Slayer of Matt Taylor Nabbed in 2nd Holdup Murder RACE LEADERS SLIGHTED IN TREASURY APPOINTMENT ManSaysHeLovedSweetie's Children Better Than Her CAPITAL EDITION Vol. VIII, No. 35 RACE LE APPOINTM'T CHEATS RACE OF POST Coolidge's Choice for Register of Treasury Slipped In Overnight Colored Republicans were given no time to submit a recommendation of one of their number for the office of Register of the Treasury when a vacancy occurred. The next day after creating the vacancy, President Coolidge filled it, surprising those who expected to make a fight to regain this office for one of the race. President Coolidge, on January 15, nominated Walter O. Woods, of Kansas, who had been the Register of the Treasury since October, 1924, to be the Treasurer of the United States. The Senate confirmed Mr. Woods on that day. On the next day the President nominated Edward E. Jones, of Harford, Pennsylvania, to be the Register of the Treasury in place of Mr. Woods. The Senate confirmed Mr. Woods last Saturday. Race Plans Fight Colored Republican leaders who plan to make a fight to regain this office as a reward for party services will have to wait to wage their battle until the next vacancy occurs. The Register serves at the pleasure of the President, which means that he can continue in office until the White House asks for his resignation. John R. Hawkins, who was the chairman of the colored voters division of the Republican national committee in the campaign, has been frequently mentioned for the post. Mr. Hawkins is the financial secretary of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the president of the Prudential Bank, and a member of the trustee board of Howard University. Has Church Backing If Mr. Hawkins should consent to the use of his name in connection with the fight to regain this office for colored Republicans, he will be a formidable candidate. He can command the support of the Republican organization of the District of Columbia and the bishops of his church, some of whom are very active and prominent in politics in northern, eastern and western states. Bishop Once Served A coincidence is that one of the last colored men to fill the office of Register of the Treasury was the Rt. Rev. William T. Vernon, now a bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., who succeeded Bishop Vernon, was the last. Declined Appointment The late President Woodrow Wilson made the gesture of offering the post to Major Adam Pat- (Continued on page 10) ManSaysHeLove Children Better Attempted to Kidnap Children of Another man After Supporting Them One of the most unusual cases dealing with domestic relations to come under the jurisdiction of the police court for sometime was heard when George Barney was arraigned on charges of threatening the life of Anna Holt, Monday morning. The young woman declared that the man had threatened her after he had attempted to kidnap her two children. Barney declared that although he was not the father of either of the children, he had been supporting them for several years and loved them more than he did the girl. He was angered, he said, when he was denied permission to see the children. Judge Gus A. Schult dismissed him but ordered him to stay away from the Holt home.

ELECT NEW BANK HEAD NEW TRIAL FOR CONVICTED MAN Man Found Guilty of Second Degree Murder Granted New Hearing Attorney John H. Wilson has succeeded in getting a new trial for Clarence R. Patterson, who was convicted recently on a charge of second degree murder. Chief Justice McCoy in the criminal division of the District Supreme Court, last Saturday, granted Mr. Wilson's motion for a new trial for his client. Mr. Wilson contended that the court erred in failing to instruct the jury as to the elements of manslaughter in the case. Patterson is charged with fatally stabbing Thomas Root in front of No. 39 Fenton place, northwest, on September 14, in the course of an argument over the payment of $1 in a liquor transaction. The defense claims that Root struck Patterson and the latter stabbed him in the heat of passion. 3-ALARM FIRE AT U STREET BUILDING A 3-alarm fire, which threatened for a time to assume serious proportions, damaged the printing establishment of Robert L. Pendleton, 1216 U street northwest, Wednesday evening. Starting in rubbish in the basement, the fire rapidly ate its way through the walls of the first floor, before it was discovered. Soon after the arrival of the first fire companies, a second and third alarm was turned in, calling out engines from all sections of the city. Mr. Pendleton voiced his appreciation of the prompt and efficient action of the fire department, which, he said, averted the destruction of the entire building. The loss is fully covered by insurance. Mr. Pendleton stated. In addition to the printing establishment, the building is occupied by Monroe's Brokerage Service, and the National Alliance of Postal Employees.

Masonic Head Dies Suddenly Dreams of Completed Temple Never to be Realized as Death Steps In Charles P. Ford, head of the Masonic Fraternity in the District of Columbia, died suddenly at Freedmen's Hospital at eight o'clock Wednesday evening after a brief illness. Mr. Ford was elected Masonic Grand Master in 1923 and served in that capacity until the time of his death. He was a past grand patron of the Order of the Eastern Star and was actively identified with all branches of the Masonic Fraternity. He is credited with having accomplished the seemingly impossible when he was instrumental in bringing about resumption of construction work on the new Masonic Temple building at Tenth and U streets, after the structure had stood in an incomplete state for more than four years. It is believed that the strain of cares and worry incident to financing this work led directly to the nervous breakdown which preceded his death. Mr. Ford, who was in his late forties, was born in Texas and came to Washington about twenty years ago. In 1914 he married Miss Lillian Day, of Greensboro, N. C., who survives him. He was a graduate of the School of Law of Boston University, received an A.B. degree from Howard University, and practiced his profession before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. He was actively identified in church work, was president of the Laymen's Association of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and a trustee of Asbury M. E. Church. In addition to the Masonic fraternity, Mr. Ford was a member of numerous other fraternal organizations, including the Odd Fellows, Elks, Galilean Fishermen, Association, Elder Men's Relief Association. Funeral arrangements had not been completed at the time of going to press. ROBBED HIM WITH KNIVES MANSAYS Man Declares Pair Took His Money After Inviting Him to Home Two men giving their names as Asbury Rice and Chris Starks, living at 815% Twenty-third street, were committed for the action of the grand jury on charges preferred by Civie Jacobs, of 2108 E street, northwest, who declared that they had held him up with knives and robbed him of $6.50 after inviting him to their home, Monday. John H. Wilson, attorney, requested the court to dismiss the case on the grounds that the men had been engaged in a card game and Jacobs became angry and ordered their arrest on a trumped up charge after they refused to return the money he had lost. Judge Gus A. Schultz refused to consider this however, ruling that it would have been impossible for the man to have described minutely the knives the men used had there not been some gesture causing their use. The knives were found on the men when they were arrested sometime later. Bond was placed at $2,000 each. STREET SWEEPER HURT Josiah Brooks, of the Salvation Army, Seventh street, a street sweeper, was struck by an auto Tuesday, causing abrasions of the forehead, which needed hospital attention. PRICE 5c Mother of 8 Robs Three Employers in 3 Days STAY ROBS CHAIR OF SLAYER 23-Year-Old Youth Gets Last Minute Reprieve For Appeal George Herbert Thompson, youthful slayer of his sweet-heart, who was scheduled to die in the electric chair at the District jail last Thursday, two days before the date set for his execution was granted a stay until March 29, by Chief Justice Walter L. McCoy in the criminal division of the District Supreme Court. The stay was granted to permit the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia to pass upon a motion for a new trial asked by the slayer's counsel, Frank L. Kelly. Thompson shot his sweetheart, Elsie K. Brown, on October 31, 1927, at 1010 Kenyon street, northwest, after she had repulsed his efforts toward effecting a reconciliation. They had quarrelled over another man's attentions to her. At the time he was only 21 years of age. He was convicted of first degree murder. The condemned man is a native of Rocky Hill, Conn. Traded Suit for Gun In his confession Thompson said that he and the young woman had been sweethearts and on the eve of the murder he met her coming out of the house with another man. She ordered him to leave her alone, as she did not care to see him any more. After failing to effect a reconciliation Thompson traded his suit and overcoat for a revolver. He called on the girl again, and when she still held out he shot her, killing her instantly.

