Also Guilty of Extortion, Probe Letters, telegrams and affidavits showing large contributions to Republican campaign funds by Federal officeholders in the states of Texas, Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, and Tennessee were put into the record of the Senate Committee investigating southern patronage by Chairman Brookhart, Republican, of Iowa, last Friday. While the committee has no evidence, it is known that most of these contributions went into the coffers of the Republican national committee. The practice is for the committee to assess each state so much based on the number of Republican votes cast in the last election. The national committeeman is notified of the amount assessed against his state and is instructed to raise not less than that sum. He collects either directly or indirectly from Federal officeholders, whom he has recommended for the offices they hold.

In 1919, the Women's Bureau made its first study of her problems and we found deplorable conditions.

Prichard, newly elected Republican Congressman from the mountain section of North Carolina, who was assigned room 152 in the House Office building, which happened to be the room just east of Oscar DePriest, of the first district in Illinois, and a newly elected Republican, ordered his secretary to close his office and remove his name from the door, last week. He wired his secretary: He wired his secretary: "Office room 132 is unsatisfactory. Vacate immediately. Lock door and deliver key to superintendent of house office building. Remove tag name from the door. We will secure office when I arrive." The officers in the House building are allocated by filing on them and assigned by seniority. The filing privileges closes on March 4, at the beginning of each Congress. The superintendent's office reports that there is no other room to give Prichard.

The theory of accidental death was strongly doubted by relatives of the wife who were apprehensive of the jealous nature of her husband, who was more than twice her age. It is the belief that he deliberately turned on the gas after his wife had fallen asleep and died with her. The gas jet just over the bed was open. The theory that the couple had not become settled in the home was evidenced by the fact that they were both asleep in a single bed in the dining room the furniture having not been distributed throughout the house. The Murrays were married about two years ago. Before her marriage the wife was Miss Lillian Wright. She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Brown and Miss Dorothy Wright.

The facts are that the police went to Everett's home, made him get out of bed and carried him to the police station to question him regarding the associates of his brother James. Everett said that he saw very little of James and knew nothing of his associates. He was released that night and returned to school Monday following his Easter vacation. He was not held. Professor G. David Houston principal of the Armstrong High School, gave a word of praise for the splendid character of the unfortunate brother who was involved in the tragedy by reason of his relationship. Mr. Houston declared that young Armstrong was a good athlete and a good student and the school stood solidly behind him. Mr. Houston said in part: "He is too excellent a prospect of real manhood to be crushed by the act of his brother. He wants the community to know that in no way should his name be connected with the deed of his brother. He is determined to bring as much comfort to his mother as his brother has brought discomfort and grief. He hopes that neither students nor neighbors will greet him hesitatingly, for he has no more responsibility for his wayward brother's conduct than he has for their kinship. I promised him this word of explanation and confidence." UNDERWRITERS FORM (Continued from page 1) H. Fearing, Joseph F. Harris, Thomas C. R. Bragg, James A. Kibler, Fred W. Bond.

LILY-WHITE PROBLEM (Continued from page 1) from Maryland. Room 134, which is next to Prichard's, and the second door from DePriest, is Maas, of Minnesota. No complaint has been registered by any of these men. The New York World heads an editorial with "The Fly in the Ointment" on the Prichard affair and says: "The action of the Republican Congressman from North Carolina, George M. Prichard, in refusing to accept an office in the House Office Building because it is next door to the office of another Republican Congressman, the Chicago Negro Representative, DePriest may prove embarrassing in the reorganization of the Republican party in the south. "It is very well for the President to plan a reorganization to rid the party in that section of the type of leadership it has 'enjoyed' for sixty years, but it unfortunately happens that the Negro is the backbone of the party in the south. It seems that Mr. Prichard hails from the mountain section of the state and the prejudice against colored people is stronger with the Republican mountaineers of the south than among the whites who descend from the old slave owning aristocracy. This has always been carefully concealed in the north. In truth, the worst rioting against the Negroes in the days just after the war of the states, which was charged in the northern press to the wicked Democrats and old slave owners, was really the work of the poor whites and the mountainers, who were largely Republican. This old feeling persists. "To humor Mr. Prichard is to insult Mr. DePriest, whose district in Chicago is Republican because of the colored population. And of course it would be too much for Mr. Prichard to refuse to sit in a party caucus with Mr. DePriest. The 'reorganization' in the south may bring out a great amount of interesting things that have been to carefully concealed even by the historians. Miss Emily V. Coffey of New York City was the week-end guest of her sister Mrs. Estelle C. Carr of 1881 S street, northwest. CLEVELAND JOINS NATIONAL STAFF Announcement is made by R. H.

D'PRIEST TO TALK AT DEDICATION Cardozo Business High School To Be Dedicated One of the first opportunities for the citizens of Washington to see and hear Congressman Oscar DePriest, our new colored congressman from Chicago, Ill, will be at the dedication of the Cardozo Business High School, Thursday, April 18, at 8 o'clock p.m. Several weeks ago Congressman DePriest, who is interested in the development of a finely equipped business high school for colored youth in this city, accepted an invitation to be present at the dedication and to deliver an informal address. The Cardozo Business High School is located at present in the historic old M Street High School building on M street, between First street and New York avenue, northwest. As this business high school was organized last September at the behest of Washington's business men, the dedicatory exercises will be in their hands largely. A committee of prominent business men and women recently met with the principal and First Assistant Superintendent Wilkinson to discuss plans for the dedication. Among those invited were W. H. C. Brown, F. Morris Murray, C. W. Banton, Whitfield McKinlay, John R. Hawkins, West A. Hamilton, Charles B. Lee, William Stevenson, S. W. Rutherford, James H. Maxwell, Mesdames Gertrude B. Johnson, Mary I. Davis, Martha A. McAdoo, Haley Douglass, and Miss Jeannette Carter. In addition to the principal addresses to be delivered by Congressman DePriest and President W. H. C. Brown of the Industrial Savings Bank, it is planned to have several short talks by successful business men and women on opportunities for colored boys and girls in the business world of Washington. It is expected that Whitfield McKinlay will contribute many interesting reminiscences of the early life of Francis L. Cardozo, who at one time was treasurer of the State of South Carolina, and after whom the school has been named. The dedicatory exercises will begin promptly at 8 o'clock p.m. A very cordial invitation is extended to the public to be present.

