She is Miss Ethyle Wise, pretty school teacher. The Japanese cherry blossoms lure thousands annually and here's a bit of history concerning them.

A Hero of World Assault Ch Man Who Captured 26 Germans Wins Freedom By Plea The grim struggle of the World War of 1917 was recalled in police court, Wednesday, when Sergeant William H. Johnson, who on the night of May 15, 1918, in company with Needham Roberts, captured 26 Germans in a single night, was arraigned on a charge of assault. Sergeant Johnson, now but a shadow of the man who covered himself with glory on the battle fields of France, was dismissed when Armond W. Scott, attorney, related the thrilling incident that more than ten years ago brought Johnson the highest honor of the French government, the Crox de Guere. The arrest of Johnson grew out of a drunken brawl following a card game in an apartment on Seventh street. Johnson was given a house and lot by the state of New York upon his sreture to America, and could have lived comfortable in that state, as he also received a compensation of approximately $100 per month from the government, but he preferred to live in Washington, and here he has led a colorful and hectic career. Judges Relent Living almost in squalor in a room that now serves as a rendezvous for underworld characters and gamblers, the one time idol is constantly in conflict with the police. He has faced charges involving the sale of liquor and has been arranged on numerous small offenses. His war record has always served him in good stead and on one occasion caused Judge Mattingly, known throughout the underworld to be the most unrelenting jurist on the bench, to say, "I'll step down off the bench before I'll send a man like that to jail." Johnson has undoubtedly suffered severely from his experience in the trenches and this coupled with a lack of education makes him a pitable figure. He still goes by his army title, and is known by all as "Sarg." Johnson. NEIGHBORS QUARREL Miss Ethel Reed, of 2208 Eighth street, was sewerely cut during an altercation with Louis Beverly, 2009 Eighth street, northwest, on Tuesday. She was treated at the Freedmen's Hospital for an incised wound of the side. THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY FIRST ST.. S. E. POPUL Japanese resident of New York made her a gift of 2,000 of these trees. When they reached America they contained an insect that was injurious to American plants. For that reason they were thrown overboard. The city of Tokyo then gave the United States 3,000 of these trees. The water side around the Speedway and the Tidal Basin have these trees in blossom during the early spring when thousands of people view them. —Photo by Scurlock All War Freed of Charge Here WELL KNOWN CAFE MAN SUCCUMBS HERE William B.

Washington Tribune To Urg BOY VAUDEVILLE ARTIST IS ASSAULTED Matinee Idols Engage In Fracas Over Girl, Claims The unyielding code of the theatre—the show must go on—was exemplified at the Howard Theatre last week. Putney Dandridge, the jumping jack conductor of the Howard Theatre orchestra, and one of the stage idols of local school teachers, was unable to appear at six performances last week on account of a scalp wound inflicted by Charles Ray, juvenile lead, and also an idol of both school teacher and school girl, but the show went on. In Cafe The two actors got into an alteration in the Industrial Cafe early Wednesday morning. Ray hit Dandridge over the head with a piece of pipe. Dandridge was taken to Freedmen's Hospital where he was treated. He was unable to appear at the performances of the Howard Theatre stock company of which he is a member. Two Versions There are two versions of the affair. Neither one of them could be confirmed because of the reluctance of stage folks to talk about the scandals of one another. Neither Shelton Brooks, master of ceremonies at the Howard Theatre and another stage idol of Washington school teachers, nor Galli De Gaston, comedian, would discuss the affair. One version is that Dandridge and Ray engaged in an argument over a young woman from Baltimore, Md. Her name could not be learned. Struck With Pipe The other version is that Dandridge under the influence of a stim- (Continued on page 2) WORKERS SAVED BY NEGRO MINER PITTSBURGH (CNS)—Many workers rescued from the Kinklock mine disaster declared that they owe their lives to the intelligence and courage of a young Negro snapper, who risked his own life to save others. Immediately upon learning of the explosion, the Negro worker whose name has not been announced, erected a brattice at the main headquarters and ran back, at considerable risk to himself, to warn the other miners. With a dozen workers still missing 46 bodies have been removed from the mines. Many were dragged out in burlap bags and taken to the morgue for identification. Experts declare that a large part of these dead were killed by black explosion sometime after the explosion. One miner, Lawrence Rillhouse, had been imprisoned 27 hours before he was rescued. English Company To Sue Liberian Govt. LONDON.—The Liberian Rubber Corporation which spent $500,000 in trying to develop a rubber plantation in Liberia and failed, has asked the English government to assist in recovering some of the money spent in the development. The land has since been leased by Liberia to the Firestone Rubber Company of America. A question in parliament recently brought forth the fact that the English company has a remedy in Liberian courts. They have their choice as to whether they will sue in Monrovia, with the English watching the proceedings or whether they will prefer the British government to invite Liberia to submit the whole case to arbitration. Egg Rollers Observe Gala Easter Celebration A FRAMED WIFE TO SAVE HIS SWEETHEART Claims Lover Was His Sister, So Police Lock Up Other Woman On Charge Those who think that love is dead would have had their confidence in the prowess of cupid revived had they heard the romantic details of a four-sided love affair that was beared before Judge Ralph Given in the police court, Tuesday. The principals in the little act were Letia Douglass, Walter Hicks, James Douglass and Mollie Hicks, and they were drawn into contact with the law when the former two were arraigned on a statuary charge after the police had raided the apartment at 1731 Willard place. Says She Was Framed According to the police they raided the apartment and found Hicks and Mrs. Douglass together, preparing to retire. Mrs. Mollie Hicks was left unmolested when Hicks declared that she was his sister, with whom he boarded. A bomb shell was thrown into the hearing when Mrs. Douglass declared that she had been framed by Hicks and the other woman, who was not his sister at all, but his sweetheart. Hicks in order to save his fiance, she declared, palmed her off as his sister and permitted the police to arrest her. More romance was brought into the trial when James Douglass, estranged husband of Mrs. Douglass, appeared in her behalf and declared that although she had deserted him and went to live at the Hicks home, he did not wish to see any harm done to her and came down to testify that Hicks and Mrs. Hicks were not sister and brother, but were living together as man and wife. Judge Given dismissed the case, informing the police that they had the right house, but got the wrong woman. Cloudy skies, a reluctant sun, a mischievous wind that occasionally sent tiny tots scampering after their bonnets, all failed with the aid of the meanst weather man in the world to dampen the ardor of the hundreds of joymakers who swarmed into the zoological gardens to observe the annual Easter Monday festival which has been a tradition here. The balloonman with his peanuts and pop-corn did a flourishing business, as the first picture shows. The lower left reveals a bevy of children gathered around the drinking fountain as parents look on, and the lower right shows many sniffing the first breezes of spring with their empty picnic boxes bulging out of the container. Nothing like a good lunch, you know. And that little fat rolly bolly boy at the top—who is he?