She was remanded to the Probation Department by Judge Gus A. Schult. IDENTIFIED BY WITN'SS OF CRIME By George D. Tyler CHICAGO, II. (Special) to Tribune)—Leonard Shadlow, 23 years old, leader of a band of gunmen who on Friday robbed the Franklin Trust and Savings Bank, Thirty-fifth and Michigan avenue, and shot Martin French, an aged guard at the bank, to death, was on Sunday identified as the slayer of Matthew Taylor, Jr., late manager of the Metropolitan Theatre. Lee pointed out Shadow as the slayer from a number of suspects lined up at the regular weekly police show-up in the South State Street Station. Accused of Two Murders Shadow and three others, Leonid Brown, Melvin Jenkins, and crying Williams, alias Fisher, were taken to the bank on Sunday, where they re-enacted Friday's murder and robbery. All four made full confessions except as to the actual firing of the shot which killed French. Shadow's companions all named him as the slayer, but Shadow refused to admit he had fired his pistol during the holdup. French was killed with a .38 calibre bullet, and Shadow carried a .38 calibre revolver. Jenkins also named Shadow as the man who shot and killed Taylor at the Metropolitan Theatre. A fifth member of the gang identified as "Shorty" Dixon, is being sought. Taylor, a former Washingtonian, was slain while counting the day's receipts in the office of the theatre about three weeks ago. HAITI GETS NEW AIR MAIL ROUTE Negro Republic Has Connecting Service From Miami, Florida A new air mail service to Portau-Prince, Haiti, was inaugurated Monday, according to an announcement by W. Irving Glover, second assistant Postmaster General. The Haitian capital will be served by planes flying between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Porto Rico. The Post Office Department plans to make other extensions on this foreign air mail service route that will ultimately form a complete circle of the Caribbean Sea, according to Mr. Glover. Plan New Routes The department will not extend its air mail service in Central and South America, he stated, until after the route between Miami, Florida, and Christobal, Panama Canal Zone has been inaugurated on February 4. As soon as operations have been begun on this route, he said, it will be extended to link up with the route now operating between Miami, Florida, and San Juan, Porto Rico, with the southern end touching at Buenos Aires, Argentina.

BLIND ASSOCIATION MAKES MOVE FOR AID After along and careful stndy of the blind problem, in this city, the Cepital City Association of eol- ored blind plans to enter business. At the regular monthly meeting of the association, resolutions were adopted calling for such a measure and the executive committee has been vested with the power to car, ty ovt the plans. The nature of this business will be made public at a later date. “T am glad,” said President J. E. Mathews, “We have at last reached ‘the conclusion, that the problem cannot be solved by build- ing homes for the blind, nor can it be solved by erecting workshops, for the purpose /of caining chairs, making mops, baskets and the like, “There is a solution, and it can be met only by placing the, blind back into the business and indus- trial work from whence they came. If the blind are to exist they should be given a chance to prove to the general public thet they are caps: le and efficient to do work with- out eyes-as well as with them, Both the Federal and National Government holds the key to this problem, for there are hundreds of positions in, beth branches which the blind could fill.

WHITES WHITE REALTORS ATTACK VICIOUS injustice to be Forced to Live Near Colored People," They Tell Sub Committee The Sub-committee of Appropriations of the House, that handled the District appropriations, made its report Monday, leaving out the item for an eight-room addition to the Lovejoy School, Twelfth and D streets, northeast, the Lincoln-Gidding item at Fifth and D streets, southeast, and the location of the health school for colored children. It recommended an appropriation of $150,000 to build a health school but left the location "undetermined." Notwithstanding that the Board of Education has purchased seven acres of land for that purpose, located on Bladenburg road, east of the Olivet Cemetery. This land was purchased last June for the specific purpose of erecting the health school. Whites Protest These items were left out as the result of several protests offered by white residents and real estate promoters of the areas near them. Those protesting the erection of the health school were David A. Bear, real estate promoter; G. C. Bowie, real estate dealer; Harry A. Kite, real estate promoter; Rufus L. Lusk, secretary, Operative Builders' Association, and George A. Wilson, another real estate man. To Wage Fight Dr. J. Hayden Johnson is the oldest member, in point of service, on the school board. When asked for a statement regarding Lovejoy and the health school he said: "The colored members are a unit for locating the health school in that beautiful grove purchased for that purpose, and for the addition to Lovejoy. We mean to fight for these." When informed that Dr. Ballou was of the opinion that the health school would have to be erected elsewhere, he stated: "We have another opinion, and that is it should be erected on the seven acres purchased for that purpose." Regarding Lovejoy, he said: "That school has been there for more than forty years and those white people have moved into that area, knowing this was a colored school." When the item was called to the attention of Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson, he said: "I certainly hate that. It means we must go to bat.for this location." Seeks New Site Dr. Ballou seemed to be rather conciliatory in his position. He said that the committee ordered Major Atkins to see if he could secure another location for the colored health school, owing to the protests offered by the white people to its location on this tract. He also stated that Major Atkins had not reported to him so far. The location in Georgetown which was under consideration at one time has been built upon. He was of the opinion that the health school would not be located on the seven acres purchased for that purpose. Dealer Makes Protest Regarding the Lovejoy School, Dr. Ballou said that they were trying to adjust that situation by making an addition to the school at Fifth and D streets, southeast, or the one on Eighteenth street, northeast. That the area around Lovejoy was so solidly white, within the course of eight or ten years this school may be turned over to the white children. Harry A. Kite, a prominent real estate dealer and promoter here, vigorously opposed locing the school on the site selected. He has sold a number of house, to Negroes and therefore has quite a number of clients among colored people. However, he stated before the committee, on January 10, "I have built about 120 houses on L street in the section referred to by these gentlemen. One hundred two of these houses are occupied by home owners. I have 350 lots left to build on, on which I expect to continue to build the same kind of houses to sell. This is an especial hardship on me, because I bought that land from Senator Clark, of Montana, some twenty years ago, and he put a restricting clause in the deed. It is impossible for me to turn it into colored, and I doubt if I could sell the houses to white people if a colored school is located there. "I am a little upset on this, anyway, because when the school board moved that school for colored tubercular children to Twenty-fourth and F streets, I had three apartment houses in that neighborhood, and I was very much opposed to moving them there at that time, turning a white school into a colored school. I had an exodus of my tenants in those three buildings. Since then there has been a considerable loss in the rentals of those apartments, and I do not expect to ever get it back. I am willing to stand that, because it is more or less past history." Has Bad Effect, Claims It was said that this was temporary, to which Mr. Kite replied: "That is what they said, but I imagine it will always be a colored school, and it will always have (Continued on page 10) Moves Up A.

