THE KINGS OF YEMEN Vol. VIII, No. 38 'SORRY NOW' SAYS 11-YR.- OLD GIRL Played Truant for Two Weeks, Afraid of Being Scolded, She Says Fearful of being punished when her guardian was informed that she had remained out of school for nearly two weeks, 11-year-old Helen Grant, 1840 Vernon place, northwest, tried to end her life by drinking a bottle of turpentine in her home. Thursday. The child, according to Mrs. M. R. Lewis, instructor at the Wilson School, Seventeenth and Euclid streets, northwest, has been absent from school since February 1. On Thursday she called at the home to ascertain the cause of the child's absence and was surprised to know that an aunt, who worked out each day was not aware of this. The child was not scolded in any way, Mrs. Lewis said. Drinks Turpentine Shortly after the teacher had left the girl, who is said to be of a nervous temperament, found a bottle of turpentine and drank the contents. She was discovered in a critical condition by Mrs. M. Dent, of 1846 Vernon street, and removed to the Emergency Hospital. Thursday night she was reported out of danger and informed her teacher that she was sorry and now wanted to return to school. Oscar DePriest Also Among Invited Guests at Charter Day Dinner Plans are moving forward for two occasions of great importance in early March. The Alumni Charter Day Dinner is to have as its special guests, Attorney Harry Howard, of Burlington, Vermont, and Col. C. O. Howard, Librarian in the Department of Interior, both sons of General Oliver Otis Howard, founder of Howard University. This will be the sixth annual Alumni Senior Charter Day Dinner at which time the seniors of all departments will be the guests of faculty and alumni. Annual Affair The occasion has grown to be one of the important annual events on the university calendar. As many as 500 people have sat about the festive board enjoying reminiscences of the early days of Howard on the part of relatives of the founder, faculty members, alumni, and the short and inspiring addresses of student representatives. The occasion this year as in the past five years will be in charge of a committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. Alma J. Scott, and shows splendid promise of measuring up to the standard of former years. The alumni reception under the auspices of the General Alumni Association is to be held Monday evening, March 4, in the university gymnasium. ta Y pl sme H br bi The entire first floor is to be devoted to the reception, one of the auxiliary gymnasiums being used for checking purposes and the other as a rest and reception room, leaving the large main gymnasium (Continued on page 2) William Washington Held After Hearing as Operator of Chance Game William Washington, 2608 K street, northwest, was committed for the action of the grand jury on charges of operating a "numbers" bookie when he was arraigned in the U.

Bruce, Democrat, of Maryland, asked Senator Coleman I. Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, in the course of the latter's remarks in the Senate last Wednesday, "whether any Negro in South Carolina has ever been given the opportunity to show whether or not he would fall asleep as a locomotive engineer." Senator Blease answered that colored men had been put on engines as engineers and in cotton mills, and the roar of the machinery had put them asleep. Cannot Work in Mills The question of Senator Bruce was evoked by the remarks of Senator Blease that there was no fear of the establishment of cotton mills in South Carolina on account of Negro labor. "The Negro can not work in the cotton mills," he said. "The hum of the machinery puts him to sleep. Therefore, he does not come into competition with our white people (Continued on page 2) CIVIC GROUP SEEKS NEW FIRE HOUSE The erection of a new fire house for No. 4 Engine Company was advocated by the Southwest Civic Association at a meeting held on Wednesday evening at Randall Junior High School.

"To the Editor of the Washington Tribune: "In your issue of February 15, an article appeared under the sensational title "Accuse Hospital of Red Tape Murder as Babe, Denied Admission, Dies," the writer of which gives his initials only as "J.A.L." This article asserts that at least two members of the Community Chest, namely the Children's Hospital and the Associated Charities, had failed to meet a real test of their worth through failure to give prompt relief to the family of Mrs. Addie Shaw, 1809 Twelfth street, northwest, whose husband was ill in the hospital and whose three-year-old baby had died after being refused admission to the Children's Hospital for lack of a TEACHER DIES IN ACCIDENT COMBATUNIT NOT TO TAKE PART MCH.4 High School Cadets and R. O.T.C. to March in Inaugural Parade Here A request of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasured of Howard University, and a member of the general inaugural committee, to have a unit of the Ninth or Tenth Calvary, or the Twenty-fourth or Twenty-fifth Infantry participate in the inaugural parade on March 4, was refused by the War Department this week. He was informed that it was against the policy adopted by the General Inaugural Committee which had decided that only regular army troops near Washington which could be brought here without additional cost to the government would participate in the parade. The Secretary of War wrote him as follows: No Additional Expense "It was decided sometime ago by the committee in charge of the inaugural parade that the only regular army troops to participate in the parade would be those who could be brought to Washington without additional expense to the government. So, of course, the bringing of the 10th Cavalry or any other unit of the regular army stationed at a distance from Washington to this city for the inaugural parade and the ceremonies incident thereto is not practicable. "I regret that the circumstances are not such as would enable me to make a more favorable reply to your request." High School Corps to March The Reserve Officers Training Corps and band of Howard University and the Cadet Corps and band of the local colored high schools will participate. The War Department has advised officials of Howard University and of the public schools of the District of Columbia that the Reserve Officers Training Corps and the colored cadets will be assigned positions in the parade. Each unit is to be allowed 100 men and their bands. permit from the District Welfare Department. The writer also criticized the Welfare Department for its red tape delay in granting the woman a permit. Dr. Finkelstein's Statement "First as to the alleged conduct of the Children's Hospital in reference to this situation. I have today called at this hospital and examined the records. They fully bear out the statement made to me by Dr. A. S. Finkelstein, who was in charge of the admission room of the hospital on February 4th, when Mrs. Shaw's child was first brought there. Dr. Finkelstein's statement to me as to what occurred is as follows: "On Monday, February 4, 1929, Maurice Shaw was examined and found to have an acute naso-pharyngitis. His temperature being 101 degrees. "There were no signs of meningeal irritation an dthe mother was not told that the Heads Chiropractors Dr. Charles A.

