SEEK FUND FOR WOMEN GIVE LIE SGHOLARSHIP TOLYNCHEXCUSE Plan H. U. Musical Scholarship In Honor of Cornella Derrick Lampton Dawson NEW YORK—Miss Vivienne A. Shurland, of 98 Horton avenue, New Rochelle, N.Y., a former student of the piano under the late Cornella Derrick Lampton Dawson, is suggesting that a fitting memorial to the work of her former teacher would be the establishing of a scholarship fund to be devoted to the musical education of a worthy young student at the Howard University Conservatory of Music. Miss Shurland's Statement A statement of her purpose by Miss Shurland reads as follows: "Believing that the many friends and admirers, comprising the intelligentsia of our race will be glad to help perpetuate the memory and brilliant attainments of the late lamented Cornella Derrick Lampton Dawson, youngest daughter of the late Bishop Lampton, this appeal for a scholarship fund in her honor is made to a generous public. "Cornella Lampton was recognized as one of our most distinguished pianists, appearing in recital in many sections of the country, winning the highest praise from teachers, including such celebrities as Pery Grainger, Roy Tibbs, Glenn D. Gunn, critics and the press. She was a true musician in every sense of the word, and an altogether lovely charming character. In her death, our race sustained a great loss, and it seems only fitting that we show our appreciation of her by doing what we can to carry on the work to which she devoted her life, having begun her studies at the tender age of five years' working diligently and successfully until the close at the early age of 32. Was Howard Grad "She was a graduate of Howard, Oberlin and Juillard Schools of Music. The object of this appeal is to establish a scholarship at Howard University for some worthy student in the piano department, to be known as the 'Corrella Lampton Scholarship,' in her honor and to help elevate our youth." PRIEST, FORMER LOCAL MAN SHOT BY COP DETROIT — Because he walked away from a policeman and would not stop when told to do so, Father Norman A. Duckett, a priest at St. Benedict Catholic Church here, says that he was shot by a policeman at midnight Monday. Rev. Duckett was formerly of Washington. D. C., and for a number of years was an altar boy at St. Augustine's Church there. He was shot in the leg. The wound is not serious. Southern White Women Say Violence Not Necessary to Protection of Womanhood The claim of white men of the south that mob violence and lynching is for the protection and by the sanction of white women is given a black eye by the very women the men claim to protect. The Commission on Interracial Co-operation has compiled a resume from the club women of the various southern states, and this is what they say in Alabama: "We protest: (Continued on page 2) FEARING EXECUTION, MAN LEAVES JAIL PORT GIBSON, Miss. (ANP)—"I had to go, but I understand that my neck is going to be broken and this is the best way out of it," was the substance of a note left for Deputy Sheriff Davenport by George Jones, who broke jail here. Jones was charged with killing Joe Williams when the car of Sheriff Bagnell, which Jones, a trusty convict, was driving, ran the man down several months ago. Deputy Sheriff Davenport was notified by Noah Nobles, who declared that his son had talked to Jones on the street a short time before, and investigation showed that Jones had escaped from jail by using false keys he had made to open his cell and other jail doors. He had locked the doors after him. Bloodhounds were obtained and trailed Jones to the railroad, where the trail was lost. Deputy Sheriff Davenport said the note Jones left stated that he had no assistance in the break for liberty but had brought from Fayette, where he had been kept in jail a short time, the material used in making the keys. Being a good mechanic, it is believed he spent several weeks in perfecting the false keys. $650 Paid by Trio In Liquor Cases Possession of a gill of liquor cost Virginia Delaney $100 in Police Court, while Brack Williford escaped with only a $50 fine for possession of a quart of liquor. The woman was arrested by Prohibition Agents S. LaScola and Charles McCartney in the Gay Parce Night Club.

Malone, of St. Louis, Mo., who was in Washington in connection with the interest of Poro College. After attending Chapel Mrs. Malone paid a hurried visit to the Medical School where students gave eloquent expression of their deep gratitude for her gift of $10,000 to the Medical Endowment.

Howard Professor Reports On Hospital Survey Dr. Algernon B. Jackson, professor of Bacteriology and Public Health of the Howard University School of Medicine, recently made a survey of 120 Negro hospitals extending over seventeen different states and the District of Columbia. The survey was made under the direction of the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association and is reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association for April 20. Dr. Jackson was accompanied on the tour of inspection by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Jackson, who was formerly head nurse of the Mercy Hospital in Philadelphia, over which Dr. Jackson presided as superintendent. Mrs. Jackson confined her observations to the phase of nurse training in the various hospitals visited. The report states that in some instances conditions were so serious and disheartening as to prompt the recommendation of the hospitals in question to be abolished, while, on the other hand, institutions were found to be administered with efficiency, with service and care as their guiding motives. Such hospitals measured up to the standards of the association. Eleven Teachers Seek Leave of Absence Nine teachers in the College of Liberal Arts at Howard University have applied for leave of absence next year to do graduate study in the universities of America and Europe.

HUESTON CENTER OF ATTACK ON WILSON REGIME Bruseaux Turns Big Guns On Commissioner of Education CHICAGO, Ill.—The bitter Elk war being waged by Sheridan A. Brusseaux, head of the Keystone National Detective Agency, turned momentarily from the Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, and is being centered on William C. Hueston, commissioner of education, who is charged this week with extravagance and inefficiency in the administration of the business of his office. The minutes of the 1928 grand lodge show that Mr. Hueston's office disbursed the sum of $13,712.20 from August 4, 1927, to August 6, 1928. Of this total only $7,004.23 was paid to universities, colleges and schools for scholarships. The sum of $1,400, according to the minutes, was spent in connection with the last national oratorical contest. The balance of the amount disbursed was paid out for salaries and office expenses. Gives No Account Mr. Hueston received a total salary of $3,083.23. His clerk was paid by the Elks the sum of $1,100. Mr. Hueston also received for incidental expenses of his office the sum of $379.62. o itemized account of the ex- (Continued on page 2) RALPH MATTHEWS RE SIGNS TRIBUNE POST Ralph Matthews, who since last September, has been news editor of the Washington Tribune, tendered his resignation to Mr. William O. Walker to be effective Saturday, May 11.