CHERRY wishes to announce that, contrary to current rumor, he has not moved his office, nor sold his home, nor left the city, but, that he is still located and doing business at 913 U street, northwest, and that his absence from his business was due to illness. "I was a sick man—could hardly go to work at all," says Mr. Chas. E. Parker, of Charleston, Ill. "I had severe throbbing headaches, dizzy spells, indigestion, tightness in my chest, shortness of breath. "My back ached and I could not stay in bed with any ease. Any way I turned I was in misery. "I tried different remedies till I heard of Black-Draught. I took a couple of good, big doses of Black-Draught and saw a big change. I was better—I ate better and slept better. I kept it up till I took a package. I was then able to go back to my work. I am a railroader and my work is hard. "I have kept myself fit by taking Black-Draught, and though I'm 52 years old I can do my work with ease right along with younger men. I am never without Black-Draught. I give it to my nieces for colds and stomach troubles and it helps them. It helps dizziness and bad taste in the mouth—an all 'round good medicine." Costs only 1 cent a dose.

Mrs. Albert H. Vestal, wife of Representative Vestal, Republican, of Indiana, who offered the amendment, denied that the purpose of her amendment is to bar members of the DePriest household from membership in the Congressional Club. The club's announcement regarding the amendment was as follows: "Mrs. Vestal offered the following amendment to the constitution at the regular business meeting, January 2, 1829. "It will be voted upon at the regular business meeting, February 6, in accordance with Article VII, of the constitution. Qualifying Clause The motion to amend the constitution to the Congressional Club reads: "Any person eligible to membership, either as an active or associate member of the club, shall submit her application in writing to the corresponding secretary of the club. Said application shall be indorsed by one or more active members of the club from the state, territory or district where said applicant resides. Said application shall, by the secretary, be referred to the executive committee, which shall pass upon the same, and report at the first regular meeting following the receipt of said application. "If this application is approved by said executive committee, the applicant shall be declared elected to membership upon the payment of her dues, etc., as set out in the constitution and by laws of the club.

Stole Employer's Overcoat to Adorn Sweetheart Stole Employer's Overcoat to Adorn Sweetheart The desire of Fannie Smith, who gave an address on F street, to adorn her sweetie in the finest male habiliments caused her to be arraigned in the police court Monday when it was said that an overcoat, shirts and other articles which she had given to Samuel Simpkins had been stolen. According to testimony, the young woman was employed by a white family in Chevy Chase, Md., when the articles were missing. The overcoat was recovered in the home where the young woman lived with Simpkins, who said that he is a baggage porter in the Union Station terminal. He was jointly arraigned, but was dismissed when the woman declared that she had given him the coat as a present and he did not know it had been stolen. She was committed for the action of the grand jury. MOURN PASSING OF VETERAN PRINTER A. G.

He was born in Vixburg, Miss. March 1, 1883, received elementary schooling there, came to Du Quoin, Ill., about 1873 where he learned the printer's trade. He gained quite a reputation in that field. He published the "Cairo Gazette," in 1884 and also the weekly "Three States." He was a stance Republican and was very active in politics, he also fought hard for prohibition and lived to see his dream come true. He was a conscientious Sunday school and church worker. Mr. Leonard was admitted to the Columbia Typographical Union No. 101 in Washington, D.C., June, 15, 1884, and was appointed a printer in the Government Printing Office in Washington, D.C. the same year and his work there was a credit to his race. Leonard was made commissioner of the Colored People's Departent Southern Inter-State Exposition for the District of Columbia. The exposition was held in Raleigh, N. C. October 1 to December 1, 1891.

