He is a career man in the foreign service, and the policy of the State Department is to promote career men. Mr. Francis died from yellow fever in Monrovia at 5 a.m., July 15. The legation advised the State Department of his death while Mrs. Francis advised Dr. Emmett J. Scott, a close personal friend. He had been ill since June 16, and until the last few days hopes for his recovery were held out.

LOUIS, Mo.—In his speech here, Congressman Oscar DePriest urged the colored citizens to elect a colored man from the twelfth district now served by L. C. Dyer. Colored people have 36 per cent of the vote in the district and 60 per ment of the Republican vote. DePriest said: "The white vote is so evenly divided between the Democrats and the Republicans that if you can get properly organized you will hold the balance of power in St. Louis. But nobody is going to give you more than you demand. The only weapon you have to fight for you is the ballot, and it ought to be used to get for you every right that every other citizen has. "You will always find when you are trying to organize that some Negro is being paid by a white man to keep you divided. The success of your enemies depend upon this." His speech has been favorably received and will help much in uniting the Negroes of the 12th district to have a representative of their own in Dyer's place. The sight of a Negro Congressman was an inspiration to St. Louis. Baby Falls From Carriage On Eroken Milk Bottle; Cut Quite an unusual mishap was experienced by little William Francis Nelson, 11 months old, Sunday afternoon. William, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Nelson, of 216 Seaton court, north-west, attempted to alight from his carriage, having already thrown out his nursing bottle.

WILSON SAYS HE WILL RUN ON HIS RECORD Says He Has Given Elks First Place Among Fraternities He will stand for re-election for a seventh term as grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World upon his past record, J. Finley Wilson, who is being opposed for the office by Casper Holstein of New York, declared here Saturday. The achievements of the order under his administration entitles him to re-election at the Elks' Convention which will be held in Atlantic City, N.J., August 25 to 31, he stated. In enumerating his achievements as head of the order, he said: "I have given the organization the first place in Negro fraternities. I have brought into the antlered herd every big churchman, statesman and politician of the race including the presidents of Cuba and Liberia." Saturday night, Mr. Wilson attended a smoker in his honor in Akron, Ohio. Sunday, he left a parade for the past exalted rulers' council of Northern Ohio in Akron to go to Aliquippa, Pa., to deliver the memorial address for the John F. Mooreland Idge. He returned to Akron Sunday night and participated in the promenade and ball given by the past exalted rulers' council, Monday night. Rescinds Endorsement Of Finley Wilson Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World last Tuesday night rescinded its endorsement of J. Finley Wilson for re-election as grand exalted ruler. Wilson had been endorsed at a meeting sometime ago.

Washington Tribune M.M.HARRIS IS FREED ON 25 CHARGES M.M.HARRIS IS FREED ON 25 CHARGES Twenty-five charges of traffic violations against Mortimer M. Harris, real estate dealer and lawyer, were dropped by the Traffic Bureau last Thursday upon advice of Corporation Counsel, William W. Bride. The Traffic Bureau dug up from its records 23 old charges of traffic violations again. Harris after Bride had asked the dropping of two charges which had been made against him last Wednesday. These charges were for minor violations and had been apparently forgotten. The Traffic Bureau got busy after Harris appeared there last Wednesday and complained that policeman J. A. Voss had arrested him at Fourteenth and G. streets, northwest, because he colored and not because of any traffic violation. Search of the records were immediately begun. A few minutes after he left the Traffic Bureau, Harris received a telephone call at his office to return immediately and deposit $25 additional collateral on an added charge of obtaining a driver's permit through misrepresentation. Harris' application for a permit states that he is white. He claims that he made no representation as to his color, but that he was mistaken for white when he applied for a permit. Forfeited Collateral Voss arrested Harris at first on a charge of disobeying an official sign. Harris parked his car beyond a police sign which forbade parking between the car and loading platform. He forcited collateral of $3 on this charge. Harris charged at the Traffic Bureau that Voss arrested him because he was colored. Harris parked his car and entered the Colorado Building. He left a woman client sitting on the front seat. Voss approached the car and left without saying anything, Harris says. He returned later and asked the woman whether this was STABBED IN THIGH WITH BREAD KNIFE Edward Taylor, age 39, of 1736 Sixth street, northwest, was stabbed in the thigh last Saturday evening, July 15, by his "friend," Ophelia Watkins. The girl friend was cutting bread, according to Taylor, for the dinner table, when a quarrel started over a triviality. In the ensuing fight the girl grabbed the knife and stabbed at him, cutting him in the thigh. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. H. S. McShann. Man Knocked Down In Fight; Treated at Freedmen's In an altercation, Sunday afternoon with Arthur Johnson in Pierce street, northwest, Johnnie Wells, 26, of 1558 Fourth street, northwest, was hit over the head with a sharp instrument and knocked to the ground. A resultant laceration and severe hemorrhage made it necessary for three stitches to be taken in his scalp by Dr. Geo. S. Martin, emergency room physician at Freedman's Hospital. MRS.

