Washington was picked up on Waters street by Patrolman Harover, of the epheceo boat, when the former requested a night's shelter and food, declaring that he had not eaten for 24 hours. Washington showed the judge a pair of badly worn shoes which he declared had been newly purchased when he left Palm Beach one month ago. Through his entire 800-mile journey, he declared, he was unable to obtain work. On the farms he said the complaint was that there was plenty of work to be done, but no money to pay help with. He was locked up twice, he said, once in Lynchburg, and in another town. He declared that he had several relatives in Philadelphia, and requested that he be released to reach them. He was turned over to the probation department for an investigation. Sentenced in Auto Death Norman Maxwell was sentenced to five years imprisonment by Chief Justice Walter I. McCoy in criminal division No. 1 of the District Supreme Court last Saturday.

His parole was revoked and he will be made to serve 19 years. Freed on Liquor Charge Franklin Lynch and Lillian Horcomb were liberated last Saturday in police court by Assistant District Attorneyneys R. F. Camalier and David A.

Pageant at Cleveland School More than 200 parents and teachers witnessed the pageant, "The Progress of a Race," at the Cleveland School, Tuesday night. The pageant started with primitive life in Africa, then to America, and through slavery, reconstruction on to present day progress. The children did remarkably well in their roles. A folk dance, "Juba," by Miss Rosa Wells Murphy, and a solo by Mr. Paul Johnson were features. The pageant was preceded by a paper on "Care of the Teeth," by Dr. J. C. Brazier, after which a souvenir on Denturing was given each parent. The pageant was given by the Parent-Teachers Association of the Cleveland School, Mrs. M. T. Lati-more is principal; Mr. Geo. F.

Va., was a visitor. Man Given Ten Years On Murder Charge Clarence Patterson was sentenced to serve ten years in prison by Justice Frederick L. Siddons in criminal division No. 2 of the District Supreme Court, last Saturday. Patterson was convicted of second-degree murder, but was granted a new trial and then was permitted to plead guilty to manslaughter. He stabbed Thomas M. Root to death last September 14, at 39 Fenton place, northwest, in a fight over a $1 whisky transaction. Long Terms for Thugs Francis Jackson and Leon T. Johnson were given sentences of 10 years each. Jackson was charged with striking John Weaver over the head with a hatchet, December 22, last, at 323 Missouri avenue, northwest, and robbing him of $13.

WILL TAKE OATH, DePRIEST DECLARES Oscar DePriest will take the path of office when the 72nd Congress convenes on April 15, he declared to the Tribune in answer to a telegram, Wednesday. The Tribune wired Mr. DePriest after the Washington Times published an article stating that the Negro Congressman would not take the oath. The Times article says: "Unable to have the charges against him in Chicago brought to an early trial, as twice requested by his attorneys, though the judge before whom he is to appear has been chosen, Oscar DePriest, colored Congressman from Illinois, has decided not to come to the special session of Congress next month, but to wait until the regular session in December. "DePriest is reported to have praised Washington for its kind reception and readiness to aid him to understand the customs and conditions of office holding. He has selected a committee to pass upon applicants for cadets to West Point and Amnapolis, for which he proposes to nominate colored boys and alternates who meet entrance requirements." "According to advises from the State's attorney's office, the crowded docket in Illinois pretake oath," says Mr. DePriest, casel until late in April or early in May. "I will be there April 15th to take oath," says Mr. DePriest in his telegram to the Tribune. DEFENCE PLEA SAVES WOMAN FROM CHAIR Two-Year-Old Case Ends In Acquittal for Woman Who Slew Lover A murder case of two years' standing was finally brought to trial before Justice Siddons in part 2 of the Supreme Court, Monday, and resulted in the acquittal of Miss Berma Jackson, 505 Q street, northwest, who was charged with the shooting to death of James M. H. Young, in 1927. According to the testimony of the young woman, she had been friendly with Young for sometime but following a disagreement she ordered the man to leave her alone and not to see her any more. Young, according to testimony, persisted and she finally resorted to the police for protection, and obtained a warrant for his arrest. Young learned of the warrant and called at the home in an ugly mood. He attacked the young woman, who was in her-bedroom, forcing her into a closet where he began to assault her with his fists. During the struggle she sized a revolver which was on a top shelf of the closet and shot him several times. The man was able to call the police from a window before he died. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, accepting her plea of self defense. Short Circuit Causes Fire ALEXANDRIA, Va.—A short circuit in the electric wiring caused a fire in the home of Mr. William C. Young, 1012 Cameron street, Thursday, March 7. The fire started in the bed room where Mr. Young's three daughters were asleep. Vivian, the oldest daughter, awoke and detected the fire and aroused the other members of the family. Neighbors were attracted to the scene. Mr. Robert Poindexter, who was passing the house at the time, rushed in and with a fire extinguisher which he happened to have in his car, kept the blaze under control until firemen arrived and extinguished the fire. Damage was not very great. NAB THE FAMILY OF THE WOMEN Ranging in years from seven to 80, this quartet represents four generations. They are from left to right: Mrs. L. M. Tuck, Mrs. Vernet West, and her little daughter, Rose, and Mrs. Rose Anna Freeman. Mrs. Freeman is a native of Clarksburg, W.

