Mrs. Lottie Williams, 63 years old, beautiful wife of the late Bert Williams, died Sunday afternoon, at 5:30, at her home, 2309 Seventh avenue, following a long illness of complication. Mrs. Williams has been ill for several months, being confined in the Wiley Wilson Sanitarium, under the personal care of Dr. Wiley Wilson, one of our best medical doctors, and his efficient nurses. Four weeks ago in a much improved condition, Mrs. Williams was removed to her beautiful home where she has been up, seeing her many friends, when early Sunday morning at 3:30, she was taken suddenly ill and complained with a strange feeling in her throat. Dr. Wilson was notified and responded immediately, finding her suffering from a stroke of paralysis of the throat, the second since the death of her husband. Every medical aid was administered but found that death was inevitable, because of her weakened condition. Mrs. Williams is survived by three nieces, Mesdames Lottie Tyler, Laura Boone, and Miss Eunice Shreeves. Funeral arrangements have not been completed. CHANGES IN HAITI EMBASSY CIRCLE Financial Adviser Recalled For Opposition to Extravagance At the request of the Haitian government, Sydney de la Rue, of New York, has been appointed financial adviser to the Haitian republic, succeeding Dr. J. C. Millspaugh, of Michigan, the State Department announced last Wednesday. Frank B. Kellogg, Secretary of State, refused to comment on whether he had asked Dr. Millspaugh to resign. Other State Department officials admitted friction between Dr. Millspaugh and authorities in Haiti, both American and native, but declined to say whether his resignation was voluntary. Relations Strained According to Capt, Napoleon B. Marshall, who served for six years as a clerk in the United States Consulate at Port au Prince, relations between Dr. Millspaugh and General John H. Russell, the American high commissioner, were strained. He declares that General Russel urged the State Department to request the resignation of Dr. Millspaugh because the latter had attacked official extravagance on the part of the American military officers governing Haiti.

PLANS READY FOR NMA CONVENTION Many Facilities Placed At Disposal of Medical Association NEWARK, N.J.—The local committee of arrangements, which is making preparations for the meeting of the National Medical Association in Newark, August 26 to 30, 1929, has been very active in arranging the details for the convention. Practically all plans for the entertainment of the delegates are now completed, and it is the desire of the local committee to make this meeting of the National Medical Association the greatest in the history of the organization. To Use City Hospital A committee, composed of Drs. P. M. Murray, J. A. Kenney, T. H. Wright, H. S. Palmer, and W. W. Wolfe, recently met with the superintendent and board of directors of the Newark City Hospital. The hospital officials very readily and willingly granted them the use of the entire hospital plant for holding clinics; and the committee has arranged a program of clinics, which will last all day Wednesday and Thursday foronow. These clinics will represent almost every phase of modern medicine and surgery, and they will be conducted by representative physicians and surgeons of both races. Dr. Walter Gray Crump, of New York, and (Continued on page 7) Perry Howard Off To Face New Trial Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and suspended special assistant to the United States Attorney General, left last Thursday night for Jackson, Miss., preparatory to going on trial at Meridian, Miss., March 20, on a charge of bartering Federal patronage. He left here with Robert R. Church, Tennessee political leader, who was returning to his home in Memphis. Two Face Jones Law Paul Davis, 27, and Clifton Coleman, 22, were held for the grand jury in $2,500 bail each by Judge Isaac R. Hitt in police court last Wednesday under the Jones prohibition enforcement law. They are charged with the sale of a pint and possession of a quart of liquor. They were arrested by eighth precinct police at 1831 Fourteenth street, northwest. Police said they saw the men sell a pint of liquor to John Moore. Washington Tribune Want SEV FIVE ARE HELD IN "STOOL" DEATHS Quintet Confess Being Occupants of Death Car; Two Men Slain A coroner's jury, Monday, ordered five held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the killing of two police informers, Clarence Harvey and Edward Smith, on the night of March 13. The men held are Thomas Brown, 19, 405 Forty-seventh street, northeast; Lawrence Bias, 26, Fairmont Heights, Md.; Cornelius L. Lyons, 32, 62-A N street, southwest; Theodore Smith, 24, 57 Calvert street, Annapolis, Md.; and William Bradley, 35, 4408 Dix street, northeast. The coroner's jury found that the two police informers died from gunshot wounds and held the quintet responsible for the shooting, which resulted in the deaths. Had Marked Money At the time of the shooting the two police informers were on their way to play the "numbers" with marked money. They had just left the fourth precinct station house. Precinct Detective R. J. Barrett had given each of them marked 25-cent pieces with which to make the plays. That was the testimony of a third informer, Jesse Kendall, 909 N street, northwest, who was with them but escaped uninjured. Threatened Him Kendall identified Bradley as the man who had accosted Harvey earlier when they were seen coming (Continued on page 2) DePriest Endorsed by Southern Civic Asso. The Southern Civic Association which met Tuesday night in Lincoln School, adopted a resolution requesting Congress to appoint Representative Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, to the House District Committee at the beginning of the long session next December. The association endorsed Wm. M. Clayton and Fred. S. Walker for appointment to the Public Utilities Commission and directed that an endorsement be sent to the Community Chest, favoring the appointment of Dr. Dorothy C. Boulding to the board of trustees. KENTUCKIAN WANTS FROE'S JOB LOUISVILLE, Ky—On the basis of the large majority, 180,000, given Mr. Hoover last fall and the fact the Negro vote was solid for him, and because Kentucky is a debatable state, having gone Republican only three times, the Negro voters are demanding a Presidential appointee. They claim Mr. Freo has been in office for eight years and feel that he will resign soon. Therefore the Republican delegation in Congress is reported to be united on recommending Dr. W. T. Merchant, of this city, for the appointment of Recorder of Deeds. STUDENTS HEAR AMAYLLIS CLUB At a special assembly on Monday, March 11, the girls of Cardozo High School were addressed by members of the Amaryllis Club who chose "Responsibility" as their theme. Responsibility in the home, in the school, and in the community were the topics discussed by Carrie Shamwell, Pauline Butler, and Corrine Baylor, respectively. A short introductory talk was given by Odessa Stewart, the president of the Amaryllis Club, which is composed of the sen- DENY MANN ISOUT OF POWER IN WAR WITH BOB CHURCH New York World Says Effort is Being Made to Coordinate Negroes and Whites in Tennessee Taking issue with an article appearing in the Washington Tribune of Friday, the New York World, Sunday, denied that Col. Horace A. Mann, Lily White leader of Tennessee, had been completely routed from Republican political leadership in the state by Robert R. Church, Sunday. The World says in part: "Col. Horace A. Mann, who claims credit for breaking the Solid South in the last Presidential election, is still active here and friends assert he was responsible for the choice of Patrick J. Hurley of Oklahoma, for Assistant Secretary of War; Ernest Lee Jannhcke of Louisiana as Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and Sidney Brown as Internal Revenue Collector for the Tampa district of Florida." "Negro leaders here asserted today that a vital race question is involved in the Administration's attitude toward Col. Mann. Robert R. Church, wealthy Negro politician of Tennessee, opposing Mann, reported to the President that the Negroes of the Nation resent the Mann program to promote the Lily-White movement in the South. The Church-Mann controversy has been raging for weeks. Mann's announcement a few days ago that he would drop out of the picture brought a declaration today from the Washington Tribune, Negro publication, that Church had emerged the victor." Quotes Tribune Quoting from a political article by Louis R. Laurier, the Tribune's political authority, the World says: "According to all reports, Robert R. Church, who is making a determined fight against efforts to eliminate the Negro as a factor in Republican politics," the Tribune said, "has come out victorious in his battle with Col. Horace A. Mann. Shortly after Mr. Church called at the White House and talked with President Hoover, Mr. Mann publicly resigned his connection with the Republican organization." Cite New Plants Plans for the new Hoover party as contemplated were outlined as follows: "It was explained here today that Mann had joined forces with Glenn B. Skipper, Republican National Committeeman, to route the old George Bean faction of the party. This will be achieved by organizing the so-called "Hoovercrats"—anti-Smith Democrats, and the Skipper Republicans. "President Hoover is considering other Southern appointments, and expects to announce some next week. He is trying to avoid a clash of Lily-Whites and Negro leaders in Southern states where white and colored Republicans have worked together for years." School Plans Opposed The plans of an eight-room addition to the Burrville school, calling for classrooms on the basement level, were opposed by the Northeast Boundary Civic Association, Tuesday night. Bids for the erosion of the addition were opened Tuesday, and a bid for $129,000 being the lowest was opposed because Congress had appropriated $180,000 for the addition. H. D. Woodson made the report on this. A committee was named to wait on the Commissioners Friday, and subsequently on the Board of Education, the Bureau of the Budget and Congress, if it is necessary to have the plans redrawn. The committees include Dr. J. A. Porter, president; H. D. Woodson, Z. D. Ramsauer, Mrs. Carrie Knox, Heard on the Air Here ASSONA DE BIMACA HENRY J.