PRESBYTERIANS TO MEET AGAIN AT FREDERICK PRESBYTERIANS TO MEET AGAIN AT FREDERICK Says Conditions at Hood College Are Most Satisfactory The Baltimore Presbyterian Synod, and the Woman's Synodical Society for Missions of the Presbyterian Church, U.S.A., has endorsed the racial prejudice as practiced at Hood College, Frederick, Md., and will meet there again June 23 to 27, 1930. This is the same Synod and same school which refused Dr. Halley B. Taylor, the pastor of Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, accommodations when he registered to attend the recent session held there. Dr. Taylor, who is secretary of the local Presbyterian Ministers Alliance, and the only colored man belonging to the Alliance, was informed that he could not be served in the dining room at Hood College last month after he had secured his place at the table, assigned by place ticket. He withdrew his name from the register and returned to Washington. This decision to hold the next session of the Baltimore Synod at Hood College was reached Tuesday at a meeting of the Council of the Synod in a Baltimore Hotel. The Rev. A. Brown Caldwell, moderator of the Synod, said: "Hood College has been found most satisfactory for the council meeting we desire and the college has most hospitably invited us to return next year and so we voted the matter unanimously to hold the meeting there June 23 to 27 next year." Mrs. Price Gets $100 For Aldridge Capture A reward of $100 was given Mrs. Grace Price, Tuesday, for the assistance she gave police in apprehending Alfred Aldridge, who is charged with shooting Policeman Harry McDonald, of the third precinct, at Seventeenth and Q streets, northwest. Mrs. Price rented the Aldridge brothers a room when they came to Washington some weeks ago. Alfred returned to the room to meet his brother, being unaware of his death. Mrs. Price notified the police and Alfred was captured on a street car near Seventh and Pennsylvania avenue on Sunday afternoon. REV. & MRS. J. H. MARSHALL SUED BY LANKFORD J. A. Lankford Claims His Professional Reputation Damaged John A. Lankford, architect, who made a specialty of designing and constructing church buildings, filed suit in the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia last Saturday against the Rev. James H. Marshall, pastor of the First Colored Baptist Church, and his wife, Mrs. Marie Madre Marshall, a public school teacher, for alleged defamation of his personal and professional reputation. He asks damages in the sum of $101,250. He was given a contract by the First Colored Baptist Church on July 9, 1928, for the architectural work in connection with the building of a new church, Lankford states in his declaration. Rev. Marshall made an inquiry into his fitness to perform the work, he says. He asked the Rev. W. L. Washington concerning his qualifications as an architect. Plans Not Approved The Rev. Marshall was informed by the Rev. Washington that Lankford had drawn plans in 1919 for the Pilgrim Baptist Church, but the plans were not used then because of a lack of finances. Lankford says. When the Pilgrim Baptist Church was ready to go ahead with the work, Lankford states, the building inspector would not approve his plans because of changes in the zoning law. Lankford charges that the Rev. and Mrs. Marshall caused it to be believed that his building plans for the Pilgrim Baptist Church were not approved because of architectural incompetence and that he was morally unreliable and dishonest and that if permitted to proceed with his contract, the church would be forced to employ lawyers to make him perform fully his contract. As a result, he alleges, at a meeting of the building committee on July 16, 1928, the First Colored Baptist Church repudiated its contract with him. Attorneys Houston and Houston represent Lankford. Tire Blows Out in Man's Eye; Seriously Hurt Edward Shelton, a mechanic, living at 1532 Marion street, northwest, suffered a seriously injured eye last Friday, July 12, when a tire blew out directly into his eye. At Freedmen's Hospital, where he was treated, he explained that he was examining a tire which had worn down to a very thin tread, when suddenly the tire gave way, striking him full force in the eye. The accident happened at Tenth and V streets. Robert Hainsworth, 20, Howard University cadet of the R.O.T.C. camp at Fort Hunt, Virginia, narrowly escaped death or serious injury, Saturday, July 15, while on his way out of camp on week-end furlough. Hainsworth and several other cadets were riding in an automobile driven by another Howard student when he attempted to alight from the runnigg board, while the car was still in motion. Losing his balance he fell backward and across the road. Luckily he escaped with only a badly bruised hand, and a sprained thumb. HIGHLAND BEACH TO HOLD ELECTION HIGHLAND BEACH, Md.—Highland Beach will stage its annual election of a board of commissioners next Saturday, July 27. The election will be held at the residence of Mr. Joseph A. Douglass, which houses the local post office. The five commissioners now serving, whose term of office will expire next Saturday, are Thomas Williams, Dr. William A. Wells, Mrs. Fannie Douglass, Haley Douglass, and L. Roscoe Evans. Owing to factional differences and social precedent squabbles, no active fights are being waged this year by the candidates. In fact no one has announced his candidacy openly. Heretofore, there has always been two tickets in the field and a regular political battle was waged. The list of eligible voters has not been published as usual. REGULATIONS HIT AT BEACH RESORT HOTELS Miss Burroughs Denies Closing of Her Lot Figures In Controversy At the recent meeting of the board of commissioners of Highland Beach, Md., a thriving summer colony populated and governed by colored, ten ordinances were adopted. Notices of the new ordinances were sent out to the taxpayers last week. The reason for the new ordinances was given out as to safeguard the interests of Highland Beach, as a residential community, and in order to preserve good order, health, and beauty within the corporate limits of the town. The first ordinance deals with erection of any structure or addition. Hereafter, the commissioners must approve the plans and must be furnished with an estimate of the cost before a permit will be given. The second ordinance describes the building line. Taxes Required A hit is made at the two hotels of the resort in the third ordinance which states that the proprietor of any business operating for pro- BOTTLE STRIKES TAXI DRIVER; ASSAILANT UNKNOWN A bottle thrown by an unknown assailant at 711 T street, northwest, struck Herman Cromwell, of 1331 Sixth street, a cab driven for the Howard Taxi Service, in the head. As a result two stitches had to be taken in his head at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. Geo. Martin, emergency clinic physician. KITTRELL RAISES $10,000 DURHAM, N.C.—Kittrell College, it was learned this week, has succeeded, through the activities of the new administration, under D. K. Cherry, in raising $10,000 for the completion of the school's new Library. Mrs. Mabel Phillips was seriously hurt when struck by an automobile as she left her place of employment, the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. CAPITAL EDITION SO LIBERIA TWO TED RETURN HOME S WIFE; CLAIMS LED RAZOR FIRST EACH GET Two Living Survivors Tell Conflicting Stories Of Shooting UNEXPECTEDRETURN HOME SURPRISES WIFE; CLAIMS MAN PULLED RAZOR FIRST Roads Improved During Year ;Savings in Cost Of Street Lights Boy Knocked Down; Driver Leaves Scene --- HIGHLAND BEACH RESIDENTS GET REPORT The Commissioners of Highland Beach, Md, last week taught to all property owners within its corporate limits, their annual report. The board is composed of Haley Douglass, Thomas Williams, Dr. Wm. A. Wells, Mrs. Fannie Douglass and L. Roscoe Evans. The report stated that the community funds were expended principally for the repair and development of roads within Highland Beach. By arranging to attach street lights to private meters, the cost of lighting has been reduced from $30 per light to $6 per light. The commissioners earnestly invited the co-operation and advice of all citizens with respect to sanitation, fire hazards, and conduct of visitors. The board insisted that there is at present time no land within Highland Beach dedicated to public use and stated that for this reason they will do all that they can to protect the property rights of the citizens. The report suggested that electric power be utilized to provide inside toilets with running water and septic tanks. Continuing it stated that much unpleasantness will be avoided if the parents in the community will impress upon their children a full regard for the property of their neighbors and forbid them from disturbing the fruit, flowers and birds on private property. It also suggested that vicious dogs be properly muzzled. As far as possible, the report stated, the commissioners suggest that money expended for improvements be distributed in proportion to the paid up taxes in the immediate neighborhood of the taxpayer. Concluding, the report stated that the treasurer's report of all moneys received and expended is now open for inspection. Man Struck by Unknown Assailant In Alley Odessie Anderson was walking peacefully through the alley between V and W streets, Tenth and Florida avenue, when he was tapped on the head by someone who did not make himself known. Odessie didn't know what hit him, why, or how, when confronted by police. In fact, Odessie didn't know anything until he woke up in Freedmen's Hospital. There he was treated for a severe gash in his head and told to stay out of alleys. MISS DIXON DEAD Miss Vernette Dixon, who has been ill for quite a few months, passed away on last Friday morning at the Tuberculosis Hospital, where she was undergoing treatment. The funeral was held on Monday last at the funeral parlor of Grayson McGuire. She is survived by three brothers, John, Walter and Holley Dixon. Jeanlouay leading to suspicion prompted Zaccheeous White, of 545 Twenty-fourth street, northeast, to return home from work Sunday afternoon and shoot Willis A. Chambers, 335 F street, northeast, in the right thigh; Edward Hall, of 313 Forty-second street, northeast, in the right shoulder, near the left eye and in the left hand, and his wife, Annie White, in the abdomen. Mrs. White and Hall died within an hour and Chambers is in the hospital. At the inquest Tuesday at the morgue, a signed statement by White was read to the jury, in which he said that he left home about 3 p.m., Sunday to go to work at the Washington Terminal where he worked at night. He stopped at a drug store at Fifteenth and H streets, northeast, and purchased a dollar watch. He then drove back to Nineteenth and Bennings Road and parked his car and walked back to his home to watch his wife. His wife was at work, MAN STRUCK BY SLEDGE HAMMER WHILE AT WORK While working on the new dining room, base construction at Freedmen's Hospital, Joseph Wooddland, 22, 129 Claget street, northeast, a laborer, was struck, accidentally on the forehead and knocked to the ground with a sledge hammer. The hammer was wielded by a fellow laborer, Ray Thompson. He was taken to the emergency room of the hospital and treated for shock and a laceration of the forehead. James Dusenberry, age eight, of 619 Lamont street, northwest, was struck down by a car which skidded into him after being hit by another car in front of Freedmen's Hospital last Monday, July 15. The two cars, after colliding, drove away, leaving the injured boy lying on the street. No one knew who was driving the cars, nor the numbers of the license plates. The child was taken to Freedmen's Hospital and treated for a lacerated scalp and bruises about the face and body. Overdose of Whiskey Causes Death As the result of two much bootleg whiskey, Albert L. Moten, 18 of 1948 Third street, northwest, died suddenly Saturday morning at 1811 Twelfth street, northwest. He was talking to some of his boy friends Saturday morning about 9 o'clock and suddenly sank to the floor and was dead before a physician could arrive. His father, Clarence O. Moten, died about two months ago and his mother passed away about one month ago. He leaves three brothers. The funeral was held Tuesday at the residence with Rev. W. A. Taylor celebrating. Marion H. Pender Accused of Mail Thefts at Park Road Station TWO TRAPPED WITH TEST LETTERS Clerk Claims Thefts Have Been Few; Only Small Sum Involved The mystery of repeated thefts of money from letters addressed to residents of the Northwest section was believed by postal inspectors to be solved with the arrest of Marion H. Pender, 51 years old, of 1504 S street, northwest, a clerk in the Park road postal station, the inspectors announced Tuesday. Pender is charged with embezzling and secreting money from the mails. He was arraigned Monday before United States Commissioner Turnage and held for the action of the grand jury under bond of $2,000. He was locked in a cell at the first precinct pending his posting bond. He was trapped with "test" letters and marked money, the inspectors say, and has made a "full confession." Arrested Sunday Pender was arrested by postal inspectors after a "process of elimination" had centered suspicion on him, according to W. J. S. Satterfield, inspector in charge of the Washington division of the Postal Inspection Service. He was visited at his home Sunday. Thirty-three letters, including the "test" letters and marked money, were found in his possession, the inspectors say. The investigation was begun, Inspector Satterfield said, after numerous complaints regarding undelivered mail were received from patrons of the Park road station. In most of the cases money was involved, but not in registered letters. Test Letters Taken The inspectors last Saturday put in the mail a number of the test letters, with currency inclosed. Pender's duties required him to distribute these letters, along with other mail, to the various carriers operating out of the station. The letters failed to reach the hands of the carriers, and Sunday morning the officers found them in Pender's possession at his home. They had not been opened as yet, they declared. Pender made a complete confession, Inspector Satterfield said, but insisted that the thefts had been few in number. The inspector said he believed that Pender had "forgotten" some of his alleged misdeeds, mail losses at the station having been noted over a long period. Most of the thefts involved small sums, Satterfield said, and the aggregate losses are not thought to have been very hgh. Pender felt the money in the envelopes with his fingers, the inspector said, and held out these letters from the general distribution. TO HOLD ANNUAL OPENING. AUGUST 1 The formal opening of the modern funeral home of Thomas Frazier, will be held August 1, according to announcement made this week. For the past year Mr. Frazier has been remodeling the building at 889 Rhode Island avenue into one of the finest funeral homes in Washington. The final installation of the organ recently, completed the furnishing. The home is located conveniently at one of the busiest traffic intersections in the city and occupies a commanding position. Mr. Frazier began business in 1917, and has shown constant progress since. His new home represents a new type. It is so built and equipped that in it you are assured of all the comfort, convenience, quiet and privacy of your own home, plus, proper facilities for the last service. On July 1, last, Mr. Frazier was authorized to furnish burial for all ex-sailors and soldiers whose burial is in charge of the Veterans' Bureau, and all out-of-town service men who are to be buried in Arlington Cemetery. This contract was awarded through competitive bids plus the service and equipment offered. Mr. Frazier has received a high rating from the government. A descriptive folder, giving views of the place has been printed for distribution. During the opening week, a special organ recital will be featured each day. Howard Summer Students To Visit Harpers Ferry Harpers Ferry and Gettysburg are to be visited by students and teachers of the Howard University Session, for which arrangements have just been completed. The trip to Harpers Ferry will be on July 20, and to Gettysburg on August 10. Both trips are to be made in automobiles. At Harpers Ferry the object of particular interest will be John Brown's fort on the campus of Storer College. At Gettysburg the party will visit Cemetery Ridge, where General Oliver Otis Howard, founder of Howard University, rendered distinguished military service for which he received the special thanks of Congress. They will also visit the cite at Gettysburg on which the State of Maine is erecting a $50,000 statue to General Howard. NEGROES MAY BE BIG FACTOR IN ELECTION The coalition of anti-Smith Democrats and the Republican party for the prosecution of the guernicanatal campaign this year will afford Negroes an opportunity to become and remain a political factor in this state. The alliance constitutes the most serious threat against Democratic control of the state machinery of Virginia since the campaign of 1882, and it is expected that both the coalition and the Democratic party will seek the Negro vote covertly if not openly. "It is too early to indicate the trend of the majority of Negro voters in the November election," says P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide. "The anti-Smith and Republican coalition is likely to draw considerable support." Mr. Young, however, points out that the administration of Governor Henry F. Byrd has been popular with the Negroes of this state and predicts that many of them will support the Democratic ticket in the election. A limited number of Negro voters will participate in the Democratic primary this year as a result of the decision of Judge Groner in the case of James O. West against the officers of a primary election in Richmond, on April 3, 1928. That decision held the "white Democratic" primary illegal and opened the way for the participation of colored voters in Democratic primaries in Virginia. The number of Negro voters in this state is comparatively low. It is estimated that there are only about 10,000 colored persons qualified to vote in this state. Approximately 385,000 Negroes of voting age live in Virginia. Few Voters Negroes have failed to qualify for voting. They have not paid their poll taxes, which is one of the requisites. Arbitrary interpretation and enforcement of the literacy test by antagonistic officials has also tended to keep the registration of colored persons low. The Republican party has been none too active in state politics. It has not in all elections given its members any candidates for state offices to vote for. The party was satisfied for a long time to meet and select delegates to national conventions every four years. Colored persons, therefore, had no incentive to register and vote even if they could qualify. Added to that were the lily white proclivities of the bosses of the Republican party of Virginia, especially C. Bascom Slemp and Colonel Henry W. Anderson. Negro Votes Sought With candidates for state offices to be voted for and a bid by the anti-Smith and Republican coalition and the Democratic party for the Negro vote, the colored voter may come out of his lethargy and be the determining factor in the gubernatorial election next fall. An effort may be made by the leaders of both parties to have an understanding regarding the Negro vote. Col. Anderson indicated that much in his keynote speech at the Republican convention in Richmond last week. He declared that the social and political status of the Negro in Virginia had long since been established. If the Negroes of Virginia should change their political status and become a factor in state politics, it may be the opening wedge for the breaking down of disfranchisement in the other Southern States and the beginning of a two-party system in those states with a division of the Negro vote between those parties. The results of the gubernatorial campaign will be watched with interest. Y. W. C. A. HAS FULL PROGRAM FOR SUMMER MRS. McQUIRE SICK Under the direction of Miss Ida Mae Hall, the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. is providing a summer program of activities for those who have not playground facilities.

