R. Chindblom, Republican, of Illinois, who was presiding. Mr. Chindblom held that the amendment was not germane and sustained the point of order raised by Representative E. Hart Fenn, Republican, of Connecticut, the author of the bill. Attacks Disfranchisement The Tinkham amendment had for its purpose the enforcement of the provision of the fourteenth amendment of the Constitution authorizing a reduction in representation where there is disfranchisement. Unconstitutional In supporting his amendment Mr. Tinkham pointed out that the Constitution provides that the basis of representation shall be reduced in each State in proportion to the number of inhabitants who are disfranchised. "How is it possible to comply with the Constitution unless this is done?" he asked. "If this is not done," he declared, "not only is the House of Representatives not constitutionally organized but representation among the States is not equal." Do Not Violate Constitution Do Not Violate Constitution Representative John E. Rankin, Democrat, of Mississippi, supported the point of order that the amendment was not germane. He argued that "the Congress of the United States has no power to disturb Southern representation because of the fact that Negroes do not vote." He cited a statement of Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, that the constitutions and statutes of the southern States do not violate ```markdown ``` Spray Solutions For Nose and Throat Parke-Davis Chlorestone, Inhalent, medium .....50c Ercolin .....$1.50 Improved Dobell's Solution, pint .....25c $1.00 Pineoleum Liquid.....69c $0e Nozol, for head colds.....50c $1.00 Vapex .....95c $1.00 Pineoleum Outfit.....69c $0e Musolent .....37c $1.25 Glycothymolins.....81c Prevent Flu Germs From Getting a Stark PEO BUGG PEOPLES DRUG STORE *All Over Town* JANUARY FURNITURE SALE DISCOUNT 10 PER CENT TO 40 PER CENT ALL PRICES MARKED IN PLAIN FIGURES NO NOTES NO EXTRAS EASY TERMS Peter Grogan & Sons Co. GROGAN'S 817-823 Seventh St.N.W. By Louis R. Lautier Unconstitutional either the fourteenth or Fifteenth amendments of the Constitution. New Element In his ruling Mr. Chindblom followed a precedent established in 1921 when a similar amendment to a reapportionment bill was offered by Mr. Tinkham. Representative Chindblom held that the amendment "introduces a new element, a new standard, a new basis for the apportionment other than population, other than the enumeration provided by existing law, and requires an inquiry, an investigation, and a conclusion, not ministerial or administrative, but judicial and discretionary, as to whether the voting rights of citizens have been abridged not only generally through legislation and general practices but within restricted groups of citizens who have not participated in rebellion or other crime." The Fenn bill passed the House after two days of stormy debate without a record vote. Opponents of the measure were beaten when their motion to recommit the bill to the census committee was defeated by a vote of 134 ayes to 226 nays. Effective After 1930 The Fenn bill does not provide for immediate reapportionment, but sets up machinery for that purpose after each census in the event that the House itself fails to act. It would first take effect after the 1930 census and would be responsible for a rearrangement of the House membership in the Seventy-third and succeeding Congresses. The membership of the House must not exceed at any time 435 under the new bill. States expected to lose representation when the reapportionment made are: Alabama, 1; Indiana, 2; Iowa, 2; Kansas, 1; Kentucky, 2; Louisiana, 1; Maine, 1; Massachusetts, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 3; Nebraska, 1; New York, 1; North Dakota, 1; Pennsylvania, 1; Tennessee, 1; Vermont, 1, and Virginia, 1. States expected to gain by the law are: Arizona, 1; California, 6; Connecticut, 1; Florida, 1; Michigan, 4; New Jersey, 2; North Carolina, 1; Ohio, 3; Oklahoma, 1; Texas, 2, and Washington, 1.

A Size and Shape for Every Member of the Family "HEALTH SAVERS" at New Element Lanier, Byrd Stowaway Still in Limelight By Mrs. Gertrude C. Hopkins NEW YORK (Special to the Tribune) - Harlem is "not far" removed in miles or sentiment from Jersey. Jerseyites are not removed at al from Harlem. (Of course I refer to colored Jerseyites.) What Harlemites and Jerseyites do is of mutual interest, they are boon northerners that scorn the rest of the world, regardless of the fact that a great percentage of Harlemites are not native Harlemites at all. Word has come from California that Robert White Lanier, the 20-year-old Jersey City youth, has sailed from San Francisco in an attempt to join Commander Byrd's expedition to the South Pole. Found on Board Lanier first came into national notice when he was found as a stowaway on the City of New York, Byrd's headquarter's ship. He was discovered on the ship at Cristobal in the Canal Zone, and was sent back to New York. The latest report is that Lanier hiked and begged rides from Jersey City to San Francisco. Reaching there it is said that he sailed as messboy on a freighter bound for Australia. Upon reaching there he intends to try to ship on one of Byrd's ships. The youth desires to be the first Negro to reach the South Pole, and New Jersey and all of Harlem are glorying in his spunk and determination. Lanier's Statement The New York World quotes Lanier as saying: "When I was kicked off the City of New York it was not because I was a stowaway, but because en route to the Canal Zone someone wirelessed Commander Byrd that my character was not all that it should be. I already had been signed on by Byrd as messyboy, but that radio wrecked my chances then. Before I started out on the long walk to San Francisco, I went back to Jersey City and there obtained letters that proved my character is all that it should be. "I am confident, if I can ever reach Byrd, that he will let me go on with him, for he has never signed me off as messyboy and my credentials will satisfy him that the wireless charge against me was false."

I could not tell how much I suffered, but was tired and nervous all the time. I complained a good deal, for I just couldn't help it. "My husband advised me to try Cardul, which I did. I took two bottles at this time, and soon I was well and strong. I seemed to be much better after taking it and my back quit hurting. "Once since, when I felt I needed a tonic, I took two bottles of Cardul. Again I felt much stronger. I am in splendid health now, and I recommend Cardul to my friends." For sale by all druggists.