Old Age, Like Youth, Has Its Fling Too, Report Shows Echoes of ante-bellum days were heard in two sections of the country last week when a man, 106, and a woman, 102, broke into public print in Detroit and Louisville, respectively. To prove that old age like youth also has its fing we quote the two stories here below. DETROIT, Mich.—A Negro who claimed to be 106 appeared in Recorder's Court before Judge John V. Brennan in answer to a charge of vagrancy. He insisted he passed his 160th birthday on January 1 last, whereupon court wits professed a belief that he appeared older than that. "Yes," he told the Court, "Ah'll admit Ah did ask a few gemmun on the streets for mebbe a nickel or ten cents. You see, Jedge, when Ah gets to remembrin' them old days down on the plantation, 'long about ninety years ago, when Ah was jes' a little boy pickin' cotton, Ah gets sorts lonesome. An there isn't nothin' like a little drink 'o likker, er mebbe a chaw 'o tobacoy, to raise mah feelin' his ag'n. An Ah'm too old to do much work." Judge Brennan, eveidently was touched by the age, and enthusiasm of the prisoner before the bar dismissed the case, with a smile on his face. As the old fellow shuffled from the court room a spectator shoved a 25-cent piece in his hand. In the corridor outside the court room a crowd of attorneys, witnesses, bondmen and reporters made up a LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Mrs. Frances Gray, 102 years old and blind, was among the few Kentuckians of color who attended the inauguration at Washington. When asked where she was going as she appeared at Seventh street to get on the C. & O., she happily replied, "To the inauguration, and this is my seventh. I attended those of Grant, Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt, Harding and Coolidge." The old warrior continued by explaining that the Republican party had borne her expenses to the later day inaugurals and that she had always been taken care of by the train officials. Mrs. Gray lives at the Old Folk's Home of the Fifth Street Baptist Church on Armory place and for eighty years a member of Fifth Street Baptist Church. During slavery she joined a white church at the age of 12 She was working with a Dr. Price in Graves County, Ky., who was a cousin to Abraham Lincoln, and was sent to his funeral by Dr. Price.

