According to testimony of several witnesses Morris, who boarded an excursion train about midnight, Saturday night, began to show signs of having imbibed too freely as the train got under way. He became generally unruly and a great annoyance to the other passengers by his swearing and use of profane language. He reached his peak, however, when he threatened to kill a passenger who occupied his seat while he was parading the train aisles. Upon his arrival here he was placed under arrest and sentenced to six months in jail and fined $10 for carrying concealed weapons. NO RACE MEN AMONG NEW ASSISTANTS TO ATTY.

Luther Lewis married Katie Lewis on June 1, 1906. They separated shortly afterwards. Lewis worked for the Chestnut Farms Dairy, which took out group insurance on the lives of its employees. The life of Lewis was insured for $1,000. The benefits were made payable to his sister, who also bore the name of Lewis. Married Second Wife Lewis began keeping company with Mrs. Frances Proctor in 1925. They went to Baltimore and got married. Although he had given his insurance policy to his sister, he made an affidavit that it was lost and changed the beneficiary to his second wife, Mrs. Frances Proctor Lewis. He and his bride lived together at No. 2420 N street, northwest, until his death, March 28th. Two Policies Out After his death his sister discovered that a second insurance policy had been issued. She filed suit in the Municipal Court against the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. It is pending.

The New York Journal of Monday made the story the front page first column story, and read as follows: "Henry Clarke, fourteen, of No. 249 West One Hundred and twenty-second street, a Negro, had ambitions and they were well on their way to be realized, but today he is dead. "He wanted to be like Paul Robeson, both an athlete and an actor. He had been an actor, had appeared with Jack Dempsey as "Snowball" in his stage play "The Big Fight."

Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi and suspended special assistant to the Attorney General, will be put on trial a second time after two continuances of the case on a charge of bartering Federal patronage. Both the Government and the defense are moving toward Meridian, Miss., where the case is calendared for trial in the United States district court on Monday. Miller E. McGilchrist, a special assistant to the Attorney General, who has been assigned to assist in the prosecution of the case by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrant, assistant attorney general, who procured the indictment of Howard, is leaving at the end of the week. Two Tellers Suspended The Government has also suspended tellers from two local banks, who are due to be in Meridian, Monday morning. They are expected to testify concerning Howard's bank accounts, showing that over $80,000 passed through his accounts in a period of a year. Howard Confident Mr. Howard himself left Monday night for Jackson, Miss., his former home. From there he will go to Meridian. He was confident of acquittal as he boarded a train Monday night for the south. The Government charges Howard and 3 others, James G. Buchanan, George F. McLelland and Edward L. Patton, with conspiracy to violate the laws against the purchase and sale of Federal patronage. The indictment alleges that Buchanan bought the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi, paying Howard the sum of $2,000 for it. COURT OF APPEALS AT HOWARD The court of appeals of the Howard law school, will be held on April 19, and May 3. The following professors will act as justices: Fenton W. Booth, George E. C. Hayes, D.

DePriest Takes Congress Seat Office Is Swarmed With Friends After Illinois Congressman Is Sworn In Monday Oscar DePriest, of the first Congressional district of Illinois, was sworn in as a representative of that dis'ict in the 1st Congress at 1:45 p.m., Monday, April 15, along with 400 other members in a body, by Speaker Longsworth, and thereby became the leading Negro of the United States. He is the first representative the race has had in Congress for the past twenty-eight years. Mr. DePriest arrived in Washington Monday forenoon at 9 o'clock, in company with Judge J. J. Lupe and his brother, Robert DePries", of Chicago, and Henry Allen Boyd, of Nashville, Tenn. He was met at the station by Dr. John R. Hawkins, chairman of the colored division of the Hoover campaign committee; Garnet C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of the city schools; J. C. Bruce and F. E. Parks. He went from the station to his office in the House Office Building, room 130. There he looked over his mail and telegrams, met newspaper men, and attended to the business he found awaiting him. He is the first Congressman of color to occupy an office in the present beautiful House Office Building. Answers Roll Call At seven minutes to 12 o'clock Mr. DePriest entered the House Chamber, met and mingled with his prospective colleagues. He sat in the end seat of the sixth row, first aisle west from the Speaker's desk. He displayed little if any nervousness. His name was the first on the list of the Illinois Representatives when the roll was called. At the conclusion of the roll, 402 Congressmen had answered to their names.

To Have President The Board of Education in its meeting, Wednesday, ordered the establishment of teachers' colleges to be effective July 1, in keeping with an act of the 70th Congress, converting the normal schools of the District into teachers' colleges. Beginning with the September term all pupils entering the former normal schools will be required to take a four-year course, leading to bachelor's degree. All students now enrolled in the normal schools will continue as normal students, completing their three-year normal course. The new students entering this September will be in the first graduating class in June, 1933. Preference Eliminated The graduates of the college course will not be listed for preferential appointment as teachers in the public schools of the District under the new law, as now obtains regarding the normal graduates. The Board also ordered the creation of the office of president and dean for each college at a salary of $5,000 and $4,000 respectively, with a yearly increase of $200 per annum for the president until the salary reaches $6,000. There will be other vacancies in the personnel.

The suit filed by Eugene Barbour representing the court as executor of the estate, was the outgrowth of the failure of Davis to turn over to the executor the sum in question which had been paid to him in cash by the lodge of which the deceased was a financial member. Was Robbed of Money Davis, who was represented by Peter B. Richardson, Attorney, testified that on the night the money was turned over to him he was held up by two thugs and robbed after being carried for a ride into Virginia where the men not only took the money, but his automobile as well. Produces Affidavit At the hearing, Friday, Mr. Davis and his attorney produced an affidavit from the officer of the prosecuting attorney of the Fairfax County, Va., showing that two men had been tried and convicted of the assault and robbery. The papers showed that Davis had been assaulted and robbed of money in the extent of $175.00, an automobile valued at $700, and watch and chain valued at $80 by James Brown and Joseph Maderios, alias Portuguese Joe, on April 24, 1928, which was the data that the money was turned over to him. The men were convicted and sentenced. The suit against Davis was dismissed following this proof of the robbery. The court ruled that Davis was not liable for the money and would not have to refund the same. Men Chuckle Take Leave Dental College Receive Gift From Carnegie Corporation President Mordecal W.