Wheatland, assistant professor of romance languages, delivered an address in French to the language teachers of the District of Columbia, Monday, January 14, at Dunbar High school. The subject of Miss Wheatland's address was "French possessions in northern Africa." The speaker has twice visited Algiers, Tunis and the Sahara Desert, having spent the year 1924-1925 in Europe studying for the most of the time at the University of Paris. Last Spring, Miss Wheatland had leave of absence to make a three months' tour of Europe in company with her father, Dr. M. F. Wheatland, a physician of Newport, R. I., and trustee of Howard University. Miss Weatland is a graduate of Wellesley College of the class of 1923, and sister of Dr. Marcus Wheatland, popular Lincoln-Howard athlete, who is now practising medicine in Camden, N. J. TUTTLE LAUDS RACE PROGRESS IN SPEECH NEW YORK — No race has contributed more to the progress of this city than the Negro, United States Attorney Tuttle declared Sunday in an address praising the part played in the Vestris disaster by colored seamen and firemen. Mr. Tuttle spoke at the annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in the Mount Olivet Baptist Church. "The sinking of the Vestris proved that there is no distinction of color in the fraternity of valor," he said. "The story of Lionel Lierish is a story of the hero of the sea. His colored fellows on that ill-fated ship were equally brave and we cannot protest too strongly against the unjustified attempt to foist responsibility for the disaster on them."

NO, a thousand times NO. It is not necessary to call the reader's attention to any other locality than right here at home, the District of Columbia; we'll clean the skeletons out of our own closets first. The great question is—"DOES THE NEGRO KNOW WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS? Jesus has taught us by precepts and example Christianity is summed up in one word—s v o r i c e. This word service does not mean 11 a.m. and 8 p.m. on Sundays but LABOR IN THE VINEYARD. Labor in the vineyard does not mean paying salaries to pastor, sexton and organist, paying heat and light and interest on mortgage now and then nor the lottery forms of entertainments such as the so-called million-dollar weddings, buying AUTOMOBILES for the preachers, building magnificent edifices, but LABOR as laid down in the Holy Writ. Our Lord stayed on this earth for 33 years, worked as a carpenter, and preached without salary—went about doing good and we failed to find that he demanded beautiful temples for worship; but to the contrary we fail to find him travelling other than on foot or an ass, today our ministers, who are looked upon as the ambassadors of Jesus must have high powered automobiles, mostly as a DONATION from the parishioners. We fail to find Him sanctioning "million-dollar weddings," etc.; but on the other hand we find Him directing that the money changers be driven from around the temple. Now let's come home. Of over 150 protestant churches in the District of Columbia we can count on our fingers the total number even partially rendering SERVICE. There are four homes for the aged, one by a group of Baptists, one by an individual Baptist church, one by an individual A.M.E. Zion church, and one by the Episcopal churches. There are no orphanages, no Day Nurseries, no place where the working mothers of our churches can send their children after school to remain under Christian supervision until they shall have come, no church hospitals, no home for the cripples, no home for desi- tive girls and women, no social workers at the juvenile and police courts, and how we turn up our noses at charity, even the Christmas opportunities. It is well said, "we are all born but not buried." None of us know today what will come to our door tomorrow. (Continued next week) ASBURY M. E. CHURCH Rev. J. Henry Jenkins, A.B., D.D.

MINISTERS TO MEET HERE IN SPRING The next session of the National Interdimensional Ministerial Alliance of America will be held in this city the early part of the spring. Dr. Charles L. Russell, the president, is confident that this session of the alliance will surpass, in attendance, any of the previous sessions of the alliance; due to his recent visit in the South and the West addressing local groups in the interest of the National Ministerial Alliance. Dr. Russell had planned to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, January 1, under the auspices of the National Ministerial Alliance, as was done last year; but due to the amount of work that he has to do in making preparation for the annual meeting of the alliance, he discontinued his plan B.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 18. 1929 HAITIAN WRITER BLAMES U.S. FOR ISLAND EXODUS President Borno Just a Marionette Joseph Mirault Declares Joseph Mirault, American correspondent for the "Courrier Haitian," an organ of national defense in Haiti, in a letter to the Washington Tribune this week takes issue with an article published in a current issue of the New York Age which attempted to justify the occupation of the island by the U. S. Marines. Mr. Mirault Says in Part "I am writing to say that the American public has become so well acquainted with the Haitian question that I think I could abstain from correcting a few points in Mr. Davis' article as published in the 'New York Age' of the 12th inst. I have decided to do so, however, for merely a question of principle. "Referring to the killing of President Guillaume Sam, I will say that in July, 1915, a revolution occurred against him. His conduct, cruel and inhuman, infuriated the people to such an extent that he was taken from the French legation where he had taken refuge and killed by the populace. But neither public nor private property was molested or destroyed, no foreigner placed in jeopardy. When the marines landed in Port-au-Prince, quiet had long been restored. Why Mr. Davis omitted to relate that in his article is a puzzle to me. Though no sane person would approve of the populace taking the law into their own hands, yet I cannot see why Mr. Davis should make it as justifying the occupation of the island when just across the Rio Grande it is a daily occurrence. Right here in this country, defenseless Negroes are lynched without much attention being paid to it. Own Only One Third Regarding land owned by American corporations, I will take it for granted that they own only 40,000 acres as stated by Mr. Davis. Taking into consideration the fact that the Haitians possess only one third of the island, whose area is less than 10,000 square miles, I think that every fair minded person will agree that 40,000 acres is a lot. Jammed Down Their Throats Now, as for the famous treaty which literally was jammed down the throat of the people, it is a one-sided question, and as long as the American government wants it to be in existence, so will it be, regardless of what the Haitian think about it. Senator Barred Senator William H. King, the gr. eat philanthropist who seems to have formed a vow to champion the cause of weak and defenseless people, regardless of creed, race or nationality, has been refused the hospitality of the island because they know that on his return here, the American people would have learnt something about the so-called progress made by the Haitians under American supervision. Borno Marionette Some people are jilined to blame Mr. Borno for that unqualified act, but the poor fellow is not responsible, being nothing but a marionette, whose strings are pulled by High Commissioner Russell, who receives orders direct from Washington. Exodus As Mr. Davis so well stated, the erodus of the Haitians has been due to lack of employment; but never in the history of the country have they migrated in so great numbers as in the last thirteen fears. It took to American occupation to bring about this state of affairs. Miss Nannie Burroughs at John Wesley, Sunday Afternoon The pastor, Rev Henry D. Tillman, D.D., will preach at both services, 10:45 a.m., and 7:45 p.m., at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Fourteenth and Corcoran streets, N.W., Sunday. The Holy Communion will be administered at the morning worship. The church school of which Professor Victor J. Tulane is superintendent, will present a special "Poung People's Service," at 3:30 p.m., when Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Girls, will address the young people of Washington and vicinity on the subject, "Young People and Religious Education." The program will be augmented by instrumental soles, and by musical selections rendered by the National Training School Girls' Chorus. ISRAEL BAPTIST CHURCH 11th St. bet. F & G Sts., N.E Rev. A. B.