EARNBIG$$ LEARN THE BEAUTY PROFESSION New Establishment Taken Over by Progressive Mortician The Bundy Funeral Parlors, formerly located at 649 Florida avenue, northwest, have moved to their own home at 621 Florida avenue, northwest. The house was purchased by Mr. Bundy some time ago and was remodeled to make a modern funeral home for this popular undertaker. The first two rooms were made into one large attractive parlor. There are two large Persian rugs on the floor, and three large ceiling lights with two floor lights and lights decorating the beautiful hand carved mantels. The former dining room is enclosed by French doors, which fold back to the wall when the service demands it. The former pantry has been made into an office, and the kitchen is made into the morgue. This completes the first floor. The main office will be in the basement. In the rear is a four-car garage with the show room above it. The living quarters occupy the second and third floors, which have been remodeled and beautifully decorated. All of this work was done by Lewis A. Johnson, architect, of Connecticut avenue, who ranks with the best in the city. The front of the building has been painted and the entrance remodeled and decorated as an entrance to a business establishment. Dr. Bundy says that since he has moved into his own place and remodeled it on modern lines that he has increased his business and service possibilities. He is prepared to serve the smallest a well as the largest funeral, with a modern, well lighted and well ventilated chapel which ranks among the foremost of the city.

CARDUI Helps Women to Health Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness Relief from Gas Stomach Pains Dizziness The doctors tell us that 90 percent of all sickness is due to stomach and bowel troubles. You can't be well if your digestion is bad; you are likely to get sick unless you relish food and digest it properly. Tanlac has a wonderful record as a relief from digestive troubles, even those of years' standing. Mr. A. F. Cassell, City 2018 Waverly Way, Villa Hts. City, Norfolk Va. says: "Since I took Tanlac there's no end to what I can eat—and no sign of indigestion, gas, headaches or any other trouble. Now my work is not wearing on me." If you suffer from gas, palms in the stomach or bowels, dizziness, nausea, constipation, or torpid liver; if you have no appetite, can't sleep and are nervous and all run down, you need Tanlac. It is good, pure medicine, made of roots, harbs and barks. Get a bottle from your druggist today. Money back if it doesn't help you.

Owing to the successive failure of crops, the backward state of hative agriculture, which the Bel- gian government does nothing to improve, and the lack of all com- munications, except those tenuous ones by which the rubber interests send down their product to the mouth of the Rivei, thousands of natives of Ruanda, Belgian Congo, are starving to death. Ban Food to Famine Area The British imperialists played their rote too, in the stupendous tragedy when the Uganda govern ment last December, forbade the expert of all foodstuffs to the neighboring famine area in the Congo.

Universal Life Energy will: im- prove humanity one hundred per cent, says Fersen, International President of The Lightbearers. ‘There is a Universal power called “Primal,” or Universal Life En- ergy, which has been lately discov- ered’ by modern science. That power is the source of all health, of all energy. Every human being is equipped by nature with the means to contact and use that Life Energy. The more an individual contacts it the stronger and health- ier he’ becomes thus constantly add- ing to his own initial ‘capital, of powers energy with which he has to win his life’s race. ‘The con- tact and use of Universal Life En- ergy docs not, require faith; it re- quires only knowledge. No one needs faith to turn on an electric light. No matter whether you be- lieve or doubt it, the light will come when you turn the switch; $0 it is with Universal Life Energy. ea The grand and subordinate chap- ters of the Order of the Eastern Star, will present a carnival of Flowers next Tuesday evening at Metropolitan A.M.E.

Lewis, of Boston; Perry E. Lewis, of Cleveland, and Judge James A: Cobb, of the Mu- nieipal Court of the Distriet of Co- lumbia.