MAN, 69, FACES LIQUOR CHARGE William Henry Clay, who gave his age as 69, was committed for grand jury action in $2,100 bond on two charges of sale and possession of liquor following a hearing, Monday, in the police court. Edward Layton was sentenced to 30 days in jail following a hearing in the police court. Monday, after police had testified that they had come upon him beating Florence Rayilings in the public street about 2 a.m., at New Jersey avenue and Q street, northwest, Sunday night. Two Tires, Two Guns, Two Sentences Carrying two tires early Friday morning, Marion Ray, 1400-block T street, northwest, was challenged by policemen McEwen and Smith o the eighth precinct. He dropped the tires and ran. Smith followed him into a house. Ray took his gun away from him and when McEwen followed he took his gun also. They finally subdued Ray and beat him severely. In police court, Saturday, Ray was given a year in jail for taking the two revolvers from the two policemen and six months for stealing two auto tires. Charles Jackson was given a sentence of seven and a half years in prison. He was charged with assaulting John Woods with a dangerous weapon on November 18, last. The assault grew out of an argument in a card game. Housebreakers Sentenced David Broker and Sherman Wilson were given five years each for housebreaking and larceny. They were charged with breaking into a grocery store at 739 North Capitol street, on January 9, and stealing 96 pounds of ham and 10 pounds of bacon. Realtors Win Suit Justice Peyton Gordon in equity court No. 2 has awarded damages in the sum of $2,120 to Joseph F. Holland, a real estate operator, and William S. Neal. The damages were assessed against Mrs. Ida E. Tutson, who sued out an injunction restraining them from proceeding with ouster proceedings to get possession of property at 1316 and 1318 W street, northwest. Mrs. Tutson filed a bill of complaint seeking the reconveyance of this property to her and for an accounting from Mr. Holland. She alleged that she was the owner of this property and transferred it to Mr. Holland to have it refinanced. He was to return it to her. The property was sold at public auction to William S. Neal January 16, 1928. She was granted a temporary injunction, but her petition was later dismissed. The court decided that she wrongfully sued out the temporary injunction and awarded the defendants damages and costs. Attorneys Houston and Houston represented the defendants.

The grants this year total $180,000. Of the two colored men, one is an author, Eric Waldron, New York, who wrote, "The Big Dutch," and "Tropic Death." The other is an artist of Chicago, Archibald J.

