Henry Long, 33, of 2238 Eleventh street, northwest, who up to the time of his death was the man's best friend, is being held by police of the No. 2 precinct for murder. Bad liquor is to blame. Cunningham, according to police, imbibed too freely of intoxicants on the day of the tragedy and ear. Friday afternoon is said to have developed an ugly temper. He went to the home of Long, who with his wife kept Cunningham's two children for him, and there created a disturbance. Efforts to calm him were futile when he threatened Long's life with a revolver. He was quieted and put out, but went around to the rear of the house and forced his way in, still making his avowals that he would kill Long. The latter, a temperate, homeloving man, according to the police, grappled with the man and obtained possession of the weapon. He shot Cunningham twice, the bullets taking effect in his lungs. The wounded man died in the Emergency Hospital the following day. Long has for more than ten years been employed in the annex of the treasury department, police said, and has never been in trouble before in his life. He will enter a plea of self defense, when arraigned on a charge of murder. HOWARD ON GRIDDLE AGAIN Republican Committeeman Quizzed Concerning Deposits Here Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and suspended special assistant to the Attorney General, denied Monday that there any irregularities in his bank accounts tending to show that he had engaged in the barter of Federal patronage. Records showing that Mr. Howard had deposited $31,000 more than his salary in two banks here between January 11, 1926, and July 1, 1928, were presented January 30, to the sub-committee of the Senate committee on post offices and post roads, which has been investigating the alleged barter of Federal patronage in southern states. Facts Known Mr. Howard stated that there was nothing new in the evidence given to the Senate committee. The government had these records in the United States court at Jackson, Mississippi, when he and four other defendants were tried and acquitted on a charge of conspiracy in connection with the alleged sale of the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi, he said. Branded as Persecution He attributed the presentation of these records to the Senate committee to a further effort at political persecution by the same people who were responsible for his indictment. Not Much Money "Any lawyer of any standing," said Mr. Howard, "will pass through his bank accounts in due course of business in a period of a year or eighteen months an amount far in excess of $81,000. The effort to make it appear that I am culpable because of the sum of money handled by me seems only to be an indication of the surprise of certain people that a colored person should have any business or handle a large sum of money." Pullman Company Involved Four thousand dollars of the (Continued on page 2) 35 SANOY WHEN BETTER MOVIES ARE MADE Miss Theresa Jentry, of New York, will appear in them. She, a winner of the final Savoy bathing beauty contest held last summer at the Savoy ballroom in the nation's metropolis, is to get a chance in one of the "talkie" films starring Negro actors, according to reports. Miss Jentry won the Savoy contest from a field of twenty-seven Chased Armed Man Who Tried to Shoot Him, Claim Court, However, Doubts Prowess of James Herndon and Frees Accused A man with a revolver in his pocket would hardly let another chase him for several blocks hurling bricks at him without making some attempt to use it, according to the opinion of Judge McMahon, who dismissed charges against Ralph Riley, in police court, Tuesday. Riley was arraigned on charges preferred by James Herndon, of 2212 Champlain street, who declared that the latter threatened his life when he refused to let him search his home to find his wife. Riley, who is a native of Sterling, Va., declared that he came to the city, Sunday, to find his wife, Elizabeth Riley, and found she was at Herndon's home. Herndon became abusive when he inquired about her and chased him for several blocks. Bricks thrown by Herndon broke the wind shield of the car in which Riley was riding. He denied that he had drawn a revolver on Herndon. Judge McMahon dismissed the charges.