Mrs. Frances Proctor Lewis told Williams to take Luther's car and drive his wife home and keep the car until the next day. He returned it the next day, but Mrs. Lewis told him to go on and keep the automobile because she was afraid to leave it in the garage. Kept Brother's Car About two days later the sister of the dead man filed her claim for the insurance benefits under the first policy. Trouble began. Mrs. Frances Proctor Lewis sent to Williams for the car. He refused to deliver it and referred her to his lawyer, who had advised him that as a second wife who had married while the first wife was still living and not divorced, she had no interest in the estate of Luther Lewis. First Wife Sought Mrs. Frances Proctor Lewis swore out a warrant in police court charging Louis Williams with larceny. The case came up for hearing before Mr. Bruce on April 9. Attorneys Houston & Houston produced a certified copy of the first marriage certificate. Mr. Bruce continued the case to April 16 to give the lawyers an opportunity to locate the first wife. Files on Estate Attorneys Houston & Houston located the first wife, Mrs. Lewis. She filed letters of administration on the estate of her husband, but on objections from the second Mrs. Lewis held up the administration of the estate. The case against Lewis Williams in connection with the automobile, however, was dismissed when the first Mrs. Lewis was produced in the office of Mr. Bruce. The first Mrs. Lewis was traced through relatives in King George County, Va., and was found living at No. 1621 Twelfth street, northwest.

Instead of having the members sworn in by state delegations, he administered the oath of office to the whole body at once. This not only saved a great deal of time, but avoided an interruption in the House proceedings due to interjeeting contests against some of the members. The session adjourned at 2 p.m. and Congressman DePriest returned to his office, where he found his desk banked with flowers and many friends, and well wishers waiting to shake his hand and bid him God's speed. He left the office at 2:30, in company, with Mrs. DePriest, his son, Stauton, and his daughter-in-law, to do some shopping in the Capital.

Social Qualifications Mr. Lightman gave but one answer to all: "I hope you'll like the new group as well as the old," he said, "and rest assured we will try to give you the best entertainment available." In many cases this explanation sufficed, but the holder ventured the query, "But are you sure they'll be nice fellows?" Mr. Lightman could not vouch for the social qualifications of his actors.

SEATINGD'PRIEST 'FILLS PROPHECY Twenty-eight Years Ago George Henry White Said Negroes Would Return By Louis R. Lautier A prophecy of twenty-eight years ago was fulfilled, Monday, when Oscar DePriest, Republican, was sworn in as a member of the seventy-first Congress from the first Congressional district of Illinois. Mr. DePriest is the twenty-first colored man to serve in the lower house. It has been twenty-eight years since a colored man was a member. The last was George Henry White, of North Carolina, who was a member of the fifty-fifth and fifty-sixth Congresses. It was Mr. White who prophesied the return of the Negro to Congress. Democrats had got possession of the state and local government in North Carolina and he had been defeated for re-election. In his farewell speech in the House on January 29, 1901, he made his prophecy. "This, Mr. Chairman," he said, "is perhaps the Negro's temporary farewell to the American Congress; but let me say, sphinx-like, he will rise up some day and come again." Nineteen Have Served Nineteen Negroes had served in the House before Mr. White. They were Joseph H. Rainey, of South Carolina; Jefferson F. Long, of Georgia; Robert De Large, of South Carolina; Benjamin S. Turner, of Louisiana; Josiah T. Walls, of Florida; Robert Brown Elliott, of South Carolina; Richard H.

Crockett, who has seen service in the Department of Agriculture under five secretaries of agriculture, was tendered an impromptu reception at the department last Wednesday, the occasion being the observance of his birthday. Secretary Hyde, the Sixth departmental head under whom Mr. Crockett has served, fittingly remembered him. Recognition of the event was not confined however, to the action of the cabinet officer. Employees of the immediate office of the secretary, together with other friends within the department, joined in appropriately observing his natal day. Mr. Crockett enjoys a host of friends both within and without the Department of Agriculture. His uniformly gracious manner and marked disposition to be of service at all times have earned for him a large number of well-wishers. At theclose of the festivities, Mr. Crockett remarked to a Tribune reporter, "Persons do not like to have birthdays, as a rule, but I am frank to say that they can come every day if I am to be the recipient of so many evidences of esteem and affection." Mrs. Mattie Smith who has been on the sick list for the past ten days is improved at this writing. ALL OF DR. J. C. DELANO'S COCO THAIR PREPARATIONS 1916 THE EARLS, Inc.

INVEST YOUR RENT MONEY IN KINGMAN PARK! 100 SMALL DOWN PAYMENT COM Write or Ca Write or Call SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—Under the guise of providing a "full crew on passenger trains operating in the state of Illinois," a bill supposedly sponsored by the Brotherhood of Railway Workers (white) was recently introduced i. i. the Illinois house of representatives by Assemblyman McCaskrin. Among other things, the bill states that a minimum full train crew shall consist of an engineer, a fireman, a conductor, a brakeman, and a flagman. Local Negro railroad workers claim that in the event the bill becomes a law, it would affect adversely hundreds of Negro railroad porters who at present run in charge. They claim also that the bill represents another attempt on the part of the Brotherhood of Railroad Workers to deny race men running "in charge" a chance to earn their bread, since Negroes are not permitted to join the Brotherhood.

