Ignores Interference William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, was heckled during his speech in which he pledged the full support of the Federation to the wage demands of Pullman car porters and maids at their meeting in the Abyssinian Baptist Church, Sunday in New York. Mr. Green, who came to aid in the unionization work of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, denounced racial prejudice in labor ranks and made an open bid for Negro labor to come in the Federation. He promised separate charters to racial groups barred by unions. Before Mr. Green rose to speak his critics in the audience voiced their skepticism of his good faith. A. Philip Randolph, general organizer of the Pullman porters and maids, was interrupted in his introduction of the federation president. "Why did Mr. Green stop the strike last year?" he was asked. Mr. Randolph ignored the question except to say that the meeting would not be swerved from its scheduled purpose. While Mr. Green was speaking, the hecklers turned on him. He had just asserted that 100 out of 105 international unions in the federation provided for Negro membership and that the federation would charter directly Negro applicants refused by remaining unions when another interruption came. "Say, to how many unions have you done that?" a heckler asked. "I am speaking facts," replied Mr. Green, heatedly, "and when BETTER ROADS NEEDED IN N.E. Speaks Before Agents in Atlanta.

The Garfield Association reported having secured 500 signatures to a petition filed against the raising of street car fares from 8 to 10 cents. A motion was passed opposing the raising of the fares and asking for half fares for school children. Stop signs were requested for Fifth and T streets, north-west. --- Green Questioned WAR EN ROUTE TO AFRICA Photo by Scurlock Mrs. Matthews and Daughter in England Mrs. W. W. Matthews and daughter, Juanita, wife and daughter of Bishop W. W. Matthews, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, sailed, Saturday, from New York, on the Mariatana for Africa, via Southampton, England. They arrived in Southampton, Wednesday, and after spending five S. W. Rutherford in South Mr. S. W. Rutherford, secretary-general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, has just returned to Washington after visits to Atlanta, Ga., and Raleigh, N.C. At Atlanta, a conference of branch office managers and supervisors of the mixed department was held in the National Benefit Building, formerly known as the Odd Fellows Building, and was under the general direction of Mr. George E. Cohran, agency director of the Mixed Department. Mr. T. J. Ferguson, assistant secretary of the company, presided at a smoker and among those who felicitated the distinguished guest of honor were: Messrs. B. J. Davis, W. H. Aiken, Dr. C. H. Johnson, Jesse O. Thomas, E. M. Martin, C. N. Walker, L. D. Milton, D. King, and Dr. M. S. Davage. On his way back to Washington, Mr. Rutherford stopped in Raleigh, N.C., and was a guest of honor at the sixth annual session of the North Carolina Negro Insurance Association. On Thursday evening, July 27, 1929, after an introduction by Mr. C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance Company, he delivered an address dealing with the general subject of the place of life insurance in the economic development of the colored people of the United States. This meeting at Raleigh brought together one of the most important groups of economic leaders of the state. Practically every insurance company doing business in North Carolina was represented, and the subjects discussed were of an intensely interesting character.

CHILD RENTED FOR BEGGING Colored Man Hired Jewish Boy, Who Posed in Chair As An Invalid NEW YORK—David Bernstein pleaded guilty, Monday, to trapping his 7-year-old son, Solomon, into a wheel chair and renting him out to beg for 14 hours daily on the streets. He was sentenced to three years with a recommendation that he be made to serve the full term. Harry Waters, a Negro, was also given a three-year sentence. It was he who rented the boy from Bernstein. It was proven that the child was strapped in the chair so his right leg was rigid and his head tilted over his shoulders as if paralyzed. He had been taught to twitch and shudder. Waters averaged $5 a day in a cup carried by the boy, Bernstein demanding $3.00 of that as rent for the boy, and gave the boy 30 cents. Bernstein admitted that he rented out devices and crutches to pretended cripples and received $2.00 a day of them for each $5.00 obtained by them in begging. Solomon said his father was a "rich man" and had bank accounts in several cities. ROSENWALD GIVES TEXAS COLLEGE $1.500 PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas.—The Julius Rosenwald Foundation of Chicago, has made a conditional gift of $1,500.00 toward enlarging the library at Prairie View State Normal and Industrial College. The gift was made on condition that $4,500 be raised for that purpose by the college. This condition has been met by the college and $1,500 from the Rosenwald Foundation has been received by Principal W. R. Banks. PRESBYTERIAN COLLEGE DENIESFOOD AND SHELTER TOREV. HALLEY B. TAYLOR FIVE LYNCHINGS IN SIX MONTHS TUSKEGEE, Ala.—The Department of Records kept at the institute for the first six months of 1929 show five lynchings for that period. This equals the first six months of last year and four less than for the first six months of 1925, 1926, and 1927. Of the persons lynched, one was white and three were colored. The offenses charged were: rape, 2; killing plantation owner, 1; not removing rubbish from in front of store, and resisting officers of the law, 1; unknown cause, 1. Florida lynched 2, Mississippi 1, and Tennessee 1. SCHOOL BOARD ANNOUNCES NEW GRADING RULE The order regarding eligibility requirements for teachers in classes 2-C and 8-A, so that date will be effective July 1, 1933, instead of July 1, 1930, as reported at the last meeting of the Board of Education, was changed at the meeting on Monday. A uniform system for grading all the schools from elementary through senior high schools was adapted. Two Centers for Cripples Two centers for crippled children are to be established in September. The one in the colored schools will be located in the John F. Cooke School. The health department reports 35, of which 24 have been examined, and 7 of them assigned to this new center. They will be transported in a bus. Their school day will begin at 9:30 a.m. A physio-thearpist will be employed to look after these children. Music in high schools will constitute a 2-hour period per week in the ninth grade, and elective for the last three grades. The Board ruled that all applicants for entrance to Teachers' College must pass a physical examination. The following changes were made in personnel: Appointments and reinstatements: Miss H. Z. Bennett, teacher, Shaw Junior High, Appt. prob. July 1; Mr. P. L. Jacobs, teacher, Phy. Ed, Garnet Patterson Junior High, Appt. prob. July 1; Mrs. L. T.