Prominent Speakers at Negro History Observance The fourth annual celebration of Negro History Week was observed by the officers and teachers of divisions 10-13 of the public schools of the District of Columbia on last Monday afternoon in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School. Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, presided. Addresses were delivered by well-known and well-informed men on the subjects in hand. The "African Background" was the subject of Prof. Alain Locke's talk. Prof. Ralph Bunche, of Howard University, presented an interesting discourse on "Negro Political Activity in the Reconstruction," and J. Francis Gregory gave a wonderful and enthusiastic talk on "The Three Attitudes." Music was furnished by Mr. Clyde Glass. The program was interesting as well as instructive. MRS. TERRELL. JURIST Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, 1615 S street, northwest, is a member of the February jury in Criminal Court Number 1, Chief Justice Walter L. McCoy, presiding. child had "Spinal Meningitis." Instructions for the care of the child at home together with the prescription for the necessary medicine was given. The mother being unable to pay for the medicine, it was obtained from the hospital pharmacy without charge. No word of leaving the child at the hospital was made at this time, no mention of any permit from the District Building. The mother was told to bring the child back at any time if his condition did not seem improved. On Wednesday, February 6, if he did improve. At this time, although the mother evidently thought the child's condition not worse than on the previous Monday, the child showed definite signs of a Meningitis and was admitted to the hospital at once. At this time, she was given a slip to take to the District Building. LOCAL MAN ON CRIPPLED FREIGHTER LOCAL MAN ON CRIPPLED FREIGHTER William C. George En Route To Liberia on Ship Reported in Distress Anxiety of family and friends for William C. George, 25, of 1319 Q street, northwest, who is aboard the American freighter, Padnsay, reported in distress in a North Atlantic storm, was relieved Sunday when a message from the manager of the offices of the Barber Line, operators of the vessel, to his parents told of the safety of the Padnsay for which three ships had searched during the night.

William Keller, patrolman Stephen Bellinger, white, of the central district, helped a prisoner to rob a house, and even aided him to carry off the loot. The robber was Clarence Hicks, 23, who was arrested on a charge of looting a warehouse. "Looks like I am going to the jail house for a long time," Hicks said, and the officers consented to go home with him and get clothes and things. They went to a house where Hicks seemed at home. He changed his clothes, took a watch, eyeglasses and other things. The police helped Hicks pack up, but soon after they all arrived at the police station a man rushed in declaring his house, the one they had just left, had been robbed. Further Statements "Dr. Finkelstein further assures me that it is the practice of the Children's Hospital in all such cases where a child is in immediate need of treatment to give admission without delay and merely advise the necessity of getting a permit in due time to enable the cost of service to be charged to the Public Welfare Department. "Dr. Finkelstein's statement is now fully verified by the mother of the child, Mrs. Shaw, herself, who today told a visitor from the Associated Charities that the statement published in your paper was 'all wrong.' "At the office of the Board of Public Welfare Dr. R. S. Tobin, the Medical Officer in Charge, further verified the record to the effect that Mrs. Shaw had applied for a permit for her child to enter the hospital on February 7, the day following that on which the child (Continued on page 7) PLANS TAKE SHAPE FOR TESTIMONIAL Prominent Leaders From All Sections are Expected To Attend Banquet To Hawkins Prominent personages from all sections of the country are expected to participate in the monster banquet to Dr. John R.