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.-The great National Conference of Social Work with nearly 4,000 delegates closed its annual meeting in San Francisco, on Wednesday last, after a most interesting week of discussion of the many social problems confronting the American public. Considerable attention was given the subject of race relations at various sessions. The newly elected president of the organization, Dr. William Van Watters, referee of the Los Angeles Court, in an evening session with 5,000 persons in the audience said, "The question of fair treatment of the Negro is the most important question before the American public. Social workers should bend every energy towards securing the rights of this element in our population." Presents Facts Eugene Kinckle Jones, executive secretary of the National Urban League, the only Negro member of the conference's executive board serving his fifth year in office, presented facts concerning the social conditions of Negroes in five cities at the round table discussion on "The Negro and the Community," with 300 persons present under the conference division of "The Neighborhood and Community Organizations." The cities whose problems of race relations were presented and discussed were: Grand Rapids, Mich.; Albany, N.Y.; Worcester, Mass.; Denver, Colorado; and Tulsa, Okla., all recently surveyed by the National Urban League. A special luncheon discussion of interracial good-will was held in the grand ball room of the beautiful Fairmount Hotel with over 850 guests. The speakers were Paul Kellogg, editor of the Survey Magazine, representing the whites; Eugene Kinclek Jones, representing Negroes; Miss Caro Deng, secretary, Chinese Y.W.C.A., of Nanking, China, representing the Chinese and Shirosuke Arima, superintendent, Young People's Aid Society, Kosuge, Tokio, Japan, representing the Japanese. Negroes Attend At all of the social functions, as well as at the conference luncheons, dinners and section meetings, Negro delegates were in attendance. Forrester B. Washington, director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, was the one official delegate of the Atlanta Chapter of the American Association of Social Workers although he is the only colored member of his chapter located in Atlanta, Ga. Eugene Kinckle Jones was elected for a three-year term to serve as a member of the Committee on Neighborhood and Community Organizations. At the president's reception and ball held in the grand ball room of the Hotel St. Francis, the colored delegates and their wives were welcomed. Boston in 1930 The conference in June, 1930, will be held in Boston, and in 1981 in Minneapolis. Among the colored delegates present were T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League; Edward S. Lewis, executive secretary, Kansas City, Urban League; Samuel B. Danley, Jr., executive secretary, Springfield (Illinois) Urban Springfield (Ill.) Urban League; Wayne L. Hopkins, executive secretary, Philadelphia Armstrong Association; William R. Conners, executive secretary, Cleveland Negro Welfare Association; and Floyd J. C. Covington, Industrial secretary, Los Angeles Urban League. TWO FINGERS REMOVED STILL HAS TEN The twelve fingers of little Alfred Thompson, five months old, of 1830 Belmont street, northwest, will no longer be a subject of curiosity for the children of the neighborhood. Alfred was born five monts ago to Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson with an extra finger on each hand. This has been a subject of curiosity for a long time, both for neighbors of Mrs. Thompson and physicians. On Tuesday, January 16, Mrs. Thompson carried Alfred to Freedmen's Hospital, where a minor operation was performed by Dr. George S. Martin. The extra fingers were removed. Howard Announces Program of Entertainment Professor George M. Lightfoot, director of the Howard University summer session, has announced that the annual informal summer reception will be held in the university dining hall on the evening of Thursday, July 25, and that the School of Music will give a recital for the benefit of summer students in Andrew Rankin Chapel, at 11:15 a.m., on August 8. GETS REPORT ON HAITI GETS REPORT ON HAITI Gen. Russell, Boss of the Island, Says Conditions Are Improving General John H. Russell, American High Commisser of Haiti, discussed conditions in Haiti with President Hoover in the executive offices at the White House last Wednesday. According to General Russell, greater advances have been made in Haiti in the past seven years than in the preceding 100 years. Advocates of the withdrawal of the American military forces from Haiti and the restoration of the government of that country to the Haitian people charge that the title of "high commissioner and envoy extraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States to the Republic of Haiti" is given to General Russell to camouflage his military power and position. They declare that he is not an ambassador or minister, but he is a military officer in control of American marines, and is the military ruler of Haiti.