C AGENTS HEAR ANTHONY OVERTON HERE The agents and underwriters of the Liberty Life Insurance Company were addressed by the president, Anthony Overton, of Chicago, who was in the city, Wednesday. Mr. Overton was introduced by W. H. C. Brown in a short spicy speech. Mr. Brown said that, we are short on hero worshiping. He expressed appreciation to welcome Mr. Overton to Washington on behalf of the business men of the city. "We wish that his institutions may grow and become a powerful influence in the business life of this city," Mr. Brown asserted. "We have a hope," said Mr. Overton, "notwithstanding the dark outlook for our business enterprises." He said that we use to spend two-thirds of our time trying to stop our competitor. Therefore we have not made the progress which the opportunities have offered. We have not made the progress the white man has made in the same proportion. "We are in the chain store period now and in about ten years more the chain store will have eliminated practically every independent merchant. We must learn to combine like the Jew and purchase our merchandise together. "Our one hope is that our big companies are beginning to learn to co-operate and are finding the real difference between co-operation and opposition." D. P. L. Hawkins In Freedmen's Dr. P. L. Hawkins, of Atlantic City, a brother of Dr. John R. Hawkins, of this city, is confined to Freedmen's Hospital with a nervous breakdown. He will possibly be there for a month.

DIAMOND COURT FOURSECTIONSTO PARTICIPATE IN TUSKEGEE MEET TUSKEEGE INST., Ala. (Athletic News Bureau)—The third annual Tuskegee Relays have taken on a national aspect with the entrance of Samuel Houston College of Austin, Texas, from the far West; Lincoln University, of Jefferson City, Mo., and Wilberforce University, from the mid-west; New Orleans University, from the far south, and West Virginia State College, from the east. Collins, of Fort Valley Normal School, Fort Valley, Ga., winner of the 100-yard dash in the remarkable time of 9.8 seconds, will be among the stars who will compete in the Clarence Matthews Memorial "100." In addition to Collins there will be Dupree of Clark University; Jackson, of Wilberforce; Wiggins, of Atlanta University; Frazier, of Alabama State Normal; Christler, of Morehouse College; Brandon, of Tuggle Institute; Washington, of Howard Academy; Roberson, of Walker Baptist; McCarthy, of Tuskegee; and the great Emmett Walls, of Lincoln University, who defeated Loren Murchison in the 50-yard dash, turning in the remarkable time of 5.3 seconds. Leander Rogers, of the same school, Western A.A.U. record holder in the 600-yard run, will also be a starter. This group composes one of the fastest sets of sprinters ever assembled for the Tuskegee Relays and a new meet record is far from a remote possibility. Many of these stars will also compete in the Philip Newburn Memorial "220". This is a new event added to the program this year. The relays manager has received assurance from all of the leading universities, colleges, normal and high schools in the south that they will send their stars to compete at Tuskegee, May 4. There is every indication that the entry list will exceed that of last year, when 185 contestants took 16 schools took part, and the field promises to include more than the average of stars, indicating many record-breaking performances. SHAW JR. HIGH DEFEATS ARMSTRONG, 8-4 The Shaw Junior High School nine displayed early season form by downing the Teachites last Friday by a score of 8 to 4 on the Walker Stadium diamond. Timothy Paulin did the hurling for Shaw, and pitched a brilliant game. A return game will be staged at 3:30 on Friday, April 19, at the same place.

Hillsdale A.C. to Make 1929 Debut Clash With Hawks Next Sunday The Hillsdale A.C., one of the leading teams in the Tribune League last season, will start their 1929 season next Sunday evening, April 21, with a clash with the Hawks. The Hawks are the cup winning Piedmonts of last season's class "B". The batteries for the Hillsdale nine will be M. and J. Levy and A. Black. Pirates To Meet the Togans Scoop Johnson's fast Washington Pirates baseball team will meet the Togans in a practise game Sunday, April 21, at 1 o'clock. The game will be on the Ivy City diamond. Both managers have promised an excellent exhibition to those fans who will come out. Columbia Cubs To Practice All players on the Columbia Cub baseball team are requested to be at the Monument grounds on diamond No. 8, Sunday morning, April 21, at 1 o'clock sharp. Important practice. The Armstrong baseball team played the Manchester baseball club on Saturday, April 13. Armstrong won the hard-fought game with a score of 5-3. CHIROPRACTOR STRUCK BY AUTOMOILE While attempting to cross the street, Dr. Charles Augustus Thompson, age 70, well known local chiropractor was struck by an automobile and knocked down on T strete, northwest. The automobile was operated by Louis Bouscaren, white, who carried the injured man to the Freedmen's Hospital, where he was treated for bruises of the back and head. His condition was said not to be serious. . EIGHT After dropping games to the Alumni, Spartan Athletic Club and Shaw, the raw recruits from Armstrong suddenly came to life and performed brilliantly behind the creditable pitching of Highsmith. The Manchester Athletic Club got two runs in the first due to an error and slow infield work, but Highsmith and his supporting cast tightened and their opponents tallied only once more. The Orange and Blue chalked up blanks for three innings, and with two gone in the fourth, hits by Tate, Johnson and Hamilton started a rally that netted two runs. Dunlap hammered out a homer in the fifth with Scott on, while a base on balls an dtwo infield outs sent in the fifth score in the sixth. Noteworthy playing was contributed by Burton, diminutive Manchester leftfielder; Catcher Conte, and J. Henderson for Manchester and Scott, and Fountain for Armstrong. The Armstrongers have been notoriously weak at the bat. Their failure to hit in pinches has cost them several games. The improvement along this line has been expected for some days. The game with Bowie Normal has been postponed till Friday, April 26th. ST. PAUL DOWNS VA. STATE, 4-2 LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — St. Paul waited a long time for its victory over Virginia State, and got it with a vengeance when Wallace won a thrilling pitcher's battle, 4-2, from Brown. The first three innings went scoreless, neither side getting beyond first base. Captain Moore drew a walk in the fourth, stole second, and scored on errors by Corprew and Medley. There was no more scoring until the seventh, when St. Paul took three more. Williams and James hit for three bases in succession. Singles by Smith and Wallace ended the scoring. Poor base running cost St. Paul several more in this inning, for everybody up on, and the Petersburg team blew right up. Errors by St. Paul's otherwise good infield allowed Virginia State to load the bases in the seventh, eighth, and ninth. In the ninth with two down, great fielding by Isley and good pitching by Wallace, who struck out Dabney with the bases loaded saved the day. State's two runs came in the eighth on two hits and two errors. Coach Taylor's boys are out for a strong finish in the association. They now hold two wins against one defeat by Howard. Score by innings: Va. State ..... 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0—2 St. Paul ..... 0 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 x— Batteries: St. Paul—Wallace and Blunt. Virginia State—Brown and G. Williams. Seven Runs In One Inning Season's Record LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — A heavy hitting St. Paul team surprised North Carolina State, last year's second place team in the C.I.A.A., to win 17-18. Seventeen hits coupled with a myriad of errors netted St. Paul seventeen runs. Seven of these came in the fifth inning. "Lefty" Evans held the sluggers from Durham in the palm of his hand until the eighth inning. St. Paul's outfield blow up, but recovered behind some fine relief pitching by Wallace, who retired the side without further damage after six runs had come in. Williams, Blunt and Valentine starred at bat for St. Paul. Thompson hitting five times, three of them for two bases, led State. Fielding was poor on both sides, though all runs were batted in. St. Paul fielders were better in the pinches. Score by innings: Score by mingh N. C. State.....000 120 062—13 St. Paul.....002 372 03x—17 Batteries: St. Paul—Evans, Wallace and Blunt. N. C. State—Jones, Vinson, and Thompson. TUSKEGE INST., Ala. (Athletic News Bureau)—The co-led will have her first chance for standard inter-school track competition at the Tuskegee Relays, May 4. Great interest is being shown in this new departure. Mrs. R. R. Moton is giving a beautiful silver finished trophy of a girl runner mounted on a marble base. This trophy will go to the winner of the quarter mile national championship relay for girls. The winning team will also receive gold medals. The other event listed for girls is the 100-yard dash.

