Tenn.—Joe Boxley, 18-year-old youth, was lynched here by a mob of one hundred, early Wednesday morning. He was taken from the jail about 4 o'clock in the morning and strung to a tree about four miles from the town. Boxley was accused of attacking the wife of a magistrate of Crackett county. After being arrested in Gibson county, Boxley was carried to the jail in Trenton. He was spirited away, after a mob had surrounded the jail there, and brought to Alamac. Sheriffs Tries to Out-talk Mob Sheriff Carl Emison said that he tried to talk the mob into leaving Boxley alone, but to no effect. I tried to out-talk them," said the Sheriff, "and to hold them off until I could get the jail keys hidden." The keys were hidden under the divan of the Sheriff's home, but the leaders of the crowd apparently found them without too much trouble. Boxley was taken from his cell, a rope placed about his neck and marched to his death. It is reported that the only evidence of Boxley's guilt was the muttering of the semi-conscious woman of something which sounded like "Joe." Boxley did not confess. No members of the mob have yet been apprehended. Love Leads To Suicide Leaving a note to the effect that a love affair and family difficulties were responsible for his act, Arthur A. Jones, 40 years of age, a roomer at 2351 Champlain street, committed suicide by inhaling gas. When the body was found, life was extinct, although the rescue squad and Dr. Walter Gladding, a member of the staff of Emergency Hospital, attempted to revive him, Coroner J. Ramsey Nevitt passed upon the death as a case of suicide. "Clothes Unnecessary," Said "Heavenly Voice" Hearkening to a voice, allegedly divine, Eugene Jerome announced to his friends in the Y.M.C.A. dormitory, where he resided, that he would travel without clothes henceforth, or at least until he was clothed with the heavenly raiment promised him.

The youths are Rudolph Austin, 18, and James Bullock, 19. They were arrested on the day of the drill and a number of the duplicate tickets confiscated. In police court last Saturday morning, Attorney John H. Wilson entered a plea of guilty for them to charges of fraud and false pretences. The case was referred to the probation officer for investigation. Detection of a slightly paler ticket than the light blue tickets which were being used by the school officials led to the discovery of the counterfeiting. F. E. Parks, principal of the Phelps Vocational School, made the discovery. A boy caught selling tickets was questioned. He told Officer William B. Piper that he had got DePriest To Make Memorial Address in Memphis Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Chicago, left the city Wednesday for Memphis, where he made the memorial address, Thursday, under the auspices of the Prospect Baptist Church, of which Rev.

Reverend Vernon Johns Commencement Speaker The National Training School for Women and Girls will begin the exercises of the Commencement Week with the Bacccalaureate sermon by Rev. Vernon Johns, of New York City, Sunday, June 2, at 3:30 p.m. Rev. Johns is a most brilliant speaker. In 1927, a committee that selects ten of the greatest sermons of the year selected one delivered by Rev. Johns. It was the first sermon preached by a Negro that the committee has ever selected. Rev. Johns is now employed by the Church Council of New York as a preacher of Brotherhood to the white churches of greater New York. CAPTAIN OF WI BESEIGED AFTER Veritably beseiged in his home, Captain John Davis, of the High School Cadets, and leader of the winning company in the competitive drill which took place last Thursday, was forced to forego many of the social fruits of his well deserved victory at the Griffith Stadium. A mob of boys, many in uniform, surrounded his home at 933 S street, northwest, and threatened him with bodily injury if he ventured out. This seige of Captain Davis was the culmination of several minor disturbances around the ball park immediately after the drill. Mrs. Davis, the mother of the captain, fearing for him, refused to allow him to go to any of the festivities of the night. Report Exaggerated First Assistant Superintendent of Schools Garnet C.

The officer went there, arrested Austin and recovered nearly 200 of the duplicate tickets. Bullock was arrested later in the afternoon. It is estimated that the boys sold approximately 900 of the fake tickets. They had a total of 1,500 printed. The price of the fake tickets was 25 cents each. Bullock is a student of the Armstrong High School. Police say that Austin has a police court record. The probation officer decided, on Wednesday, that if the boys will pay for the tickets received sit the gates, Thursday, he would recommend lenency. Otherwise they will be returned to the court. The process of separating the tickets is going on. There is a slight shade of difference in the color of the stock used and also of the font of type used in the numbers in "May 22, 1929."

WINNING COMPANY CED AT HOME ATER DRILL home, the High of the competi- last forego of his Griff- boys. Cardozo high schools, said that the reports concerning Captain Davis were grossly exaggerated. He stated that the school officials insist upon students being instructed by principals and teachers every year "not only to conduct themselves property but to display true sportsmanship in connection with the decision. The real test of discipline," he said, "comes when that decision is made, not only for the cadets but for the children in the respective schools and the patrons of the different schools. It is an educational opportunity to put over a program in self-control, in discipline and in true sportsmanship. "The thirty-seventh annual competitive drill was one of the best controlled ever had, not only on the part of the cadets at the critical moment when the decision was rendered, but also on the part of spectators."

PEOPLES DRUGSTORES ```markdown ``` KNOXVILLE HAS $700,000 FUND FOR ENDOWMENT KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Knoxville College announces at the annual Commencement Exercises this year the completion of the campaign for a half million dollar endowment and the additional bequest of $150,000 just received from the Arbuckle estate which will raise the total permanent endowment fund to $700,000. The gift of $150,000 from the Arbuckle estate comes as Knoxville's share of a million dollar bequest to United Presbyterian colleges. It is the largest gift ever made by an individual to the educational institutions of the denomination and is divided equally among six colleges. Miss Christina Arbuckle, the donor, was one of the well known family of Arbuckles of Pittsburgh that made a great fortune in coffee. She died February 2, 1927, but the estate was only recently settled because of legal difficulties. With the completion of the half million dollar campaign which was first started in 1920 Knoville College receives from the General Education Board $125,000, the stipulation being that the school raise $375,000. This amount has been more than raised.

Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor, who is the spokesman for the head of the order, declared, Tuesday, that a statement of Sheridan A. Bruseaux, of Chicago detective, charging that Mr. Wilson exacted in salary and honorariums a total of $20,000 a year, was issued for partizan purposes. Mr. Howard directed attention to the fact that nothing was said concerning the salary and expense accounts of George E. Bates, former grand secretary. Mr. Bates is seeking a return to the office for which he was defeated in the annual grand lodge meeting in Chicago last year by James E. Kelly, of Birmingham. He is said to be running on the ticket with Casper Hulstein, of New York, who is a candidate for grand exalted ruler. Second Answers This is the second time that the Wilson forces through Mr. Howard has answered charges made by the opposing faction. It indicates a determination not to permit the Holstein group to carry on a campaign against Mr. Wilson without resistance. Mr. Howard has been chosen as the official spokesman for Grand Exalted Ruler Wilson. His statement is as follows: "It seems that Mr. Bruseaux overlooked the fact that the grand exalted ruler by the laws of the order is allowed two clerks instead of one, which accounts for a part or alleged irregularities. "There are a number of items, such as the printing of proclamations, etc., that are included in the expense account of the grand exalted ruler, which makes it appear that he has exceeded his budget." $25 For Clerk "As conclusive proof that the alleged investigation is for the purpose of propaganda and not for the good of the order mention was made of an item of $25 paid to Mr. Francis E. Rivers, an attorney of New York, for services which it is claimed I should have rendered. The truth is Mr. Rivers did not get a penny of this money, but it was sent to him to pay to the clerk of the Court of General Sessions of New York for certified copies of the record in the proceedings to dissolve the injunction in New York State. These copies were sent to Memphis, Tennessee, when we were fighting an injunction of the white Elks there. "It is indeed strange that all of this noise is made about the expense account of the grand exalted ruler, who gives all of his time to the services of the order, but nothing was said about the expense accounts of the expense accounts of counts of former secretary Bates. To Bankers Confirmation was made Wednesday, at the luncheon of the Associated Business Club, at the Whitehawk Hotel, that the National Negro Bankers' Association will hold its annual session here September 18 and 19, with the A.B.C. as host. Thomas H. R. H. Clark presented the offer of The Fair Department Store on Seventh street, northwest, to sell to a colored corporation and mann the place with colored c/oployees. A tentative constitution and by-laws were read and referred to the meeting on June 26 for adoption. An increased number were present, and it is possible that Washington will have a live business men's organization. Dr. John R. Hawkins, the temporary chairman, was absent, and S. W. Rutherford, secretary-treasurer of the National Benefit Life served as chairman. Those present were, Jesse Mitchell, T. J. Calloway, Geo E. Cobron, A. T. Burrell, Col. West Hamilton, J. M. Goins, J. A. Jackson, T. H. R. Clark, Charles Flagg, Whitefield McKinlay, J. W. Lewis, J. H. Green, W. H. C. Brown, John R. Pinckett, R. L. Evans, R. W. Thornton, Wm. Stevenson, W. A. Joiner, Charles H.

Evarts Hall of the law school on Thursday evening, June 6. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, university president, will welcome the law alumni. Chief Justice Fenton W. Booth, of the United States Court of Claims, who is the dean of the law school, will also speak. Judge James A. Cobb, president of the association, will preside. who is running on the ticket with Mr. Holstein. His accounts in most instances were not only equal to but in excess of those of the grand exalted ruler, and Mr. Bates while grand secretary gave his attention to the office only in the evenings after he had finished a day's work in New York City. Mentions Bates "Nothing is said of the fact that Mr. Bates charged the grand lodge for his personal entertainment of the grand lodge auditors while they were in Newark auditing his books. "The grand exalted ruler for seven years has fought against excessive printing charges, and in no instance can it be shown that there was a single irregularity on his part in the matter of printing or otherwise. "Let me say that there is absolutely nothing wrong except that there are some people on the outside wanting positions. They would find fault with the immaculate Savior if he were holding a place which they desired." JERNAGIN RESIGNS AS EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE HEAD Continued Illness Given As Reason for Action To Be Effective In Sixty Days The Rev. Dr. W. H.

There are scores of our best physicians and thousands of self-respecting people who refuse to pay for segregation—who feel the urge of encouraging upstanding manhood and womanhood—who appreciate fair and honest dealing and that friendly, personal interest that is not wholly commercial.

TOLAN BREAKS HUNDRED YARD RECORD Bespectacled Streak Becomes "Fastest Human" As the Century is Negotiated in 9.5 Seconds EVANSTON, III.—“The king is dead; long live the king.” A new “fastest human” ascends the throne whereon none but the swift may sit. Eddie Tolan, of the University of Michigan, spectacles all, ran the 100-yard dash in 9.5 seconds at the Western Conference outdoor track and field meet held Saturday at Dyche Stadium, Northwestern University. Tolan in breaking the record defeated George Simpson, noted Ohio State star, by a hair's breath. Simpson, himself tying the world's record. Eddie Tolan was one time interscholastic champion in the 100-yard and the 200-yard dashes. He is a sophomore at the University of Michigan. He came from behind in the last twenty yards of the dash, raced shoulder to shoulder with George Simpson for a few yards and then gradually drew away breaking the tape a split second ahead of Simpson. The record of Tolan beats the recognized record of 9.6 held jointly by Howard Drew, another famous colored spinner, Charley Paddock, Cyril Coafee, Dan Kelly and Chester Bowman. VETERANS BUREAU DEFEATS NAVY Braggs for the first time received excellent support and by clever pitching in pinches enabled Veterans Bureau to defeat the hard hitting Navy Yard, 3-2. Jackson and Morris starred afield, while Pleasant led at bat. Nine gunners fanned the air trying to connect with Braggs' benders. Pleasant battled with Braggs, but committed the costly balk, causing a run, which later proved the margin of victory.

Hundred and Fifty Turtles Enter Derby The first annual terrapin derby of the senior and junior high schools was held on last Wednesday at the Walker Stadium. Two contests were held, one for the box turtles and one for the other varieties. The races were won by Garnet Patterson and Shaw Junior High Schools, respectively. Nearly 150 turtles were entered. The contest, sponsored by the biology departments of the schools, was one of the most interesting events of the week. Circles about twenty-five feet in diameter were marked off. The terrapins were started from the center and allowed to run in any direction. After a few preliminary heats, the Garnet-Patterson entry, a box turtle, was adjudged winner. Soon after, the heats of the other race were started. The Shaw Junior High School entry was victor in this race. The contest promises to become an annual feature because of the great amount of interest shown and the large number of entries. TOOTS BROWN DRIVEN TO SHOWERS By launching a heavy attack on Slade, including homers by Bradrick and Dandridges enabled G.P.O. to pull up on even terms with the Aggies, ending in a tie, 8-8. Williams' fielding was sensational, but slipped at the critical moment, allowing a drive to get past for a homer. After driving "Toots" Brown to the showers in the fourth, "Puffy" Richardson and Slade engaged in duel, both weakening in the later innings. Grant led at bat with three hits.