Her little son, Samuel, accompanied her on the trip returning home last Monday. CEYLON BOSSES' LEAGUE FORMED COLOMBO, Ceylon (CNS)—Employers here have formed the "Employers' Federation of Ceylon," under the auspices of the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce, to fight wage increase demands. Local druggists and dealers in cosmetics and beauty preparations are expected this week to join in the nation-wide protest against the Goldn Brown Chemical Company, dispensers of hair preparations for colored people, because of insults to the race sent out in the advertising campaign. The company distributed a circular letter to druggists all over the country announcing that they were giving as a premium a luck bag. The letter says in part: "We are carrying on a national and international campaign in the majority of Negro papers, magazines and other mediums that the darkey reads. "The average darkey will be glad to get one of these genuine dyed in the red luck bags. The sample package will bring colored people into your store thick and fast." The copy brought forth a storm of protest and druggists all over the country rebelled against the product. In Chicago entire stocks were burned publicly and Philadelphia and other cities boycotted the goods. Dr. Edward Harris, pharmaceutical editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, has been asked to carry the protest to local pharmacists. DR. HOWARD KANE SPEAKS The Medico-Chirurgical Society, of which Dr. A. Hugh Simmons is the president, held its regular monthly meeting in the auditorium of the Howard University medical school, Thursday evening. The speaker was Dr. Howard F. Kane, professor of obstetrics in the Howard medical school. His subject was "the Toxiemas of Pregnancy." Dr. S. LeCount Cook, visiting gynecologist to Freedmen's Hospital, opened the general discussion. "NUMBERS" SCANDAL IN UNDERWORLD Bankers Accused of Juggling Winning Numbers To Keep From Pay- The underworld is all agog over a new practice attributed to Policy Barons of circulating several winning numbers so that in the confusion they can refuse to pay off on any. For the past two weeks there has been a constant disturbance among the thousands of followers of the famous numbers game which pays heavy odds on the Federal Reserve Bank returns each day. At 12 m., each day, several fictitious winning numbers are circulated by the various bookies, and when the holders of any one of these numbers attempt to collect the banker declares he is paying off on another number. Some bankers are even said to refuse flatly to pay off on any number until they obtain official returns, and some not at all. Touches All Classes That the "numbers" craze has touched all stratas of society is evidenced by the fact that it is the subject of conversation wherever people gather. Society ladies at their bridge parties, doctors in their offices, school teachers, stenographers and business men discuss the game with the same enthusiasm as the gamblers and "hustlers" who frequent the numerous dives and rendezvous of the Northwest section and depend largely on their winnings for their livelihood. Rumor also says that even ardent church-goers stop past their favorite bankers to leave their bets before proceeding to class or choir meeting. Many Tricks Many tricks are employed to boost business for the bankers. One of the most frequently practiced is that of an accomplice of a runner (Continued on page 2) CAPITAL EDITION HOLD-UP TRY COST YOUTH HIS LIFE Empty Gun Used as Blunt Results in Tragedy When Man Fires One youth is dead and another is being held for an investigation by police in connection with an attempted hold-up in which James Armstrong, of 1312 W street, northwest, was fatally shot, late Wednesday night. The youth, who is well known throughout the northwest section, was shot in the neck and body by Sol Buckner, white operator of a confectionery store at 401 O street, northwest, who informed police that Armstrong, in company with another youth held him up at the point of a revolver which later proved to be empty. The dead boy, who died with the unloaded weapon in his hand, is said to be twenty years of age. Was Incorrigible That the victim was early in his youth of a venturesome nature is evidenced by the fact that his mother found it necessary to send him to the country about six years ago to save him from the influence of city life when he refused to attend school. He spent about six years in Christianburg, Va., with relatives; but recently returned to the city, where he refused to live at his mother's home. The father died nine years ago, leaving James, two younger brothers and a sister. At the time of the shooting the family was not certain where he had his abode. One Makes Escape A companion of the dead boy made his escape following the hold-up try and police are trying to establish his identity. Everet Armstrong, the 19-year-old brother of the slain youth, is being held. The younger boy made an enviable record last year as a backfield star on the Armstrong football team. Police are trying to get him to divulge the names of his brother's associates in an effort to locate the missing accomplice. NEGRO EDITORS IN ACCORD WITH HOOVER PLANS Many Papers Think President's Statement Will Create "Two Party" Plan In South A cross section of the press shows that most of the editors favor the principle laid down by President Hoover last week in his position regarding patronage in the South. The Tribune of Staunton, Va., says: "The Negro of the South has no special desire to lead in the realm of politics. He welcomes the clean-up suggested, if the reorganization is to be made on a fair basis. But if the office holders are just going to add a few more disgruntled Democrats to the pay rolls, then this reorganization will be bitterly fought, in Virginia, which President Hoover calls a border state. We believe that there is a fair quota of men at the head of the party who desire that all men be allowed to vote who are qualified."