James E. Willis, the pulpit committee has selected many of the most eminent divines in the denomination with a view of selecting a successor. Wife Bobs up After Seven Years, Hubby's HomeRaided LILY-WHITES FAVORED BY PRESIDENT Hoover Denounced State Organizations Touched by Patronage Scandal The full strength of the most powerful office in the world was thrown solidly behind the lily-white movement in the Republican party when President Herbert Hoover issued a statement, Tuesday, approving the lily-white organizations and disapproving the black and tan organizations in southern states. The effect of this White House flat by President Hoover, whose Republicanism dates only from 1920, will be as far reaching politically as the Dred Scott decision that the Negro had no rights a white man was bound to respect, or the Taft declaration that he would appoint no colored men to office in the south. Commends Lily-Whites. In his statement he commended particularly the Republican organizations in the border states and in Virginia and North Carolina. He also expressed his approval of the state organizations in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, and Florida. The Republican organizations in each of these states is composed entirely of white persons. No colored persons are members of state, district, or county committees. They are virtually barred from state, district and county conventions through various ruses of Republican leaders in those states. It was in these states in the recent campaign in which the Republican party appealed to race prejudice. It was in these states that Col. Horace A. Mann had charge of the Republican campaign and eliminated colored citizens from participating in it while the Republican party in the north sought the vote of colored men and women for its candidates. Black and Tan Condemned President Hoover condemned the black and tan organizations in the states of South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi. They are guilty of patronage abuses, he asserted, which make it impossible for them to command the confidence of the administration. I nmaking his comparison of the lily white and black and tan organizations, President Hoover evidently had no knowledge of the existence of the so-called "Dear Ben" letters which C. Bascom Slemp, the Republican national (Continued on page A) FACES HOUSEBREAKING CHARGE Odel Wagner was committed for the action of the grand jury on charges of housebreaking after a hearing in the police court, Tuesday. Wagner was seen leaving the house at 1118 First street, with a bundle of clothes under his arm, and was arrested when two suits were reported stolen from the house. The missing articles were not recovered. Police are looking for an accomplice known only as "Butterfly." 160 Days for Liquor Albert Harper, arrested March 16, pleaded guilty to a charge of possession. He was fined $400 with an alternative of 160 days in jail by Judge Isaac R. Hitt. CAPITAL EDITION FIVE HELD IN NIGHT CLUB RAID Dancer, Three Waitresses and Proprietor Face Jones Law One of the most unique raids staged in northwest Washington since the passage of the Jones law resulted in the arrest of five persons, four of whom were women, when prohibition agents visited the Night Club Bohemia, on Tuesday night. The officers, in company with police, entered the club about 11:30 on a tip that a large supply of liquor was to be delivered by a well known bootlegger just before midnight for the night's festivities. No One Could Leave One by one and in pairs the patrons of the night club began to straggle in. They were greeted by a regular atmosphere, men and women were seated at the various tables engaged in conversation. The orchestra was seated in its place and the waitresses were moving about. There was no evidence that all was hot right in the club until the patrons attempted to leave. They were then stopped at the door by an agent who instructed them to take a seat and keep quiet and act natural. About twenty-five or thirty were thus seated when the agents sent for the patrol. Man Gives Tip A woman who entered the cabaret was forbidden to leave by the agents until she pleaded that she had left her automobile motor running and wanted to cut it off. She was accompanied to the street and ushered back by a plain clothes man. Another man requested to leave and was allowed to go unaccompanied, but agents watched him from the interior. Just at that moment another man is said to have driven up in a car and was approaching the cabaret when the other man is said to have motioned him to go back. Five Held The patrons were not arrested, but the waitresses were charged with illegal possession and sale. Each faced two charges. They gave their names as Lovey Well, 19, 928 Euclid street, a dancer; Thelma Poynter, 27, 183 Willberge street, a waitress; Madeline Christian, 1853 Ninth street; and Elenor Blalock, 19, 1406 T street, northwest. Charles Jones was also charged with sale and possession. After Seven HomeRaided Mrs. Josephine Nelson Declares Mate Was Living With Another Woman Although he had been separated from his wife for the past seven years, Daniel Nelson, 608 P street, northwest, was found guilty of a statuary offense on complaint of his wife, Mrs. Josephine Nelson, who had his home raided, Sunday night. Nelson declared that he was married to his wife on March 7, 1917, and they had separated five years later. He has had nothing to do with her since that time, he declared although she turns up at intervals to make trouble for him. Mrs. Nelson declared that her husband was living with another woman by the name of Fannie Jones. Police testified that they found the 'ir in bed together, although Nelson denied this. He was fined $25. Pres. Hoover Has Chance to Make Negro Appointments MANY POSTS OPEN FOR NEGROES Vacancies Must Be Filled By Hoover, But Race Appointments are Doubtful Political plums for deserving colored Republicans as a reward for party services are going to be scarce. This is the opinion of wise observers here. There are at present four statutory positions in the Department of Justice to be filled. It is not likely that any of them will go to a colored Republican. Positions Vacant The two ranking positions next to the attorney generalship are vacant. They are the solicitor generalship and the assistant to the attorney generalship. The former was filled by William D. Mitchell, who is now the Attorney General. The latter was filled by Colonel William J. Donovan. John Marshall, administrative assistant attorney general, has also submitted his resignation. Assistant Attorney General Oscar R. Luhring plans to retire, and it is possible that Assistant Attorney General Bertice M. Parmenter may be replaced by President Hoover. Vann Mentioned As far as could be learned, there is no colored Republican an avowed candidate for any of these places. The name of Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh, Pa., has been most frequently mentioned in connection with an assistant attorney generalship in the Hoover administration. Mr. Vann was the director of publicity for the colored voters' division of the Republican national committee in the late campaign. Want Howard's Post Charles C. Calloway, of Kansas City, Mo., and Cornelius R. Richardson, of Richmond, Ind., are said to be desirous of posts in the Department of Justice, but either one of these lawyers, it is understood, would be satisfied with the position from which Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, was suspended following his indictment on charges of bartering Federal offices, or a similar one. Mr. Howard is a special assistant to the Attorney General at a salary of $6,000 a year. His suspension carried with it a loss of salary pending the outcome of his trial. If he is acquitted, he will be reinstated. Presidential Appointments The solicitor general, the assistant to the Attorney General, and assistant attorney generals are appointed by the President. They require confirmation by the Senate. The solicitor general receives a salary of $12,000 a year. The assistant to the Attorney General and the six assistant attorney generals receive salaries of $9,000 a year each. The Solicitor General represents the Government in the Supreme Court of the United States. The assistant to the Attorney General has charge of all suits arising under the Federal anti-trust laws. The administrative assistant attorney general has charge of all personnel matters including appointments and salaries. Assistant Attorney General Luhring has charge of criminal cases. Assistant Attorney General Parmenter has charge of suits under the public land laws. Only One Served Appointment as a special assistant to the Attorney General is made by the Attorney General and requires no confirmation by the Senate. William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mass., is the only colored man who has ever been an assistant attorney general]. He served under the Taft administration. H. U. Student Dentists Treat 3,281 Kiddies The Dental College of Howard University has treated 3,251 public school children of the District of Columbia since acquiring new facilities made possible in the reconstruction of the building formerly occupied by the School of Medicine. These children come from eighteen different schools and are treated free of charge except when feet to cover material when is needed. Their work is done under the supervision of a large corps of instructors, most of whom are practicing dentists, others being full time professors. Two registered nurses are regularly employed and physicians are immediately available in case of extremely nervous nature. The department is preparing a booklet setting forth reasons for choosing dentistry as a life's work and the splendid facilities afforded for a dental education at Howard University. The booklet will contain a detailed description of the courses of study offered and the new equipment including an infirm 50 x 90 feet, accommodating sixty chairs and equipped with running water and electric motors, together with numerous lecture rooms and laboratories and other conveniences for the comfort of both patients and students. SEEKS DAMAGES FOR FALSE ARREST William Spicer with his brother, A. G. Spicer, a real estate operator, must defend the $10,000 damage suit brought by Mrs. Dora Lipscomb, 249 N street, northwest, against him for false arrest. Justice Wendell P. Stafford, in circuit court No. 1, Tuesday, overruled a demurrer filed by Attorney Houston & Houston on behalf of William Spicer alleging that Mrs. Lipscomb had no right of action against him. Justice Stafford allowed counsel seven days in which to file an answer to the declaration of the plaintiff. William Spicer denied that he had caused Mrs. Lipscomb to be arrested. He stated that he simply appeared in police court in answer to a summons and testified as a government witness against her. He denied that his testimony was falsely or maliciously given. Arrested at Home Mrs. Lipscomb claims in her declaration that the two brothers caused her to be arrested falsely at her home, 1036 Third street, northwest, April 27, 1928, on a charge of destroying private property. She was detained at No. 2 station house from 9 o'clock in the morning until 6 o'clock in the afternoon when she made bond for her appearance in police court and was released. It was charged that she took a hammer and destroyed the bathroom, fixtures in an apartment which she had rented from A. G. Spicer because of a disagreement with him about her paying the monthly rental in partial payments. Mrs. Lipscomb was acquitted in police court, July 19, 1928. She filed her suit for damages through Attorney' Wesley S. Porter. The Spicers are represented by Attorneys Houston & Houston.