HAD RILLIAN YEAR REPORT SHOWS 2,563 Enrolled During '28 No Deficit for First Time in Recent Years The total enrollment of students at Howard University during the year just closed was 2.563 representing 36 states and 14 foreign countries according to a statement just issued by the Department of the Interior. The report further states that there were 373 students enrolled in the school of medicine this year; college of medicine, 233; college of dentistry, 78; college of pharmacy, 60. Of the 233 medical students, 165 held college degrees, one had a master's degree and 24 were combination students who finished three years of college work. The 52 graduates in the college of medicine this year represent more than six times as many as all colored graduates in medicine from northern institutions and approximately fifty per cent of all the colored graduates in medicine throughout the whole country. 91 in School of Law There were 91 registrants this year in the school of law. These students came from 27 states, District of Columbia and Africa. The trustees have voted to begin next year the first year class of a three-year full-time day school, in order to meet the requirements of the American Association of Law Schools. A gift of $20,000 from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial provides $15,000 for bringing the library facilities up to and above the minimum requirements of the American Association of Law Schools and $1,000 a year for five years to supplement a like sum by the university for the maintenance of the library. No Deficit for eYar Howard University was incorporated in 1867, but no appropriation was made for its support by Congress until March 3, 1879, when the sum of $10,000 was appropriated for "maintenance." Since that time Congress has made annual appropriations for the institution, expendable under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, who is Patron Ex-Officio of the Board of Trustees. The report of the Secretary-Treasurer covers receipts from all sources including the Federal appropriations, tuition and other fees, endowments and other investments, rents, donations, etc. The total income for 1928 from all sources was $787,013.56, and the expenditures were $783,847.77. For the second time in several years there is no current deficit. On the contrary, economical administration has secured a sum of $3,165.79 to be applied toward retiring the accumulated deficit. GUILD IN $1,000 DRIVE The Holy Name Guild, 1727 Thirteenth street, northwest, a community center for Holy Name men and boys, wish to thank its many friends for their assistance in aiding the Guild in the past years and ask for their support in the future.

Their effort this year is to raise a budget of $1,000, and start a drive to enlist every Holy Name man and boy of the seven colored Catholic parishes. The Guild is open every evening from 7 to 12, and on Sundays after 1 p.m. The Guild welcome their non Catholic friends to visit the Guild at any time, and any time they can be of service to them the Guild will gladly serve them.

George Irving, executive secretary of the Committee on Evangelism of the Young Men's Christian Association. Mr. Irving counselled his hearers, in his address, to make duty and sacrifice greater realities in their lives, and to give a smaller place to excuse. His remarks were illustrated by incidents taken especially from the War. Music for the services consisted of an anthem, "Fear Not, O Israel," of Max Spicker; a solo, "My Redeemer and My Lord," of Dudley Buck, by Mrs. Elsie Austin Breeding; and a solo, "Give Way Jordan" by Lester Dorsey.

C. — Resolutions of respect and condolence were passed by the faculty and students of the North Carolina College for Negroes on the death of B. N. Duke, who was one of the early patrons of this Negro college. Evidence of his friendship for the college is seen by the fact that in the last two years he has made donations to the institution totalling $100,000. Deep sorrow was expressed by Dr. James E. Shepard, president, at special chapel exercises held in tribute to Mr. Duke. He made brief remarks touching upon the simplicity of the life of Mr. Duke, his interest in all good causes, and in the general interest of the colored people of Durham. O-DATE MENT ines & Co. ICIANS TE FUNERAL NEGRO HISTORY WEEK, FEB. 18 NEGRO HISTORY WEEK, FEB. 18 Dr. Carter Woodson Outlines Pians and Objects of Movement Plans are taking shape for the annual observance of Negro History Week which will take place throughout the country during the third week in February, according to announcement made by Dr. Carter Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History who is fostering the celebration. Dr. Woodson says: "The thought behind the observance has grown upon people from year to year. The mere speech-making or eulogistic effort has tended to give pages to various plans and projects for prosecuting more successfully the various aspects of Negro life and history. Libraries have been induced to purchase large numbers of books bearing on the Negro, literary societies have made the discussion of this neglected history a part of their annual programs, and schools have established courses teaching with almost every phase of history as it has been influenced by the Negro in the ancient and modern world. The Home Study Department of the Association has been especially helpful to persons and groups of citizens who have voluntarily provided for such a study in places where the schools have not taken action. "The aim of the association is to interest every agency known to be working for the uplift of the Negro. In fact, no person or institution concerned with the welfare of this race can fail to co-operate in promoting this long neglected work. Nothing can be more of a stimulus to the race than to enable it to get inspiration from its past record. At the same time the effort convinces the enemies of this despised group that history A beautiful funeral need not be a burden to those who must assume its responsibility.