PROFS, eee Members of the college faculty at Howard University receivedd in crease in salary today. This in- crease was made possible by a gift of $80,000 from the General Edu- cation Board of New York City. ‘The raise is a result of an effort by President Mordecai W. Johnson since the beginning of his admin- istration to secure adequate sala- ries for his faculty. While the in- crease does not fully solve the problem of inadequate pay, it pro- vides substantial relief in many in- stances, In the distribution of the fund, consideration is given to longevity and meritorious service of teach- ers. In no institution has thete been a more sacrificial group of teachers than at Howard Univer- sity, The consciousness of render- ing @ distinct service to the field of education and of making their lives count where their services are most needed have been actuating mo- tives. ‘The fact of their meager pay has not deterred them in the least in the quantity or quality of their work. Rockefeller’s Letter ‘The spirit which prompted the aid of the General Education Board is expressed in the statement of Mr. Rockefeller, its founder: “The attention of the American public has recently been drawn to the urgent and immediate necessity of providing more adequate salaries to members of the teaching pro- fession. It is of the highest im- portance that those entrusted with the education of youth and the in- crease of knowledge should not be led to abandon their calling by rea- son of financial limitations. It is of equal importance to our future welfare and progress that able and aspiring young men and women should not for similar reasons be deterred from devoting their lives to teaching.” ~The effort to lift the level of in- come available for teachers and administrative officers will be con- ‘tinued and added funds for the pur- pose will be sought by the admin- istration, THE BIBLE-WAY CHURCH OF CHRIST MOVES TO NEW LOCATION The Bible-Way Church of Christ which was formerly located at 1409 Ninth street, northwest, has moved to its new church home at 220 H street, northwest.

FORUM EXPENSIVE FUNERALS To the Editor: The colored peo- ple of Washington are to some ex- tent like the Chinese, who have a Peculiar iden about life and death. They believe that if a man is born in Canton and dies in Llyanshang, he is blessed above all the rest of his fellows in China. To be born jin Canton means to be born of a pretty mother, because that’s where the, pretty women live, and to die in Llyanshang means fo be buried in a fine coffin, because that’s where the fine coffins are made. A certain rich man at the south, whose business was rated at four million dollars, died of old age a few years before the World War; when he saw that he was going to die, called his children around his bedside, and said to his sons: “Boys, I am going to die, but don’t go to any big expense for my fun- eral; there is no need of spending aslot of money on me to rot in the ground. The money saved will do you all more good than me. Bury me. in one of those $75 caskets in the store, it will be fine enough for me.” His dying request was carried out. The Negro should eliminate the peculiar idea of carrying his spade in his hand and coffin on his, back. He should prepare to live as though he expected to live to be as old as Methuselah, and dying will take care of itself. A respectable bur- ial is due every man, but an ex- pensive funeral is too much for poor people, which seems to be characteristic of the colored peo- ple of Washington. The more fra- ternal orders they belong to, or insurance they carry, the more ex- pensive the fuenral. ‘Very little, if anything, is left for the benficiary. If the colored people of Washing- ton and elsewhere would learn @ lessqn of economy in funerals and other things from the rich man, I am quite sure that they would be in a better shape to live and to lie. ¥.