The following schools are sending teams composed of young women: Howard Academy, Ocala, Fla.; Clark University and Morris Brown University, of Atlanta, Ga.; the Fort Valley Normal School, Fort Valley, Ga.; the Alabama State Normal School, Montgomery, Alabama; and Talladega College, Talladega, Ala. --- Many Stars ARMSTRONG WINS THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, APRIL 19, 1929 SPORT REVIEW Washington Tribune IN NEW FIELD BINGSTONE SALISBURY, N.C.-Livingstone College places much of its hopes for a victorious season in Buford all-state halfback, who is making a record on the diamond that may surpass his gridiron accomplishments. BOYS' NIGHT HUGE SUCCESS AT "Y" The opening of the boys' department on last Friday night was a great success from the viewpoint of the boys and the men who have worked so hard to provide suitable accommodations for the boys and their young guests. More than 325 boys and parents were present to witness the elaborate program provided for the occasion. The first event was a basketball game between the "Y" Junior boys and the Arrow Juniors. The "Y" team, closing their schedule for the year, won 38 to 12. This game clinched for the "Y" boys the title as the junior champions for the year 1928-29. After the game the boys were then entertained by Mr. Will Cook, of the Dunbar High School, soloist, accompanied by Mr. Julius S. Carroll at the piano. Then two of Washington's foremost tap-dancers displayed their wares for the benefit of the boys. The dancers were Mr. Joe Sewell and Mr. Bill Wallace. Mr. Ferdinand Green played the dance music. The "Y" boys then went through several gymnastic stunts and games showing that they have been very apt students of the art of co-ordinating mind and muscle. At the close of the program in the gymnasium the boys then went into the boys' department where they were greatly and agreeably surprised at the renovations made and the new games supplied. The spring membership drive is now started. The "Y" wants five hundred new members in the department before the first of July. Come in now and make arrangements for becoming a member of the largest boys' association in the country. The baseball team will gladly play any team of junior boys in the city. Write to Mr. D. B. Taylor, 1816 Twelfth street, northwest, for dates. CARDOZO BUSINESS HIGH DEDICATED The Cardozo Business High School was dedicated, Thursday evening. Representative Oscar DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, and W. H. C. Brown, president of the Industrial Savings Bank, were the principal speakers. Whitefield McKinlay, a real estate operator, gave reminiscences of the life of Francis L. Cardozo, who at one time was treasurer of the State of South Carolina, and for whom the school is named. Remarks were made by First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson and by a number of business men. The Cardozo Business High School is located in the historic old M Street School building on M street, between First street and New York avenue, northwest. Robert N. Mattingly is the principal. MAN FOUND DEAD Walter Newman, age 55, of 1904 Ninth street, northwest, was found dead sitting in a chair in the dining room of his home by his wife, Mrs. Martha Newman, Sunday evening. Death was said to be due to natural causes. He was buried at Front Royal, Va., Wednesday April 17. MAN STABBED IN FIGHT During an altercation at 1440 Florida avenue, northwest, James Young, 23, 2405 F street, northwest was cut on the forehead with a knife by Roy Simms, 27, 1440 Florida avenue. N.C. STATETAKES ONLY BONA FIDE SEASIDERS, 10-9 STUDENTS IN H.U. HAMPTON INSTITUTE—April 15—The Seasiders made a heroic effort to down the North Carolina College, but tripped at the finish when the Tar-Heel caught on to Faust's strategy and the day's honors went to the N.C. boys 10-9. This was one stupendous battle taken from any angle. In the eighth the Seasiders seemingly had carried the day with a comfortable lead. But in the ninth the Tar-Heels retaliated with a similar demonstration. Both teams proved themselves non-professional. However, Thompson, the N.C. catcher and captain Bill Williams, Hampton's sensational short stop, did exhibit much semi-pro form. Speaking of first basing, "Nute" Taliferro has made but one error thus far this season. Jesse Murray is the closest rival to V. S. Brown, Hampton's greatest third baseman. There hasn't been one here to equal V. S., as he was commonly known during his baseball career. Murray, however, is making his baseball "rep" quiver. Mr. Brown is the greatest asset to the coaching staff. Coach Williams keeps the men intact but the fine points of the game are released by captain Brown. Johnson, the hurler for the N.C. College, was exceptionally gifted with a variety of fast drops and ins. Faust, Hampton's mainstay gave the umpire much trouble in watching his speedy underhand pitching. Daniels, the Seasider's "baby" second baseman shows great ability in getting them out of the dust. The lin-up was: Hampton—Williams, s.s.; Daniels, 2b.; Stubbs, rf.; Murray, 3b. Taliferro, 1b.; Gray, lf.; Henson, c. Evans, c. Faustp. N.C. College—Grimes, s.s.; Long, 2b.; Moore, lf.; Thompson c. Cordwell, 3b.; Hawkins, cf.; Vinson, rf.; Walker, 1b.; Johnson,p.