FEDERAL LIFE GIVES BANQUET The agents and office force of the Federal Life Insurance Company were the guests of the officers and directors at a banquet tendered in their honor, Friday, March 15, at the home of The Wage Earners' Association.

Prizes to the highest producers in the recent "Production Drive" were presented by Mr. C. T. Taylor, secretary-manager, to Mr. C. E. X. Boisseau, Rev. C. H. Oatney, and Mr. J. H Taylor. Mr. C. E. X.

Mrs. F. C. Martin, of 1907 Frederick Ave, Baltimore, Md., says: "I suffered from chronic nervous and stomach trouble and had just about lost hope of getting well.

Druggists know this and for the past 10 years have recommended it to men and women who need a quick "pick-up" that will put them on their feet and give them a new interest in life.

INVEST YOUR RENT MONEY IN KINGMAN PARK! LILY-WHITES FAVORED BY PRESIDENT (Continued from page 1) committeeman for Virginia, wrote while a member of Congress soliciting campaign contributions from Federal officeholders. Cites Texas Case Evidently he had no knowledge of the allegations which have been made before the Brookhart Senate committee investigating Federal appointments in southern states, regarding R. B. Creager, the Republican national committee man for Texas, who is charged with requiring Federal officeholders to give promissory notes as contributions to the Republican organization in his state. The full text of the statement of President Hoover in reply to queries from the press upon organization questions in the south is as follows: "It has been the aspiration of Republican Presidents over many years to build up sound Republican organization in the southern states of such character as would commend itself to the citizens of those states. Break Down Sectionalism "This aspiration has arisen out of no narrow sense of partisanship but from the conviction shared in equally by the leaders of all parties that the basis of sound government must rest upon strong two-party representation and organization; that the voice of all states in the councils of the Government can be assured by no other means; that the welfare of the nation at large requires the breaking down of sectionalism in politics; that the public service can be assured only by responsible organization. "Furthermore, it has been the belief of these leaders, whose views I share, that the building up of such organizations must in every conception of our foundations of local self-government evolve from those states themselves." "Republican leadership in the border states and in Virginia and North Carolina has long since built up vigorous party organization which assures Republican representation in the Congress from those states. Increasing Strength "In other states including Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Florida, the Republican leadership has in recent times shown increasing strength and is now rendering able and conscientious service in maintaining wholesome organization under whose advice the appointments to public office have steadily improved and commended themselves to the citizens of those states with increased confidence in the party.

FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1929 Texas, Alabama, Florida, and other states to broaden the basis of party organization by the establishment of advisory committees of the highest type of citizenship to deal with administrative questions and who will also co-operate with independent Democrats. "This movement, springs as it does from within the states themselves, insures its strength, permanence and constant improvement in public service. Lost Confidence "Recent exposures of abuse in recommendations for Federal office, particularly in some parts of the states of South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, under which come Federal departments, mainly the Post Office, were misled in appointments obviously render it impossible for the old organizations in those states to command the confidence of the administration, although many members of these organizations are not subject to criticism. "But such conditions are intolerable to public service, are repugnant to the ideals and purposes of the Republican party, are unjust to the people of the South and must be ended.