Unknown Man Treated At Freedmen's Hospital An unknown man, thought to be a Samuel Dent, of Walter Reed Hospital, was mysteriously brought to Freedmen's Hospital by unknown persons, Saturday evening, and left in the emergency room there in an unconscious state. The man was totally unconscious and in convulsions when brought to the institution; nor could he be aroused by puzzled hospital physicians. After exhaustive treatment for several hours the man repeatedly asked for Lieutenant Brown, who still remains unidentified. His own identification could only be supposed by a name and address inside of his coat pocket, which was Samuel Dent, Walter Reed Hospital. Authorities there, however, could not identify him, and refused to take him in. After some deliberation Freedmen's Hospital physicians concluded that the patient was suffering with some morbid form of psychoses, probably alcoholic, and he was transferred to the Gallinger Municipal hospital for observation. The mystery patient was apparently about 29 years of age, of medium height and build, were dark clothes, no hat nor tie, and was of dark brown complexion. According to hospital authorities, Dent was transferred to the eighth precinct, and then sent to Gallingers for observation. However, there was no record at the eighth precinct of such a man, nor at the hospital. Wizard Upholds Hoovers Dr. Hiram W. Evans, imperial wizard of the Klan, in an address, Saturday night, near Forestville, Md., said: "The DePriest followers and the 15th Amendment should be charged with responsibility for the unfortunate incident." He said that the invitation extended Mrs. DePriest was "one of those customary obligations that Mrs. Hower could not well escape. "If the Negroes had followed the inviolate rule of social etiquette with respect to the White House," he continued, "all of the fuss raised would have been avoided. It has been the custom of the White House to give out any social news that it desired, else nothing was said about it. Certainly the guests at the function could not assume the prerogative of the host or hostess. "It was all this flather made of it that has resulted in strained feeling." "I do not think the Hoovers were to blame. They were the victims of the fifteenth amendment. The Hoovers have never made a practice of entertaining Negroes in private life." "This DePriest, who owes his freedom from slavery to the thousands of white men who died that his race might have it, recently in a speech cast aspersions on the white race," declared Dr. Evans. ADMISSION OF CONGO NATIVES ENGAGE SENATE ADMISSION OF CONGO NATIVES ENGAGE SENATE Senator Glenn, of Illinois, engaged Senator Reed, of Pennsylvania, in a debate on the Negro in the National Origins bill, in the Senate recently. Senator Glenn asked "Why is it that there have been deliberately excluded from consideration and from the count twelve to fifteen million other citizens?" Senator Reed replied: "For the very good reason that the twelve or fifteen million Negroes of this country do not want to be included. They do not want to have a quota assigned to the Congo, and we do not want one." "Certainly," said Senator Glenn, "and yet the Senator said he included everybody." "We have excluded from the quotas," said Senator Reed, "the Chinese, the Malays, people in the barred zone of southern Asia, the negroid tribes of Central Africa, and by almost universal consent it was to the best interests of America that we should. . . . The colored people of this country have acquiesced in this." "By whom?" asked Senator Glenn. "By whom?" said Reed; "by every colored man who has ever discussed the subject with me. They do not want any more immigration from the Congo. I do not want any more, if the Senator wants my opinion." Then Senator Glenn said, "So far as I am concerned, I would just as soon have Negroes as I would have some of the people whom the Senator's plan would admit to America, and with whom we have had fully as much trouble as we have had with Negroes. I would just as soon have a Congo quota as I would an additional quota from some of the other countries or nations." Miss Burroughs Offers Employment to 100 Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, president of the National Training School for Women and Girls, announces that she can give employment to 100 competent men and women today. She wants to increase her facilities at the Sunlight Laundry, which is connected with the school, and increase the patronage of it. Miss Burroughs stated that "we can have a big laundry business and employ 100 workers if those who talk about helping our young people will talk less and support more." Call Lincoln 3311 for a job.

NORTH 7557 Women Leave Farms for Machinery Women Leave Farms for Machinery Number of Women Operating Machines Increases As They Leave the Country HOURS ARE USUALLY LONG According to a new publication just released by the U. S. Women's Bureau, Negro women are deserting the farms and turning to occupations that require more skill and dexterity, such as machine operating. According to this booklet, it is revealed that over one and one-half million colored women were gainfully employed in 1920, an in- over 1910. Large Increase In almost every occupation except agriculture and domestic service, women showed a decided increase, those in the mechanical and manufacturing industries increasing by more than half. It is especially noteworthy that the types of work in which these women were found may safely be said to represent, for them, distinct if somewhat slow industrial progress. Large groups, however, were still engaged in sweeping and cleaning places, while others worked at general labor. But many more had gone into machine operating, most of which require dexterity and skill, and a few were found in supervisory posts, or in posts involving more or less responsibility. For most of the women, however, the hours were long and earnings low. Most of the women were working between nine and twelve hours per day, and receiving an average salary of only $20.50. The Women's Bureau is seeking to better the working conditions of Negro women, and it is with that idea in mind that the booklet is issued. Three Hundred To Attend Confab NEW ORLEANS, La.

WARNS NEGROES TO CHECK CRIME CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP)—Predicting that unless some way was evolved to stem the present current, that Negroes within ten years would form the chief population of Illinois prisons, Rodney H. Brandon, head of the Department of Public Welfare of the State of Illinois, speaking before the Progressive Community Center. Forty-eighth and Wabash avenue, last Sunday night, urged that greater care and attention be given youthful Negroes throughout the state but in Chicago particular. "As long as the Negro gets the poorest end of employment, the most meager wages, and is forced to live in the most congested and the worst digricts in town, just that long may we expect a high percentage of criminality from the group," said Mr. Brandon, who won his high place in the official familv of the state not through politics, but because he is a great humanitarian. He for twenty years has been executive secretary of the Loyal Order of Moose, of which James J. Davis, U. S. Secretary of Labor, is president general, and at Moose-Heart, Ill., Mr. Brandon conducts what is probably America's most famous home for orphaned children.

BAPTISTS HOLD CONVENTION BAPTISTS HOLD CONVENTION The Baptist Young People's Union, of Washington and vicinity, met here Tuesday night, in connection with the Baptist Convention at the Second Baptist Church, of which Rev. J. L. S. Holloman is pastor. Miss C. J. Woolfork and Dr. J. J. Porter were in charge of the program with Rev. James H. Marshall directing the music. The main convention met Wednesday. The Women's Auxiliary met at Mt. Carmel. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, presiding, opened the convention. Deacon A. Hicks delivered the address of welcome and the Rev. G. C. Brown responded. Some of the features of the convention were addresses by Rev. J. P. Brown on "Stewardship". Dr. J. L. Pinn, of Howard University, spoke on "The Influence of Prayer in the Individual Life." A strong address on "Doctrine" was made by Rev. J. P. Morgan. Faulkner From Liberia Thomas J. Faulkner, of Monrovia, Liberia, was a speaker on Thursday. He spoke very plain of conditions there. He said that Liberia needed business men with money to develop her natural resources far more than she needed missionaries. To educate a native and send him back to his kith and kind would not help him for he soon sunk back to the level of his environment. He stated that the population had dwindled from the reported 1,500,000 to about 600,000. That enforced labor had been in existence there since the Firestone Company went there. The native receives 24 cents per day and must feed himself out of that. The Firestone Company had a contract for a million acres of land but had under cultivation only 30,000 acres for which it pays the Liberian government only 6 cents per acre per year. He stated that many of the natives were leaving Liberia and going over into French territory because the French were taking more interest in them than Liberia is manifesting. Mt.

INTERRACIAL COMMISSION IS INCORPORATED INTERRACIAL COMMISSION IS INCORPORATED ATLANTA, Ga.—For the better prosecution of its work, the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, a southwide organization working in the field of Negro welfare, has been incorporated under the laws of Georgia. Thirteen southern states are represented in the list of incorporators, which numbers ninety-four. At a call meeting of the incorporators here the following officers were elected: elected: President, W. C. Jackson, Greensboro; vice-presidents, Dr. R. R. Moton of Tuskegee and R. H. King of Atlanta; executive director and acting treasurer, Will W. Alexander; secretary, Emily H. Clay. The following were chosen as a board of directors: W. C. Jackson, R. R. Moton, R. H. King, Will W. Alexander, Bishop W. B. Beauchamp, Plato T. Durham, Mrs. John J. Eagan, John Hope, David D. Jones, M. Ashley Jones, Edwin Mims, Florence M. Read, E. Marvin Underwood, and C. B. Wilmer. The commission was organized in Atlanta in 1919 for the purpose of obviating interracial friction and improving the condition of Negroes in the south. Affiliated committees have since been set up in each of the southern states and in hundreds of communities, enlisting the interest and co-operation of several thousand people of both races, including ministers, educatros, public officials, business men, and women prominent in religious and civic organizations. The commission's work has attracted wide and favorable attention and its technique of interracial conference and co-operation has been adopted in many other sections of the United States and also in South Africa.