DUDLEY HAS NO HORSES AT BOWIE DUDLEY HAS NO HORSES AT BOWIE Local Sportsman Selecting New Stable for Summer Season BOWIE RACE TRACK—For the first time in many years the springtime turf season opened here with no entries from the famous stables of S. H. Dudley, Washington's leading Negro sportsman, listed to run. Mr. Dudley, however, is much in evidence both in the grandstand and in the stables where he is looking over new horse flesh toward an end of restoring his string which he sold at the close of last year's season. He hopes to have several promising racers on the tracks of the country this summer. Many Attend The opening, coming as it did on Easter Monday, proved most ideal for Washingtonians who took advantage of the holiday occasion to enjoy the sport of kings. Hundreds traveled by both train and automobile and betting was said to be heavy. SIGMA DOWNS JELLOW JACKETS In their initial appearance of the season, the basketball team of Sigma, whose qualities remained a matter of conjecture, removed all doubts as to what's what when they took Community into camp, Friday evening, March 22, at the Colonnade. The game was fast and furious. At the close of the first half Sigma was in the lead by one point. However, the Sigma team opened the second half with new vim and vigor, and gradually drew away from the amateur District champions of 1924-28, until when the final whistle blew Sigma showed a comfortable lead. Score 32:28. Not to be contented with a single defeat, Community clamored for more, and a return game was played at the Colonnade. March 25. The clubmen started with a rush and before the first half ended the score stood 15-4. Community. Not to be denied, the Sigma tossers came back with a bang-un DIAMOND COURT DUNBAR TRACK MEN WARMING UP FOR SEASON By Harry Parker The Dunbar High School track athletes have begun their strenuous, hard training, which is necessary for track work. The Dunbar boys have been handing their Arm-strong opponents lickings rather regularly for the past several years and the team is expected to perform in the most creditable style again this season. Although several dependable stars are lost through graduation, the Red and Black tracksters are anticipating holding the good name they have acquired as headliners in inter-high track circles. Among the clever performers who will be missed this year are: Jefferson, Wooden, Payne, Larry, and Stokes, all stalwart athletes. Coach Pinderhughes, sterling track mentor, has not yet called his charges out to regular practice, but many of the boys are seen each day training for the coming season. Among those seen in preliminary workouts are: Hooks Davis, veteran track star; Settle, another dependable; Miller, Minns, and Lipscomb. The initiative these lads have shown in coming out for training on their own accord is highly commendable. The presence of three seasoned men in Settle, Davis and Walker, should ease Coach Pinderhughes' warriors considerably. "Hooks" Davis is well known for his faithful work in track and field events. His record as a high jumper is particularly outstanding. Settle is noted for capability as a 440 and relay runner. He is a seasoned sprinter and is expected to repeat his beautiful work. Walker, another dependable, is a spinner of rare ability. His work of last year cannot be spoken of lightly. Minns, a football and basketball star, is trying for the track team too, and judging from his performances in the other two sports, he should develop into a stellar track man. Dunbar is expected to be represented in the Penn Relays at Philadelphia this year and this will undoubtedly stimulate an added interest and a nip and tuck battle for berths on the team. It is likely that Coach Pinderhughes will call his men out to regular practice after the holidays and the boys will settle down to real business; and it is hoped that in a few weeks Dunbar will be in the midst of its usual properous and successful track season. Armstrong Rookies Lose Close Game To Alumni With green players in every department, the outfit representing Armstrong made the more experienced players from former Armstrong championship teams extend themselves to take the l昂 gend of 5-4 count, on the Walker Stadium, Good Friday. The colks showed their inexperience on the bases by blowing several opportunities for runs. Four of the five Alumni runs resulted a 5-4 count, on the Walker Sta-a puny little pop that either the pitcher or catcher could have taken without any effort. Blakey, Armstrong's starting hurler, showed a remarkable change of pace that caused ten opponents to "whiff" before Scott took up the burden in the sixth session. Levi for the ex-Armstrongers, pitched his usual steady game and would have never been in danger if his supporting cast had not cracked on two occasions. He fanned twelve. Moten, catching his first regular, had a finger badly split by a pitched ball, and showed his gameness by protesting his removal by the coach. Departmental League Meets Officers of the Departmental League were selected last week at a meeting of team managers, and plans for an active season were formulated. Five teams will be represented in the league this summer: Treasury, Navy Yard. Veterans' Bureau, Agriculture, and Government Printing Office having indicated that they will place teams in the field. There is also a possibility of the District Building entering the league. Playing schedules will be arranged at a meeting to be held next week. Umpire E. Richardson was again elected to "call 'em" this year, and Bill Trayham was selected as official scorer. Officers of the league were elected as follows: William Ellis, president; J. C. Frazier, vice-president; A. Cole, treasurer; and J. T. Hughes, secretary. Starting - Lighting - Ignition BATTERIES RECHARGED 514 Fla. Ave., N.W.