(Continued on page 3) Hoover Awaits Agreement FREDERICK, Md.-Barred from quarters and the dining room in Hood College, a Presbyterian school here, Dr. Halley B. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Presbyterian Church of Washington, and secretary of the Presbyterian Ministers' Association of Washington, withdrew his name from the register of the Baltimore Synod and Women's Synodical Society for Missions of the Presbyterian Church meeting in this city, Thursday evening, and returned to his home in Washington. For the past three years the Synod has held its sessions in June instead of October, at this school. This was the first time that Dr. Taylor had attended a June session. He went to Frederick, on Thursday, registered and was assigned a room, wherein he placed his luggage and attended the afternoon conference. When the dinner hour arrived he went to his plate, assigned by ticket. Everyone was standing, waiting for the grace to be said or sung. A gentleman approached him and asked him to step aside for a word. He was then informed that he could not be served in this dining room. He withdrew his name from the register and left for home. It was learned that a gift from a white woman specified that the gift was made on conditions that no Negro would ever be admitted to the dormitories or dining room of Hood College. This gift of hate was accepted and Hood College has fostered this prejudice ever since. Caused a Stir The incident caused quite a stir that evening and served as the subject of much discussion. Communion was served, Thursday night, and many refused to commune in the house of hate. Several of the prominent men of the Synod who live in Baltimore and Washington expressed their regret of the whole affair. Dr. Taylor stands high among the white Presbyterian ministers of Washington. He is serving his (Continued on page 3). FORMER VICE-DEANS HONORED BY HOWARD MEDICAL FACULTY Dr. Collins S. Marshall, retired Vice-Dean of the School of Medicine of Howard University, and Dr. A. J. Brown, retired Vice-Dean of the College of Dentistry, were presented tokens of esteem by the general medical faculty, Thursday evening, June 27. Enlarged photographs of each were presented to the university. The occasion was the regular meeting of the faculty, held in the faculty room of the new Medical Building. A humidor filled with cigars was presented to Dr. Marshall and an electric clock to Dr. Brown. Dr. H. C. Scurlock and Dr. Raymond Thomas made the presentations on behalf of the faculty. The two photographs presented to the university will be hung in the medical faculty room. The Committee in charge was composed of Dr. Benjamin Karpman, Dr. John Mitchell, Dr. F. P. Barrier, and Dr. Ernest M. Geuld. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, is attending the summer school of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. H. H. Long will be in charge of the vacation schools during the absence of Mr. Wilkinson. COLORED BOY RECEIVED AT WEST POINT WEST POINT, N.Y.—Alonzo Souloule Parham, Chicago high school graduate and appointee of Congressman Oscar DePriest, was sworn in Monday as a "plebe" at the United States Military Academy. Parham is the first colored boy to enter this school since 1918 when J. B. Alexander, of Ohio, began the four-year course, but dropped out after four months. Only three of the 22 colored men who have entered the Academy graduated. Promised Equal Footing The commandant of the Cadets, Col. R. C. Richardson, in an address to the incoming cadets declared that at West Point there is absolute equality of democracy where the rich man's son is treated no difficulty from the poor boy; where the color of a man's skin makes no difference. Parham reached the academy at 7 a.m. By 9 o'clock the entire class of 400 members were on hand to receive their clothing. Most of the boys were given a room with two or three in it. Parham has a room to himself. Drill Starts The first drill was held today and most of the new students, including young Parham were able to do "squads right" and "squads left" without difficulty. The new entrants' time was pretty well taken up that the boys had little time to get acquainted. Parham was received on equal footing with the other Plebes during the routine, sat at the dining table with the other students, and received the same treatment as the rest. It was made plain by officers at the academy that Parham will remain at the school as long as he lives up to its standards and make the passing grades. Parham stated that he was satisfied with his reception and would do his best to make good. FRANCIS ILL Friends in this city are greatly concerned over the illness of Hon. W. T. Francis, Minister to Liberia, who is striken with yellow fever Mr. Francis had been granted a three months leave of absence and was to have sailed for home. CAPITAL EDITION PROMISES UNKEPT Appointments So Far Are Only Minor. Only Five Hold Fair Jobs --- FIRST TO GET CROIX DE GUERRE Exploits of Johnson and Roberts Thrilled the Entire World USED BOLO KNIFE Some of His Medals Now On Exhibition at the Museum Here One of the greatest heroes of all the Americans who crossed the briney deep to sacrifice their lives for their country in the late world war, the first American to ever win the French Croix de Guerre, and a winner of nearly a hundred other medals for bravery, has passed away. William Henry Johnson, one of the most noted American soldiers to go over to France with the American Expeditionary forces, died almost in poverty in his little home at 1227 Seventh street, north-west. He was buried at Arlington with full military honors, on Friday. Rev. Warren officiated at the ceremonies, which were held at the Jarvis funeral parlor. The funeral was private and only very close friends attended. He is survived by a wife, Mrs Minnie Johnson, and Edward Penn a relative in Winston-Salem, N.C. Name is Immortal Johnson's name as one of the greatest heroes of his race, and of his country, will live forever. His personal daring and courageousness stand alone in the war annals of the country. There seems to be no man in America, white or black, who has earned a better right to the Croix de Guerre than he. Here is the story of the exploit that gave him that medal. In 369th Infantry He was sent to France with the 369th Infantry, formerly the New York Infantry. The regiment was brigaded with French troops and other Negro attachments. Word slipped through the lines that the Germans were about to attack, German leaders having inspired their men with the idea that (Continued on page 3) WOMAN SEEKS PLACE ON CLEVELAND, OHIO, BOARD OF EDUCATION CLEVELAND, Ohio. — Formal launching of the campaign to nominate and elect Mrs. Marry B. Martin, wife of Alexander H. Martin, prominent colored attorney, to membership on the Board of Education of the City of Cleveland, took place here last week. Mrs. Martin made her first address announcing her candidacy before the 17th Ward Republican Club meeting. So completely did she win her audience that a unanimous vote of endorsement was given by the club, and personal endorsement of its leader, Dr. Leroy N. Bundy. DESECRATE STATUE PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti.—A statue of the Emperor Dessalines, national hero of the Haitian Republic, was desecrated by unidentified vandals this morning. The statue was smeared with white paint and a small empty beer keg was hung over the uplifted arm. Government circles were inclined to believe that the vandalism was an attempt to discredit the American marine force and the government, which the Haitians hate because of the many crimes committed against them by the Marines. APPOINTMENTS DELAYED DUE TO DIFFERENCES Administration Has Done Nothing As Yet for the Negro Voters Unofficial word comes from the White House that President Hoover is favorably disposed to the political aspirations of colored people and would reward those who have been faithful to the Republican party, but he is hindered in doing anything to promote their desires by factional differences among them. In addition to the traditional places that go to Negroes under Republican administrations, it was predicted that President Hoover would make some appointments to positions that have never been held by colored men. At least, those who had authority to speak for him in the campaign made such promises. Rather Inactive These promises are not being fulfilled. The Hoover administration has been virtually inactive so far as the appointment of colored Republicans to office is concerned. Those holding Presidential offices have not been disturbed, but in the four months the Hoover administration has been in charge of the Government not a single colored man has been appointed to office by the President. Three minor appointments have been made by Cabinet officers. Two were to fill vacancies caused by the death of incumbents. The third was made because there was no alternative, the only persons qualified for the position under the civil service being colored. Emory A. Bryant, Jr., was appointed an assistant chief clerk at large in the railway mail service of the Post Office Department by. (Continued on page 8) COVENANTED HOUSES VACANT One Woman Reported To Have Lost $2,000 Deposit; Lone Owner Holds Out "Whatsoever you soweth, thou shall you also reap," is very applicable to the signers of the covenant to keep Negroes out of the 1700 block of First street, northwest, the first block of S and Randolph streets, and the 1700 block of North Capitol street. As a result of the recent court decision upholding the covenanted property, there are six perfectly good homes vacant from 1737 First street, up to the corner of S street. It happened that 1735 was not in the covenant and Dr. R. L. Matthews purchased it sometime ago. As soon as he moved in, the whites wanted to move out, and did. The house on the corner of First and S was sold to a colored woman who, it is reported, paid $2,000 as a deposit on it. Sometimes later she was hailed into court and judgment was obtained against her and she had to move out, minus the $2,000. Since then one or two families moved into these houses as renters, but they did not stay long. The covenanters want to break their covenant, but it seems that one woman is holding them up. She will not agree to breaking it. Therefore, colored people cannot either buy or rent the six vacant houses and white people will not move into them. REV. EPHRAIM PREACHES Reverend William S. Ephraim, evangelist and radio singer, preached a soul-stirring sermon at the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church last Sunday, June 80, at eight o'clock. Oldest Negro Town to Celebrate Its Founding TWO EXERCISES WILL LAST ONE WEEK Many Prominent Speakers On Program.

For the past two years there has not been a single incarceration and the city fathers concluded that the jail was a useless structure in the municipal domain. Although it is in Mississippi, Mound Bayou has hone a good reputation for law observance and discredits the oft-repeated statement that there are more Negroes arrested than whites.

He named Randolph Carter, 38 G street, northwest, as corespondent. In his bill of complaint Green recites a story of his efforts to care for his wife through several illnesses and her alleged desertions of him on trips to New York City upon the recovery of her health. Green alleges that he discovered his wife and Carter in her bedroom in their apartment on June 26. He became suspicious, got his gun and had a woman roomer to open the bedroom door, he states. He found his wife under the bed "rolled up in a sheet," he says, and Carter hiding in a closet. Carter told him, Green says, "I didn't know she 'was married' and for that reason you can't blame me for what has happened." The couple were married December 6, 1923.

DALLAS, Tex., July 2.—Denying charges made by other witnesses with regard to patronage in Texas under investigation by a Senate committee, Rene B. Clerag, Republican National Committeeman for Texas, used the term "nigger lover" in a session of the hearing here yesterday. The committee of which Senator Brookhart of Iowa, is chairman, adjourned finally last evening. This Mr. Brent abused him and attempted to drive him from the house, according to the injured man, and when he refused, the irate Mr. Brent began to throw bricks at Pendleton, who suffered a lacerated scalp, bruises about the head and a probable skull fracture. A hemorrhage from a deep vein caused him to rush to Freedmen's Hospital, where it was immediately arrested by Dr. Martin, of the emergency room staff. Monday morning, Harry Beck, of Dallas, charged the State Republican organization was interested only in controlling patronage. He declared the "Creater Machine" to be a "nile counter." THIRD BAPTIST CHURCH Creager then stated that "Beck is a nigger-lover." Several visitors were present last Sunday, among them the pastor's cousin, Mr. W. M. Jenkins and Mr. Smith, a class mate of Dr. Bullock at Shaw University. Beck rose to his feet declaring "That's false, untrue." "I've got a picture of you with a Negro," Senator Brookhart interjected. "No you haven't," Creager said, "No such picture was taken." Last Friday night the Missionary Society gave a splendid program in which several churches were represented. Several solos were rendered. "We have other information to substantitate that picture," Brookhart declared. Next Sunday Dr. Bullock's topic at 11 a.m. is "Obedient to the Heavenly Vision." At 8 p.m. his topic is "The Men of the Bible." "You have been informed of lots of things and assert them as true when they are not true" Creager replied.