GIVEN BLACKEYE AT MERIDIAN Dixie Resents Injection of Politics in the Trial of Perry Howard Further prosecution of the indictment against Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and suspended special assistant to the Attorney General, and three code defendants, charged with bartering Federal patronage, may be dropped. Attorney General William D. Mitchell will be asked to carefully review the case with a view to determining whether or not the evidence against Howard, James C. Buehanan, George F. McLelland and Edward L. Patton, who were jointly indicted, merits presentation to a jury. New Date Set The defense, it was learned, had hoped to have the new Attorney General consider the case before it was called for trial in the United States court for the southern district of Mississippi at Meridian, Miss, last Thursday, but the government would not consent to a postponement. With the case now set for trial on April 8, it is believed that sufficient time is afforded the Attorney General to examine the facts and decide whether the Government shall continue to prosecute. Howard and Millar McGlchrist a special assistant to the Attorney General, who was dispatched to Meridian by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, Assistant Attorney General, to assist in the prosecution arrived here, last Saturday morning aboard the same train. McGlchrist was accompanied by a retinue of Department of Justice agents. Howard was apparently in fine spirits as a result of the turn of events at Meridian. He would make no comment. Town Overrun by Agents The action of Government counsel in obtaining a postponement of the trial is regarded here as a flasco. According to reports, Meridian was overrun with Federal agents. Lily white Republicans were on hand seeking to retain eminent counsel to aid the Government in the prosecution of the case. Witnesses from two Washington banks and the superintendent of the division of postmasters' appointments in the Post Office Department had been summoned and were present to testify for the Government. Blame- Editorial Government counsel sought a continuance. Defence counsel would not consent. Frederick Sullens, the editor of the Jackson Daily News in Meridian for the purpose of reporting the trial, on the day before its opening sent a dispatch to his paper in which he predicted that Howard and his defendants would not be convicted. In court the next day Lester G. Fants, an assistant United States Attorney, made a motion for a continuance. He alleged that the Government would not be able to obtain a fair and impartial trial. He told the court that the jury panel was not representative of the eastern division of the southern district and that a newspaper article which appeared in the Jackson Daily News commenting on the case was prejudicial to the prosecution, written for the purpose of influencing the verdict of the jury and seeking to inject personalities and political issues that had no place in the trial. Judge's First Term Defense counsel objected strenuously, but Judge Allen Cox, recently appointed and presiding at his first term of court, granted the motion of the Government for a continuance. He set April 8 as the date of the trial. Charge Contempt Sullens was cited for contempt. He was ordered to show cause, April 25, why he should not be adjudged in contempt of court for publication of the article. The article by Sullens was as follows: "Meridian, March 20.—Guessing on what a woman will do and what verdict a jury may reach is always hazardous, but the first best bet concerning the Federal patronage trial at Meridian involving four defendants, is that Uncle Sam is going to come out second best in the encounter. "Which is but another way of saying that a verdict of acquittal is more than likely, and the worst the defendants may expect is a hung jury." 100 to 1 Shot "If a verdict of guilty is reached it will be somewhat skim to a 100 to 1 shot winning the Kentucky Derby—one of those things that nobody expects to happen, and in the ordinary course of human events simply can't happen. "The Meridian trial in all its psychological aspects is not unlike the trial staged in Jackson several weeks ago in which Perry Howard, the two Redmonds, and E. L. Patton, all Negroes, were acquitted by white men in the face of evidence supposedly conclusive submitted by white men. "Don't Want G.O.P. "In other words, it is not altogether a case of whether the de- SEGREGATION CHARGED TO SEC'Y WORK No future meetings or functions of the Republican national committee are to be held in any place at any time where all members of the committee can not attend, if the provisions of a resolution adopted at the committee meeting here on March 6 are carried out, it became known Monday. The action of the committee, it was learned, followed a luncheon given at the Mayflower Hotel, on March 6, by Chairman Hubert Work in honor of former chairmen. The resolution was offered by National Committeeman Clarence C. Hamlin, of Colorado. The story regarding the luncheon that is current here is that chairman Work sent for Eugene P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss., the husband of Mrs. Mary C. Booze, the national committeewoman for Mississippi, and told him that he wanted him to keep his wife and Mrs. George S. Williams, the national committeewoman for Georgia, from attending the luncheon because the Mayflower Hotel would not serve colored persons in its dining room. The management of the Mayflower Hotel, it is stated, was questioned and emphatically denied that there was any truth in the statement that it would not serve the colored members of the Republican national committee. WORKER BEATEN TO DEATH BY CHICAGO GANSTERS CHICAGO, Marche (CNS) Chas Mallor, a Negro worker, forty-seven was beaten to death in the presence of his wife early today by a gang of white hoodlums when, in his anxiety to get home, he and wife stepped across an imaginary "boundary line" separating the "Irish district" from other residents of the district. Mallor and his wife had been visiting a sick friend and he had but a few moments to take his wife home and get to his work. They attempted to make a short cut and thereby "trangressed" upon the "Irish district." A gang of corner loafers suffering from capitalist-injected race hatred immediately descended upon them. Mallor and his wife tried to explain that they were unaware of the boundary line, but the hoodlums fell upon him and beat him to death with blackjacks. Mys, Mallor, screaming with terror, managed to get across the "district" line. TORNADO KILLS 9 IN SOUTH LIBERTY, S.C. March (CNS) A reckoning of life and property damage, caused by a tornado which last night struck the little town of Six Mile, near here, today revealed a toll of nine lives, nearly a score injured and a number of homes and other buildings destroyed. Most of the killed and injured are Negro workers who lived in flimsy shacks in the path of the tornado. fendants are guilty or innocent, but whether a jury will be willing to encourage the establishment of a white Republican party in Mississippi. Regardless of how illogical it may sound, the idea is rather firmly implanted in many minds that this is the real issue at stake. "Perry Howard, Ed Patton, J. C. Buchanan and George McLelland, the two last being former Federal officers, will face a jury composed of white Democrats who supported the party ticket last November, and the guilt or innocence of the defendants, consciously or unconsciously, will be a secondary issue. "History again repeats itself at the outset in the fact that the Government is at a decided disadvantage in the personnel of counsel engaged. Lester G. Fants, assistant United States district attorney, chief counsel for the prosecution, is a lawyer of exceptional ability, but he is out of his jurisdiction, so to speak, a stranger in a strange land utterly unacquainted with jurors in this section of the state, and without an adviser who can tell him whom to accept and whom to reject. Millar McGilchrist, a special assistant to the Attorney General, is an able, serious-minded lawyer but utterly untrained in the gentle but important art of jury picking. "Defense Watches Jury "The defense is selecting Judge Martin Miller, former circuit judge and district attorney, as associate counsel, has enlisted perhaps the best jury picket in the state, a man of wide acquaintance and whose legal attainments compare favorable with the brilliant trio of attorneys who staged the defense in the Jackson trial. "Perry Howard, chief defendant, who has more at stake than any of the defendants, is apparently confident of acquittal. "I am confident the white men of Mississippi will give me a square deal, and that is all I am asking—just a square deal," says Howard. "They gave me that in Jackson, and I have every reason to believe I will get the same thing in Meridian." "A veteran member of the Meridian bar, after careful study of the list of 25 jurors chosen as members of the regular panel for the court term, says: "It's a ten to one bet that the defendants will never be convicted by a jury from that jist. The Federal government has just about the same chance that a rank amateur would have with a bunch of professional poker players using marked cards." THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, MARCH 29, 1929 Woman's Hospitality Leads Man to Jail on Old Charge Woman's Hospitality Leads Man to Jail on Old Charge Invitation Proves Trap for Youth Accused of Assault Last December; Finds Police Waiting The story of how he had paid for a house full of furniture for his wife, provided for her and her mother and was later kicked out by the pair failed to save James Jumper from a fine of $15 when he was convicted of assaulting his wife in police court, Monday. Jumper was arrested on a warrant obtained on December 11, 1928, when the assault is said to have taken place, but has remained at large until recently when he was invited to a house by a woman known to him only as Aida, and upon his arrival he was surprised by the police. Jumper was accused of beating his wife, knocking her down and brutally assaulting her. He admitted the assault, but declared that it occurred when his wife insisted upon running around with the man by whom he was employed. College Women Discuss Problems at Howard The National Association of College Women held a two-day session at Howard University with deans and advisers to women for the purpose of discussing some of the major problems in the education of Negro college women.