MAY APPEAL TO HOOVER TO SAVE BOY FROM CHAIR Only Executive Clemency Can Save Youth From Electric Chair Now George Herbert Thompson, youthful slayer, must pay the death penalty for the murder of his sweetheart. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, Monday, affirmed his conviction and death sentence. Chief Justice George E. Martin, who wrote the opinion of the court, found no errors upon which a reversal of the District Supreme Court could be based. Denies Confession Thompson based his hopes for a new trial on the admission into evidence of a confession signed by him. His attorneys claimed that he had no knowledge of its contents and that he was forced to sign it by the threats and physical violence of the police officers who had him in custody. At the trial the testimony of Thompson and the police officers was heard in the absence of the jury and then the confession was admitted as evidence. All Three. Signed The morning after the murder Thompson was brought to police headquarters. He made a statement of the killing in the presence of three police officers. One of the officers wrote it in long hand and a few minutes later it was type-written and Thompson and the three officers signed it. Says They Beat Him Thompson said that he did not read the statement or know its contents. One of he officers during a brief absence of the others from the room, he stated, accused him of lying, and when he protested that he was telling the truth, the officer hit him in the mouth and on the chest and shoulders. His nose began to bleed, he said, and he washed the blood from his face before the other two officers returned. Thompson claimed that he signed the confession under the influence of fear resulting from this treatment. (Continued from page 2) Fail To Break Will of Mrs. Carrelean Milford The will of Mrs. Carrelean L. Milford, disposing of an estate of about$6,000 was sustained in probate court, Tuesday. The jury reached its verdict in 10 minutes. John R. Herbert, who formerly operated a restaurant on Fourteenth street, northwest, and his family, sought to break it. Before the case went to the jury Justice William Hitz, who was presiding, withdrew the issue of undue influence alleged to have been exercised by Mrs. Marietta F. Howard, proprietor of a barber shop at Seventh and Florida avenue, who is the executrix of the estate. There was no evidence to support this issue, Justice Hitz decided in granting the motion of Mrs. Howard's counsel. The jury found that the will was properly executed and that Mrs. Milford was of sound mind at the time of its making. The estate under the will will go to Mrs. Howard and the nieces and nephews of Mrs. Milford, children of two deceased sisters. Mrs. Milford was the widow of George L. Milford, one of the first colored lawyers in the District of Columbia. She died January 27, 1928. Her will is dated November 11, 1926, and was witnessed by Drs. F. D. Whitby and George H. Butcher. Attorneys Charles H. Houston and Mortimer M. Harris represented Mrs. Howard. TO PRACTICE LAW IN D. C. Resignation as Special Assistant to Attorney General Follows Reinstate- Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, who was recently acquitted of charges of bartering Federal offices, resigned Monday as a special assistant to the Attorney General. He will enter the general practice of law here. His resignation was coincident with the lifting of the order suspending him from duty and pay following his indictment by a Federal grand jury in Mississippi in last July on charges in connection with patronage. Did Not Request Resigniation Attorney General William D. Mitchell, whose acceptance of the resignation was also made at the same time, said that he had not requested Mr. Howard to resign. Mr. Howard intimated that eight years of Government service was sufficient. His resignation, he emphasized, had nothing to do with his position on the national committee. "I am not getting out of politics," he said. "but am merely getting in. I am free and untrampled, owing no allegiance except to my constituents and my race." He has been besieged with requests for speaking engagements. He said that he expects to accept and fill most of them. Mr. Howard's was the first appointment of a colored man made by the Harding administration. He was appointed a special assistant to the Attorney General by Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty, DePRIEST TO TAKE INTEREST IN CITY Representative Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, only colored member of Congress, will take a deep interest in District legislation during his term in Congress, whether he is appointed to the House District Committee or not, he declared last week. "I want to see Washington made the most beautiful city in the world," he said. "I want to see it second to none in public buildings, parks, playgrounds, schools, and other civic developments." He said he had heard rumors that he had applied for membership on the District Commission, which will be organized for the next session of Congress, but protested he had taken no such action. ALEXANDRIA, VA. GIRL IN ELK STATE CONTEST ALEXANDRIA, Va. — It has been erroneously stated in several papers that Alexandria would not be represented in the State Contest to decide the contestant to represent the state in the Elks' Oratorical contest to be held in Atlantic City, N.J. Miss Esther B. Johnson, a pupil of Parker-Gray School, winner of the eliminating contest held in Alexandria, under the auspices of Alexandria Lodge, No. 48, was decided the winning contest to represent Alexandria, by competent judges under the leadership of Capt. Campbell C. Johnson. Miss Johnson will attend the satie contest which will be held in Norfolk, Va.

His salary was increased to $6,000 a year later and he enjoyed the distinction of being the highest salaried colored man in the Government service. Controlled Patronage At the Republican national convention in Cleveland in June, 1924, he was elected a member of the Republican national committee. Previously he and M. J. Malvihill, white, whom he defeated, had had an arrangement respecting the distribution of patronage, but after his election all Federal patronage in Mississippi came under his control. His recommendation to a Government department meant appointment. Charges Started It was not long, however, before investigations into charges of trafficking in Federal offices were begun. The Post Office Department sent its investigators into Mississippi. Postmaster General Harry S. New advised him after an investigation by postal inspectors that there was nothing revealed which showed his connection with any of these matters, although it was shown that certain individuals connected with the Republican organization in that state had solicited and accepted money from candidates for office. Found No Evidence The Department of Justice sent its agents into Mississippi. Their findings were put into the confidential files of the bureau of investigation. Representative Jeff Busby, Democrat, of Mississippi introduced a resolution asking that the Attorney General be directed to transmit to the House the report of the agents of the Department of Justice on the Mississippi patronage-abuses charge, and all evidence filed with it relating to Mr. Howard. The judicial committee made an adverse report on the Busby resolution, stating "that in no case has the authority investigating the matter found evidence warranting the prosecution of Perry W. Howard." Charged With Office Sales For more than two years nothing was heard of the charges. The Brookhart committee began its investigation of patronage abuses in the south under a Senate resolution. Then immediately following the Republican national convention at Kansas City, Mo., Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, an assistant attorney general, convened a special term of court at Biloxi, Miss., went there, presented evidence and obtained an indictment against Howard and his associates. He was charged with two sales of the office of United States marshal for the southern district of Mississippi, one to A. P. Russell for $1,500, and the other to James G.

On both of these charges he was later tried and acquitted. President Issuqs Statement President Issues Statement It was believed that Mr. Howard would be reinstated in the Department of Justice following his acquittal until President Hoover issued his edict declaring that "recent exposures of abuse in recommendations for Federal office, particularly in some parts of the states of South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi, under which some of the Federal departments, mainly the Post Office, were misled in appointments, obviously render it impossible for-the-old organizations in these states to command the confidence of the administration." Charge Lily Whites The whole proceedings against Mr. Howard have been regarded as lily-white efforts to get rid of him. On that score he has had the backing of Democrats, who believe that so-called white supremacy will be less endangered in Mississippi by a Republican party in his control than one in the hands of ambitious lily-whites anxious to build up a strong following. GARNET-PATTERSON DEDICATION GARNET-PATTERSON DEDICATION (Continued from page 1) of temples of freedom, rather than institutions of mere utilitarian and vocational news. Senator James Patterson was lauded for his effort in getting the law through Congress which gave to Washington her school system for the freed men and their descendants.