DIAMOND COURT As I See It By Jack Lytell LOCAL SPORTS CONDITIONS Any number of previous occasions this writer has arisen to the demand of his sporting instinct to criticise various clubs, club management, schools and school athletic councils on their shortcomings in regard to good sportsmanship and their lack of effort toward inducting worthwhile development in race athletics. He has employed a column—probably under a different caption than the one used here for exposing various crudities which have too often seeped into the promotion of athletic contests by our local promoters—whether the promoter be individuals, or corporations, or fraternities, or institutions of learning. He has pointed out that of the failure on the part of the local promoters to put their best into their enterprises that development of athletics in this city has been slow and by no means encouraging. He has showed how local club teams, in their desire to "hog" the field have waged an underhand battle (employing coathort methods) to eliminate the competition which exists in the field of other club teams, and thus hurt the sport. He has upbraided Howard University football teams for the unsportsmanship maneuver which they have conducted themselves in facing impending defeat. He has deplored the attitude of high school officials who have, in various unaccountable reasons, effected unnecessary forfeitures in interscholastic championship contests. All these phases of athletic life in the Nation's capital have been discussed and irrascibly criticized by this writer as one of the chief reasons that Washington has failed to show any appreciable advance in the field of sports. This basketball season has shown very plainly that local promoters—at least those in the independent field—have awakened to the extent that they now realize what has marked the success of the county's financial wizards. Competition has been the keynote to the progress of Henry Ford, for without General Motors Inc., offering such spirited opposition in the automotive world, the Detroit factor would not, even now, be turning its greatly improved product. The Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company and Sanitary Grocery Company could not possibly enjoy the monopoly over the grocery field, so were it not for one another. Back to the subject then, with the third local independent basketball clubs operating in such determined effort, eclipse the product of one another as has been the case this year. Washington is enjoying the most successful court season in a decade. Still there is no marked degree of development. Still there is a promise that in future years the sporting world of this city will be better place to live in. The obstacle now, however, is not in the promoters themselves Nor is it in the teams. It is the public, or in fact a part of it. Very persons for whom the promoters have spent no end of time and money to please are falling down in their acknowledgement of a preciation.

ROWDISM FOST CEASE On three successive occasions fights and rowdyism have marred the games on local courts. The final whistle has seemingly been taken as a signal to start a disturbance. This state of affairs coming at a time when local promoters were just meeting with apparent success in creating a substantial following for the indoor sport comes as decided blow under the belt. Feminine fans, hardest to educate to the love of the game game, have already been frightened by such carrying on and have declared their intention to remain away. In spite of the fact that men are lovers or sport they also look upon these games from a social standpoint as well as athletic and once the women folk start coming there will also be an appreciable decrease in the male attendance. Managers and promoters should deal severely with those who quick these games to give vent to their low brow feelings and disburbers should be handled to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of whether they are players or spectators. The survival of the game is greater than catering to the individual and no pains should be prepared to see that the former lives. The offenders in most cases have been the outsiders rather than players. A coach can instill sportsmanship in his team when he gets them in the gym, but an entire different method will have to be used on the followers.

GEORGE GODFREY LAUDED Denman Thompson, sports editor of the Washington Evening Star, quoted Edmund Murphy, a white ring authority, in a statement made concerning George Godfrey and the coming heavyweight eliminations bouts in which the colored fighter was sidetracked: "Neighbor Murphy has a kindly word for, George Godfrey, who hasn't succeeded very well in his effort to gain recognition as a 'coender.' As my correspondent puts it, it was the questionable decision to post to Johnmy Risko that caused Godfrey to be sidetracked. He says: "This fight afforded a very filmsy excuse for dropping Godfrey from the elimination contests now being arranged; but the move is a very popular one among the crowd of championship aspirants, none whom wanted to meet him. "I do not believe that Tunney or Dempsey while holding the championship would have raised any objection to meeting the color man as a worthy opponent. Any fighter who would take refuge behind the 'color line' is a coward and should be dropped from the list of eligibles. No man can claim to be champion of the world who is afraid to meet any man of any color."

The Murray Palace Casino 920 U STREET POTOMAC 1667 A eat and mouse exhibition on the Colonnade court Wednesday night ended in a 69-35 victory for the New York Champion Renaissance when they towed their way through a thrilling encounter with the Lichtman Carlisles. Mayers, Ricks and Jenkins piled up eight points in rapid succession before Davis of the locals checked up one point as a foul. Greene Davis and Timen, who were sent in early in the first half were able to account for only nine points before the whistle blew for the first half, while the visiting cagers had piled up a lead of 16 points. **Game Fast** The second half while onesided furnished thrill upon thrill for the spectators as the Carlisle sent in fresh players to break the winning streak to no avail. With machine-like precision the visitors amassed a series of points that totaled 69 before the final whistle at times engaging in an exhibition of trick passing much to the edication of the spectators. The end found the locals trailing by 34 points. Davis, Greene and Brown were leaders in the Carlisle offensive but found difficulty in breaking through to the basket. Ricks and Jenkins served as feeders for the visitors and caged 10 and 7, respectively.

U. in Monumental City A swimming meet between Howard University and the Neptune Swimming Club, composed of members of the Drudl Hill Avenue Branch of the Y.M.C.A., was conducted at the Drudl Hill "Y", Friday evening, January 18. The Baltimore team won with a score of 44-34: Joe Drew won first place for Howard in the 50-yard breast stroke, Pete Tyson winning the plunge for distance and the fancy diving contest. Two members of the Howard team were natives Africans, Azkiwiwe, who won first place in the 50-yard back stroke, and Nyabongo, who won fourth place in the back stroke. Baltimore took first and second place in the 50, 100, and 220 yard free style, also winning the relay by a close margin. The outstanding star for Baltimore was Smallwood, who placed first in the 100-yard free style, together with Harris and Johnson in diving. Drew, Tyson, J. Harris, and Smith were the Howard mainstays. The Bison team will meet the Neptune Club in the Howard pool on February 8, where they will endeavor to win the rubber, Howard having defeated Baltimore in Washington last year, to tie the count with the Baltimore victory Friday night. PHELPS BOW TO ARROWS IN SERIES OPENER Opening a series of weekly basketball games in conjunction with matinee dancing, Pee Wee Covington's Arrow team trounced the Phelps Vocational School quins by the overwhelming score of 41-13 at the Colonnade, Wednesday afternoon. The contest was the initial one of the newly inaugurated policy of staging court games along with the regular weekly matinee dances. Although the crowd failed to break any attendance records, it was a fairly good turnout of fans which witnessed the proceedings. The Arrows were masters from the very outset, with Covington, Sewell, and Madison doing the brunt of the winner's offensive work. DUNBAR DOWNS CRACK YELLOWJACKETS IN UPSET The Dunbar High School basketball team sprang one of the biggest surprises of the season when they handed the Community Yellowjackets a neat 29-25 liking in the school gymnasium, Monday afternoon, of last week. Launching an attack around Boats Parker, elongated center, Coach Perkins' lads crept out to a big lead which the Community, upon finding themselves, found too difficult to overtake. Parker, Rock Matthews and Pickle Bland, were the outstanding performers for the Red and Black aggregation. Morgan Bears Squeeze Yellowjackets, 31-22 INSTITUTE, W. Va., Jan. 15—The basketball team of Morgan College demonstrated to the West Virginia Five, the students and several hundred spectators why it ranks at the top of the collegiate basketball by decisively defeating a well coached and strong team with a nine-point lead. The score was 31-32 and the contest was a stubborn and thrilling battle from start to finish. Shortly after the second half had begun, Morgan took the lead and was never again overtaken. During the last few minutes of play the Morgan Bears passed around their opponents with dazzling accurateness. Wheatley and Brown for the visitors played a stellar game, while Lanky Jones and Pinky Clark tied for high honors with nine points each.