The announcement said this increase was due to the "refusal to accept the benefits of the prohibition law," and advocated a vigorous educational campaign, especially for young people. Foreclosure On Temple Sought to foreclosure but stated that they would advertise the property upon an order of the court. Breach of Contract The filing of the suit by the construction company through Attorneys Douglas, Obear & Douglas, followed. The Most Worshipful Acacia Grand Lodge, Free Ancient and Accepted Masons of the District of Columbia, and Heitmuller and David were named as defendants. In its bill of complaint the construction company claims that it is entitled to foreclosure because of breaches of the contract between it and the grand lodge by the latter, failure of the grand lodge to pay interest on the second deed of trust notes, and default in the payment of the principal and interest due on the first deed of trust. It will suffer irreparable damage and possible foreclosure under the first deed of trust by further delay, the construction company alleges. $224,262 Involved The Acacia grand lodge entered into a contract with the Loehler Construction Company, February 16, 1928. The construction company agreed to furnish all material and perform all work for the completion of the Masonic Temple. The grand lodge agreed to pay the construction company the sum of $224,262 in installments. The contract also provided that the property should be subject to a first deed of trust of $220,000 t be placed on it by the grand lodge. Prior to the beginning of work the grand lodge agreed to execute a second deed of trust, securing its notes of $150,000. The grand lodge also agreed to deliver to Martin J. McNamara and Levi H. David as trustees $105,000 of these second trust notes in escrow. Notes Due In the event the grand lodge failed to pay the contractor any monthly installment for labor and material, the trustees were authorized to deliver to the contractor these second trust notes in twice the amount of the deficiency in any installment. The notes were to be used by the contractor as collateral security upon which to borrow money to make up the deficiency. Default Charged The construction company states that it began to provide materials and to perform work for the construction and completion of the building February 25, 1928. By May 9, 1928, the grand lodge had defaulted in the payments then due it in the sum of $20,000, the construction company declares. The architect's certificate showing that the contractor was entitled to that SEVEN amount had been presented. McNamara and David delivered to the plaintiff eight of the $5,000 second trust notes. Similar defaults, it is alleged, occurred from time to time until by December 4, 1928, McNamara and David had delivered to the construction company 21 second trust notes totaling $105,000. Notes Not Redeemed The grand lodge failed to exercise the right reserved to it under the contract, to redeem any of these second trust notes, it is stated, and has never offered to pay to the construction company the amount of any deficiency in the installments due. Nor has the interest on these notes been paid, it is said. Interest Also Due Semi-annual interest in the amount of $7,525 on the first deed of trust became due February 26, 1029, and also the principal of one of the first trust notes in the amount of $5,000. Neither the interest nor the principal of the note has been paid, the construction company alleges, and the property is liable to immediate foreclosure under the first deed of trust. The grand lodge has also defaulted in a number of other payments under the contract with the construction company amounting to $24,585, according to certificates of the architect, in addition to its obligations under the first and second deeds of trust. DIAMOND COURT HIGH SCHOOL PHYSICAL DIRECTOR ADDS GOLF TO COURSES Because baseball, football, tennis and basketball are laid aside by men when they quit school, and occupy so few players in any game, Dr. E. B. Henderson, director of physical education in the high schools of the tenth to the thirteenth division, has introduced golf into the course. Having secured the assistance of Cyrus V. Shippen, one of the teachers of the Dumbar High School, and a former golf professional, Dr. Henderson aims to list the boys who have been caddies, as professionals who may be of assistance to the players who employ them, and other boys who may need the exercise in after school days when the more active games are forbidden. Dr. Henderson says "Golf is the ideal exercise, lending itself to the free time of the player." BEARS TROUNCE HOWARD, 33-22 Fast Baltimore Cagers Take Annual East Orange Tilt From Bisons EAST ORANGE, N.J.-Morgan College defeated Howard University Friday with a score of 33-32 to win the third game of the series. Howard led in the first ten minutes of play, but as a result of fast work by "Lanky" Jones, "Pinky" Clark, and Spencer were out-distanced 20-9 at half time. In the second half the Bisons fought hard, holding the Bears on even terms as indicated by the fact that both teams scored thirteen points. Coates and Beasley starred for Howard, accounting for seventeen points, while the whole Morgan line-up took part in the scoring of their team. Howard was without the services of their star center, Simpson, who was left in Washington by Coach Burr by reason of discipline.

