See Blow to Lily Whites in Mann Resignation A. MISS MAZIE HUBBARD, who is one of the leading contestants in the Bison Popularity Contest which is now in progress at Howard University. Miss Hubbard is the daughter of Prof. C. C. Hubbard, principal, Lincoln High School, Sedalia, Mo. Miss Hubbard is a member of the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. The truth that bad luck is good luck sometimes was evidenced when Charles Chase, who gave an address on Tenth street, dropped a gallon of alleged whiskey he was carrying and received a five dollar fine instead of the five-year sentence provided under the Jones Act for transporting intoxicants. Chase was sighted on the street by a patrolman as he was walking on Vermont avenue, northwest. The officer gave chase and the fugitive in his haste to escape dropped his precious cargo. He halted and looked remorsefully at the liquid as it trickled down the sewer. "That sure is hard luck, officer," he declared, "that was powerful expensive liquor." Chase was charged with breaking glass in the street and he never realized just how fortunate he was until Attorney Bernard Jackson explained that if he had been captured with the gallon jug intact he would have faced the five year sentence for transporting liquor, under the Jones law. "Why man," said Chase, "I never heard of any Jones law, when was it passed?" He got off with a five dollar fine. Says White Policeman Transferred Property Seeking to recover $750 damages allowed him by a Circuit Court jury recently on a charge of false arrest, Marshal Fletcher, one-armed man, Monday, filed a judgment creditor's bill in the District Supreme Court against Policeman Frank B. Owens, white, and his wife, Mrs. Nellie V. Owens, of 1604 Girard street, northwest. In the suit against Owens, Fletcher charged he was arrested after being accused of laughing at the way the policeman directed traffic on March 11, 1927, and charged with assault. The charge was dismissed in Police Court, and on February 8 last, he was awarded $750 damages by a jury. In the bill filed through Attorney Fred Rhodes, Fletcher alleged that Owens had transferred property to his wife on March 25, 1927, to prevent collection of damages. Professional Men At Tuskegee Meet Several local physicians are assisting in the plans for the eighteenth annual meeting of the National Negro Health Clinic at Tuskegee Institute, April 7 to 13.