NEW YORK—Dr. Alain Leroy Locke, professor of philosophy, Howard University, and James A. Jackson, of the department of Domestic Relations of the Department of Commerce, were to speak over Station WABC, in New York City last Friday night, in the fifthtier week of the Negro Hour program from that station. Dr. Locke went to New York, but through some misunderstanding regarding time to appear, failed to reach the microphone. Mr. Jackson made his appearance as scheduled and spoke on "Progress of Negro Business." "The buying power of the Negro," he said, "so long considered as negligible, is more highly regarded now than it ever before has been. The colored people, themselves, are just awakening to their own importance as a market for goods, and to the opportunity of obtaining some of the retail business involved in providing food, shelter, raiment and the pleasures of life to their families. "Today nearly a hundred thousand Negro owned business establishments are buying and selling commodities, and a goodly percentage of them are competing in the general markets. The past decade has seen an increase of Negro interest in business that seems almost beyond belief to one who may not have given close atten- "As close to you as the nearest telephone." 2222 Georgia Avenue, N.W.

SIX DIAMOND COURT On the Local Courts with Sam Lacy On the Local Courts with Sam Lacy RITZ CLUB TAKE STINGING DEFEAT Handicapped by the absence of their defensive mainstay, Doug Henry, the Ritz Klub basketball team, mighty hosts of the west, invaded the Nation's capital, last Tuesday night, and were turned back decisively, by the local Community Yellowjackets. Finding the young Orange and Black team's defense practically impenetrable, the Pittsburghers were forced to accept a 34-16 lacing, the worst defeat they have suffered in the past three years. Cheered by nearly 600 court enthusiasts, the Yellowjackets, without the services of Slim Thomas, stellar six-foot pivotman, put over an exhibition of court play which proved a revelation to their local following. Jumping into the lead at the outset, the Community lads meant not to be denied in this ambition—victory over one of the country's class A combinations. Working around the versatile Soup Turner, whom they used as the pivot in their offensive, the Yellowjackets presented a fast passing game which completely baffled their highly touted opponents. Turner repeatedly took the ball, dribbed through several opponents and fed it to either of his two forward mates, Givens or Lacy, for points. In this manner the locals established a lead which, aided by the stellar guarding of Zig Johnson and Tommie Jackson, was never overcome by the visitors. For some unexplainable reason, the Pittsburgh quint could not find itself. Henry, former star Dunbar High School courtman, and upon whom the Ritz aggregation depends for balance and steadying, was unable to accompany his teammates owing to an attack of the flu. Gus Neville, sensational young forward, showed lack of confidence in working with Pappy Williams, former Loendi performer. Despite this handicap, however, Neville was high point scorer for his team. From start to finish the contest was a rough-and-tumble affair. Both teams appeared willing to give and take in a game which bordered more along the western type of play than the open eastern style.

Handicapped by the absence of their defensive mainstay, Doug Henry, the Ritz Klub basketball team, mighty hosts of the west, invaded the Nation's capital, last Tuesday night, and were turned back, decisively, by the local Community Yellowjackets. Finding the young Orange and Black team's defense practically impenetrable, the Pittsburghers were forced to accept a 34-16 lacing, the worst defeat they have suffered in the past three years. Cheered by nearly 600 court enthusiasts, the Yellowjackets, without the services of Slim Thomas, stellar six-foot pivotman, put over an exhibition of court play which proved a revelation to their local following. Jumping into the lead at the outset, the Community lads meant not to be denied in this ambition—victory over one of the country's class A combinations. Working around the versatile Soup Turner, whom they used as the pivot in their offensive, the Yellowjackets presented a fast passing game which completely baffled their highly fouled opponents. Turner repeatedly took the ball, dribbled through several opponents and fed it to either of his two forward mate, Givens or Lacy, for points. In this manner the locals established a lead which, aided by the stellar guarding of Zig Johnson and Tommie Jackson, was never overcome by the visitors For some unexplainable reason, the Pittsburgh quint could not find itself. Henry, former star Dunbar High School courtman, and upon whom the Ritz aggregation depends for balance and steadying, was unable to accompany his teammates owing to an attack of the flu. Gus Neville, sensational young forward, showed lack of confidence in working with Pappy Williams, former Loendi performer. Despite this handicap, however, Neville was high point scorer for his team. From start to finish the contest was a rough-and-dumble affair. Both teams appeared willing to give and take in a game which bordered more along the western type of play than the open eastern style. CARLISLES DEFEAT HEBREWS Failing in a last minute effort to overhaul the Lichtman Carlisle tossers, the Jewish Community Center Collegians, Community Center League champions of 1928, were frustrated in their initial clash with a colored team, at the Colonnade, last Thursday night. The Carlisle quint, despite the absence from the line-up of Slim Henderson and Eddie Davis, who have returned to school, showed an admirable offensive and a most baffling defense in taking the Jewish clan into camp by a 21-19 score. Not until the final three minutes of play did the Community Center tossers even threaten the Conway clan. Except for the first scant pair of moments the white team was not even on even terms with the Sign-painters. That occasion followed a beautiful loop shot by the inimitable Ev Davis, diminutive member of the locally famous Davis brothers. The stellar Carlisle forward's two-pointer was matched a few seconds later by a fast run-up shot from the fingers of Syd Wallerstein. Were it not for the "ivory stunt" of the usually sensational DeBoskey, in the last minute of play, the final score would undoubtedly have taken on a different mould. The flashy Collegian, with less than sixty seconds left to play took a pass from downcourt, and with no Carlisle player near him appeared to be on the verge of sinking the tying score. DeBoskey, however, elected to take a single dribble, and it was just the split second which it required for him to make up his mind and execute that Coates, speedy colored forward was down on him to block the shot attempt. This was the climax of a rally in which the Collegians rose to the heights of almost overtaking their opponents only to fail at the most crucial moment. This climax followed a rally which carried the visitors from 10 points behind to within one field goal of the victors. Carlisles G. F. P. Collegians G. F. P.