C. Pyle's (Coiner-Cuddler Pyle) Bunion Derby fame finished here today the seventh lap of this year's edition of Pyle's trans-United States foot race in a dead heat with John Salo of Passaic, N.J., for second place. The race this year is the second trans-continental foot race fostered by the more or less successful promoting genius, C. C. Pyle. Because of the grumbling and dissatisfaction evidenced by the marathoners in the first race, the run of this year is carried on a different plane. Last year the management provided, following the start of the race, lodging and food, medical supervision, transportation of a limited amount of personal effects, the same quality of pure drinking water along the route, etc. There were no bonuses, guarantees or other financial assistance given any entrant by the management, which should be interpreted as fairness due to all entered. This year each contestant must assume his own upkeep. Granville Disliked Six colored boys were entered in the race last year. Four finished, one was struck by an automobile, therefore withdrawing from the race, another found the going too strenuous and sought easier undertakings. Philip Granville, of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, one of the greatest foot racers in the world present champion -walker of Canada and ex-champion of the United States, finished third, winning $5,000 for his efforts. Granville was born in the West Indies, later moving to Canada. He is a British subject. Philip is generally disliked and brazenly shunned because he views with antipathy the discrimination that is shown in this country, and his temper is put on edge when he cannot receive equal accommodations as the white athletes. He is plainly outspoken on the subject of segregation. One may argue pro and con about such matters, but it is a matter for serious thought to run 50 to 75 miles during the day and find at the end of the day's run no fit accommodations. Granville finished seventh in today's jaunt. Although the day was exceedingly warm, Granville was clad in a heavy wool cap and so heavy running tights. He was comparatively fresh at the finish. Philip is the tallest entrant and he does not boast of the figure of a Grecian God, but when it comes to running well, depend on him to make a creditable showing. Ed Gardner, who hails from Birmingham, Alabama, a graduate of Tukegee, but who now resides in Seattle, Washington, is easily the fleetest runner of the participants entered. He finished eighth in the asphalt annoyer last season and would have finished better had he not been so easily tempted in stepping out at the least good showing of another contestant. Out of the 84 laps, which the derby consisted of last year, he won 31, giving you an idea of his amazing speed. Yet if Gardner had husbanded his speed into consistency there is no doubt that he would have coped the first prize. Gardner is well liked by the other heel and toe artists, by the officials, by the spectators, who line the route, and in fact, he is the most popular and feared of them all. The most creditable run of Gardner's in last year's foot assassination, was the one from Ludlow to Needles, California, a 59-mile jump over the burning desert in the broiling sweltering sun, with water as scarce as hair on a Mexican poodle, and roads covered with sand a foot deep. He led the pack into the control station, far in the van of the others. There are many other "hops" in which he put up astonishing showings, but they are too numerous to mention in this space. "Sheik," as he is called by the other foot manipulators, was well up among the leaders in elapsed time when, during the lap from Gary to Mishawaka, Indiana, he suddenly was troubled with skin splints and had to confine his activities to nothing more than a Starting - Lighting - Ignition BATTERIES RECHARGED And Batteries 514 Fla. Ave., N.W. Decatur 5082 ```markdown ``` 'FORCE TO HAVE STRONG TRACK & DIAMOND TEAMS WILBERFORCE, O. (WPS)—With the advent of warm weather Coach I. S. Lane issued his call for aspirants to the 1929 diamond nine. Over fifty rookies and vets were at the first outdoor workout and from the early form shown a fast field and hard slugging aggregation will represent the Buckeye institution. Those who are showing promise of figuring prominently on the diamond this spring are: Jeffries, Waples, Harrison, Terry, Crenshaw and Terrell in the infield; Scott, Ward, Lewis, Johnson and Boyd are all showing well in the gardens and Rocky Redden, of gridiron fame, is doing the major portion of the receiving behind the bat. Coach Lane is working his charges overtime and without any letup in preparation for the opening of the competition in the newly formed C.A.W.W. League. This organization is composed of three white colleges Cedarville, Antioch, Wilmington, and Wilberforce. During the past years Wilberforce has met a large number of white opponents in the various sports but this is the first definite step toward organized competition which establishes a precedent for universities and colleges. Over on the cinder path each afternoon a score of more sprinters and distance men can be seen working out with all the zeal of a prospective Olympic Team member. A youngster from Cincinnati by the name of Baxter boasts of some fast time in the century, and also the 440 and after seeing him work out one tends to think that he will show his heels to many this spring. Other dash men are the mainstays of last year's team, Jackson and Robinson. Vance and Price are stepping the hurdles and are rounding into form. In the weights, Ashe, Griggs and Moore are the stalwarts. All in all Coach Harry Graves seems to be well pleased and some excellent performances at the Ohio State, Howard, Hampton, and Drake Relays are expected. H.U. DROPS GAME TO N.C. STATE DURHAM, N.C.—Staging a desperate rally in the 6th, 8th and 9th, Howard University's nine threw a man-sized scare into the camp of the N. C. College "Eagles" here on Friday, the 5th, and nearly overcame the lead their opponents had piled up in the earlier innings. The "Eagles" repeated their performance of Easter Monday by losing their "big berthas" early in the game, and laying down a barrage that overwhelmed the Washingtonians, and enabled the home team to stack up eight runs in the first five frames before their opponents found their batting eye. Grimes, Stroud, Thompson, Vinson, Caldwell, and Hawkins were contributors to the rout, as was Walker, who chalked up a lone tally in the seventh by his home-run. Howard scored two in the fifth, one in the eighth, and one in the ninth, by a single, one two-base hit and two three-baggers, the last contributions by Mosk and Marsh, piled up five more. Errors by the "Eagles" helped in the scoring. Moore, on the mound for the "Eagles" struck out nine men, but was yanked in the eighth, when he was relieved by Vinson. Taylor went the route for the Howard nine and struck out two. Score: Howard ..... 000 002 015—8 N. C. College ..... 140 210 100—9 Umpires: Townsend and Alston. "Y" PHYSICAL DEPT. HAS BUSY PROGRAM A very attractive and enthusiastic crowd saw the most thrilling girls' basketball contest ever seen on the Y.M.C.A. gymnasium floor; the local Y.W.C.A. girls dropping a cleanly played game to the Morgan College girls of Baltimore. The score was 16 to 9, the Baltimore girls forging ahead in the last moments of the game. The Business and Professional Men's Volley Ball team is developing into shape rapidly. Some very interesting and fast games have been played. This group meets at 12:15 p.m., on Tuesday and Friday. Government Department interest in the "Y" Physical Department is very active. Ten clerks from the Bureau of the Census completed their first week's work-out. Monday and Thursday evening, 5:15 to 6:30, will be given over to Government clerks. Mr. Greene, the physical director, hopes to develop governmental departmental athletics in all branches of sport. The "Y" track and baseball teams are hard at work. The cross country men are rounding into shape for the Baltimore Cross Country Run April 27. All interested in cross country running are urged to report to the "Y" for detailed information. By L.