Engine Company No. 6 responded and quenched the flames before serious damage was done. The property is supervised by the Mortimer Harris Realty Company. ST. LOUIS GRADUATES 128 ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The Summer High School graduated 85, Vashon High 30, and Sumner Teacher's College 13, making a total of 128 of high school and teacher college graduates for the mid-term graduation. Love Has N Love is far from being dead in Washington if the statements of the proprietors of gift and card shops can be taken as authentic. With Valentine day rapidly approaching cards conveying words of love and endearment are much in demand. The bug of sentimentality is no respecter of persons, and bites the old and young alike according to Mrs. Gertrude Johnson, proprietor of Gertrude's Gift Shop, who says not all of her customers who pour --- Court Rules That Neighborhood Covenants to Bar Negroes are Valid The decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia upholding the validity of covenants to prevent the ownership or occupancy of property by colored persons does not dispose of the questions raised in the two cases will be carried to the Supreme Court in the United States for final determination. "The decision does not in any sense touch upon any of the points that were attempted to be urged by way of distinction from the cases which were formerly before the Court of Appeals," said Attorney George E. C. Hayes, of counsel for the appellants. Points Not Decided He commented on the fact that in arguing the cases before the Court of Appeals, Louis Marshall, of New York, who was retained by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, pointed out that the questions of such covenants being a restraint on alienation, a restraint on trade and contrary to the public policy of the United States had not properly been before the court in previous cases and were not passed upon by the Supreme Court of the United States when it failed to take jurisdiction in the Curtis case. Counsel for appellants expressed the belief that the Supreme Court will allow a writ of certiorari and pass upon these points and reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeals. Must Vacate In its decision Monday, the Court of Appeals followed its former decisions in segregation covenant cases and upheld judgments of the District Supreme Court restraining colored persons from owning or occupying property which they had bought and ordering them to vacate the premises. The suits were based on agreements between white property owners, providing that no part of their property shall be used, occupied by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented or given to colored persons. Two Make Appeal The appellants in one of the cases was Henry A. Cornish and his wife, Mrs. Alyce N. Cornish. They purchased No. 2328 First street, northwest, but the District Supreme Court set aside the sale and ordered them to vacate the premises. The appellants in the other case purchased No. 77 Randolph place, northwest, but the District Supreme Court declared the sale null and void and ordered them also to vacate the premises. over her assortment of Valentines looking for the prettiest verses are boys and girls of the puppy-love stage. She attributes much of this to the fact that in her attractively decorated window there is a large heart which reads, "Is your wife still your sweetheart?" Many men who in their mad rush to secure a livelihood have neglected the sentimental side of their married lives are suddenly awakened to the fact and consequently seek to renew this old relationship with a card. Dead men may tell no tales, but they can be used to pass bad checks, E. W. Bundy, local undertaker, learned when he was tricked out of $15 by Merrill C. Lucas, through fake funeral arrangements, last week. NATIONAL IN CONTROL OF WHITELAW Rutherfords Take Over Hotel Apartments, Stockholders Lose Interests Control of the Whitelaw Hotel is now in the hands of R. H. Rutherford, S. W. Rutherford, and Mortimer M. Smith, officers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, it was learned Monday. The Rutherfords and Mr. Smith financed the purchase of the hotel by R. W. Robinson, the manager, and under an agreement they will control the property and supervise its income with a view to the liquidation of the indebtedness on the property. Stockholders Out The interests of the stockholders have been wiped out. The property was sold at public auction, November 13. Mr. Robinson's bid of $134,650 was accepted. But the stockholders may redeem the property within the next ten years if they are able to pay off its indebtedness. Six Mortgages There were six mortgages on the property. The purchase price of $134,650 covered only the first and second and a part of the third (Continued on page 2) Children Like Funnies Miss Anna Ruby, clerk in the Pandora Shop, operated by Mrs. Lillian Alexander, is of the same opinion that love is still existent. Sweetheart cards still lead in sales there also. Humorous and satirical Valentines are still popular among the children who attend the Garnett-Patterson School in close proximity of the shop and it is expected that many a teacher will be surprised on Valentine day with a AN OLD CON GAME USED ON MANY Man Given Year in Jail and Also Faces Forgery Charges One of the cleverest confidence game schemes to be brought to the attention of local police authorities for sometime was revealed when Morrill C. Lucas, 25, 1402 First street, was arraigned in police court, Tuesday. Three undertakers were swindled by Lucas out of sums of money varying from $15 to $20. They were, Joseph I. Bailey, 227 K street, northwest; Lafrith Harris, 424 R street, northwest, and Edward Bundy, 649 Florida avenue, northwest. Used Two Schemes According to the story told by the undertakers Lucas employed two methods to obtain money from them. One was to inform the undertaker that his sister was dead in New York, and he was bringing the body here for burial. He would draw a check more than covering the cost of their services and would ask that the change be turned over to him. This often amounted to $15 or $20. The undertakers would generally cash the check, they admitted, and turn the extra amount over to Lucas. Another scheme was that he would find out from actual customers of the undertakers how much the balance due them was on a certain funeral. He would pretend that he was a relative of the deceased and wanted to clear up the indebtedness. He would then write a check covering this amount plus an additional $20, which was turned over to him in cash, with a receipt for the bill. Duped Others So successful was Lucas with his manipulations that he refused to confine his activities strictly to undertakers, but branched out into the tailoring and housefurnishing business. He included in his list of victims tailors, lunchroom operators and furniture houses. He faced five charges of passing worthless checks and two of forgery. In each of the former charges he was sentenced to 90 days and held for the action of the grand jury on the latter two. The total takings of Lucas by his scheme are estimated at $225.

College Students Flop Hard Maxwell's book store, the clientele of which is composed largely of Howard University students, finds that the pursuit of higher learning is no wise interference with the emotions and co-eds and college boys are just as ardent followers of cupid as those without. It is thought, however, that girls fall harder for sentimentality than boys. than boys. MUSICIAN SENDS BULLET THRU HEART AFTER SPAT UNREQUITED LOVE took another toll Tuesday when 19-year-old David Eglin sent a bullet into his heart in his parked auto near the Howard University Resevoir a few minutes after phoning his wife informing her of his intentions to end it all. The District of Columbia appropriations bill as reported to the Senate, Tuesday, leaves out the amount of $175,000 recommended by the Bureau of the Budget, for the 8-room addition to the Lovejoy School and disregards the purchased site on Blandenburg road for the Health School. In lieu of this seven acre tract, the bill provides "For the purchase of a site on which to locate a new junior high school building, a new platoon school building, and a colored health school and sanatorium in northeast Washington." The protests of the white real estate promoters were successful in defeating the erection of the health school, for which $150,000 was appropriated, on the seven-acre tract purchased last summer for that purpose. Proviso Struck Out The Senate Committee struck out the proviso as coming from the House, regarding the use of Man Falls In Hard Luck All the hard luck in the world was trailing the heels of Elliott Dallas Ratley, 1707 Fourteenth street, when he attempted to steal a pint of milk early Monday morning from the front steps of King Code, 2825 Florida avenue. Not only was Ratley caught, but during the chase he dropped the bottle and consequently faced an additional charge of breaking glass in the middle of the street. He was committed for the action of the grand jury in both cases.