In this capacity she will not only head the woman's work of the general commission, but will also have an advisory relation to the many state and local interracial committees of women throughout the South. She will also co-operate as fully as possible with other great organizations of women, religious and civic. When the Texas woman's committee on interracial co-operation was formed in 1922, Mrs. Ames was chosen as its chairman. In 1924 she became the executive of the state interracial committee and has since served in that capacity with signal success. She has also been prominent in politics, having been a delegate at large to the Democratic national conventions in San Francisco and New York and alternate at the Houston convention. REV.

THOMAS VERDELL NAMED COACH FOR HOWARD THOMAS VERDELL NAMED COACH FOR HOWARD Was Formerly A Football Star at Englewood and Northwestern The football coach at Howard University next year is to be Thomas Verdell, former star of Northwestern University and student of physical education, according to announcement just made by Dean E. P. Davis, chairman of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control. The new coach will report for duty on September 5. Verdell is a graduate of Englewood High School in Chicago, where he starred in football for three years. He attended Northwestern University for four years, shifting from academic studies to a professional course in physical education at the end of his sophomore year. While at Northwestern he won a letter in football three successive years, and is recommended by "Tug" Wilson, director of athletics, as the best qualified man leaving Northwestern this year to coach football. A recent ruling of the Howard Board of Trustees requires all coaches of major sports to be members of the faculty. In addition to coaching, Verdell will be an instructor in the Department of Physical Education. LABOR SPORTS UNION TO HOLD TRACK MEET No Colored Athletes Barred The Labor Sports Union of America, a white amateur sport organization, will hold its third national track and field meet, on the 24th and 25th of August, at the Flushing Memorial Field, Flushing, L.I. Far from putting any restrictions against the participation of Negro athletes in its athletic meet, or any other activities for that matter, the Union is making special efforts to secure entries from colored sport clubs for its meet. The Labor Sports Union is strictly an amateur pro-labor sport organization and is interested in the promotion of sports and athletic activities among the working people. At present it has ninety clubs affiliated in it with a total membership of over seven thousand members. In its principles there is contained a clause to the effect that "The Labor Sports Union is opposed to race discrimination and will fight race discrimination on sports and social field." Departmental OPE By W.C. Trayham With Veterans Bureau and Agriculture fighting it out with the Navy Yard, G.P.O. is steadily drawing away in the race for second series honors and are looked at present to be winners unless the Vets and Aggies can trip them. Grant, in setting a League record, has set a mark for twirlers to shoot at. His record now stands at 29 2-3 scoreless innings. Fans and players alike are eager for the proposed game between an all-star Departmental team and G.P.O., to be played at the conclusion of the championship series. A new record being added during the second series, the number of runs batted in, and at present "Toots" Brown is leading all. Base stealing, which seemed to be a lost art during the first half, has suddenly come to life, and the catchers are having a busy time in all games, with the runners taking many liberties.

He won the half mile in 1:53 2-5 and the mile in 4:25 2-5. There were no records shattered in this meet, most of the events eing far from record time. However, Edwards, after making a 1,000 mile trip by airplane from Denver, Colorado, where he won the National A.A.U. half-mile title, turned in a fine race. Three Swimming Meets Planned for Francis The Francis pool this year will be the scene of three swimming meets in the next few months. Plans are already under way for the first two; which will be "all for glory," and the third or major meet of the year, will take place just before the pool closes. The first of these contests will take place sometime this July, it is hoped. The second will take place in August, and third in September. Already large groups of boys and girls are practicing for the meets, and others are using the pool to keep cool these hot days. Last Sunday, July 14, there was a larger crowd than ever before this year. Since the pool opened, there have been 12,000 bathers to take advantage of it. Over 7,000 were men, 2,000 women, 2,000 boys, and 500 girls. One of the aims of the pool this year is to furnish free instruction to every boy or girl, man or woman, who applies. There are classes every day, and the complete course only takes two weeks. With this as an incentive, every person in Washington ought to learn how to swim. Every day at 3:30, except Saturday, there are water games, such as water polo, surfboard riding, and races. Competent lifeguards are on hand, and as yet, no one has been sent to the hospital. The pool, under the direction of Dr. Mantague Cobb, is situated at Twenty-fifth and N streets. It is open every day from 7 to 11, and from 2:30 to 6:30. The Lafayettes, of Alexandria, are anxious to book games with teams both in Alexandria and Washington. For information call Manager . Johnson. 1080 Oronco street, Alexandria 1695-W, between the hours of 9 to 11 a.m. Explosion of Gasoline Believed to Have Been Cause of Fire; All Wooden Stands Destroyed Two Thousand Trapped In Blazing Stands; 1,000 Injured CONFLICTING STORIES TOLD DETROIT, Mich.—More than two thousand baseball fans were trapped in the grandstands of Mack Park here, last Sunday afternoon, when flames seemed suddenly to leap through the flooring. Nearly 1,000 persons were injured in the panic which ensued. The main stand was completely razed, along with the living quarters of Thomas Morrison, the caretaker, who lived, with his wife and children, in rooms built in the back and underneath the stand. Five automobiles, parked behind the stand were destroyed also. Damage was estimated at $12,000. The Detroit Stars and the Kansas City Monarchs, members of the Negro National Baseball League, were to have played a double-header Sunday to make up for an earlier postponement of the first of their five game series, scheduled for Saturday. Rain again caused some delay, Sunday, and the field was muddy and looked unplayable in spots. The home plate was under water Sandy Spring Stars Take Two From Hillsdales SANDY SPRINGS. Md.-The Sandy Springs Stars took two games from the Hillsdale team on the Fourth of July. The first game was won easily, 10-7, but the second went to ten innings before the final count was decided. In the seventh inning of the first game, the umpire called a ball, which seemed to be about fifteen feet foul, a fair one, and allowed Sandy Spring to score four runs. After a ten inning argument with the umpire and between opposing players, the umpire called the first game and announced that the second game would begin. Sandy Spring was awarded the game, 10-7. The Hillsdales were leading, 7-1 until the ninth inning, when word went around that the umpire was going to walk all of the Sandy Spring players that could not hit. Sandy Spring scored six runs in that inning, tying the score. Hillsdale rallied, and five runs came in during their half of the inning. In the last half, the umpire made several other bum decisions, and allowed Sandy Spring to win 13-12. 60ingshdrl shdrl thSandy Spr. H. R. E Hillsdale H. R. E[A.

He had to bear down all the way as Hall, Navy's southpaw, granted only four hits, a home run by Baylor being the only clean hit of the game. This was one of the most hard-fought games of the season, with snappy plays contributed by Wooden, Slade, Rollins, Baylor, and Carter that served to keep the fans on edge throughout the performance. and the second base was not much better. There was some doubt as to whether the game could be played. John Roesink, operator of the park, went across the street to procure five gallons of gasoline. Those caught in the panic tell conflicting stories of what happened after that. Roesink says that he came back to the park and walked down to second base with the intention of sprinkling it around the wet ground and then touching a match to it to dry the wet ground. He says he was just ready to light it when he heard cries of "Fire," and looked up to see the flames enveloping the west end of the main grandstand. Many of the injured are of the opinion that another can of gas was under the grandstand and had been ignited by a match or cigarette. Roesink says that the five gallons in his possession was the only gasoline in the park. Another theory is that Roesink's can may have left a trail of gas along his path, and that this was ignited in some way. Many of the spectators say that there was an explosion. The truth about the affair will probably never be known. The stands, made of wood, were over fifteen years old, it is said. Girls To Participate In Tennis Meet Following the boys' tennis tournament at the Howard playground, the girls will stage a similar contest to determine the tennis champion of the playground. Twelve girls have already signed for the meet, and many more are expected. Among those already entered are Helen Hughes, Jessie Hughes, Nellie Keyes, Dot Keyes, Consella Pratt, Catherine Wright, Kolosa Hughes, Mary Childs, Pattie Jones, Johnetta Johnson, Erma Johnson, and Anna Haywood. SPRAINS HAND IN BASE BALL GAME, TREATED AT FREEDMEN'S A fractured hand and sprained left wrist was suffered by Roscoe Coleman, 20, of 1625 Fifth street, N.W., while playing baseball "out in Maryland." He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, where it will be necessary for him to have his hand X-rayed for a possible fracture. Veterans Bureau Swamps Aggies in Slugfest Gathering fifteen hits off the slants of Slade and Grant, Veterans' Bureau hit to all corners of the lot in an easy win over the Aggies. Thomas, after getting away to a bad start, held his opponents safe the rest of the route. Slade was no puzzle and Grant was hit hard, the Vets breaking his string of scoreless innings. **Veterans Bureau** **ab r** **a** **Agriculture** **h r e** **1 0** Greene,lb,2b **4 3** **Carter,3b.** **1 1** **1 0** Lee,2b,ss. **4 3** **Odeman,pcf.** **1 2** **0** Gibson,cf. **3 2** **Baylors.** **0 1** **1 1** Carroll,ss. **2 3** **Grant,rf,p.** **0 1** **1 1** Brisco,ce. **2 3** **Taylor,c.** **0 1** **1 1** Walters,rf. **2 0** **Williams,lf.** **0 1** **1 1** Tewman,w. **2 0** **Dorsey,cf.** **2 0** **1 0** Brown,2b. **1 2** **Moore,lb.** **0 0** **1 0** Browne,pi. **1 2** **0 0** **1 0** Thomas,p. **1 2** **0 0** **1 0** **Score by innings:** **Veterans Bureau** **1 6 6 1 1 1 0—16** **Gibson,cf.** **5 1 0 0 0 0—17** Agriculture ..... 6 1 0 0 0 0 0 7 Two-base hits-Lie (3), Carroll.