Captain Byrd, on behalf of the football squad presented to their coach, Gideon Smith, a bronze statue of a coach. In this way the squad wished to show in some measure their appreciation for the service rendered them and Hampton Institute. In his seven years of work at Hampton, Coach Smith has developed championship teams in four instances, runners up in two instances, and one third place team. This is an enviable record for any coach, and one unequalled by most coaches in Negro football.

The visitors who have defeated all comers in the past few years have among their ranks such stellar cagers as Pappy Ricks, Fats Jenkins, Slocum, Saunders, and Myers, an array of the greatest topnotchers found in a single combination today. Betting Rife While sport followers here are doubtful of the prowess of the local quint to stop the New Yorkers, betting is taking on momentum in the form of outside limits. Some of the speculators wager that the visitors will be held within five points, and enthusiastic followers of the local team contend that the Harlemites will be trounced by virtue of the fact that they will be put through a stiff battle on the previous night when they clash with the Morgan College Bears, inter-collegiate champions.

The game was rather one-sided throughout, the defensive and offensive game of the Seasiders proving too formidable for the Shaw-ites. Passing and shooting with almost deadly accuracy on the offensive; and guarding, fighting for the ball; blocking shots on the defensive equally well, the Hamptonians suppressed all efforts of the Shaw quint to break through for consistent points. Coach Williams gave his utility men a chance to workout and they showed to advantage. Shaw used her entire squad in an attempt to stem the tide of Hampton points, but with little success. In the absence of Alexander, Cotton was high point man of the game. Cottet, Jones, Taylor and Hargroves, led the Seasiders, while Black, Baker and Flagg did their best for Shaw. RS We Mu Our En LORAIN, O.—Slaughtered by a devastating two-fisted attack, Francisco Cruz, Portuguese boxer, was knocked out by George Godfrey, heavyweight of Leiperville, Pa., in the second round here Monday night. Outweighed by thirty pounds and possessing little ring science, Cruz was a target for the blows showered upon him by the "Black Panther." A left to the stomach spilled Cruz for a count of seven in the first canto. The knockout came just 17 seconds after the second round got under way, a left to the jaw and right to the body flooring Cruz for the count.

Morgan Bears Trounce the Bisons in Opener Morgan Bears Trounce the Bisons in Opener Baltimoreans Hard Pushed in Nip and Tuck Floor Game With Hilltoppers Before one of the largest crowds that has ever attended a basketball game in the new Howard gymnasium the Morgan College Intercollegiate Champion Basketball Team took the first home game from Howard, Friday night, with a score of 32-25. The first half was fast and furious. Wood slipping through to make the first score for Howard, and Williams adding a point from the foul line before Morgan could score. A field goal by Morgan, and a foul tied the score which was repeatedly tied until the last five minutes when Clark, Morgan's star right forward, broke through, working down the court, making two shots from under the basket in rapid succession. Half 16-12 The half ended with a score of 16-12 in Morgan's favor. At the beginning of the second half Howard again made the first counter, and by two remarkable goals from the floor by Simpson and one by Wood gave evidence of close competition and hope of Howard victory. Howard's passing was a bit wild, as compared with Morgan's, and missed many more tries for the basket than the visitors, both from the court and the foul line. Simpson outplayed "Lanky" Jones, although the star center from Morgan College outjumped the "Bison Ace." Simpson and Clark tied for high score honors, both receiving eleven points. During the last five minutes of play Williams was taken out on personal fouls. Coach Burr sending in Louis Coates, last year's captain. Tucker replaced Spencer at left forward, but unlike Coates was able to slip through a field goal. Umpire—Cupid; referee, West-moreland; time of game—20-min. halves. SOUTH'N CHAMPS NOSED OUT BY ROOKIE TEAM KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 8 — The Knoxville College cagers last Monday defeated Clark University of Atlanta, champions of the Southeastern conference for the past three years, after a five-minute overtime period, by a score of 32-31 in one of the fastest basketball games ever witnessed here. Facing a seasoned team of long standing, the Knoxville five, with only one veteran, fought every inch of the way to victory, amid the shouts and cheers of several hundred enthusiastic fans. While all of the K. C. men played a remarkable game, the work of the two freshmen, Eugene Johnson and Saul Sanford, was spectacular. For the invaders, "Squat" Johnson was the high scorer with Dalton running amide second. The defense of the Atlanta quintet was air tight, with the guarding of Dupré especially commendable. The game opened with the visitors getting the jump and scoring four baskets before the Bulldogs realized what was happening. However, the locals were able to score five baskets before the end of the half while Clark added another four. The first half ended with Clark leading 16-10. At the beginning of the second half it was seen that Knoxville had taken on new life and both teams mixed fast and furiously. At the end of the regular playing period the locals had succeeded in tying the score at 26 all. With the beginning of the overtime period Knoxville continued to play the same kind of basketball that had enabled them to overcove the early lead of Clark and when the final whistle blew the score stood 32-31. The line-up of the teams: Knoxville Clark Sanford ..... R.F.... Dalton Williams ..... L.F.. S. Johnson Lilly ..... Center.... Calbert E.Johnson ..... R.G.... Hazzard Needham ..... L.G....