The mother was bitter in her denunciations of the girl. Member of Orchestra Eglin, who is well known here as a member of the Eglin Brothers' Orchestra, a popular organization remained, in bed until a late hour on the day of the tragedy, arising about 4 p.m. he left the house and rode around in his auto. About dusk he called his home telling of his intentions. His brother Rudolph commandeered another car and went in search of his younger brother. The search ended near the reservoir when the youth was found crumbled in the machine with his feet still on the brake. The revolver contained an empty steel cartridge. It had been pressed against his heart and but a small plot of blood was seen on his shirt as silent evidence of the bullet's penetration. His infant child was two months old on the day of the suicide. ONE HELD, TWO FREED ON MURDER CHARGES BY THE GRAND JURY Second-degree murder was charged in an indictment against William C. Fleet, who was accused of striking Frederick J. Smith with a brick on July 25, at 1530 Thirty-third street, northwest, and causing his death. Charles L. Bell, inmate of St. Elizabeths Hospital for the Insane, was held not responsible for the death of Charles Stokes, colored, a fellow inmate. Roselle B. Thomas was exonerated in connection with the death of Catherine Payne, who was struck and fatally injured by an automobile driven by the Thomas woman on August 20. ASSAULTED BY BROTHER-IN-LAW During an altercation in her home, Saturday night, Mrs. Josephine Peyton, 40, 2122 Eleventh street, northwest, was assaulted by her brother-in-law, William Swope, of the same address. She was conveyed to the Garfield Hospital for treatment. Negroes Get Small Part Of Educational Fund The percentage of Federal funds expended in vocational agricultural schools for Negroes in 1927 ranged from seven-tenths per cent in Missouri to 26.6 per cent in Louisiana, while the percentage of Negro rural population according to the 1920 census ran from 2.4 per cent in Missouri to 54 per cent in Mississippi, according to a table showing the percentage of Federal money expended for salaries of teachers of vocational agriculture in colored schools put into the Congressional Record Monday by Representative Daniel A. Reed, Republican, of New York. What's Become of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees? TWO Wane of Group Started In 1924 Now Almost Inactive With A. Phillip Randolph turning heaven and earth upside down to solve the problems of the Pullman porters, old Washingtonians are asking what has become of the Brotherhood of Railroad Dining Car Employees that was but a few years ago a flourishing organization here? The Brotherhood up until a few years ago was such a pretentious and respected organization that officials of the leading railroads required that all employees affiliate themselves with this group when they were taken into the service. The Brotherhood was first formed here by the employees of the Seaboard Airline in 1919. And was later expanded to include the employees of the Atlantic Coast Line, the Baltimore and Ohio, the Southern Norfolk and Western, and the Pennsylvania. Reinza B. Lemus acted in the capacity of executive secretary and many notable victories were won for the employees under his guidance. Locals were established in all of the principal cities. Differences Distinct There is a pronounced distinction between the dining car men and the Pullman Porters. This was perhaps due to the fact that the porters are employed by the Pullman Company and the dining car waiters by the railroad itself. The old feuds that exist between different types of domestic employees in the hotels and resorts are equally pronounced on the railroads. Cooks and waiters and porters associate to a large degree with men of their own group. Porters are forced to buy their own meals while traveling while the waiters get their meals free. The type of food the waiters get, however, is dependent largely upon the disposition of the chef. Some cooks harbor ill feeling against the waiters and their fare is good or bad as he sees fit. The Seaboard Air Line provides that the Pullman Porters be given a cup of coffee, a hot roll and butter at 8:45 each morning free of charge. All other meals must be purchased at half price. This is not the practice on all roads. The Brotherhood of Dining Car employees, which included waiters, cooks and helpers has been at the vane here since 1924 and at the present time is almost inactive. HOWARD ON GRIDDLE AGAIN (Continued from page 1) money deposited by Mr. Howard in his bank accounts came from the Pullman Co., Miller E. McGilchrist, a special assistant to the Attorney General, who assisted in the prosecution of Mr. Howard in Mississippi, testified before the Senate Committee. This sum was a fee paid him for services in connection with trouble the company was having in combating efforts to organize a Pullman porters' union. Denies Charge Mr. Howard denied the charge made by Mr. McGilchrist that a check of $500 had been given him by Mrs. C. A. Whittington on the day he recommended her appointment as acting postmaster at Tutwiler, Mississippi. Mr. Howard stated that her husband had paid him the sum of $500 for a sixth interest in an equity in a building on Pennsylvania avenue, the deed to which is of record in the office of the Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia and was exhibited in court at the trial in Jackson. May Be Called Attorney General John G. Sargent and Mr. Howard will probably be called to testify before the Senate committee at a later date, Senator Smith W. Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, chairman of the subcommittee stated. Risher Involved The Senate committee was also told that John T. Risher, who has an office at 1216 Pennsylvania avenue, in the suite of rooms with Mr. Howard, handled $14,000 in his bank accounts. Protection: Alleged The committee was also told that R. B. Creager, the Republican national committeeman for Texas, had protected hotels in that state from raids by prohibition agents and that Federal officers had been sold in that state. MAINS UNHURT HOUSTON, Tex.—Andrew Pace, 26, was hit by a passenger train and carried 150 yards before stopping. Pace was walking on the tracks towards the business centre, when struck by an S. P. fast train. As the train stopped the crew rushed to the engine. "Coat caught on a bolt" explained Pace as he stepped down from the cowcatcher. "Where are you hurt?" asked the conductor. Pace felt himself over, smiling answered, "Ain't hurt nowhere, that's pretty good ain't it?" He refused ambulance aid and when examined only a small scratch was found on his forehead. COLORED MAN IS MAYOR IN OHIO FOR FIRST TIME MILES HEIGHTS, Ohio.—Arthur H. Johnson, on February 2, took the oath of office as mayor of this city. He is the first Negro to be the mayor of a municipality in Ohio. As president of the council he automatically became mayor in the sudden death of Mayor Dennis H. Von Benken a week ago, but delayed taking office until Saturday. The population of Miles Heights is about 4,700, the larger part of which is white. Mayor Johnson received a large vote from white people when he was elected to the council and has been one of the most popular members. Three Are Accused On Operation Charge Edna Gray, of Rhode Island avenue, was held Wednesday in bond of $10,000 by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage for a hearing, Friday, on the charge of performing an illegal operation on Hazel Hardy, of Clarendon, Va., November 16, 1928. Earl Hardy, who is a cousin of Hazel, and charged with aiding the alleged offense, was committed to jail in default of $2,500 bond for hearing. Mrs. Mabel Leonard, of Fairmont street, who was charged with aiding and abetting the alleged crime, was released on bond of $500 for hearing. The three accused pleaded not guilty. The complaint on which the three were arrested was sworn by Mae Jacobs, a social worker of Clarendon, where Miss Hazel is reported dangerously ill at the home of her parents. MORE LOVEJOY SCHOOL (Continued from page 1) the old white high school for a colored elementary school. Dunbar is given $75,000 to complete the athletic field facilities. The bill also provides for the purchase of land adjoining the Stevens and Banneker Schools, but left off the item for Giddings School. An additional appropriation of $34,000 was made for employment of additional teachers some of whom will be in the 10th to 13th divisions. Practically all the requests made by the colored citizens who appeared before the sub-committee last week were ignored. They asked for an addition to Lovejoy, the erection of the health school on the site purchased for it, and an addition to Giddings. Neither request was granted. No Damage at Vermont Avenue Baptist Church The published report that the large crowd which attended the funeral of Mrs. Lottie A. Willbanks taxed the capacity of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church to such an extent that its walls were cracked and the building as a result was found to be unsafe by a building inspector was branded as "absolutely and utterly false" by church officers. No building inspector or other District official has visited the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church recently, they say, there being no occasion for his doing so. There was no damage to justify this report, they say. The church is in a fine and safe condition, they state, having recently been remodeled at a cost of more than $90,000. The truth is, they say, that the officials of the church discovered a small piece of metal ceiling in the upper auditorium unjointed. They ordered it repaired. Services were held in the lower auditorium. After the repair was made, services were again held upstairs. The order to repair was given before the funeral of Mrs. Willbanks. MORE WHITELAW HOTEL MORE WHITELAW HOTEL (Continued from page 1) trusts and left nothing to be applied to the remaining three trusts and other debts amounting approximately to $50,000. The hotel will be run as previously, that is, as a hotel and apartment house combined. The Rutherfords and Mr. Smith, however, reserve the right to change the character of occupancy, if in their opinion it is necessary to safe guard the interests of all concerned. The transaction was handled by John T. Risher and Daniel M. Gary. The Whitelaw Hotel was built by the late John W. Lewis. It was opened July 20, 1919. Elderly Man Auto Victim Alonzo Green, who gives his age as 68, of 1641 V street, northwest, was struck by an automobile when he was in the act of crossing the street at Seventeenth and V streets Sunday. The automobile was owned by Frank E. Cole, of 1804 Columbia road, northwest. Green received a compound fracture of the hand and injuries of the right leg. H. U. STUDENTS HONOR MARY- LANDER Sun Dial Given to University as Memorial to Benjamin Banneker The Lampodas Club, consisting of pledgees to the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity of Howard University, presented a memorial to Benjamin Banneker, last Friday. The memorial consisted of a sun dial of granite and bronze, the design having been executed by Ralph Vaughn, under the direction of Mr. Albert I. Cassell, University architect. Impressive exercises were held in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, at which time Leroy Clay spoke on the Life of Benajinnij Banneker. In his address, he pointed out the fact that Banneker was a free Negro who lived during the eighteenth century, in the state of Maryland, near Baltimore; that he was appointed by President George Washington to aid Major L'Enfant to plan the layout of the District of Columbia. L'Enfant died before the work was completed, which required Banneker to carry on in his stead. It was also noted that Banneker made the first clock in America, which was constructed of all American materials, and published an almanac which set forth his brilliant abilities as an astronomer and mathematician. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Lillian Mitchell and Lester Dorsey. Following the exercises in the Chapel, the audience was requested to assemble for the unveiling of the memorial in the oval of the university campus. Called Princely Gift Stewart Gee, president of the club, made the address of presentation. He stated, "To honor all laudable tasks fulfilled by our ancestors in science and the finer arts which have given us a dynamic place in American civilization we present this humble expression of our sincerest appreciation. May we and posterity benefit by the creative heritage of our forefathers." Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer and custodian of university property, accepted the presentation on behalf of the board of trustees. Dr. Scott spoke of the presentation as one of the most princely gifts which the University has ever received. The plan was conceived by Leroy Clay, of Baltimore, and was made possible by donations, solely of The Lampodas Club.

