Brown) HIGHLAND BEACH, Md.—Highland Beach politics have gone big during the last week. On Sunday, five white revenue officers entered Highland Beach and made for one of the leading hotels. They searched from cellar to garret, tasted tea on the guests' tables and examined all suspicious looking bottles. After apologizing to the owner and expressing satisfaction in finding no liquor, they took along one of his slot machines and went back to Annapolis. The proprietor called it "a dirty political trick on the part of one of his neighbors." State Provisions Developed This is alleged to be another of the peculiar steps taken by some of the citizens to get rid of the hotels. However, only one of the two hotels was visited. The campaign began in earnest after a chance that there was open drinking and gambling going on in the town, two years ago. The commissioners a few weeks ago passed several ordinances, some of which rival the ancient blue laws, in order to get back at the hotels. One such law forbids parking in any of the streets except by permission of the owners. Then was begun the fencing of the lot that Mr. Richard Ware, owner of one of the hotels, has been using for the parking of cars to keep them off the streets. Signs have been posted and people have been stopped to give visitors the idea of the exclusiveness of the resort. Another ordinance bars dancing, playing of (Continued on page 2) BEAUTY CULTURISTS ORGANIZE Local No. 47, of the National Beauty Culturists' League, Inc., was organized last Sunday for the hairdressers and cosmeticians of the District of Columbia and vicinity, by Dr. Ida Love, of Philadelphia, national organizer.

Man Knocked Down By Hit-and-Run Driver Another victim of a hit-and-run driver was reported to police by authorities of Freedmen's Hospital, last Monday, July 22, when Albert Brown, age 38, of 605 Q street, northwest, was brought into the emergency room of the hospital by a passing motorist. Brown was crossing the intersection of Florida and Rhode Island avenues when an unknown driver, speeding west across the intersection, suddenly struck him down, cutting a deep gash in his hand and wrist and bruising him about the body. He was picked up and brought to the hospital by a passing motorist. 70 Unites With 24 STAUNTON. Va.—A difference of 46 years in ages means little in the life of Jackson Thomas, 70 years of age, of Waynesboro, Va. Last Saturday, he appeared at the office of the Augusta County clerk here and obtained a license to marry Miss Mary Coles, 24 years old. She prefers to be "an old man's darling rather than a young man's slave." NEGRO FARMERS IN FLA. ORGANIZE TAMPA, Fla.-The Negro farmers of Florida, under the leadership of A. A. Turner, director of Negro Extension Work, have organized a co-operative association through which supplies are purchased and crops marketed. An Associated Negro Press dispatch says that the association operates assembly and packing houses and sells in cariood lots. Commenting upon the association, the Tampa (Fla.) Bulletin says: "So far as is known, Florida is the first state where Negro farmers have mingled their truck crops in carlots and shipped to northern and eastern markets under state laws regulating co-operative organizations." ELKS HOLD 3RD ANNUAL FIELD DAY PROGRAM J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler, Pitches First Ball The third annual joint field day of the I.B.P.O. Elks was held last Saturday, July 20, at the American League Park. A crowd of about 1,500 attended the exercises. The meet was opened when four lodges of the Elks, having paraded about the city, entered the field amidst the cheers of the spectators. Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, received a great ovation as he entered, accompanied by Mrs. Ida Cummings, daughter ruler of F. E. W. Harper Temple, Baltimore, Md.; John Murphy, exalted ruler of Pride of Baltimore Lodge; Roy S. Bond, district deputy of Baltimore; William B. Harris, district deputy of the District of Columbia; Honry Perry W. Howard, grand legal advisor; Charles A. Marshall, grand auditor; Dr. Chas. B. Fisher, grand medical director; Charles W.