The Hillsdales were the topic of much scandal last week just because they lost their first game to the Potomac Giants. But, Sunday, they staged a real comeback by defeating both the Togans, a strong team from Northeast and Southeast, Washington, and their cause for so much scandal, the strong Potomac Giants nine. The First Game The first game was with the Togan nine with the batteries for Hillsdale, M. Levi and B. Black; for the Togans, Hawkins and Taylor. The Hillsdales did not have the game well in hand until the eighth inning, when three runs were scored. The Togans scored three runs due to the errors of some of the Hillsdale men. The Second Game The Potomac Giants started the game with the man who caused the Hillsdales so much trouble, "Bug" Moten, their famous slow-ball pitcher. The Hillsdales were prepared for him this time, and succeeded in knocking him from the box in the sixth. This last game succeeded in putting the Hillsdales back in the good favor of many sandlot fans. STANDING W. L. Pct. Agriculture 4 1 .300 Navy Yard 4 3 .571 Veterans Bureau 3 3 .500 G. P.

Jrs., and the Spartans, the Anacostians handed their foes their first licking of the season by an 8 to 5 count. The game looked like a sure licking for the riverside crew until the last inning of play, when the champs caught on to "Salty" Johnson for four runs before there was one out. Owing to the umpire's decision on a play at home, of which the Spartans didn't like, they walked off the field as Lonny McKenzie stole home with the winning run. The umpire, Y. Roy, then declared the game an Anacostia victory by an 8 to 5 score in preference to a forfeit of 9 to 0. --- SPEAKING OF SPORTS (Editor's Note—This column is conducted by E. B. Henderson, director of Physical Education in the Washington High School.) "In recognition of his athletis ability in recently winning the national championship in the 100 yard dash in the Coliseum, Los Angeles, the Lincoln Theatre gave a "Nat George" matinee Saturday afternoon, and the Lafayette Players, filling an engagement at the Lincoln Theatre presented him with a handsome loving cup. "Mayor Albert N. Chamness, who is also treasurer of Whittier College, and Prof. A. M. Brown, freshman athletic coach, and a number of other college friends of Mr. George, attended the matinee and witnessed the ovation accorded." "Mayor Chamness paid tribute to Mr. George in a short speech and spoke of the athletic recognition his achievement had brought the local college." The above quotation from the "Quaker Campus," Whittier College, California, school paper illustrates well the possibility of success of the good track athlete and good student in white colleges SHAW DEFEATS A. & T. COLLEGE By "Navy" Armstrong By "Navy" Armatrong RALEIGH, N.C. — The Shaw University Bears won the right to claim the N.C.A.U. championship by defeating A. & T. College here last Tuesday by the tune of 6-4. It was Powers' slow curve ball that spelled defeat for the hard hitting. Aggie aggregation. Although, the visitors collected a total of twelve hits. Powers was able to kee pthem well scattered. He worked out several nice holes by retiring the side by the way of strike-outs with men on the path. The Bears staged a brilliant rally in the second inning to score six runs and to safely tuck the game away. Brown, A. & T.'s diminutive caether, was unable to stand up under the strain in the second and allowed three runners to stop pass him at the plate, and aided Shaw greatly in chalking the win. Pollard was the outstanding player for the visitors, he secured four safe blows out of five trips to the plate, and handled seven chances afield without an error. Balwin, Shaw's versatile left fielder, furnished the fielding tid-bits of the afternoon, when he ran into the left field fence in the third inning to snaag Pollard's drive. Armstrong, Moore, and Black, three of Shaw's outstanding athletes, sang their swan song in today's game. Moore will leave the institution the latter part of next week for Iowa, where he will play semi-pall ball this summer. BLACK SOX DROP DOUBLE HEADER x by strong bouthause strong To for black; Tay have the runs sored s of The Washington Black Sox lost both games of the double header here Sunday with the Cuban Red Sox, the first by the score of 9-2 and the second by the score of 6-3. The local team played gamely, but were clearly outplayed by the visitors. In the first game the Black Sox tied the score in the sixth frame, but an orgy of hitting on the part of the Cubans left them far behind at the end of the game. In only one inning of the two games were the Black Sox ahead. The local team scored three runs to the Cuban's two runs in the first inning of the second game, but could not maintain the lead. The box score follows: ANACOSTIA JUNIORS JOURNEY TO ALEXANDRIA d as with Y. e. to 5 it of The Anacostia A. C.

MAY 31. 1929 of the land. Such a boy, possessing the characteristics of Nat George, as we know him, would be a hard boy to discourage at West Point or Annapolis. His start in athletics is due to the possibilities afforded in track meets at Hampton and Howard yearly and the good coaching and encouragement he received at the hands of Charlie Pinderhughes at Dunbar High School of Washington, D.C. It is the writer's belief that Eddie Tolan of Detroit, Nat George Myers, Kid Chocolate, and a host of others can do more to soften prejudices of white men and women of average intelligence, who make up the masses of the population, than tons of literature or art productions that merely match what hundreds of other white specialists can do. Track athletics, which afford the greatest opportunity in the sport world today, and other contests with white men have a civilizing influence on traditional barbaric prejudices. George and his performances are simply additional arguments with which to impress our educators and race leaders as to the value of these hitherto despised elements in the making of American citizens. TRIBUNE LEAGUE NOTES Last Sunday, the Hillsdales staged a real comeback. They were scheduled for a double header in Ivy City against the Togans and the Potomac Giants. "Bus" Moten, the Potomac Giants' All-Star slowball pitcher, failed to fool the hard hitting Hillsdales in the return game. It was the hard hitting of Haywood, White, Johnson, Williams, and Butler that caused the score to be 17 to 0, in favor of the Hillsdales. Brookland forfeited their game to Arlington A.C., by failure of showing up on the diamond. Schedule for Next Week Next Sunday, June 2, the Washington Pirates are scheduled for a double header against two very hard teams, the Hillsdale nine and the Potomac Giants. The Pirates vs. Hillsdales game is to start at 1 o'clock, and is to be played at the Monument grounds on Diamond No. 8. The other games are, Togans vs. Arlington in South Washington, Va., and Columbia Cubs vs. Brookland in Brookland. The latter games are to start at 2 o'clock. League Standing W. L. Pet. Wash.

Representative Oscar DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, who is sponsoring a benefit in the interest of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, announced at a conference which he had called at the Phyllis Wheatley Young Women's Christian Association last Monday night that he had secured the Washington Auditorium for the evening of June 21. This occasion will be the first time that colored people have been permitted the use of the auditorium. The policy of its directors has been that it should not be used by colored persons for any purpose. The Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World sought its use two years ago for its national oratorical contest. Tentative plans proposed at the conference call for a program of two hours to be followed by dancing. The proceeds will go toward the local chapter's quota of the $200,000 fund being raised by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Various committees appointed by Mr. DePriest are at work.