Page was carried to Freedmen's emergency room Tuesday night about 11 o'clock, in an unconscious state. The emergency clinic physician experienced difficulty in discovering what was wrong with the patient, and they consequently questioned immediate relatives for data concerning the patient's past health. According to them, Page had been "fairly well" up to Tuesday, when he went out to play baseball. At 4 o'clock, Tuesday, he complained of feeling bad, and stopped playing baseball. After being taken home, he began to yell and scream, and on the way to the institution he fell unconscious. He died without regaining consciousness at 1:15 a.m., Wednesday. His death was cerebral, according to physicians, but the cause of the cerebral disorder is a mystery.

Immediately, sentinels were stationed along the front line, in order to warn the troops of danger. Johnson, with Private Needham Roberts, was sent to a small outpost on the front line of trenches on sentinel duty. Germans Attack In the middle of the night, some twenty Germans attacked the point at which Johnson and Roberts were stationed. The two, not having time to get back to their regimental headquarters, had to lie still and face the German fire. They were discovered, and the Germans opened fire. Immediately, both Roberts and Johnson were wounded, Johnson three times and Roberts twice. In spite of these wounds the boys refused to surrender, and opened fire on the Huns. Johnson had only a pistol, and Roberts badly wounded, had only hand grenades with which to defend himself. The raiding party came on in spite of their frantic efforts, and soon the boys found themselves surrounded and far outnumbered. Roberts, weak from his wounds, was overpowered and was about to be dragged away by the Germans as a prisoner, when Johnson, all of his cartridges gone, turned his pistol around and fought with the butt end. Having a moment of respite because of his ferocious attack, Johnson drew his bolo knife, a short heavy weapon carried by the American soldiers. It has the blade of a razor, the weight of a cleaver, and the point of a butcher knife. He rushed to the rescue of his weak comrade, and, fighting desperately, opened with his bolo the head of the German who had hold of Roberts. One by one he rushed all of the Boches, and as they fled, killed several, including the leader of the expedition. The Germans withdrew, leaving several weapons and some of their clothing. The commanders of the infantry found the two at dawn, grievously wounded. They were SURANCE CONTEST LINA MUTUAL IS FIRST PRIZE 1st PRIZE WINNER A. E. Miss A.

We resolve that the clerk be instructed to send a letter to Dr. Halley B. Taylor, explaining that the discourtesy he suffered is not an exclusion desired by the synod.

H. Johnson announced today that the Endowment Campaign for $500,000 in which the University has been engaged for the past two years has been successfully completed by securing $250,000 in cash and subscriptions and thus meeting the conditions of the General Education Board, New York, who offered an equal amount if the campaign was completed before July 1, 1929. The largest subscriptions that were received were $50,000 from the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Chicago, $25,000 from the Carnegie Corporation, New York; $20,000 from Pierre S. duPont, of Wilmington, Del., with other amounts ranging from ten thousand dollars to one dollar. The trustees and officers of the university have conducted this campaign without the aid of a commercial agency, but have been greatly assisted by the work of the Alumni Association under the leadership of Dr. Robert Baxter McRary, of Baltimore, president of the Alumni Association and director of the Alumni campaign, of Hon. Walter G. Alexander, M.D., of Orange, N.J., assistant director, and of Dr. George Cleveland Hall, of Chicago, who was recently elected to the board of trustees. The Alumni have subscribed directly about $52,000, more than the quota they accepted, in addition to their help in influential quarters in securing some of the largest subscriptions. The General Education Board will now pay into the University amounts equal to the cash that is received.

Alfred A. Wheat, of Wills for the District of Columbia Clerk of the Probate Court --- EMPLOYMENT IN N.J. DISCUSSED Speaker Says Too Many Are Entering White Collar Field MONTCLAIR, N.J. — "Finding Employment for our Youth," was the main topic of discussion at the annual meeting of the New Jersey Federation of Colored Organizations, held today at the Washington Street Branch of the Montclair Y.M.C.A. Though the crowd which attended was not large, yet it included most of the outstanding business and professional men and women who direct public sentiment among the Negroes of New Jersey, and these joined warmly in the discussion that lasted over two of the three sessions of the day. That the true economic opportunity of the Negro in the future lies not in the professional career, but rather in the industrial field and in business, was the main point brought out by the speakers of the day. Thomas L. Puryear, director of the New Jersey Urban League for Social Work Among Negroes, delivered the outstanding talk of the afternoon session. He stressed the point that a larger percentage of Negroes at present are entering the professions than are qualifying as mechanics. Such a proportion of white collar workers is economically unsound.

Delvers' Literary Club Ends Fifteenth Year The Delvers' Literary Club, the oldest club in Washington, devoted to literature and art, brought to an end one of its most successful years with its meeting at the home of Mrs. Sarah P. Newton, 1118 Columbia road, northwest, Thursday, June 27. At this meeting Dr. Carter G. Woodson, famous for his work in Negro history, gave a very informing lecture on Negro art. Dr. Woodson pointed out the fact that Negro art has failed to receive the proper appreciation thus far because it has been impossible for those of other races to understand and interpret the Negro's esthetic endeavor. After the lecture, the hostess, Mrs. Sarah P. Newton served a delicious supper. The members present were Rev. George A. Parker, Miss Margaret I. Braxton, Miss Lucy Kidrick, Mrs. Sarah P. Newton, Mrs. Marie Bragg, and Mr. John W. Baddy.

This association will meet here in Washington on September 19 and 20, to hold their annual convention. Charleston Gives To Sunday Sch CHARLESTON, S.C.—On Wednesday morning, June 19, at 10:30, this historic city began its unusual welcome to the Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress when Rev. L. B. Brooks, chairman of the local committee, and the pastor, who invited the congress, introduced Mayor Thos. P. Stoney to extend the welcome of the city. No mayor or any other official of any city anywhere has ever given a more brotherly and friendly welcome to the congress than was that which he extended, and those who know him testify to its genuineness. Rev. W. T. Frasier, Rev. J. E. Bailey, Rev. Williams, Dr. A. J. Purvis, and Mr. A. J. Clement, of Charleston, and Rev. J. S. Earle, of Spartanburg, joined in the welcome exercises and Attorney C. E. Corbett, of Oklahoma, and Mrs. Lillie C. Wilson, of Arkansas, responded, and then congress was open for business, after Rev. A. A. Cosey, of Mississippi, preached the introductory sermon. Unfortunately the great tent in the stadium under which all of the meetings were to be held was blown down by a gust of wind and the different pastors and officers showed further hospitality by throwing open their doors and the mayor ordered Morris street school opened for department meetings. The superintendent's department met at the Morris Street Baptist Church, while the Senior B.Y.P.U. Department over which William R. Williams presided met in the spacious Morris Brown Memorial A. M.E. Church. The Pastors' Department recently organized by President W. H. Jernagin and presided over by Dr. E. G.

F. Reid, of Cincinnati, O., and Mrs. S. W. Layten, president of the Women's Department of the National Baptist Convention. On Thursday, the president, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, made his annual address with Dr. W. M. Taylor, of Louisiana, vice-president of the National Baptist Convention, presiding, and made some very constructive suggestions and recommendations for the Congress and gave a very creditable review of the work done during the past year. At the conclusion of his address, the rules were suspended and he was re-elected by acclamation, and with him most of his former cabinet officers. During Thursday afternoon Rev. F. L. Sanders, of Nashville, Tenn.; Rev. H. M. Smith, of Hot Springs, Ark; made the regular scheduled addresses which treated of Evangelizing Ideals and of Inspiration, while Rev. J. C. Austin, of Chicago, made a worthwhile appeal to the vast audience in the interest of one of the field missionaries now sick and disabled. At night, Rev. J. E. East made his appeal for Africa by presenting Miss Ruth Morris, who made such a wonderful appeal for her adopted country that ten young men and women consecrated their lives to work on foreign fields and this was followed by the doctrinal sermon by Rev. U. S. Keeling, of Beaumont, Texas. On Friday, the division meetings of the Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. departments, a new departure suggested by the president of the congress, and at night the superintendents' and Senior B. Y. P.U. demonstrations were the features and served to inspire and instruct the anxious throng of workers. District of Columbia delegates reflected credit upon their churches and after the final departmental meetings of Saturday and the sight-seeing trip around the city and to Port Sumter with the Saturday night recital following, the program for the day ended. On Sunday morning the Model Sunday School was conducted by Attorney Chas. Roberson, of Louisiana, who is leader of the Superintendents' Department, and $204 was raised, and the banner rewon, or recaptured by Michigan by raising $62.62, but in the Model B.Y.P.U. directed by Mr. William R. Williams, of Washington, D.C., the total amount raised was $40.20. Quite a record, and the District of Columbia delegation won second prize after Oklahoma won first prize.