DEMPSEY BLOCKS GODFREY BOUT "Dodging Jack" Now In Role of Promoter Continues to Act as Stumbling Block for Race Fighters NEW YORK.—Jack Dempsey, the ex-heavyweight champion, who for eight years kept Harry Wills from a crack at the title by drawing the color line, appeared in a new role this week when he halted a match planned for George Godfrey, another Negro heavyweight, at Havana. Godfrey was to be matched with either Mute Hansen, or Paulino Uzcdun, on February 18, by John McEntee Bowman, matchmaker. Dempsey halted the bout because it interfered with a fight which he was planning on February 27, at Miami Beach, Florida, between Jack Sharkey and Young Stribling. Dempsey's match was to be the first of a series of elimination bouts to pick a world's champion to succeed Gene Tunny. Godfrey was barred from these matches also because of color, although the Philadelphia mauler is considered the best of the present day group of fighters in the heavyweight ranks. Probably the only one connected with the collapsed enterprise who will be really disappointed is John McEntee Bowman. He realized that a Godfrey match against a good opponent would be far superior to a Sharkey-Stribling bout as a drawing card. Paulino and Godfrey drew $125,000 in Los Angeles last February, and they would probably double that in Havana. There are more Spaniards there. SEVEN SWIMMING DEMONSTRA TION AT HOWARD U. On Thursday, January 17, three hundred students and faculty members were given a rare treat in the Howard University natatorium when Comodore Longfellow spent an hour in the water demonstrating elementary swimming, how to be at home in the water, various advanced strokes, proper methods of life saving and resuscitation. This demonstration was arranged by Clarence M. Pendleton, swimming instructor in the Department of Physical Education. Comodore Longfellow illustrated the way in which a non-swimmer can save his own life in a swimming pool. He illustrated the proper methods of floating and many other things which every individual ought to know. After his demonstration, Mr. Pendleton and Professor Burr had the distinction of being the first two individuals in the United States to pass the life saving test under the new arrangements. There will be another demonstration by Miss Harriet K. Purdy. Miss Purdy is a native of Hawaii and began swimming in Hawaiian Islands when she was six years old. "Dizzy" VANCE LOCATED IN TEXAS AT GAME The Tribune sleuths who have been scouring the country in an effort to locate Marcus E. (Diszy) Vance, basketball promoter, whose disappearance following the Omega-Kappa game have finally met with success and report that that gentleman can be located in no other place than his home town, Marshall, Tex. Mr. Vance who caught air with about $400 in gate receipts in his pocket for the basketball game is also acting as a basketball official in Texas. He acted as timekeeper when the Wiley University Wildcats clashed with the Texas All Stars, last week. Mr. Vance will not divulge his plans for the future. MUSIC DRAMA STAGE-SCREEN ACTIVITIES STAGE-SCREEN ACTIVITIES F.B.O. TO MAKE ALL-CLOURED TALKIE F.B.O. is about to make an all-colored talkie of a musical with Alf Goulding directing. The success with "Show Boat" stimulated this idea, for the colored folk songs are what put over Edna Ferber's story. King Vidor is not worried about musical comedies, for "Hallelujah" will be on the market long before these other colored movies reach the screen. 'BLACKBIRDS' FOR PARIS AND LONDON Lew Leslie leaves this month for Paris to arrange details for presenting a company of his "Blackbirds" there. It will be a reproduction of his show at the Eltinge Theatre, New York City. After it has finished its Paris engagement, it will do a limited amount of trouping. In the meantime another company will be organized for London, where the initial showing will take place the early part of the spring. Both companies will be cast in New York and rehearsed here before going to Europe. HARLEM HAS NEW NITE CLUB Hauckes, is the name of Harlem's new night club. After spending several thousand dollars for decorating old Martin's Tavern, on Lenox avenue, this club opened its doors to the after theatre pleasure seekers, last Saturday, with a beautiful revue sponsored by our young producer, Clarence Robinson, with names like Alberta Pryme, formerly at the Chez Florence; Cora LaRedd, who has just returned from triumphs abroad; Viola Colston, and Hannah Sylvester, formerly at the Nest; Dusty Fletcehr, of "Deep Harlem;" Pee Wee and Eddie, and twelve beautiful creoles. This club ranks with the Cotton Club, Small's Paradise, and Connie's Inn. Gladys Bentley, Okeh record artist and new vaudelle blue stars, has finished two plays, "Her Danger Mark," and "Uncovered Sin," that are now in the possession of the Mark Solar office, who are considering the producing of one. Her latest record, "Wild Goose Blues," and "How Much of That Stuff Can I Stand," is just released and growing popular. "Some Little Bluebird," "Red Headed, Blue Eyed Colleen," and "Somebody's Stealing My Sugar," are from her own pen. NAT JOSEPH ENTERTAINS COLORED MOVIE STARS Last week, Nat Joseph entertained at the home of Allan Hale, Hollywood movie star, Nina Mae McKenny, "Hallelujah's" leading lady; the Dixie Jubilee Singers, of "Hallelujah"; Edward Coleman, Jr., G.