Valet We Call For BEST FURS REMODEL 251 FLORIDA --- K At the meeting of the Federated Civic Associations, Friday night, the question of school administration, operation of the police trial board, and the economic situation of the Negro in the District and the admission for membership into the association of an association within the territory of an affiliated association. The four successive winnings of a Dunbar Company in the competitive drill, precipitated heated discussion and was referred to the Committee on Education, of which W. H. Lewis is the chairman. The organization and personnel of the police trial board and its activities as compared with Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Chicago was presented in a report by E. F. Harris, which was adopted and ordered presented to the District Commissioners, through members of the Advisory Council. W. H. Lewis, chairman of the Educational Committee, reported on the inspection of the new Garden-Patterson Junior High School, Tenth and U streets, northwest. He criticized the size of classrooms and said they were too small to furnish proper air supply for the students. A report from C. M. Thomas on improved employment conditions was read. BODY OF BOY FOUND IN RIVER The nude body of a boy of about ten years of age was found floating in the river near the Navy Yard, Wednesday, by employees working on a tug. It is thought that the child had been in the water two or three days. Last Sunday the clothes of a boy were found at the north end of Anacostia Bridge, and a Mrs. Magruder, of 905 Third street, southeast, identified them as belonging to her 11-year-old son who has been missing since Sunday morning. It is believed that the definite identification of the body will soon be made. The present theory is that the boy had gone bathing in a stream close by when he met his death.

Washington, D.C. --- JOHNNY HUDGINS, PANTOMINE ARTIST, FEELS RACE URGE Pride of race and the call of blood have been the urges which gave Washington theatre-goers the opportunity of seeing Johnny Hudgins, the peerless pantomime artist at the Howard Theatre last week. "I have never forgotten my race," said Johnny in an exclusive interview with the Tribune reporter just before he left for the Cilson Theatre in Baltimore. "I have had recently an uncontrollable desire to play in colored houses after my successes abroad. so you know that this is the first time that I have played before a colored audience for seven years?" Johnny Hudgins, the speechless winner of the theatre, can talk—and how! For five years he has not spoken a word on the stage. For five years he has caused the best critics of the world to call him the leader of all present day comedians, and all without uttering a word. But he can talk backstage. Hudgins reviewed his stage career from the time he played at the Galey Theatre here in Washington with a white company to his moment of supreme triumph in France with the late Florence Mills. But all this time, says Hudgins, he felt that he would be personally happy when one day he could come back to his people and say, "See what I have done for my race?" And so Johnny Hudgins is not with the "Blackbird" troupe that went to Paris. And so Lew Leslie had to leave behind his best drawing card. For Johnny Hudgins has returned for a short while to his people. After playing several of the colored houses for his own personal happiness, Hudgins expects to accept the offer of the Keith-Albee circuit which he is now holding in abeyance. STUDENTS PRESENT "THREE MUSKETERS" The pupils of the Randall Junior High School presented an adaptation of "The Three Musketeers" on Friday and Saturday evening of last week before a large and appreciative audience. Every phase of the drama was artistically done. The costumes were gorgeous, the scenery was most beautiful and appropriate, and the play was intelligently interpreted by the juvenile actors and actresses who put much feeling into their acting and singing. The rich musical voices of the singers were as numerous as they were varied, and received generous applause from the audience. The whole affair was a successful school project in which every department from art to business made a real contribution. The "All-High School Orchestra" under the direction of Mr. Henry L Grant rendered many well selected overtures which were played with effective technique and interpretation. WARES' HOTEL IMPROVED Improvements made at Ware's Hotel proved an agreeable surprise to yesterday's guests. Parking facilities at the inn have been greatly enlarged, and other changes made for the comfort of guests. A spacious lobby, with phone booth and commodious lounging chairs has been installed on the first floor. Kitchen and dining room have been remodeled and enlarged so as to provide for increased patronage. An open-air palm garden and dancing pavilion has been installed on the second floor for small private parties. Running water and private bath is also available on the second floor, and the latest type of self-service soft dring dispenser has been installed in the cafeteria. GEORGE BIAS PROVES HIM- SELF NATURAL BORN ARTIST George Bias, the sweet, toned tenor, now starring at the Howard Theatre, is the only colored singer of the Jean Austin type that is recording for phonograph companies today. The rise of Bias has been rapid and phenomenal. A year ago he was unknown, a boy in Baltimore with no definite outlook for the future. Today he is in a class by himself. Tomorrow—well, who knows of totromorrow? George Bias has never studied music in his life. He seems to be a natural born artist, perhaps a budding genius. Final Opening of BROWN'S CORNER Friday, May 31st, 1929 OPEN FROM 9 to 11 P.M. Souvenirs and Refreshments Free To All Good Music and Entertainment Furnished By Cole and Lee's Society Orchestra ALL WELCOME BROWN'S CORNER, 1900 7th St., N.W. Corner 7th and T Streets On Monday night, the three "Happy Fals." Charles Lee, Edwin Leak, and James Coates, opened their series of summer dances at Suburban Gardens. A large crowd of prettily dressed girls with their escorts made whoopee to the tune of Ike Dixon's Baltimoreans and the Washington Bluebird Orchestra. The trio of well known pleasure promoters will present a feature dance at the Gardens every Monday night. Among the students graduating this June, Charles H. Boriican and James P. Scott will receive the degree of bachelor of science in electrical engineering. Charles Boriican is an honor student, having recently been elected a member of the third of all graduates of this department to receive the honor of cum laude. Boriican is from Bridgeton, N.J., and is a graduate of the Bridgeton High School. James Scott, while meeting the rigid requirements of his department, also has engaged in extra-curricular activities. He is one of three men to be honored with the Glee Club key for the present year. His home is in Washington, and he prepared for college at the high school in Lebanon, Pa. The other two men to receive the Glee Club key, which is given for four years' work with the club and the completion of all academic requirements in the university, are James Tyson and Eugene Weathers. Tyson is from Uniontown, Pa., and Weathers is from Clarksburg, W. Va. Exhibitions The College of Applied Science will give its second annual exhibition from June 3 to June 7. Among other things there will be demonstration in the department of electrical engineering, showing the operation of the Heidenhoff test bench. The department of architecture will give a display of domestic, public and ecclesiastic design, both in drawings and models, together with examples of decorative arts and interiors. The department of art will give an exhibition of student work. The Idle Hour Club gave another card party and dance last Saturday at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Granville T. Johnson. Those present were Misses Louise Gilmore, Cecelia Merriwaier, Ordee Scruggs, Vernice Brown, Matilda Bell, Louise Boston, Helen Reese, Harriet Jones, Normale Dale, R.