Howard, Republican National Committeeman for Mississippi and suspended special assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, and three co-defendants on charges of bartering Federal patronage was started here yesterday, and resulted in the government asking a continuance on the ground that they could not get a fair trial. The motion of the government for a continuance came as a dramatic climax. The trial of the case had been started and the government was presenting its evidence against the four men whom it is alleged, conspired in the sale and purchase of the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi. Trial Halted Suddenly Miller McGilchrist, a special assistant to the Attorney General, dispatched here by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt. Assistant Attorney General, who personally came to Mississippi and procured the indictments against Howard and his associates, halted the trial. He told Judge Allen Cox, newly appointed and presiding at his first trial, that it was impossible for the government to get a fair trial because local sentiment was overwhelmingly in favor of the acquittal of the defendants. He asked the court to discharge the jury and declare a mistrial. Before this action of the government counsel, Frederick Sullens, editor of the Jackson Daily News, had been cited for contempt of court for publication of an editorial predicting that Howard and the other defendants would not be convicted. Man Ordered to Support Two Minor Children John Lee Preston was placed on probation for one year by Justice Frederick L. Siddons in criminal court No. 2, last Wednesday. Preston was charged with non-support of two minor children. He pleaded guilty. His personal bond was taken to pay to the probation officer $6 a week for the support of his two minor children. Preston is employed in New York. After his indictment he was released pending trial in the custody of his lawyer, Charles E. Robinson. His wife, Mrs. Grace Preston, an employee of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, 2002 Twelfth street, northwest, was the complainant against him. President Hoover Drops Summer White House Plan Mt. Weather, Va., may have appealed to President Coolidge as an ideal "week-end White House," for he signed the bill making an appropriation for that purpose. And it was thought that he had consulted Mr. Hoover since he would be the first to use the retreat. Since Mr. Hoover arrived in the White House, it appears he was not consulted for he does not think so well of the Virginia retreat and will not use it. Then the $48,000 will not be used to repair the buildings there. Consequently when the money is not drawn out of the Treasury by the end of the fiscal year for which it is appropriated, it reverts to the general fund of the treasury and the Mt. Weather plan disappears with CAPITAL EDITION RECOVERING DELICATE OPERATION Pampered Son Had Pneumonia Three Times, But Lives on, Mother Says To be stabbed in the heart, ride about a mile in an ambulance, have your heart lifted out, eight stitches taken in it, rest stored to its place and keep on living, is the experience of Peter Riley, 28, of 384 Dennison place, northwest, who was stabbed Saturday night at Twenty-seventh and I streets, northwest, and carried to Emergency Hospital, where the critical operation was performed. The fact that so few people survive a heart puncture is to this case. Riley was stabbed with a tapering pointed knife which left the wound longer on the outside than it was inside. And, too, it was in the lower, or thick portion of the heart, which helped to keep it pulsating and doubtless prevented excessive bleeding. The wound was long enough to insert the index finger. Riley is about six feet in height and of slender stature. He was considered "delicate" as a child and as a young man. He has had pneumonia three times. His mother, Mrs. Plummer, states that of her six children living, Peter was always favored regarding work on hard tasks. He was employed as the driver of a truck for a firm in Georgetown. He is married. The last report from the hospital states that Riley is doing well. The fact that he has lived nearly a week and is slowly regaining his strength and stamina is a remarkable case. HEFLIN GETS MUD RECEPTION Jeers, Boos, Bottles and Pebbles Hurled at "Nigger Hater" of Senate BOSTON, Mass.—Senator Thomas Heflin, bitter lily white and Ku Klux leader, who makes it his duty to keep the Negro constantly on the griddle in the United States Senate, met with a reception not to his liking when an unknown party hurled a bottle at him following one of his speeches as he was leaving a hall here following a Klan meeting, Monday night. Senator Heflin, speaking under the auspices of Mayflower Klan, No. 2, Realm of Massachusetts, Ku Klux Klan, was greeted with jeers, but there was no other disturbance. The greeting given the senator was much calmer than that given him recently when a large crowd jeered him and boys threw fistfuls of pebbles at his automobile. After leaving the hall Senator Heflin went to his hotel, where he refused to be interviewed. In his speech Senator Heflin charged that the Knights of Columbus had a slogan, "Make America Catholic," and reiterated his charge that the Catholic Church was attempting to have religion taught in all schools of the country. He advocated the stopping of immigration for five years "until we find out who's who in America." Heflin declared that his life had been threatened in an effort to prevent him from speaking here; and he said he had the word of thirty-seven men representing three fraternal organisations that they would avenge him if he was killed. To that promise Heflin gave his hearty support, saying that if his life is ever taken it Occupation of Haiti Rests in Hands of Hoover Senator King Exposes Deplorable Conditions TWO Freedom Wrested From Haitian People by American Capitalists President Herbert Hoover has the power to withdraw American marines from Haiti without authorization from Congress, according to Senator William H. King, Democrat, of Utah. The military forces of the United States have been held in Haiti by Executive authority since 1915, he says, and if the executive department would perform its duty no legislation would be required to compel the withdrawal of the American marines. Deaf to Appeals "But the executive department," says Senator King, "has been deaf to the appeals of the Haitian people and to the liberal sentiment of the United States and has pursued a reactionary and imperialistic policy." Wants Appropriation Cut Off Senator King has sought to engraft legislation upon naval appropriation bills which, if adopted, would compel the withdrawal of the American marines from Haiti. Each year when the Navy Department appropriation bill is under consideration in the Senate, he has offered an amendment which would prohibit the use of any part of the naval appropriation for the maintenance of any officer or enlisted man in the military or naval service in Haiti. People Indifferent He has appealed to the Senate upon many occasions to free the Haitian people from military rule, to withdraw the American marines, and to leave the Haitian people free to pursue their own course and to work out their own salvation. He realizes that his efforts have been in vain. "American bayonets still rule Haiti," he says, "and the American people are indifferent to the imperialistic course of their own government and are deaf to the cries of the Haitian people that they may be liberated from the grasp of a powerful foreign government." Kill 3.000 Haitians Senator King does not blame the American people for their indifference. "They do not know," he declares, "that American battleships took possession of Haitian ports and Amrican military forces waged warfare upon Haitian soil killing more than 3,000 Haitian people. They do not know that since 1915, the Haitian people have been deprived of the right to govern themselves, and have been subjected to the will of the United States; nor do they know that the United States overthrew their government, abolished their constitution, drove their national legislature from their legislative chambers, and have prevented the Haitian people from having any voice in the control of their internal or foreign affairs." Set Up New Government If American battleships and marines were withdrawn from Haiti, Senator King predicts that there would be universal rejoicing among the Haitian people. The few sycophants and parasites who bask in the favor of American military rulers would be thrust aside and the people would set up a government of their own choice, and elect officials who would represent the ideals and carry out the will of the Haitian people," he states. Must Arouse Liberally But he entertains no illusions. "Military control of Haifa," he says, "will continue until the liberal forces of the United States are aroused.

GRAND JURY INDICTS TWO FOR MURDER Greek Restauranter and Man Who Slew Mate To Face Court Two indictments for murder were included in a batch of thirty-six indictments which were returned by the grand jury, Tuesday. James Henry Dyson is charged with first degree murder. He is accused of killing his wife, Ada Dyson, during an argument at his home in the 1200 block of Six-and-a-half street, northwest, February 18 last. He shot her with a pistol. Gus Tokas, a Greek, who was employed in a Greek restaurant at 1857 U street, northwest, was indicted for second degree murder. He ran amuck after an altercation with three youths who went into the restaurant and refused to pay for food they ordered. Tokas ran into U street behind the youths with a butcher knife. He slashed George Washington, an old man who was waiting for a street car at Fourteenth and U streets. Washington died from the effects of the wound October 3, last. Tokas was not indicted for the crime until Tuesday. FIVE HELD IN "STOOL" DEATHS out of a house near one which officers were raiding. Kendall said Bradley told Harvey, "You're the one who put me in. I'll get you." Were In Touring Car The shooting occurred at the intersection of Bear's Gap alley and G street, between Third and Four-and-a-half streets, southwest, March 13. The killers were seated in a large touring car near the curb. They had been following the informers. Smith, mortally wounded, fell where he stood. Harvey, shgt through the chest and lung, ran a block before falling. He lingered at Emergency Hospital, where both men were removed in the police patrol until 3.55 the next morning. Bradley and Lyons were arrested as suspects within two hours after the shooting. Brown, Smith and Bias were arrested by the Annapolis police in the Maryland city Friday on a lookout sent out from Washington. They were found asleep in the home of Vernon Newton. The death weapon, a 45 calibre Smith and Wesson United States Army revolver, was also recovered. Denies Being There Lieut. Edward J. Kelly, chief of the headquarters homicide squad, accuses Brown of doing the actual shooting. All of the men made statements to the police except Brown. He denies being at the scene of the shooting. He says that he was in Annapolis, Md., at the time. Smith, Bias and Lyons made signed confessions. Bradley refused to sign his statement on the advice of counsel. Defense counsel drew out from reluctant Government witnesses that Harvey was picked up by the police on H street, where he fell he had a .32 calibre Iver Johnson revolver clenched in his hand. Three shots had been fired from his revolver. This pistol belonged to Precinct Detective Barrett and had been stolen from the station house shortly before the shooting. Kendall refused to admit that he had seen either of the dead men open a desk and steal the revolver, although he admitted that they were in the room for at least ten minutes before Detective Barrett came in and gave them the marked Watch Tongue For Signs of Illness Your tongue is nothing more than the upper end of your stomach and intestines. It is the first thing your doctor looks at. It tells at a glance the condition of your digestive system—and physicians say that 90 per cent of all sicknesses start with stomach and bowel trouble. A white or yellowish coating on your tongue is a danger signal of those digestive disorders. It tells why the least exertion tires you out; why you have pains in the bowels, gas, sour stomach, dizzy spells. And it's a sign you need Tanlase. This good old reliable medicine has helped thinds who were physical wrecks. See how the first bottle helps you. Tanlac contains no mineral drugs; it is made of barks, herbs and roots—nature's own medicines for the sick. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Your money back if it doesn't help you. Tanlac 52 MILLION BOTTLES USED wrested from the inhabitants of that unhappy land." Liberty of Speech Denied Liberty of Speech Denied Brigadier General John H. Russell, the American high commissioner, is the controlling factor in Haiti, says Senator King. "Judges have been removed and replaced by persons amenable to the authority which dominates the country. The guaranties found in the Haitian constitution have been abolished. The right of assembly has been interfered with. Liberty of speech is denied. A military dictatorship rules the land, and all this has been under the authority of the United States. Natives Leave Land "Thousands of Haitians have left their native land, and many others have been forced from lands which they and their fathers occupied for many years. American capital has acquired control over large areas of fertile lands. The situation is unsatisfactory and the political conditions provoke unrest and deep-seated resentment. Very large loans have been negotiated, and American capitalists have acquired the bonds which have been issued. "The situation indicates a purpose to keep Haiti under American control for an indefinite period." Demands Constitution Senator King urges that the Haitian people be permitted to hold a free and uncontrolled election for the purpose of choosing representatives to a constitutional convention, in order that there might be formed a constitution under which they might enjoy such political rights and such a form of government as to them may seem best. After January 1, 1920 In order that the transition from the military rule to a government of their own might not be too abrupt, Senator King says he would be willing to support a measure that would continue American occupation until January 1, 1930. There is no political partizanship in his criticism of the American occupation, says Senator King. He believes that the administration of Woodrow Wilson committed a great wrong when it sent military forces to occupy Haiti and when it abrogated the Haitian constitution and set up a military rule. He has criticised the Democratic party for its military operations in Haiti as well as the Republican party for the course it has pursued in that country. Authentic information which he has received from Haiti, Senator King states, confirms the statements made by Napoleon B. Marshall, who was a clerk for six years in the United States Consulate at Port au Prince. Capt. Marshall recently resigned and returned to this country. In a recent newspaper article on the American occupation he charged that a mysterious fire burned unaudited accounts and vouchers and that Haitian road making has consulted American convenience rather than Haitian needs. He also charged extravagance on the part of some of the American officials in Haiti. "Let us retrace our steps," pleads Senator King. "Let us return to the Haitian people the country which is theirs. Let us withdraw our military forces and leave the Haitian people in undisputed control of their own government." Phone Lin. 3245-J after 6 p.m. C. F.