He was arrested on a charge of reckless driving after taking Dr. Willon to Garfield Hospital. Dr. Willon was treated for a broken leg and fractured vertebra. PROVES TO BE GOOD LUCK WHEN MAN SPILLS EVIDENCE ATTITUDE OF HOOVER ON RACE IS QUESTIONED Will His Plea for Law Enforcement Include 14th and 15th Amend- Will the Law Enforcement Commission suggested by President Herbert Hoover in his inaugural address consider the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments of the Constitution as well as the Eighteenth? That q question became more important when the President announced last Friday that the proposed commission "is intended to cover the entire question of law enforcement and organization of justice." The full text of the statement made by President Hoover in reply to questions by newspaper men is as follows: Entire Machinery "The purpose and scope of the law enforcement commission, as stated in my inaugural address, is to critically consider the entire Federal machinery of justice, the redistribution of its functions, the simplification of its procedure, the provision of additional special tribunals, the better selections of juries, the more effective organization of our agencies of investigation and prosecution. "It is intended to cover the entire question of law enforcement and organization of justice. It will also naturally include consideration of the method of enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment and abuses which have grown up together with the enforcement of the laws in respect to narcotics, to immigration, to trade restraint and every other branch of Federal Government law enforcement. Better Organization "The whole constitutes one problem of better and more effective organization and enforcement. Such reorganization in various directions, some of them affecting the civil side as well as the criminal side, have been recommended and advocated for years by men of responsibility from the Chief Justices of the United States down to the local bar associations. "The first step in law enforcement is adequate organization of our judicial and enforcement systems." Alimony Set At $25 Justice Peyton Gordon in equity court No. 2, last Friday, awarded Mrs. Mary E. Young, 3152 Stanton road, southeast, $25 a month temporary alimony. Mrs. Young through Attorney John H. Wilson sued her husband, Robert Young, for maintenance for their child, Ethel C. Young, aged 16 years. The couple were married in April, 1905. They separated in 1911. The daughter lives with her mother. Washington Tribune AUTO POI BOB CHURCH IS VICTOR IN PARTY FIGHT Fall of Expected Hoover Lily White Party Seen In Defeat of Colonel Mann According to all reports, Robert R. Church, of Memphis, Tenn., who is making a determined fight against efforts to eliminate the Negro as a factor in Republican politics, has come out victorious in his battle with Col. Horace A. Mann, who handled the south for the Republican party in the recent campaign. Shortly after Mr. Church called at the White House, last Saturday, and talked with President Herbert Hoover, Mr. Mann publicly resigned his connections with the Republican organization. Both has previously talked with the President, Mr. Mann in an effort to get his status fixed and Mr. Church in opposition to any recognition being given the southern campaign cxar. Significance was immediately attached to the visit of Mr. Church to the White House following the call of Mr. Mann. When Mann's name was first mentioned in connection with the Hoover campaign, Mr. Church had declared war on Local Man In Smashup With Texas Senator Failure to recognize the man on the right, Thursday night, resulted in a four-way smash-up, in which four autos were badly smashed and one man badly lacerated. The accident occurred at New Hampshire avenue and S street, northwest, when the west bound car of Senator Morris Sheppard, white, of Texas, mixed up with the southbound car of Samuel Hawkins, 1600 block Corcoran street, northwest. L. Tolentino, driver of Senator Sheppard's car, met Hawkins, on the right, going south. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture R. W. Dunlap and his wife were in their car behind Hawkins, was struck by Hawkins' car. A wheel from Hawkins' car flew off and struck the parked car of Adie Burman, damaging it. R. C. Hall, who was riding with Hawkins, of the 1500 block of T street, northwest, suffered lacerations of the head and hand, and was removed to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was treated by Dr. Simon N. James. Traffic was blocked for half an hour as none of the wrecked cars could be driven away. Hold Honor Assembly At Francis Jr. High An honor assembly was held at the Francis Junior High School this week, twenty-nine students being awarded badges of merit by reason of high scholarship during the past semester. Roy Greenfield was master of ceremonies, introducing Alvin Robinson, Carlyn Wilson, Harold Randolph, Lucy Jones, John Talley, William Bond, Araminta Boyd, and Kernit. These pupils discussed noted scholars of ancient and modern times. Honor students included Robert Ackers, William Bond, Edward Evans, Roy Greenfield, Kelsey Phar, Dorothea Bess, Margaret Cephas, Jessie Doleman, Rheudine Gary, Juanita Jones, Lucy Jones, Francis Kemey, Margaretta McCard, Alma Rich, Jessie Stockton, Irene Smallwood, Lena Thomas, Carlyn Wilson, Edua Higgins, Mansfield Neal, Harold Randolph, Naomi Kersen, Doris Brown, Grace Burton, Araminta Boyd, Margaret Calloway, Annie Daniel, Bertha King, and John Talley. THEY MAY HAVE BEEN RIGHT Several weeks ago when Captain Guy C. Burlingame was placed on trial for conduct unbecoming an officer, Negro residents of the precinct over which he presided were urged to register their complaints against him. The captain is said to have permitted his men to violate many of the laws of personal liberty by raiding Negro homes without warrants, beating them on slight provocation, and other acts of discrimination. "No, sir!" came the answer, "you are all white folks together and you aren't going to do anything to Captain Burlingame, and if we come down there and testify against him he will fix us when he gets out." On this belief Negro racketers remained away from the trial and the expected result happened. Captain Burlingame was exonerated of all charges and reinstated on a wave of public acclaim. He returned to his desk in the second precinct swamped with floral tributes and greeted with the felicitations of his friends. To further prove that politics is an unfanthomable thing, Captain Burlingame is being urged to succeed Major Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent of police, who has asked to be retired. The Negroes of the second precinct used good judgment in keeping out of "white flops" squabbles, but if the charges of prejudiced acts attributed to the captain are well founded, Negroes would do well to take an interest in the new appointment, because a prejudiced superintendent of police is a lot more dangerous than a prejudiced police captain. One Meal Costs Men Sixty-Day Sentence One meal cost three men sixty days each when they were arraigned on charges of larceny before Judge Isaac R. Hurt, in police court, Wednesday. The men are said to have visited the home of Mrs. Lena Fortune, 2520 I street, and finding the table all set and Mrs. Fortune momentally absent as she was entertaining unexpected company in another room, carried off the whole meal of ham, potatoes, bread and other edibles and enjoyed themselves on a corner a short distance off. They gave their names as William Shields, Frank Mann, and James Parker. Sentence was suspended through the efforts of Attorney A. Ware, who declared that they had made restitution for the food. Court Refuses to Squash Second Charges Against Attorney General The Government has refused to nol-pros the second indictment returned against Perry W. Howard, suspended special assistant to the Attorney General and Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, and he and three of his associates are scheduled to go on trial at Meridian, Miss., March 19, on a charge of selling Federal patronage. Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, who personally went to Mississippi and obtained the indictments against Mr. Howard and his associates, has issued orders to Cassedy Holden, an assistant United States attorney at Jackson, Miss., to issue summonses for defendants and witnesses to appear at Meridian March 19 for trial. Mr. Howard, George P. McLelland, James G. Buchanan, and Edward L. Patton are the defendants in the case that will be tried. McLelland and Buchanan are white. Charge Sale of Post The government charges a conspiracy to purchase and sell the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi. Upon Howard's recommendation McLelland was named as the United States marshal. Later McLelland resigned and Howard recommended and had Buchanan appointed. The government claims that there was a cash consideration involved in the appointments of McLelland and Buchanan. (Continued on page 2) Two alleged "stool pigeons" were murdered in cold blood by three men who went gunning, Chicago style, in a high powered motor car and felled their victims with a volley at Bear's Gap alley and G street, southwest, about 2 a.m., Thursday. The men who were shot to death are Clarence Harvey and Edward Smith, both of 224 V street, northwest, said to be police informers who were trying to spot "Lottery" bookies. The gunners are said to have been out to get R. J. Barrett a detective of the, fourth precinct, who has conducted several numbers raids. EXPECT FEW CHANGES IN HOOVER REGIME President Herbert Hoover does not contemplate making extensive changes in the personnel of the executive branch of the government, he declared last Friday. This statement is interpreted to mean that it is not likely there will be any changes in the offices held by William T. Francis, minister to Liberia; Arthur G. Froe, recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia; Judge James A. Cobb, of the municipal court of the District of Columbia; Charles W. Anderson, collector of internal revenue in New York; and Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs. In reply to a question from the press as to whether extensive changes are intended in the personnel of the government, the President said that there were comparatively few changes contemplated. He proposes to adhere to the principles of retaining as many as possible of those public servants who have given honest and zealous service. Delegation Sees Hoover A delegation of fifty persons, headed by John R. Hawkins, who directed the colored voters' division of the Republican national committee in the late campaign, and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, were received at the White House by President Herbert Hoover on last Thursday noon. The President shook hands with each person in the delegation upon presentation by Mr. Hawkins. Takes Gun of Officer Who Tried to Arrest Him One patrolman of the Metropolitan police force is minus his gun. That gentleman is C. H. Ford, of the 13th precinct, who surprised a colored man hiding in the kitchen of the A. & W. root beer store at 5103 Georgia avenue, northwest, Tuesday night, and in attempting to place him under arrest was overpowered and relieved of his weapon. The unidentified man made his escape through a narrow alley, successfully dodging the bullets of Officer J. S. Titus, who came to his comrade's assistance. It is not known whether the man was in the store for the purpose of stealing or just to keep warm, but it is thought that if he is a bandit the revolver will prove serviceable in identifying him. SMITH FREED IN LIB'RTYB'ND CASE $41000 Liberty Bond Theft Charles Nol-Prossed By Court The Government last Saturday mol proclaimed the case against Eros B. Smith, 2615 Sherman avenue, northwest, charged with the theft of $41,000 in Liberty Bonds from the office of the Register of the Treasury, where he was formerly employed. The action of the government came as a surprise. Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy was sitting in criminal court No. 1, to hear arguments from the prosecution and the defense on the question of whether defense counsel, Attorneys Houston & Houston, had the right to file a double plea in behalf of their client. Two Pleas Entered Attorneys Houston and Houston had entered on March 2 for their client a plea of not guilty to the indictment and also a plea that the prosecution of the case against Smith was barred by the statute of limitations, more than three years having elapsed between the time the crime was alleged to have been committed and the date the indictment was returned. The indictment charged Smith with the theft of forty-one $1,000 Liberty Bonds on August 22, 1919. He was arrested for the offense October 22, 1923. The indictment against him was not returned until November 1, 1923. Between the date the theft is alleged to have occurred and the date of his arrest, Smith remained on duty in the office of the Register of the Treasury. Founder's Son Is Charter Day Speaker at H. U. Attorney Harry S. Howard, of Burlington, Vermont, fifth son of the founder of Howard University, delivered the Charter Day address in Andrew Rankin Chapel on Saturday, March 2. Accompanying Attorney Howard were Mrs. Howard, his sister, Mrs. Joseph Bancroft; and his nice, Mrs. Wm. Moon, of Portland, Oregon. The exercises in the University Chapel consisted of music by the vested choir with a spiritual as a solo by Lester Dorsey. Dean Edward A. Balloch, of the School of Medicine, delivered an address on the history of the university as he had known it from personal contact and observation. The fa.her of Dr. Balloch was General Balloch, who had been closely associated with General Howard during the war, in the work of Freedmen's Bureau as Chief Disbursing Officer and as Treasurer of Howard University. Upon concluding his address Dean Balloch introduced the speaker, whom he had known since childhood. MEN STEAL GIRL RAPED CARS TO AID ON U ST. AT FAMILIES MIDNIGHT Wanted to be Tried on Two Charges, Man Given Wish Weeps on Stand, But Tears Fail to Move Judge, Pair Given Two Years Two brothers charged with being "auto vultures," were committed to two years each in jail by Justice Isaac R. Hitt, following their conviction in police court, Wednesday. The pair was surprised by a police flying squad on the night of March 9, as they were engaged in stripping a stolen automobile of its parts. According to police numerous complaints of automobiles being stolen had been reported and the cars were later found abandoned and completely dismantled of their removable parts. The name of "auto vultures" was applied to the unknown felons, and a special squad was detached to bring them in. The officers were assigned to a high powered machine in which they patrolled the city and nearby highways. Give Chase A long vigil was rewarded on the night of the arrest when they spied Frank Davis, of 2501 Sherman avenue, driving a Hudson touring car from the rear of which protruded new automobile tires. A wild chase ensued as Davis sensed he was being followed, and made a wild dash in and out of side streets to shake his pursuers. The police car, geared for the (Continued on page 2) Better Streets Asked By Southwest Citizens Resolutions requesting the District Commissioners to repave certain streets in the southwest district and asking for more and better street lights, were adopted at the meeting of the Southwest Civic Association, held at Randall Junior high school building on Wednesday evening. Two candidates were endorsed for membership on the Public Utilities Commission. Police protection for children at schoolhouses was also recommended. Walter J. Brooker addressed the association, stressing the need of co-operation among citizens of the southwest section. Henry H. Banks, president of the civic group, presided. WOMEN SHOCKED AT RACE CRIME RATE Two women served on the jury last month for their first time, and they report a wonderful informative experience. They were in criminal courts one and two. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell served in number one, Judge McCoy presiding, and she says: "I was greatly shocked by the large number of colored people who commit crimes. Especially was I surprised at the large number of colored people who commit murder. The murders seem to have no regard for the lives of representatives of their own race. I think the colored people of the National Capital should start a drive against crime. Comparatively few white came before the court while I was on the jury." Mrs. Marion Butler served in number two, under Judge Siddons. She was surprised at the large number of colored men and women in court and said there was not a white woman up for trial in number two in February. Police are combing the northwest section of the city in an effort to locate and apprehend the man who attacked Miss Florence Eliza Stewart, of 910 Princess street, Alexandria, Va., and criminally assaulted her late Monday night while she was waiting for a street car at the corner of Fifteenth and U streets, northwest. According to the story related to Captain Dove of the number eight precinct, the young woman was standing at the corner waiting for a car to carry her to her place of employment, when the man, clad in a sweater across which was inscribed "Howard" passed her, she declared, but stopped and called for her to come to the edge of a small alley, where something evidently arrested his attention. Feeling secure in the protection of the street lights, she complied out of curiosity and approached the narrow street. Dragged Into Alley Without warning the man, who is described as being about 23 years of age and of muscular build seized her bodily and dragged her ruthlessly into the narrow street, stifling her cries with his hand. There, according to the young woman's story, her clothing were torn and she was badly bruised and scratched as the man perpetrated the assault. When freed the girl notified an officer of the occurrence and was conveyed to the Freedmen's Hospital for treatment. Hospital authoriles testified as to the condition of the girl's apparel and other effects of the assault. The young woman declares that in spite of the poor lights she can identify her assault and gave police a minute description of the man. The speaker at Howard University next Sunday morning will be Prudent Mordecia W, Johnson. The choir will render special music. William Swoop, 55, knew more about his own affairs than the court officials, it was proven when he was arraigned in the police court Monday when he insisted upon pleading guilty to two charges, although there was only one charge recorded against him. "I am guilty on both charges, your honor," declared Swoop as he was presented before Judge Robert Mattingly on a charge of striking his sister-in-law, Mrs. Josephine Payton, with a stove lifter. All of the court's explanations could not convince the prisoner to alter his plea and he was sentenced to 30 days in jail after Mrs. Payton had related how he returned to the home drunk and attempted to wreck the house. That Swoop was right was shown when a few minutes later Mrs. Lorrain Kirby appeared in court and told the judge that Swoop had obtained $17,75 from her on false pretenses when he represented himself to be the agent of an apartment house with which he had nothing to do. She had paid the money to Swoop for rent and upon hearing of his arrest preferred charges against him. He was sentenced to 60 days more. Segregated School Case Brought Before Supreme Court Chinese Boy Grows Up While High Court Delays TWO Oriental Petitions to Enter White Schools of Mississippi The Supreme Court of the United States in a decision without an opinion rendered Monday held that the controversy involved in the case of Joe Tin Lun, a Chinese citizen, had become moot. It reversed the judgment of the Circuit Court of Coahma County, Miss., and directed it to dismiss the petition of the native-born Chinese. Joe Tin Lun sought a writ of mandamus to compel the State Superintendent of Education of Mississippi to allow him to attend a white school. He brought his suit under the Fourteenth Amendment of the Federal Constitution. Decision Reversed The Circuit Court of Coahoma County found that the facilities of the colored schools were not equal to those of the white schools and granted the petition for the writ of mandamus. Upon appeal to the State Supreme Court this decision was reversed. At the time the suit was filed in 1922, Joe Tin Lun was 15 years of age. He became 21 years old sometime in 1928, and now has no right to attend the public schools of Mississippi. It was upon this technicality that the Supreme Court of the United States avoided passing upon the question of the right of a Chinese citizen to attend a white school where equal facilities are not provided in the colored schools. TUNGAR BATTERY The Tungar Battery and Electric Station, for the past several years located at 701 R street, northwest, has moved to its new home at 1214 U street. Mr. John D. Joyner, owner, has equipped his new place with all the latest machines for the repairing of batteries for automobiles and radios. Mr. Joyner is a pioneer in this business up town.