The show that enjoyed two successful runs here before moving to the big street closed at the Biltmore Theatre after one hectic week. New York did not take kindly to the production because, as the critics explained, it was too serious to be a musical comedy and had too much music to be a dramatic play, and Broadway refused to swallow a mixture of the two. The white element also could not reconcile itself to the historical background of the show which attempted to trace the development of the Negro race from the days of pomp and splendor to the present. White America was apparently not quite ready to be reminded that it had robbed the Negro of his heritage. One critic said that the play was evidently produced for colored consumption and did not set well with the whites. Herein lies the secret, "Deep Harlem's" failure. TEXAS TEAM STARTS NORTHERN TOUR MAKSHALL, Tex., Jan. 15 — Sam Hunter's Texas Stars en route to Chicago and points east, were defeated here tonight by Coach Long's Wiley Widcats by the score of 42-31 in one of the fastest basketball games ever seen in marshall. The game was sensational from start to finish, and although the Cats led during the entire game, it was only in the closing minutes that a sensational offensive spurt placed the game on ice for the locals. Guide Orlando, of the Ben Edwards office of New York City, and who was instrumental in securing the engagements of Daniel Haynes, Nina Mae McKnnel, Honey Brown, Belle McKnight, and Victoria Spivey for the leading roles in "Hallelujah," is arranging a revue featuring the above named five to play the Kieth-Orpheum at the completion of filming of this picture. MISS MILTON SPEAKS At the last faculty meeting at the Randall Junior High School, Miss M. A. Milton presented a discussion on "What Is the Best Plan of Procedure in Supervised Study." She outlined the most popular reasons advanced for the need of supervised study and the plans of procedure, as well as cited investigations by leading educators showing what teachers think of supervised study. The paper was followed by a lively debate by the members of the faculty for and against supervised study. DARROW AND UPSHAW Clarence Darrow and former Congressman Upshaw, from Georgia, locked horns in a debate on the 18th Amendment in Columbia, S.C., last week. Upshaw failed to even hold a light for Darrow. Mr. Darrow declared that all prohibitionists were hypocrites, and especially those of the south.

WASHINGTON OFF TO COAST George Dewey Washington, the golden voiced baritone, who has had a wonderful engagement while appearing with Paul Ash at the New York and Brooklyn New Paramount Theatres, left on last Tuesday aboard the Century for California, where he opens with Buddy Rogers, the screen star, as master of ceremonies, for an indefinite run at San Francisco's new Granada, latest addition to the Publix super picture houses.

The play is a romantic, enthusiasically youthful creation with scenes laid in old-fashioned Farmdale and fashionable New York. The love affair between Mary Anne Simmonds and Billy Barclay was enthusiastically portrayed by Edith Wormley and Quentin Watson. Louise Fisher became the jealous rival, Elaine Jewett. Milton Rose, cleverly playing the part of Richard Stanhope was at last successful in winning the hand of Anne. Perhaps one of the most outstanding characters was Betsy Scroggins, humorously portrayed by Sarah Mipns, whose droll wilt and lazy drawing tone and walk kept the audience convulsed with laughter. Florence Brown as Miss Slissy became the old maid town gossip who, being both milliner and dressmaker, succeeded in getting all the news even though in some cases it was necessary to use the telephone.

FOR ADULTS ONLY DIRECT FROM ITS SENSATIONAL RUN AT THE PRESIDENT THEATRE RIVAL THREWHER ON STOVE, CLAIM Conflicting Tales of Jealous Girls Baffle Judge in Court Judge Gus A. Schult sitting in the United States Branch of the Police Court is pondering over the conflicting stories told by two Claras Monday. Clara Jackson, 19, was accused of assault upon Clara Barlow, 30, during an altercation over the latter's sweetheart Sunday morning. According to Miss Barlow the other young woman was jealous because the man in question had left her and had come to live at the Barlow home. Miss Jackson is said to have watched her chance and when the latter's back was turned threw a jar and knocked her unconscious while she was stooping to put some wood in the stove. Only the intervention of a roomer saved her from burning to death, she said. Miss Jackson's version was that they were engaged in an argument when her opponent who was decidedly under the influence of liquor stumbled and fell upsetting the stove. As there were no other witnesses to the occurrence Judge Schult referred the accused girl to the probation department while he held the case under advisement. cast. Other members of the cast were Benjamin Henley, Hannah Nash, Charles Morse, Pauline Williams, Clara Brown, James Lee and William Ray. On the whole the cast was well balanced, with each character showing individuality in portrayal and excellent interpretation. They convinced their audience of the realness of their parts and sympathetically brought to them for appreciation and understanding the trials, worries, mistakes, enthusiasm and optimism of the youth during the "Golden Day" period of their lives. The scenery was designed by the guild and painted under the direction of Mrs. Hilda Brown. Incidental music was furnished by the Dunbar High School Orchestra, under the direction of Henry Grant.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1929 If you like your film fare to instruct as well as entertain, then by all means see "Unwelcome Children," which has been booked at the Broadway. The subject matter of the motion picture which stars Conrad Veidt is such that the management of the Broadway Theatre has found it necessary to confine its performance to adults only. Like prohibition, it deals with a theme that has been discussed pro and con for many years. Also like the Eighteenth Amendment, the public is pretty equally divided as to its merits. "Unwelcome Children," according to advance advertising released on the picture, is a stark open screen discussion of a social problem that is rocking the very foundation of civilization. The fact that it must be sensational is gathered from the theatre's decision to admit adults only. The picture will play a limited engagement at Broadway. Theatre starting Sunday, February 3. D. C. TRIO HELPS SEMINARY DOWN H.U. LYNCHBURG. Va. — Howard University bassketball five lost a fast, rough game to Virginia Seminary, the C.I.A.A. champions of last year, on their home floor. Virginia Seminary took an early lead when Thomas, Henderson and Davis, three Washington boys, rung up six baskets between them, while Howard was only able to get six points in the first half. The second half Howard managed to do better offensively, as well as defensively, but the smooth passing and masterful methods employed by the Seminary team held Howard team at bay. The game ended with the score 23-13. Howard, by losing this game, may lose their opportunity to cop the championship of C.I.A.A., unless they succeed in beating the Seminary boys on February 20, when they meet in Washington.

Much credit for this acquisition is due to Mrs. Julia Pritchett, a teacher at the school, and playground directress. For several years this fence has been her objective, and she has quietly raised over $200 for this purpose while the balance making a total of $300 was raised by the Mothers' Club. The cost of the fence is about $1,000. $500 was given by the City School Board. $300 by the colored citizens, and installation by the city.