TILT LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — In a game bitterly fought and marred by an avalanche of fouls, Shaw University nosed out St. Paul N. & I. School in the latter's first C.I.A.4. game, 26 to 24. Fouls by Abyr, substitute guard, gave Shaw the winning margin at the end of the game which was a see-saw contest from beginning to end. St. Paul led at the half 12 to 11, through the stellar shooting of Wells. The Shaw players were more adept at ringing in the free throws; ten of their points came by this route. St. Paul scored more from the floor but lost the game through the inability to pocket the free chances. Yearargin, Walker, and Black were outstanding for Shaw, while Wells, Hughes, and Blunt starred for St. Paul.

ADVERTISEMENT WORLD CHAMPION RENAISSANCE CLUB TO MEET CARLISLES Will Invade Washington Next Wednesday Night, January 23 GREATEST COLLECTION OF BASKETBALL STARS EVER ASSEMBLED Next Wednesday night, January 23, in the Lincoln Colonnade, the sport fans of Washington will be given a rare treat when the famed Renaissance Club of New York City, basketball champions of the world, visit the National Capital to take on the Lichtman Carlisle Five, District champions. Never before in the history of athletic sports has a colored basketball team reached the dizzy heights now occupied by the famous New York aggregation. After repeated defeats of the original New York Celtics at the hands of the Renaissance Club they have been proclaimed world's champions. The famous Celtic machine, having disbanded, the Renaissance are probably in a class by themselves. With such famous court performers as Pappy Ricks, Fats Jenkins, Slocum Saunders, and Mayers, this club made a most envious record last season, winning 111 games and losing only 20. They are the greatest drawing card in basketball today. By special arrangement, and at a tremendous expense the management of the Lichtman Theatre corporation has succeeded in bringing this world famous attraction to the Colonnade. A larger auditorium would have suited better, the large crowds that will probably jam the Colonnade next Wednesday, but the Colonnade is the only available basketball hall at present. It has taken over four years of ceaseless effort to bring this famed aggregation to Washington. Owing to the tremendous expense involved there will be a special scale of prices for this game only. Ladies will be admitted for 50 cents before 8:30. After 8:30 the admission for ladies will be 75 cents. Admission for gents will be $1.00. This may be your last chance to see this famous collection of colored court starts in action. An effort is being made to have the original Carlisle team intact, and if successful the Renaissance Club will be in for 40 minutes of strenuous work. Wednesday night, January 23. There will be 4 hours of dancing as usual. Music will be furnished by the Club Bohemia Orchestra. MUSIC DRAMA "What is wrong with the show business?" she checked back at me. 'You have come to the right person. I know the answer. Raps Managers "The trouble with this game is a set of unscrupulous owners and managers who seemingly have syndicated themselves together to stifle progress along the lines of art and entertainment. They feel that any kind of show is good enough for a colored audience and their only desire is to have a comedian and a few half-naked girls on hand to keep the doors open. Insult Intelligence "They insult the intelligence, and prey on the necessity of Negro patrons. They sense that the people must have some place to go for amusement; instead of giving them the best talent possible, they palm off the worst as long as they can. "When the crowd gets fed up on that sort of diet, they try to book a good show and try to get it for the same money they pay an amateur company which was made up overnight. This is what a certain owner told me, and I'll name him when and if necessary: 'I have been losing money all year, and I have to get out of the red on your engagement here.

Figures Talk "Let me give you some figures in this particular case. Years ago, when I had a smaller show he refused to pay me a guarantee of $1,400. I went in on a percentage and took away $2,700 for my end of the receipts. The last time we played his house my cut for the week was $3,750. Then, when l. tried to get me this fall, he offered me a guarantee of $1,600 instead of the usual percentage and explained himself by saying that I. Mae Whitman, had to make up for the bad weeks other people had given him. "He offered me $1,600 for a company of 30 people. He offered me $1,600, and it would have cost me $490 in railroad fare, exclusive of baggage transportation, to get there! (Excuse me if I am not as calm as usual.)" "What encouragement does a producer get out of that sort of stuff? How can you improve and develop your shows and people if there is no more money available for a good show than for a misfit outfit? "Battle of the Sexes" at the the Republic D. W. Griffith, the famous motion-picture director, believes that reality is the basis of the greatest drama and in consequence has chosen for the theme of his latest picture, "The Battle of the Sexes," a story that might happen in any family. This picture will be shown at the Republic on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, January 19, 20, 21 and 22. The plot Griffith claims deals with situations that might happen to anyone. Overnight a happy married man finds himself unbelievably rich. He and his family look forward to peace and plenty for the years to come, but they do not figure on what chance may throw in their way. Lured by his gold an adventurous contrives to burst in upon his life, and instantly there is chaos. Home, happiness, fortune, honor, all are risked for the love of this vampire. "The Battle of the Sexes" is a United Artists picture, synchronized with music and sound effects. The theme piece is "Rose in the Bud." The orchid of the screen, Corinne Griffith, has her most dramatic role in her latest picture, "Outcast", which will be shown on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, January 23, 24, and 25. In the role of Miriam, a girl buffeted about the floatsam and jetsam of life in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, Miss Griffith gives a very sincere and faithful performance and Edmund Lowe, who is seen as her leading man for the first time also takes full advantage of his role. The story of "Outcast" revolves around a girl of the streets who is picked up by the richest man in town. "Outcast" is also synchronized with music and sound effects which lends itself to one of the biggest scenes in the picture—a New Year's Eve celebration. There will be a complete change of Vitaphone acts with each change of feature picture. "Out of the Ruins" at the Broadway For Sunday and Monday, Richard Barthelmess and Marvin Nixon will be seen in "Out of the Ruins," one of the strangest stories ever told—a tale as deep as the mysteries of night. Tuesday and Wednesday, that emotional actress, Pola Negri, in her latest picture, "The Woman from Moscow," declared to be the most dramatic story of her career.