HUESTON ATTACK ON WILSON (Continued from page 1) penditures in connection with the national oratorical contest is given. The minutes simply show that a check for $1,000 for prizes was drawn to the order of J. Finley Wilson and another check for $350 for general expenses of the contest was drawn to the order of W. C. Hueston. Dissatisfaction Follows In Washington, D.C., in 1927, the expenses of the contest were less than $200. The two national oratorical contests conducted by the commissioner of education were flascoes, Mr. Bruseaux charged. The contest in Washington ended in a large made by the guardian of a youth from Norfolk, Va., who won the second prize, that he was short-changed of $100 in his prize money. Near Riot The contest in Chicago ended in a near-riot when the judges were charged with robbery, the color question being injected into the affair. No less a person than Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D.C., questioned the decision of the judges. The audience believed that the decision was made on the basis of color and not of oratory. Prolific Writer Mr. Hueston is a prolific writer, Mr. Brusseaux says. His reports to the grand lodge are generalities, from which nothing of the work of his bureau can be gleaned, states the investigator. He suggests that Mr. Hueston clear up the situation by informing the Elks in regard to the cost of operation of his office and the justification for the tax of $15,000 a year that has been imposed upon the brotherhood for the carrying on of the work of his office. Demands Statement "The Elks are entitled to know," says Mr. Bruseax, "how much time Mr. Hueston devotes to his duties as commissioner of education for his salary of $3,000 a year in comparison with the time he devotes to his magisterial duties and legal work. "They are entitled to know how much work Miss Ela Mae Ross, his clerk, is who paid $1,200 a year by the order, does exclusively for the Elks and how much of Mr. Hueston's magisterial, legal and personal stenographic work she does. Costs Too High "A cost of $6,700 for the administration of 36 scholarships and the staging of a national oratorical contest of the kind that Mr. Huezon staged in 1927 and 1928, is too great and indicates inefficiency and extravagance. Blames Wilson "Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson is directly responsible. The bureau of education was one of his schemes adopted by the grand lodge. Mr. Hueston is his creature. It is he who has sponsored salary raises and clerk hire for Mr. Hueston." Bruseaux further asserts. Armond W. Scott, past grand exalted ruler, of Washington, D.C., is opposing Mr. Hueston for commissioner of education. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 MAY APPEAL TO HOOVER (Continued from page 1) Made Voluntarily—Claim The police testified that the statement was voluntarily made. They denied that anyone struck him. They said that after the statement was written, it was read to Thompson. Chief Justice Martin held that the lower court did not err in admitting the signed statement as evidence and leaving it to the jury to determine whether it should be be reeled. Was Jealous Thompson killed his sweetheart, Elsie R. Bowan, at 1010 Kepon street, northwest, on October 31, 1927. They had quarreled over another man's attentions to her and she had told him that she was through with him. He sought a reconciliation. She refused to be reconciled. He made another effort at reconciliation. She repulsed him. He left her home, pawned an overcoat and bought a gun. He returned and asked her again to make up with him. She refused. He told her he was going to kill her. She told him to shoot. He shot her as she was seated on a davernport. He fled through the kitchen door but later surrendered to the police. He has only two avenues of escape from the electric chair. One is the Supreme Court of the United States. The other is executive clementy by President Hoover. He is under sentence to die on June 7. WOMEN GIVE LIE TO LYNCH EXCUSE (Continued from page 1) "1. Against all mob violence by any race for any crime. "2. Against the claim that lynching is necessary for the protection of white womanhood." From Arkansas In Arkansas the white women say: "We recognize that the degradation of woman is the doom of any race, and that among the number of underlying causes of the present racial situation in America is the lack of respect and protection for Negro womanhood." The women of Georgia say: "Therefore, we believe that no falser appeal can be made to southern manhood than that mob violence is necessary for the protection of womanhood; or that the brutal practice of lynching and burning of human beings is an expression of chivalry." From Kentucky we read: "We hold that no circumstances can justify the disregard of civil law and human rights involved in lynchings and other forms of mob violence." USED AUTOMOBILES T PAY AS YOU MERRILY ROLL ALONG! THESE AGENTS GUARANTEE THEIR CARS AND SOLICIT YOUR TRADE From Louisiana In Louisiana we hear: "We register our protect against the barricade custom of lynching." In Mississippi where they burn 'em: "As southern women we hold that no circumstances can ever justify mob action." From North Carolina comes this statement: "We resent the assertion that criminality can be controlled by lawless outbreaks, and woman's honor protected by savage acts of revenge." From South Carolina: "There is no greater fallacy than that which holds up the shield of womanhood in defense of the crime of lynching and burning of human beings." From Tennessee The women of Tennessee pledged themselves: "To use our utmost influence the speedy prosecution of all who engage in mob violence and all officials who fail to uphold the law." The women of Texas say: "Lynch is the black spot on America's soul. We declare ourselves for law and order at all cost." The ladies of the "Old Dominion": "Declare ourselves for a single standard of morals, for the protection of all womanhood, and for equal punishment for all offenders against the same." CARDOZO BUSINESS HI SCHOOL NEWS Wednesday, May 1, was "Movie Day' at Cardozo." In the morning the students saw "Simba" at the Dunbar Theatre, and on returning to the school they were entertained by a talk and picture presented by Mrs. Annie T. Malone, founder of the Poro College. The Physical Training Class presented a Health Play at a general assembly on Monday, May 6. The play was sponsored by Miss E. Williamson, physical training teacher, and Mrs. Childs, matron. At the Wednesday morning assembly the B. P. C.'s presented a check for $10 to be used for the benefit of the athletic association. The Juniors of Cardozo entertained the Seniors, Friday evening, May 3. This affair was made very colorful by the yellow and green decorations, which were chosen as the Junior colors. The gay colors of the dresses of those who attended also made a very colorful display. To make the evening more enjoyable every one was given favors which seemed to give everyone new life. Several of the members of the faculty were present, all of whom took part. DR. WOODSON'S WORK TRACES GROWTH OF NEGRO BUSINESS The current issue of the Journal of Negro History is practically devoted to Negro business. The first article, "The Negro as a Local Business Man," by J. H. Harmon, Jr., takes up 40 pages of very interesting reading on the Negro as a business man from slavery, through reconstruction to the present. It is a comprehensive treatis of the Negro business man and contains many subjects for constructive thought for our men who are in business and for those who anticipate entering a business career. Dr. Woodson has an article on "Insurance Business Among Negroes," which is informative and covers the business from its early stages to the present. "The Negro in Banking," by Arnett G. Lindsay, manager of the People's Finance Corporation of St. Louis, and a graduate of Howard University, is one of the best on the subject. Going back to pre-Civil War day, Mr. Lindsay says: "As early as 1833, Negroes in various parts of the United States had accumulated enough wealth to make loans to the less thrifty class of their people." He names Thomas Lafon, of New Orleans, who "loaned his money at advantageous rates of interest," and who left an estate of $413,000. The census of 1850 shows eight Negroes in New Orleans who were in the money brokerage business. In 1850, there were 434,495 "free persons of color" in this country. In the "ifties there was much discussion of establishing savings institutions for "persons of color" in New York, Cincinnati, and Philadelphia. As early as 1865 "free persons of color" were reported to have $600,000 on deposit in banks in New York City. Aultment System The first bank for Negroes was organized in 1864, in New Orleans by John O. Banks. It known as the "Free Labor Bank." The "allotment system" was established in the army and Negro soldiers were taught to save a certain amount of their monthly pay. Those stationed near New Orleans deposited their money in this bank. One section called "Rost Host Colony" deposited $21,605.83, which served as a substantial encouragement. STEUART MOTOR CO.

There was a large sum left unclaimed in the military savings banks at the close of the war, and A. M. Sperry, paymaster in the army, conceived the plan to use this unclaimed money to fund a savings institution. Following this idea through the efforts of John W.

Jack Nafte, who tied a native employee head downward by the leg from a tree and lashed him so severely that he subsequently died, had already been sentenced to seven years at hard labor. But the judge, in passing sentence for the assault, which he described as "horrifying in its cruelty," said that the punishment would not be adequate unless it also included infliction upon Nafte of physical pain. SBORO TMENT ard Sts., N. W. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. MAY 10. 1929 LUVALLE SAYS HOME HAS LOST ITS SANCTITY "There can be no higher undertaking than that of trying to improve our homes," said J. A. G. LuValle to the parents and teachers of Lovejoy school at Twelfth and D streets, northeast, Thursday night, in an address on "Home Improvement." "The feature of our race," said he, "largely depends upon improved home training. In this jazz age, the home has lost some of its sanctity, some of its halo, much of its influence, and while there are five or six national organizations among white people endeavoring to improve their homes, there is not a single organization of national import among Negroes, looking toward home improvement. "If the white people, with all of their wealth and facilities for educational advancement, need six national organizations devoted to various phases of home improvement, how much more do we need at least one organization devoted to the home and its improvement?" Home Needs Attention "Every home needs attention and instruction or help in one of the following phases of home life: architecture and construction of the home, beautifying home grounds and garden, better books in the home, better health with particular attention given to the functioning of the duckless glands, better music in the home, better partnership between school and home, boys' workshop in the home, character building based on love as the impelling force for obedience, economics in the home, financing, fire protection, home play, home management, budgeting, how to furnish the home, labor saving equipment, for kitchen and laundry, planning a home, savings, spiritual uplift. "The field is so great, the needs are pressing, our homes are calling for attention and our children who are to be the backbone of the race in the next twenty-five or thirty years should have every facility possible in the home to help and inspire them for the best there is in life." Reviews Work Mr. J. H. Baddy, the president of the association, presided. He reviewed the work before the Senate Committee in a plea for the eight-room addition needed at the school. This is a school of 20 rooms, 39 teachers, 1,067 pupils, with no assembly hall or auditorium. More than 200 persons were present who sat in one of the corridors of the building. Dr. Renfro, the principal of the Lovejoy school, said that they were going to continue their fight for this eigh-room addition and assembly hall. Dr. Geo. H. Richardson, president of the Federated Civic Association, was present and spoke on improving the home along the line of the previous speaker. This was the last meeting of the association for this school year. American Woodmen Busy The weekly festivities began at Cook's Tabernacle, Sunday, April 21, with an unusually interesting sermon by Sister Isabella Bundy. On the same afternoon a pink tea was given at the home of Mrs. Marion B. Pryor, of 2097 Dumbarton avenue, northwest, when members of Georgetown Camp No. 4. C. M. White's Boosters Club, and the Green Cross Nurse Corps of that section streamed through the home until late in the evening. Tuesday evening found the members of the Whiteside Social Club feasting and socializing at the residence of Commander and Mrs. Kervey McKaskill at 911 S street, northwest. Everything remained quiet during the remainder of the week until Sunday, April 28, 8 p.m., when the annual sermon of the organization was preached at Mt. Moriah Baptist Church by Rev. J. H. Randolph, the pastor. A very elaborate program was rendered as the following persons responded: Rev. W. M. Overton, invocation; Rev. White, welcome address; response, Dr. C. Leonard Johnson; reading by Miss Hawkins, and quartet by Georgetown Camp; presentation of pastor by Commander C. C. Johnson; sermon by pastor, and remarks by the Supreme Escort, A. T. Washington. The resignation of Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman for Mississippi, as a special assistant to the Attorney General, Monday, left a vacancy in the Department of Justice which may be filled by another colored man. Chief consideration for a post in the Department of Justice is being given to Robert L. Vann, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Charles C. Calloway, of Kansas City, Mo.; and Raymond Price Alexander, of Philadelphia. There is still the possibility of a colored man being made a statutory assistant attorney general, but it is remote. There are two probable vacancies in assistant attorney generalship. Mr. Vann's name has been mentioned in connection with an assistant attorney generalship. There are others who are desirous of a post in the Department of J. stice, particularly the place made vacant by he resignation of Mr. Howard, but there is no indication that any serious consideration is being given to their claims.