Barrington Guy, son of Washington, and offspring of Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Guy, of this city, is now appearing in "Blackbirds" at the Elfing Theatre, New York. He is one of the stars of Company No. 2, which replaced Company No. 1, when the latter company sailed for an engagement in France. Style Show at Armstrong The night school students of Armstrong Manual Training High School demonstrated some of their work by putting on a "style show" on Wednesday night in the auditorium of the school. Each dress and hat worn by the students were made by them. The auditorium was crowded to capacity. Following the stage demonstration of the style show, the large crowd visited the various rooms and reviewed the many articles of wearing apparel there exhibited. The domestic science department attracted its share of the crowd and was successful in selling practically everything on demonstration. Lois Parker Added to "Jazz Regiment" Lois Parker, of the "Shuffle Along" chorus, and late of the London edition of "Show Boat," has been added to the cast of "The Jazz Regiment," starring Gertrude Saunders, which has its Broadway premiers about the middle of June. "The Canary Murder Case" At the Lincoln Theatre Mystery is stalking in. "Who killed the Canary?" is the cry of the hour. "The Canary Murder Case," one of the most baffling detective stories ever written, now made into an exciting moving picture by Paramount, will open at the Lincoln Theatre for four days, beginning Saturday, June 1, 1929. On the screen, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday, June 5, 6, 7, will be seen and heard in a return engagement the 100 per cent all-talking all-singing and all-dancing sensation "The Broadway Melody," featuring Anita Paige, Bessie Love, and Charles King. With each change of feature photoplay there will be a complete change of Vitaphone and Movietone acts. New York Dope MAURICE DANCER "BLACKBIRDS" SAILS FOR PARIS Lew Leslie and his number one company of "Blackbirds," after more than a year on Broadway, departed from these shores last Friday midnight, aboard the French liner La France for Paris, where they will open at the Moulin Rouge for a summer's engagement, being the first all-American company to hold this stage. Included among the stars that sailed, were Adelaide Hall, Aida Ward, Tim Moore, Eddie Rector, Man Tan Moreland, Blue McAllister Peg Leg Bates, Louis Deppee and Earl (Snakehips) Tucker. Leslie also took over a bevy of beautiful girls for the approval of the French, including Ruth Johnstone, Marmetta Newton and Lydia Burke. The number two company of "Blackbirds" headed by Harriet Calloway, with Hamtree Harrington, Emmett Anthony, Joyner and Foster, Jessica Zackery, Barrington Guy and a well balanced cast is now holding swing at the Elfingen Theatre and it looks as if we will still have a "Blackbirds" with us all summer. "Messin' Around" Closes "Messin' Around" Closes It is rumored that Perry Bradford and Jimmie Johnson, who wrote "Messin' Around" pulled out their music because of some misunderstanding with the producer, Louis IsQuith, which closed this production last Monday night. "Pansy" Wilters Maceo Pinkard's witted flower "Pansy," has folded its leaves after one of the worst openings that has ever been witnessed on Broadway. This musical as could be seen, was not ready even for any outlying theatre, without trying for the gay white way. "Bambooola" Finishes Casting Irving Cooper has finished his casting for his forthcoming Broadway production, "Bambooola," that will have its opening some time in June. The names of Isabelle Washington, Billy Andrews, Monte Hawley, Billie Cortez, McClain Twins George Randol, Tim Brynn and his fifteen Bambooilans are among the principals, to have featured roles in this production and all are hard at work, rehearsing. "On With the Show" Premiere May 28th "On With the Show," the 100 per cent natural color, all-singing, all-talking and dancing Warner Brothers Vitaphone special, will have its world's premiere at the New York Winter Garden, May 28. This picture that will remain for an indefinite duration, is feature System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C. says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thousands of others say the same. Try it. 25 cents a package. Thedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT For Constipation ORNER "THE CANARY MURDER CASE" VENGEANCE? FEAR? JEALOUSY? ROBBERY? What caused the murder of Broadway's most alluring show girl? You will find the answer when you see "THE CANARY MURDER CASE" Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, June 5, 6, 7 RETURN ENGAGEMENT of the 100% All-Talking, Singing and Dancing Screen Sensation "THE BROADWAY MELODY" Owing to the tremendous crowd that was not able to gain admittance during its previous engagement we are bringing this back for 3 days only. Bob "Uke" Williams, Master of Ceremonies CHARLES RAY — GALLIE DE GASTON HOWARD ORCHESTRA, AND THE FAMOUS HOWARDETTES AND A HOST OF VISITING ARTISTS Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday VIRGINIA VALLI and GASTON GLASS in "Behind Closed Doors" Thursday, Fri., Sat., Sunday "SHOW FOLKS" With EDDIE QUILLAN and LINA BASQUETTE BIG MIDNIGHT RAMBLE FRIDAY NIGHT, 12:15 "HIS CAPTIVE WOMAN" TALKING PICTURE AT THE REPUBLIC One of the most dramatic court scenes ever shown, ever heard and seen on the screen is featured in the First National Vitaphone picture, "His Captive Woman," starring Milton Sills and Dorothy Mackail, which will be shown at the Republic for five days, from Saturday, June 1, to Wednesday, June 5, inclusive. From a night club in Harlem, then to glittering Broadway, where a sensational murder trial is in progress, and all the way to the South Sea Islands, "His Captive Woman" is one of the most dramatic talking pictures ever made. On Saturday, June 1, only episode seven of "The Fatal Warning," the gripping mystery serial, will be shown. "The Painted Post," starring Tom Mix and Tony, the wonder horse, will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, June 6 and 7. This is the final picture made by Mix before severing his connections with the Fox Company, and is said to be one of his best. ing America's foremost comedien- ge, Erik Walers. "Hallelujah" Stars Return to Harlem Back where they started, Harlem is bubbling over with its movie stars that have returned home from their triumphs in Hollywood, Nina Mae McKenney, star of "Hallelujah," was formerly a chorus girl here with Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," also Bill Fountaine, another "Hallelujah" lead and Evelyn Pope Burwell are on the avenue receiving their many congratulations. We are all waiting for the picture to have its premiere as there has been much discussion since the showing of "Hearts in Dixie." "Bo" Opens at Palace Bo Opens at Palace With the usual popularity that always follows this stigge artist, Bill (Bojangles) Robinson opened at Keith's Palace, Sunday, and as always before, he simply tied up things. It seemed to have been a return home after a long journey for him, for "Bo" has been away from vaudeville for more than a year, starring with Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," and was one of the main reasons for that musical to still be playing to capacity audiences at the Eltinge Theatre. From what I understand, he returned to vaudeville at a salary that exceeds way over a grand each week, and you can plainly see that he is worth twice as much. Paul Bass With "Town Topics" Paul Bass, popular tenor, is the new addition to Leonard Harper's "Tan Town Topics" from the popular Connie's Inn, that will come to Broadway the first part of June. "Jazz Lips" Richardson has also been added to the cast. Because of a previous production having the title of "Ten Town Topics" Connie Beginning Monday matinee, June 3, the Howard management is presenting "Summer Frolics," with Bob (Uke) Williams, as master of ceremonies, assisted by Galli De Gaston, Charles Ray, Joe Byrd, the popular Howardettes, and the Howard Orchestra, with Carolyn Thornton as conductress. There will also be seen and heard a gala array of visiting artists. On the screen Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday, will be seen "Behind Closed Doors," a Columbia production, which is an absorbing mystery drama, full of adventure, thrills, suspense, surprise, and intrigue. On the screen Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will be seen the Pathe picture, "Show Folks," directed by Paul L. Stein, said to be one of the most authentic stories of back stage life ever has changed his title to "Hot Chocolates" opening June 10. Stepin Fechit To Visit Harlem All Harlem is set to welcome a hero. Stepin Fechit, who has won many honors since the talksk hit the silent drama, will soon visit Harlem, where he has many friends. There is also a rumor about him bringing with him a bride in the person of Dorothy Stevenson, of New Orleans. Director John Ford, of the Fox studios, is now in Maine visiting his parents, and will return to New York to take several shots for a forthcoming picture, in which Fechit has an important role. While here on business, this screen star will be on his honeymoon and do much night clubbing in Harlem. Louis Armstrong in Harlem After several successful engagements in the middle West, Louis Armstrong, Carol Dickerson, and the boys of their Savoy Ballroom orchestra of Chicago, are now in New York City, considering several offers and expect to remain in the big tent for the summer. Louis will also do some more recording, because his recent releases for Okeh Phonograph Company, recorded by this master cornetist and his Savoy Ballroom Five are popular as ever. Carbonated Ladies You can't depend on a show girl to be a lady when she becomes highly carbonated. Take the scene in a certain ahh paddy, early one yawning last week. One of the ex-Ziegfeld lassies of "Show Boat" staggered up to the bar and shoved another girl to one side. "You beg my pardon, don't you?" surcastically said the indignant one. "Be your age, dearie," was the sassy answer. "I am glorified; we have nothing in common." "Yeah?" was the come back. "I knew you when you worked in Tabbs and there is nothing commoner than that." Wednesday night is opportunity night. Saturday night is gift night. The regular mid-night ramble is Friday night. 12:15. DUNBAR THEATER Raymond H.