APRIL 12. 1929 STORMKINGWINS BOWIE FEATURE STORMKINGWINS BOWIE FEATURE HOWARD DROPS 16-10 GAME TO VA. STATE PETERSBURG, Va.—Howard University showed potential strength in its opening game against State College as indicated by the score of 10-0, in the first five innings. This was as far as the team was able to go as the result of one week's practice. During the rest of the game they showed complete collapse, losing to the home team, 16-10. Eight of State's runs were due to Howard's errors. Horse of Local Sportsman Is Winner at Maryland BOWIE RACE TRACK—Storm King, owned by William Wells, familiarly known as "Long Shot Reds," local sportsman, and George Brenton, won the second race here Monday, paying $11.35, $6.30, $3.50. Hull and Robinson pitched for Howard, Hull being removed with a sore arm in the sixth inning. Robinson, the strong and steady freshman, was able to check State's batting rally when once they got started. His trainer, George Brenton, of Manassas, Va., had Storm King looking very good in the paddock before the race and he was well backed before going to the post. The horse did everything that Red and Brenton said he could do, and came home an easy winner over a field of ten good horses, beating such good ones as Carefree, Corinth and Kentucky Colonel. A very serious accident occurred in the race. Sun Seeker, ridden by Jockey Aaron, got cut down and had to be shot after the race. The winner, Storm King, was cut on the hoof by another horse. The jam occurred right after the horses got off. Jockey Robinson rode Storm King and used good judgment in the race. The horse Hove set the pace and led to the stretch, when at this point Jockey Robinson under fine instruction made his move on Storm King and from there on the horse ran away with the race. Lack of practice at Howard was due to the long basketball season, which consumed the entire time of Coach Burr aside from his teaching duties until April 2. It is expected that the team will round into shape after a few workouts in the early schedule. ARMSTRONG TEAM WINS The Armstrong cross-country team, composed of R. Miller, W. Cooper, J. Johnson, B. Belfield, L. Woodward, Edgar Lee, C. Fields and coached by Mr. L. A. Lee, won the Richmond meet staged by Union University on Saturday, April 6. The team received an enthusiastic welcome at the musical assembly on Monday, when the silver trophy was presented by Edgar Lee. chance of their lives, and quite a chance of their life time, and a few laughed at him when he said two months ago that Storm King would make good. walk. In the meantime he fell from fourth to tenth place in elapsed time, and was only able to regain the eighth place by the time they reached New York. Being too overjoyed after the race, Wells got too close to Storm King at the barn where Brenton was cooling him out, and got kicked in the side, but not seriously hurt. The gash on the leg is being treated and the horse will rest a week or so, then will run perhaps at Havre de Grace, Md. It looks like Reds and Brenton have a good meal ticket in Storm King. Came To Howard After finishing in New York on May 26, last year, Gardner journeyed to Howard University to show off his "wares" at the track meet going on at Howard during the following week. Returning to New York to receive his prize money of $1,000, he went home, later going to Kansas City, Mo., for the winter. Y'S TO MEET ARROW'S BASKETEERS As soon as the call went out for runners to enter this year's track, the mighty "Sheik" Gardner responded by immediately pulling up stake and reporting at Rockaway Park, a seashore resort on Long Island, within the city limits of New York City. The "Y" basketball team will meet the Arrow Juniors, Friday, in their last game of the season.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Va., April 1.—Howard University staged a comeback from its defeat by Virginia State to win in a 12-inning battle from St. Paul pith a score of 13-12. While the team showed improvement over its performance against State, errors were still numerous and only its fighting determination enabled them to take the victory. NOTICE TO TRIBUNE LEAGUE MANAGERS IMPORTANT MEETING All former managers of baseball teams comprising the Tribune League, classes A and B, are requested to meet at 7:30 o'clock next Wednesday evening. April at the Tribune office, 920 U street, northwest. In both games Coach Burr has been testing out new material, several of the freshman showing splendid form in other positions. It was also necessary to shift players both in the field and in the batting order in an effort to determine in which position they were strongest. It is important that all managers of teams who wish to join the Tribune Laague this season be present in order that a schedule may be arranged for the coming season. SPARTANS DOWN TECH 2nd TIME SPARTANS TROUNCE PLAYGROUND CAGERS The Spartan nine displayed early season form by downing the Techites, Monday, defeating the Tech nine for the second time in two weeks. The first game was a shutout, 4-0, in which N. Johnson (Salty), mound ace, and F. Browne, stellar infielder, starred. The Spartans in the preliminary to the Elk-Seminary game, Friday, 5th, trounced the Southwest Playground champions in a hair raising extra period game. The Grecian basketers in the last minutes of play racked two swift baskets, winning the game by a count of 30-26. Monday's game produced thrills when the Greek lads overcame a two-run lead in the last inning to win, 5-4. N. C. College Eagles Trounce Titleholders DANDRIDGE ASSAULTED OUTSIDE OF CAFE Wreaking vengeance sweet upon their last year rivals the North Carolina College Eagles handed a trimming to the fast Virginia State nine of Petersburg, Easter Monday in a great game replete with thrills which ended with a 9-8 score. Runners-up in the race for the title in the Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association the Eagles were nosed out by the Virginia boys, and 'twas with visions of sweet revenge that they looked forward to the chance to retaliate. Monday. Accoring to a statement made by waltresses at the Industrial Restaurant on Eleventh, near Ural street, Putney Dandridge, versatile star at the Howard Theatre, who was assaulted last week by Charles Ray, another star, was not attacked in the Industrial Cafe, but after the pair had stepped outside. Ray in his assault is said to have used a piece of pipe that was being used in some street repair work that is being done in front of the cafe. Vinson, veteran pitcher for the Eagles, carried the fight into the enemy's camp, winning his own game by striking out eight, and lambasting the horseride for two triples and a home run. Cub Reporter: "At last I have written something for the paper which has been accepted." Friend: "Wilt's it?" In a vain but valiant attempt to rally, Coach Martin's charges scored two in the 7th, and two more in the 8th. But that was not enough. So the game ended, 9-9, and another good diamond fight goes into the records of colored intercollegiate baseball. C. R. "A check for a year's subscription."

Miss Violet Warfield is hockey coach, while Mrs. Mary Reeves-Allen is instructor in archery. The picture deals in no uncertain way with a social problem that has the social and medical world gasping.

By F. Brown By F. Browne The production is being screened AFTER THE SHOW— AN EVENING OF PLEASURE; AN ATMOSPHERE OF THE ORIENT CHINESE AND AMERICAN GRIDIROM TRACK in The Olympic as a road show special, and because of the story the management of the theatre deemed it necessary to admit adults only to the performances. Stephen Fechit, the colored actor whose first screen characterization, that in "Hearts in Dixie" has been highly praised, is the newest addition to the colony's collection of characters. With an eye to dramatic values, but at the same time blind to the shocking revelations, the producers of "Unwelcome Children" spared no situations to get their story over. In dealing with the subject of "Unwelcome Children" it was found that no happy medium could be struck and that only the stark naked truth could be told. With the necessity of proper portrayal the producers obtained one of the greatest screen character actors in the person of Conrad Velt. He got his name through his own laziness. He and another man had a singing and dancing act in vaudeville which was called "Step and Fechit." The partner drifted off elsewhere, and the comedian couldn't be bothered by thinking up a new one for the act, so he stuck to the old one, calling it "Stepin Fechit." Here and There with MAURICE DANCER "BLACKBIRDS" INSURED After years on the legitimate stage, both in musical comedies and in vaudeville, Cora Green is now a headliner, topping the bill last week at Fox's Crotona Theatre, with such names as Bobby Uke Henshaw and Noree and Company. Lew Leslie, producer of "Blackbirds," which is nearing a full year's run at the Eltinge Theatre, New York City, last week insured his company for $250,000 through George Coxey, theatrical insurance man. The policy is a blanket one covering all illnesses and injuries to the cast and chorus. Most heavily insured, however, are Adelaide Hall, Bill Robinson, Alda Ward, Tim Moore, and Johnny Hudgins. Miss Green opened this week at Fox's Audubon for the entire week, which is a three-day house and will play the Academy next week. Then she is to try Kiech-Orphem, opening at the Eighty-first Street Theatre, and then into the Palace. ETHEL WATERS RESUMES VAUDE TOUR After finishing her work with Warner Brothers' "On With the Show," Miss Ethel Waters and her accompanists resumed their vaudeville tour over the Keith-Orpheum circuit, headlining at the Palace Theatre, Chicago, last week, where she was the usual hit. Miss Waters has added "I'm Blue," by Harry Askey, to her repertoire, which she did for Warner's talking musical. It will help greatly towards publicity for her picture. Reports are that Miss Waters will return to the coast to finish her film work as soon as she plays her eastern engagements.