Other Activities At 2:30, a juvenile circus was staged on the field by a large group of youngsters dressed as clowns, mules, track stars, elks, and other wied costumes. This was followed by a grand review, in which all of the lodges participated. The Knights of St. John and Pythians, although not Elk lodges, co-operated in the affair, and appeared in the review and competitive drill. (Continued on page 2) DENTIST INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENT Dr. George H. Butcher, prominent local dentist, was painfully bruised last Sunday evening while returning from Venice Beach, Md., when his automobile was in collision with two other machines. The accident occurred on the Defense Highway near Bladensburg road. Congested traffic had forced Dr. Butcher to bring his machine to a stop, and an auto moving at terrific speed crashed into the rear of his car. The impact was so great that it forced Dr. Butcher's auto into the rear of the machine in front, which, in turn, smashed into the second car ahead. Damage estimated at $500 was done to his car, which Dr. Butcher states, is fully covered by insurance. With Dr. Butcher in his car at the time of the accident were his wife and two children, and Mrs. Frances F. Weir, all of whom were severely shaken up and bruised. PROVING THAT NEGROES ARE Governer of Ala. Calls Out Soldiers to Prevent Mob Violence at Trial Not Yet Intelligent Eufala, Ala—After ten minutes deliberation a Barbour County jury found Lester Bowyer, alias Charles Harris, guilty of murdering Jack Hines, a mechanic, on the night of July 10. The trial started at 8:30 a.m., and only lasted two and one-half hours. The judge sentenced him to die in the electric chair, August 23, one month from the date of the trial. Beatrice Clark was the main witness for the state. She said that Bowyer came up to the car in which she and Hines were sitting and demanded money. Hines refused and Bowyer shot him with a shot gun. She exhibited a wounded shoulder where a portion of the gun charge which killed Hines struck her. Bowyer did not take the stand in his defense. This trial created quite a stir in Alabama. The Governor called out two companies of a National Guard to protect Bowyer from threatened mob violence. Bowyer was reported to have assaulted the Clark girl after he killed Hines, but he was not tried on that charge. A National Guard Company accompanied Bowyer from the state prison at Montgomery to Euparlia and stood guard during the trial. More than 1,500 people met the train. The guards accompanied Bowyer on his return to prison, where he was placed for safe keeping. In calling out the guards Governor Graves stated: "There will not be a lynching in Alabama if I can prevent it." Man Killed in Silver Slipper Shooting Bee A coroner's jury Tuesday ordered James Epps, 19 years old, 1632 Thirty-second street, northwest, held for the action of the grand jury in connection with the killing of John Grant, 21, of 1750 T street, northwest, in the Silver Slipper, a dance hall in the basement of the Pythian Building at Twelfth and U streets, northwest. Epps fatally shot Grant and also wounded Garnet Mitchell, 32 years old, 1111 Green court, northwest; Kenneth Mingo, 22 years old, of 1332 Union street, southwest; and Lillian Campbell, 28 years old, of 1028 Third street, northwest. Mitchell was shot in the thigh. Mingo was wounded in the left foot. Miss Campbell was shot in the left leg. They will recover. There are several versions of the affair. Police say that Epps began shooting when one of the dancers stepped on his toe. Others who frequented the dance hall, say that other male patrons of the dance hall had been after Epps for sometime. At the time the shooting occurred, the crowd was on razor-edge ready for battle. Someone is said to have struck Epps in the stomach. He doubled over like a jack-knife and when he came up he began shooting. The crowd scurried for shelter. Epps was arrested at the scene by police of the Eighth precinct. The shooting occurred a little after midnight Sunday. Two hours later Grant died. DR. PERCIVAL ILL AT FREEDMEN'S Dr. Theodore Percival, of Freedmen's Hospital, former graduate of Lincoln University and graduate of Howard Medical School, class of '28, is ill at the hospital with a bronchial inflammation. Dr. Percival was an honor man known among younger professional men of Washington. The pulpit committee of Vermont Avenue Baptist Church met Wednesday night to hear the defense of Henry W. Johnson, a member of the committee who has been accused of accepting money toward the selection of a pastor. Signed statements were made on Tuesday of this week by Joseph H. Maxwell and William Washington, telling of how a trap had been laid to find out whether money could be used in influencing the pulpit committee in its work of selecting a pastor to succeed the late Rev. James E. Willis. The committee did not reach a decision, Wednesday night. They simply heard the defense's evidence. They must make their report to the church at a meeting of the whole membership at an early date. Johnson Denies Charges Mr. Johnson refused to give out a statement for publication. He stated he would have something to say later on about the whole matter. He did, however, emphatically deny the charge. At the hear- ALBERT P. SCOTT LOCKED UP Albert P.

ASSURES MEN OF FAIR DEAL IN POSTOFFICE Glover Tells Men They Will Be Given Every Chance For Advancement DETROIT, Mich.—Walter I. Glover, Second Assistant Postmaster General, on behalf of Postmaster General Walter Brown, delivered the principal address last week at the opening session of the fifth biennial convention of the National Alliance of Postal Employees, composed of clerks, carriers and railway postoffice men. Approximately 200 delegates registered at convention headquarters, including members of the Women's Auxiliary organization. Mr. Glover was cheered by the delegates as the author of the civil rights bill in the New Jersey Legislature before he was made speaker of the House of Delegates of the state. His attitude in this matter, he stated, was reflected in the general attitude of Postmaster General Brown in the conduct of the department. "The Postmaster General," he said, "has asked me to give to the convention salutation and greetings with an appreciation of the large and loyal part colored people are taking in the postoffice and its work. Their spirit is one of loyalty and co-operation. I have served under four Postmasters General and with no exception, I may say, Mr. Brown has above all the lofty conception of a fair deal for all, a spirit bound to permeate through the service so that the colored employees may be assured that their prospects are more brilliant than ever. If the Postmaster General is (Continued on page 2) TRIES TO STOP FIGHTING WOMEN; BEATEN UP HIMSELF Kenneth Holley, of 1720 Eighth street, northwest, learned a lesson about fights between women on last Sunday morning, July 21. That lesson was to leave them alone. In the house in which he was visiting in the 2300 block of Eighth street, northwest, two women whom he did not know began to quarrel. The quarrel led to a fistic combat, and Holley attempted to separate them. One of the irate women, displeased at Holley's attempted peace arbitration, knocked the peace arbitrator out with a water glass, ten fingernails, her feet, and her teeth. Seven stitches in different parts of his face proved to Holley that women will be women and must be left alone when fighting. ENOUGH TO GOVERN THEM- SELVES? SEE STORY PAGE 8 SUIT FILED TO RECOVER AMT. MISSING Ex-Treasurer Says He Will Account for Every Penny Received Seeking to recover $8,000 which it is alleged came into the possession of Isaac W. Scott, 1455 Corcoran street, northwest, while he was treasurer of the Odd Fellows' Hall Association, of 1606 M street, northwest, the association filed suit in District Supreme Court, on Tuesday, against Mr. Scott. The bill recites that Mr. Scott has refused to turn the money over to the association's board of directors despite their demands. The association is represented by Attorney Wm. C. Martin and Howard, Hays and Davis. This is one of the oldest organizations in the District, and the filing of the suit, Tuesday, has created a bit of sensation. Henry Braxton, who was installed as treasurer of the association in January, states that when he went to the bank and expected to find $5,714.02 on deposit, which his book calls for, he found only $130.25. He wants to know where the difference is and have it placed to the credit of the Odd Fellows' Hall Association. Makes No Statement Mr. Scott was asked for a statement by the Tribune. He referred the reporter to his lawyer, James Neil, saying that he had no statement to make at present. Mr. Neil said that he was sure that Mr. Scott can account for every penny that he received. From reports it appears that Attorney Wm. O. Davis, 1624 Fifteenth street, northwest, is the agent for the association, who received the rent money from the various lodges using the hall and deposited it in the bank. He made his reports to the board of directors, who accepted it and turned the report over to the secretary. Asking Mr. Davis what he had to say regarding the affair, he said: "I have absolutely nothing to say." It is reported that the whole affair has been laid before the District Attorney and the matter is expected to be placed before the grand jury for action. Eagle Harbor Citizens To Hold Election Election of five commissioners for Eagle Harbor will take place on Saturday, August 10, at the Norman Hotel.