PHONE NORTH 3717 WILLIAMS ATHLETIC CLUB— In a gala holiday bill staged here on the night of the fourth of July, Billy Edwards defeated Kid Dixon in the first round of an eight-round contest by a knockout. Edwards gave him a few taps on the face to start off, and followed these up with a straight right to the Kid's stomach that sent him staggering backward. Edwards waited until he was on his feet again, and then sailed into him with a few straight, hard rights to the jaw and face that sent the Kid back to the ropes, gloves covering his face and bent double. Knocks Out Kid When the Kid straightened up to get out of this corner position, Edwards gave him a right to the jaw that sent him sailing over backwards to the floor. The referee started to count seconds, and Dixon watched him sepenely as he was counted out. Battling Barnum, billed to fight Edwards, declared that he was in no condition to fight Edwards, and therefore Dixon had been substituted. It further developed that Kid Dixon had a broken or fractured wrist, which accounts for his lack of offensive fighting. First Fight The ball was started rolling with Kid Payne meeting Alec Williams. Payne had the advantage over Williams in the matter of weight, but in the first round Williams had Payne down on his knees, and went after him ferociously, landing several rights to the jaw and left hooks to the body. Williams seemed to tire after that round, and Payne came in with all of his heavy artillery. Lefts to the face and rights that landed in Williams' stomach sealed his fate. Williams was backed into the corner several times and administered a good pounding by the heavier boy, but he was game and came back for more until the final bell. The decision was awarded to Kid Payne. Second Bout The second bout, between Kid Jap and the Dixie Kid, turned out to be not so much of a fight. Kid Jap had more real experience, and Dixie was just able to hold him off. There was a lot of close infighting, where the Dixie could do nothing much but hold on and let Jap punch HAMPTON INSTITUTE, June 28.—The C. I. A. A. has just completed its 18th year. Since its beginning in 1911 when Howard, Lincoln, Union, Shaw and Hampton representatives met at Hampton to form the organization great changes have taken place in the development and conduct of athletes. The Association has grown in membership as well as influence with athletic development in the colleges as well as public appreciation of it. The old constitution of the Association has just been revised and will be published in the 1929 bulletin. It has been brought up to date and changed to meet new demands, but the purpose of the Association formulated at the first meeting is still the guiding principle. It was as follows: "To promote the physical welfare of the students in colored educational institutions of higher grade; to foster athletic games and contests in connection with the same; to formulate from time to time and to recommend for adoption by the various authorities controlling athletics in these institutions such regulations as will tend Kid Dixon Falls Before Billie Edwards BILLY EDWARDS 1 his stomach and sides. Jap was hitting all the time, and Dixie was doing his best to stave off some of the blows. Low Punch Jap gave Dixie one low punch in the last round that looked mighty, like a foul, but the referee let the fight go on, and called the bout a draw. The best, fastest, and cleanest fight of the evening, however, was one between Johnny (Sailor) Crutcheld, and Joe Stewart. They were evenly matched, and both had the same weight, about the same amount of experience, and about as much power behind their gloves. Sailor sailed into Joe and beat him back to the ropes twice in the first round, and then, in some very, very fast infighting, neither seemed to have the advantage. The fight continued fast and furious, both punching right and left, and neither seeming to make any impression on the other. Joe seemed to pester Sailor with a lot of little short, straight jabs to the body, but the sailor retaliated with a stiff uppercut after being driven to his corner. From there on, neither could get ssfully s Eighteenth Grown Quickly not only to promote clean, manyssport, but also to maintain scholarship, and to adopt and enforce uniform rules governing all games played and meets held under the auspices of this Association in accordance with the principles of amateur sports." The past year was noted for the keen competition displayed between members of the Association. The games were hard fought, but at the same time the sportsmanship was of the highest order. The public and the press has supported this endeavor of the Association as evidenced by the yearly increase in attendance at the games. Schools have increased equipment and have built athletic fields and gymnasiums. However, there is still need for further development in this direction. The employment of physical directors and coaches as regular faculty members has given the schools a better system of physical education and has especially developed extra mural athletics, reaching large numbers of the student body instead of the few men on the varsity teams. FREE O CALI AIGN HEADQUA WITH THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1929 LINCOLN BOOKED FOR HAMPTON HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—The athletic departments of Hampton Institute and Lincoln University have just completed arrangements for their annual football game to be played in the Polo Ground, New York on Saturday, November 2, 1929. For some months correspondence has been conducted with a view to arranging a game in the Polo Ground or the Yankee Stadium and when one realizes that already football games have been booked up to 1932 in these important sport arenas it can easily be seen how difficult it is to get either place. Hampton and Lincoln were both scheduled to play N. Carolina and Morgan Colleges respectively on November 2, but when there was a possibility of introducing Negro college football teams to the New York public both N.C. College and Morgan gladly adjusted their schedules to allow Hampton and Lincoln to play on that date. This will be the first time Negro College teams have played before the New York public. The Harlem football fans have repeatedly tried to get some of the leading colleges to stage games in New York, but until the present they have been unsuccessful. Because of the great demand for such a game in New York City the outlook for success is encouraging. Many of the leading citizens have already expressed their willingness to cooperate to the fullest extent to make this game a huge success. any edge on the other. Both tired slowly and fought fast. Each fighter had the other one back on the ropes at times, and at the end Joe Stewart looked weaker and had a little blood on his face. The ampire called the fight a good draw, as it was. One-Sided Fight The final preliminary, between K. O. Willie and Billie Carter, was a sort of one-sided affair. Willie got in quite a few hard blows in the first, but tired too quickly, and Billie Carter kept pounding away slowly but surely. K. O. looked all in at the end of the sixth round, while