CLARA ROMA TO GIVE RECITAL HERE—PLAN A few days ago a group of prominent citizens of this city called upon Clara Roma, distinguished singer, for the purpose of requesting an appearance in concert in the city of Washington. This modest and quiet-mannered singer, who is enjoying the distinction of a true lyric soprano, is being recognized not only for her marvelous voice and superb training, but for her value as a singer to the Negro race. Those who know Mrs. Clara Roma Peters in civic and social affairs remember her as one who has served her race in a very elegant and creditable manner. She is numbered among our leading singers. She has established a precedent among all singers, appearing in the states of North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland void of segregation. In these instances she has appeared in opera houses owned and operated by whites but the colored listeners have attended unmolested by segregation. While enjoying being the medium for the expression of song, Clara Roma uplifts and builds throughout her career. She has made special effort to appear in smaller places as well as the larger ones. She has helped to establish a desire among schools for better music. High schools in smaller communities have heard and appreciated her music, where few artists have appeared, if any. The Staunton High School, Annapolis, Md., has enjoyed the distinction of being the first high school to seek for better music. Through the leadership of their principal, Mr. Butler, they have established the idea of bringing the race artists to the smaller places that they too may enjoy the best. Clara Roma promises a recital in Washington during her 1929-1930 program. ATHLETICS SEEK GAMES The Washington Athletics will open the season, Sunday, with the Washington Hawks on the Monument Ground at 3 o'clock.

WOMAN STRUCK BY AUTO While attempting to cross the street at the southwest corner of 13th and U streets, Mrs. Bessie Savoy, 25, 1247 S. Capitol street, was struck by the automobile of John W. Brightenberg, white, of 411 M street, northwest, Sunday. She was treated at the Freedmen's Hospital for minor injuries.

The men have shown up fine at the practices and with a spirit that promises a very successful season for the Potomac Giants.

The new road runs from Rejaf, the Nile terminus of navigation from Khartum, to Stanleyville on the Congo, terminus of navigation from Leopoldville on Stanley Pool, connecting Sudan and Belgian Congo. Mark Terrell, former house manager of the Lincoln Theatre, has been appointed to succeed D. Lloyd Wycks, who resigned last week to take a government position. Mr. Terrell is a native of Birmingham, Ala., and has been connected with the theatres here for the last seven years. He was connected with the Crandall enterprises when the Lincoln Theatre was first erected. ALEX LOVEJOY WITH PARAMOUNT Alex Lovejoy, the successor to Bert Williams, and featured with "Africana", The Cotton Club and "Ebony Show Boat" is now making tests at the Paramount studio, at Astoria, Long Island, for their forthcoming talking musical, "Show Folks." Al Dumas has been chosen to manage the Lincoln house. He is a medical student at Howard University, having also been connected with the Crandall and Lichtman enterprises for some time. Both Terrell and Dumas started with this institution. Brooks Also Out It was also announced that Shelton Brooks, who for the past seventeen weeks has served as master of ceremonies for the Howard Theatre programs will be replaced next week. Charles Ray and Putney Dandridge, juvenile and orchestra leader, respectively, will also be replaced, it was said. The reason given by the management is that a change in principals is necessary to keep up the interest in the presentations. THE SHOP OF PERSONAL SERVICE Although Mr. Byars declared that the men have rendered excellent service and the house regrets to lose them, it is thought that certain unfavorable publicity appearing in out-of-town papers concerning escapades of the troupers with local school teachers had something to do with the action.

The musical will thus have about two and one-half weeks to test its drawing power against the forthcoming film version, which opens at the Globe Theatre, April 17. Instead of sending "Show Boat" on tour to Boston and other cities as he had planned, Ziegfeld will put it on ice for the summer. This means about forty colored performers that have had a most successful run with this production will be out of employment or open for other engagements.