Professor Tibbs Comments On Hazel Harrison's Hazel Harrison's recent recital was one of the finest exhibitions of human achievement we have had demonstrated at Howard University, declared Professor Tibbs, of the Department of Music. Miss Harrison is a pianist who possesses technique, temperament, and musical intelligence in an unusual degree. In the playing of the Bach-Petri arrangement of the Concerto and Fugue Miss Harrison showed great strength and masterly musicianship. She has made big strides in the last four years in her artistic development, her technique, always effortless, shows greatly the influence of Busoui with whom she spent a number of years in study. Her playing and interpretation of the Paganini-Liszt Six Etudes money with which to play the "numbers." Smith had a shiny pair of pliers in his hand when he was picked up, it was testified. Trailed Liquor Car According to Lieutenant Kelly, the investigation of the killings under him showed that earlier in the evening of March 13, Bradley, Bias, Brown and Smith left Deanwood following a Dodge automobile that contained some whiskey. They were riding in a Peerless car driven by Bias. At Half and M streets, southwest, officers of the fourth precinct arrested the occupants of the Dodge car and confiscated the whiskey. Attacked and Shot Bradley told the police that shortly afterwards when he was crossing a lot in that vicinity he was attacked by three men, one of whom had a hammer and another fired at him with a revolver. One bullet grazed his foot and another struck him in the shoulder, insulting a flesh wound. He met Bias driving the Prodigies and Bias took him to his girl's home. He looked at his wound, saw it was only a flesh wound, and remained there only about 10 minutes. Sight Men Bradley said he, Brown, Bias and Smith drove to Four-and-a-half and E streets. They saw three men, one of whom Bradley said looked like one of the men who had attacked him. They drove to F street, where he got out of the car. He met Lyons, he says, got in Lyons' car and they drove to G street, where the shooting was going on. **Shooting Ensues** Bias admitted that he was the driver of the Peerless car and told Frenchman New Way Skin In From France comes a New Method that Whitens Dark utes—Yet is not a Bleach Now being used by Thousa iennes—as well as Leaders of New York and Chicago. A young French chemist has created a furore among Parisienne women by introducing a new type of skin-whitener which gives a marvelous whiteness and brilliantly enhances the skin's color. Minute it is applied—your skin becomes many shades whiter. And at the same time it banishes gloss and shine for hours—conceals freckles and blemishes—holds up all the long—heals and soothes skin irritations. Beauty specialists say that never before has there been a skin whitener like this. It is not a bleach and contains no harmful chemicals. It is merely an entirely natural product, it is just rubbed in the skin like vanishing cream. Immediately the appearance of the skin is lightened! Immediately all shine and gloss vanish—offen for 24 hours. On hands, neck and arms it makes them white and smooth. They say it removes gloss and shine and gives that creamy ivory tone so valuable in business and social life. This new discovery is called Fan Tan Creme. It is now being sold in America, but it is not available in the UK. Send no money. When Fan Tan --- CHANGE OF PLEA MAY LOP 5 YEARS OFF OF SENTENCE Man Convicted of Second Degree Murder Pleads Guilty to Manslaughter Attorney John H. Wilson in criminal court No. 1, last Monday, was allowed by Chief Justice McCoy to withdraw a plea of not guilty to second degree murder on behalf of Clarence Patterson and enter a plea of guilty to manslaughter for his client. Patterson was convicted of second degree murder for the killing of Henry Root at No. 35 Fenton place, northwest, September 14, 1928, over a dollar about a whisky transaction. Patterson stabbed Root to death. At the trial Chief Justice McCoy refused to charge the jury regarding the law of manslaughter as requested by Attorney Wilson. Chief Justice McCoy instructed the jury that Patterson was guilty of second degree murder or was not guilty at all. The jury returned virtually the same story as Bradley, other than that while they were on G street, one of the three walked up to them and told them that they were bad men and were looking for three more men to "put in." The shooting started. Brown firing from the north side of the street at the three men who were on the south side. The defendants have retained an array of legal talent who have won renown in the defense of criminals. Bertrand Emerson, Jr., is defending Bradley and Lyons. John H. Wilson is representing Bias, and James A. O'Shea is representing Brown. Smith alone was not represented by counsel at the inquest, but when Coroner J. Ramsay Nevitt asked if he wished to make a statement, Attorneys Emerson, Wilson and O'Shea quickly advised him of his rights and informed the coroner that he did not desire to make any statement. A cordon of police was required to keep the crowd back that had gathered in front of the District Morgue to catch a glimpse of the men who are charged with the murder of the police informers.

O'Shields, of Portersville, Ala., "my mother gave me the first dose of Black-Draught, and I have taken it ever since, when I needed a medicine for constipation. I have used this remedy all my married life, in raising my children. "I have used Black-Draught frequently for heartburn, as I have had spells of this kind, off and on, for years. This follows indigestion, and indigestion comes close on constipation. "I have found that the best way to head off trouble is to begin taking Black-Draught in time. It relieves me of dizziness, tightness in the chest and backache. "By getting rid of impurities, Black-Draught helps to keep the system in good order. I always keep it in the home, and have recommended it to many people, in my time. I always say a good word for a good medicine." Sold by all druggists.