Newman, paid tribute to Colonel Charles Young, before his grave in Arlington National Cemetery, on Tuesday March 12, the sixty-fifth anniversary of his birth. Colonel Young reached the highest rank of any Negro, graduating from West Point, in the regular service. He was born in Kentucky, March 12, 1864, and became second lieutenant in the Tenth Cavalry in August, 1889. As an officer in cavalry, infantry, engineering and administrative duties, both at home and abroad, in war and peace, Colonel Young made an enviable record, and was retired for physical disabilities, June, 1917; dying January 8, 1922 at Lagos, Nigeria, Africa. Colonel Young commanded a troop in the Philippines in 1901, and 1908; guided an expedition in Mexico in 1916; superintended Sequioa, General Grant and Presidio national reservations, to 1928; acted as military attache at Monrovia, Liberia, Africa, 1912 to 1915, for which he was awarded the Spingarn Medal for Negro achievement. He served as professor of military science at Wilberforce University Ohio, 1894 to 1898. New Trustee Captivates Howard Student Body On Friday, at noon, Dr. Jacob Billikopf, recently elected to the Howard University Board of Trustees, delivered one of the most unique and impressive addresses heard at Howard University in recent years. MEN STEAL CARS emergency, overhauled the fugitive and after a grilling he consented to lead them to the place where his brother, George Davis, of the same address, was stripping an automobile. Heavily Armed Police found a new Buick sedan void of tires and other accessories removed preparatory to carrying away. Upon searching the pair they were found to be armed with revolvers and blackjacks. A vertable arsenal was placed on the desk of Judge Hitt when the pair was arraigned. Weeps on Stand Both of the men admitted to previous convictions as auto thieves. George served a term for a similar offense in Baltimore, while Henry has been convicted in the local courts. Both men are expert mechanics and can strip an auto in short order. Their automobile contained special tools for the purpose. Henry wept on the witness stand as he related to Judge Hitt how he was forced to pursue his course because he could not obtain employment. His wife was ill, he declared, and his babies were hungry, and he could not bear to see them suffer. The man's plea for leniency did not effect the decision of the court, who sentenced both to two years each and ordered the probation department to notify the Associated Charities to investigate the man's family.