Hopkins NEW YORK (Special to the Tribune) — DuBose -Heyward, a white a sorter, has written a clever novel, "Mambra's Daughters." The story deals with an old Negro mother, of the underworld type, who schemes for the advancement of her daughter and granddaughter, Hagar and Lissa. Mambra, as she is called, is clever, scheming, and persevering. Besides these three Negro women much of the novel deals with the Wentworths, a family of "quality white folks" of Charleston, S. C., who have seen pretty shaggy times since the Civil War. This family of whites are struggle to keep in the social swim of their town. Saint Wentworth and his sister Polly are very vivid characters. Mambra Schemes Mambra forces herself into the well wishes of the Wentworths, and when certain circumstances arise, she uses them to good advantage to gain her own ends. The story moves from Charleston to the phosphate mines, where Saint Wentworth works in a company store. Hagar gets into trouble in Charleston, is arrested, and gets a suspended jail sentence, providing she leaves the city. She, Mamba, and Lissa go to the phosphate fields and live among the Negroes there who break the phosphate rock. This part of the novel is educational, as it gives a good description of the work in a phosphate mine. Other characters come and go throughout the novel. Rev. Grayson, an intellectual minister, and Rev. Whaley, an ignorant ranter portray two very distinct types of Negro presachers. The book is published by Double- day, Doran & Co., selling for $2.50. Lissa Sings Opera The story ends with Lissa reaching a climax by singing in the new Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Du Bose Heyward is the author of "Porgy" but his "Mamba's Daughters" is bigger, in the sense of tolerance, than is "Porgy". Of course there is much to be said for and against this book by Negro readers, but here I have only attempted to give an outline of what I consider a well told tale of very much alive characters. This novel may incite some of our able Negro writers to reveal for novel readers' entertainment some of the clandestine intrigues of slave owners' wives and Negro men house servants. These conditions did exist during the days of slavery, as any Negro can tell who has heard intimate tales of plantation life as told by ex-Negro slaves. TO ORGANIZE LODGE HERE I. L.