Mr. Dandridge says: "I take this opportunity to thank the Washington theatre-going public for their support of my efforts during my stay at the Howard Theatre as director of that wonderful orchestra. It is pleasing to me to know that I have given my utmost attention toward the making of that part of the amusement in the stage presentations which are now in operation at the above named house and I do regret the leaving of my many friends and acquaintances, and I hope that they will continue their support of the house. Mr. A. E. Lichtman is a wonderful man and is doing everything that he can to bring to the colored people of Washington everything that he can to amuse and satisfy them. He spares neither pains nor money in his efforts to try to please. Denies Stories "I might include in this little article that the write-ups in the colored papers for the past two weeks are untrue, and I want the public to know that I am not leaving Washington because of them. I have an offer in another city, which is an improvement over my present position. I have taken the proper steps to contradict the statements and you will hear from me through these columns later. However, I wish to let the public know at this writing that I have had the pleasure of meeting a number of teachers, and I have found them to be ladies and gentlemen in every respect, none of them have ever been on any parties with me, due to the fact that I do not attend any wild parties. My closest and most confidential friends have been those of my own set, and I value their friendship very high. I could not afford to associate with the people of whom I am accused, as my salary would not permit me to do so, and at the same time support my dependents. Because of that, it was impossible for me to run wild during my short stay in Washington. With all due respects for them, I have nothing in common for them other than the pay for my services. This they have done, and I am very grateful to them for it, and I feel that after I have given my services it is my privilege as an American citizen to do as I please, so long as what I do is in keeping with the laws of the land. Stick by Howard "I trust that this article will be taken in the spirit in which it is given, and that I will have the opportunity of coming to Washington at some future time to entertain my many friends who have given me such loyal support. My last appeal is for your continued support of the good old Howard Theatre." 7th and T Sts. Northwest Phone, North 5224 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY.

The Lyric Quartet, known to the radio world as "Plantation Echoes," gave an entertainment at the Brotherhood Church, Red Lion, Pa., last Thursday. Mr. John H. Gibson, the father of Charlie Gibson, of the Howard Medical School, was the reader, and Mrs. Emma Brasel, pianist, also contributed to the program. The singers are: Raleigh Fester, first tenor; Charles M. Green, second tenor; Eddy G. North, baritone; Frank Poole, bass. "APPEARANCES" CLOSES After four years of constant working and revising of his comedy drama "Appearances," Garland Anderson closed his production Saturday night, that opened at the Hudson Theatre two weeks ago. This was Appearances' second attempt at Broadway, playing here four years ago at the Lyric Theatre to little or no business, then it re-opened on the coast and lost $10,000 for its backers between San Francisco and Chicago. This play about a colored man assaulting a white woman, did not take here in New York, the critics taking offense to it, and now it looks as if "Appearances" is bound for the storehouse, this time for good. "STREET ANGEL" AT THE BROADWAY For Sunday and Monday, the feature offering will be that screen classic, "Street Angel," with Janet Gaynor and Charles Farrell in the leading roles. The critics agreed that "Street Angel" is the prizewinning picture of the year, and you will agree with the critics. Tuesday only, another Western thriller, "Terror Mountain," with Tom Tyler and the be wonder, Frankie Darro. Wednesday and Thursday, the screen's greatest artist, Emil Jannings, with Ruth Chatterton, Barry Norton. Za Su Pitts, Jack Luden in "Sins of the Fathers." A characterization so true, so human that it stands high and alone. An American role. Greater than "The Way of All Flesh." Friday and Saturday, the regular double feature bill, consisting of Olive Borden and Jack Pickford in "Gang War," an underworld story of the Chinatown of San Francisco and that little boy star, Buzz Barton, in an Indian thriller, "Orphan of the Sage." The Broadway Theatre now opens at 11 a.m., and runs continuously until 11 p.m. Prices for adults are 10 cents from 11 a.m., until 5 p.m. For children under 12, during the same hours, the admission is 5 cents. RONALD COLMAN IN "THE RESCUE" AT THE REPUBLIC The great lover of the screen, Roland Colman, will be seen in his latest production, "The Rescue," at the Republic Theatre on Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April 20, 21, 22 and 23. "The Rescue" is synchronized with music and sound effects as played by the famous United Artists Orchestra. Lilly Damita, the beautiful French screen star, appears opposite Colman in this picture. From the throbbing pages of a master storyteller, Joseph Conrad, springs the drama of this thrilling tale of warring hearts, primitive hates and the eternal struggle of civilization vs. savagery. You'll see Malay demons dancing with the fury of unspent rage, and a dare-devil pitilting his brains and brawn against primitive cunning. You'll see a thrilling romance of the sea written by the master writer of sea stories. On Saturday, April 20, only will also be shown episode three of "The Fatal Warning," the gripping mystery serial of a thousand thrills. "The Cohens and Kellys in Atlantic City," a Universal Talking picture, will be shown on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, April 24, 25 and 26. You've seen the Cohens and Kellys in New York; you've seen them in Paris—now see and hear them in America's Playground. This is best of all the Cohen and Kelly pictures. John Gilbert in "Desert Nights" at the Lincoln Beginning Saturday and running through Monday will be seen John Gilbert in "Desert Nights," at the Lincoln Theatre. John Gilbert is one motion picture star who has no liking for the routine, tailor-made hero type. He delights in unusual characterizations, in roles that are real rather than heroic. According to his own expression, he prefers "characters that sweat." Which preference on his part probably accounts for the unusually colorful career he has had, the wide variety of roles, since he became a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer star. Gilbert's latest picture, "Desert Nights," Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer's sound synchronized production which will be at the Lincoln Theatre April 20, 21, 22, affords him a role that meets all his favorite specifications. On the screen, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, will be seen Greta Garbo in "Wild Orchids." Greta Garbo, tense drama and a background of romance, are the three things which distinguish "Wild Orchids," the sound synchronized Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picture which plays the Lincoln Theatre. "Wild Orchids," is an admirable vehicle for Greta Garbo's unusual talents. Cast as a misunderstood and neglected wife, Miss Garbo imbues the part with all the ardor she displayed in "A Woman of Affairs" and all the tragedy which she showed in her interpretation of Anna Karenina in "Love." Prices: Matinee, 12:45 to 6 (except Sunday), 25c to all. Sunday, 2:30 to 4, 15c to all. Evenings after 6 and Sunday after 4, children under 12, 15c; adults, 30c. There will also be seen and heard Vitaphone and Movietone acts which will be changed with each change of feature photoplay.