MARRIEDAGAINST WILL; WANTS SUPPORT Wife Says She Could Not Resist Mate's Pleas Because of Shock Mrs. Alice Dilworth, 413 Third street, southwest, filed suit in the District Supreme Court, Monday, against her husband, Thomas Dilworth, a barber, 714 Fourteenth street, northwest, for separate maintenance. In her bill of complaint, Mrs. Dilworth says that her former husband died December 6, 1924. Shortly afterwards her only daughter was taken from her to St. Elizabeth's Hospital, a government institution for the insane, she states. As a result of these troubles, she says, she suffered from shock and while in this condition her resisting powers were overcome and the defendant persuaded her to marry him. Spent Her Money He spent the money left her by her former husband, Mrs. Dilworth charges. She gave him $375 to purchase a used car, she claims. She does not know what the car cost but from its looks, she says, she does not believe it cost that much. After their marriages, she says, they purchased premises No. 1010 S street, northwest. She contributed $950 to the initial payment, she claims. The house rents for $72.50 a month, while the monthly payments on the balance of the purchase price are only $50, she says. Her husband has failed to account for the difference, she states. She has to purchase fuel, food and clothing out of the money left her by her former husband, Mrs. Dilworth charges. Conducts Shop She charges that her husband uses his occupation as a boss barber to stay away from home especially on holidays and late at night. He conducts his own shop at the Fourteenth street address, and recently he disposed of a shop at Ninth and N streets, northwest, she says. She does not know what his monthly earnings are. The couple were married February 2, 1926. They separated February 7, 1929. Mrs. Dilworth is represented by Attorneys Tigner and Peterson.