CAPITAL EDITION Parade ES NT MERCER COOK'S WIFE KILLED IN AUTO MISHAP Wife of Howard University Instructor Sustains Broken Neck En Route to Funeral of Friend NEW YORK CITY—Mrs. Bernice Wilson Cook, estranged wife of Mercer Cook, instructor of languages at Howard University, was buried from Salem M. E. Church, Thursday, the Rev. F. A. Cullen officiating. Mrs. Cook, who was a teacher in the Washington street grammar school at Greensboro, N.C., died shortly after being thrown from a Chrysler roadster at a railroad crossing between Reedsville and Brown Summit, N.C., about 7 o'clock Sunday forming. Mrs. Cook, with Edward Goin, an instructor at A. & T. College, and Miss Martha Green, of Bennett College, was en route to the funeral of Miss Evelyn Humbles, another teacher, who was buried in Lynchburg, Va. The other occupants were not seriously hurt. The automobile was demolished. Traveled Abroad Mrs. Cook was well known in New York, Washington, and in Greensboro, where she was teaching her third year. She is the wife of Mercer Cook, Howard University instructor and son of Will Marion Cook, noted composer and musical director, and Abbie Mitchell, soprano and dramatic artist. She was born in New York and received her education here, graduating from Wadleigh High School and Teachers' College. The deceased was credited here for her work as a writer of amateur plays. After she was married to the Howard teacher the pair spent one year in Paris, where Mr. Cook took advanced studies. They separated following their return to this country. FORGETS NAME OF DRIVER Although the driver of the machine which struck Leroy W. Brazier, 42 years old, of 1204 R street, Friday night, stopped and gave his name and address, Brazier lost the paper upon which he had written it and was unable to inform police who hit him. He was taken to Emergency Hospital in a taxicab and treated by Dr. I. Rutkozki for a possible fracture of his left leg. Teachers' Work Praised The principal of Grover Cleveland school, Mrs. Mary T. Latiimore, and associate teachers tendered Miss M. B. Robinson, teacher of the 5A grade, a letter last Friday, February 15, expressing their appreciation for her presentation of a pageant in the assembly hall of the school. This pageant, "Progress of a Race," was composed by Miss Robinson for children from the various grades of the school. The teachers formed committees which trained the pupils in their parts, the result being that the entire performance proved most satisfactory. The pageant beginning with the Negro in Africa portrays his condition on the slave ship, during slavery and gives a true and interesting insight in his advancement after the Civil War. It also enlightens us as to his present day status. It is well written and can stand criticism when viewed from the standpoint of soundness, truth, proportion and interest. The parts are well balanced. WOMAN'S SOCIETY Baltimore Twice Draws Washington Crowds Quite a number of Washingtonians journeyed to Baltimore on last Friday night to attend the Tuxedo dance. The only regrettable thing was the hall was too small to accommodate the many friends of this club. All who attended report a most wonderful time. Baltimore again called many of the folks from the Nation's Capital when Morgan College basketball five met Howard's five on Monday night. Though Howard met with defeat, the spirit of her supporters was strong as the team fought to the end with a hope to win but could not keep back those real fighters of that wonderful fast Morgan College team. Friends in this city and Chicago were agreeably surprised at the announcement of the marriage of Attorney Albertus Brown Conn, son of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Conn, to Miss Alice R. Booker, of Chicago. The marriage took place February 9, 1928, at Bowling Green, Ohio, and has just leaked out. The marriage is the culmination of a romance that started at Michigan University. The young couple will make their home in Toledo, Ohio, where Attorney Conn has established himself in the offices of his late uncle and namesake, Albertus Brown.

JULES BLEDSOE FOR JAZZ OPERA Krigwa Players Score in Season's Opening Ward MISS EDNA BARR, who is a member of the cast of "Harlem," which opened at the Boulevard Theatre last week prior to its Broadway opening. Twenty-three of the seventy-five actors and actresses in the cast of "Harlem," the drama of New York's black belt, will play principal roles. With the exception of Arthur Hughes, who plays the detective sergeant, the cast is all-colored. Isobelle Washington, who a few months ago was in the chorus at Connie's Inn and later with the Alhambra Players, has the lead, and among the cast is Billy Andrews, Inez Clough, Ernest Whitman, Nat Cash, and Rosetta Brown. This drama is produced by Edward A. Blatt, and was written by William Jourdan Rapp and Wallace Thurman. With the expiration of his contract with Florenze Zeifeld, Jules Bledsoe, famous