The Elks, though handicapped with the loss of several of their last year's veterans, have one of the best teams the Alco Club, from which they grew, has had for the past three years. By combining fast aggressive youth with cool experience, Judge Smith has moulded together a machine which will spell disappointment for any opponent if not accorded serious consideration. Both the Yellowjackets and Elks have spent a strenuous week in preparation for the tilt, and those fans who turn out to witness the proceedings appear to be in for a game replete with thrills. TIGERS TO MEET A special meeting has been called by Andrew Allen, business manager of the Le Droit Tigers Baseball Club, for an election of officers for the onusng year. The meeting will be held at the home of Mr. James Baylor, 408 W street, northwest, Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock. CURRENT TOPICS OPPOSITION TO SCHOOL LOCATIONS The race question is ever present here in the Capital of this great nation—great because of its advanced civilization; great because of its supposed Christianity; great as the world's creditor; great in its supposed leadership of Democracy. Notwithstanding all of this greatness, America is the most backward in the solution of its racial prejudice. Washington is supposed to be the model city of the nation in education, however, it can never be the model as long as it maintains a segregated school system, regardless of the supposed equal facilities and salary of teachers. The only chance for equal facilities and opportunities in education can be had in one system. Since we have the dual system, we may expect opposition to arise practically every time a new school in the segregated divisions is to be located. The American white is built that way. Therefore, the opposition to the location of the health school on Bladensburg road is the natural consequence. So, it is up to the folks who want to locate the school there to produce a stronger argument for the school than the prejudice blinded opposers have presented to prevent its location. Their argument is faulty and if we eliminate the racial prejudice, they have no argument to offer. However, we are powerless to separate them from their prejudices, so we must combat it. First, Dr. Ballou and the school board knew there was a white subdivision just south of this seven-acre tract when they purchased it last summer. Therefore, Dr. Ballou and the Board should stand by their selection. The location is ideal for a health school, the elevation being among the highest in the District, is a very desirable factor for a health school. At a health school the children do not run wild over playgrounds and streets as at other schools. They will not even travel the streets on foot, but will be transported to and from school in busses, furnished by the Board for that purpose. The prejudice blinded opposers asserted that this school would become a Negro center and homes would be established there. There is Olvet Cemetery on the west, the U. S. Government has more than an hundred acres to the north and east of this seven acres, and the only available land for homes is in the tract to the south, which carries a covenanted deed to prevent Negroes from purchasing there. Hence there is no land for them to purchase for homes and that point is lost. And too, children in health schools are students only during the course of the disease. As soon as they are cured they are placed in the regular schools. So there is no incentive to purchase a home to be near the school for only a few months. That protest will not hold water. Washington needs a real militant organization with which to fight to a finish, just such unjustifiable protest as the one offered against the location of the health school and the addition to Lovejoy. The Parent and Teacher organization of a few years ago would certainly sit up with the prejudice ridden protests. The Lovejoy protests are purely prejudicial and against their own interest. If it is possible, as Dr. Ballou stated, that this school will be turned over to white children within the next eight or ten years, they should be proud to get this addition of eight rooms and assembly hall, for it will be a modern building with 28 rooms. Lovejoy is in the center of a large area of scattered colored homes. On the outer fringe of this area are three small school buildings. For them to accommodate the 967 children at Lovejoy would mean an eight-room addition to two of them and a sixteen-room addition to the third one, which would be better for the Board, and more economical for the government to build an eight-room addition to Lovejoy or ask for three additions of eight and sixteen rooms to the other three schools. It will pay the colored patrons of these schools to watch the hand of Dr. Ballou in this situation. THE MAN WHO MAKES A CONGRESSMAN Many men come to Congress. Few however, are ever heard of. As a result of the election of Oscar DePriest of Chicago, Ill., last fall, the first Negro Congressman in twenty-five years will come to Washington as a member of the 71st Congress. With the calling of an extra session by Mr. Hoover practically assured, Mr. DePriest will take his seat eight months earlier than he would under ordinary circumstances. With his coming to Congress, the question is naturally arising as to what kind of Congressman he will make. Will he be lost among the many, or, will he make a mark for himself and thus pave the way for Negroes to be elected in other districts. Regardless as to what the fitness of Mr. DePriest is, his success as a Congressman will depend entirely on his selection of his secretary. A secretary can re-elect or defeat him; he can make him a statesman or he can make him the laughing stock of Capitol Hill. To the people here who know how Congress functions, naturally they are now asking who will Mr. DePriest select as his secretary? This question is not only being asked by men of Mr. DePriest's own race, but the men on Capitol Hill who are very curious about the coming of a Negro among them, are also trying to find a yardstick by which they can measure the effectiveness of the man from Chicago. Good secretaries on Capitol Hill are valuable men and they are always very much sought after. This is because these secretaries usually are men who have spent years in various positions where they have had ample opportunities to learn the ropes so to speak. In other words, they know how to break through the red tape; they know legislative procedure; they know how governmental departments function; they know how to take care of the wishes of the people back home; they know how to protect the Congressman from the demands of his constituents. Unfortunately for Mr. DePriest he cannot live an obscure life when he comes to Washington. Every move he makes will be watched and every mistake he makes will be magnified. Therefore, he cannot afford to make any. When he comes to Washington, he will find himself in a new world with a new language and customs. Effective legislative work in Congress is not done on the floor of the House. The privilege of the floor in the House is hard to get. Its rules and precedents are many and varied. To a new Congressman untutored in them, he is as much lost as a blind man in a wilderness. Therefore, the main thing Mr. DePriest will need will be a secretary who is thoroughly experienced in the various rules, regulations, requirements, laws and practices on Capitol Hill. With such a man to guide and counsel him, the chances of making serious blunders will be greatly reduced. However, without such an experienced man, Mr. DePriest will either be lost in the shuffle or become the laughing stock of the House. He cannot afford to be the latter. It would be unfortunate for him to be lost in the shuffle. The hopes, aspirations and future of the Negro in Congress will largely depend on his conduct. Two years, the path of his tenure in office, will be too short for him to try to learn the ground-work by himself. His term will be up before he gets through with the alphabet. He will have a hard fight at best to overcome the stumbling blocks that will be put in his pathway. Without expert guidance, he is apt to fall. Therefore, it is of extreme importance to both Mr. DePriest and the Negro race that his selection of a secretary be a man who has had Congressional experience.