MARCH 15. 1929 When President Coolidge signed the appropriation bill, March 4, he thereby gave Howard University an increase of $65,000 for additional teachers next year. The total appropriation of $600,000 for Howard includes an item of $225,000 for salaries. This increase will give additional instructors in the College of Education, Liberal Arts and Applied Sciences. Following a survey, the United States Bureau of Education recommended the employment of additional teachers and fellows and laboratory assistants to relieve the heavy teaching loads borne by the university instructors. The larger classes can now be apportioned and new classes formed as the enrollment may demand. Another item gives $240,000 for a chemistry building. With $150,000 already on hand for this building, they have $390,000 for a modern building. An additional $40,000 was added to the $150,000 for a girl's dormitory, which will give Howard two new buildings next year.

When I went to college I weighed 95 pounds, so I decided to try Cardul, and when the school year was up, I weighed 130 pounds. "I would advise any person who is nervous, weak and in a run-down condition to take Cardul, for I am sure it will do them good. "After taking the Cardul, I am not nervous any more, and I am in the best of health."

NEW HOWARD TRIAL (Continued from page 1) Howard and Patton were acquitted on charges of bartering Federal patronage at the Jackson, Miss., term of the United States district court in December. Blame Factional Politics The defendants claim that factional politics is the cause of their indictment and prosecution. The indictments were not returned until immediately after the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., last June. It is alleged that they were prompted by the desire of Lily-wise Republicans to rid the party in Mississippi of Negro leadership. Mr. Howard is the only Republican national committeeman who has been indicted on charges of bartering Federal patronage. 1 ```markdown ``` SOUTHERN AID BUILDING 1901-3 Seventh Street, N.W.

Recently he announced that he would devote the remainder of his life to squelching Mann. Mr. Church regarded Col. Mann as a lily white and held him responsible for the progress of the lily white movement in the South. All White Organization In each of the southern states under his jurisdiction, Col. Mann set up an all-white organization to handle the campaign locally. Colored men who were prominent in Republican politics in those states were ignored and known lilies were put in charge. Race, religion and prohibition were made the issues in these states despite the declaration of Chairman Hubert Work of the Republican national committee that the Republican party would not indulge in this kind of a campaign. Separate Buildings Mr. Mann maintained offices in the Munsey building here. The Republican national committee had its offices in the Barr building. The colored voters' division of the Republican national committee was located on the first floor of that building. It was said that Mr. Mann kept his offices in the Munsey building in order to avoid embarrassment to southerners who might wish to talk politics with him and to keep them out of touch with the colored situation. Wanted Full Power As a result of his tactics, four states of the "Solid South" went Republican. Col. Mann then sought to have himself set up as a referee of Republican patronage in the south. Mr. Church saw that if this were done, it would mean the passing entirely of the Negro as a factor in Republican politics in the south. He renewed his fight against him. Wanted Status Fixed Mann sought to have the executive committee of the Republican national committee in session here last week fix his status. The executive committee is reported to have turned down his demand. He had a conference of 45 minutes with President Hoover. The understanding is that the President tried to satisfy him with the offer of a job, which was declined.

Mann had sought a truce with Church before his passing, but the latter had refused to cease hostilities even temporarily. Assures Negro Leadership The victory of Church came at a reassuring time. Reports were being circulated that the executive committee of the Republican national committee had decided there would be no more Negro leader- ```markdown ``` ALL ORDINARY EXTRACTION IT IS NO LONGER NEEDED UNTIL YOU HAVE Many are having their teeth fixe $1 to $2 per week.

Hereafter, the national committee, it was rumored, would sponsor Negro leadership for Negroes but party leadership would be in the hands of white men. To War on Hawkins Simultaneously with the Church victory over Mann has come the report that Mr. Church is to renew his fight against what he has termed "voteless leadership." It is understood that Mr. Church is ready to strike in a battle to the bitter end against Dr. Emmett J. Scott, John R. Hawkins, and Robert R. Moton, who were active in the campaign in 1928. His fight against them will be a continuation of the clash which was begun when they were selected to direct the Republican campaign among colored voters. Mr. Church charges that none of them is a qualified voter.