REVENUE MEN CALLED (Cottiined Ben page 1) ‘victrolas, and music after mid- ‘night, An ordinance requiring an- nual licensing of hotels was passed, The most unusual thing is, how- ever, that no penalty is announced for violation of any of these rules, nor have the ordinances been adopted according to the provisions of the state law. Raid Is Staged The raid was staged, it is claimed by leading citizens, to hurt the candidacy of Mr. Ware for commissionership in the election which takes place Saturday, by those responsible for giving false information to Annapolis pour Some of the citizens strongly as- sert that the situation in the town will not improve and that there will be constant friction as long as Prof. Haley Douglass is mayor or a member of the commission board. They point to his recent attempt to fence off Venice Beach citizens, and close a communicating driveway. These people would elect for mayor Dr. William Wells, who has shown progressive ideas, and for commissioners Mr. Rich- ard Ware, Mr. Roscoe Evans, Mr. Thomas Williams, Mr, _ Joseph Douglass, and “Mrs. Robert, Ter- reall. Ware's Business Ware further stated that he was begged by the late Major Charles Douglass to buy property at High- land Beach and ‘start some busi- ness there, for he, Douglass, was tired of seeing nothing booming. Douglass suggested that since Bowen's retirement as a boarding house keeper, a good big hotel was desirable. Since erecting his hotel, Ware says he has done everything possible for the best interests of the people there, He has refused consistently to allow improper use of his hotel, He fired an employee a year ago who was suspected of selling liquor. He has for years allowed the town’s people to use his spacious porch for weekly dances to secure money. for a pa- yilion, to have community meet- ings, ‘and for religious purposes. Last week he gave permission to two prominent ladies to have devo- tions on the porch Sunday’ eve- nings. He pays more taxes into the town and county than does any other citizen, and has given freely and worked freely on the roads of the town, The hotel ts his living, and he is supported by some of ‘the best pecsle in. the town and is opposed by a small sel- fish clique that finds they have bought in the center of Main street and on the one big day a week find themselves annoyed by crowds of which their friends are not a part, Ware says he does not know whether he will be elected since the perpetration of this cheap trick, but he feels that the pun- ishment ‘will fallback om’ those who gave the false news to the Annapolis authorities.

When John D. Gainey, first col- ored assistant chief clerk at large, died this year, there was an in- sistent demand that the job be given toa white man, But I had a place in my organization for a man of Gainey’s ability and I felt that the place belonged to one of the 22,000 colored employees of the department. “So I selected Emory A. Bryant, of Washington, D.C., because he had come up through the ranks as a clerk and he knew what the job meant, He is now filling it with credit to himself and to the de- partment.