INVEST YOUR RENT MONEY IN KINGMAN PARK! PASTORS REPORT PROGRESSINGOOD WILL PROMOTION National Ministerial Alliance to Send President To Jerusalem Meet The third national session of the National Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance of America which convened in Washington, D.C., March 4-8, came to a close last week after spending five days in hearing reports as to the condition of interracial good-will, educational, economic and industrial status of the country from ministers appointed from forty-two states by governors and ministers elected by ministerial alliances. The findings were that in some of the states interracial good-will, educational, economic and industrial conditions were rather discouraging, in other sections of the country there is a tendency of improvement. The organization went on record to use its influence to foster a program for interracial good-will throughout the country and to be of assistance to humanity along educational, economic and industrial lines as well as religious. To Attend Conference Rev. Chas. L. Russell, the founder and president, was unanimously delegated by the Alliance to the World's Penecostal Conference, which will convene in Jerusalem this summer.

Don't let your houses look rusty because of the lack of paint; don't permit your roofs to leak; fallen down fences look bad; the lack of a bath room is embarrassing; a nice cool porch adds much to any home. All of these things can be easily obtained by any property owner in the District if he will consult me. I will make any repair to your home including painting, papering, installing modern heat and anything else in the way of improving your home without one penny from you. You can pay me in small monthly payments. Don't deny yourself any of these modern conveniences. Come in and let me show you how easily you can obtain them and on such easy terms. Another service I am offering this summer is a special loan service for school teachers. If there are any teachers who desire to attend summer school, repair their homes or take a vacation, I will gladly let them have the necessary money. They can pay it back at their leisure during the winter months. Refinancing I have plenty of modern homes in all sections of the city for sale on practically your own terms. Don't be a renter all of your life. Buying a home is just the same as banking your money.

C. of Orange came down to Bordentown tonight in full force and went home with a championship trophy dangling from their belt, in token of winning the second annual Bordentown Basketball Tournament. In an earlier game the Tiger A. C. of Atlantic City garnered the junior, 140 pound title. Meeting the Atlantic City "Y" Big Five in the Bordentown finals, Titans Bears earned an easy victory, winning 44-24. The seashore boys started the game hopelessly handicapped, as three of their regulars, their three big guns, failed to arrive. Chick Brown, Perk, and Durant were held up in a heavy fog and arrived just as the game ended. Allen, Lanman, and Montford, with Aldrich and Mc Arthur, filled in valiantly in their places and for the first half gave Titan strenuous battle. A banquet tendered the competing players and their managers immediately after the game found two hundred fans seated in the school dining hall where presentation of trophies was made. Mr. L. B. Granger, extension worker of the school and promotor of the tournament, expressed the appreciation of the school's athletic council for the support received from the public and from the clubs of the state. He announced that the disagreements and arguments that had marred the progress of the tournament in several cases after all pointed to renewal of a strong public interest in the sport, and that broad sportsmanship and intelligent effort would certainly be able to remove in another year most of the causes of misunderstanding that arose during the past tournament.

DUNBAR CRUSHES HOWARD HI 42-20 By Harry Parker Friday, the Dunbar High School basketball team celebrated its last game of the season by easily defeating the Howard High quint from, Wilmington, Del. The Poets gained sweet revenge for their defeat at the city of Duponta a week ago. The Red and Black Five was at its best form. The work of the Dunbar boys was decidedly impressive. The Poets started scoring from the opening whistle. The combination of Parker, Howard and Dyson was the "waterloo" of the Howard quint. The first two tap plays from center worked perfectly for Dunbar and four tallies were gained in the first few seconds. Dunbar drew far ahead on the score at half time with a 24 to 10 score in her favor. The second half was only a repetition of the first, and the Poets finished with a 42-20 victory. In the last quarter the "freeze" initiated by the Poets was extremely amusing to the spectators. By batting the sphere back and forth in play toy fashion the Poets held the ball nearly the whole quarter. Taylor, Howard forward, performed in great style for the visitors. He scored 10 points. Dyson, Dunbar forward, was the high point scorer of the game with 16 tallies. Stanley and Parker pressed him for the lead with 12 and 11 points, respectively. ark, introduced as a former coach, manager and promotor of amateur basketball in Newark and the Oranges, presented the senior trophy to Captain Jesse Miles of the Titans. Mr. James Williams, physical director of the Montclair Y. M.C.A. and secretary of the North Jersey committee, presented the Tigers with their trophy, while Mr. Granger distributed individual medals as prizes to the members of each team. Music by the Orange Jubilee quartet held many at the tables long after the last course had been served. THIRD—Easily removable enameled oven bottom. Many other features which must be seen to be appreciated. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1929 BASKETBALL TEAM CHARLOTTE, N.C.

Coates, Simpson and Williams, three regulars, on the bench, won a decisive victory over the fighting Lincoln Lions with a score of 36-30. Hall, star of the Freshman team, substituting for Wood, proved a sensation in his floor work, and his shooting, particularly in the first half in which he garnered three field goals and one foul, making another free throw in the second half. Harris, Howard's right guard, took high score honors with fourteen points. Harris' field goal and a pair of twin markers in rapid succession by Hall gave Howard a six point lead before Lincoln was able to score. Throughout the remainder of the game Lincoln trailed with the Howard Bison, maintaining a formidable margin. The score at half time was 21-12 in Howard's favor. With Beasley substituting for Simpson and Forsythe for Hinton, Coach Burr found the combination so effective that he kept them in for the entire game except in the latter part of the second half when Hinton took his regular position at left guard for Forsythe, the latter being taken out on fouls. Guarding Superb Weatherless and Whittington, the two most dreaded Lions, were guarded so closely that they were unable to get away, although Weatherless was the fastest man in the game on the floor. Avery, the Lion's right guard, came near getting his claws into the Bison's flesh with five field goals and three fouls, but his shots were neglected by aa Bison basket almost immediately afterward. Beasley, though unable to score, proved a worthy substitute for Simpson in his defensive work, often outjumping Sydnor, Lincoln's star center. De Costa was substituted for Weatherless just in time to make a beautiful shot from the center of the floor just before the timekeeper's final whistle. The victory was sweet revenge to the Bison and easily proved their superiority over the team which conquered them in New York before 4,000 fans. Coach Burr's strategy in holding out his regulars who had participated in a strenuous fraternity game in the afternoon, together with the spirit manifested by the rabble, were deciding factors in winning the game. The preliminary game was an interclass affair between the college Freshmen and the Sophomores, the Freshmen winning with a score of 29-9. "Spike" Harris, Hill, and "Cy" Williams played well for the losing Sophs, while "Tignor" Harris and "Mickey" Syphax were high point scorers for the Freshmen. Give Brilliant Play at Game net-Patterson Junior Hi The Student Council Club of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School presented "The House of the Heart," a one-act play, under the direction of S. G. Fletcher, faculty sponsor for the club, in the school auditorium last Wednesday and Friday afternoons. The Child who dwelt in "the House of the Heart" opened its doors to "Lady Gossip," "Laziness," "Vanity," "Grumble," "Dame Quarrelsome" and "Envy." All these evil spirits entered, "Love," "Cheerfulness" and "Industry" fled as "Wisdom" had predicted. Some one stole "Child's" charm of love.