Carter seemed as fresh as ever. Willie's main trouble seemed to be cut on the side of his face that started to bleeding when K. O. gave him a punch there. From then on K. O. worked on that sore spot, and was awarded the decision by the referee. Arena Repaired The arena has been considerably bettered by the addition of a raised ring, and the crowd, although larger, was more orderly than ever before. Other Meets Scheduled The club plans to hold boxing meets such as these on Wednesday evenings throughout the summer. Additions to the facilities are being made, and within a few weeks, it will be the ideal place for all boxing matches in this city. Y. W. C. A. NEWS Mrs. L. M. McRae, the resident secretary, is on a much needed vacation. She is visiting Mrs. Sadie Harper Jefferson and other friends in and about New York City. Mrs. McAdoo goes next week for the Silver Bay Conference Mrs. M. F. Thompson and Dr. Dorothy Boulding will attend the West Virginia Conference. The Physical Culture Club is sending a delegate to the conference also. The Physical Culture Club meets on Thursday evenings, and is enthusiastically carrying out its program of better health. Mrs. Truxton is president of this club. Mrs. C. J. Woolfolk, the club organizer, has returned after a brief visit out of the city. DIAMOND DUST Sam Lacy, formerly editor of the Tribune sports page, and well known in sports circles here, left for Connecticut, where he will play baseball for the balance of the season. George Rossiter's Baltimore Black Sox won the first half of a split schedule by downing the Homestead Grays of Pittsburgh in two twin bills, Sunday, June 30, and Monday, July 1. "Smokey" Joe Williams, Oscar Owens, "Reverend" Cannady, Grahm, and "Jap" Washington, a quintet of stars, were not with the Grays on this eastern invasion, because of injuries sustained in an automobile accident. George Britt is again the property of the Grays. Britt is one of the most versatile players in the game today and he demonstrated that fact in the first game against the Black Sox, when he toed the slab and held the Sox to three hits, and then played in the nightcap as a catcher. The second half of the split schedule is apt to present a hectic struggle with every club having an equal chance. The Bacharachs, Cubans, and Hillsdales will be much stronger in the second half. Caesar Jamieson is doing a very creditable job of umpiring on the Lincoln Giants' home grounds at the Protectorate Oval. "Bill" Gatewood, former catcher of the Bacharach Giants, is umpiring in Atlantic City. "Judy" Gans is umpiring the home games for the Clan Darby. Wickware, one-time great right-hander of Negro baseball, defeated Walter Johnson once in an exhibition game, 1 to 0. "Buck" Ewing is one of our great hitting and throwing mitt artists. He was developed by "Chappie" Johnson, one of the best Negro catchers a few years back. Yancey, the young shortstop of the Lincoln Giants, is reported to be a comer by no less an authority than John Henry Lloyd, his manager. ANNACOSTIA WINS 20 GAMES IN 23 STARTS BEAT BUSY BEES AND BLACK BARONS "Gob" Williams's Annacostia champions continued their winning streak last week when they downed the Busy Bees, a newly organized senior team of Southwest Washington, to the tune of 9 to 3, and by taking advantage of a forfeit at the expense of the Black Barons, 9 to 0. "Blue" Bullet Ball Simpson started on the mound for the juniors against the Bees, but was yanked in favor of Berry, who turned in a big league performance, striking out seven men in three innings. In the seventh inning of the Baron game, with Annacostia at bat and two men on bases with no outs, John Ellis knocked an easy roller to the pitcher, who made a perfect throw to first. Umpire Banks called Ellis safe because the Baron's first sacker did not have his foot on the bag. The Barons protested and the Annacostians took Ellis off the bag and gave the Barons the benefit of the doubt. The Annacostians wanted to continue the game, but the Barons withdrew from the field, and the umpire called the game a forfeit in favor of the Annacostians, 9-0. This brings them up to their twentieth victory in twenty-three starts, and their fifteenth straight in the win column. "Ray" Brooks, the Juniors' fifteen-year-old catcher, performed in great style, assisting Irvin Queen in the battery assignment. CATHOLICS HOLD FIELD DAY; PAY OFF DEBT Citizens of Glenarden, Md., gave a field day exhibition in order to raise money to pay off the debt of the colored Catholic Church of that city. Among the guests were Rev. Father Carrey, Rev. Father Colon. Mr. Morris Lewis and wife, and many delegations representing Washington, Baltimore, and Bowle, Maryland. Addresses were made both by Mr. Morris Lewis, secretary to Representative DePriest, and Mrs. Morris Lewis. A solo was rendered by Mr. Swann, of Glenarden, closing the program. Music was furnished by the Knights of Saint John's band, of Washington, D.C. AKRON, Ohio.—Mammoth preparations are being made for one of the most unique events ever held at the Akron-Cleveland Board Speedway, when on Sunday, July 14, the Emancipation Derby will take place. This derby is a 100-mile auto race in which the contestants are limited to colored racing drivers. It will not be the first event of its kind to be pulled at the Akron saucer, a very successful colored classic having been held in the summer of 1927. Spectators will recall that the colored boys furnished them some real daring driving and many real thrills. As a matter of fact there are many who vow that they display as much gameness and daring as their fair-skinned brether, while a few followers of the sport declare that for sheer recklessness these little colored fellows threw fear to the four winds and that their daringness goes unchallenged. Skillful Drivers The Emancipation Derby, in addition to attracting nation-wide attention to the speed, daring and skill of Negro drivers, will also serve to bring to the front other activities and capabilities of the race. There are a few colored manufacturers of racing cars as well as specialists in other lines, and already the management has received assurance of cooperation from various sources that promise to make the enterprise a veritable exposition of Negro accomplishment in the automotive field. With countless colored mechanics and helpers, this all colored presentation bids fair to stand out prominently in the annals of high-speed racing. Beach Post Office Opens Monday, July 1, marked the opening for the summer of the Highland Beach, Md., postal station. Mrs. Fannie D. Douglass has been reappointed postmistress. All classes of mail are received and dispatched daily from the postoffice, which is located in Mrs. Douglass' residence. Many Baltimoreans motored to the beach during the week-end, the register at Ware's Hotel showing the names of the following guests from the Monumental city: Mr. and Mrs. Malcom Rice, Miss Laura Rice, Miss Gloria Gardiner, Miss Anna Cones, Mrs. Viola Gardiner, Miss Julia Thomas, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Small, and Mr. and Mrs. Herman Ellis. Washingtonians at Ware's included Dr. C. Sumner Wormley, Mr. and Mrs. W. E.