J. Raymond Henderson, the pas. tor, whom it is claimed was tc profit from the bribe money. These letters showed that Rev. Henderson sought his influence in getting an jappointment to preach for the first Sunday in July. These letters he claim are dated at least two weeks after the alleged bribe mon- ey_was proffered. ‘The incident has caused consid- erable excitement in the church. ‘The older members are fearful that another split may result. This [was the case when the late Rev. ‘Willis was elected. ‘Three In Line The three ministers who are un- der consideration are the Rev. C. ‘T. Murray, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; the Rev. J. B. Adams, of Brooklyn, N, Y.; and the Rev. C. M. Allen, of Franklin, Va. The statement of Maxwell and Washington is as follows: “The pulpit committee recom- mended at the last church meeting Rev. W. T. Murray, Rev. J. B. ‘Adams, and Rev. C. M. Allen, The committee was questioned relative to the method by which the choice had been made, Finally Mr. Max- well arose and exposed the trap which had been Jaid by himself and Mr. Washington to determine if a certain member of the committee could be influenced by money. “This was the plan: Maxwell and Washington alleged that they gave H. W. Johnson $100 to bring to. the church their candidate, Rev. J, Raymond Henderson. ‘This was done not to bring about Rev. Hen- derson’s election, but to-have him return and preach, Johnson ac- cepted the money and had Rev. Henderson to return. Rev. Hen- derson knew nothing about the plan. Defends Rev. Henderson “This statement is made to clear the situation and prevent any breath of suspicion upon the good name of Rev, Henderson, “whom we believe to be an upright Chris- tian gentleman and honest and sincere. “We acknowledge that we laid the trap which caught Johnson and paid him with our money. We take all responsiblity and declare that Rev. Henderson was in no way connected with it nor did any- thing that would reflect upon his integrity.” The Rev. Henderson added: ‘T am glad my name was not recom- mended by the pulpit committee of the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Unfortunately I was in- vited back as a means of ‘testing’ whether such was possible for a monetary consideration. “T stated at, the church when T was there and I reaffirm it ni that T have one of the best publ in the country and can stay there as long as I please, provided I be- have myself.” Man Struck by Street Car Dock Holman, 63, of 1715 Wil- lard street, northwest, was struck by a Chevy Chase street car at Seventeenth and U streets, Mon- day night, while crossing the street. He was carried to the Emergency Hospital, where he was treated for possible fracture of the skull. He was in a semi-con- scious condition, Tuesday, when the hospital was called. Edward Craven was the motorman of the ear which struck Holman, and C. E. Potter, enoductor. Quite a crowd assembled, for it was. some- time before he was removed to the hospital. A passing motorist of- fered to take him to the hospital, but he could not be moved until authorized or by hospital ambu- lance. - eh ‘Masons Raise $1,300 At Furniture Rally More than $1,300 was raised at 2 rally of the Masonic fraternity on last Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the New Masonic Temple building. This is part of a fund which will be used in furnish. ing and equipping the lodge and chapter rooms in the new temple. ‘The program included addresses by Grand Master Al E. Dotson, William W. Cohran, member of the Grand Lodge board of trus- tees; and John T. Risher; vocal solos by Mrs, Mattie E. Norris and Miss Carrie Toyer; and selections by the Masonic Band Orchestra. Mrs. wary E. Taylor, chairman of the temple drive committee, was in charge of arrangements. CONGREGATIONAL DELEGATES RETURN Jean Murray and Milton Hines, delegates from the Lincoln Me- morial Congregational Church to the Congregational Young Peo- ple’s Conference, returned on last Monday from Blairstown, N.J., where the conference was. held. The two Washington delegates were the only colored persons at- tending the convention which had over three hundred delegates, ‘The conference time was spent partly in studies aid partly in recreation. There were regular classes in “World Friendship,” “Bi- ble Study,” and “The Pilgrim Idea,” all taught by teachers who ad practical experience in their eld. <, Both of the delegates led, their classes, and Miss Murray achieved the honor of being chosen a dea- coness at the communion service, Sunday. Miss Murray rereived 129 votes out of a possible 134, to win this honor. Girl Leads Services Miss Murray also was chosen captain of the boys’ and girls’ mixed baseball team, and led one of the Evening Sunset Services. “The most interesting class,” said Miss Murray, “was the class in World Friendship. We read Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems in class, and talked of the progress of the Negro and the great strides he has made in his struggle for recognition. “The feeling of race prejudice that usually exists at such meet- ings was entirely absent there. We were all treated as one large fam- fly, and there was entirely no dis- crimination. We were asked to tell our churches to send more mem- bers of our race to this conference because it does more to break down interracial prejudice than any other teaching.” CLAIMS WIFE HAD ANOTHER HUSBAND pieneh Attorney Howard, Hayes & Davis, Joseph Skinner filed suit in the District popes Court last Thursday for annulment of his marriage to Lillie M. Skin- ner. In his petition he alleges that his wife under her maiden name of Lillian McKinley married James Washington, on December 12,1912, and at the time she went through ‘a marriage ceremony with him she had not been divorced. Skinner married her September 24, 1925. They lived together three years. Sg BOY LOSES FINGERS Frank Holland, young son of Cornelius Holland, of Lincoln Park, Md, was painfully injured. while on 'a visit to his grandfather at Gum Spring, Va., last week. It is said he was attempting to re- pair a bicycle and found what he supposed to be a piece of old cop- per wire with which he proceeded to make a rivet. On cutting the copper, it exploded and tore his thumb’ and two fingers from his left hand and badly mangled the vight hand. He was talren to Alex- andria Hospital. His condi- tion is somewhat improved at this time. A cousin who was standing near- by yas slightly bruised by fying particles of the metal. It is thought the metal contained dynamite though its presence can- not be accounted for. ee oe BARRY FARMS Mrs. Louise Craig, of Philadel- phia, Pa., was a visitor here for five days, stopping with ber moth er, Mrs. L.

It is believed that a short- circuit in electric wires caused the blaze. So dense was the smoke from the large py of inflammable material in tRe store, that the fire- men were forced to don gas masks before entering the place. A crowd of several hundred spectators watched the firemen as they bat- tled the blaze. Mrs. B. Alexander, proprietress of the gift shop, stated that she had left the building only a few minutes before the fire was dis- covered, She indicated that the loss was fully covered by. insur- ance. It is understood that stamps, money-order forms, and other pos- tal supplies of the sub-postal sta- tion which is housed in the store, were not damaged. This is the second fire to occur in the Lewis Building. In April of last year a blaze, starting in the Club Boheme in the basement, spread rapidly through the build- ing and did $10,000 damages be- fore being extinguished after three alarms had called out all fire ap- paratus in this section of the city.

VANDENBERG T0 SPEAK BEFORE LAWYERS CONV, DETROIT, Mich,—United States Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, of Grand Rapids, Mich., has been in- [ited by President C. Francis Stradford to speak at, the annual session of the National Bar Asso- ciation in Detroit, Mich, upon. the subject, “Re-Apportionment.” Sen- ator Vandenberg is the champion of a fair and politically just re- ‘apportionment of political repre- sentation between the several states. The subject of re-appor~ tionment is one of great interest to the Negro group at this time in view of the great agitation for the enforcement of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution, for the reason that he re-apportionment issue has within its lengthened shadow col- lateral consideration of the 14th and 15th Amendments which neces- sarily become involved when the number of Congressmen to which certain Southern states are en- titled, is reduced by re-apportion- ment due to growth and shifting of population.

The entire staff in an auto caravan of 13 cars left the offices at ten o'clock Sunday morning, and motorized of the resort. Baseball was first on the program, and everyone joined in the games. There were many other activities, such as croquet and horseshoe pitching, in which each one had a chance to play. After a time, the entire party started for the beach, where it was said that they could bathe from the shore. One car got through safely, but Mr. Scurleck's was hopelessly mired in one of the many ruts in the road. He was given a helping hand by the entire crowd, but the wheels only seemed to sink deeper. Cars Are Mired In a few minutes, those who had gotten through the mire, came back reporting that the water was too muddy for bathing. Other cars, starting to return to Shady Rest, were mired, although not so deeply as that of Mr. Scurlock. Finally, after an untiring effort of nearly 45 minutes, Mr. Scurlock's car was freed, and in a few minutes, the party returned to the hotel, everyone hungry. After a picnic lunch, they journeyed to another part of the shore, hired a boat and sailed to a shallow sand bar, where nearly everyone enjoyed the fine swimming. They were joined here by Mr. Raymond Murray's boat, the Chubby Dee, and by a boat owned by Fred Pelham. After a brief time in the water, the party returned to the hotel, and played baseball, croquet, and enjoyed a watermellon feast until time for their departure.