Longshoremen Fight For Higher Wages CHESTER, Pa. (CNS) — The brazen thievery of 40 per cent of every longshoreman's pay wages, which has been a practice of the contracting stevedores here at the expense of the Negro dock workers is being bitterly fought by a group of militant Negro longshoremen, numbering approximately 185, under the leadership of Thomas Wolford, a leader of the Negro workers here, and a member of the American Negro Labor Congress. Wolford has been barred from the numerous riverside industries of Chester because of his courageous militancy against the crooked bosses and because of his attempts to unionize the longshoremen. Bosses Cheat Workers "Foremen of the longshoremen cheat the longshoremen out of 35 cents of every hour's pay of every worker, giving our men only 50 cents an hour, instead of the 85 cents the men should get. The pay of every other seaport along the Atlantic seaboard is 85 cents." Wolford told a C.N.S. representative. School Children Killed ATLANTA, Ga.

Six years ago Carey was a chorus boy in Sissle and Blake's "Chocolate Dandies" at twenty-five dollars a week. Today his accomplishments include the staging of no less than a dozen Broadway musicals in less than two years time. Mr. Carey had dreams and ambitions, and taking the advice of the famous Charles Davis, he took charge of the Alhambra Theatre. It was while at this post that he conceived the idea of dance units for picture house presentations and organized the sixteen famous Alhambra girls, scheduled to remain at this theatre for a single week, the girls proved so popular that they have been there continually ever since. It was from this same unit that Miller and Lyle found Billy Yarbo, the little end comedienne, who was later featured in the Broadway version of "Keep Shuffin," and also Shubert's "Just-A-Minute." Wilimena Wade and Corinne Criffith, from this unit are now the end girls in Lew Leslie's New York company of "Blackbirds." Through Mr. Carey's efforts, he was called upon by the Shuberts to stage the dances of "Lovely Lady" and by Roger Wolfe Kahn and James P. McEvoy to stage "Americana." Last summer Mr. Carey took his dance unit to the Lincoln Theatre for a week's engagement and stayed at this house for six months then was contracted by Mr. A. E. Lichtman to go to Washington, where he wanted to try stage presentations at the Howard Theatre, that had only played road shows before, and now Addison Carey is in his fifteenth week, where he still has his famous unit with such clever artists as Shelton Brooks, Galli DeGaston, Charles Ray, Putney Dandridge and other artists are booked through his booking offices, Carey, Marshall and Davis Theatrical Enterprises, New York City. So with his first assignment. Addison Carey went to work and the rest is stage history. Republic "Lady of the Pavements," D. W. Griffith's latest production, will be the feature picture shown at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, April 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.

Paramount recently startled the motion picture world with its release of all-talking "Interference," which was heralded as being the most perfectly made talking picture yet produced. The same elements that created the sensation in the case of "Interference" were used in producing "The Doctor's Secret," which assures film fans of witnessing a perfect technical and dramatic performance. On the screen Thursday and Friday will be seen Lillian Gish and Ronald Coleman in "The White Sister." "Passion" and "The Four Horsemen" are among the pictures which have been revived successfully at the Lincoln Theatre in the last few years. In each case the second showing was deemed expedient as a result of letters, oral communications or a genera 1 indirect "sounding-out" of public opinion. A great many letters have been received. "The White Sister," Major Edward Bowes says, and so the picture, first seen at that theatre more than four years ago, has been brought back. There will also be seen and heard IVtphone and Movietone acts which will be changed with each change of feature picture. BROADWAY THEATRE A short time ago the world was shocked at the appalling white slave traffic conditions that existed and were exposed as a result of an investigation instigated by a committee of social reform leaders appointed by the League of Nations. The facts exposed in the Europe and America on the printed newspaper page made people gasp with its astounding revelations, but now the League of Nations has gone one better by announcing that they have lent their co-operation to the making of a motion picture production in which all these horrible truths are revealed on the picture, the cast of professional actors were used only at such times as the actual principals could not be obtained and that on the whole the original characters of the story are men and women who were actually engaged in the trafficking of women and girls. The plot is a real one based on actual facts unearthed during the course of the investigation. The film makers had the full co-opera- YMPIC THEATRE Street, Between 14th and 15th Streets, N.W.