Peculiar Sex Rites Wrecked Moorish Temple DETROIT, Mich.—Disclosures of a sordid nature were made at the trial of Lomax Bey, head of the Mohammed Temple of Michigan who was saved by Moorish Science Temple from which he withdrew failing to account for $30,000 which he had collected. Testimony showed that Lomax collected about $35,000 or $40,000 from members and spent less than $10,000, failing to account for the balance. In order to cover up his defalcations he organized the new outfit and made an assignment of all properties to the Mohammed Temple without any consideration. The bank which had been doing business with the Moorish Temple refused to accept this kind of business and the injunction followed. That there was started several immoral practices in dealing with the women of the organization in a secret initiation and that all the women who submitted were forced to undergo a criminal operation was brought out in the trial. The women were forced to pay $15 for this operation. Members broke away from Lomax on account of these practices and his unwillingness to account for funds.

THE CHESAPEAKE AND POTOMAC TELEPHONE COMPANY FRAT MEN HEAR NATIONAL SECRETARY Wilbur Walden, national secretary of the Alpha Chi Rho interfraternity council, addressed Howard University's inter-fraternal group at the Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity house on the evening of May 2, 1929. It was through the influence of Mr. Garey Brown and Mr. Belford V. Lawson that Mr. Walden appeared. This brilliant guest-speaker gave a thorough analysis of all the problems that face fraternity life at colleges throughout America. Mr. Walden stated that the public is generally misinformed about the noble intentions and great sociological influences of the members of college fraternities. "Our public press only too often emphasizes the evils and nonsense that occasionally creeps into isolated college fraternity units. The good that fraternities do is often over shadowed by the sensational play-up given by the press. The public must be taught to see the good of American college fraternities," Mr. Walden emphasized after being introduced by Mr. Lawson to the throngs of representatives of all Howard's fraternity group. Alpha Chi Rho is in its 180th year of existence, it has 1,000,000 members representing 690 colleges in America, 200 fraternities, and 4,000 chapters. Mr. Walden the inter-fraternity council has property valued at $50,000,000. "Every fraternity should furnish to its members a house. The fraternity home provides valuable points of contact among the members. The influence and appointments of the fraternity house should be comparable to the members' home," Mr. Walden continued. The inter-fraternity council at Howard is composed of Messrs James Jones and E. A. McLaughlin of Phi Beta Sigma; Messrs John W. Poe and William Warfield, of Kappa Alpha Psi; Messrs Belford V. Lawson, and Paul Miller, representing Alpha Phi Alpha, and Mr. Garey Browne, and Mr. Edward Beaubian, of Omega Phi fraternity. Howard University's inter-fraternity council has been regularly meeting under the direction of faculty supervision for several months. All of the fraternities have sanctioned the major portion of the laws and by-laws of the council's constitution. This inter-fraternal body will supervise all fraternity matters which affect the relations of one fraternity to another. The council has been most successful because of the co-operation of all of Howard's fraternities. It will be a permanent institution at the University. WOMEN SEEK IMPROVEMENT ATLANTA, Ga., May 1— The organized women of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, numbering a quarter of a million, are urged to give their support to the promotion of interracial justice and particularly to interest themselves in the improvement of Negro school facilities, in an appeal issued by the Jubilee Social Service Conference of the Woman's Missionary Council recently held here.

Baptist Ministers’ conference in session here Tuesday when Rev. Andrew Caraker, pastor ‘of the First Baptist Church, Cor- ile, asserted in his conference germon that the Protestant denom- fnations were “offspring of the ‘Cathalic church hodling to the doctrine of purgatory, hell, fire and brimétone, in an effort to scare converts into the churches.” “Rev. T. F. Callaway, of Thomas- ville, took the floor in- defense of the fundamentalist position and referred to the motlern gospel of Rev. Caraker as “ the curse of Bresent day evangelism,” stoutly declaring “the absence of the hell fire and brimstone doctrine in the pulpit today” to be responsible for ‘the wave of immorality and crime. ———o—— Rey C.

Fishing, Hunting, Golf) STATEMEN People who look upon church- men as pious reticent individuals who have no interest in the or- dinary pleasures of life will find a contradiction in Bishop John A. Gregg, of Kansas City, Kansas, resident bishop of the Fifth Epis- copal District of the A. M. E. Church who was a visitor in’ the city this week. Bishop Gregg, made robust thru his years in South Africa has a fondness for all form of outdoor sport and does not permit his ec- clesiastieal duties to prevent him from enjoying the pleasures of life found in close communion with nature and the elements. As will be remembered Bishop Gregg spent four years in South Africa wher he built two schools and thirteen churches. During this time he was elected President of Howard University, the first of our group to be ‘honored with election to this position. While in the city he was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. John A. Lankford, of 1748) S street, northwest. The Bishop is a great lover of out door sports as is also Mr. Lank- ford; who is known as the Nimrod and past master of hunting and fishing. ‘The bishop in company with Mr. Lankford, visited Congress and the various departments of the church located here. The golf links then claimed their time, together with the sport stores where they stocked up in preparation of the opening of the fishing and gunning season. While in the East, Bishop Gregg will extend: his visit to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. In Baltimore he will be the house guest of Dr, and Mrs. Charles E. Stewart and in Philadelphia of Dr. and Mrs. D, M. Baxtgr, of the A, M. E. Book Concern. Mrs. Emma Lee Williams at Salem Temple Sunday On Sunday afternoon from 3:15 to 5:30 the Mt. Bethel B. Y. P. U.