Of the 6,686 students registered this week, 2,600 are in the colored schools, according to the report of L. L. Perry, acting assistant superintendent. There are 1,051 in senior high school classes which are being conducted at the Shaw Junior High building, while Dunbar is undergoing repairs. There are 408 junior high students at the Garnet-Patterson building, and 1,141 in the elementary classes. There are more students in the junior and senior high schools than in the elementary grades, the total being 1,459, while there are only 1,141 in the grades.

Baltimore, Md., was seriously injured. Wednesday morning, July 24, when the car in which he and his mother were driving to Washington plunged into an embankment near the District line. The boy, who was driving the car at the time of the accident, was going at a moderate rate of speed. For no apparent reason his car plunged to one side of the road. He could not regain control, and the car crashed into a concrete embankment when he tried to stop it. He is in Freedmen's Hospital with a fractured skull and a gash in the side of the face. Physicians say his condition is serious, but, barring complications he should recover. FOR RENT—SEASHORE COTTAGES TWO houses, 1 on the bay; can be furnished if desired for month of August.

Eight-Year-Old Girl Hit In Head By Flying Horseshoe While little Anna Walden, age 8, of 1659 Kramer street, northeast, was playing near a group of boys pitching horseshoe, the boys started to argue over the game. One of them threw a horseshoe at another. The horseshoe missed the boy, and hit Anna on the head. The child fell unconscious and was carried to Freedmen's Hospital in a taxi by her sister, Miss Veretta Evell, of the same address. At the hospital she was found to be suffering with severe lacerations of the scalp which required three stitches. The assailant was unknown, nor could the child give a description of him when questioned by the police. CHILD EATS LYE FOR DINNER; BURNED SEVERELY Much consternation prevailed in the home of little five-year-old Irene Brown, of 2150 Eighth street, northwest, when her mother, Mrs. Frances Brown discovered that the child had selected a can of lye for her evening meal, last Thursday, July 18. About 7 o'clock, Thursday evening, Mrs. Brown stated, Frances came to her complaining of burning in her stomach and mouth. On examination the mother found alkali burns around her mouth and nearby a can of lye, almost empty.

Because of the rain and cool weather that prevailed during the last few weeks, attendance at the various playgrounds of the city has fallen a little below normal. However, with the coming of warmer weather, more and more children and grown-ups are coming out and taking part in the activities. There are many new inducements for the increased interest. In the first place, there is a city-wide track meet for boys to be held on August 28, and one for girls on the 29th. These meets will be staged at the Cardozo playground, First and I streets, southwest. The prize, a large silver loving cup, goes to the playground scoring the largest number of points. There are medals and badges for the individual winners. The playground winning the cup three times in succession gets it as a permanent possession. Howard is the present holder, having wrested it from Birney after that playground had held it for two consecutive years. Another inducement is the horse-shoe tournament, which is attracting attention all over the city. Every playground is working diligently to make the contest a success. Old and young alike are getting in trim for the big championship tournament. The directress of the Garnet-Patterson playground, Mrs. Nellie Smith, wishes to clear up the idea that the recent fight near the grounds, in which a boy was accidentally killed, occurred on the playground. She says that there is a crowd of boys who hang around the outside of the playground after it has closed, and it was among these boys that the fight developed. News of the death seemed to link up the playground with the tragedy, and gave the impression that the grounds are not safe. On the other hand, the playground is under expert supervision, and there is no safer place in the vicinity. The Garnet-Patterson playground is promoting intra-mural activities, besides preparing for the city-wide track meet. Baseball teams have been organized, and a regular school series has been started. Of the three teams entered early in the week, the Braves are leading. The other teams are the Lightnings and the Giants. A notice posted in the Y.M.C.A. lobby reads: "Every Saturday night is amateur night at WJSV. Any member of this club, duet, or trio, is invited to register his, her, or their name with the program manager, 339 Pennsylvania avenue, as soon as possible. Plenty of fun and refreshments. WJSV is a Klux station, and 339 Pennsylvania avenue is the Washington office of The hiking club of Garnet-Patterson has just returned from a trip to Colton, Va., where they spent ten days, hiking both down and back. The party had as an honored visitor one day Representative Oscar DePriest, who inspected the camp. Work has been started on a permanent camp site and a club house is being built. Part of the time was spent as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Tolson, mother and father of Raymond Tolson, a member of the club. The hike was under the direction of Leo Wilson, physical director of Garnet-Patterson. Those who went on the hike were Charles Graham, Frank Warf, Raymond Tolson, Phillip Queen, and William Simpson. Alma Heyward is hailed as the winner of the girls' tennis tournament, held at the Howard playground last week. Helen Hughes is the runner-up, and got second place. In the boys' tournament, James Hopkins won in the class under sixteen, and Joseph Sewell captured the prizes for those between 16 and 18. There was a large number of entries, and much interest was shown in the contests. We received a letter a few days ago from the Sandy Springs Stars that speaks for itself. Sandy Springs, Md. "Dear sir, "I see in your paper that the Hillsdale club was kind enough to write us up for the games they lost, but neglected to give account of the four games they won. They also neglected to state that they received well over one hundred dollars for playing out here. "The Star club feels highly honored in playing against such a team. We played the Myrtle A. C., a much faster club, to the score of 2-3 in our favor, and booked them for a return game. We would be glad to meet any of the really fast clubs, and if they come out to play ball, we will not only make it pleasant for them and their company, but will pay them as well.