The Florida avenue-U street section of nine or ten blocks offers the men or women who can develop this leadership a wonderful opportunity to apply their knowledge and ability in more than a dozen lines in which there would be practically no competition.

You can conclude of such a city? Such is the plight of Negro Washington. All of these could and should be in operation in this fast growing city. Less than a half million dollars would be sufficient to open every business that we have mentioned. How many of our forth-coming graduates of Howard University and the normal and high schools of the city could find employment therein? As it is where will they go, and what will they find to do? The annual turnover from the investment of a half million dollars in the lines mentioned would run into the millions of dollars.

Our groceries and drug stores would be far more formidable and be able to meet competition by entering a chain or forming one of their own. In the manufacturing field, the whole gamut is an open possibility here. 127,600 people need, consume and use everything and anything that is made. Why not get our share of the work and the profits from manufacturing? Let us quit protesting orally of our condition, but invest our time, money and thought into a more tangible protest, which will be more readily considered and quickly heard. Our condition is an economically weak one, but we can remedy it. But we must do more than protest by wind-jamming. We must look to our efforts, our own capital, our own plans and program. We have more college graduates here in Washington, who are doing absolutely nothing to show for their training, than any city in this country. We have the capital and we have the consumers.

They are: The most startling news for the South this year was that contained in the Spectator, recently, dealing with murder, homicides and suicides, by Dr. Hoffman. He shows that the ten leading cities in a list of 136, for 1928, were all in the South as follows: | Population | Homicides | Rate Per 100,000 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Memphis, Tenn. | 190,700 | 115 | 60.5 | | Birmingham, Ala. | 222,400 | 122 | 54.9 | | Jacksonville, Fla. | 140,700 | 74 | 52.6 | | Atlanta, Ga. | 256,100 | 115 | 45.1 | | Little Rock, Ark. | 79,200 | 30 | 37.9 | | Macon, Ga. | 61,200 | 22 | 35.9 | | Savannah, Ga. | 99,900 | 31 | 31.0 | | Nashville, Tenn. | 139,600 | 39 | 37.9 | | Houston, Tex. | 275,000 | 72 | 26.1 | | New Orleans, La. | 429,400 | 111 | 25.9 | While the six largest cities in the country show a decidedly low rate compared with the Southern cities. They are: | Population | Homicides | Rate Per 100,000 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Detroit, Mich. | 1,373,000 | 228 | 16.5 | | Chicago, Ill. | 3,157,400 | 498 | 15.8 | | Cleveland, O. | 1,010,300 | 134 | 13.3 | | Philadelphia, Pa. | 2,064,200 | 182 | 8.8 | | New York, N.Y. | 6,017,500 | 401 | 6.7 | | Los Angeles, Calif. | 1,500,000 | 70 | 4.7 | Here we have a comparison which when the South was permitted to disregards, lawlessness set up and has continued. Dr. Hoffman contradicts himself in paragraph he says that the Southern city "relatively a large colored population." when the rates are worked out for the two that both races in the South have a decrease than in the North, Central West, or districts this: "The fact that Detroit has the of the six largest cities is, of course, larger colored population of that city."