Life Readings One Dollar No Readings Given By Mail BR'SEAUX ISSUES STATEMENT ON DEPRIEST CASE To clear up the public's mind in ‘regard to the recent charges that ‘resulted in the indictment of Hon. Oscar DePriest, Congressman-elect, the writer immediately sought an interview with Sheridan A. Bru- seaux, chief investigator for the Special. Grand “Juries, which was charged with the indictment of Mr. DePriest. The writer asked Mr. Bruseaux to give him a true statement as to all facts in regard to the recent ‘indictment by the Special Grand Juries, Mr, Bruseaux reluctantly gave an interview for the mere purpose of clearing the public's mind, so that the public at large could have absolute confidence in the newly-elected Congressman, in- Jasmuch as he is Fepresenting” the First, District of Illinois, and also the fifteen million Negroes in the United States of America. | ‘Testified Voluntarily Mr, Bruseaux stated that Mr. DePriest’s indictment came about solely by individuals who were for- merly connected with him, and at the present time affiliated with him and his political organization, who saw fit to bring witnesses and in- formation into the office of the Spe- cial Grand Juries, unsolicited and without pay, and’ then it became his duty as’ chief investigator, to present those facts to the assistant attorney general for its presenta tion before the Special Grand Jur- ies, which resulted in his indict- ment. Charges Unwarranted Mr. Bruseaux stated that subse- quent to that time, that by virtue of the power and authority vested in him as chief investigator by the attorney general of the state of Illinois, he had seen fit to investi- gate the said charges that resulted in Mr. DePriest’s indictment, and upon his investigation, he’ had found the charges unwarranted and fome of the witnesses thoroughly unresponsible, which resulted in his recommendation that the pres- ‘ent charges against the Congress- man be dismissed. |, Upon these recommendations that resulted from the investiga- tion, the Hon. Frank J. Loesch, Chief Special Prosecutor under the attorney general ,and now first as- sistant state’s attorney, immediate- ly asked the Hon. Judge Lynch of the Superior Court to dismiss the said charges, Worthy of Confidence Mr, Bruseaux stated that upon his investigation, which was thor- ough and complete, of the charges that the Hon, Oscar DePriest: wae indicted upon, that, he had found him absolutely clean and_ fully worthy of confidence placed in him in his newly assigned duties as Congressman of the United States ‘from the First District of Ilionis. First Statement It may be remembered, that Hon. Oscar DePriest was indicted in the month of August, 1928, by the Special Grand Juries on a. charge of conspiracy, which resulted grave concern among our group throughout America, and this is the first time that Mr. Bruseaux, who is more thoroughly familiar with said indictment by virtue of the fact of his office as chief in- vestigator, than any other indi vidual, has seen fit to give out any interview concerning the charges against Mr. DePriest.

By Uncle Dud I have just returned from a trip to Harleen where I was called on business pertaining to the Colored Talking Pictures, and Broadway opportunities, for the colored actors and shows, and after a close observation I think that there is a big future in the Talking Pictures, and other amusements are grabbing up all of the colored talent that have something to offer. Not only is there an opportunity for colored shows, but there are a number of white shows with colored talent in them, and still more organizing. Miller and Lyles go into a big white show with a bunch of other colored artists, and a sixty-piece all colored orchestra. What a show this will be! At present there are about six shows using colored talent, employing from one to thirty people. Doe Doe Green is the only colored artist with his show. Earnest Whitman is really starring in his show (Harlem). Earl Dancer is busy rehearsing shows, tabs, and orchestras. He is now connected with Lew Irvin (white) in the Bond Building. Miller Producing Irvin Miller is a busy man producing his regular attraction, and is also rehearsing a few big colored acts for the Keith Time. Clarence Robinson also has a big aggregation playing the Keith circuit. They opened while I was there, and reports on the acts were good. Saw Billy Pierce, who is also busy as can be. I am really proud of him, for when Billy left Washington and decided to go to New York, to go into a business that he knew nothing about, I had my doubts, and believe me, he had lots of knocks and hardships, but I am proud to say that old Bill is sitting on ton now. Henry Troy and Shelton Brooks are rehearsing a show, and it promises to be somewhat different from the other Broadway offerings, and I myself think it good, as Troy has some good ideas, and Shelton has some whistly strains of music in his system that ought to hit. Leonard Harper is rehearsing two new floor shows, one for Connie's Inn, and one for Small's Cabaret. Besides he is rehearsing a big show for Broadway, all colored, seventy-five people. I think Harper is one of our cleverest young producers. Writing talkie Bus Salem Tutt Whitney and his brother, Homer Tutt, are busy writing material for different shows and talkies. These are two clever boys, also, when it comes to writing original stuff. They wrote the bit in Lew Leslie's "Black Birds," called "It," and it is a hit in the Bill Robinson record breaking attraction. No wonder the show is doing business. Bill Robertson is really a Broadway favorite. I could say a great deal more, but time and space prevents it. All I can say is the opportunity is here for the colored actor if he will only take interest and offer something new and worthwhile.

ROLAND HAYES IN CONCERT HERE Roland Hayes, world famous tenor, appeared in a benefit concert at the Belasco Theatre, Friday for Gerald Tyler, a former teacher in the Washington public schools and a composer of note, who has become physically incapacitated. Before an audience of more than 1500 persons which was equally divided between the races, Mr. Hayes rendered a program which ranged from operatic areas to simple spirituals. He was in excellent voice and contributed his services to the Gerald Tyler fund, which amounted to $1,600. The singer was particularly effective in a unique song written by Gerald Tyler from Paul Laurence Dunbar's poem. He was very generous with encores in response to the series of ovations which were accorded to him at the close of each group of songs. The audience was touched by the appearance of Gerald Tyler, who played a group of solos on the piano, using his left hand only in a masterly and efficient fashion. Mr. Edward Dickerson, a close friend of Mr. Tyler's, who lives in Oberlin, consented to act as trustee for the fund and Mrs. Milton Francis, who sponsored the concert, sent the $1,600 to Mr. Dickerson.

SPRINT CHAMPS TRAIL FORMER DUNBAR BOY Local Boy Shows Want To American Aces In Los Angeles Meet LOS ANGELES, Calif.—Charles Borah, the crack spinner of the University of Southern California, and Frank Wyhoff, of Glendale Junior College, two of the fastest dash men in America, went down to defeat behind the fleet feet of Nathaniel George, Whittier College star. His time was 9 4-5 seconds for the 100-yard dash. This was the feature race of the Southern Pacific A. A. U. track and field championships here today. George is a graduate of Dunbar high school in the class of 1926. This race it was generally believed, set a new world's record, as Borah and Wyhoff had equalled the recognized world record of 9 3-5 seconds three times in recent weeks. But George upset the dope and established a new record. One of the Whittier papers says of George: "Nat George is considered by many as the best spinner on the coast at present, barring no one, and it is with anticipation that they patiently wait until he can prove what he really is. "Probably his greatest victory this season to date was the winning of the A.A.U. open century in the coliseum early in the season, in the time of 9 4-5 seconds. He has yet to be defeated this year, having to date won seven one-hundreds in as many meets ranging in times from 9 4-5 seconds to 10 1-5 seconds. He ran consecutive Saturdays in less than 10 flat. He has also won the six 220's he has engaged in and the one-quarter, as well as being anchor man in the relay team that defeated the fast Oxy quartette. He is counted on for a double victory in the All-Conference Meet this year." Manager Webb Lee Asks Support of Southeast Fans Manager Webb Lee and his Togans, wish to make a public appeal to the fans of southeast and northeast Washington, askin gthe loyal support for the coming season. They hope to make a better showing than they did in to past season, and have made every possible effort to whip together a winning combination. In doing so they have signed such players as: Harry (Roxie) Jackson, John (Tramp) Norris, Sydney (Sy) Walters, with Kid Letty at first base and Taylor at second will form the inner works. They have also signed Mouse former pitcher of Southern Stars. Outfield consists of: Edward King and Cyprian Lucas, left field. William Johnson and Bob Johnson center field. Roland Thomas and Robert Jackson, right field. Utilities, Earnest Quarles, Carl Chase, Howard Wilkes, William Allen, Russell Banks, Ater Johnson and Alex Johnson. Pitching staff: S. Allen, W. Fleece, F. Medley, K. Mouse and K. Wise. Batteries for the opening game Sunday, May 5th S. Allen S. Taylor and Norris. They play the Hildale at Ivy City at 2 p.m. CUBS' STAR RETURNS A. L. Johnson, a former star on the Columbia Cubs' baseball team, has renewed his contract with that team. He is just back from school at Virginia Seminary, where he made an excellent record on the gridiron. Being an all-round athlete, he is well known to local sand-lot fans. He has been a mainstay to the Columbia Cubs for the last three seasons and his teammates are more than glad to have him back. EIGHT TRIBUNE LEAGUE OPENER SPOILED BY RAIN SUNDAY Local Nines on Edge Anxious To Get Under Way Because of the heavy rains in and around Washington, local teams were unable to inaugurate the opening of the Tribune League last Sunday, May 5. The opening date has therefore been postponed to Sunday, May 12. The rain spoiled the hopes of many sandlot fans who hoped that the League would get an early start this season. Schedule for May 12 On May 12, in Class A, the Arlington A.C., is listed against the Togas at Ivy City, and the Hilldales are to play the Potomac Giants on the Monument grounds on Diamond No. 8. In Class B, the Columbia Cubs are scheduled to play the Brookland A.C., at Brookland, and the Washington Pirates against the Anacostia A.C., in Anacostia. It was the aim of the managers, this season, to arrange the classes so as to get the best results. The classes are now well arranged, and any game scheduled is guaranteed to be a fine exhibition of good, clean baseball. Togans Appeal Manager Webb Lee and his Togans wish to make a special appeal to the sandlot fans of northeast and southeast, hoping they will give them the same hearty support that they have given in past seasons. They wish to assure their fans that, on account of the new material that they have this season, they will give to those fans who follow them the best exhibition for good, clean baseball that has ever been witnessed in sandlot circles. Y.M.C.A. Gym Busy Place The Commerce Clerks' volley ball team is working very smoothly. It will meet the "Y" Regulars in the "Y" gymnasium, Saturday night, May 4, at 8:30. An interesting game is assured. The business and professional men's class is working hard these days. It is planning to take a winning team to Baltimore.