INSURANCE MANAGERS ELECT OFFICERS At the regular business meeting of the Insurance Managers Association, held January 24, officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: William Tecumseh Bradshaw, National Benefit Life Insurance Company, president; Charles H. Fearing, North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, vice-president; William Stevenson, Supreme Life and Casualty Insurance Company, was re-elected secretary, and treasurer. This association was organized through the efforts of the late J. Percy Bond, who was looked upon as the dean of the insurance men of the District of Columbia. At the regular weekly meeting of the association, held January 31, at the Wage Earners' Building, the new officers were installed by Mr. B. V. Lawson, who, in well chosen language appealed to the officers to carry on in the work and to keep in mind the purpose and the ideal of the association so often expressed by the late president. Through the leadership of the newly elected president, a constructive program is promised. PHYSICIANS HELD FOR COURT ON CHARGES The five physicians who were cited last week by prohibition authorities for making false prescriptions for liquor were held by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Monday, for the action of the police court. The defendants, all of whom were represented by Attorney John H. Wilson, were: Drs. Isiah B. Horn, Pinyon Cornish, William A. Goodloe, J. R. Conte Cook, and Samuel L. Starke. All was liberated in $500 bail. Roland L. Burroughs, prohibition agent, testified that he called on each of the physicians and asked for a prescription to liven up a card game he was having at his home.

RACE ATTORNEY COMMENTED ON BRIEF IN CASE Louis R. Mehlinger, an attorney in the Department of Justice, was complimented in an opinion handed down by the Court of Claims last Monday for his brief in a case brought by the Luckenback Steamship Company against the United States. The court in its opinion said: "Defendant's very comprehensive and able brief refers in detail to the various pertinent acts of Congress, the treaty with Panama relating to the Canal Zone, and the executive orders of the President relating thereto, and gives the court a very clear elucidation thereof, of which we are glad to make copious use." The suit was for the recovery of the sum of $30,370 which the steamship company claimed was the difference between the amount certified by the Postmaster General for transportation of mail between United States ports and the Canal Zone between December 1925, and June, 1926, and the amount allowed and paid by the General Accounting Office for these services. The case was decided on the question of whether the Panama Canal Zone is territory of the United States, the rate paid the steamship company being that applicable to ocean transit of mail between the United States and its possessions. The court dismissed the claim, agreeing with Mr. Mehlinger that the ports within the Panama Canal Zone are not foreign. was making whiskey when the sheriff entered his home, but he went free in Perquiman's Recorder Court here today when charged with the act.

The indignation of the students was provoked when Miss Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women, suspended Miss Margaret E. Hueston and summarily sent her home to her parents, Judge and Mrs. William C. Hueston, of Gary, Indiana, Dean Slowe suspended Miss Hueston at 10:80 on the morning of January 80, At 8:10 that afternoon she was on the Liberty Limited, the grack train of the Pennsylvania Railroad between here and Chice- go, bound for her home. Campus Kiss. The only offense that Miss Hues- ton had committed was that she had kissed Louis T. Sonton 1 for- ward on the Howard University basketball team, good bye shortly before the team left for Hampton Institute on January 25. The in- cident occurred on the campus in front of the gymnasium, Miss Maryrose Reeves-Allen, an assistant professor in ates edu- cation, saw Miss Hueston and Coates kiss, She reported the met- ter to Dean Slowe and is said to have remarked to one of her class- es that she was going to do all she could to see that the girl was sent home.

TOLSON, JR. 1702 13th St.,N.W. Phone, North 9674 Authorised BRAKE SERVICE MUSIC DRAMA CORA GREEN PREFERS STAR OF "EBONY SHOW BOAT" HAS UN CORA GREEN PREFERS HOUSEKEEPING TO THEATRES HAS UNUSUAL CAREER self. Miss Green tried Ivin Millle's "Put and Take" and Cremon and Layton's "Strut Miss Lizzie." Then she teamed with Hamtree Harrington and for five years was the sensation of Broadway and Europe. Miss Green has been resting for five months and the "Ebony Showboat," which opened Monday at the Lafayette Theatre, is her first appearance this season. She will sing, dance and for the first time offer her admirers a dramatic monologue. The real Cora Green is a difficult person about whom to write. Not because she is difficult to approach—she is anything but that—but because she is so unaffected, sincere and genuine, and so reserved. What a conservative lady! Instead of the yellows and red that cry for skin so fine, smooth and brown as hers, she was dressed in black—black satin gown, black silk hose, black flat-heeled shoes with only a white befflowered scarf for relief. Her brown hair was parted on the side and rolled in a simple knot at the naps of her neck. Her only jewels were a pair of antique gold earrings, the kind out grand mothers used to wear. She apparently wanted to talk about everybody except herself. "Ebony Showboat," she is sure, will be a hit! She does not think of it as a Broadway production, but has a presentation act for cinema houses. No, she never goes near the theatre; she prefers to cook and keep house. The attitude of the chorus girls towards her is perhaps the best indication of her character. At the close of the rehearsal they all came fluttering around her. It was Miss Green this and Miss Green that. They wanted her help, her praise, the warmth of her sympathy and her understanding. And while they worked, she would occasionally whisper a suggestion or call attention to a poorly performed bit, but always with a smile and in a manner that would be least offensive. "Hearts of Dixie," the Fox all-colored production will be released February 24. It was recently completed and is waiting for the observation of the Fox executives to decide whether it will go into an advanced priced house or be sent out as a program entertainment.