"Mansion of Mystery," Chapter No. 7 --- ADDISON CAREY IS MAN WHO PLANS HOWARD'S HITS ADDISON CAREY IS MAN WHO PLANS HOWARD'S HITS Producer Only Takes Six Hours to Plan Entire Two-Hour Offering By Ralph Matthews Theatre-goers who marvel as week after week the Howard Theatre stock company can present a complete two-hour change of show at the Monday matinee without a hitch after working another show up to Sunday midnight might be interested to know that only six hours' rehearsal is needed for the change. This is due mostly to the able planning and direction of Addison Carey, young producer, who is the power behind the throne and the force that has guided the company to its unusual successful run of eleven weeks. Likes His Gang Mr. Carey, a retiring chap, has a peculiar aversion to appearing in public and is content to remain inconspicuously behind the scenes and let what glory there is go to his performers. "They are fine bunch," he said off hand, "and the hardest thing a producer has to fight when his company enjoys a long run is 'big head.' So far I haven't seen any symptoms of this ailment yet," he added. Picks Best Talent Carey, who conducts a booking office in New York, keeps his coworkers busy looking for the best talent available for his presenta- Boy Who Swiped Bread and Milk Here, Returns a Star are given to rehearsal. On Sunday night three hours more are consumed in a dress rehearsal. This makes a total of six hours, and the offering is ready for Monday. Mr. Carey goes to New York once a week and selects his costumes personally. He defies any of the Howard patrons to give instances where any of his material has been pirated from other shows. Clever Artists In Shelton Brooks, Charles Ray, Putney Dandridge, Galli DeGaston, and the hard working chorus of Howardettes, Mr. Carey has an aggregation of artists hard to be excelled, and by confining each to his particular talents he is able to get the best out of them. Mr. Carey says he is about eight shows ahead already. Miller and Lyles In London Flournoy Miller and Aubry Lyles, comedians, better known as Miller and Lyles, opened last Monday at the Victoria Palace in London and were warmly received. Although well known musical comedy stars and headliners on this side, they are unknown to the other, and may improve as they play their engagements. - PIANO ROLLS - SUPPLIES CENTURY EDITION STEET MUSIC — 15c COPY Shinberg's MUSIC SHOPS For your $1303 - 77 ST.

Turner fell into the hands of the law only a few hours after President Coolidge signed the Jones act, March 2. Precinct Detective Boxwell and Dowd of the sixth precinct covered an informer who entered the home of Turner, where he is said to have purchased two pints of milk. Marked money, according to the police report, was found on Turner when he was searched at the station house following his arrest. Two colored persons were also held for the grand jury in police court late Monday under the Jones law. They were Gettrude Lloyd and Eldridge Davis. They were held in bonds of $2,500 each for sale and transportation. Joseph E. Mitchell, who was arrested with James F. Edelin, Francis Holly and James E. Ross, pleaded guilty to possession and was fined $100. Lawrence E. Moss, 31, 1443 Q street, northwest, was fined $500 by Judge Hitt for a second offense. He was charged with illegal possession.

The Poets found it difficult to gage the unfamiliar basket during the first half, but were able to keep close to the heels of the Delaware boys and at this stage of the game was 16 all. The Red and Black quint started the second half with a vengeance and chalked up four straight baskets before their opponents could get under way. With slow precision this lead was cut down, however, and the visitors only tallied with four more goals throughout the game, while Howard took a total of 16 points to win the game. This encounter was Dunbar's tenth defeat of the season. They are to meet the Wilmington team in a return engagement in Washington on Friday, March 15. WHITE SLAVERY By Josua Manning By Joshua Manning There is probably no more sinister force in the world today, than that of the organized white slave traffic. The girl victims of these fiends are generally reached through the "Want Ad" columns of the newspapers. The ad is seeking chorus girls and dancers (no experience necessary). The agent will explain that he is getting a theatrical troupe ready for some foreign country. The girls sign contracts which nine out of ten times they do not read. With high hopes and visions of a successful career, the girl starts on her journey. At her destination she will discover her mistake, but by this time it is too late. The question that those who have not studied the problem ask is, "Is there still a traffic in women and girls?" They have heard vague stories of the "White Slave Traffic" as it existed years ago, and the name arrested their attention; but they have probably come to the conclusion that what was once only too true is now a thing of the past, lingering in melodramatic form in the popular novel and motion picture. But such is not the case. Every Christian should do everything in his power to crush out this evil. The police and federal authorities will always be ready to hear any information you might have on this menace. PLAN SCHOOL PAPER Preparatory to the first issue of the school paper, this year, Mrs Charles M. Thomas, sponsor, addressed the Wednesday assembly on the value of journalism, calling attention to the modern necessity of knowing how to write and read accurately.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1929 BORDENTOWN TOURNEY NEARS CLOSE BORDENTOWN, N.J.—Stormy arguments in the North Jersey sector and close play in both North and South Jersey districts brought the Bordentown State Basketball Tournament into the final round last week, and four teams are now preparing for their trip to Bordentown on the 15th for play in the junior and senior divisions. Titan Bears of Orange led Tuxedo of East Orange for practically an entire game, to be tied in the last minute during a hectic game at Titan Hall. Jesse Miles' surprising athletes who had previously upset the dope by winning over the strong Montclair "Y" outfit, then snatched a three point lead in the extra session and held it until the last minute, when Tuxedo approached to within one point by sinking a long shot. Pandemonium reigned when the timer's whistle sounded, "Mars" Hill, of Tuxedo, claiming that forty-five seconds yet remained to be played. A timer's watch whose minute hand pointed exactly to five while the second hand pointed to fifteen seconds was the reason for the argument. Official protest resulted in the final score being upheld as reading, Titan, 33; Tuxedo, 32. Steward To President Is Whitelaw Manager The officers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, representing the new management of the Whitelaw Hotel, announce with very great satisfaction that they have been able to secure the services of Charles B. Lee as general manager. Mr. Lee has served as steward to four presidents—President Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and Harding. During the past four or five years he has been reception clerk for the U. S. Shipping Board, with headquarters here in Washington. Mr. Lee has proceeded to surround himself with a personnel promising to patrons of the Whitelaw a service formerly unsurpassed at this hostelry if, in fact, it has been surpassed by any colored hotel throughout the country. His wife, Mrs. Mary Lee, is to serve in an advisory managerial relation. A matron formerly employed at the Wardman Park Hotel has accepted a similar position at the Whitelaw. The management has also secured a chef of wide reputation, thereby promising service of a character not before approached in the world of Negro hotels. The place has been renovated from top to bottom. Four coats of paint have been put on the walls of the dining room alone, which has been beautifully decorated. All of the floors have been recovered, and a modern barber shop is to be established with Mr. Farr in charge. Beginning with the last of March, the dining rooms will be available for teas and dances. Mr. Lee announces that the Whitelaw will boast the prettiest dining room in the city of Washington, barring none, when the present improvements have all been made. Already, thousands of dollars have been spent in repairs and improvements, and it is the promise of the management to continue to spend until the Whitelaw represents the ideal they have in mind. The management of the Whitelew is installing one of the finest radios made, the Kolster, costing nearly $1,000, through Reid's Music Store, Washington's colored department store, corner Eleventh and U streets.