LOCAL MAN MAKES HOLE IN ONE STROKE During a three-cornered match, Sunday morning, March 24, between James E. Jackson, Robert Pinkney and William S. Edwards, Jr., on the Lincoln Memorial Potomac Park golf course, James (Alamac) Jackson accomplished the feat which is the ambition of every golf player. Driving off, for hole No. 4, a 143-yard shot, the ball left on a line with the flag in No. 4 hole, struck about three feet from the green, then trickled into the cup. He was congratulated by a nearby four-some who witnessed the early season feat, and his fellow players. BUSINESS IS GOOD!

ARMSTR'NG WINS NAT'L TOURNEY Local Cagers Top Best Scholastic Teams in East At Hampton By James B. Clarke HAMPTON. Va. — Armstrong high of Washington, D.C., waded through a group of some of the finest high school teams in the country, undefeated, to be crowned the first national scholastic basketball champion at the first National Scholastic Basketball tournament. Douglass High, of Huntington, W. Va., was in the finals with Armstrong. High, but. was defeated, thereby placing them second in the tournament. Union High of Hampton, Va., came third. Ten teams were represented through the two days of hard playing. Addison High, of Roanoke, Va.; Armstrong High of Washington, D.C.; Booker T. Washington of Rocky Mount, N.C.; Brown Creek District High School, of Kimball, W. Va.; Christian College High School, of Franklinton, N.C.; Douglass High, of Huntington, W. Va.; Huntington High, of Newport News, Va.; Wilson High, of Wilson, N.C.; Johnson County High School of Smithfield, N.C.; Union High, of Hampton, Va. Of the ten teams represented one came from Washington, D.C., three from Virginia, four from North Carolina, and two from West Virginia. With these teams came to Hampton some of the finest and best basketball players in this section of the country. Not only did the tournament prove to be an immense success, through the efforts of Mr. Charles H. Williams, physical director of Hampton Institute, but it proved conclusively that it is possible to declare a National High School champion. Trophies to Winners After the final game between Armstrong High and Douglass, Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton, made a short talk commending the teams for their hard clean playing and spirit of playing the game for the game's sake. He then presented to the captain of Armstrong High of Washington a beautiful gold basketball, which was mounted on a mahogany base. A second prize which was a silver basketball, was presented to Douglass High team, and a bronze basketball was presented to Union High of Hampton. In addition to these prizes individual basketball, of charms size, were presented to eight individuals on each of the three winning teams. Another prize of interest which was given by the Spaulding Sporting Goods Company, a silver loving cup, was presented to W. Moss, of Kimball, W. Va. This cup was given to Moss as being among the best players and above all the cleanest sport of the teams. Champions Suffer Defeat Champions Game Day All of the state champions suffered defeat in the early stages of the tournament, and strange to say none of them mustered enough energy to stage a comeback and grab third place. Huntington High, of Newport News, Va., was the first victim to suffer the sting. Union High, of Hampton, one of Huntington's ancient rivals defeated her in the second game of the tournament. Booker T. Washington High, of North Carolina, was the next to be defeated among the state champions. The fast hard fighting team of Armstrong's defeated her. Kimball High, West Virginia's state champions, was defeated by Johnson County High School, of Smithfield, N.C. Final Game Thriller Armstrong High and Douglass High took the floor at four o'clock to decide who would be the undefeated of the ten teams. Douglass High journeyed from West Virginia with only five men, and two previous games soon found herself playing teams with only three men, the others having been put out on personal fouls. Therefore, Douglass knew well that she could not afford to lose a man on fouls, so the playing from the beginning had to be careful and cautious. Armstrong took advantage of this break and ran up a safe lead in the first quarter. Douglass soon found herself with her back to the wall, and then she began to play real basketball. The score was tied once or twice, but never did Douglass forge ahead. The game was bitter from beginning to end, as the first National championship hung in the balance.