"Ebony Show," headed by Cora Greene which was scheduled to play at the Howard Theatre next week was cancelled following a disagreement among the principals in Philadelphia. Tuesday. By Geraldine Dismond (Special to The Tribune) No matter how many celebrities I number among my acquaintances, I always experience a thrill with the prospect of meeting a new one. So, for days I had been glowing over the fact that on a certain Friday I was to be presented to Cora Green. Relying upon the truthfulness of what I had read and learned of stars and their temperaments, my heart felt when the Friday came, dreary and unpropitious—the sort of day that would ruffle the calmest of spirits. With not so high hopes, therefore, I trudged around to Coach- man's Hall where Earl Dancer was preparing Cora Green for her latest vehicle, "Ebony Showboat." The usual rehearsal hall scene greeted me-girls in work suits, boys in shirt sleeves, the inevitable audience of musicians, extras and pressmen. While I stood a trifle confused and disconcerted, up came a smiling little brown lady on the arm of Earl Dancer and voila, I had met Cora Green. Was With Flo Mills We sat in a corner and proceeded to get acquainted. Rather, I got an atmosphere and background for all the information that for years I had been collecting about Cora Green. The first time I had seen her across the footlights was in Chicago when she, Florence Mills and Ada "Bricktop" Smith left the Panama Cafe to do vaudeville as the Panama Trio. I sat in the first night audience at the Grand Theatre, as near the first row as I could get, and lost my heart to the charming three. I became a Green fan and my information collecting began. Baltimore Girl I learned that she was a native of Baltimore and had started her stage career at the age of fourteen; that she was born with a gorgeous contralto voice and never had had any special training. Before she came to Chicago, she worked in musical tabs and with an act—Green, Pugh and Green. The Panama Trip was a vaudeville headliner for three years, after which each member struck out for her- ALL-COLORED FILM RELEASED THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

The profession is all up in the air as to who will do the part of Jules Bledsoe, whose rendition of that popular song hit, "Ole Man River." has more than pleased the patrons of the Ziegfeld Theatre. It will also mean work for more than forty colored performers whose dancing and spirituals are the outstanding parts of "Show Boat."

They sailed in December and presented their act which made a big act, at a salary of $1,000 a week. Because the act was so well received by London theatre patrons, they were asked to extend their contract. They immediately asked that their salary be placed at $2,000 a week, a figure which was refused. They are trying to come to some agreement with their agent now. Moss and Frye were booked through the William Morris office. Joan Crawford, Nils Asther In "Dream of Love" at The Republic The screen's newest lovers, Joan Crawford and Nils Asther in their latest sensation love drama, "Dream of Love," will be the feature attraction at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, February 9, 10, 11 and 12.

"WINGS" TO BE SHOWN AT THE LINCOLN "Wings' will be shown at the Lincoln Theatre, February 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. Musical accompaniment of heart-stirring beauty forms the background for realistic sound effects. The spirit of the music is carefully tempered to keep pace with the changing tempo of the picture. The sound effects elicited a wealth of praise from newspaper critics wherever the picture has played. The care which Director William A. Wellman exercised in the production made of "Wings" a thrilling story of war in the air. Falling airplanes really fall in "Wings" in picture and sound. Machine guns blaze away and those who see them can also hear them. A band marches by and the music swells from the screen. The tramp of a thousand feet is measured in the regulated response from the sound reproducers. Owing to the great length of "Wings" the usual Vitaphone and Movietone acts will have to be eliminated. In order to get in the usual number of shows each day the management is forced to open doors daily at 1 p.m.; Sunday at 2 p.m. Prices for "Wings." Matinees daily (except Sunday) 1 to 6 p.m., 25 cents to all. Sunday, 2 to 4 p.m., 25 cents to all. Evenings after 6 and Sunday after 4 children (under 12) 25 cents; adults 25 cents.