baritone who made "Ole Man River" in "Show Boat" famous, will desert the musical comedy stage to star in an opera of his own composition. The opera which Bledsoe spent two years in writing is based on a stage success of several years ago. It is designed somewhat along the lines of Laurence Starling's "Deep River," the American jazz opera which starred Bledsoe. Although Bledsoe is best known for his remarkable baritone voice, both on the musical comedy and concert stage, he is a composer of no mean ability, and began his career as a pianist. He has written several spiritual and folk songs which have enjoyed wide popularity. Arrangements for the production of the Bledsoe opus have been completed and its presentation awaits only the end of the long run of "Show Boat." NEW DRAMA FOR PAUL ROBESON Paul Robeson, star of the London production of "Show Boat," and who has been the most successful actor in Europe this season, will star in a new play next fall which is now being prepared for him by Edgar Wallace, the prolific English dramatist. NEW SHOW AT CONNIE'S INN Leonard Harper's new revue opens the last of this month at Connie's Inn and is said to outclass anything that Harper has done for years. The cast will remain practically the same with a few minor changes in the chorus and the addition of the Midnight Steppers, a Publix act. MIDNIGHT STEPPERS SCORE The Midnight Steppers, Ray Moore, Charles Thompson and William Graham, who made their first appearance in New York a few weeks ago at a benefit for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, are the added attraction at the exclusive Connie's Inn and doubled last week with Dewey Wineglass "Chee Chee" at the Lafayette after finishing with Paul Ash at the Brooklyn Paramount. These boys have played the entire Publici time and have brought something new to New York in dancing tricks that will be very hard to follow. --- ```markdown ``` Tommy Guinan, brother of the well known Texas Guinan, was sentenced to four months in jail and a fine of $500 for allegedly maintaining a nuisance in backing Florence Emery and her exclusive Chez Florence nite club at 117 West 48th street, New York City, which was raided last year during Mabel Willebrandt's clean-up of Broadway. Miss Emery, the wife of the late Palmer Jones, ran this club on the same plan as she does her Chez Florence in Paris and her clientele was among the best known leaders of the financial and social world. "APPEARANCES" IN BAD Garland Anderson's "Appearances" which Equity threatened to close last Thursday, was saved through the finding of a new backer in a Chicago attorney. This show, in its ninth week at the Shubert's Princess Theatre in Chicago did a gross of oply $3,000 last week and is said to have lost more than $40,000 already. HARRIS AND RADCLIFFE A HIT Harris and Radcliffe were well taken last week at the Palace, New York City, and hailed as a complete stopper. In the versatile Radcliffe, Harris has a partner much better than either Van Hurst or Bailey. Harris' kid brother was on for an encore with his clog. "Pay Day," the Owen Davis production which opened several weeks ago at the Orpheum Theatre, Newark, N.J., starring Ida Anderson, and closed the following week in Philadelphia for revision, has gone into rehearsal again and will make another start in about a week with a partly new cast. HARLEM'S LINCOLN THEATRE SOLD Mrs. Marie C. Downs, who for twenty years operated Harlem's Lincoln, sold the house to the Schiffman-Brecker Interests, who also own the Lafayette Theatre and will be run by the same policy that has made the latter house the most popular house in the country catering largely to colored people. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1929 SAM POPEL GETS DRAMATIC HONOR Three Plays Presented by Krigwa Masterfully Presented High honors for dramatic characterization were carried off by Samuel Popel and Mrs. Estelle Evans when the Krigwa players scored a tremendous success in their presentation of three one-act plays in the auditorium of the Dunbar High School, Friday night. Popel and Mrs. Evans were nicely contrasted and were able to attain great heights in "Compromise," the second and most typical of the offerings. He as a southern gentleman, and she as a Negro mother carried the audience with the spirit of the southland. "Compromise" is the story of Jane Lee and her children. After her worthless husband compromised with Ben Carter, their white neighbor, for one hundred dollars after Carter had killed their elder son, and spent the money on drink which killed him. Jane struggled on, trying to keep things going. Then another tragedy comes about. Annie, the elder daughter, is ruined by Jack Carter, Ben's son, and Alec, Jane's son, breaks Jack's arm in an attempt to kill him. Ben Carter swears vengeance against Alec, who escapes, and the mother defends her home with a gun against the wrath of the whites. The play was written by Willis Richardson.