MARCH 29, 1929 HOWARD WINS 19; LOSES 10 DURING 1929 SEASON HOWARD WINS 19; LOSES 10 DURING 1929 SEASON The Howard University cagers ended a brilliant season, failing by only one point to double their wins over their losses in a total of 29 games played during the 1928-29 basketball season. For the third consecutive year the Morgan College quintet proved to be the Bisons' most formidable and consistent rival, taking the Howarddites in for three games at liberal margins. Seminary and Hampton also stopped the Bisons in two encounters each. The other string of C.I.A.A. teams proved easy marks for the collegians and the season closed with Howard losing 10 and copping 19 games. A. & T. 2 Clark 2 Johnson C.

Several veterans are with the squad this year, and it looks as though the poets may be formidable on the diamond. The infield should perform rather creditably. The infield candidates include: "Hank" Anderson, manager, who will hold down the initial sack. Anderson was a regular first baseman last year, and showed good form. Having a season before him "Hank" should give Coach Evans no worry as to the first base position. Gilmore, last year's swatting second sacker, is with the team again this year, and consequently the second base job is apparently safe. Other veterans in the infield are Douglas, third baseman; and Steele, shortstop. This quartet, Anderson, Gilmore, Steele, and Douglass, should prove to be an airtight infield combination. However, they will have to show great form to surpass such rookies as Washington and Hawkings. Barnes and Chricklow, veteran outfielders, will no doubt strengthen the garden trio. These two boys performed in great style last season, and expect to repeat this season. The team has had only light practice so far, but within a few days the crack of the hat will be heard throughout the field. The pitching position is open this year. Such fingers as Hand, Honesty and Ingram show great promise. Hand did not do much last season, but should benefit from one campaign with the team. "Hank" Anderson, manager, is exceedingly optimistic. He is of the opinion that Dunbar will offer keen competition on the diamond this year and that the team should be one of the best teams of the last four years. Anderson says, "We are confident that we will wrest the district championship from Armstrong this year." L The call for baseball practice was answered by fifty-two men. Among the new candidates Coach Burr has many splendid prospects in his freshman crew, notably among whom are Marshall, the Bison's football star of last fall, who is trying for short stop; Boswell, of Jersey, for second base; Martin, of Cincinnati, for third; Stansberry, another Jersey lad who looks well at first; and Scott, who played quarter on the freshman team, is showing up well as pitcher, with Hines behind the bat. SALISBURY, N.C.-Coach Walters, the new Bear mentor. He is a product of Livingstone athletics and played professional ball several years before accepting the present post. He is expected to lead the Livingstone team to victory over Smith on Easter Monday. STANDARD OIL LAYS OFF NEGRO WORKERS CHICAGO, Ill.

Longfellow and Hideomi Mori, former swimming coach at Meiji University, Tokyo, Japan, has met with great success at Howard University with seventy-five students actually enrolled and many others participating in special events. Twenty-five of the students enrolled were from the High School Boy Scout Organization and the local Y.M.C.A. The Commodore was especially pleased with the high points scored by the young women, also by the splendid performances of John Harrison, candidate for examiners' certificate. The institute closed Saturday afternoon with final examinations and a pageant entitled, "How Swimming Grew Up," by Commodore Longfellow. Howard Students To Have Book Store The Board of Trustees of Howard University has passed a ruling providing for a book store on the campus on or after September 30, 1929, the same to be established at a place and under conditions to be determined by a committee of the Board of Trustees. It is contended by students that such a store would not only be a matter of convenience to students and faculty, but will provide books at a greatly reduced cost and afford opportunity for employment and experience to students in the Department of Business Administration. High Negro Death Rate Blamed for Failure of Life Insurance Firms The first of a series of special lectures to the class in Life Insurance at Howard University was delivered on Tuesday morning, March 12. at 8 o'clock, by Mr. Charles Fearing, manager of the Washington district of the North GRIDIROM TRACK TIGERS ELECT OFFICERS AUTO REPAIRING . . .

Members who were on the roll last year are urged to report next Tuesday at 400 W street, northwest, to be measured for uniforms. Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company of Durham, N.C. Mr. Fearing used for his subject, "The American Experience Table of Mortality as Applied to the Negro Risks." He brought to the class some concrete examples as to why the Negro as an insurance risk is becoming unpopular. Several insurance companies that are not dependent upon this group for their support are trying to eliminate the Negro; and at the same time he explained the difficulty our own companies have in trying to adjust themselves to this standard mortality table. Because of the high death rate among the Negro group, a strict application of this table to insurance companies is largely responsible for the slow progress and oftimes the failure of these companies. During the course of the talk the speaker impressed upon the minds of the students that the field of insurance has no limit for the college trained man who has the ability to catch the vision and who has qualities that are so vital to the success of a person entering this field. Prof. J. W. Lewis, of the Department of Commerce and Finance and the instructor in Life Insurance, made it possible for Mr. Fearing to speak to the class and he has arranged for a series of such lectures to follow.