Just two weeks ago a great musical comedy named "THE JAZZ REGIMENT" opened in Washington at a theatre catering to white audiences.

I KNOW THAT YOU WILL SHOW YOUR LOYALTY AND APPRECIATION BY COMING. the thousands of colored citizens in Washington could only purchase gallery tickets--so you did not go.

Elizabeth Pickett's story "Redskin" has been made into a thrilling moving picture and will show at the Howard Theatre starting April 18, for four days.

"Sinners in Love" From True Story Magazine, At the Republic "Sinners In Love," the sensational Bernarr Macfadden True Story picture, taken from the True Story Magazine, will be the feature screen attraction at the Republic Theatre for three days only—Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, April 13, 14, and 15. Olive Borden and Huntly Gordon head the cast of this great drama of a girl who dared. "Sinners In Love" is an original story by an anonymous writer, and was awarded first prize in a contest by True Story magazine. It presents a true account of its author's life and has been delicately produced with every touch of humanness and realism. On Saturday, April 13, only, episode two of the gripping mystery serial of a thousand thrills, "The Fatal Warning," will be shown. Germany's official World War picture, "Behind the German Lines", will be shown on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 16, 17, 18 and 19. It is synchronized with a tremendous musical score. Already the American film audience has been given striking ideas of the war in "Wings" and "The Big Parade", but never before has it had the opportunity to witness actual pictures of the war taken from "behind the German lines." What went on behind the German lines? What were the secrets of the German Imperial Staff? Realism such as no other war film has shown is ascribed to the fact that scores of German army photographers who contributed scenes for "Behind the German Lines" often at the sacrifice of their lives, ventured into the very inferno of No Man's Land. By virtue of synchronization the realism is further emphasized. School children and students of history will find "Behind the German Lines" of more than ordinary interest. "MOTHER KNOWS BEST" AT THE BROADWAY Sunday and Monday, the feature offering at the Broadway will be that perfect picture, "Mother Knows Best," with Madge Bellamy, Louise Dresser and Barry Norton in the leading roles. For Tuesday only, Bob Steele will be seen in a thriller of the earth, sea and sky, called "Captain Careless." Wednesday and Thursday, we will show a picture from the master mind, D. W. Griffith's "One Exciting Night," with Carol Dempster and Henry Hull. It is a great mystery drama with wonderful storm scenes—in fact the picture is so good that it is to be taken off the market and later reintroduced with sound effects. Friday and Saturday, the popular double feature bills, with Victor McLaglen, the star of "What Price Glory," in a smashing hit, "The River Pirate," and Lois Wilson in a smart story of modern youth, "Sally's Shoulders," will be shown. Beginning Monday, the Broadway will open every week day at 11 a.m., and run continuous until 11 p.m. The admission prices will be 10 cents from 11 to 5, and 15 cents from 5 to 7, and 20 cents after 7.

This mammoth production entered Washington two weeks ago, but A. E. Lichtman and the supervisor of his theatres, Rufus G. Byars, refused to permit "The Jazz Regiment" to leave the city before the thousands of colored residents here had seen it. To make this possible, A. E. Lichtman has personally leased the President Theatre and immediately made it clear that the same policy would prevail at the President as at the other Lichtman theatres. Stages Too Small In an interview yesterday, Mr. Lichtman said: "The entire orchestra, the boxes, in short, every seat in the house, will go to the army of colored citizens who have supported me throughout the three years of my theatrical career in this city. "Unfortunately the stages of thetheatre here are all to small to hold such a tremendous show as 'The Jazz Regiment.' That is why I have rented the President Theatre. It has a great stage and is among the finest of Washington's palaces of entertainment." Rufus G. Byars added the forceful statement that the loyal support which has been given to the Lichtman thetheatre since their opening demanded that the public here be served, and, regardless of the enormous rental expense, "The Jazz Regiment" will play at the President Theatre for the very people who have stood shoulder to shoulder with the Lichtman enterprises. Opens Sunday "The Jazz Regiment" will open with a gala evening performance on Sunday night, April 14, at 8:30, and will continue for the entire week with evening performances daily, matinees on Thursday and Saturday, and an extra midnight ramble on Wednesday. For the convenience of theatre-goers, Mr. Lightman and Mr. Byrats have already placed tickets on sale at the box office of the Howard Theatre. Reservations can also be made by phoning the box office of the President Theatre, Metropolitan 3926. "The Jazz Regiment" is a tremendously funny and interesting entertainment which deals with life in the United States Marine Corps. Included in the great cast of players are such notables as Gertrude Saunders, Chappelle and Stinnette, John Mason, "Dusty" Fletcher, Andrew Tribble, Columbus Jackson, Sammy Paige, Campbell and Farrow, Al Young, Harold Brown, William Edmonson, Pearl McCormack, Bertha Roe, Charles McLain, Janette White, and the two famous quartettes who have been sensations with their new musical material, the Suwanee Four and the Birmingham Four.

Reports of their brutal attacks on colored prisoners are becoming entirely too numerous.