"Conquest" stars Monte Blue in his first talking role, and he is ably supported by Lois Wilson, H. E. Warner, Edmund Breese and Tully Marshall. It is a story of two aviators who would conquer the South Pole by air. A flight similar to that in "Conquest" is at present under way, that one led by Commander Byrd. "Conquest" is a stark melodrama of the frozen Antartic. The two aviators never relent in their hate of each other, even in the face of death. And a girl teaches them that conquest of self is the greatest conquest. Don't forget — "Conquest" is Warner Bros.' latest 100 per cent all-talking picture.

Mr. Johnson declares he is "the logical candidate" since he was defeated by only 8,000 votes. Will Harlem rise to its opportunity? DePRIEST FOR D. C. COMMITTEE TWO PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSIONERS When the Senate failed to endorse President Coolidge's eleventh hour list of appointments, it left a commissioner off the Public Utilities Commission, whose term expired March 4. Since another term expires June 30, it will give President Hoover two places to fill, in a short time, and both of these are civilian commissioners. The various city organizations of the District have the opportunity of selecting a list of persons to be presented the President from which the appointments are to be made. We may realize the importance of these two appointments, as we consider the decisions which may come before the commission during the next three years. There will be decisions on mergers, valuations, rates, and practices of the two street railway companies, including a bus line or two, which are vital to the citizens here. The inconveniences suffered by the citizens at the hands of the two street railways which fail to exchange transfers should impel to activity in securing the right persons for commissioners. The Poll Committee has selected nine names from which it hopes to have the Commissioners selected. There are two men on the list of the Poll Committee who are and have been favorable to colored people, and for whom most of the citizens allied with the Federated Civic Associations are casting their votes—William M. Clayton and William A. Roberts. Both of them are lawyers of experience and have been interested in and connected with civic association work. Mr. Clayton has been chairman of the Public Utilities committee of the Federation of Citizens Associations for the past seventeen years. Mr. Roberts is senior attorney examiner for the Inter-state Commerce Commission and is vice chairman of Public Utilities Committee of the Federation, and stands right on race relations. We propose their names for appointment. The poll will close April 4, and on April 6, the Poll Committee will certify the names of five leading nominees, to President Hoover, asking his consideration of them in making his appointments to the Public Utilities Commission.

NEW YORK NEWS COMMENTS ON HOOVER'S CABINET New York News thinks well of Hoover and his cabinet: "President Hoover is all right at heart.

U.S. zen is here to stay, he realizes that the only way out is to encourage and to raise the colored race to the stature of full and equal American citizenship. We believe that in his great heart he intends through his magic "Presidential wand" to speed that progress by giving them practical encouragement. We look for an era of unrivaled progress for colored Americans under President Hoover. We congratulate him upon the high qualities of his Cabinet." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MARCH 15. 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL My landlady and I disagree on things. She, a pleasantly plump lady with silver tinted hair, a determined air, saucy and settled, has a none too exalted opinion of the rising generation in general and this humble member in particular. She thinks we are too brazen, too fresh, too this, and too, in short the young folk of today are a mighty worthless lot, my landlady thinks. Naturally I don't agree with her. That's a bad habit we column writing fellows have of going around issue with folk who think they are right. But I congratulate myself on having discretion enough not to let my natural urge get the better of my good judgment and tell her that I thought she was just an old fogie. No scree! It is hardly good taste to call folks old ogies when you owe them rent. So far as she knows, I agree with her perfectly. So far as she knows, I too think the modern youth is nothing worth writing home about. So far as she knows, our opinions are in perfect accord. So far as she knows, I think she is right, but back here on the back page where she will probably never look I can express my real opinions with immunity. But, you who are interested in my well-being might ask, what if she should read this? Ah! fear not, I have spent sleepless nights planning for just such an emergency. Long before this issue leaves the press I shall swipe and hide her reading glasses. Now for the dirty work. (Whispers) My landlady thinks it is wrong for girls to smoke and chew and drink and neck and do other things that girls do nowadays. My landlady thinks that girls should kick their boy friends out of the parlor at least by eleven. She thinks it awful for girls to visit bachelor apartments. She thinks it a violation of something or other for a girl to pay her own way to the theatre when she goes with a boy. She thinks auto rides—I mean the kind where the girl does not necessarily walk back—are harmful. She thinks husbands should be true to their wives and wives true to their husbands. No kidding, can you imagine anyone quite so old fashioned as my landlady? Personally, I am strong for the young rascals. I think the reason our grandparents didn't do the things we do now-a-days is due to lack of ingenuity and lack of nerve. They were afraid to tell their mammas and papas to go sit on a tack, like we do. The few tricks they did turn they did them sneaky like. They didn't come out in the open like we do. They were hypocrites. Necking, a slang term for mauling over each other, is nothing to become alarmed about, so far as I can see, and as necking is mostly done in the dark, I can't see very far. It depends on how you feel about it. If the oldsters did not indulge freely in this pastime I attribute so much as to the fact that the girls wore so many clothes that the gay young blades were in constant danger of sticking themselves up with pins. We, today, are hampered by no such antiquated affects because what a flapper can't hold on with a piece of string she leaves off. I admire a girl who has independence enough to pay her own dinner check and pay her way to a show, and if she has independence enough to pay my way also and bring along a package of chewing gum, I admire her all the more. Should girls visit gentlemen's bachelor apartments? That question needs no answer because I never saw a gentleman in a bachelor apartment. But, of course, if she insists, I have no serious objections unless she is the type who carries a fellow's best cigars home to her husband. This is truly a violation of our code of ethics and the Women's Christian Temperance Union should take a hand here if our moral fibre is to remain intact. With all my liberalism, however, I am most heartily opposed to girls going, riding in automobiles with strange young men. There even I, a non-compformist as I am, put my foot down. Every effort should be made by school, pulpit, bench and bar to curb this nefarious evil. Why am I so bitter? I don't own a car. I do not necessarily believe that conventionality is morality. I do not believe that because the majority of people do a thing that it is right. If you want to be converted to my way of thinking, just look at the number of people who snore in their sleep and try to justify it by the ten commandments. With these few remarks I will close, asking for your prayer when I face my landlady. PENNINGS of local OETS during the course of the summer months spent at some northern university.