Annacostia Juniors Beat Manchester by 7 to 1 The Annacostia Juniors added the twenty-fifth to their chain of victories at the expense of "Ed" Whitaker's crack Manchester nine in Annacostia, last Sunday, July 21.

Irwin, Queen the winner's screw MORNING STARS WIN ELK DISTRICT BASEBALL CHAMPIONSHIP Johnny Crutchfield Defeats Joe Stewart in Close Battle MORNING STARS RUN ALL OVER COLUMBIANS MORNING STARS RUN ALL OVER COLUMBIANS Before a crowd of almost three thousand that attended the Elks' annual joint field day held at the American League Park last Saturday, the Morning Star team won a decisive victory over the Columbians, beating them, 16 to 2. The Morning Stars were presented with a large silver loving cup by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson in token of their victory, and a baseball autographed by Mr. Wilson. They also won the Federal Clothing Store prize of f130. The game was not much to look at. From the beginning the Columbians seemed completely outclassed and the Morning Stars looked more experienced. They completely romped away with the game, scoring five runs in the second, five in the third, one in the fourth, two in the fifth, and three in the ninth. Briscoe was yanked in the third after allowing nearly ten runs to come in, and his successor could not do much better, although he held them scoreless during the sixth, seventh and eighth. The game was full of errors. Columbia making six, and Morning Star contributing three. No one got over two hits, although Davis scored three runs on walks. Columbia.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JULY 26, 1929 Departmental OPE W.C. Tranyham Enjoying a one game lead over Neavy Yard, its nearest rival, G. P. O. is at this stage of the race in a good position to win the late series. The coming postponed games may have an important bearing on the outcome. Should the Aggies and G. P. O. break even in their tilts and the Navy Yard trim either team, the whole situation will be changed. G. P. O. has a remote chance to cap the first series as there are five more games yet to be played. These games will follow immediately after the conclusion of the second series. All the Aggies need to chinch victory is to win one game from the Printers. Treasury has been a bitter disappointment all during the latter half, not only failing to win a game but the players have even refused to come out, the result being many forfeits. The Vets have been unable to overcome the first inning jinx. Most of the games jost have been in the first. The only good showing made was against the Aggies, when their full strength was launched. Navy Yard has been going good, having the cream of the pitching staff and hte games lost have taken no prestige away as each was close and well played throughout. In one game, Navy Yard lost to Agriculture 2-0. "Spike" Spencer the umpire recalled the day when he was playing with the Gunners years ago, and such games were common occurrences. The rumor that Spike's eyes were bad and he could not get a around to follow plays is unfounded, and if the years have reduced the veteran's speed, no play as yet has come up that he has not been 'on top.' His keen eyes have missed nothing, summing everything up, he still ranks with the best. FRANCIS POOLS MAKE PLANS FOR MEETS Plans are rapidly progressing at the Francis Pools for three swimming meets to be held there during the next month. There will be two all-for-glory meets, in which there is competition but no prizes, and the second annual meet, in which handsome prizes are awarded the victors. The first of the all-for-glories will take place on Saturday, August 17, and the second will be held the next Saturday, August 24. The final, crowning meet will take place the next Saturday, August 31st. The pool has made great progress during the past year. So far 95 persons have won beginners' Red Cross buttons, and 35 have been awarded swimmers' buttons. The management of the pool says that, with the free instruction and help given to beginners, there is no reason for anyone in the city not being able to swim. Many Golf Tourneys Are Scheduled At Fairview and Westfield, N.J. Many Golf Tourneys Are Scheduled At Fairview and Westfield, N.J. FAIRVIEW, N.J.—Etries are now received from all over the country for the third annual championship golf tourney to be held next August 26, 27, and 28, at the Fairview Golf Club here, Proceeds of the tournament will go to the U.S.C.G. Open and amateur tournaments to be held at the Shady Rest Country Club in Westfield, N.J. Two courses will be used for the match play. All players to qualify Monday, August 26, will play their matches over the difficult Cobbs Creek layout. Others will play at the Karung course, just opposite Cobbs Creek. The defeated eights will also play over the Karung course. The second annual Inter-Club match between the St. Nicholas Golf Club of New York and the Fairview Golf Club will be played at Shady Rest on July 29. Each club will have a team of nine play- Crutchfield-Stewart Fight One of The Best Seen Here This Season Young Harry Wills Wins Another; Kid Taylor Victorious Coming back, after having been almost knocked out himself, with a stiff array of hard, pile-driving rights to the face, Johnny (Sailor) Crutchfield, of the Navy Yard, stepped into Joe Stewart with everything he had to win the welterweight championship of the city last Monday night at Williams Park. The fight was the best staged at the park this season. The boys were almost exactly matched, being the same weight, and having fought once before to a draw decision after six rounds in which neither could get the better of the other. It was only a question of which one could last longest. Johnny led off fast and furious, and Joe, who had become familiar with his style in the previous fight, came back just as fast and just as furious. Both were working for a knockout. Johnny had the edge over Joe in the first few rounds, but along about the fifth the sailor seemed to tire and slow up. Johnny stepped in with some straight rights to Joe's face that didn't make it look any better. Johnny cam eafter him furiously, and Joe stuck his foot in the way. Joe stumbled and slid into a corner, but was up in a second. Johnny jabbed hard with his left straight in Joe's sore face, and Joe was jus tabout out at the final gong. Johnny was given the judge's decision, which carried with it the welterweight championship of Washington. Kid Fry, of 1530 Twelfth street, challenged the winner. They will probably meet in the big match scheduled for August 5. The preliminaries were all good. The first had Young Harry Wills meeting Frankie Smith. Harry was a little shorter in statue, but worked on Frankie's stomach and backed him to the ropes several times in the first round. Frankie got a little better in the second, but was handicapped by not having water to cool him off between rounds. However, Frankie managed to land quite a few hard ones to Harry's stomach and face, and chased him around the ring for a minute, Frankie tried to wrestle most of the time, and Harry had to push him off. Harry succeeded in ducking most of Frankie's hard ones. They were both going strong at the final bell, and Harry had only a little edge, probably from his greater experience as a fighter that Spartan Club Under New Manager Triumphs In Slugfest, 16 to 8 Spartan Club Under New Manager Triumphs In Slugfest, 16 to 8 In a game played last Saturday, July 20, the Spartans, led by Ralston "Rock" Matthews, were victorious over the Terror A. C.'s by the score of 16-8. This was their first victory after four straight defeats. The game was a pitchers' battle between Lloyd "Pete" Washington, and "Joe" Kaiser. The Spartans benefited greatly by the wildness of Kaiser and his teammates' loose fielding. "Pete" hurled masterful ball until the ninth, when the Terrors nicked him for four counters. Marshall Nick and Eddie Henry led at bat with two and three hits, respectively. Former manager "Crip" Henry drew four walks in four attempts at bat. The Spartans scored six runs in the third inning on a combination of errors, walks and hits, the biggest blow being a triple to deep center by Captain "Pyne" Armstrong with two on bases and two out. This was followed by a double to left by "Rock" on the next pitched ball. "Joe" Kaiser was the outstanding player of the game, although on the losing side. Navy Defeats Vets With First Inning Rally Amassing six runs in the first inning, Navy Yard easily defeated Veterans Bureau, 11 to 2, in a game played last Tuesday, July 23rd. Pleasant had easy going all the way. A homer by Ross with one on account for all the Vets' runs. Reed pitched the final inning and although nicked for two hits, kept the plate clear. Thomas was the victim of miserable support, the entire team, with the exception of "Buck" Carroll, making glaring miscues that helped pile up the lead. Twyman finished, but was unable to stop the sluggers. Smith and Pleasant both hit homers. Hawks Win Final Game Major Jackson's Woodburn Hawks, last year's Piedmont A.C., winners of the class B title in the Tribune League, and now under the management of Tom Payne, decisively clinched the final game of O gave him a decision over his opponent. Frankie's a great little fighter, and a few more bouts like that ought to get him in shape to beat anybody. Harry, of course, knows his onions, and Frankie was easy for him. Taylor Wins The second prelim had Willie Beater meeting Kid Taylor. Taylor seemed to be the more powerful, and backed Willie around into the corners. However, Willie always managed to twist out. Willie had a lot of trouble with the wet floor in the third, and in the last, Taylor had Williams almost through the ropes twice. Taylor won the decision. George Joy and Speedy Dixon filled the next place. Speedy let loose a few hard rights to the stomach, and Joy socked him on the jaw. The fight was pretty even all the way. Joy pushed Speedy all over the ring, but Speedy kept on hitting Joy as best he could in the clinches. The fight was called a draw by the judges, Mayor Luckett, of Capital Heights, Councilman Hunt, of the same city, and Ed Lawson, sports editor of the Tribune. Jeff Thomas acted as referee. On next August 5, there will be a special benefit performance for Billy Peyton, an old time fighter who is helping these boys to get into shape. Besides the Kid Fry-Crutchfield fight, Billie Edwards will meet Young Siki, and Willie Carter will face Johnny Smith. Bouts with either Johnny Crutchfield or Young Harry Wills may be had by calling Mr. Lee, their manager, 1580 Twelfth street; North 7722. G. P. O.