Logan, of the Grand Army of the Republic, issued a general order designating the 30th of May, 1868. "For the purpose of strewing with flowers or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in the defense of their country in the late rebellion." Logan did this "with the hope that it will be kept up from year to year." In 1882, the Grand Army urged that the "proper designation of May 30th, be Memorial Day"—not Decoration Day. By 1910, all the States had adopted May 30th as Memorial Day, save Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Texas. In Virginia the 23rd of May is known as Confederate Memorial Day, although the National Day is observed too. Tennessee and Louisiana celebrates the 3rd of June, Jefferson Davis' birthday, as Confederate Memorial Day; in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and Mississippi, they celebrate April 26th, and North and South Carolina, May 10th. The idea of decorating the graves of our fallen heroes became general following the Civil War. The South has not agreed upon May 30th, but has a day in April, May or June, according to local custom, but it is known as Confederate Memorial Day, and the memory lingers. But, since the World War, there are dear ones buried, not only in "Flanders' Field," but in the various National and local cemeteries over the South. The veterans of the World War have adopted May 30th, and that will have its effect in the South. As the veterans of the Civil War are passing rapidly out of the picture, the veterans of the late war are moulding sentiment for May 30th. We should remember the part played by our own men from Banker Hill to Chateau-Thierry, and in many cases, like San Juan Hill, then we must present story to tell, had our men not been there reporting to God the reason why. It's good for a people and a nation to remember its heroes. THE COMPETITIVE DRILL A FAILURE The annual competitive drill on Thursday, May 23, between the twelve companies from Armstrong, Dunbar and Cardozo High Schools, proved the failure of the supposed discipline which this feature of the high schools is supposed to instill into the students. Instead of encouraging morale it is destroying it. The competition is and should be between companies and not between schools, as the students seem to think. Who is responsible for this supposition we do not know. The discipline has failed when a captain and his officers of the winning company are unsafe on the streets in uniform and badges. Of what service are the medals and badges if the hoodium students have not the decorum nor sportsmanship to commend their fellow students who won? Discipline must be at a low ebb when arms must be stacked on the field and the companies dismissed there, instead of marching back to their schools, placing arms in their proper place and being dismissed at the school. Discipline has failed when a winning officer is surrounded and a brick hurled at him and threats made against him. Discipline has failed when menacing fellow students and drill contestants threaten the winners, making them fearful of their safety and fearful of their brother officers. If officers cannot be counted upon to maintain order among themselves, how can you expect the privates to demonstrate decorum? These are the only colored high schools in the United States where we have cadets. Since it is an example, cannot the instructors inspire sufficient pride into the cadets and enforce a discipline which would promote pride and sportsmanship into the drill that woul dbe productive of excellent results? As to Dunbar winning, there is some reason. Dunbar is a literary school while Armstrong is a trade school. However, Armstrong runs away with Dunbar in both football and basketball. But there is no threatening of the Armstrong teams by their victims. Why is it that Armstrong cannot show the same spirit toward Dunbar in the drill results as Dunbar shows in sport contests? Either the drill must be abolished or better discipline maintained. This deplorable episode must not be repeated. VOTES WIN AGAINST DOLLARS Mayor Floyd Williams, of Gary, Indiana, was defeated for re-election last week although it is reported that $10,000 was used for his re-election. Mayor Williams took sides with the white students protesting against colored youth being admitted to the high school. The colored voters remembered his stand on the high school situation and instead of permitting the mayor to send their children to a jim crow high school, they snowed him under with their ballots. Votes win against dollars. JOHNSON MAKES GOOD Arthur R. Johnson, Negro mayor of Miles Heights, just outside of Cleveland, has secured gas for the residents of his municipality. For more than two years the people had tried to get the East Ohio Gas Company to extend its service to their community. Most of these people are white, but are praising Johnson for this accomplishment. Johnson assumed the office of mayor following the sudden death of Mayor D. H. Von Benken, in January. CAPITAL Snapshots BY TED LAWSON Now that the drill is all over, and everybody's had a chance to get cooled off and settled down, I've been doing a lot of thinking, which isn't at all unusual for yours truly. I've been thinking about the drill. What have I been thinking about the drill? That is the question. The main thing that I've been thinking about is something that nobody else seems to have given a thought. That is, "Why don't they put some variety into the drill?" Every year they pull off the same old stunts. First, a whole lot of fellows march around the field and then they run around, falling all over themselves and their guns, and then they go off and another company comes on and does the same old thing, and then they all march on again, and they give all three prizes to Dunbar, and then there's the annual fight—everything's so much the same that it gets monotonous. The fellows that put on that sort of an exhibition aren't good showmen. They ought to learn that variety is the spice of life. They ought to put some pep into the drill. It needs a little jazzing up—something new. That's where I come in. All those fellows need is a few suggestions in time and they'll improve. Here are the suggestions. If they haven't used some of them by next year, they might as well not have a drill. First comes the matter of those heavy guns that the privates have to lug around. It's a shame that they make all the little shavers carry sixteen-pound guns while the big, strapping, husky captains carry little sabers. That really shouldn't be. They ought to make some kind of age allowance. The private are always the younger. They ought to be given the lighter weapons, the sabers. Then the officers, older and stronger boys, could tote the sixteen-pounders. Maybe they'll do that next year. It's a matter that ought to be looked into immediately. The poor boys might get one-sided if they have to endure those guns another time. Think of the improvement in the looks of the companies. Wouldn't you rather see a big company of boys charging down on the enemy (that's the six R.O.T.C. boys in the corner of the field), with sabers drawn and flashing in the sunlight? You know how pretty the Arabs look in the movies with those long, flashing swords? That's the way the boys would look out there on the field if they were given sabers. Another improvement might be made in the means of locomotion Liberal Progressive Independent EDITORIAL The Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. 929 U Street, N.W.