The Howard quintet invaded the home of the West Virginia Yellow Jackets and defeated them 27-20. With a large floor the Howard team showed a superb passing and shooting attack. Simpson, fighting with revenge from the football defeat, made five field goals. Wood and Beasley also stood out for the Bisons. Whitted, an Ex-Howard player accounted for five points.

GRIDIRON TRACK LINCOLN FALLS SECOND TIME BEFORE BEARS Lions in Thrilling Encounter With Morgan on Baltimore Court BALTIMORE, Md., March 15—Morgan College defeated Lincoln University for the second time this season by the score of 38-34. The game was exceptionally fast throut. Both teams started with a rush and Morgan ran the score to 6-0 before Lincoln called time out. After this the Bears had things all their own way up until half time. The score at the half was 25-11 with Morgan on the long end. At the beginning of the second half Coach Taylor sent Hackett, Tucker in forward and Edward and Casey Jones in guard. This team worked well, but lacked the finish of the first string aggregation. Lincoln suddenly came to life and Avery, Sydnor and Hawkins between them ran Lincoln's score up to within three points of Morgan's at 33-30. Total 14 3 10 31 Total 10 5 6 25 AUTO REPAIRING . . . However, "Cutie" Brown and the incomparable "Lanky" Jones sank double deckers which practically clinched the game.

A COMPLETE FUNERAL AS LOW AS $100 901 THIRD STREET, SOUTHWEST Phone, Franklin 8401 MINISTER IS HERO OF TRAIN WRECK Pastor Saves Many Passengers and Prevents Another Wreck In Georgia ATLANTA, Ga., March 16—Rev. D. D. Crawford, of this city, corresponding secretary of the Colored Baptist Association of Georgia, is being acclaimed today by the Atlanta Constitution and other papers as the hero of a train wreck which took place near Manchester, Georgia, yesterday. "The crash over," says the Constitution's front-page story, "the preacher helped to extricate the conductor from the wreckage and received instructions from him how to prevent another possible wreck. He sent the flagman to Manchester to give the alarm and summon aid, and then took a red lantern and ran back to place a warning for other approaching trains. Rescued Many "With three cars and the engine piled into the washout and rain pouring down, the preacher began carrying passengers to safety. Crawling down to a spot near the engine he saw that the engineer was injured and just recovering consciousness. To reach the victim he built a rough bridge of timber, crawled over it and with the aid of a trainman carried the engineer across his bridge to safety. Then he helped bring out more trapped victims and when rescuers from Manchester arrived he aided them in their work. All saved, he gave the injured his blessing and THIRD BAPT Fifth and Rev. G. O.

There is a continuous movement toward a perfected humanity. It is the eternal process no doubt not through the ages one increasing pure thoughts of men are widened with the process." With the change of Administration on March 4, the status of the Negro has been the subject of much conversation and some few conferences. While we are credited with an optimistic nature and a very short memory regarding our civil, physical and political dischisement and economic slavery, nevertheless there is a deep-set undercurrent running deeper and deeper through the subconscious mind of every thinking Negro which cannot permit his satisfaction at present. The Negro would be less than human if he tried to be. Men, of course, are dissatisfied with their present conditions. The very unrest and discontent are in themselves signs of progress. New satisfaction breed new wants, and we are dissatisfied not because we possess less but because we want more. It is not in human nature to remain satisfied long at a time. Then why should we be expected to be happy, satisfied? The prick of discontent goods men ever forward. The average man, like an all gleeved politician, quickly appropriates all within his reach and pants for more. It is not enough that we possess more now than ever before. We need more. We must have more. Our demands are more. New satisfactions fail to keep pace with our new wants. Yesterday a buggy would satisfy, but today we must have an automobile. Yesterday, a victrola would answer; today a long-distance radio. Yesterday lisle hose were good enough; today nothing but silk, even if they do not last a week. Yesterday a modest home; today nothing costing less than $10,000 will satisfy. The womb of progress is constantly impregnated with the seed of discontent and necessarily there follows traval, but the very pangs are signs of coming deliverance, and, lo, there is a new birth, a new life, new wants. There is a mighty urge in humanity, a steady moving on and upward. There are some edies and reverse motions, but even these finally join in the regular forward currents of progress. We look into the present, and while we see many disturbing currents, seeming backward movements, and here and there considerable debris, yet, with our unrest and by our discontent we may still discern a steady advance. We look with eager expectation to the future and we are assured that there is a continuous movement toward a definite goal—the goal of perfected humanity. It is the eternal process moving on.