The team won third place. Entering the contest practically unknown Tandy Etroud, the "Y" cross country star, ran a very good race. In sitting a fast pace he forced the course record to be broken.

VOLLEY BALL CONTEST FRIDAY The Business and Professional Men's Class is practicing hard for their first competitive contest Friday evening, May 10, at 5:30 p.m. They will show their wares in volleyball against the crack evening class of Government Clerks.

The "Y" has taken care of the needs of quite a few tennis aspirants in the past week. An effort is being made to secure outdoor tennis facilities for "Y" tennis enthusiasts. --- Washington Tribune Many Entries In As Field Day Nears; Expect Records To Be Smashed By James B. Clarke HAMPTON Institute, May 4. The eighth annual track and field meet, which will be held on Armstrong Field, May 11, has every indication of surprising all seven of the previous ones—that is taking into consideration the large entry list which has already reached the office of the registering clerk. The meet has reached such an enormous size in events and participating athletes that a number of events that require heats will be run off in the morning, at 10 a.m. clock. They are the 100 yd dash and 220 hurdles, high and low jump. Only the finals will be held in the afternoon. From Lincoln University, Missouri, there came an entry blank with the name of George Brown, a star field man whose speciality is the javelin and discus. Another long list came from Morgan College. Among the important high schools will be B. T. Washington High of Norfolk, Va., Huntington High of Newport News, Massasauga, Bordentown, Armstrong Hatch of Washington, and James City Co. Training School. Other high school entries are expected to arrive late Saturday afternoon. In the college group there will be Morgan College, Howard, Lincoln, Union, Lincoln University, Mo., Hampton, Va. State St. Paul, A. and T., W.Va. State and a few other of lesser importance. One of the most important events of the day will be when the collegiate mile relay is called. All of the teams have been working religiously to gain perfection in order that they might gain a leg on the beautiful Robert S. Abbott Trophy. Hampton and Lincoln won at the Penn Relays but in two separate sections. Hampton in the Normal School Championships of America, and Lincoln in a division of the collegiate mile relays. These two teams will match speed and cleverness Saturday. But such teams as the great speed teams of Howard University and Union University should not be forgotten. In the mile relay this year, points will be given and in addition, medals for second and third places. Points will count for four places. Lincoln Feared Coach Rainey and his charges from Chester Penn came down to the seventh annual meet and took practically everything back with them, and it seems from all indications that they are in a fair way of repeating the act. In the mile Coach Rainey has a quartet, in the quarter mile he has some of the best to be found with several leading, and in the high jump Sudnor is no slouch. Union University has an addition to its team in Bob Coles, whose reputation as a mile and two milies has put fear in many a stout heart who took the mark for the mile. He will perform, but remember Lincoln's quartet of milers. In Slim Booker, Union has a dash man and broad jumper who is liable to jump out of the pit. Baker Back Hampton under the able leadership of Captain Joe Baldwin is taking things calmly and working hard. The relay team set a record up at the Penn Relays. Dutz Baker, who performs so ably in the high jump and pole vault, is back after an absence of a year to reclaim lost honors. The team as a whole is making a creditable showing, so that they won't be in the cellar when it is all over. A new feature at the meet this year will be the new concrete grandstand which seats 1500 comfortably. This big stand will enable spectators to see everything that is going on without moving out of their seats. A participant's section is also set up for all contestants, in order that the field may be kept clear for action. As visitors and spectators are expected from all sections, appropriate entertainment has been planned so that the day will be filled with activity. Anacostia Juniors Take Game From Armstrong "Pop" McKenzie's fast Anacostia A. C. Juniors, added Armstrong High again to their list at Walker Stadium, last Friday, 4-1. "Pick" Garrison, clever junior short stop, led his team's cause with three hits in four attempts. He also made a spectacular catch in the 5th, when he quickly started a double play, checking a sure Tech rally. The hit, if passed would have been a double. Percy McKenzie pitched airtight ball in all innings, but the fourth, and would have scored a shut out had it not been for Elmer Maten, also of Anacostia, when he is not playing with Armstrong, who hanged a triple to deep center. knocking in Tech's only marker. McKenzie struck out four. The Juniors will engage the fast Cardozo 九 Friday, May 10, at the Monument. Bullet Ball Simpson is expected to get the mound assignment. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 POSTPONE HIGH RAIN KEEPS DEPT. SCHOOL SERIES LEAGUE ON RACK A woman washing clothes in a sink. Washington Gas Light Co., Washington Gas Light Co., GAS APPLIANCE HEADQUARTERS or Your Registered Plumber—Terms are available In order that eligible lists on the basis of the second advisory marks could be inspected by principals prior to the first game, the initial game of the series was postponed till Friday, May 10. Coaches are nervous because of the impending danger of loss of first string players. Coach Washington at Cardozo, and Coach Evans of Dunbar, had no statements to give relative to their prospective losses. But Coach Adams, at Armstrong, whose team has lost several games, owing to inability to hit, was much disturbed about the loss of Dale, his best bet with the bat. He had also counted upon Ed Henry, Lin Jackson, Ed Berry, and Norman Johnson, who failed to "clear the hurdles" of schelastic difficulties. Revised Schedule Armstrong vs. Cardozo, Friday, May 10.

HAMPTON DEFEATS HAMPTON Institute, May 4. In a return game with the St Paul nine the Blue and White nine of Hampton defeated this crack team in a game that was spotted with frequent outbursts of slugging on both sides. And equally as often were there outbursts of glaring errors that cost from one to three runs. Three homers were slammed out, by Hampton men, Country McGowan and Jess Murray, and one by Blunt St. Paul's catcher. Three pitchers were driven from the box by Hampton's array of heavy hitters, Igley being the first victim. Watson the second and Jetty the third. Among the leading batters for Hamilton were McGowan, who has just returned to the lineup, Jess Murray, third baseman, Daniels, second baseman and Gaines fielder. The outstanding hitters for St. Paul were Blunt, catcher, Murphy, second baseman and James, first baseman.

Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, has held with the principals, officers and teachers. Beginning with the principals and officers of the elementary schools last Thursday, he was with the Home Economic Department at Margaret Murray Washington Vocational School for Girls; Monday and Tuesday at Miner Normal, using the minds of the teachers here regarding the new faculty in the Teachers' College. At the meeting of principals and teachers of the elementary department, Thursday, he stressed the necessity of preparation. Stating that the Teachers' College would certainly raise the standard for admitting teachers into the District schools, and therefore all the teachers may expect to step up in academic and professional status. The Teachers' College will have an extension course and teachers who have only had one and two year normal course would have the opportunity to improve on that at right, Saturdays and during vacation periods. The Board of Education may not sue orders to teachers to take he extension course, but the fact that it will be established will be an invitation for a response to the natural urge that should react to At the vocational school Mr. Wilkinson stressed the injection of the personal influence into the students and said that the department should render a real service in the home; that we should see the interior as well as the exterior of the home improved by the students if this school; that yards, sanitation, personal attire and civic life should be affected in the life of every student of this school. Of that service is the well made read alone, if the personal cleanness and attire of the breadmaker has not been improved, along with the surroundings of the kitchen as well as the other rooms of the home? the office of Chas. D. Sager announces the acquisition of six and half acres of ground adjoining Kingman Park on the west. This lease was made necessary by rapid sale of homes in the final Kingman Park Development, and it was deemed necessary purchase this additional area further development. Mr. r has ceded ground to the Disf for new streets and plans being made for the immediate ing of additional homes of proved design. Kingman Park is located at twenty-fourth street and Benningsoad, northeast. Since the beginning of this community, about one hundred homes have been built and sold. It is adjacent to the macostia Parkway, which is now in the process of development by he Government. The first house in Kingman Park was sold April 19, 1928, about the year ago. Since that time the comes in this development have been bought and mostly occupied, hout as fast as they could be built. Kingman Park is now a driving community which is rapidly approaching the ideal in home-life communities. The homes are designed for the average small family, and are built of all brick, having all modern improvements. They offer the conveniences of hot water heat, electric lights, hardwood floors, three large porches, and full daylight cellars with laundry trays. The back yards are long and the front yards are beautifully landscaped. Of much interest to Kingman Park residents was the recent condenation of the ground on the north side of Bennings road, making this thoroughfare one of the main highways leading into the District. Also much progress has been made on the grading of low areas and the dredging of Lake Kingman, in pushing forward the development of Anacostia Parkway, which will doubtless lend beauty to and enhance the values of Kingman Park properties.

In a three-act performance, songs for unchanged voices and vivid pictures of German home life have been arranged from Humperdinck's setting of the immortal fairy tale of the same name into a song-play. The various departments of the school have carefully worked out plans to make this operetta most unusual and enjoyable.

PORTERS TO GET WAGE INCREASE NEW YORK—Recognizing that it is impossible to avoid dealing with the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, since it received a charter in the American Federation of Labor, the Pullman Company is planning to grant a wage increase to the porters and maids through a Company Union Wage Conference, for which it has just finished conducting elections, says A. Philip Randolph, president and general organizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.

National Benefit Reports Increased Totals for 1928 In its annual report, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, whose home office is located here, shows substantial increase in every department. The National Benefit, by reason of its large business, increased assets and insurance in force is truly the leader in its line. The 1928 report marks the closing of its thirtieth year in business. Just thirty years ago Samuel Wilson Rutherford started what has developed into the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. It was a one-man business then, where now it employs nearly 2,000 people in the home office and on the field. The features that are outstanding which enter into the making of this company the leader are these: It has the largest personnel and agency force; it leads in insurance in force, $75,882,994; it is doing business in 28 states, with 82 branch offices; it leads in real estate owned, $1,125,884.05; its cash of $396,508.11 is the largest amount reported by any company; it issued 181,614 new policies last year for $39,269,022 of insurance; its premium income of $3,502,955.63 along with $280,405.20 in interests and rents gives a total income of $3,783,360.85 for 1928; it paid claims of $1,134,475.08 for 1928, which makes it a leader in distribution of claims and endowment to policyholders; its legal reserve of $4,841,605.19 is the largest ever attained by an insurance company among Negroes, as well as its assets of $6,109,866.09. The past year was the banner one for the National Benefit and as insurance is the leading business among Negroes, the National Benefit is at the head of the class. It should have an hundred million in insurance by the close of the present year, and its reserve should pass the five million mark by the end of the year. NEW JERSEY TEACHERS TO MEET BORDENTOWN, N.

The police of W home of citizens. They enter and family without cause. Inhuman beatings of suspects for instructions or orders to ease The Uncrow By J. Q. Superintendent of Police Pratt has asked the Bureau of the Budget for an appropriation for a school of instructions for police. This is a commendable plan and should produce results. In his request Major Pratt states: "Men who propose to engage in the simplest of professions and trades are not permitted to embark upon their careers without a period of adequate training, and yet it has been the custom in the past in this department to equip a green man with a badge of authority and the lethal weapons of his calling and send him out without adequate training to engage in the most delicate task that can be committed to a human being; namely, attempting to regulate the conduct of other human beings. "It is the purpose of the department to assign new men to the school of instruction for 60 days where they will be thoroughly grounded in the fundamentals of government, constitutional rights of citizens, limitations on their own authority and power and the multiplicity of laws and regulations they are required to enforce." As a part of the course anticipated for the school of instructions we would suggest the Major to incorporate "humane treatment" and the sanctity of the home, and impartial treatment to all. "Green men," as the Major says, are equipped with a badge of authority and the lethal weapon and many of them far exceed their "authority" and enter the homes of citizens without warrant or reason and commit misdemeanors and even crime and seldom, if ever, anything is done about it. The police of Washington have little regard for the home of citizens. They enter and search and abuse members of the family without cause. Inhuman beatings of suspects in police stations should come in for instructions or orders to ease up on this archaic practice. The Uncrowned Queen By J. Q. Adams There are times in the life of every individual when his memory recalls the scenes of his childhood; when he sees again, with his mind's eye a picture of the home in which he was born, and all of its immediate surroundings. It matters not whether that home was urban or rural, an humble cottage or a stately mansion, a cabin or a palace. In your imagination, you sit once more around the fireside with your loved ones and listen again to the tales which you once delighted to hear. You vividly recall the little tokens of love received from he hand of a kindly brother or an affectionate sister. You indulge in all the pleasantries which once made your youthful life seem one grand, sweet song. from We grave but not gree more wers wi It no be worth vidual that The should their nothing gray grave ying ness m Enters the Queen There rises before you a picture of a kind and indulgent father, trudging homeward at the close of day, seriously contemplating the responsibilities of life, with his body tired and wearied by arduous labor, and his careworn brow bathed in sweat by honest toil. But there looms high above all of these an image that will not down. It is the image of a lovely queen; not one that ruled her subjects with a rod of iron; not one upon whose head rested a royal diadem; not one from whose presence stately courtiers went forth to do her biddings, but a queen whose dominion was the home, whose sceptr. was love, and whose subjects were the members of her household; a queen whose greatest pleasure was to minister to the needs of her family. She thought it not robery to condescend to be the servant of all. When we consider her sacrifices and toils, the watchfulness and care which she exercised over us during the years of our infancy, and childhood, it seems fitting that a day was set apart that we may reflect upon her goodness and her virtues. It was, indeed, a pertinent suggestion that gave rise to the observance of "Mother's Day" in a month of sunshine, charm and joyness, so that Nature herself may share in the coronation. Her Day On this memorable day, let the choirs in all our churches chant songs of praise of mothers, while the great organs thunder forth with scrende; let the carillons of the nation catch up the sweet strains, and the winds walt them TWELVE The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BUREAU PUBLISHING COMPANY 920 U Street, N.W.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles from shore to shore. We place wreathes upon the graves of our heroes of war who died in defense of their country, but no one has shown a higher degree of patriotism nor contributed more to her glory than the mothers who gave their sons. It has been said that there is no better indication of the real worth and character of an individual than the love and attention that he bestows upon his mother. Those whose mothers still live, should congratulate themselves on their good fortune. They should do nothing that shall bring down her gray hairs with sorrow to the grave, but so live that her declining years shall be full of happiness and joy. Those of us whose mothers have passed into the Great Beyond, have the consoling thought that we may ever laud her virtues, cherish her memory, and emulate her shining example. Happy Reflections Happy Reflections If it were in my power, I would search until I found a vale of unrivalled scenic beauty, away from the noise, din, and bustle of the city; a place where one would indulge in only pleasant thoughts and happy reflections. I would erect thereon a colossal marble statue as high as the Rocky Mountains; a statue with its visage wreathed in smiles and radiant with ineffable splendor. I would place upon its head a crown of gold that would reflect the light of the moon by night and the golden rays of the sun by day. I would adorn it with sparkling gems from the diamond mines of Africa. I would summon a Michelangelo to carve upon the broad pedestal miniature images of the famous mothers of history. I would have him circumscribe each character with the words: Love, Sympathy, Patience and Kindness. I would embellish the approaches with perennial fountains whose bubbling waters could emit the colors of the rainbow. I would surround it by a garden of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers that bloom and blossom under the tropical sum. I would transport sweet-singing birds of the most gorgeous plumage to encircle it each day and warble a song of praise.