Championship HAWKS DEFEAT ORIENTALS The Woodburn Hawks defeated the Oriental Tigers in a game here last Saturday to the tune of seven to four. The game was hard fought after the first inning, when errors allowed four runs to slip in for the Hawks. The Tigers staged two rallies, one in the fourth and one in the seventh, each netting two runs. However, the Hawks managed to keep their four-run lead, and were in very much danger. Braggs and Blake pitched the Hawks to their victory, while Russell, of the Tigers, was hampered by three errors, each allowing several runs.

Championship ERSITY STAR RUNS IN SPITE ; SUSTAINED IN GYMNASIUM ; SIMPSOM OUT OF RACE MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY STAR RUNS IN SPITE OF BAD FOOT SUSTAINED IN GYMNASIUM ACCIDENT; SIMPSOM OUT OF RACE DENVER UNIVERSITY STADIUM, July 4.—Eddie Tolan, Michigan University sprint star, won both the hundred and the two hundred yard dashes here today, beating Frank Wycoff, West Coast spinner, by at least two yards in the latter event. A strong wind which swept over the field hampered the runners, and held back the fast field, which was bent on breaking the world's record for the hundred, 9 3-10, set by George Simpson less than a month ago. The sun had gone under a cloud when the heats started, and a storm seemed to be brewing from the southwest. Tolan, one-time holder of the world record of 9 5-10, stepped out in front to win the first heat from Claude Bracey and Russell Sweet, with an easy time of 10 1-10 seconds. Frank Wycoff, the defending A. A. U. champion, took the second heat in slower time, 10 3-10 seconds. Wycoff seemed to be held back by the stiff wind, and never was really a serious contender in the race. In the final heat, Tolan got off to a fast start, and led the field all the way to the finish, although Bracy, from Rice Institute, crowded him the entire distance. Ruskins Orphanage Institute, Charleston, S.C. Noble C. A. Lee, Past Potentate, was master of ceremonies. Noble J. W. Charleston is Illustrious Potentate. William Wade, age 3, of 1636 S street, northwest, was knocked down in the 1600 block of S street by a car driven by Charles C. DeVeine, of 3322 O street, northwest. DeVeine says that the child was playing in the street in such a position as to make him invisible to a driver. Since William was not seriously injured, receiving only abrasions to the forehead and a good scare, DeVeine was released, and William returned home. Among the doctors present at the twenty-third annual session of the West Virginia Medical Society were Dr. William M. Lane, of wait This Announcement! --- Boy Knocked Down sell Sweet, of the Olympic A.C., took third, and Frank Wycoff could do no better than a bad fourth. Tolan doubled his victory when he came back again in the 220 dash, also run against a very stiff wind, and beat Wycoff, who seems to be too highly rated, in a long, stiff battle in which Wycoff tired too quickly. All the more remarkable was Tolan's victory because he entered the races with a toe injury sustained in a gymnasium accident. Doctors say that the nail of the big toe on the right foot was torn off completely. Tolan was once holder of the world's record for the century dash, having made the hundred in 9.5. His record was snatched away from him, though, by George Simpson, now conceded to be the "world's fastest human." Tolan was out yesterday in the hope of beating Simpson's record, and was confident that he could do it. However, the stiff wind and inclement weather slowed up the entire field, and, as Simpson himself was unable to run because of a sore leg, Tolan had to content himself with beating one of the highly-touched California stars, Wycoff, and the Rice Institute boy, Claudie Bracey. Freedmen's Hospital, and Dr. M. D. Wiseman, of the Howard University Dental College. Dr. Wiseman gave a lecture on "Conductive Anaesthesia and Oral Surgery." The session was held at Huntington, West Virginia, from June 19 to 21 inclusive. WHITE CHICKEN THIEF FINED IN VIRGINIA FREDERICKSBURG, Va.—The age-old joke about the colored man stealing 'white people's chickens was given a setback here several days ago when David Smith, white, was arrested for stealing three hens from Aaron Taylor, colored, of Gatewood. Smith, who hales from Partlows, Va., was fined five dollars for stealing chickens, and during the trinal other evidence developed that led to his arrest and conviction for selling a pint of liquor. For this he got a fine of $50, and three months in jail, where he'll never have to look a chicken in the face. "Brownskin Models" Typical Miller Show-Jackie Mablie, Who Got Her Start Here In Washington Stars JACKIE MABLEY, LOCAL GIRL, STARS IN BLACK FACE COMEDY PART Howard to Close after this Week Once again Irvin C. Miller has brought us a typical Miller girlie show, with lots of those big hoop skirts that have so much on the sides and top and so little in the middle, and several of his orthodox poses, where the girls do little but strut around in plumes and such and look pretty, and a big portion of comedy. Plenty of Comedy There seems to be more comedy than anything else, what with Billy Young, the fat little girl who is tight like that in a baby dress, Jackie Mabley, a Washington girl by the way, who works in blackface and imitates Al Jolson, Ethel Waters, and Bessie Smith all at the same time, Harrison Blackburn, who pulls off something funny when you least expect it, and Bert Houze, who gives a tremendous lecture on feminine psychology. Those are the comedians and comediennes. Then come the girls. First, there is Blanche Thompson, who not only does her part in the show, but is stage manager, too, Eva Metcalf, whose best number is "Walk That Broad," and Lela Easterling, who sings and dances. George Bias Back George Bias is back again, with more of his croon, tuney melodies that have won for him a place in the hearts of all the Howard patrons. Marcellus Sherrod seems to bear the brunt of the singing, although his voice doesn't carry easily to the back of the house. He needs more power behind it, and he'd be a fine tenor. Harvey James Here Harvey James, a Washington boy who graduated from Dunbarn just a few years back, goes over big with some fine singing and dancing. He used to do a single until George Bias joined the show, making a cut necessary somewhere. Silvers and Wiley are the tap dancing team, and they make some of the most difficult steps seen so easy that is seems like they're having a fine time. But they aren't. It's mighty hard work. As in most of Miller's shows the chorus is picked for beauty and not for singing ability. This makes the show suffer from a lack of really good singing. However, there's a real hot band down in the pit this week, and they make up for the lack quite well. Real Road Show The show departs from the Howard's usual bill in that it is not a presentation, with a master of ceremonies and so forth, but a real road show. Most of the patrons seemed to enjoy the change. To Close Next Week This is the Howard's last week of the season. It will be closed next week to undergo some repairs and renovations. When it opens some time in September, some say that Shelton Brooks and Charles Ray and Putney Dandridge will all be back with us again. Well, we'll see. 4 Indicted on First Degree Murder Charge --- The grand jury, Monday, indicted Leon T. Brown, Lawrence Bias, Theodore Smith, and William Bradley for murder in the first degree in connection with the death of Clarence Harvey and Edward Smith, police informers, in March. A fifth man, Cornellus L. Lyon, was exonerated. Smith and Harvey and a third police informer had just been given a marked 25 cents piece to make a play on the "numbers" when they came out of the fourth precinct station house on the night of March 13. They were followed by three men in a Peerless automobile. The "stool pigeons" went through an alley. At the mouth of Bear's Cap alley on G street between Third and Four-and-a-half streets, southwest, the automobile was parked, the occupants waiting for the informers. One of the occupants velled, "There goes Burlingame." Smith was called to the automobile and asked for a cigarette. When he returned to his companions, shooting began. Harvey, wounded, ran a block and was picked up on H street. At Emergency Hospital he was pronounced dead upon arrival. Smith died two days later from gunshot wounds. The third informer escaped injury. First degree murder is also charged in an indictment against James T. Hughes. He is said to have shot to death Ida M. Fortner at their home, 76 O street, northwest, June 4. A first degree murder charge is also contained in an indictment against Elous Williams, alias Bud Williams, in connection with the death of Robert Jackson, May 30, at 228 Brooks court, northwest. Second degree murder is alleged in an indictment against Lula Robinson. She is accused of killing her husband. Henry Robinson, with a butcher knife following an altercation at their home, 491 Missouri avenue, northwest, on May 25. Vets Blanked By Aggies 7-0 "Speed" Grant Pitches Second Straight Shut Out. Keeping the Vets' right hits scattered throughout the game and being invincible in the pinches Grant scored his second straight shut out of the season, the Vets being the victims 7-0. Lee and Walters were the only ones to connect safely more than once but their lone efforts proved fruitless, their mates falling down in the pinches leaving ten stranded on the paths. Carrol, Jackson and Lee's spectacular fieldin gkpt the Aggies' score down. Troyman and Briscoe were the opposing battery changing places in the late innings. Hillsdales Defeat Washington Athletics Johnny "Red" Williams, Haywood's star third baseman, will be out for the rest of the season. He was operated on for apendicitis last week. The Hillsdales would like to sign a new pitcher for their staff. Call at the Howard playground any time after 5:30 p.m., for trial. They defeated the Washington Athletics in a slugfest, Sunday, June 30, to the tune of 16 to 10. Every player on the team got at least one hit, and Johnson got three, scoring two of the runs.

According to the owner of the show, Nick Bikos, citizens who had viewed the show earlier in the evening had declared that it was insulting and demanded that it should be withdrawn. The theatre management, realizing that the bulk of the patrons were colored people, decided to withdraw the show. "Lights of New York" was substituted to fill out the remaining time of the original attraction's run. This demand for the withdrawal of the picture by Negro citizens of a community is considered to be very unusual. Attempts to show the picture in southern communities have called for special meetings on the part of Caucasian citizens there and official action by the city to bar its showing. Southern whites have claimed that it did not show the south "in its true light." While the whites have raved against it in other cities, the Negro citizens have strongly advocated its showing and attended it. James B. Lowe, an internationally famous Negro actor, plays the title role. Since the picture has been made his fame has become so great he has appeared in person in European capitals as an added attraction. Slave Part Objectionable The local objection came mostly from the showing of scenes depicting slavery in the south in its most brutal form and the selling of slaves from the auction block. Since the question of slavery was settled more than 60 years ago, the local citizens say by their actions: "Why bring that up again?" THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1929 NAVY YARD LOSES TO PRINTERS BOY STRUCK IN HEAD TREATED FOR CUT While playing with his chums, on the corner of Eighth and T streets, northwest, Tuesday, July 2, Richard Franklin, 12, of 1005 S street, northwest, was struck in the head with a stick, sustaining a long cut across the forehead. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. J. S. Mitchell and sent home. Aggies Nosed Out 8 to 0 Printers Win Hard-fought Game From Agriculture Although out hit the Printers profiled by six passed balls to emerge victorious over Agriculture 9-8. Tenmille was batted freely and gave way to "Bear" Bailey who up until the later innings held the Printers scoreless, but with darkness fast approaching had too much smoke for the combined efforts of Dickerson and Baylor to hold. Manager Hughes lasted less than three innings on the mound. "Puffy" Richardson pitching good ball, whiffed six.

HIS PITCHING STYLE GIVES CLUB A NAME Robert Clemons, of 2111 Eleventh street, northwest, is the only man in Washington with the distinction of having a horseshoe pitching club named after him. The Rareback Horseshoe Club is indebted to Clemons for its cognomen. Few of the members address him as Robert. They call him "Rareback." A peculiar delivery, in which Clemons does all his nickname implies, may not be the best of pitching form, but it is effective. "Rareback" is a star of the club, which numbers among its membership R. Jones, E. L. Conway, Bill Jones, E. G. Toppins, John Hyson, Robert Clemons, J. Gaither, B. Duffy, Jack Hank, John Mathews and Leo Taylor. All have entered the colored section of The Star's tournament to start July 29, with entries closing July 20. The colored players will have tournaments on 22 colored playgrounds and in towns and communities in nearby Maryland and Virginia. Arthur A. Green, physical director of the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A., is receiving entries. They also may be turned in to directors of the colored playgrounds. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN!