The hard-hitting Colesville, Md., Tigers won their sixth straight game last Sunday by taking both ends of a doubleheader from the local Hillsdale nine. In the first game "Smokeball" Frazier baffled the visitors, while Levi, ace pitcher of the Hillsdale nine, was freely hit to all parts of the diamond. Final score was 11 to 3. In the nightcap, Louis Hill, big right-hander on the mound for the Tigers, was in great form and handed the Hillsdale boys a neat licking to the tune of 3-1. Conduccts Experiments Dr. U. J. Daniels is remaining in the city through the entire summer. He is conducting a series of experiments in the bacteriological laboratory of Howard University School of Medicine, with pathogenic fungi, and in the more recent methods of cultivating human types of the bacillus of tuberculosis. Last Summer Dr. Daniels did EDDE TOLAN TO RUN FRIDAY IN CANADA DENVER, Colo.-Percy Williams, 1928 sprint champion of the world, who declined to run in the A.A.U. Championships held here, will take part in a meet to be held in his home town, Vancouver, and Eddie Tolan, bespectacled little Negro flyer, will be there to meet him and to prove that he can beat the former champion. An international meet is scheduled for Vancouver, Friday and Saturday, and many of this country's best track stars will be present. When Tolan runs against Williams he will be facing the Canadian for the first time in outdoor competition. Williams beat Tolan once in a short distance indoor race. ANACOSTIANS HELD BY LAFAYETTES, 2-1 WIN FIRST GAME, 12 to 6 "Gob" Williams' fast Annacostia Junior Athletics split even in a double header played with the Lafayette at Annacostia last Sunday, Annacostia winning the first, 12 to 6, and losing the nightcap, 2 to 1. In the first game Eddie Berry was sent in to "Bullet Ball" Simpson's rescue after the Virginians had piled up a five-run lead, 6 to 1. He struck out fifteen men while his team mates held the visitors scoreless for the remainder of the game. They then staged an eleven-run rally in the seventh inning to win, 12-6. The second game was a five-inning engagement due to the illness of Percy McKenzie and Irvin Queen, the Junior's star pitchers. Simpson and Berry again toed the slab and the Lafayettes hopped on Simpson for two runs in the third. Berry held them scoreless for the remaining two innings and struck out four men. Manager Greene is expecting his hardest game next Sunday, when his team will cross bats with the strong. Manchester nine at Anna-costia. The game will be called at 1:30 p.m. Vets Conquer Treasury In Slugfest, 15-2 After four straight losses, Veterans' Bureau turned the trick at the expense of Treasury in an easy victory. The Vets scored at will and around themselves out running around the paths. The Briscoe-Twyman battery again worked in fine form, allowing four hits, being scored while the former was on the mound, and Gibson crushed out a homer. Twyman got two doubles. Tatum was nicked for eight runs in three innings, Beverly finishing. Neither had anything that puzzled the Vets' batters.

Beats Aggies, 6 to 3, In Tight Game Pitching superb ball in the pinches, Bland kept the Aggies hits scattered and aided by "Toots" Brown's timely bat, enabled the printers to keep the old jinx on the Aggies, winning, 6-3. Tennille should have fared better but for too safe playing by Wallace, who, by a little effort, could have made easy outs of several flies that went as hits. Grant pitched the last two innings, allowing one hit and running his string of scoreless innings to 29. Each pulled off two fast double plays, while Ross missed an un-assisted triple play by inches.

O. L. League, is packing them in at the park by his colorful tactics and great all-round playing. Leroy Roberts, erstwhile pitching star of the Bacharachs, once walked fourteen men in a nine-inning game, yet won the game, 1-0 Mack's Park, home of the Detroit Stars; was recently destroyed by fire and it has not been decided whether to rebuild or not. Leroy Barber is the best sandlot catcher in the District of Columbia, I think. The Hillsdale entry is setting a fast pace and making a determined bid to win the second half of the race in the American Negro League. Ben Taylor has suspended George Carr, his heavy hitting first baseman, for breaking training rules during the playing season. "Jess" Hubbard and "Hop" Gomez, outfielder and catcher of the Baltimore Black Sox, have been released. Burbage and Lattimore of the Schenectedy have been signed in their stead. "Judy" Gans, who began the season as an ampire for the Clan, has been released and Ferguson has taken his place. Santop, formerly great catcher, in his new role as manager of Snatop's Bronchos, is developing some fine looking players. Among them are Lackey, shortstop; Johnson, second baseman; and Watson, pitcher. Rossell, formerly with the Western Cubans, is now with Alex Pompey's Eastern Cubans. There are rumors that the winners in the National Negro League will engage the winners of the Negro American League is a series. As yet there has been no confirmation of this fact. John Henry Lloyd, the aging leader of the Lincoln Giants, will lead a dangerous ensemble in the second half of the split schedule. Judy Johnson, Hilldale short-stop and a very valuable man on his team, has been playing most of the season on his nerve. Charlie Smith, of the Lincoln Giants, was the leading batter for the first half of the schedule. Smith was formerly second baseman on Ben Taylor's Washington Potomacs. Connie Rector did not lose a single game in the first half. 'JO' BAKER TO GO BACK TO GAY PAREE PARIS, France—"Jo" Baker, former "darling of Paris," who has been "panned," "canned" and "banned" more than any other woman on the stage today, and who now appears to be doing something or other down in South America, has, according to reports, been engaged by Dufrene and Varna, to appear at the Palace here next March. This is, of course, some of the advance depe handed out by Jo's press paper, and may hang fire before the date named. If the report is true, there must be a demand for the dancer, as Dufrene and Varna are not aiming to book Local Writer Features New Comic Song Ret Crosbey, an internationally known song writer of Washington, is featuring a new song, "Nuts," over the radio and in the theatres.

NAPOLEONIANS DON'T LIKE "SQUALKERS" NAPOLEON, Ohio.—Movie fans here don't like the "screeching" screen and they so informed manager C. A. Young, of the local theatre. Several months ago Young installed talking equipment and booked some of the latest audible pictures. But the box office receipts didn't grow. In fact they fell off. Numerous fans called on Mr. Young and informed him that they wanted the old fashioned silent pictures back. So Young has announced that the talkies will be discontinued. "Folks are mighty hard to please," was Young's only comment. "King Saul" Escapes Injury In Second Presentation Edward B. Sewell, of 1736 Vermont avenue, who accidentally stabbed himself through the arm while acting the part of King Saul in a Biblical play entitled "Men of the Bible," at Mount Zion A.M.E. Church, on June 17, again assayed the same role last Sunday evening at Third Baptist Church, and came through unscathed. In the closing scene of the play, King Saul stabs himself and with the words "Thus dieth King Saul," drops to the floor. In the first enactment of the production, Mr. Sewell misjudged his aim and suffered a painful cut, the steel sword passing entirely through his arm. In spite of his injury, he concluded his part, dropping to the stage as the curtain fell, and the audience was unaware of the accident until the following day. Sewell courageously pulled the sword from his arm and was rushed to Georgetown Hospital, where he received medical treatment. At the performance last Sunday evening, Mr. Sewell substituted a light wooden sword for the steel one, and concluded his part without mishap. The cast of the play was directed by Mrs. Irene Broadneck. PREACHER'S WIFE SEEKS SEPARATION BECAUSE OF ABUSIVE LANGUAGE Srx | The Rev.