B APN eo Ucagn: New Yorks Low Angee igs ee + It is seldom we have the opportunity of comparing the views ant opinions of the governors of two states, widely separated, yet germaine to the same subject, affecting racial progress. : Education is the one subject in which all Negroes of these United States are interested, especially the privilege of every opportunity available for acquiring it. ; é <The Legislature of South Carolina passed a state-wide compulsory attendance bill, but Governor Richards vetoed this bill and made this Statement for doing so: “South Carolina has a condition that is pe- Culiarly het own, and while it is not necessary to discuss this phase bf the question, it should be evident to every one that this condition of féselt makes = state-wide compulsory law both impractical and in- “expedient.” e This is the opinion of one governor: “The condition that is pe- uliarly her own” in South Carolina is this: She is at the bottom of ye list of 48 states in educational value. ‘The census of South Caro- ‘ha gives 864,719 Negroes and 818,538 whites. The last report of “thool attendance shows 228,004 colored children and 248,272 white ‘hildren. ‘The “peculiar condition” here is there are more Negroes ban whites living in South Carolina, but less colored children than cchite enrolled in the schools. If the: gcvernor had signed the bill, making compulsory attendance a law, it would give the colored children © larger enrollment than the whites. As it is there are more school rouses for colored than for white. The report gives 2,379 colored schools and 1,356 white. Most of'the colored schools are of the one- teacher type. The average number of colored children enrolled to each school is 95, while there are 133 whites to each school. oe The Greenville Daily News asks this question: “Does the governor object to having those Negro children who are not now in the primary _ or grammar grades placed there? If so, why?” We would ask Governor Richards if he feels that he is serving thé best interests of his state by discouraging literacy among the majority of the population of his state? ‘Now comes the new governor of Missouri, Henry S. Caulfield, jnaugurated January 1. In his first message to the state legislature, he said: “Our Constitution and laws require the establishment, of separate schools for Negro children in Missouri, Putting into effect such @ requirement as this is in violation of the Constitutional rights of our Negro citizens, unless the facilities for education provided for them are equal to those provided for our white citizens, ‘The state has failed to provide this equality of facilities. This is unjust and un- constitutional. “Moreover, the law makes no provision for the establishment of schgols for Negro children in any school district where there are less than 15 colored children. There is no such limitation as to white children. There are at least 4,000 colored children in Missouri that have no school facilities whatever. “T recommend that provisions be made for giving all Negro chil- aren a gommon school education equal to that provided for white children.” ‘That is certainly a ray of sunshine breaking through the clouds piter listening to the statement ceming from the Governor of South avolina. yen in North Carolina we see a ray of light, A bill was recently inttodueed in the state legislature to provide an eight months school “for all the children of the state. About three-fourths of the schools now run eight months. This bill would make the minimum length, cight months, North Carolina already has a compulsory law. ‘Therefore, we may conclude that “the peculiar conditions” in South Carolina are ignorance and prejudice, which would prefer to remain at the bottom in educational standing of all the states of the Union than to do anything that would benefit the Negro. Governor Richards cannot Keep the Negroes down without remaining dow swith them, FLAMING YOUTH AT HOWARD ‘The unfortunate affair arising at Howard University last week, which resulted in a young woman being sent home and a young man tuspended, was apparently the culmination of a series of minor in- subordinations, “The flaming youth” spirit is and has been quite strong at Howard. Pampered children, flapper girls and floppish boys are too much in evidence at Howard. The situation has become almost unbearable. Dean Slowe has tried to curb the spirit in the girls, But Dean Slowe cannot undo, in a few weeks or months, what the parents have per- mitted to grow into their children for years. Howard Universiy is not 2 Reformatory, but a seat of education. While morality and common decency are taught it is not just to expect any university to reform young men and women nor to eliminate the foolish pampering of parents who permit misguided parental love to supplant their reason regarding the training of their children at home. ‘Discipline in a school must be maintained. “The flaming youth! spirit must be curbed at Howard if its decorum is to be maintained reputation upheld and its influence to continue beneficial; its service to the race to be far-reaching. Dean Slowe will doubtless be upheld by the trustees if the case is eppealed to them. The Student Council claims the punishment ‘was incommensurate with the offense, This is a question that can only be decided by a person or committee with all the facts before them. _, Whether this example will have its effect on the student body is tebe seen. However, the students should give it serious consideration and realize that the university exists for imparting educational information, and decorum must be maintained accordingly. ire: . = ‘& VITAL NEED FOR WASHINGTON = The 136,000 Negroes of Washington are in a terrible plight when it comes to legislation for or against them. ‘The recent experience with the appropriations Sub-Committees of the House and Senate bring out this fact in a humiliating light, It is evident that the large group of Negroes in this city are unorganized, lackadaisical in action, incoherent in expression with a woeful lack of interest in their economic, civic, educational, and commereial welfare. Therefore, the vital need of the 136,000 Negroes of Washington is a strong committee of citizens with courage and self-expression, ‘who ean really think, to watch the various bills proposed in Congress that, affect eur race in general and the group in Washington in particular, A few real estate promoters offered protests to two vital additionis to our school facilities here and were successful in defeating an appro- priation of $175,000 for an addition to a school on a site which has been used for school purposes 61 years, and now has a twenty-room building on it, with 967 children enrolled. The other, the erection of $150,000 building on a site purchased last summer for that purpose It is very evident that we ofttimes lose by default many nece. school and civic improvements. When will we awake to our needs here and avail ourselves of the remedy? TEN FORUM RACE NOT CHEATED BY ‘TREASURY DEPARTMENT Dear Editoré Permit me to correct what 1 consider an error of thought in your last week's paper of Janu- ary 25, of our race being cheated of a certain post. Do you not think in coming to conclusions there is a spiritual as well as 2 material point of view of this seeming race problem? I think in these seeming conditions we should weigh them evenly. Judging from outer appearances it may seem we have been unjust. ly dealt with, but we must get into the proper state of mind and ‘know there is a place for us to fill, and no one else can fill it, and there is a work for us to do, which no one else can do. And let us know that advancement in Jife does not come through luck, nor by chance, but by creation. Take for instance Congressman DePriest; was it luck or chance, of favor? No! and yea a thousand times no! He was appointed Con- gressman because it was his true destiny, and I feel sure that he re- alized it from the infinite intelli- gence which was within himself. It is all well enough for us to want our good Mr. Hawkins to fill | WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 8. 19 bégA DIPLOMAT or CAPITAL CES --——_—___ Saag A DIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL In spite of the ordeal that living in Washington is, I sincerely hope I will never be forced to die here. Dying of itself could hardly be more trying one place than another, but having a funeral here is another proposition altogether. Washingtonians may get sore with me for saying this, but honestly I think we make too much to do over funerals. There is too much excitement, pomp, hustle and bustle for any quiet, respectable corpse to enjoy himself, There have been four big funerals here in the past month, All except one consumed all day, and the rasping volees of the eulogists could be heard far after dark. So late do Washington funerals “ha forth that it is impossible to bury the departed on the same day, but the remains are placed in a vault overnight. 1 don’t think I'd like to be locked up in'a vault all night by myself It seems to me, and I may be wrong, that we Washingtonians seem to look upon a funeral as a sort of holiday occasion, When a person of any prominence passes ‘into the great beyond it is just like Fourth of July or Labor Day. Folks leave their work and take the day off and prepare to set through a twenty-four-hour siege as a bunch of preachers, who haven’t anything else to do anyway, talk and talk and talk, After the late lamented has been carefully stored away everybody forgets what the minister said, but they remember that it “sure was a grand funeral.” I don't think I want a really grand funeral. Some folk are just naturally gluttons for sorrow. They let a smile creep unconsciously across their faces everytime they see hearse go by. ‘They can’t enjoy their breakfast until they look in the paper to see who is dead. Have you ever watched a death notice addict? They get up with a grouch, grumble over the teacups. until they open the paper and turn to the obituaries. They run theit finger down the page with changing expressions of joy and disappoint ment. Nothing makes a death notice addict sorer than to find that the Jones or Smith listed there isn't one of his best friends. Sud denly they emit a stiffed cry of pleasure and their faces light up like a man who had lost a pocketbook of thousand-dollar bills and finds it advertised in the lost and found column, They announce with tears in their eyes that Old Bill Snoozlefritz passed away last night. The tears are tears of joy. And if Snoozlefritz happens to be a minister or potentate of some secret order they are tickled almost into convulsionis. This means a chance to act in some official capacity. They can ride to the church with the family and special accommodations are made for them up front if they are a special officer. They can even set throughout the funeral with their hats on, which adds to their importance. Of course they have to look very solemn and grieved when a pastor dies, and each deacon tries to look sadder than the other, which makes a’ very sad spectacle indeed. Whenever anybody dies in’ Washington it is always necessary to call out the fire department and half the police force to keep order, No self-respecting remains would want all the hallabaloo we kick up. ‘This is merely a suggestion which nobody need pay any attention to, 1 think that when two or three prominent personages are planning to succumb during the same month they ought to put their head together and decide among themselves which one is to, have the big funeral. This would save a great deal of time, expense and worry, or else they could arrange to die all at once and let one funeral do for all. This, I think, would be a better plan, and if it could be arranged so that they could set a special date for the monthly burials we who enjoy such things would know what day to look forward to and not be kept in a state of perpetual excitement and expectation, There is nothing like system, you know. ‘This plan would expedite matters in many ways. For instance, a8 things are now, the florists are losing money by buying a lot of flowers and stocking up the place and nobody kicks off. If there: was a definite time set each month they would not have to go to this expense. Under these arrangements funeral services would be reduced to a minimum because the ministers could be divided up into twelve: groups and take turns, then they would not have to all speak at once. Of course it’s not for me to voice the sentiments of all of the late lamented, ‘but as for me, when I am being preached skyward, I think that about four o'clock or thereahouts (after we had been in the church since eleven) I'd call one of the pall- go 0, ge bearers over and request that he Jp >, : please ask that tenth preacher to /p4~ ees sit down and let us get out of there.