Beverly pitched the final inning, striking out three after being greeted by a double. Three solid smacks, netting two runs, sent Hughes to cover in the last inning. Bland taking the mound with two out and the tying run on first. He pitched one ball, when Barner, attempting to steal, was thrown out, Davis to Dandridge, and the game was over. a three-game series last Sunday, July 21, on the Anacostia home grounds, to the tune of 18-6. The most notable thing about the game was the pitching of the young portsider, Carter. The Hawks challenge teams in Washington Baltimore, and nearby towns. They have victories over the Myrtle A.C., the Brooklyn A.C., and the Oriental Tigers to their credit. Book Your FALL AND WINTER DANCING DATES Now At MURRAY'S CASINO 920 You Street, N.W.

Wells and Bell, shortstop and centerfielder, respectively of the St. Louis Stars, tied for the base stealing honors. Young, second string catcher of the Kansas City Monarchs, led the Negro League in batting for the first half. Satchell, star right-hander of the Birmingham Black Barons, struck out 18 Detroit players in a nine-inning game. Uncle Ben Taylor, manager of the Atlantic City Bees, is playing Walker, a recruit from the coast, in short field. He seems to be doing quite well. "Harry" Jeffries, former third baseman for the Baltimore Black Sox, is now catching for the American Giants of Chicago. "Bunny" Hayes, right hander on the pitching staff of George Rossiter's Sox, is hurling very creditable ball this year. "Aggie" Clark, first string catcher of the Baltimore team, is a great man behind the plate. He is at his best when receiving throws from the outfield and meeting runners trying to score from third. Spearman, the Lincoln Giants' receiver, is hitting hard and timely for "Pop" Lloyd's team. Thomas, Holmes, and Everett are a clever team of slabmen uncovered by the foxy Lloyd. "Chappie" Johnson has a clever fielding shortstop in youth Dobson, who is playing with Chappie in Canada. Wayne Carr, clever right hander, formerly with the Washington Potomac, is also with Chappie's team. HILLSDALES DEFEAT BROOKLAND GIANTS IN TENTH INNING In a hard-fought baseball game that went ten innings, the Hillsdale team defeated the Brookland Giants in a game played in Brookland, last Sunday, July 21. Brookland led off with a four-run rally in the first frame, after which J. Levi, the Hillsdale's star pitcher, held them scoreless. Hillsdale squeezed out one tally in the fourth and two in the fifth, and then put one over in the ninth to tie the score. In the tenth, a last minute rally brought in three runs, enough to insure the Hillsdales of their uphill victory. Levi held the Brooklanders scoreless in the last frame, and the Hillsdales were victorious, 7-4. Hilldale H R E B.