LUKES ~W HANDS OF RECEIVER NEW YORK CITY.—Much mis- understanding has been caused through an article published in the New York Times on July 13, tell- ing of the appointment of a receiv. er for the New York District St. Luke Finance Corporation. Many have gathered that it was the Right Worthy Grand Council of the Independent Order of St. Luke with headquarters at Richmond, and of which Mrs. Maggie L. Wal ker is Right Worthy Grand Sec- retary-Treasurer. ‘According to a dispatch sent out by the National Negro Press, this is not the case, as it is only the members of the New. York district for which a receiver has been ap- pointed. It seems as though the New York members grew | numerically and fipancially, and began to in vest their money outside of fra- ternal circles. They organized a finance cor- poration, ran a cafeteria, a dance hall, and let out the auditorium for amusements and other. enter- tainments. In this way, they be- came heavily in debt. They were incorporated under a separate charter in New York State, and meanwhile their obliga- tions continued to grow. It was found upon investigation that they were insolvent, and the receiver- ship ordered. ’ This receivership has nothing at all to do with the fraternal relation of the members of the New York district to the Order at Richmond.

OPEN DAY AND NIGRT seagng Killing of Policeman En- rages Whites Who At- tempt Retaliation NORTH PLATTE, Neb.—The en- tire colored population of 225 men, women and’ children were driven out of this city Sunday. Mobs of white men with guns and dangling ropes followed the colored people until they were well out of the city limits. A colored man in the city jail was released by the sheriff, in order that he might flee with the rest of his race. The trouble started when Po- liceman Edward Green was shot and killed by Louis Steelman, ac- cused of wife beating and resist- ing. arrest, and after shooting the policeman, killed himself. Some of the people said that they would return to the Southern states, where they could not be treated much worse, while others left for Omaha and Chicago. The sheriff has issued a state- ment that if any of the colored eople cared to return to North Platte, they would be protected in their rights by his office. North Platte is on the Union Pacific Railroad about half way between Lincoln, Neb., and Chey- enne, Wyoming. —o—_— RUFUS TURNER ADDRESSES MEETING Rufus P.

The fight was precipitated as a result of a segre- gation order delivered to the Ne- groes to keep to one side of the main street, During sparodic out- bursts, missles, stones, bottles and what not were thrown from one side of the street to the other, with the Negroes being the best. miarks: men. When a young white gitl was struck by a bottle said to have been thrown by a Negro, the big thing started. “Guns were brought out and the Negroes were told to get out. State police were sent here, to patrol the streets following the call from the local police force, who seemed to be unable or un- willing to quell the affair. ‘The whites have tried for some- time to stop the Negroes from congregating on the streets on Saturday nights.

Mil ler were engaged in an altercation last Sunday. night, in, which “Bo- angles” whipped out his revolver ‘and fired at Miller, missing him. Robinson said he fired in the air. However, the firing of the gun ended the argument, which took place outside the stage door in an alley next to the Lafayette Theatre Miller Tells Police Robinson is said to have told Miller that he would kill him and Miller complained to the police that Robinson had threatened his life. Robinson had a permit to carry a gun. Since the election of new officers for the Florence Mills Memorial Society on June 28, at which time Robinson was overwhelmingly de- feated for the presidency by Miller, Robinson has stated that Miller was supported by those in the as- sociation whom he alleges were stealing the association’s money. Charges Dishonesty _ For the past year, Robinson has repeatedly made chatges of dishon- esty against various officers of the association. Incidently, Robinson was deposed as treasurer of the organization and replaced by Billy Pierce, Broadway dancing master. In telling the story of the affai to the police, Robinson said that Miller backed’ into 2 doorway and invited him in to Sight... “When 1 got near him,” he said, “T saw him put bis hand inside his, oat. 1 looked to me as though he wa: reaching for his gun.. So I rar and got my gun and fired one shot into the air. ‘Then he came out. of the door, and that ended it.” Mit ler would say nothing about the affair. Withholds Check At the present time Robinson i withholding a, check for $4,242 made payable to the Florence Mills Memorial Society, which amount he collected in Chicago, where bene fits were staged, he being the prin. cipal star.

The American Mercury for July has an article, "A White Man in the South," by C. Peyton Wertenbaker, a Virginian and a graduate of the University of Virginia. His article is just a little different in its fairness and frankness. Speaking of the Negro "struggling up" he says: "Or, finally, they may keep on struggling up and absorbing our culture until they reach a position where they can genuinely challenge our racial memory." "Secretly, I rather hope they will challenge us some day." In the July Plain Talk, Eugene Gordon has an article on "The Negro Grows Up." This paragraph is significant: "Yes, the American Negro has just about grown up. Naturally, he will continue to develop for some time, for he has not yet reached full growth. We are proud, however, to present him in all the promise of his fresh young manhood; a vigorous, stalwart, broad-shouldered, carefree and somewhat arrogant youth, yet one who soberly realizes the significance of a man's responsibilities." Heywood Broun, writing of Parham at West Point in the News and other chain papers, said: "There is not a single Negro in America who has not suffered for his skin." Cowald Garrison Villard, editor of The Nation has an enlightening article in the July Harper's on "The Crumbling Color Line." The Negro is getting more favorable publicity and occupying more space in the magazines than ever before. It will have a favorable reaction and bound to redound to our benefit. PRESIDENT GREEN'S STATEMENT In an interview last week, President William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, stated: "The American Federation of Labor stands ready to give to the Negro workers the protection of an organized movement. Many have already joined, but many more are declaration that "The Federation stands ready to give Negro workers owe it to themselves and to us to join in the movement for the advancement of common interests." This statement followed Mr. Green's pledge a week ago to the organized Pullman porters and maids, when he addressed more than 2,000 of them in New York City. President Green made a brave statement, and if he and the Federation of Labor will live up to his declaration that T"he Federation stands ready to give Negro workers the protection of an organized movement," and will back up this statement with performance, then there is a brighter day ahead for Negro labor. The labor unions of the North have been barriers to the Negro to the extent that he has failed to break through them in any perceptible numbers. The ideals for which our Constitution is supposed to stand, demands that all wage earners, regardless of race, should be accorded equal opportunities. That is all that the Negro is asking. He should not be given less. The Negro wage earner spends his dollars just like the white wage earner. If the white wage earner buys a car the Negro wage earner purchases one too. If the country is dependent upon high wages then why discriminate in a worker because his skin is black? The Pullman porters and maids have gained another point in their contensions for higher wages and better hours. With the Federation behind them they should be able to enlist the sympathy of the other railway brothroops and more consideration will be given their demands for a salary of $150 per month and less than 400 hours per month. They should hold to the principles and practices which make for substantial and practical progress. The Federation can not be stronger than its weakest link. It is therefore incumbent upon the Federation to strengthen the weak links. We do not know what has caused President Green to come out as he has for the Negro laborer. Is it increased service to the American wage earners? or is it the advance signs of a slipping Federation? The Negro wage earners will do well to watch this new alignment with keen interest.

TAPLETT LUMBER YARD RAZED Children, Playing With Matcher, Blamed for Lumber Fire Fire that raged for almost three hours in the John Taplett lumber yard, 211 Sixteenth street, northwest, yesterday afternoon, is believed to have been started by children playing with matches near one of the sheds. Four fire companies battled the lames from 2:37 o'clock until after five. Starting in a pile of freshly dwn lumber, placed in the rear if one of the sheds, the blaze spread rapidly and in a few minutes leaped high into the air. A large crowd had gathered around the lumber yard by the time the three engine companies and one truck answered the alarm. There was some fear that the flames would extend to the adjacent property at first, but the firemen soon surrounded the blaze and were able to close in on the flames. The amount of damage was not known, but John Taplett, owner of the yard, said that it would amount to about $3,000. It will be rebuilt. Taplett's is the only colored lumber yard in the city. When John Taplett died about a year ago, he left an estate of nearly $50,000 to his two sons. The lumber yard was included in the bequest.

The percentage of Negro illiterates ten years of age and over was in 1880, 70.0; 1880, 57.1; 1900, 44.5; 1910, 30.4. In urban Negro population the percentage TRIRUNITE'S PLEDGE 1.