As in "Ramona" her last picture she reverts to a type—this time one of a fiery gypsy girl. "Revenge" is heralded as probably the most unusual moving picture of the season. Adapted from the story "The Bear Tamer's Daughter," it has scenes showing as many as one hundred bears, some wild, others tame. The flaming feuds, fierce hatreds and wild lovers of a passionate people—the Gypsies are all in this production. "Revenge" is synchronized with music and sound effects and features the song hit, "Revenge." On Thursday and Friday, February 28 and March 1, "Silks and Saddles," a story of the race track from the inside, will be the feature attraction. It has the most thrilling race scene ever filmed. It is the story of a disgusted jockey—the fastest on the track, but fast night life slowed him down. He was the best jockey on the track, until a whirl of night clubs, dissipation and wild women brought him to dishonor. Could he come back? "Interference" at the Lincoln Next Week On the screen, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, the Paramount all-talking picture, "Interference," will be the feature attraction at the Lincoln Theatre. This is the first Broadway stage production filmed that features dialogue from beginning to end. Ther are four principal players well known to film fans in the cast. They are Clive Brook, Evelyn Brent, William Powell and Doris Kenyon. All of the players, including the supporting cast, have had previous stage experience. "Interference" is a story of a woman scorned. To round out the program Eddie Cantor will be seen and heard in "That Party in Person"; also the popular stage artist, Ruth Etting, who will sing several of the late song successes. On the screen Thursday and Friday will be seen "The Shopworn Angel." A war-time wedding in dialogue is one of the features of the new Nancy Carrol-Gray Cooper co-featuring picture with sound and dialogue. "The Shopworn Angel," which will lshow for two days starting Thursday, February 28, at the Lincoln Theatre. Nancy Carroll sings in the closing sequence of this love story. There will also be seen and heard Vitaphone and Movietone acts. JOHN GILBERT IN FOUR WALLS AT THE BROADWAY Sunday and Monday, John Gilbert, Joan Crawford, Vera Gordon and Carmel Myers will be seen in a dramatic underworld picture, "Four Walls." The scenes of the picture are laid in the east side of New York City, and from the roof of a skyscraper can be seen a battle between the police and gangsters. In this picture Gilbert does the best dramatic acting of his career. Tuesday only, by special request, the management is bringing back that screen classic, "The Way of All Flesh," with Emil Jannings, Belle Bennett, Phyllis Haver, Donald Keith and Fred Kobler cast in the leading roles. It's a soul-stirring and intense drama, dealing with the struggle of soul against flesh. Wednesday and Thursday, Jack Holt and the great Baclanova appear in Zane Grey's "Avalanche." Friday and Saturday, the usual double feature bill, with Richard Barthelmess, Lina Basquette, Warner Orland and Margaret Livingstone in Fannie Hurst's "Wheel of Chance." One wanted to kill her—the other did. The other picture is "The Grain of Dust," with Ricardo Cortez, Claire Windsor and Alma Bennett. On Sunday week will be shown that great picture, "White Shadows in the South Seas." Addison Carey Presents "The Lindberg Hop Revue" at Howard For the week beginning Monday matinee, February 25 the Howard presents "The Lindbergh Hop Revue," with Shelton Brooks as master of ceremonies, ably assisted by Galli DeGaston, Charles Ray, Putney Dandridge, the popular Howarddettes, and a host of visiting artists headed by Lomax and Johnson. On the screen for the week will be seen "Show People." When King Vidor was filming "Show People," due at the Howard Theatre beginning Monday, February 25, and running through Sunday, March 3, in which Marion Davies and William Haines are costarred, he got around that part of the script which called for the appearance of a number of motion picture stars rather handily. Miss Davies plays a southern girl who is seeking fame in the movies and Haines is a slapstick comedian who helps her to stardom and her career up the ladder furnishes the comedy and satire of the film. How she develops "temperament," almost marries a bogus count, and how pictures are made at Hollywood, all figure in the sequences, with a typical "Keystone" comedy making its picture as a part of the plot. Wednesday night is opportunity night, and Saturday night is gift night. The regular midnight ramble on Friday night, 12:15. Seats now on sale. RETURNS TO "SHOW BOAT" Vera Bracken, one of Ziegfeld's "Show Boat" beauties, has returned to the Ziegfeld Theatre, after an absence of several weeks' confinement in Wiley Wilson's Sanitarium suffering from a nervous breakdown.

C. TRIP SHATTERS CHAMPIONSHIP HOPES OF BORDENTOWN BORDENTOWN, N.J.—Borden- ‘town’s aspirations toward a cham- pionship season received a rude setback during the past week when the Jersey Wildeats dropped four out of six games with high school and collegiate teams. Tronsiders broke even with ng High of Washington, winning an easy victory at Bor- dentown by a 36-26 count, and los- ing a heartbreaking contest at Washington after two overtime sessions by a 26-25 score. Another close contest was dropped to the Community Yellow- Sackets of the Capital. City when the Yellowjackets tied the score in the last ten seconds of play, and then won out 43-38 in the over time period. ‘The Freshman, or Junior Var- sity five of Howard University jumped on the visitors while in their slump and dropped them for a 86-27 count. The Howard men ‘got off to an impressive start and ran up .a 12-0 score before the Jerseyites got started. A 17-12 count at the end of the Ses half ‘made action more interesting, and ‘the Wildcats brought the crowd to its feet by staging a third sues ae rally that tied the score, In the waning minutes of the fray, how- ever, the strain told on them and they slowed up considerably in the last pcs, A last ditch stand at Baltimore brought out a 30-22 victory for the Jerseyites after a hard-fought bat- tle with Douglass High School. The big court of the Baltimore school gave the visitors ample op- portunity for their long overhead passes on which they made the majority of their scores. Horace Russ, elongated forward of the Bordentown five, was easily the outstanding player in_every one of the five games. He ran wild over opposing guards for a staggering total of 40 field goals and ten free throws, a total of Ininety points.