Is DePriest realize this sentence from Cicero: and then all will go well; for as a whole city is passions and vices of great men, so it is moderation." When Oscar DePriest received the oath of office, Monday, April 15, which made him Congressman, representing the First Congressional District of Illinois, he became the outstanding Negro of the United States—a national figure. His influence became far-reaching. His significance to the race is and should be evident. His every action will be watched with interest and will be criticized or commented according to the opinion of the person viewing it.

The courtesy and ethics governing the House of Representatives and its members must be extended to one and all alike. Mr. DePriest is in a position to demand respect as the representative of the people of the first Congressional district of the great Commonwealth of Illinois. His example of having been elected to Congress proves the contention that a Negro should be and can be elected to Congress. It has encouraged Negroes in other cities like St. Louis, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and even Louisville. The 72nd Congress may enroll two, three and even four Negroes in the House. If a Negro can run for Congress on the Democratic ticket and poll 17,686 votes against a veteran Republican in St. Louis, why can't the Negroes put over a Negro on the Republican ticket? Congressman DePriest's election proves a practical psychological fact that we can get what we want, when we want it bad enough. As a race we are hypnotized by fear and anxiety—fear of failure, fear of disease and suffering, fear of accident and misfortune, fear of inferiority and racial proscription, fear of all the things we try to avoid—these we constantly visualize and thus actually attract the very things we fear. We are told that "without vision, the people perish." May we catch the real significance of Congressman DePriest, as a Negro in Congress and catch a new vision of the possibilities for the race. We should beware of belittling ourselves, for every time we think or say we are failures or that we do not amount to anything, that we are unlucky, that we are afraid we can't do this and we can't do that, every time we speak disparagingly of ourselves or even think of unfortunate things coming into our lives, we tend to bring them into reality.

Morris, who was a recent winner in a local newspaper oratorical contest, was formerly a writer to this department of The Tribune. His story "S.O.S." published in the Children's section of the Tribune, Saturday, April 11, 1925, is as follows: I was the wireless operator on the steamship "Belle" when she collided with an iceberg. On this memorable night I was busy receiving and sending commercial messages and location reports with other ships and stations on shore. About midnight I turned into my bunk for the night. I was dreaming of the life back home, and what I would do when I arrived there and suddenly I awoke. A tremor ran through the ship and a terrific crashing ensued. Rushing out on the deck I saw that we had collided with a huge iceberg. As you undoubtedly know, it is a ship's wireless operator's duty to communicate with other ships at a time when his ship is in distress. Hurriedly returning to the wireless cabin I sent out what is probably the most direful of all radio calls—S.O.S.—S.O.S.—S.O.S. The first ship to answer my call was the steamship "Arundel." The "Arundel" immediately proceeded toward our locality. To make matters worse a dense fog arose and the "Arundel" had to reduce her speed for the fear of hitting something. On our ship we began exploding denotation bombs and firing skyrocks so that the "Arundel" would know our exact position. I had sent them a radio message telling our disabled condition, but since we had no lights because of the collision, they had to go slow for fear of running into us. Faintly I heard an answering bomb and was able to tell from what direction it came. I went back to the wireless cabin and transmitted steering directions for the "Arnudel." I was able to do this because we were able to check our direction and bearing by the bomb exploded on board the "Arnudel." Within a half an hour we heard the foghorn of the "Arundel" and then I sent another message telling them they were on the right course and to come slowly as we had no lights. Fifteen minutes later the "Arundel" came alongside us. After officers of the two ships conferred, the crews of the ships began transferring the pas- well attended. Mrs. Elizabeth White, a grand lodge officer, accompanied by two other officers were visitors.

OBJECT TO NEGRO AS HEAD POSTAL CLERK CHICAGO, Ill.-The latest evidence that much educational work remains yet to be done if the best interest of workers generally is to be served occurred here a week so ago, when Barrus B. Cooper, Negro railway postal clerk, was appointed "in charge" at the Chicago Terminal. Cooper had served for 19 years in the capacity of clerk and was considered a model worker. He was efficient, responsible, and reliable; and is said to have enjoyed the confidence, esteem and respect of his fellow workers. However, upon his appointment to "clerk in charge", white clerks circulated a WHERE THEY ARE- sengers of the "Belle" to the "Arundel." Throughout the night and half of the next day both crews worked untiringly. When the fog lifted there was one of the greatest concourses of ships ever seen on the seas. Every vessel equipped with wireless that happened to be within a three-hundred mile radius, overhearing the exchange of messages between the "Belle" and the "Arundel," had gathered to be of what assistance they could. During all of this time the "Belle" had been slowly sinking. After the passengers had all been removed the captain gave orders to abandon the ship. Everyone tried to persuade the captain to abandon the ship with us but he refused preferring to hold to the tradition of the seas. After we had put off and gone a sufficient distance so as not to be sucked down by the sinking of the ship we waited for the ship to go down so that we could rescue the captain. We found the captain clinging to a floating crate after the "Belle" had gone down and we hauled him in. Thus ends my stoy which shows what a benefit to man is the radio. OUR OLDER FRIENDS Frequently the grown-up readers of the "The Younger Folk's Realm" submit poems which they think would be of interest to the Tribunites. The editor takes pleasure in publishing some of these articles at times. I would like for parents, community group leaders—or any group of men and women who are interested in child welfare—to write to this department. Your ideas would be appreciated. From timeto time such articles will be published. I am very grateful to those elder persons who have written to me and shown an interest in the young readers of The Tribune. "LEAD KINDLY LIGHT" How It Started One of the most beloved hymns in our language, one that has brought balm to millions of troubled spirits, is "Lead Kindly Light." It was written in 1835 by John Henry Newman, at that time a minister in the church of England, and later a cardinal in the Roman Catholic Church. The hymn was composed during a fearful storm, while the vessel on which Newman was a passenger, was rocking to and fro in the Strait of Bonifacio between Corsica and Sardinia. It has been suggested, however, that is was very probably the storm in the breast of the young clergyman rather than the one out side that was responsible for the writing of the words, for it was just at this time that the well-known "Six X Ford Movement" in England, the terrible struggle between High Church and Low Chuch, was raging at its height. In his sea of troubles, the thirty-two-year-old minister's prayer was: "Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom, lead Thou me on; the way is dark, and I am far from home, lead Thou me on." petition protesting against his appointment on the grounds that a Negro clerk cannot supervise efficiently the work of white clerks. The protesting clerks also sought to have the appointment revoked in order to prevent any future appointments of Negroes over whites. Whether or not the responsible authorities will bow to the whims of the prejudiced white clerks remains to be seen. In the meantime, Cooper is going about his new duties with dispatch and displaying his usual amount of tact and efficiency. HOOVER OVERLOOKS NEGROES IN SPEECH HOOVER OVERLOOKS NEGROES IN SPEECH Campaign pledges made to colored voters are not to be redeemed at this session of Congress, President Herbert Hoover in his message to the extra session read in both Houses of Congress, Tuesday, dealt with the redemption of only two pledges given in the last election—farm relief and limited changes in the tariff. President Hoover recommended the creation of a Federal farm board and tariff revision to equalize the difference in costs of production at home and abroad. The agricultural problem, he stated, is one of "method by which relief may be most successfully brought about." The problem, he said, is not single but a great number of problems and there is no single plan or principle that can be applied. Argus Editor Here J. E. Mitchell, editor of the St. Louis Argus, St. Louis, Mo., called at the Tribune office, Thursday. He was in the city throughout the week to witness the DePriest seating and attend to business matters in the Capital.