BROADWAY SHOWS WANT BLUES Comely girls who can sing the blues without faking, is the problem that is worrying the agents and the white producers. This type of song that was brought to the stage by the Negro, and only the Negro can do, is being given the utmost attention by producers. When looking for talent, it is easy to get anything you want but a hot blues singer, somebody who is able to stop the show. There are plenty of imitators, but a good looking girl who has an ounce of the hot blue melody is as rare as radium. At one Broadway club there were at least fifty who tried, but none were able to make it. Top money is offered female diaphragms with the punch necessary to make the grade. Thurs., Fri., Sat., Sun.

Since the President-elect arrived in Washington, January 7th, little, if anything has come from his lips as to his program which will begin March 4th. Among the submerged tent, there is much surmising as to the many and varied places to be filled. No word, however, has escaped from the lips of Mr. Hoover. A real slant may be had in the possibility of the appointment of "Wild Bill" Donovan, as Attorney General. Col. Donovan is one of Mr. Hoover's closest friends.

As concerns the Negro, the Klan is working rather diplomatically, since the Republicans took it under their wing. Of recent there have been very few outrages committed by the Klan against Negroes.

Therefore, in answer to the question: "What will Hoover do?" can be easily answered when we know what the Klan plans are for the Negro. There are two captains to be watched and the strength of their influence in whatever appointments are made will be a weather vane on the Klan influence. If the Hawkins-Scott side puts over the most of the Negro appointees, the Klan influence will not be strong. If the Moton-Holsey crowd holds sway in appointees, look for much Klan influence. The Klan has not forgotten how well "Run Robert" obeyed its behest in the Veterans' Hospital affair a few years ago. It found him dependable then and can depend on him yet. Few people may know that Dr. Moton and Holsey were scheduled by the Klan, to head the Negro division of the Republican headquarters here last summer and fall—and that Holsey's place in the headquarters was due to a compromise with the Klan. It will be really interesting to see just what Mr. Hoover will do regarding Negro appointments.

I want a nice, kind-faced undertaker, one who looks like he might accept the job with regret and even shed a few THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 18, 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL In columns other than these you'll find a certain gentleman taking the editor of this poor little paper to task for his peculiar eccentricity of placing the pictures of comely young damsels of color on the front page. In the opinion of this leader that is no place for beauty. Feminine charm, he contends, should be carefully buried in the innermost pages if displayed at all, and he expresses his preference in no uncertain terms. Several years of association with newspaper men has taught me that in their brightest moments these scribes are generally very ignorant and I hold no brief for the scoundrels. I might, however, just for the sake of argument point out a few reasons that this particular editor entertains for his policy of publishing the beauty of the race on the front page. First, he contends that taken as a whole the American Negro is a mighty bad looking animal, whether you wish to admit it or not. When we find someone who doesn't look like a wreck of the Hesperus, it is worth publishing. We who happen to be of this specimen of humanity kid ourselves into believing that we look halfway decent, but it's a pretty tough proposition. We even hypocritically boast that "I am proud I am a Negro, and I thank God that He made me what I am." This is a white lie on a dark subject. The man who is glad he is black in a country that is governed by a white standard and his being black even makes it hard for him to get bread enough to eat is not only a prevaricator, but an ignorantus. This is drifting from the subject a bit, but just as we know we are pretty badly messed up, so do the white folks. This editor contends, and he may be wrong as editors generally are, that by publishing the pictures of attractive bits of Negro弱 femininity and displaying it on the newsstands by side with that of nordic femininity in such a manner that the pampered colorless blonds suffer by comparison with the exotic captivating beauty of the river Nile that still seeps through the veins of our brown queens of modern Negro womanhood, he is making a greater appeal for the wiping out of race prejudice than all the editorials one could write. What is that appeal? Merely the arousing in the hearts of men that deepest of all emotions the love for things beautiful. It makes nordics come to the sudden realization that here right under their noses is a race as beautiful as their own, but they in their blind prejudice could not appreciate it until it is brought before them in print. How can he hate a being so nearly like "himself?" It makes black men lift their heads and take a sidewise glance when their wives' backs are turned and say to themselves, "By cracky, I didn't know our gals could be so pretty. Well I swan!" Perhaps the editor is wrong. If the readers say so, he will give in and henceforth publish only the likeness of George Godfrey, Jack Johnson, Kid Chocolate, Baby Joe Gans, and other individuals who are doing things to make the world a better place to live in. Far be it from me to prophesy domestic complications, but I have been expecting a flood of divorce suits growing out of the new mode of women of wearing their old man's socks to keep their ankles warm. I imagine it must be awful disconcerting for a husband to wake up late in the morning and find that his wife has beat it with the family socks. I say family socks because with hose selling at such extortionate prices the average married man in Washington can only afford one pair of socks a season. A D. C. gent with two pairs is referred to as a well-to-do citizens and looked upon with envy by his fellowmen. It's getting so that the first member of the family up is the best dressed, and a man has to sleep with one eye open to keep his daughters from dashing off with everything but his pants. The only reason they leave him his red flannels is because flappers aren't wearing those anymore. The modern girl believes that the colder it gets the more she should leave off. We will assume for argument's sake that two socks on the feet are worth a dozen socks in the eye. But if the wife gets the two socks in the morning the husband should not be selfish, but should give her the dozen socks when she comes home at night. Yours for peace and harmony, unsolicited tears in its performance. I would rather take a gentleman whose face is totally unknown to me than submit to the ministrations of one of the hatchet-faced, fishy-eyed, calculating-appearing brethren whose faces greet us each week with a "you-the-next-victim" stare. Yours truly, Robert J. Newcomb. To the Editor: As a reader of several different colored papers weekly, there is one to my knowledge that has a fault, and that is the Tribune. Nearly every week on the front page, the picture of some supposed-to-be pretty school teacher or doctor's daughter is printed. I think as many others, that if their pictures are printed at all they should be on the inside of the paper. I also notice that girls of a darker complexion but of the same race never get their pictures in the paper at all, and are just as pretty or prettier than some of those I've seen. But so far as I am concerned I'd much rather see the face of some one who is doing something toward the uplift of the race. Charles A. Foreman, Navy Department. PENNINGS of local POETS OUT OF BONDAGE By Frederick A. Harris Out of the darkness of the night; Through pain and grimful sights, Came the dawn of another day That washed slavery away. Out of bondage freed men sprang, Ere the bells of freedom rang— Freemen dauntless, brave and true Joining the phalanxs of Union blue. May the memory of our past, Be a benediction of that last Gruesome tale of woe; Past—but not forgotten. Why should I storm love's batt'l ment Ere ambition's desires have been fulfilled? I know not why. PAGE Graysh Matthews Why is it, my blood runs cold and I lament, When I see others—some may be lovers. Perhaps more worthy of her hand? Why do I dream of her each night, And in that lover's dream my soul is thrilled? I know not why. Why is it, my tears, they flow? but I am right. I have not won, yet, I've seen love's sun; It's made of me a better man. Why am I sad, yet, seem content? My passions choked, defrayed or killed? I know not why. Why seems my heart shaken, and, rent: Denied that friend? Her virtues defend, And doubt not there stand with why. By Lorenza Jacque 503 Fla. Ave. N.W.