Sir: The expressions of surprise and horror with which certain supervisory school officials greeted the suggestion of the teachers. Union that too much valuable thing is being frittered away in clerical work, educational conferences, and other extra-curricular activities, are fooling nobody who is conversant with conditions in our schools. The surprising feature of the controversy is that the Board of Education appears to be totally ignorant or indifferent to a state of affairs which is rapidly breaking down the morale of the teaching corps. In the wild pursuit of the latest fads and fancies in education, the basic principles of sound education have been entirely submerged and our schools have become laboratories for the testing of half-baked, crack-pot theories. The teachers dread the advent of each new school year because they feel that they are about to be deluged with an avalanche of silly ideas gathered by the supervisory officials Washington Tribune during the course of the summer months spent at some northern university. Among the latest stunts (and it is only one of many) to be inaugurated in the primary department is the initiation of the teachers into the mysteries of carpentry. After finishing her six-hour tour of duty in the classroom, attending a conference or two at the normal school, a meeting in the school where she teaches, an institute at one of the high schools, a parent-teachers' meeting, spending several hours each evening in research work or committee assignments for the directress, preparing her lesson plan for the next day, bringing up to date her attendance register, filling in data for four or five dozen vaccination or birth record cards, the lowly teacher is notified that she is to attend a carpentry class in some remote section of the city and there learn to use a hammer, saw, and chisel, in order that she may in turn impart her knowledge to the five or six-year-old youngsters under her charge. Why not ease up on the teachers? Is it unreasonable to suppose that they might need a few hours to recuperate after such a program? If the supervisors worked as hard as they expect the teachers to do, there would be less cause for complaint. But the supervisors are never too tired to be present at every banquet, dance, reception, or other social function to which their exalted position permit them entrance sans cost. A. J. Valentine.

Do you realize that they would enjoy it, were you to read to them for about thirty minutes. Here are some good books you can secure from the public library to read to the older folks: James Barrie's "Margaret Ogilvy" which is the famous writer's quizzical portrait of his mother. Good for many chuckles. Emil Ludwig's "Genius and Character," short sketches by a long pen on broad subjects. Excellent material for either discussion or argument, or both. Phillips Russell's "Benjamin Franklin, the First Civilized American." He designed stoves for others to enjoy; he composed maxims for others to employ. Recommended to modern "civilized Americans." "Everybody's Pepys," a condensed edition of the famous "Diary," wherein Pepys' cipher lays bare many items of public interest and more of private concern. Hans Christian Anderson's "True Story of My Life," which he relates as though he were telling another fairy story, or folk tale. Called to the attention of those to whom truth is only one 7-league-boot-step from fiction. Of course you may select any book, but these five books are so entraining, as well as informing BARRY FARM NEWS Seeing their first, inauguration parade and ceremonies at the recent inauguration of President Herbert Hoover at the National Capital were two visitors from Greensboro, N.C., Mr. and Mrs. Junius Rooks, of the latter city, stopping with Mr. and Mrs. Levi Brown, 2846 Elvian road.

THE BOYS' GENERAL ASSEMBLY If boys care to organize a civic club after school, it would be well to address The Boys' General Assembly, with offices at 2313 West Lake street, Chicago, Ill.

Wells Addresses Student Body Students of Howard University had an opportunity to hear the Right Rev. William J. Wells, bishop of the Eighth Episcopal District of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, in the Thursday Assembly Hour. Bishop Wells is the youngest man ever elected to the episcopacy in his church and presides over the New England District and the state of Alabama. The principal note of the address was a plea for racial success in contra-distinction to individual achievement. He urged the students to be willing to make personal sacrifice for the general good of the race, success being defined as doing one's level best in the line chosen, with an eye upon the group, an effort which makes enthusiasm imperative. One of the outstanding statements in the bishop's address was, "If we do not Christianize education, education will paganize society." He discountenanced the material objective of education as an unworthy ambition, emphasizing the moral and spiritual values as of greater worth both to the race and the individual.