The average of $70 does not share of the ordinary stock of $100.00. And one share, he certainly isn't demonstrating $70 average for bank deposits is insignificant other hand, all efficiently managed banks haveount and balance requirement ranging from each deposit. Then, according to Presidio the average of $70 per depositor, there is not in the United States, when the minimum required deposit and balance is applied. Seventy-two keep. I make some comparisons. Take the Indians, that there are only 355,910 Indians here at department of Indian Affairs. These 355,910,1,648,750,500. This gives an average woman, woman and child of the Indians. How compare with Mr. Wright's 350,000 Negroes' total wealth is given while this is volume. But, our total wealth is given as $2,000,10,463,131 Negroes against $1,648,075,515. How is that? With our total wealth divides woman and child, we have an average of less with the Indian average of $4,631. Have you thought? Do you realize how poor we plan for increasing our economic standing? See the Jews. In 1926, there were 357,188 children, in the United States. An editorial in March 1, says that the Jews of America purposes in 1928, the sum of $235,735,855.00 two depositors with $21,000,000 on deposit in Mays says "reflects confidence." Nearly the same ten times the amount Negroes have on purposes. In other words, the Jew gave an 1,000 per Jew to charitable purposes in 1928 less than $70 per depositor, not per Negro, it were averaged with the total population of 1,000 per person. And Mr. Wright thinks there is not a town where Negro banks are has more money on deposit in white banks on own banks. Why won't our leaders be horrified tell them the facts in the case? Washington for an example, with two color crocs, and we do not have a million dollars owed to their combined resources do not total a million other hand, go to any white bank in this city than a million dollars deposited by Negroes. More money on deposit here in white banks the banks have. We fail to see any "confidence" couragement. A recent release by Major R. R. Wright, president of the National Negro Bankers' Association, states that there are 33 Negro banks in the United States having the sum of $21,000,000 on deposit belonging to 350,000 depositors, with an average deposit of $70 per person. And Mr. Wright says: "These figures reflect the confidence that colored people have in their well conducted institutions and is very encouraging." We would take issue with President Wright, for we do not think an average of $70 per depositor "reflects" any "confidence" in "well conducted institutions." The average of $70 does not equal the value of one share of the ordinary stock of $100.00. And if a person does not have one share, he certainly isn't demonstrating much confidence. A $70 average for bank deposits is insignificant. On the other hand, all efficiently managed banks have a minimum deposit amount and balance requirement ranging from $100.00 to $500.00 for each depositor. Then, according to President Wright's statement, of the average of $70 per depositor, there is not an efficient Negro bank in the United States, when the minimum requirements of $100.00 its deposit and balance is applied. Seventy dollars will not pay its keep. Now let's make some comparisons. Take the Indian. The U. S. Census shows that there are only 355,901 Indians here and registered under the Department of Indian Affairs. These 355,901 despised Indians are worth $1,648,075,500.00. This gives an average of $4,631 for every man, woman and child of the Indians. How does this 355,901 Indians compare with Mr. Wright's 350,000 Negro depositors? Sure the Indians' total wealth is given while this is voluntary deposits of 350,000 people. But, our total wealth is given as $2,000,000,000.00, which includes 10,463,131 Negroes against $1,648,075,500 for only 355,901 Indians. How is that? With our total wealth divided among every man, woman and child, we have an average of less than $200 compared with the Indian average of $4,631. Have you given this any particular thought? Do you realize how poor we are? What would be your plan for increasing our economic standing? Now consider the Jews. In 1926, there were 357,185 Jews, men, women and children, in the United States. An editorial in The Jewish Tribune for March 1, says that the Jews of America raised for charitable purposes in 1928, the sum of $235,735,855.00. There are 350,000 Negro depositors with $21,000,000 on deposit in Negro banks. Mr. Wright says this "reflects confidence." Nearly the same number of Jews give ten times the amount Negroes have on deposit to charitable purposes. In other words, the Jew gave an average of more than $700 per Jew to charitable purposes in 1928, while the Negro had less than $70 per depositor, not per Negro, in his banks. If the deposits were averaged with the total population it would be less than $2.00 per person. And Mr. Wright thinks that reflects confidence. There is not a town where Negro banks are located but what Negroes have more money on deposit in white banks than they have in their own banks. Why won't our leaders be honest with the people and tell them the facts in the case? Take Washington for an example, with two colored banks for 136,000 Negroes, and we do not have a million dollars on deposit in them. In fact their combined resources do not total a million dollars. On the other hand, go to any white bank in this city and you will find more than a million dollars deposited by Negroes. In fact Negroes have more money on deposit here in white banks than all of the 33 Negro banks have. We fail to see any "confidence" reflected in that, or encouragement. HERBERT HOOVER.

We are of the opinion that Herbert Clark Hoover, really means to be President of these United States for the next four years. And the way in which he began reminds us of President Roosevelt. When he named his cabinet of average men we felt then that the passiveness of the Coolidge administration was at an end, and that there may be some fire works pretty soon. Mr. Hoover's training, habits and experience have been of such that placed him in command. As an engineer, he was dictator. In the Food Control and his service in Belgium placed him in command. He is accustomed to giving orders and then having them obeyed. Since being at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue, he has demonstrated his ability to give orders. His executive order prohibiting further easing of government oil lands and restricting leases of outstanding permits, notwithstanding the large contributions made by the oil interests to his campaign fund last summer and fall, was a master stroke. His order for publicity for tax refunds in excess of $20,000 immediately settled controversies of the past two administrations. The call for the extra session of Congress for April 15, to provide relief for farmers and adjust the tariff will take two planks of his platform out of the promise column and place them on the action list. He appointed a new third secretary to speed up the reorganization of government departments and independent bureaus. A new departure. He may have two more members in his cabinet, making 12, before his four years are out. One in charge of Education and the other looking after government works and buildings. He is making a list of nine men, to be headed by Charles E. Hughes, erstwhile Secretary of State, and Judge of the Supreme Court, to make sweeping investigations into law enforcement. This may take up all of his administration and run over into the next one. There is promise of much good coming from this effort. Plans for a shake up and reorganization of the diplomatic corps and the possible appointment of ex-Vice-President Dawes to the Court of St. James, are awaiting the arrival of his Secretary of State, Mr. Stimson.

Just last week a couple of stool pigeons were shot down on the street in cold blood by gentlemen from the noble realm of gangland. It is not the purpose of this column to curb in any way the happy posture of shooting stool pigeons. The regretable thing is that not two hours after the shooting the culprits, if you would call them that, were lodged much too safely behind the bars. Now right there is where missionary work should be done. Our underworld is entirely too amateurish. Our gangsters apparently have no code of ethics. Such a thing could not have happened in Chicago and other cities where gangs have honor. To have these men locked up so soon after the commission of the crime shows clearly that Washington is trailing other cities in the field of crime, and this reflects discredit upon us. We are still a hick town. You probably recall the gang war in Chicago where the wholesale massacre took place several weeks ago. Well, inspectors, captains, officers, detectives and coroners have been investigating for a month and so far all they have is a description of the room where the shooting took place. The perpetrators are busily engaged shaping the policies and platforms for the next election and have probably forgotten the little incident by now. That is efficiency for you. Chicago police know that the duty of the police department is merely to hold investigations and continue to hold investigations until everybody forgets what they were investigating, even the investigators. But what do Washington police do when anybody gets shot? Rush out and lock somebody up, and what is worse, they generally lock up the right party. How, I ask you, can we ever hope to develop a creditable underworld by such methods? We will have to hold mass meetings among our thugs, stickups, and footpads, and instil in them the rudiments of being gunmen. Prominent speakers versed in such things can be brought from New York and elsewhere to give lectures. Movies of showing gangsters who always say, "I'll die before I'll squeal on me pardal!" could also be used in this noble uplift work. The fact that Washington has no well organized political rings may be partially to blame for our shortcoming. Cities where they have Republicans and Democrats have a much more creditable underworld than we voteless sojourners can boast of. In such cities there is at least one man who can call up the jail and have most anybody turned out that you might have money enough to pay for. This system is what Democrats call graft when Republicans are in power, and what Republicans call graft when Democrats are in power. Which proves that in politics the righteous party is the one on the outside. The only place where politics is pronounced here is in the school system, and in the Civil Service, but very few gangsters want jobs in either. In fact, very few gangsters want jobs anywhere. In the school system you can obtain most anything you want if you have a reasonable amount of soft soap and can find a gullible official to smear it on. And in the Civil Service you do more of the same and those who are employed in both to a large degree are simply gangsters under the skin who have lost their nerve. There is something radically wrong with our municipal government when peaceful law abiding bootleggers, highjackers, footpads and "numbers" operators cannot pursue the even tenure of their ways without being yanked up off the street, mugged and fingerprinted like common traffic law violators and criminals who make a mistake in their income tax report. Such humiliation must cease. mistake in their income tax report. Such humiliation must cease. Yours until Washington is safe for law-breakers, something of importance to discuss. The "resignation" of Col. Horace Mann, paves the way to assume personal control of all Southern appointments. His having Attorney General Mitchell to render an opinion on the national origins provisions of the Immigration Act, which will make new quotas July 1, giving England and Italy larger numbers, although he was against that during the campaign, demonstrates again his ability to be President.