Advertising rates furnished by request ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE ADVERTISING RATE MEMORIAL DAY Any regular Army man can travel on foot. Some can ride trucks and some can even fly. These means of transportation are all either too fast or too slow. They require gasoline or food. The only ideal means of traveling would be on the bicycle. With the bicycle the fellows could ride along at just the right speed. The bikes wouldn't require any food like a horse, or any gas like an airplane or truck. What could be sweeter? How many Army men can travel on bicycles? Not a dozen! They haven't had the training in high school! All right then, let's give our boys the training. Let's start them off right. If the military instructors take that hint, we'll have some real variety next year. Then, maybe we could get in a little reform on the suits. The present ones are entirely too tight. They squeeze the midriffs and other parts so much that all the food goes either to the head or to the feet. Now a swelled head is never an asset to any cadet. Neither are big feet. Both of these seem to be caused by the tight uniforms. We suggest that they loosen up a little. Maybe a nightgown like the Ku Klux wear would serve the purpose. Then they could hold the drill at night and have a little lynching as a side-line. More variety, you see. A few other changes and we'd have a real drill next year. Think of those boys riding their bicycles in their white night gowns at night, with spotlights playing on them from every angle, and with their sabers flashing in the moonshine! Think of the real fight that would start when they gave one first prize to Dunbar, one first prize to Armstrong, and the third first prize to Cardozo. That, we would say, would be a real drill!! POET'S COLUMN (Writers of verse, serious or light, may send to this column their "brain children." If you commune with the poetical muse, send in your original verses. Poems will not be returned if not accompanied by addressed, stamped envelope.) WHITHER, HOWARD? (To H.U.) 'Tis not in A's or B's or C's. Or kinky hair made straight with grease, .. man's a man for what he's worth. High heels, rouged lips, light skins are right But unessential things of life; Straight wavy hairs do not proscribe Existence of a cultured mind. Where Howard wanders, no one cares, While selfish souls insatiate Take shelter soon insulate In thought and word demoralized Bow down to materialism. Devoid of humane consciousness, The leading lions roar wild, And social castes with programs false Thus proselyte man's heritage. Howard becomes a melting not It hardens becomes a meeting pot, To harbor aimless machine cogs, Whose thoughts are filled with phantasy Unmindful of the things that count. Tis not in falsehood, caste or wealth, Tis not in hue bleached pale with cream, Nor in a wooly hair made straight, A man's a man, and that is that. MEHARRY AWARDS DIPLOMAS TO 97 NASHVILLE, Tenn.—The annual anniversary exercises of the Mehary Medical College, which were held here last Thursday after noon, were marked by the awarding of diplomas to the 95 graduate of the four departments of the professional school. ATLANTA MAYOR VETOES SEGRE-GATION LAW Measure Held Unconstitutional; Council Will Try To Override Veto, Says Friends of Bill ATLANTA, Ga.—Following the recent example of Richmond, Va., Atlanta is just now in the midst of a segregation muddle. On Monday night the City Council, without previous warning of its purpose, enacted an ordinance forbidding any white or colored person to move into a block the majority of whose residents belong to the other race. The ordinance, it is stated, is an exact copy of the one recently enacted in Richmond, which has already been declared unconstitutional by Judge Lawrence Groner, who has issued an injunction against its enforcement. When the ordinance was first presented to Mayor Ragsdale he is said to have approved it. However, when his attention was called by representatives of the Interracial Commission and by the city attorney to the fact that previous ordinances of an exactly similar sort have been held unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court, and that the Richmond ordinance enacted a few weeks ago has already been adversely ruled upon by the courts, the mayor changed his mind and vetoed it. They say that this issue will be brought before the council next Monday night and that, in case the mayor's veto is held to be valid, the council will be asked to override it by two-thirds vote.

GIVES RECITAL Miss Gladys M. Davis gave her senior recital Tuesday evening, May 28, 1929, in Rankin Memorial Chapel at Howard University.