Handy's "Saint Louis Blues" Filmed By Phototone - Howard to Close BESSIE SMITH STARS IN SHOW SCENES SHOW BIRTH OF BLUES IN A MEMPHIS TENEMENT HOUSE NEW YORK—The "Saint Louis Blues," that popular masterpiece composed by W. C. Handy, has been turned into a jazz saga for the benefit of millions of theatre fans all over the country, who will hear it through the R.C.A. Phototone. The production, which was made in sound, was directed by Dudley Murphy, creator of the "Ballet Mecanique." The picture stars Bessie Smith, noted blues singer, and W. C. Handy himself, who plays one of the typically-Negro cornet blues on the "Saint Louis" theme. Story Written The story opens in a Memphis benement house, and the birth of the blues is dramatized by a large group of Negro performers. From there the "blues" are traced up to modern times, and we are taken to a Memphis cabaret, where Bessie Smith is the headline attraction. Miss Smith sings the "Saint Louis Blues," and is assisted by an orchestra of ten and a chorus of forty. Several other specialties and novelties are worked into this cabaret scene, introducing many of the singular characters of New York's black belt. The choral arrangement is by W. C. Handy and J. Rosamond Johnson. Mr. Handy, author of the "Saint Louis Blues" is known as the "originator of the blues." Among his compositions are "Sugar," "Atlanta Blues," "Harlem Blues," and nearly a hundred others. "CAPTAIN LASH" IS EXCITING, AND IT HAS COMEDY, TOO A tale of the sea, of seamen and of a siren is unfolded in "Captain Lash" starring Victor McLaglen, which opens at the Lincoln Theatre next Saturday. McLaglen, from his palmy days of "What Price Glory?" and "Loves of Carmen," is an especial favorite locally. Fox has provided him with an ideal vehicle in "Captain Lash," and a director, John G. Blystone, who recently produced the sensational success, "Mother Knows Best," from Edna Ferber's story. "Captain Lash" teems with exciting situations and with moments of comedy provided by McLaglen and his pal, Cocky, played by Clyde Cook. Most of the scenes take place aboard an ocean liner plying between Sydney and Singapore, with McLaglen one minute driving his stoker at a furious pace and the next making love to Claire Windsor, an adventurer. There is a twist at the finish. MAINE TO ERECT STATUE TO GEN. O. O. HOMARD MAINE TO ERECT STATUE TO GEN. O. O. HOMARD An equestrian statue to cost $50,000 will be erected at Gettysburg to General Oliver Otis Howard, commanding officer of the Third Regiment of the state of Maine and founder of Howard University. The statue is to be completed by November 8, 1930, the one-hundredth anniversary of the General's birth and was made possible by a resolution passed in the last session of the Maine legislature. Students of the Howard University summer session will make a trip to Gettysburg during the early part of August. They will leave a marker on the site of the statue, and as their annual custom, will assemble on Cemetery Ridge and sing their Alma Mater in honor of General Howard. The committee of the Grand Army of the Republic, in submitting its estimate to the legislature, suggested that an equestrian statue would be appropriate and that the base would be of Maine granite "to typify the rugged soil from which sprang this soldier son of Maine and the only general officer from Maine who rose to the command of an army in the field." STAGE BOAT FIGHT IN MIDDLE OF POTOMAC A boat fight staged in the middle of the Potomac ended disastrously from an occupational standpoint for Ottis Ball, 1925 Nine-and-a-half street, northwest. Ball, who is a chauffeur, will not be able to chauffeur for a while, as a result of a bruised and swollen right hand, sustained during the fight. While driving on a country road in Maryland, with Richard Gunter, Monday evening, July 1, Geneva SONG IS DRAMATIZED A. W. C. HANDY, whose song, "The Saint Louis Blues" has been filmed by R. C. A. Phototone. The picture stars Bessie Smith, assisted by a chorus of forty and an orchestra of ten. Robinson, age 21, of 1604 Sixteenth street, southeast, was severely injured about the neck, head and body, resulting from the car hitting a mile post along the road.

If we take $1,000 as the average spent per family yearly, we have $22,000,000 spent by our people here each year, which is a very conservative estimate, but sufficient to carry out the thought desired. Twenty-two millions of dollars spent annually should bring greater returns than we now receive. Twenty-two million dollars can wield a telling power if systematically directed. Twenty-two million dollars will command respect, attention and employment if properly and wisely spent. A certain department store here is reported to have done $6,000,000 worth of business last year and more than 50 per cent was from colored people. And yet, we do not have a single clerk in that store. Cannot that $8,000,000 worth of business command a few positions? It certainly can, and will, when properly organized. Money is power, sure, but only when organized and spent wisely. Niagara Falls has had millions of kilowat power for years, but it has only rendered service since it was harnessed and the power used. This proposition from this department store offers an opportunity to harness some of this $22,000,000 spent annually by our people. When and if we take it up, and begin to place Negro salesmen and saleswomen behind the counters and trade begins to center in this store; it will cut down the $3,000,000 spent at another store and the $1,600,000 at still another store. It will make the management think. The loss of a million dollars will command respect, and by placing Negroes in one store we will open opportunities in others. Take a peep at the amount spent by our women for hats, dresses, underwear and hose, and it will run more than $8,390,000. Take one item of shoes. With 127,800 Negroes here at two pairs of shoes a year priced at $5.00 per pair, or $10,000, we have $1,278,000 for shoes alone. Then there are the men for hats, suits, haberdashery, at least $4,000,000. Our house furnishings for bed linen, table linen, etc., will run well over a million. Why not organize this telling, spending power for our own benefit? For more employment if you please? CAST OUT BY CHRISTIANS Last Thursday, the Christians bearing the Presbyterian label, at Hood College in Frederick, Maryland, cast out a man reputed to be a Christian gentleman, a pastor, a scholar, and an officer of a local Christian organization, simply because his skin is a shade darker than theirs. And this is our vaunted Christianity. Dr. H. B. Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church and the secretary of the local Presbyterian Ministers Alliance, the only Negro in this alliance, was asked to leave the dining room of Hood College, a Presbyterian School, simply because he is a colored man. Dr. H. B. Taylor, pastor of the F. Church and the secretary of the local P. the only Negro in this alliance, was ask of Hood College, a Presbyterian School, ored man.

Taylor, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian secretary of the local Presbyterian Ministers Alliance, in this alliance, was asked to leave the dining room, a Presbyterian School, simply because he is a collyd Christian in Hood College? Is it not misnamed school? We wonder if Dr. Apple, the president, or any of the school ever read the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling in we wonder if President Apple ever read this: "Love Christ not, love vaunteth not itself, not puffed up.

Formed that some of the building, or a building, was made with the distinct understanding that no Negro should need to its dormitories or dining room. It is hardly con Christian school would accept a gift of hate, conceived as this demonstrates. How on earth can Hood College Christian school, teaching "As you would that men do unto men so unto them," knowing of this gift of hate? We made color a condition to be entertained in Hood Christ never taught any such hatred. Love and hate the same heart. When a man professes to be a Christ to eat with his fellowman engaged in the same line the same church, he certainly proves himself a hypocrite people to have confidence in his supposed Christian raised white Christians who fail to live up to their proing more to retard the advancement of God's kingdom and where American missionaries go, than any other reminder.

It promises security and percowards, and it doesn't even keep its promise, because mom, really loves us and every surprise is possible, even friend. Her hand, hate educates, strengthens. It obliges us to be kept, always prepared, always "in form." It makes us stand out. Hood College lost its identity as a Christian day, June 27, when it refused to serve Dr. H. B. Taylor meal. Lincoln said, "I can not hear what you say for me do." "Actions speak louder than words." Lip service. Is there any Christianity in Hood College? Is it not misnamed as a Christian school? We wonder if Dr. Apple, the president, or any of his officers of the school ever read the 13th chapter of 1 Corinthians which says, "Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal."