Anderson West MARSHALL, Texas.—The sec- ond annual Southwestern basket- ball tourney being held here Fri- day and Saturday, February 22- 23, is expected to give local fol- lowers plenty of thrills and some real basketball, Right now it. is the hope of the Marshallites, that one of the local schools, "Bishop or Wiley, will be able to’ cop the beautiful Loga and Whaley trophy, now held by Sam Huston, last year’s champions. However, Prairle View, Paul Quinn, Sam Huston, Jarvis, Texas College, and Arkansas A.M.& N:, must be reckoned with.

INDIANS BOW ‘AGAIN TO SEMINARY HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va— Hampton's Blue and White basket- eers made a desperate effort to defeat Virginia Seminary, . of Lynchburg, in their second meet- ing of the season, but odds were against them. They went down fighting in the tune of 28-21, ‘Hargrove, Hampton's short di- minutive center, was the center of attraction in the first half. For a time it seemed as if he was going to help send Hampton throug! with ying colors. Hargrove was in every fight and many times he broke up Seminary’s dazzling for- mations. For Seminary, Henderson stood out as the outstanding performer, while Thomas, Seminary’s lanky forward, came in as a lesser lumin- ary. Henderson and Thomas were unusual on their short shots, most- ly because of their advantageous height. Their long shots were perfect, as they went through the rim with a sharp “whish.” Hen- derson ran up thirteen points for his team, while his co-star, Tho- mas, accounted for 11 points, When the gun for the half was fired Hampton and Seminary were fighting for a lead. The ‘second half began with eer ever in- ereasing her lead, which she re- tained until the final gun. The last half was marked by the re- tiring of Eddie Davis and Fowler, on personal fouls, and Alexander and Cy Taylor for Hampton on the same offense, a nek | Hampton (21) ‘Va, Seminary (28) BFP BFP Cottonrf.... 1 0 2|Thomasrf... 4 3 2 Mlexander,if, 1 1 4{Davigif......0 0 4 Hargrovec.. 4 0 1)Hendervon,c.. 6 1 0 Tayloriig..s. 1 2 4\Bellrg..-sscs LO 2 Hunterre.-, 0 0 1lFowlerg.... 1 00 4 Jones,f...... 0 1 O)Suter@....., 0 0 0 MeGowang-. 2 1 0) (fh Side Gatesie..c-- 0 0 0) 24g ey rere Referee—Tezlor (Lincolaiprafimer—V- 8. ‘Brown (Hampton).

GAS APPLIANCE HEADQUARTERS PETITIONS REMOVAL OF PAPER RACKS The Central Civic Association, in its regular meeting at Dunbar High School last Thursday night, passed a motion to petition the District Commissioners to remove the newspaper honor racks from the streets of the city since they are a great temptation to the poor boy to steal.

Dr. Tobin explained that it was necessary under the law to verify the woman's residence in the District of Columbia . order to grant the permit and this was subsequently done. The Associated Charities "As to the part played by the Associated Charities in relation to this unfortunate family a careful checking of the record in the office of this society shows that Mrs. Shaw has made no request for help from this source during the recent period referred to by the article published by your paper. It is true that information came from the Juvenile Court through the Social Service Exchange about the illness of Mrs. Shaw's baby and her need of help. This was on February 6, the day the baby was admitted to the Children's Hospital. Immediately a visitor of the Associated Charities tried to find Mrs. Shaw at the house where she lived, but did not find her at home. The visitor left a written message asking her to call at the branch office of the Associated Charities. It appears that in the interval since the death of the baby the mother has received a substantial cash contribution from members of her church, which fund however has been used for back rent, part of the funeral expenses and the purchase of food. The visitor of the Associated Charities is now in touch with the family and is providing coal and other necessities, which will be done so long as may be necessary. Son Seventeen "In justice to the Associated Charities the fact should further be brought out that this family has received care and relief at different times for several years past through its agency and that the visitor in charge of the matter last September and October did at that time advise that the 17-year-old son should try to find employment to aid his mother even fi it necessitated his giving up attendance at the public school and taking some night school course. The writer of your article made much of this point, but incorrectly stated the facts and did not mention the boy's age.