That she looks upon him as the embodiment of all wisdom, preferred stock socially, and thinks him quite a valuable citizen in the community is clearly brought out. But I need not tell you these things; read for yourself: "My dear Mr. Matthews," she begins, which isn't a bad start at all. "I have been reading your column for several months and the more I read the more I despise you. I have never met you personally and feel certain that if I never have the pleasure that will be too soon, and to judge from your writings you won't lose much sleep over this. You're just that kind, snobby. "All of your articles are making fun of people, finding fault with Washingtonians, who were getting along just as well before you came with your smart click self and started looking for our short comings. If Washington is so distasteful to you and Washington people are as unhospitable as you try to pretend why don't you leave and go someplace else? I am sure that I, for one, will have no regrets. Want me to tell you why you don't leave? It's because you like Washington. It's the best city you have ever been in, but you find fault because you think it makes you look smart. You think you're clever, that's why I don't like you—Gwynnever Marshall." Why, Gwyn! How could you? You apparently have no regard for the temperamental nature of a columnist at all. You have utterly spoiled my whole week. Your ruthlessness has completely robbed me of my inspiration. I was inspired, Gwyn, by the admittedly groundless assumption that most of my readers liked me. Now here you come along and tell me in black and white (my mistake, Gwyn, I mean blue and pink—you have nice taste in stationery, even though your manners are dreadful) that you don't give shuces for me. And you are sadly mistaken when you say that I won't lose any sleep over this matter. Indeed I have. I have been to work on time ever since receiving your letter. Somehow that extra half hour sleep I used to get isn't at all inviting anymore. I am out before 10 o'clock of a mornings now. It has even effected my appetite. It seems like I am hungry enough when I enter a restaurant but when I look at the food and think of your letter I don't order half as much as I might. Of course, the prices on the food has a lot to do with this, but your letter helps. While you come heroically to the defense of your native city, Gwyn, you unwittingly reveal that you have not the best interest of your community at heart when you suggest that I leave. For your enlightenment, Gwen, I will enumerate a few of the improvements that have been brought about, since I graced your city with my presence: There was considerable criticism throughout the country concerning the policies of the President, Mr. Coolidge. Upon my arrival here in September I found that Washington itself was tired of the man who was then occupying the White House, and they wanted him to vacate. I took up this fight, and while my efforts did not meet with immediate success, I am now assured of victory. I can now definitely state that Mr. Coolidge will not be in the White House after March the fourth. While I do not wish to hog all of the credit for this accomplishment, I do say that I did not illicit the aid of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Then there is the new Garnet Patterson Junior High School. It is one of the most pretentious and modernly equipped institutions for the training of the young in the city. While I confess that I had very little to do with its erection the fact remains that you did not have it until I got here. I could go on indefinitely pointing out improvements that range from the erection of traffic lights on Florida avenue to the raiding of numbers bookies, but why burden you with political matters which, being a girl, you would not understand anyway? Gwen, I'm sorry you don't like me. Even though you have been exceptionally rude I cannot refrain from asking one question. If you hate me as much as you claim, why did you put your address at the bottom and am I to assume that you put your telephone number there for me to call you un if I got real.

THE COWARD By Laura Jean Murray They called him a coward—this poor young man, Because he took his life; They had never known, nor had tried to know His suffering and strife, They had never known, nor had tried to know Of his soul's dark despair. They had never heard, nor had cared to hear The sorrows that were there. His struggles against life's great erring ways Were of the greatest worth— But no one spoke of the straight narrow path He followed here on earth. Yet they called him "coward" be- cause of this And then erased his name From the lip of man and from earthly scrolls Of those in life's short game. But his name's on the greatest scroll of life.

THE JUNIOR RED CROSS WORKERS By Caroline Howell (12) About fifteen or sixteen years ago there lived a little girl and boy whose names were Novella and Jerome. Their parents had just enough money to send them to school. One day a Red Cross nurse came to their school and talked to them about the Junior Red Cross and how such an organization could help others by doing kind deeds, such as making things in the carpentry shop, and sending them to those who could not help themselves. That evening when Novella and Jerome went home they told their parents about the Red Cross work, and they thought it was a good idea. Jerome made crutches and Novella made a dress. When the nurse came around the children gave her the dress and crutches. These children made many things for the Red Cross in the years following, and soon rose to high offices in the Red Cross Club. Although poor, they enjoyed doing for those who were poorer than they were. TO A BIRD Sing on, little birdie, In the treetops high; Trouble, worry you know not They will pass you by You are happy in your home With your simple life; You know not our care and sorrow, Or our joy and strife.

Emerson E. Parker, let us have some more word golf puzzles. If you are in your sixteenth year, you are not too old to write to the Kiddies' Korner.

UNFAIR LEVYING Oklahoma's two-mill levy for colored schools is working a hardship for these schools in that state. The white schools have a 15-mill while colored schools have a 2-mill levy. This is southern justice for you. Are You Run Down, Weak, Nervous? To have plenty of firm flesh and the ability to do a big day's work and feel "like a two-year old" at night, you must eat three good meals a day, relish your food and properly digest it. If you can't eat, can't sleep, can't work, just take a teaspoonful of Tanlac beverage meals. Mr. J. Kundert, of 821-27th St. Support News, Va., says: "Every time I ate disagreed with me and my weight kept going down. Within a month after starting Tanlac my stomach seemed like new! I gained all lost weight and energy and got rid of indigestion." Tanlac is wonderful for indiigation and constipation—gas, pain, nausea, dizziness and headaches. I brings back lost appetite, help you digest your food, and gain strength and weight. It contains no mineral drugs; it is made of roots, barks and herbs, nature's own medicines for the sick. The cost is less than 2 cents a dose. Get a bottle from your druggist. Your money back if it doesn't help.

He was rather bitter because of the proposed school and said: "We have a white settlement. Our subdivision is strictly restricted against colored people. To place that school in that section will not only reduce the value of our property, but it will reduce the value of every one of the houses in the subdivision and make that in the nature of a colored center. Branded as Injustice "The injustice of it, and the outrageous feature in connection with it, if you will pardon the use of the word, is this: If that school is put there, the District will be placing in a white settlement a colored school. There is nothing any worse unless it is selling a colored person a house on the street on which you live, or any of the rest of us. There is no justification for it. "I do not think I am going too far when I say no person, you, or any of these gentlemen, wants to live in a section next to a colored home. That is exactly the situation." Residents Plan Fight There is one more chance to secure the building of the health school, the Lovejoy addition and the Lincoln-Giddings item, and that will be before the Senate Committee hearings when the appropriation bill reaches that body. The Negroes of the District have become greatly angered and a number of civic organization are planning to protest when the hearings are held by the Senate Committee. announces the removal of his dental offices from 1937 Fourteenth Street, N.W. to 2014 Fourteenth Street, N.W.