The percentage of illiterates in Negro population of the North was 18.2; South, 48.0; West, 13.1. The highest percentage of illiterates in Negro population, 48.0, is in Louisiana, the lowest percentage, 3.4, is in Minnesota, and Oregon. A larger and larger number of Negro voters of the country are envincing a disposition to act and vote independently of the Republican party. It is no longer true that Negro and Republican are synonymous. More than one hundred varieties of products from peanuts, ranging from the purest of milks for the sick room to ink useful for writing and sketching have been discovered by Prof. George W. Carver, scientist and agriculturist of the Tuskegee Institute in Alabama. Sir Arthur Evans, president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, in his 1916 address, says that Grecian civilization was due directly to Negro influence. There is historical evidence from the researches of distinguished scholars, that Negroes from Guinea and the Congo had been trading with the Indians centuries before Columbus discovered America. A code of laws enacted by the white race claimed that it was a Christian charity to enslave the African under the influence of civilization rather than leave him to barbarism. Henry H. Grant, D.D., was the first colored man who ever spoke in public in the Capital at Washington, having preached there in February, 1865. There are at present more than 100,000 foreign born Negroes in the United States, two-thirds of whom are from the West Indies and adjacent ports of South America. The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland rules more or less directly some 44,700,000 Africans, about 1,700,000 Aframericans in the West Indies, Honduras and Guiana, and about 338,000 Oceanic Negroes, Melanesians and Polynesians in the Pacific Achinelagos. There are 354 Negro schools maintained by white denominational boards and 153 schools maintained by colored denominational boards. Conditions in some sections of the South are remarkable like those prevailing in Ireland; great landlords and poor tenantry or peasantry, the tenants here being very largely black. The second settler in Alabama was a Negro. He was in the De Soto Expedition and remained in Alabama among the Indians. We have 14 film companies, producing pictures with Negro casts, seven of which are owned by Negroes. PROTEST INSULTING REMARKS Colored people should be on the alert to protest against the use of the Radio to insult the group. It is true that much of the propaganda is hidden behind the poet's right or the license of the literati, but it is insulting nevertheless. Last week, the ex-war correspondent, Floyd Gibbons, in describing his get-away from the sinking Laconia early in the great War period, he referred, it seemed to me, entirely too frequently to the slant-headed black jibbering shivering Negro in the small boat's crew. This is the same Gibbons who created a scene in a local Chinese or Japanese restaurant a year ago by engaging in a fight because the waiters were ejecting a disorderly white man. His reason for interference was because he could never see non-white interfering with men of his color. Recently he has attempted some more anti-colored race propaganda in his story, "The Red Napoleon," appearing in the Liberty Magazine. On the night of July 15 the woman who directs the "Let us join the Ladies" hour at 9 o'clock on WRC, under the guise of reciting Negro poetry and singing Negro folk songs, selected for the Radio listeners, three poems in --- To the Editor: THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

"Out to pasture 'em a bit." "What for?" "To fatten 'em." "Isn't it pretty slow work to fatten them on grass? Up where I come from we pen them up and feed them on corn. It saves a lot of time." "Yaas, I s'pose so," drawled the mountaineer. "But, brother, what's time to a hawk?"—Exchange. Of First Importance The plenckers were obliged to cross a railroad track in reaching the place where they were to have lunch, and little Bobby, going ahead, saw a train approaching. Eagerly he shouted to his father, who was still on the tracks: "Hurry, daddy, or else give me the lunch."—The Engineer. Practicing on Whom?

I am suggesting that letters be sent to the National Broadcasting Company which sponsors these programs that they avoid allowing certain intolerant bigots exercise their talents over so broad a field as that covered by the Radio. We, too, are buying tubes, radio sets, and are part of the great audience that listens in over the air. POETS' CORNER SIMPLE THOUGHTS By Archie R. Smith I don't understand all the ways of life. Nor why certain paths I must trod. Yet I know that behind it all Must be the hand of God. My eyes cannot penetrate The clouds that gather about me, Still I know 'tis for a purpose Or else it would not be. I didn't always hear the gentle knocking. And yet I know 'tis true, He is saying, "If you will open, I'll come in and sup with you." Absent-Minded An Error In Loso Monte Not a Remedy E. B. Henderson.

She passed away like morning dew Before the sun was high; So brief her time, she scarcely knew The meaning of a sigh. As round the rose its soft perfume, Sweet love around her floated; Admired she grew, while mortal doom Crept on unfeared, unnoted. Love was her guardian angel here. But love to death resigned her; Though love was kind, why should we fear. But holy death is kind? —The Family. CARD OF THANKS I wish to take this means to thank the many friends for their kindness and sympathy in my hour of sorrow in the death of my son, Luther Helm.—Mrs. Rose Willis.

OR YOUR REGISTERED PLUMBER — CONVENIENT TERMS ARE AVAILABLE LAW ENFORCEMENT Some Pointers for President Hoover's Law Enforcement Campaign (By Miss Nannie H. Burroughs) The law is a mechanical device that will not operate uniformly unless it is kept lubricated with oil from an enlightened and elevated public sentiment. *** The lawless element is now a national menace. The Federal Government has remained silent until the character of our civilization is impeached, the stability of our institutions imperiled, the integrity of our judicial system questioned, and our social fabric brboght to the verge of disrepute. ```markdown ``` The strains of brutality and contempt for law have entered the blood of the nation. Men rack their brains in search for new ways to torture human beings and new devices for committing crime, and for new ways of escape. * * * * * The mob that was invented to deal with the Negro without law has made lynching a successful industry. In dull seasons, the mob has to find some way of using the faculty acquired in dealing with the Negro, else it could not keep itself in trim for its major sport. They must have something or somebody to work on, hence, the spread of crime. *** The nation must now be purged through intensive education in the value, ideal, and principles of absolute justice. The national slogan must be "enforce all laws and punish all crimes according to law." Make the Constitution of the United States the supreme law of the land. Make it a Federal offense for any state to ignore, nullify, or pass any law that conflicts with or abridges any law passed by the Federal Government. A law against outlawing the Constitution of the United States is the supreme need. States and groups of citizens are getting away with anything from mob murder to treason. In the name of state rights whole states are allowed to exterminate the law. In such states the Federal Government must have laws that make the municipality responsible. **** Irresponsible states that fail to detect and prosecute the vicious and trubulent element are as great a menace to life, liberty, and happiness, as irresponsible individuals who commit heinous crimes. A lawless state is not a whit better than the lawless individual whom it burns without law. * * * * * The Federal Government invested the Negro with full rights of citizenship; a number of states have divested him of those rights. Those states should be made to restore the Negro's citizenship or not only have its representation cut down in Congress but, every cent of national government money for public education should be held up until the states agree to stop robbing the Negro of his share. * * * * * The Negro race as a whole questions the national government's FEATURES FURNITURE SILVERWARE Splendid Quality Chamois Skins These skins are of an unusually fine texture.

QUARTERS — MENT TERMS ARE AVAILABLE sense of justice because the government has not only practiced discrimination in all of its departments, but it has been a party to the most undemocratic forms of injustice and discrimination. It has kept silent while many of the states have ignored federal laws and passed conflicting laws jeopardizing or nullifying the rights of the Negro to vote, to get justice in the courts, to get his share of benefit from funds for public education, to enjoy his right to attend schools supported out of federal funds for military or naval training, and to enjoy equal accommodations in public carriers. The Federal Government has never attempted to enforce a single one of these laws, nor has it tried to stop the states from passing nullifying or conflicting laws. In dealing with the citizenship rights of the Negro, the Federal Government has been governed by the law of silence and willing acquiescence. * * * * The Negro is now waiting with bated breath to see if the people of this country mean business—if law enforcement is to be all inclusive and universal. * * * * Colored people are protesting because President Hoover did not put a colored man on the Law Enforcement Commission. President Hoover always reasons well. White people started this lawlessness; they are largely responsible for its unparalleled growth. Members of the white race have taken the lead in making the laws, interpreting the laws, breaking the laws, and ignoring the laws. Members of the white race make or furnish nearly all of the death dealing concoctions, weapons, automobiles and other means of transportation and rapid transit facilities that have increased crime and aided concealment. * * * * * Now, a commission of great minds in the white race might be best qualified to undo what other members of their race have led in doing. * * * * * Since our President always reasons deeply and well, he might want to give the representatives of the race that has led the nation 30TH ANNUAL DIVIDEND PAID BY NATIONAL S. W. Rutherford, secretary-general manager of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, announced on Monday, July 15, that 1,800 dividend checks were being forwarded from the home office to stockholders on record. This is the thirtieth annual uninterrupted dividend of National Benefit Life. Last year, when this company paid its annual dividend, announcement was made that many of the original investor had been repaid six and one-half times, and still hold original stock upon which they collect annual dividends. In 1918, the corporation declared a four hundred per cent stock dividend, upon which of course, it has regularly paid cash dividends along with dividends upon the stock originally purchased. COLORED POSTMASTER Position at Almargro, Va., Held by Family for 32 Years DANVILLE, Va.—William A. Betts has been appointed postmaster of the colored suburb of Almargro, near here. He held the post for 30 years and then passed it on to his son, Gustavion Betts, who now relinquishes it to his father again. Some 2,500 colored persons are served by the post office, which pays a salary, Betts says, of 160 per cent of the stamp cancellations. Betts demurred at first to the appointment, but accepted it on being told that the post office probably would be discontinued unless he accepted. into lawlessness the lead in leading the nation back to the highway laid out by the Constitution.