Dr. Woodson has been publish: ing books upon the history of the Negro for some years. This recent volume, he tells us, is “An Annota- tion of ‘The Negro. in Our His. tory’ to the capacity of children in the elementary schools.” And he goes on to say: ‘The aim is to fa- cilitate the teachers’ task of pre- paring children to play their part canals: in this new age. The teacher should hold up before them the examples of their own people ‘who have done things worth while. Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose» the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and. history.” With this aim in mind Dr. Wood. son gives a history of the Negro in the New World by means of a series of biographies, with a -his- torical background sketched in. ‘Through “his careful historical studies; Dr. Woodson has given a ee of in this country.

I also like the pledge because it will help to make us better citizens, and the progress of the Negro race will increase. ‘The pledge, if followed by the children of today, will make the finest type of men and women of tomorrow that can be produced anywhere. ‘The Tribunites’ pledge impresses upon us the need of the Negro for honor and respectable citi- zens. —_o—_—_. ‘A GIRL'S REASON By Loretta Butler The Tribunites’ pledge guides the junior readers of the ‘Tribune to better and worthier citizenship. Our pledge has four good ob- jects. £ like the first object be- cause to use the word “nigger” would insult the American Negroes of today. The second oject of the pledge is good because if someone of an- other race slanders our race I will be able to tell something of its history. I like the third object because a Negro worthy of his name should respect his race. Lastly, I like the Triunites’ pledge because it encourages me to gain the respect of my race. eee gee PRIZES OF $5 OFFERED __A limerick contest appears on page eight of the Illustrated Fea- ture Section of this week's papers.

Price, founder of Livingstone College ’ in | North Carolina was born Feb. 10; ‘Thomas A. Edison, on the eleventh; Lin- Arnold said that religion is mor- ality touched with emotion. We need the touch of emotion to make these people fully live. The Ne- gro artist in literature should take some one of these figures, Allen, Banneker, Cuffee, Russworm, and make him immortal. With such a wealth of material nothing can be too good to commemorate the in- dividual achievements of a race.