Since Haiti has been autocratically governed by the Secretary of the United States Navy since 1915, and as Haiti is a Negro Republic, the question of the Secretary of the Navy is an important one to the Negro of this country and Haiti. ‘This question has increased in importance the last few weeks by the resignation and report of Dr. A. C. Millspaugh, of Michigan, who ecupled the position of “Financial Adviser” to the High Commissioner of Haiti, whose official acts are characteristic of the former German Kaiser, if not more drastic and ceftainly 2 re prejudicial, Haiti's independence was dearly won by that great patriot and warrior, Toussaint L’Overture, in 1801. It has 10,204 square miles of territory with 2,315,287 inhabitants, Revolution and turmoil tore the little Republic from 1900 to 1915. December, 1913, ushered in a turbulent political period. Zamar became president, February 8, 1914; Devilmar Theodore, November 7, 1914, and resident Sam, March 4, 1915. President Sain’s administration ended by, his death July 26, 1915. ‘A United States cruiser arrived in the ital, Port au Prince, and landed marines, who occupied the country, the natives and endeavored to restore order, ~ On August 12, 1915, an election was held under United States bayonets and Sudre Dartiguenave was declared president. A treaty atified between Washington and Haiti on May 3, 1916, which was of Haiti's supposed legal subservance to ‘the United 38 political and fiscal protectorate, Things went from bad @ worse, and in 1921 a grave problem was Haiti's because of the and kaiser-like domination exercised by the representative of ry of the Navy. -_., , Inthe reorganization and financing of the government, the National Gity Bank of New York came into the picture and at the end of 1925, government owed $22,046,252. And the marines are kept there, like they are in Nicaurauga, to protect the bank loans. Why should the Secretary of the Navy be requested to send a man, with marines, to ‘be the collector of any private financial institution, in America? _,, Haiti presents the peculiar situation of being a rich country, whose nultive inhabitants are in dire poverty and illiteracy. On paper, it has THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1929 A DIPLOMAT nme CAPITAL Perhaps you read with a great deal of interest the announcement that a testimonial banquet will be tendered to Dr. John R. Hawkins for his services as head of the Colored Voters’ Division of the Repub- lican National Committee. Perhaps you just read it minus the interest. ‘A banquet to Dr. Hawkins is quite fitting and proper if banquets of any kind are justifiable, which I most seriously doubt, Years of attending such things have convineed me that they are not what they are eracked up to be. To a chronic banquet -addict, its. supposedly honored guest is just an excuse to give another banquet, and the bigger he is the better they like it. % Washington folk can stir up a banquet on the slightest provoca- tion. ‘They go around with their noses to the ground trying to scare up somebody to give a banquet for. Once they pick up a scent, it matters not how modest and retiring the selected individual may ‘be, all of, his protestations fall on deaf ears, and the only thing that will save him from the inevitable banquet is death itself. A modest man in public life cannot afford to run around cominitting suicide to avoid being honored by his fellow men. It would interfere with his business too much, Banquets seldom accomplish anything. The banquetted indiviaual is ill at ease. throughout the entire evening because he cannot help but wonder as the speechmakers laud his accomplishments just what their ulterior motives arc. Nine chances out of ten the guys who make the finest speeches will be around the following day to get a loan. or ask a favor of some sort. ‘This is'especially true in the case of school officials. Long before the dishes are washed the sponsors are sitting on the steps of the honored gdeit: asking him to appoint their daughters, who by the ‘way are so dumb they think Ash Wednesday is the day to sit out the garbage. Banquets are always from $2.00 to $5.00. per plate, and the food actually. served could be bought for two bits in any Greek res- taurant. The only difference is that: you don’t get the speeches for a quarter, which makes it all the better. The question that always baffles me is, what becomes of the rest of the money? Banquets seldom lose money because the invitations are sent in such # way that if you refuse to remit you take a chance of incurring the enemity of the honored guest because he will naturally ‘assume that everybody who isn’t there don’t give a darn about him; Banquets also are very wasteful because even though you fork up your two bucks, you know from past experience that the food is Hiable to run out by the time they reach you, so you eat a big, meal before you go to be on the safe side, so you really aren't hungry. And even if you save up for it by not eating they are bound to sit you down beside a gink who guzzles his soup spoils ‘your appetite, ‘The fact ‘that Dr. Hawkins led. the Republican hosts to victory is not the basic cause for the banquet. If Al Smith had won the chronic banquetters would have flocked just as wholeheartedly to his sup- porters. A cat has so enemity against any particular mouse. She likes to chase mice for the sake of the chase, and so it is with banguetters, This column goes on record as favoring an amendment to the Constitution making it unlawful for a man's friends to get up testi- monials for him without his consent. Any person caught spreading propaganda and sending out feelers for a banquet should be sentenced to listen'to 365, after-dinner speeches, This penalty would -be the cauivolent of capital. punishment, because the guilty party would die from disgust about the middle of his sentence. . Any man caught soliciting subscriptions at so much per plate Should be convicted of. using the mails to defraud and should be sen- tenced to jail on potato salad and demi tasse for the rest of his natural life. ‘A man. caught with a joke book in his pocket. could be convicted on circumstantial evidence on the assumption that he was in a con- spiracy to make an after-dinner speech. He should be made to sit at a banquet table alone and figure out which fork is proper for the different courses. Without anybody else to watch he would probably starve to death before he got the right one. ‘These penalties may seem severe, but we must use dractic measures to curb this dastardly evil before the next election as they might want to give & testimonial for the next | chairman. of the colored division of the Republican National Commit- ‘tee which I will tell you in strict J 2 § ‘confidence will be none other than WORLD SERVICE AND NEGRO EDUCATION ‘The Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, North in its annual report in February made mention of the following figures of its achievements during the past 68 years: Negro schools, 16; teachers in these schools, 379;° students en- rolled this year, 6,507; trained and sent, out from these schools in fif- ty-eight years, 200,000; schoo! teachers trained, 13,000; colored conferences created, 20; ministers in these conferénces, 2,045; church members, 342,732; children in Sun- day school, 206,252; churches, 8,519 ;valued at $4,000,000.