MOTHER By Laura Jean Murray Since I've been a baby On my mother's knee, Years have brought me sorrow And taken her from me. Yet how well I see her In her queenly grace, With a sweet Madonna's smile Resting on her face. She who rocked me in her arms And fed me from her breast, Who sang to me at twilight In heaven, is at rest. Though my life may lead me Down the weary road, I know she'll be with me To help me share my load. By Milton Brighte It seems so strange, so quiet is the day; Far up and down the inter-woven street The sun and shade lies speckled all the way; No sound of labor's clanging anvil-beats Pervades the classic silence over all; No twitter of a minstrel-bird comes down Who soon will rest upon the garden wall; No sound of footfalls thru the mighty town. Yet there is something in the silent air; Invisible and noiseless in its tread That seems upon this holy day to bear A surer presence in this world of dread. Maybe the goodness that man feigns today Will sometime last and so the spirits stay. Congressmen Visit Howard University Congressmen Louis C. Cramton, of Michigan; Burton L. French, of Idaho; and Frank Murphy, of Ohio, members of the sub-committee of the House Committee on Appropriations in charge of Interior Department Appropriations, were visitors at Howard University, on Wednesday. The visitors addressed a large audience of students and faculty at the University Assembly Hour in Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel. Special music was rendered by the University Choir. President Mordecai W. Johnson presided. Mr. Cramton spoke of the record of usefulness of Howard University, and its greater potentialities. As author of the Cramton Bill, which was embodied in legislation, adopted in the last session of Congress, authorizing appropriations to Howard University, Mr. Cramton expressed great hopefulness for future development of the institution. He paid tribute to President Mordecai W. Johnson and expressed pleasure in the opportunity to work with such an able educator and to help bring his dreams to reality. Dr. Johnson next introduced Mr. French, who urged students to make the most of their opportunities for self-improvement and for service to country. Mr. Murphy spoke of the present age as presenting a great challenge to intelligence, urging students to investigate facts and think for themselves; to avoid dissipation and debaucheery. Each speaker was greeted with applause and a college yell, led by Stephen R. Stanford, of the senior class. GIVES SURPRISE PARTY A few of the intimate friends journeyed to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. A.

"All Over Town" PEOPLES DRUGSTORES. —The Better To Serve You SUNDAY A TEACHER HEARD FROM Editor of the, Tribune, Dear Sir: Speaking of the decline of learning in the public schools of Washington, what do you think of an organization which, while increasingly badgering the teachers under the pretext of keeping them abreast of the times and otherwise improving them, retains as school principals persons who have not acquired a new thought in education since Dewey won the battle of Manila Bay? Before being authorized to observe, criticize, and rate the work of teachers under their direction, ought not such antiques be required to convince the administrative officials of their fitness to pass judgment on the teachers' work and the extent of their knowledge of modern educational methods and problems? Editor of the Tribune. Sir "H. O. Valentine's" letter in last week's forum hits the nail on the head. The rank condition in our public schools revealed, by the primary tests may be attributed to the experimentation which has been the mode in the schools for the past several years and efforts of officials to shift the blame onto the teachers will prove futile. The schools are on the retrograde because the present teaching methods are unsuited to the children's needs and capacity. The primary course is a hastily-concocted mess of experimental theories. At present the fad is "free activity"; last year it was "self-expression"; next year it may be something else--anything except giving the child a sound foundation in the three "R's." Not long ago the word came from the powers-the-be: "The reading in the schools is terrible. Let everything go by the board and stress reading." On the heels of this dictum came another: "The reading is bad, but the arithmetic is worse. Drop everything and concentrate on arithmetic." A little later an official almost passed out on discovering that arithmetic was being stressed to the detriment of free activity. What wonder that occasionally a sorely-hassared teacher becomes dizzy and expresses her opinion of the manner in which the schools are administered. When such heresy is brought to the attention of a minor official by tattling assistants whose chief sphere of usefulness lies in tale-bearing and looking wise, the teacher is summoned to headquarters to apologize publicly for her temerity in doubling the great one's wisdom. At various smug, pompous officials have demonstrated their value to the school-system by roundly housing and otherwise humiliating her, the teacher is dismissed with a warning to mend her way in the meantime, our graded schools are turning out children unable to perform her read a page without sturbless write a grammatic paragraph.