If this confidence is now lacking, certainly brutality will not help restore it. Dear Sir: The best proof in the world that something is radically wrong with the teaching methods in our local public schools will be found in the results of the reading and arithmetic tests recently conducted in the primary grades. Without exception, the colored schools were found to be far below the standard average in these respects. The same condition will probably be disclosed when tests are made in other subjects. Instead of attempting to remedy the deficiencies, the various assistant superintendents, supervising principals, and directresses hastened to disclaim responsibility for the deplorable condition by passing the buck to the principals and teachers. Although the latter had no part in prescribing the present hodge-podge course of primary study or the fantastic teaching methods now in vogue, they were solemnly warned by their superiors that they would be held strictly accountable for the showing of their respective schools. With teachers and principals daily complaining through your columns of overwork, too much supervision, contradictory orders, tale bearing, constant nagging, and petty browbeating, while the pupils are acquiring a smattering of everything under the sun and not much of anything, one sometimes wonders if the Board of Education has ceased to function. Yours very truly, H. O. VALENTINE. "FUMIGATING THE REPUBLI CAN PARTY" By Frank R. Crosswaith The political storm clouds which began to gather shortly after the late Warren G. Harding was elected to the presidency of the United States in 1920, have at last broken, and in the consequent deluge the Negro finds himself literally a cast-away drifting in the treacherous sea of Republican Lily-whiteism. In the intervening years since Harding there were many wellmeaning, sincere Negroes in the Republican party who would not discern the inevitable drift of their party southward toward the shoals of race prejudice. With remarkable courage and admirable loyalty to the political faith of their fathers, these men and women staunchly stood by the old ship as she rose and fell in the stormy seas of expediency pitless lashed on either side by the resistless winds of economic determinism. From them it must have been a moment pregnant with fear and trembling as they read the news emanating from the White House last Tuesday. On that day, President Hoover, the titular head of the Republican party, in an interview with newspapermen, made his final bid for the political affections of Dixie by practically reading out of his party the Negro upon whose bed of sorrows and slavery that same party was born and nurtured over three score years ago. "The Republican party is the ship and all else the sea," once thundered the immortal Frederick Douglass. Today that ship, with captain Hoover at the helm grimly rides the stormy seas of economic and social change. At her masthead, she proudly flaunts a pennant upon which is inscribed in letters bold and bright, "For White Only." On her water-soaked deck Quaker and Cracker embrace. If Douglass, Lincoln and the other great souls of yesteryear who helped to fashion the Republican party into a weapon with which to cut the Gordon knot of slavery Liberal Progressive Independent FORUM Editor of the Tribune Washington, D.C. EDITORIAL The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BURENNE PUBLISHING COMPANY but come back to life they would face a spectacle too tragic here with pen to describe. Surely, history offers few ironies to equal the present-day attitude of the Republican party toward the Negro. Within recent years if there was any one outstanding point which distinguished the Republican from the Democratic party it was the more cleverly veiled and slightly less hostile attitude which the G. O. P. showed toward the political prerogatives of the Negro. Now, even that alleged difference has been leveled and both parties will henceforth vie with each for pohenceforth vie with each other for political preference in the south place." But will he? Truly, white America does not know the Negro. The popular conception of the Negro is an American of African descent whose forebears 300 years ago were kidnapped on the shores of Africa and brought into the Western world as slaves, and who, through the changing centuries has remained just a slave with a child's mind. If you ask the average American about the Negro today, you will hear a tale which takes you back to plantation days. White America generally does not know that the Negro today is overhauling his whole philosophy of life: that he is demanding a new kind of religion, one which places the emphasis upon life instead of upon death—forecasting thereby, his inevitable demand for a new economic and social order that the type of Negro immortalized by Harriet Beecher Stowe in Uncle Tom's Cabin, is surely passing from the stage of action, and that a new Negro is gradually forging to the front to take his place in the arena of men upon the broad base of equality with other men. The present "Fumigation Program" of President Hoover and his party may yet make plain that fact. Now is the time to seriously consider Professor Kelly Miller's proposed Sanhedrin. ONE NEGRO AND FIVE WOMEN IN CONGRESS The present administration will open the extra session of Congress, Monday, April 15, with a paper majority of 104 in the House and 16 in the Senate. This is the largest Republican majority since the Harding administration, when there was a majority of 167 in the House. The new House should enroll 268 Republicans, 163 Democrats, and 1 Farm-Laborite. There will be no Socialists in the new Congress as Victor Berger, of Wisconsin, failed in the election last fall. When the new House opens there will be 71 "first timers" to face the Speaker to be sworn in. In the Senate there will be 56 Republicans, 39 Democrats, and 1 Farm-Laborite. Senator Reid, of Missouri will be among those absent as he declined to run in the primaries, while the President's bee was buzzing in his bonnet. Other Senators who failed to return are Bayard, of Delaware; Bruce, of Maryland; Copeland, of New York; Edwards, of New Jersey; Gerry, of Rhode Island; K. K. K. Mayfield, of Texas; and Walsh, of Massachusetts. Two of the most conspicuous absentees in the House will be Finis J. Garrett, of Tennessee, minority leader, and Thomas Blanton, of Texas. The features of the the 71st Congress will be the first Negro member in 25 years and 5 women, 3 of whom are named Ruth. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. APRIL 12. 1929 ADIPLOMAT IN THE CAPITAL From the distant shores of Sunny France comes a postal card from Neval Thomas, who you recall used to teach something or other in the local schools and say awful things about the dominant race in his speeches for the N.A.A.C.P. The N.A.A.C.P., by the way, stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, but we are anxiously awaiting a reply from Mr. James Weldon Johnson for his action on our suggestion that it be changed to the N.A.E.C.P.—The National Association for the Exploitation of Colored People, as it is doing little more than that. If that is wrong, I refer you to none other than Neval himself, who is now basking neath baimy skies not so far distant from the poppy covered graves of the dead of many nations who gave their lives for a great cause—which is still a mystery. Neval's postal card brings fond reminiscences of those hectic days of eleven years ago. How well I recall the day I domned my first steel helmet and started over the top. At that time I had no conception of the seriousness of it all. Fear of death is a peacetime emotion that vanishes with the belching of guns, the rat-a-tat-tat of machine guns, the destructive flash of the hand grenade. For fear you think me boastful of my bravery, I hasten to explain. The canons, the machine guns, the trenches were all but the figure of a childish imagination. Fortunately or unfortunately for my readers I was in no danger during the war. No Man's Land to me was a spacious playground in close proximity of a little red schoolhouse. My helmet was the family wash basin, for which I got a sound licking for putting holes in the bottom so I could strap it under my chin. My jaunty Sam Brown belt was made from a pair of my dad's discarded, or appropriated suspenders. For ammunition we used snowballs, non-explosive, but none the less deadly if permitted to soak in water until they became hard. War to me was a very serious proposition. Candy was at a premium and the conservation of jams and sugar played a large part in my failure to vote for Mr. Hoover in the recent election, because early in life I swore vengeance against him for making me Hooverize. He was elected in spite of my antipathy, and this confession of disapproval on my part may lay me bare to deportation as too dangerous an alien to live so close to the White House. Nothing could be sweeter. Long have I wanted to travel in Europe, but unlike Neval I could never accumulate the cash. Now, if some kind reader will carry this article to the President and persuade him to put the Mayflower, which I understand he has no further use for, or a man-of-war, at my disposal and enough money to insure me tranquility, and peace, I will condescend to take a tour around the world for the next four years and relieve him of the annoyance of having to be a neighbor of one who did not vote for him. France is a likeable country, but the fates are seemingly against her. No sooner does she recover from the devastating effects of the World War than she is invaded by Josephine Baker. And now comes our own Neval Thomas. The sovereignty of that republic is safe, however, if they can just keep him from making a speech in behalf of the N.A.A.C.P. Yours until Wall street decides to have another world's war, TRIBUNE EDITOR TO ADDRESS ELKS Ralph Matthews, news editor of the Washington Tribune, will be the principal speaker at the social session of Columbia Lodge, No. 85, Elks, next Sunday afternoon, at Elks Home, 301 Rhode Island avenue, northeast. Mr. Matthews will speak on "The Newspaper the