THE WIND By Genevie Middleton (8) The wind blows high, The wind blows low, The wind blows cold Across the snow. 18 14th St., S.E. MY NEIGHBOR'S BOY He goes on Sunday to the church And sits among the boys; The smaller boys he teases; He worries every one in church With artificial sneezes. He never learns a thing at school, He's always playing hooky; Sometimes I see him hanging 'round To steal my ginger cookies. He steals my apples and my pears, He steals my plums and peaches, Some day I'll turn old Fido loose To shake him by the breeches. BERNADINE MORRIS St. Louis, Mo. Winner of St. Louis Prize Medal in NELSON'S BEAUTY CONTEST says: "My friends ask me how I keep my hair so pretty with so little effort. I proudly recommend Nelson's Hair Dressing.

NELSON'S HAIR DRESSING How Weak Nervous Women Grow Stronger How Weak Nervous Women Grow Stronger Feel Better, Look Younger and Have Steadier Nerves If you only knew—you rundown, anemic women—who are dragging yourself around on your "nerve"—what a wonderful increase in strength and health Tanlac will give you, you wouldn't hesitate a moment about going to your druggist and getting a big bottle of this splendid medicine. Mrs. F. C. Martin, of 1907 Frederick Ave., Baltimore, Md., says: "I suffer from chronic nervous and stomach trouble and had just about lost hope of getting well. But here I am today—a whole year since taking Tanlac—feeling stronger and younger than in years." Tanlac is as free from harmful drugs as the water you drink—only Nature's own medicinal tonic herbs. Druggists know this and for the past 10 years have recommended it to men and women who need a quick "pick up" that will put them on their feet and give them a new interest in life. So confident are the makers of Tanlac that if you are not helped by it, you get your money back on request. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED SPECIAL FEATURES Goode Tailoring Co.

CLIFFORD BURIED IN CLEVELAND HOME William Henry Clifford, a well known character around the District for many years, succumbed to a lingering illness at his home here last Thursday. Born in Cleveland, Ohio, April 8, 1862, William Henry Clifford lived a colorful life. He attended the public schools of Cleveland and early entered the political life of that city, receiving his first appointment as deputy court clerk of Cayahoga county. After spending twelve years in this position he was elected to the state legislature in 1893 to 1897. During this period he had the distinction of casting the deciding vote that brought Mark Hanna into prominence as the maker of presidents He came to Washington during the McKinley administration, securing a position in the office of General Accounts, from which he retired in August, 1924. Practically since then he has been in ill health. His funeral was held in Cleveland last Saturday. Interment took place there. Mr. Clifford married Miss Carrie Williams, of Columbus, Ohio, in 1886. Of this union two sons were born, Maurice C., and J. Williams, both of whom survive their father, along with their mother. Mrs. Clifford remained in Ohio for a month to rest.

F. P. Williams, Dr. J. F. Blagburn, Charles A. Cornish, Martin R. Powell, Thomas Shipley, Harry Parker, James S. Chapman, Sarah Turner, and Flora Collier make up the committee on social sessions. Secretary George W. Cook of the Howard University Alumni Association, was presented a brief case and wallet by the alumni on the occasion of his seventy-fourth birthday. The presentation gave rise to the suggestion that a tablet be erected in honor of Prof. Cook, signifying his fifty-four years of official connection with the university. The suggestion was referred to the executive committee, by vote of the local association, with the request that detailed plans be perfected and a committee appointed to secure funds for the project. The plan of the Balloch tablet was approved as feasible; viz., small contributions from the largest possible number of graduates and former students of the university. This is the first project of the kind initiated by the alumni as the tablets in honor of Dr. Lamb and Dean Balloch both originated with the student body. ADVERTISEMENT An Old Fraternal Society Entering A New Field An Old Fraternal Society Entering A New Field The United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten are now recruiting for the organization of its first lodge in the city of Washington. This order is not an experiment in the fraternal world. Over sixty years of solid growth, over three hundred thousand members in its fold, substantial realty value: throughout the United States, and a strong financial reserve to sustain its membership. The drive for the charter membership of the lodge in Washington is not being characterized by a long series of mass meetings. The group system is being adhered to in order that we may be able to obtain for its operation men and women of rightful purpose and clearly visioed enough to realize just what part the fraternal society must play in the economic and civic future of our group. The following persons may render reciprocal services: those who were formerly members in the respective communities from which they came; business and professional men and women; any man or woman having a place on their program of activities for fraternal work. This drive has been authorized by Mr. I. I. L. Dismukes, National organizer, of Pittsburgh, Pa. A special dispensation is now on, $3.00 per member, male or female.