Here we have a comparison which bears out our contention that when the South was permitted to disregard the 14th and 15th Amendments, lawlessness set up and has continued unabated. Dr. Hoffman contradicts himself regarding the Negro. In one paragraph he says that the Southern cities with the highest rate have "relatively a large colored population." In another he says, "But even when the rates are worked out for the two races separately it is shown that both races in the South have a decidedly higher homicide death rate than in the North, Central West, or far West." And that contradicts this: "The fact that Detroit has the highest homicide death rate of the six largest cities is, of course, largely attributed to the increasing colored population of that city." Atlantic City, N.J., heads the northern cities with 45.1. We wonder what Dr. Hoffman "attributes" that high rate to. There is not a large colored population there. Detroit does not have as many Negroes as Washington, whose rate is 10.5, nor Baltimore with a rate of 9.0; nor Pittsburgh, with 9.6. These cities with larger Negro populations than Detroit refute Dr. Hoffman's slur on the race in Detroit. The same thing is true of Memphis. While it heads the list in the United States, as well as in the south, his reference to "cities with highest rate have relatively large colored population" will not hold water. Savannah, Ga., whose rate is 50 per cent of Memphis, has 47.5 per cent colored population to Memphis 37.7 per cent colored. Norfolk, Va., is about the same size as Memphis, and has a colored population of about 36.1 per cent against the 37.7 per cent of Memphis, and her rate is only 11.9 vs. 60.5 of Memphis. Richmond is nearer Memphis in size and per centage of colored population, and her rate is 11.8. Even New Orleans, which is the largest city in the south, with more than an hundred thousand Negroes, and its rate is only 25.9. Now compare Detroit with Los Angeles, Calif., which is larger but with relatively the same colored population and nearly an hundred thousand Mexicans, and its rate is only 4.7. So Dr. Hoffman contradicts his imputations to colored people being responsible for high homicide rate by his own table. Another cause for the south's high rate which he fails to mention, is that of illiteracy, poverty and race prejudice. Both races are affected by these hindering causes. The states in which the ten cities are located are at the bottom of the list in illiteracy and income tax. And while they all have the death penalty and sell firearms, they have disfranchising laws, mob violence, less libraries, and poorer school facilities, and less qualified teachers than the northern tier of states. Which is cheaper to a state, to furnish the best of schools and libraries, or maintain large police force, courts, jails, asylums, and poor houses? Editor of the Tribune: May I speak a word of praise for the editorial concerning bank deposits which appeared in last week's Tribune? If your figures are correct, and they appear to have a background of fact, Major R. R. Wright and the National Negro Bankers' Association should explain to your readers how they reach the conclusion that the paltry sum of $70.00 per depositor, or approximately $2.00 per member of our racial group in America, reflects "the confidence of the colored people in their well-managed institutions." Your analysis of the situation makes it appear that Major --- --- Wright is rejoicing prematurely, for might not some meany come along and claim, with equal logic, that these figures reflect a lack of confidence in the aforesaid institutions? Instead of releasing grandiloquent statements regarding our astonishing progress, would not the Bankers' Association or some kindred organization find it more profitable to devote some time to an exhaustive research into the conditions underlying the failure of our people to support colored business enterprises? An intelligently-conducted campaign of education in these matters is one of the crying needs of our group. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 22, 1929 FRIDAY, APRIL 5, 1929 A. M. SERGEANT THE YOUNGER FOLKS' REALM C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Many years ago in Germany an orphan family lived very deep in the forests, because they were not able to live in the town. The family consisted of five girls and three boys. The elder was a girl named Erna, who supported the rest. Every day Erna had to go to the town to work in a factory. Erna worked ing the part where toys and clock cases were made. One morning when Erna was going to the town, she began thinking how she could get toys for her sisters and brothers. When she arrived at the factory and saw all of the pretty toys she thought of her little sisters and. brothers who could not have any of them. She then became sad and heartbroken. All day she helped to make beautiful toys and she imagined she saw her little brothers and sisters wake up and see no toys on Christmas morning. That evening when Erna went home all of her little brothers and sisters ran to meet her, saying, "Santa will be here soon, sister Erna." All night Erna thought of her dear sisters and brothers. Then finally morning came. Erna fixed their breakfast and lunch. She came home in time to cook dinner. On the road she met a very old woman, who said, "Erna, if you worry today as you worried yesterday, you'll become ill. Just think only of your work and you'll find that there'll be a great surprise for you Christmas morning." Days passed slowly with Erna trying not to worry. Then came Christmas eve. Erna put the children to bed. Then she sat down beside the fire and cried because her brothers and sisters were to have only a few sticks of candy each. The next morning the children woke up to find to their surprise a great big tree and a doll for each girl, a wagon for each boy, and a dress, shoes, hat and coat for all of the children, in addition to the candy. They were so excited and surprised that they never noticed Erna asleep by the fire. They made so very much noise that they awoke Erna, who thought she was dreaming when she saw all of the toys, clothes and candy and her sisters and brothers happy. All day the children were happy, but Erna was thinking. Thinking of who could have been so kind as to do so good a deed. That night when all the children had happily gone to bed, the same old woman appeared before Erna, who she had met on the road that day. She said, "Erna, I am your god-mother, and I saw how very hard you were working. I promised your mother that I would look after you all. So I'll see that you'll be happy from now on." And the old lady, who was a fairy, kept her word. April 9, 1865. He surrender. 1861, first shot fired on Fort Spring. April 14, 1865, President Lincoln was assassinated.

A letter comes to your editor, signed, "Music Lover," asking him to give a short sketch of Gounod. Here it is. Charles-Francois Gounod was a French dramatic and sacred composer, one of the most eminent musicians of his time. Born, Paris, June 17, 1818, where he died October 17, 1893. In his eighteenth year Gounod entered the Paris Conservatory, where in the course of a few years he won many honors, finishing in 1839 by capturing the much coveted Prix de Rome. Gounod's early operatic ventures were but moderately successful. His first great success came with "Faust" in 1859, an opera which the world over has perhaps been performed more times than any other ever composed. While this remains his masterpiece, his "Homo et Juliette" (1867) is preferred to "Faust" by the French people. Gounod's later years were devot- TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE THE GREAT SURPRISE By Carolyn Howell (12 APRIL IN HISTORY GOUNOD NEW HOME BUYERS! What Does Location Mean to You?