Great Fraternalist." An interesting musical program will be rendered under the direction of F. Preston Williams, master of ceremonies, who will preside. Officers of the social session include Alexander Jackson, master of ceremonies; Martin R. Powell, committee on speakers; Harry Parker, chairman of advisory board; and C. Arthur Cornish, secretary. Life-S Life-Saving In Ea DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN Life-Saving Work Begins In Early Days of Childhood IF 96,000 persons were rushing over the falls of Niagara to their death each year, something would be done about it. Laws would be passed. Signs would be posted along the bank reading, "No swimming—no boating," so that no bather, however hardy, would take a chance. Even in the calm pool way above the rapids, swimming would be forbidden to children who might go beyond their depth, get caught in an undercurrent and be swept to their doom. Of course, 96,000 persons do not go over the falls of Niagara each year. But that number do go to their death from tuberculosis—a disease, just as certainly preventable as is drowning in dangerous waters. And something is being done about it—but not enough. Laws have been passed providing life saving stations such as health departments, clinics and sanatoria. The enforcement of legal regulations has improved sanitary conditions and decreased the hazard to life. Thousands of public health nurses co-operate with ```markdown ``` Washington Tribune Ralph Matthews HOWARD TO SPEAK IN BALTIMORE BALTIMORE, Md. — Perry W. Howard, Grand Legal Advisor of the I.B.P.O.E., and former assistant Attorney General of the United States, will be in the city Friday to represent the Grand Lodge in the state-wide oratorical contest which will be held at Sharp Street M.E. Church. The winners of the state contest will compete in the regional contest at Philadelphia on May 24. The last week in August the national contest will be held at Atlantic City, where the Elks will give $10,000 in cash and award to further education. physicians to guard venturesome and indifferent people from coming too close to the whirling waters of disease. But this is not enough. Signs have been posted all along the bank proclaiming the early danger signals of tuberculosis: "Too easily tired," "Cough that hangs on," "Loss of weight," "Indigestion." People approaching the dangerous district are warned by tuberculosis associations and other agencies throughout the country to beware—before it is too late. But this, too, is not enough. There is little hope for those in the last stages—they are going out the falls. Those in the rapids of early tuberculosis have a chance, if they can be discovered and helped to the shore, there to rest in the fresh air and sunshine while being strengthened by nourishing food. Yet it is hard work to pick them out of the stream. Some refuse to recognize their danger. They enjoy the pace that kills. For the children in the calm pool, however, life-saving measures are effective. Better still is it to keep them WILSON BRANDS BRUSEAUX AS MONEY MAD War Between Grand Exalted Ruler and Chicago Detective Rages On The war between Sheridan A. Bruseaux and J. Finley Wilson continued to rage this week. Bruseaux and J. Finley Wilson continued to rage this week. Declaring that Sheridan Bruseaux, head of the Keystone Detective Agency of Chicago, is "money-mad and investigation crazy," J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent, Protective Order of Elks of the World, branded the investigation which the Chicago detective says he has just made of the I.B.P.O.E. of W., as spite work impelled by a near attempt at blackmail on the part of Bruseaux. Mr. Wilson ridiculed the entire report as sent out by the agency. Wanted $5,000 According to the grand exalted ruler, a white man, named Williams, hired Brusseaux to make an investigation of the Gary, Ind. trouble caused by the segregation of colored school children in the schools. After he had made the investigation in Gary, says Wilson, the Chicago sleuth wanted the grand lodge to give him $5,000. Wilson says he did not hire him, and refused to pay one cent. That appears to be the beginning of Brusseaux's animosity, believes the man who has held the head of Elkdom for six years. To Rescue Order His investigation of the affairs of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elkos of the World was made for the ultimate purpose of rescuing the order from Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, Brusseaux declared Monday in reply to questions of newspaper-men. He was selected to make the investigation, he revealed, because it was believed that he could better than anyone else uncover and expose the exploitation of the order and its resources by the grand exalted ruler for the sole object of perpetuating himself in office. Raps Marshall Appointment Incidentally Mr. Brusieux directed attention to the recent appointment by the grand exalted ruler of Charles A. Marshall, a chiropractor, of Washington, D.C., as a grand auditor to succeed Floyd C. Payne, who has been expelled from Morning Star Lodge. Mr. Marshall is some kind of personal employee of Mr. Wilson. The men who caused the investigation to be made are members of the order in good standing, responsible citizens in the communities in which they live and have the courage to oppose Mr. Wilson, said Mr. Bruseaux, but they do not wish to be the victims of his despotic power. WARNING - 96,000 GO OVER HERE YEARLY The pool may be called "Childhood Tuberculosis." In a sense this is "a misnomer, for it is not quite yet tuberculosis—rather the condition which precedes the disease. The glands of the lung are affected, and only slight, if any, damage has been done. The lung. This condition, discovered with the aid of the X-ray and other tests, tells the expert when a child is marked for later lung disease. But not if he is dragged out of the pool before he floats toward the rapids. During the month of April emphasis in the fight against tuberculosis will be laid on saving the children 1- the pool, by means of a campaign for early diagnosis which will be in progress throughout the country. While lives can be saved all along the stream, work at the pool with children is most prolific of results. Preventive measures then are effective; the waters are calm and not too deep; the child can be taught to keep away from the danger. "Early Discovery—Early Recovery." Roscoe C. Brown Attending Medical Meeting At Tuskegee TUSKEEGE INSTITUTE, Ala. A six-day program of intensive study of medical and surgical problems has been arranged for physicians and surgeons who are attending the 18th annual clinic at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital here during this week. The program provides for a series of medical and surgical, clinics scientific sessions and open meetings. Dr. Russell H. Oppenheimer 'dean of the School of Medicine, Emory University, Atlanta, addressed the public meeting, Tuesday evening on "Cancer and Public Health Problems Affecting the Negro." Others speaking at this meeting included Dr. Roscoe C. Giles, of Chicago, president of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society; Dr. C. V. Roman, of Meharry Medical College, Nashville; Dr. Eugene H. Dibble, Jr., secretary-treasurer of the clinical society and medical director of Tuskegee Institute; and Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the United States Public Health Service. ROLAND HAYES TO SING AT BELASCO Roland Hayes, internationally famed tenor, will appear in a recital here at the Belasco Theatre on the afternoon of May 3, for the benefit of J. Gerald Tyler, of Oberlin, Ohio, former director of music here in divisions 10-13 of the public schools. A committee headed by Mrs. Milton A. Francis is sponsoring this benefit recital. Mr. Tyler, after leaving here to become the director of music in the St. Louis, Mo., public schools, was paralyzed and lost the use of his limbs. He has taught music in Oberlin for the last ten years, under this handicap until two months ago when his property was completely destroyed by fire. Mr. Hayes has arranged to give a series of recitals in several of the larger cities for his benefit. Factory Inspector Fans Race Prejudice CHICAGO (CNS)—In a lurid, highly sensationalized jared, Joseph A. Wise, a factory inspector appointed by the late Governor Len Small of Illinois, deliberately strews the dynamite for another race riot. Speaking of an interracial dance held by the Communist party in which colored and white partners of opposite sexes were seen dancing together, and enjoying it, the factory inspector declared, "If the Reds can carry their plans to a logical conclusion they will kill off a majority of the white men in a world revolution and appropriate the white women to breed a mongrel race." FEATURES THE YOUNGER FOLKS' REALM TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 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. ONCE A POOR FARM BOY NOW A SINGER BE FORE THE WORLD Net so very many years ago, Roland Hayes was doing the chores on the small Georgia farm of his mother, an ex-slave. He managed to put himself thru school and college while helping to support his family. Encouraged by friends to develop his voice, he struggled for years to train it and to gain recognition, meanwhile taking every sort of job to make ends meet. He scraped together enough money to go abroad and give a recital in London. With this step his fame was definitely made. He became the talk of London, and then of Paris, Vienna, and Berlin. Each capital marvelled at this young singer, so modest and quiet-mannered, yet so utterly master of his voice, of their own language and style in song. At that time only certain American cities had heard him. When he re-crossed the Atlantic, he soon held the attention of America at large to a degree never before won by an American-born musician. Roland Hayes is a Negro. What he has done others can do. Do not give up hope because you are a Negro. If you can do a thing better than any one else—the world will honor you, if you have the courage and determination to forge ahead.