SEGREGATION CASE PETITION ANSWERED Supreme Court of United States Asked to Dismiss Plea of Plaintiffs For Review Briefs in opposition to petition for writs of certiorari seeking a review of two residential segregation cases which arose in the District of Columbia were filed in the Supreme Court of the United States, last Monday. These two cases involve the question of whether covenants, which provide that certain property shall not be used, occupied by or sold, conveyed, leased, rented or given to colored persons, are valid. The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia affirmed a decision of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia upholding such covenants. The plaintiffs, supported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, applied to the Supreme Court of the United States for a review of the two cases. The property involved in these cases are No. 2328 First street, northwest Hornby and Alyse Cornish, and No. 7. Raudalph street, northwest. FORUM Concerning Conduct After the Competitive Drill Editor of the Tribune. Sir; After witnessing the disgraceful scenes in the environs of the ball park at the conclusion of the competitive drill between the two local colored high school cadet corps, I rise to inquire if the best interests of the schools, the cadets, and the community do not require the abolishment of this annual event. Following the awarding of medals and badges and the dismissal of the competing companies, the public was treated to a shocking display of gang spirit on the part of the losers in the drill. Only police interference prevented physical violence to the winning officers and many of the boys were obliged to seek the protection of teachers, relatives or friends in order to reach their homes in safety. Minor assaults, profane language, cap snatching, ripping of badges from the winners' uniforms, and many other examples of unbridled passion were indulged in, while a hoodlum gang of uniformed cadets event went so far as to besiege the home of the winning captain and dare him, under penalty of bodily injury, to appear out-of-doors. If the annual competitive drill must be attended by such tactics, by all means let the Board of Education dispense with the drill until such time as the students and their adherents learn to accept defeat in a sportsman-like manner. The writer is not connected with either of the institutions in question. Dr. Marshall Endorsed For Elk Auditor At the last meeting of Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, of the Elks, held Tuesday, in the Arcade of the Pythian building, said lodge went on record as endorsing Dr. Charles A. Marshall to succeed himself in the office of Grand Auditor of the Grand Lodge. This action incidentally closely follows a very popular endorsement by Morning Star Lodge of Hon. Armond W. Scott, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, who has announced his candidacy for Commissioner of Education. Just a few months ago Dr. Marshall was appointed by the Grand Exalted Ruler, Hon. J. Finley Wilson, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Floyd C. Payne. Joseph C. Steward Dies After a lingering illness Joseph C. Stewart passed away, Sunday, May 26, at 7:30 p.m. He is survived by a widow, a son, Courtney, and two grandchildren. The remains rested at the McGuire Funeral Home and from there were taken to People's Congregational Church for burial at noon, Friday, May 31. Interment was at Arlington National Cemetery. Mr. Stewart was a prominent member at Eureka Lodge of the Masons. ABRAHAM DIXSON DIES The funeral of Abraham Dixson was held Tuesday at 1 p.m. from the Friendship Baptist Church, First and H streets, southwest.

Nelson was held from the Metropolitan Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon, Rev. E. C. Smith officiating. Mr. Nelson was a prominent Odd Fellow. The Whitefield McKinlay organization, the oldest colored real estate firm in the city, is moving from 810 F street, northwest, to its own building at 1135 Ninth street, northwest. Besides Mr McKinlay, the founder of the organization and former Collector of Port of Georgetown, D.C., Thomas H. R. Clarke and Charles H. Flagg are active members of the firm. Besides commodious offices of the business of the Whitefield McKinlay organization, the building will offer large offices to be let to other businesses. CUT IN ALTERCATION Calvin Parker, 28, of 1722 Willard street, northwest, was cut over the right eye by some blunt instrument wielded by some person unknown. He was treated at his home by Dr. Glading, of the Emergency Hospital. His condition is not serious. which was sold to Edgar G. and Susie B. Russell. Counsel for the white property owners opposing a review of the cases take the position that the public policy of the District of Columbia, the Nation's Capital, permits and recognizes as necessary the segregation of the races under certain circumstances. Attorneys for the petitioners contend that residential segregation covenants are contrary to the public policy of the United States and are unenforceable in the courts. If such covenants are enforced, they say, a veritable ghetto system will result. FEATURES THE YOUNGER FOLKS' REALM C. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1.

A WILD HUNTSMAN By Caroline Howell It was Sunday morning many years ago. The air was filled with the sounds of church bells. Cartloads of simple peasants, all dressed in their gay Sunday clothes, jogged over the rough country road, on their way to church. Upon the rocky cliff just above the valley the Count of the Rhine lived in a great stone castle. He was a rich land owner from whom the humble peasants rented their small farms. He rode to church in a splendid coach drawn by four white horses. The bright red coats of his coachmen could usually be seen far in the distance, but this Sunday morning the eager faces of the peasants searched in vain for the beautiful carriage of the Count of the Rhine. Could it be that he was not attending church this morning? "Hallo! Hallo!" suddenly rang upon the clear morning air. The peasants looked in all directions to see what rascal was disturbing the peace of the Sabbath. Surprised, indeed, were they to see the count in his hunting suit riding toward them. With him were a number of his wealthy friends, all ready for a chase. The horrified peasants shouted words of warning to the count as he fled by. "Stop. Count of the Rhine, we implore you!" But the count made no effort to stop. Late in the evening the count spied a beautiful stag. He chased the stag so deep into the forest that his companions would not follow him. Taking a deep breath he blew his horn as loud as he could. He blew again and again only to be disappointed that none of his companions came to his aid. Startled by a mighty wind sweeping towards him from the rear, he abruptly stood up in his stirrups. In less than a moment he was encircled by innumerable grinning demoms, creeping closer to him, they sneered at him, saying, "You went hunting on Sunday, oh, Count of the Rhine. You shall PITHY PAL Enlightening PITHY PARAGRAPHS FROM Enlightening Editorials MR. HOOVER'S COMMISSION Like his cabinet, the President is made up of ordinary folks.

What a terrible punishment! Flames sprang up on all sides of the count. Much to his surprise his horse started to run. The ani mal sped terror-stricken over the trails with the hideous demons at his heels. The rider clung with a tight grip to the saddle. Even many years afterwards, the simple-minded peasants believed that the ghost of the count is flung through the air ever seeking to escape the patch of demons who still chase him, although he has been dead lo these many years. I will start anew this morning With a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to stand complaining Of my ruthless neighbor's greed; I will cease to sit repining While my duty's call is clear; I will waste no moment's whining And my heart shall know no fear. I will look sometimes about me For the things that merit praise; I will search for hidden beauties That elude the grumbler's gaze; I will try to find contentment In the paths I must tread; I will cease to have resentment When another moves ahead. I will not be swayed by envy When my rival's strength is shown; Lwill not deny his merit. But shall strive to prove my own; I will strive to see the beauty Spread before me rain or shine; I will cease to preach your duty And be more concerned with mins. AT THE MUSEUM On Friday, May 17, our art teacher, Miss Green, took her section 8A3. (of which I am a member) to the Art Museum. We went chiefly to see Mrs. Mary Howard Jackson's exhibit of sculpture. Mrs. Jackson is a resident of our own city and ranks first among our sculptors. One of her pieces of sculpture won first prize. It was the bust of Prof. Kelly Miller, the well known mathematician. The bust was a remarkable likeness. Other pieces of her sculpture were "Brotherhood," "Mulatto Mother," "A Student," (Molly Gipson), and "Resurrection." Mrs. Jackson is deeply interested in her race and all of her burses give some idea of Negro life. I enjoyed myself so much that I did not want to come home.