GRIST FOR THE MILL A man spends the best part of his life running after women, and when he has found one, he spends the rest of his life running from her. Married life is just what two people think they can make out of it. But has there ever been any two people who thought the same thing? Single life is but an empty dream, but married life is a night mare. It only takes one man to tie a wedding knot, but it takes about twenty-five to untie it. The hardest question for a hus- band to answer contains only four words: "Where have you been?" You cannot appreciate single life until after you are married, and then it is entirely too late. Ralph Matthews seems to know a whole lot about wives. Anyway this is the way his column in an out-of-town paper read a few weeks ago: "If you ask me, the gentlemen should have little trouble finding a bride because all one needs to get married with now-a-days is a girl, a ring and a preacher, and, the ring and the preacher are hardest to get." But not so with Ralph, for he has had two, and there seems to have been a deferred payment on the first one. --- Liberal Progressive Independent By W. M. Merck --- The Washington Tribune FORUM WITH REGRET, WE ADMIT WE HAVE TOO MANY OF THIS SORT. To the Edtior I wish you would kindly publish this letter in your next issue, in order that others, who might have a similar desire to attract attention to themselves by loud talking might take heed. A few days ago, I had occasion to visit the police court, and while standing in the hall of the building, I heard a loud, boisterous voice, telling someone what to do when they got back to the office. I followed the direction of the voice, which was about 50 feet from where I was standing, and found that its owner was one of our prominent colored attorneys. The person to whom he was giving instructions, I deem it, must have been his secretary. They were standing about a foot apart. Now, as I have very often noticed, why is it that the attorney should holler all of his business, that others might hear? Is it that he wants to attract attention to himself, or what is it? I know that he can talk in a soft tone when he wants to, and I think that no better time to do it, is when talking business. I have often noticed that he is very boisterous and loud in his speech, and I for one am not in favor of such loud talking. There are other of our colored attorneys who do the same, not only in the court, but in the street, and it is very embarrassing indeed to other people, especially those to whom they may be speaking.

Marcia Hubbard—his wife. Squire Gaylord, Mrs. Gaylord—Marcia's parents. Benjamin Halleck — Hubbard's friend. Olive Halleck—his sister. Mr. and Mrs. Halleck—their parents. Clara Kingston—a friend of the Hallecks. Ricker—a reporter and a friend of Bartley. The main scenes are laid in a small New England village, in Boston, and in Teumseh, Arizona. Marcia and Bartley elope to Boston, against the wishes of Marcia's father, Judge Gaylord. Judge Gaylord disapproves of Hubbard, because he has seen from his actions and lose morals that the latter is not very trustworthy. The couple settles in Boston and Bartley becomes a free-lance reporter of the "Events," the owner and editor of which is Mr. Witherby. Bartley had formerly been the editor of the "Equity Free Press" in his home. The two become intimate friends of the Hallecks, whose son was a college chum of Bartley. At first Bartley is admired and liked by his fellow reporters, for his talent and intelligence in newspaper work, but he is soon treated coldly because of his bad habits. The home life of the two is marred by continual quarrels, partly due to Marcia's extreme jealousy. Bartley steadily degenerates through drinking and gambling. While in Boston he is visited by a friend named Kenney, with whom he became acquainted in Canada. Kenney relates the colorful adventures of his life and half-seriously states that he intends some day to write them in narrative form and sell the manuscript to a newspaper. Ricker, who is present, in the same mood, recommends the "Chronicle-Abstract." The matter is dropped. Later Bartley writes up VACATION SCHOOL CENTERS Shaw Jr. High Sch. 7th and R. I. A.

JAMES REESE POST Harlan Wood, commander of the District of Columbia American Legion, made the principal address at the tenth anniversary celebration of the James Reese Europe Post, No. 5, held last Thursday night at the Whitelaw Hotel. After a number of introductory remarks, vocal and instrumental the adventures and presents the manuscript to the "Chronicle-Abstract," for which Ricker is reporter. He is paid fifty dollars for the work. Kenney, who has left Boston to go to California, reads the narrative and writes to Bartley, denouncing Ricker, whom he thinks wrote the article. Bartley tells him no different, but when Ricker hears of it their friendship ends. Bartley steadily loses money through betting and is finally forced to borrow from his friend, Benjamin Halleck. As a result of one of their quarrels, Marcia leaves their home. Bartley departs for Arizona. Marcia returns a few hours later to find him gone. For months she waits. Finally Bartley files a divorce petition. After this Marcia returns home to her father, who is now practically paralyzed. He soon dies, and a few months later, she receives news of Bartley's death. Finis. The story is of greatest importance because it portrays the different opinions of the newspaper men in regard to the newspaper. Mr. Witherby, owner and editor of "The Events," felt that the chief purpose of the paper was to make money for the owner—its relation to the public he considered a secondary matter. Ricker, the reporter for the "Chronicle-Abstract," regarded the newspaper as a public enterprise with definite duties toward the public. He felt that it should not betray or mislead the public neither in morals, politics, nor in advertisements. Bartley believed that newapers were private enterprises. An ideal newspaper should first cater to the lower classes, and emphasize crime. Next it should give impartial reports of local political affairs. Then religious affairs should be emphasized. After this, fashion and style should be given full play. Finally it should publish minutely financial reports of the day. By covering these grounds the paper would be indispensable to all classes.

Madison Maker of glad hearts, we love you, And we strew along your way; Flowers fragrant with thanksgiving And we bless you, day by day. Some glad heart has urged us forward When dark shadows hid the trail, Some glad heart has whispered, "Courage" When we were about to fail. Oft, when weak with fear or doubting, We could never do our part In the din and strife of battle, Were it not for some glad heart. When the heavy sand has fallen On a velvet coffin lid; And our fondest hopes lay sleeping In that lonely narrow bed— Some glad heart stood there to comfort Smiling through soft, pitying tears, Whispering hope of other blessings That would come in other years. Take earth's gold, it soon will tarnish And its sordid pleasures to.; Souls sincere seek only after That which is sincere and true. Leave us as a gift, one blessing For our human hurts and smarts. For a light, amid our darkness Leave to earth, a few glad hearts. 3419 12th St. N.E. IN THE TREE TOP By Mrs. Anna J.

They lustily chirp their sweet re- frains: They hop from limb to limb They know just where their loved ones are, As food to them they bring. They will surely attract your attention, As about their tasks they go; Protecting and feeding their young ones, Until they older grow. In the tree tops, not far from my window Great joy do their sweet songs bring. Sing on, little birds, in my tree tops, Don't stop for the noise that you hear— I hope you will come every morning. And sing softly your sweet songs of cheer. The Anacostia A. C. defeated the Oval Blues of Baltimore with a score of 9 to 2. The game was played at the Anacostia diamond.

"All Over Town" PEOPLES PUNG STORE —The Better To Serve You Appointment Delayed (Continued from page 1) Postmaster General Walter F. Brown. He succeeded the late John D. Gainey. Campaign Worker Mr. Brown supervised the activities of the colored voters' division of the Republican national committee in the Presidential campaign. It was thought that surely he would give consideration to the wishes of the men with whom he had been associated in the campaign. But before anyone could submit a recommendation to him, Mr. Brown promoted Mr. Bryant from a railway mail clerkship and forestalled all political activity in regard to the choice of a successor to Gainey. Second Assistant Postmaster General Warren Irving Glover explained that the promotion of Bryant was based on merit. Ernest J. Davis, a young man, was appointed to succeed the late Thomas L. Jones as an assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. This appointment was made by Attorney General William D. Mitchell upon the recommendation of United States Attorney Leo A. Rover. It has no special political significance. Mr. Davis was endorsed by the leaders of the District of Columbia Republican organization. His appointment is credited to Dr. Emmett J. Scott and John R. Hawkins. Virginia Apointment Thornton G. Nightingale was appointed postmaster at Blenheim, Albemarle County, Va. This is a fourth-class post office. The appointment was made by Postmaster General Brown upon the recommendation of Representative J. A. Garber, Republican, of the seventh Congressional district of Virginia. Mr. Garber's explanation of this appointment is that no white person qualified for the office. There are only five colored men holding commissions from the President of the United States. They were appointed by either President Harding or President Coolidge and continued in office by President Hoover. They are William T. Francis, minister to Liberia; Charles W.

OF FEDERATION (Continued from page 1) you are able to challenge then I will meet you and talk to you." "My presence here ought to be an answer to the mischief makers who say that the A. F. of L. is not interested in the colored man," he asserted. "In 1893, the Federation declared that the working people must unite to organize irrespective of creed, color, race or nationality. The record shows we have repeatedly reaffirmed that view. The Federation stands unalterably on the principle of no discrimination. When our movement departs from that fundamental principle, it will perish." Mr. Green insisted that the Federation and he personally are "immeasurably interested" in the Pullman car porters and would give them "all support possible." The hecklers, who said they were members of the Trade Union Educational League, distributed a leaflet which declared that the American Federation of Labor was racially prejudiced and that its controlling "reactionary clique" had reluctantly recognized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and was organizing them inefficiently. Green scores the tipping system as being primarily a method and excuse for the Pullman Company to pay low wages. He said: "The Sleeping Car porter and maid benefit very little by public generosity and tips. It is the Pullman Company which benefits by taking the public generosity into account when it fixes wages." Green will speak next in Chicago for the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters.