ONE FINE DAY By Lloyd Payne (16) It was a lovely bright: day. There was just that tang in the air which makes life seem worth living. ‘The handsome chap of forty-five or so, in the big, gray car couldn't keep his fingers from the ggs throt- tle. Along. about One “Hundred and Sixty-eighth Street, on the drive, there was a familiar rat-tat- tat behind him. He glanced at his rear vision glass, then pulled over to the curb. ‘The officer parked his motor- cycle in a leisurely manner, unbut- toned a place in the front of his coat and walked over to the side of the car, book in hand, penefl poised. “What's yer name?” he growled. ‘The man in the gray car said: “Oh come, come, officer; haven't you any zest for living? Haven't you any imagination? The stretch was perfectly clear. Such a beau- fiful morning, “How could I help fre ‘The officer glanced up, sympathy in his heart. He too had rather enjoyed scooting along briskly this fine morning. But when his’ gaze met the other's face, his expression hardened. Without again asking for it, he wrote down the man's name on his pad. But the man in the gray ear interrupted, again. “Tell you what I'll do, officer. You've got me on the hip—there’s no denying that. I'l get not less than ten dollars and costs for this, Tear up that slip and Vl give you a twenty dollar bill. You can tun it in to the city’s funds as a fine if you like; or, if you wish, you can put it to: any purpose that ‘oc- curs to you.” The officer looked him squarely in the eye. The mun-in the gray car thought that he felt a nudge of recognition back in his subcon- scious somewhere, “You're going to drive to the station,” the officer told him. “And the Amsterdam News says: “The Amsterdam News is willing to join hands with the New York Age, of any other New York newspaper to form an association for our mutual benefit, whether in news gathering, circulating, distribution, or adver- tising.” ; DePriest The Bulletin of Cincinnati says: “His election to Congress is going to mean that he will be under the scrutiny of many critical eyes. The truth of the situation is visualized by him.” The Inauguration The Pittsburgh Courier says: “Probably it. might be fitting. to invite all of the Negro office-seek- crs to form themselves into a war strength regiment and join the pro- cession, led by the biack general staff that so recently echoed that stirring slogan ‘Who but Hoover.’” Christian Segregation The New York Age says: “The whole business of segregation on account of color in organizations for Christian work is inconsistant and rediculous in the extreme.” Boy Scouts The Chicago Defender says: “The best way to check the growth ‘of crime in America is to remove color barriers in Scout organiza- ‘tiong and in all boy movements.” Satisfied "the ‘Star of Zion says: “There ‘is no hope for a man who is satis- fied with the achievements of the past? Crime Against Haiti The Negro World declares: “A damnable, eeonofic system “has been created which encourages the weak ones to be traitors to them- selves and to their people.” Race Increasing Farm Holdings The Journal and Guide says: “We believe that opportunities for the. trained Negro youth in the field of agriculture ‘are more in- viting, assured and less subject to the accommodations of race preju- dice which retard his progress in ‘more competitive industry. ‘Negro Business Exhibit The Herald ‘and Commonwealth of Baltimore says: “It will be the first. effort of showing all Negro ‘business in Baltimore, and deserves ‘the suppor encouragement o every, colored nian, woman, and ee don't try to break away, either. Ym going to follow behind, and if you try to run away from me I'll plug your rear tire. Sometimes, when I shoot at rear tires, the motoreycle goes over a bump at the wrong moment—well, anyway, you better be careful.” “But what's the idea?” “Attempting to bribe an. officer. It’s still against the law in New York—even if it has become an almost universal Habit.” “You're a bit of a humorist, aren't you, officer?” “Just a’ bit,” the cop agreed, grinning to himself. “Well, surely, old .man, you'll forget that—” But the officer was walking away toward his motoreycle. He | got astride it and motioned imperious- ly. With an imprecation that would haye singed the hair froma cat the man in the gray car obeyed. Presently he arrived before the district police magistrate. “Wassa charge, officer?” this worthy asked, not looking over his spectacles ominously, because he had no spectacles. “Tried to bribe me, yer honor.” “Tried to bribe the cop, did you?” the judge said to the owner of the gray car. ae that man angrily, eyeing ‘the policeman, “AN right, mister; you take ten days in the cooler, without the op- tion of # fine, and there'll also be a cover charge of fifty dollars and costs. ‘The idea.of-anybody think- ing a New York policeman could be bribed!” The cop was grinning: broadly now. Exasperated the man from eo car said to him: “Well, I hope you're satisfied.” “T ain,” returned the cop grimly. “Haven't I seen you somewhere before?” “Sure youhaye. You even spoke to me once before.