One of the few accomplishments of which Capital residents can boast is passing examinations. There are very few people here, who have earned a livelihood within the walls of this ancient city, who have not passed a dozen or so examinations of some sort or other during a lifetime. Examinations are some kind of mental tests that some enterprising young imbecile persuaded the government to install to find out how intelligent its employees are. To get some idea of just how far wrong the assumption that examination passes are intelligent all you have to do is to look over the hosts of immigrants who were inducted into our unsuspecting midst because they passed an examination in some remote section of the country and got themselves safely lodged in a government position before Uncle Sam got a chance to look them over. The reason why Washingtonians are going to wiggle into paradise ahead of everybody else should St. Peter follow my suggestion and send out blanks to prospective bucket kickers, is because Washingtonians have to pass examinations to live ever so moderately. Regardless of whether you want a position as chief clerk, school teacher or merely brushing up the streets after impolite and uncultured horses, you must take an examination. If you want a job carrying out wastebaskets for a Senator who uses it for a cuspider, you don't just walk in and apply for the job. Oh, no! In order to carry out wastebaskets in Washington you must have a knowledge of arithmetic, history and answer off-hand a few general questions like, who was the great uncle of Napoleon Bonaparte, when, where, and why was he born, if at all, etc. This gives you what is known as a Civil Service rating, and the person who gets the highest rating carries the wastebaskets—if he also has political pull. Of course if you flunk out, you not only fail to get a job, but they also send your name over to the census bureau where one more name is added to the illiteracy list, and you have to keep moving from house to house to keep the sanitary inspectors from catching you and committing you to St. Elizabeth's for mental observation. Contrary to general belief, the examiners are not all men of great learning. It has been proven by statistics gathered by competent people who passed examinations for statistics gatherers, that the people who grade the papers do not know what they are. One grade the papers do not know one-half of the answers themselves. The way they do is this: They take a given number of examination papers and separate them in piles according to the different answers to certain questions, and they take the largest pile as the correct answer. By this method, if a dumb man is lucky enough to take an examination in a group in which the majority are dumb, he gets a higher rating than a smart man. After you pass the examination you are practically on the job. You can start right out spending your money, because all you have to do then is get the influence of a dozen or so Congressmen, half the Senate, and have President Hoover and King George endorse you, and you can get an appointment. Of course it's mighty tough to have to take a course in liberal arts in order to drive a truck in the Salvage Department, but such is the case before one may secure a government "position." Examinations indirectly regulate social standing in the village along the Potomac. Many of our best regulated families and oldest inhabitants are the direct descendants of a long line of examination passers. Old Washington lore is resplendent with stirring accounts of early settlers who defended their names on the field of honor when accused of cribbing in a Civil Service examination. Scions of our leading families point with pride to the fact that there is not one zero rating in their family tree. Early in the pioneer days feeling was much more intense than it is today. Historians reveal that at an early date living in Washington was so uncomfortable that the flunkers moved southward, driven hither and yon by war, and privation, and settled in the remoter sections of Georgia and Alabama. There they waxed so bitter because of their failure that they sullenly refused to open a book again. This probably accounts for the high degree of illiteracy found in these states today. Others who made a low rating stuck around the edges settling in northeast and southwest, and as close as Alexandraria, Va., where their great, great grandchildren are still awaiting notification of their appointment. Occasionally a descendant of this hanger-on group displays initiative and lands a job in the Bureau of Engraving and Printing or the Navy Yard, where they obtain a meager existence until discovered. Washington is a colorful town where you have to possess brains to get a job and the only jobs open to gentlemen of color are those where brains aren't needed. Yours for bigger and better examinations. YOUNGER LKS' REALM THE YO FOLKS THE YOUNGER FOLKS'REALM C. LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2.

TO MOTHER Dear Mother: If I could just tell you, mother, how much I love you, I would be the happiest soul in the world, if I could just express myself in some few and simple words. As I sit in my class-rooms I think of, and am glad that God did make such a wonderful gift as a "Mother." Two of the greatest gifts on earth are God and mother. God has such a mind as to puzzle out and make such wonderful things as mothers. I wish I could repay mother for what she has done, but the wish is all in vain because no one can ever repay what a mother does. But there are three things that you can do to let her know how much you appreciate her; and they are, have manners, be obedient and above all do not tell lies, because a person who lies is very likely to steal, and I know no mother would want her son or daughter to be a thief. What name's as sweet as "mother"? Could there ever be another— Father, sister, or a brother (All are very near and dear) But none to me like "mother." If I could tell you, mother dear JUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 10, 1929 Tribune How much I think of you I know you neer would shed a tear, For anything I'd do. Frances Murphy 628 S St., N.W. POE (Writers light, may MOTHER'S LOVE Sweet as the dew that falls at night; Sweet as the sunshine—heaven's light; Sweet as the scent of roses fair; Sweet as the breath of a summer-night's air; Sweet as the blossoms from a lilac bush; Sweet as the grass in the night's quiet bush; Sweet as the nectar from the flowers bright; Sweet and lovely with a magic might Is mother's love. Sent from a glorious world above, Tender and kind is her heart so pure MOTHER'S HEART Napoleon's heart was one of might. And greatest great odds it stood Washington's and Lincoln's were for the right. But of them all 'Mother's Heart' is the greatest. Now hard hearted man may cast you down, And laugh at you when you try to do your best. Sneer and joke, and call you a clown. But "Mother's Heart" always vanquishes that pest. A murderer is sent to the electric chair; He sits, is shocked, he dies. His mother at home pulls out her hair, Her eyes sore and red from her cries. Her heart goes with him to his death, And stays until he utters his last long breath: Then travels with him into the great beyond, And mournfully wails, "My poor, poor son." So remember before from home you start. To do nothing to hurt your mother's heart. And when you succeed and are praised by loud voices, Remember that at home your "Mother's Heart" too rejoices. R. E. Haskins, Jr. SOME GOOD BOOKS "MARTHA JANE — SOPHOMORE. By Inez Specking, 12no St. Louis, Mo.; B. Herder Book Co $1.50. A story for girls. FIELD DAY PROGRAM AT CARNET-PATTERSON SCHOOL On Tuesday evening, May 7, the principals, teachers and pupils of the Carmet-Patterson Junior High School were hosts to the parents and friends at a reception and garden party on the school playground. The features of this event consisted of a May procession and the crowning of the May Queen. The girls entertained the queen with exercises, drills, games, folk dances, and the winding of the May-pole. The physical education demonstration is under the direction of Miss Lucille Redmond. Little Miss Mathilde Smith was chosen Queen of the May. Her ladies in waiting were: Irene Butler, Dorothy Dade, Bernice Jones, Gerrildine Walker, Jessie Leonard, Marian Hudnell, Angela Williams, Blanche Taylor, Lucille Walker. The music on this occasion was furnished by the Ninth Brigade High School Cadet Band. WHAT'S WRONG AT LINCOLN? To the Editor: When the upper-classmen of one of our leading universities exhibit what seems to be an "inferiority complex," it is certainly high time to be aroused. By a count of almost two to one, the upper-classmen at Lincoln recently voted against a mixed faculty. This action not only was regrettable, but was a convincing bit of evidence that "The Negro Deserts His People." It indicates that something is radically wrong at Lincoln, the correcting of which should concern every thinking Negro. These students made the startling revelation that they have no confidence in Negro teachers. The flimsy and absurd reasons given for their choice must have grown out of their environment, which to say the least, is an unhealthy one if it develops an "inferiority complex." The keystone of our modern structure of civilization is confidence, the mortar that holds the parts together is co-operation, and the structure is respect. Therefore a school that does not develop a spirit of confidence, cooperation and respect for the students' own people must ultimately send out its graduates unprepared to solve the intricate problems of life.