Give me bow and give arrows Give me pipe and some tobaccos; Let me rove through forests dense Let me play with God's own childrens, You may dig your gold and coal. While I treat you as my friend, Grant you freedom over here, You may roam or you may stay; But must not pollute my morals, Or the tse-tse flies will sting you, And anopheles will bite you— Then you'll have to dig your grave. Howard University. NEW H 100 lation is engaged in some kind of racket that will land them in jail sooner or later, and it is no pleasant thing for a whole community to be constantly threatened with imprisonment. It is contrary to the principles for which our forefathers bled and died—freedom. Did not Patrick Henry say, "Give me liberty or give me death"? And with the present state of conditions in Chicago the citizens are getting more of the latter than the former. Suppose the Federal officers should swoop down and put everybody in jail who belongs there for as long as they ought to stay. It can be readily seen how much money would be required annually to support the whole city of Chicago. And with jails being the pleasant places they are now it would not be long before other cities would clamor for the privilege of being placed behind the bars also. Should this precedent be established it would not be long before we would develop into a nation of jailbirds. Of course, to enforce this law against law enforcement would call for a new force of law officers. Already one-half of the country is trying to catch the other half and lock them up, so a change around would only be fair play. The Constitution of the United States is only as strong as its weakest drink, and to repeal the 18th Amendment would pave the way for the repeal of the 14th and 15th, which aren't used much anyway. This would be bad for us, Oscar, don't you think? Therefore, I suggest that no repeals be attempted, but a new amendment be added known as the Law for the Prohibition of Prohibition. The suggestion contained herein can be used or ignored, as you see fit, Oscar. Don't think for a moment that I am trying to run your office; not at all. I do feel, however, that the folks back home would appreciate you lots more if you slipped this amendment through, not that I have any feeling against prohibition, mind you. I take the optimistic view and content myself with the knowledge that prohibition is better than no liquor at all. Yours until they move the corner saloon out of the middle of the block. Baptist Pastors Hear Dr. J. Harvey Randolph Dr. J. Harvey Randolph, pastor of the Mt.

The wisdom of the Lott Carey Baptist Foreign Mission Convention was clearly seen in choosing a man of his business tact, caliber and record as corresponding secretary.

ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL Honorable Oscar DePriest, Representative-elect from the Third District of Illinois, care William (Big Bill) Thompson, Mayor's Office, Chicago, My Dear Oscar:— I have been working quite diligently on a series of new bills that will be presented to you when you come to take your seat in Congress next week. With no reflection on you, I think that you will welcome this help which I shall offer gratis because if you succumb to the peculiar disease that most law-makers suffer with the moment they are elected, your brain has stopped functioning by now. This statement is based on statistics compiled by the research department of the Congressional Record which declares that there is more dumbness to the square inch in the halls of Congress than in any like gathering of similar size and importance in the world. Congressmen, you perhaps know, are not supposed to do anything constructive as to do so would break the noble tradition that it has taken so many years to build up. A congressman's importance is based on his ability to say nothing in more words than his fellowmen, and the worst the words are the better. The first thing a Congressman must do upon his arrival is to start out to get himself re-elected. He does this by doing something that appeals to the folks back home. Tom Heflin and Cole Blease waste exactly three-fourths of the nation's time saying mean things about the Négro, and the folks back home think they are the biggest men in the country. Right there is the secret of congressional success. A man has to raise enough hell to make his constituents think that the country would go to the devil if they should fail to send him back. This appeal must be strictly local, Oscar (You don't mind me calling you that, do you?) It matters not how much a congressman rants about the tariff, the War debt, the world court or the League of Nations. It matters not how much he fights to increase or reduce the Navy, how he wars against entangling alliances or what he thinks about the Monroe Doctrine, the folks back home will think he is a dead head unless he does something that effects them immediately. With this knowledge in hand we proceed to give you a style of voter appeal. If all reports are true the most flourishing industry in Chicago is crime. Bootlegging, hijacking, banditry and shooting are part and parcel of the everyday life of this peaceful community. Here of late, Oscar, certain laws passed by the United States Government have interfered with the pursuance of this noble calling. What this country needs then is a law against law enforcement. We of the sovereign state of Illinois look to you, Oscar, to correct this nefarious evil. We need a Jones Law that would make it a penitentiary act if a Prohibition agent is caught transporting prisoners too or from a lockup. Every station house, precinct, and sheriff's office should be padlocked. Every man caught in a policeman's uniform should be shot on sight if he fails to stop when a bootleger says "Halt!" So far as Chicago is concerned, such a law is not only desirable, but imperative. It is a well known fact that the majority of the popu- Convenient to Stores The growth of communities is checked by natural boundaries. Rivers and bridges separate metropolitan from rural districts.