It does not show respect and loyalty to your race to sigh and feel blue because you are Negroes. It's a pleasure to the artist to draw our pictures because they do not have to use one color always as with the other race. From this I hope you will learn that if God meant for the Negro to be ill-treated and hated he would not have made him. From now on do not peeve and fuss about being a Negro. From now on on read our pledge more and more and try to get a better conception of them. In addition to the academy, or high-school course, it gives courses in twelve different trades, agriculture, business, home economics, library science, building construction, teacher training, and the summer school. This is a very fine school at which to learn the trades. Hampton sticks to General Armstrong's policy "Educate the whole man is the idea; fit the pupil for the life he is likely to lead." Its academic course and trade courses are really worthwhile to the proper training of the child. New Boys Department To Open at Y. M. C. A. The Twelfth Street Branch Y. M. C. A. will open the renovated boys' department. Friday, April 12, at 6 o'clock. All parents and friends of boys are invited to be present. The changes made in the department give the boys over three thousand feet of floor space for heir games and meetings. There will be three pocket billiard tables and a ping pong table in addition to numerous other games such as chess, checkers, parcheesi, etc. The boys have arranged a program for the opening on Friday night to entertain their many friends, who are expected to come to see the department which is second to no boys' department in the country. One of the prettiest places among juveniles was on March 27 by Mr. and Mrs. Tinner, of 2215 Second northwest, in honor of the sixth birthday of their daughter, Mee. The parlor and dinin were beautifully decorate in spring tones of yellow and g can. The favors, cake and mints, took on these tones also. Twenty-five little guests enjoyed the spirited and delicious refreshments. Among those present were Jeane Mallette, Doris Jones, Crystal Malone, Susie Brooks, Helen Homes, Phyllis Reed, Grace Francis Dent, Ethel Skinker, Annie May and Gloria Miller, Pauline and Constance Murray, Rosalie Reid, Betty Francis, Roselyn McBrear, Cora Lee, Leatrice Branch, Meadries Virgil, Stanley Malone, jr., Menta Francis, George and Lloyd Reed, and Richard and Billy Tompkins.