Lu Valle EDITORIAL DIGEST ON PRESIDENT HOOVER The Journal and Guide thinks Hoover has the opportunity to prove himself great; "Great problems which have so far defied all attempts at solution through the economy of politics face President Hoover, But it is doubtful if any President ever was more favorably circumstanced for his attack upon problems of state. President Hoover will have a Congress with an overwhelming majority of his own political faith. He has fortunately selected a cabinet composed of some of the ablest minds of the nation. And he has the rock-ribbed confidence of the people. Any President so happily situated has the opportunity to prove himself great in the face of great problems." "Much is expected of Hoover," says The Savannah Tribune: "Should he fail to measure up, a keen disappointment will be felt. In dealing with our group he can not be more disappointing, however, than was his predecessor, who was a safe and sane president, but seemed to have clearly forgotten, politically a large class of loyal Republican voters. He did less for them than any other president. Will Mr. Hoover be an improvement? Time will tell." The Commonwealth thinks he left us out on purpose: "President Hoover made no reference in his address to the Negro as a group. He evidently reached the conclusion that the Negro group is not separate and distinct from other American citizens in their duties and obligations to government and that the government owes to them the same duties and obligations as to all other citizens. congregation Washington Tribune "Th disfranchising States which are loudest in demanding enforcement of the 18th Amendment have themselves rendered it most difficult, if not impossible, to enforce that Amendment because of their laws evading the provisions of the 14th and 15th Amendments and the habit of utter disregard of law in dealing with the Negro." The Chronicle says it is "The most laudable feature." "The most outstanding, as well as the most laudable feature of President Hoover's inaugural speech was the absence of any eulogy on the Negro race, such as certain former Presidents have delighted in. His failure to designate the Negro as apart from other racial groups in the American citizenry may be taken as an indication that he will treat the Negro as a man and judge him by general American standards. There was no hint of Coolidegan condescension in this address. Mr. Hoover did not remind other Americans of the Aframerican's phenomenal rise since the Civil War. He addressed himself throughout to the entire nation, without begging for any special consideration of the Negro or the Indian." "Other Amendments," says the Argus: "The mere fact, however, that Mr. Hoover did not mention these amendments and commit himself to their enforcement in no wise excuse him from the solemn obligations to which he is bound by his oath when he kissed the Bible, and swore that he would uphold the Constitution of the United States. If the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments are a part of the United States Constitution, then he is legally duty and honor bound to use the power and influence of his good office to enforce them." The whip says: "We expect Mr. Hoover, in his interest to enforce the law and the amendments to the Constitution, to place all of the appendages to the basic documents on the same plane. We expected Mr. Hoover to champion the enforcement of the two sadly neglected provisions; but he spoke of the law against liquor and omitted the law against disfranchisement." The Bee makes demands: "We are demanding from the new chief executive a square deal By that we care not much for political plums, though we claim our share to which we are entitled; but we demand that the administration rather interest itself in constructive programs for the benefit of the race such as Federal support of education for all groups where that is curtailed or denied by the respective states; the strict enforcement of the 14th and 15th Amendments; aid for the farmers; the suppression of peonage and lynching; reforms in the civil service; and the appointment of Negroes to office north or south on merit." The Louisville News asks "How can you enforce one law and let three go?" "The President covers a lot of territory when he promises to reform and reorganize our whole system of civil and criminal jurisprudence; and he wisely avers that 'Our whole system of self-government will crumble if officials elect what laws they will enforce, and citesenew what laws they will support.' "Then our government is crumbling for that has been the case for many years. If this government has acknowledged its inability to enforce three amendments to our fundamental law that the South wholly disregarded, how can they expect to enforce one law that everybody disregards?" The Black Dispatch says "He hit the bullseye:" "Mr. Hoover was hitting near the bullseye when he made that statement: 'Disregard for some laws destroys respect for all laws.' What is important right now, and what the American people are interested in, is this: Which laws are being enforced and which are the ones that are not being enforced? Which are the laws being held sacred; which are violated?" "18th Amendment Pales" says East Tennessee News: "The infringement and disregard for the 18th Amendment and Volstead Act pales into insignificance as compared to the tendency of criminals, North and South, who persist in taking the torch in hand, threatening officers of the law, taking from their custody individuals and snuffing out lives never for one time considering that our courts are supreme." The Informer of Houston says "In his inaugural speech, President Hoover dwelt upon several phases of our national life, and pledged himself to the strict enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment, but was noticeably silent regarding other Constitutional Amendments which are as openly disregarded and nullified as the prohibition provision." "The Negro is the most difficult problem," says The Philadelphia Tribune: "Perhaps the most difficult problem which faces the new administration is that of the Negro. Everyone knows that the Negro does not get a square deal. How to give to America's subjected "Tenth" equality of opportunity and at the same time keep in time with old customs requires wisdom and tact. This can only be done if Mr. Hoover's heart is right on this question. We understand that there are factions to be placated if the administration is to be successful. But it does seem as though some effort could be made to relieve some of the pressure from the shoulders of black folk without upsetting any other necessary policies. As a matter of justice a courageous attempt should be made to give the Negro a square deal." The Negro World's "Wonderment, increases." "The President of the United States is sworn to enforce obedience to the one no less and no more than to the other. And our wonderment is increased when we realize that non-observance of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments entails a denial of the major rights of citizenship to a large group of the citizenry, while the Eighteenth Amendment, in the non-observance, denies to none any right of citizenship, but rather, in the observance, infringes, as millions think, upon the freedom rights of the individual." "Mr. Hoover should have included the 14th and 15th" says The Eagle: "That Mr. Hoover should have given so many words to depicting lawlessness and its causes and consequences, ought to insure federal attention to the violations of the 14th and 15th Amendments as well as the 18th. Mr. Hoover, however does not include those ancient and festered sore spots in the panoply of our American liberties, the Constitution." Disrespect for law is becoming more prevalent, says Chronicle: "Disrespect and contempt for the law is becoming annually more prevalent in this Republic. This deplorable fact is due to the tendency of our citizens to choose what laws they ought to obey and what to ignore." The Leader thinks: "An interesting and an able man now stands at the helm of the government. But it was clear on inaugural day to Herbert Hoover what he considered to be the problem most menacing to this country. He singled out lack of observing the law and spoke his mind courageously. He tried to impress the American people with seriousness of the situation and the need of immediate action. He had thought it over and gave the country his program for law enforcement. He did not forget that the fight against lawlessness must be a cooperative fight, so he appealed to the people to enlist with him in the crusade for respect of law and order."

THE TRIBUNITES' PLEDGE "I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my race, and I will champion my race whereever I may hear such slander." FEATURES There are many people who talk about our race, giving us false, vulgar, and undesirable names. Every Negro man or woman, girl or boy should be on the watch for this slander; don't be afraid, but be like Frederick Douglass. He went about among the worst of people talking about slavery and the slave owners. All slander is bad, if it were not it would "not" be "slander," and it is very harmful to our race. Therefore we have to have more watchmen. All of our watchmen should be willing and ever ready for our defense. Inez Selden, (12) 2217 Flagler Pl., N.W. ALEXANDRIA NEWS Mr. Robert A.