BLACK SOX WIN COUPLE FROM ORIENTALS The rejunivated Black Sox, by heavy clouting, won both games of a double bill from the strong Orientals, Sunday. Maloy was driven to cover in the third inning. Bland relieving him with the bags loaded and none out. He gave a fine performance, retiring the side in order, and holding them safe the rest of the way. Russell was hit hard by Nickens, who gathered four hits, including a homer and a triple, driving in most of the Sox's runs. Powell's relief role was futile, the damage having been done. In the night cap, the Sox came from behind, scoring five runs in the final inning to turn a seeming defeat into victory. Pinch hitters played an imiportant part. Smith went the route, although he got off to a bad start, he settled down and came through in fine style.

The association has established a reputation for the past twenty-five years for the staging of the most cosmopolitan event of a clean and orderly nature in this section of the country. This is the twenty-sixth year of its operation. The novel program will include six races and twenty ring classes for fancy bred horses, and a large number of races, exhibitions, and contests for all classes of horses. WHISTLED TUNE WHILE PUSHING CART WHISTLED TUNE WHILE PUSHING CART Whistling "How Dry I Am," and pushing a cart with 24 quarts of alleged whiskey, is not a good combination, so Percy Short said, Monday night, when he was rudely halted on One-Half street, southwest. Becoming suspicious of Short's tune, the policemen, P. M. Creel and E. W. Gore asked Short what he had in the cart. He did not stop to answer, but ran and outdistanced the officers for three blocks. Under she black cloth, which covered the cart 24 quarts of alleged whiskey was found and Short was booked for illegal possession. Your FOR DANCING DATES At CASINO 00 You Street, N.W. Potomac 1667 "BAMBOOLA" CLOSES AS CAST WALKS OUT - FAIL TO PAY OFF Actors Take One-Third Cut In Salary For Two Weeks NEW YORK, N.Y.—After taking a one-third cut in salary for two weeks, the entire cast of the new musical show, "Bamboola," walked out when Jimmie Cooper, producer, failed to show up to pay them off. A comfortably large gathering was in the theatre for the Friday night performance, and the orchestra was in the pit. Alli Ross, orchestra director, led his fourteen union men out of the pit when no money showed up. The patrons waited, disgruntled, for a while, and then demanded their money back. The admission price was refunded them as they filed out. The cast of the show, taking their cue from the orchestra, quit the show. They said that they had been promised their regular money by the producers, and that they had been hoping that things would turn out better. The producers said that the show had failed to make expenses, and that they had lost money on it. They say that they had given the cast two weeks' notice to close. Isabelle Washington, former star of the ill-fated "Harlem," was also star of this production. Revella Hughes, a Washington girl, was also a principal in the cast, doing most of the singing. "NOAH'S ARK" COMES TO THE LINCOLN At the Lincoln Theatre, beginning Saturday, July 27, and running through Friday, August 2nd, "Noah's Ark," mightiest of talking pictures, will be seen and heard. This epic of the screen took more than three years in the making, and includes over ten thousand extra characters in the cast, besides the stars who play the principal parts. Dolores Costello is starred with George O'Brien. Others are Noah Beery, Louise Fazenda, Nobel Johnson, and Joe Bonoome. The story was written by Darryl Zanuck and the mammoth production was directed by Michael Curtiz, who before coming to this country did "Moon of Israel," and other spectacular pictures. The sets for "Nosh's Ark" covered more than a square mile and the buildings necessary ranged from modern sequences, portraying Paris and scenes in the war zone and the French countryside, to staggering creations such as the Tower of Babel, temples devoted to the worship of heathen gods, marvelous scenes of the Wood, and the Ark itself—made after the pro- BROADWAY 1515 SEVENTH STREET WHERE THE SCREEN PROGRAM FOR WEEK BEFORE SUNDAY, MONDAY and —Bert Lytell in "LO Talking, Music and S WEDNESDAY and THURS 1—100% All-Talkie— Lane and Paul Page.

Washingtonians On Leesburg Program LEESBURG, Va.—The annual drive for Mt. Zion M.E. Church was given a boost Friday night by a program rendered by a troupe from Washington.

Threlkeld, two solos, the last one, "My Task," was very impressive, Rev. H. Threlkeld, pastor of Lane C.M.E. Church, was master of ceremonies. Mrs. R. C. Archer recited one of Dunbar's poems, "The Party." A feature of the program was the address by J. A. G. LuValle, who spoke on "The Church and the Home." He spoke of the crime wave and its effect on the church and home, and the decline of the Miller and Lyles In Booking Mixup 35 MILLER AND LYLES, comedians, who were booked to play at two opposing houses for the same week. Much controversy arose when they chose to go to the Park Plaza, New York, leaving the Coliseum flat. church and the apparent failure of home life.

Miller and Lyles Booked in two Theatres Same Week NEW YORK—Miller and Lyles, who closed recently in "Great Day." were booked the first half fo this week for both the Coliseum and the Park Plaza, opposition to each other. The first is an RKO house, the other an independent, recently taken over by Fox. The act decided to play the Park Plaza date, having disappointed this house once before, and left the Coliseum high and dry at the last minute, after being billed all over the town as the headline act there. According to an RKO official, steps are to be taken against Miller and Lyles, probably through ALN THEATRE STREET NEAR 12th TAPHONE AND MOVIETONE Day, Beginning Saturday, July 27 MY PICTURE EVER MADE!

Many complaints come to our desk regarding discrimination and segregation here in Washington. On investigation we find that many of our people do not know their rights and when they come upon an infraction of their rights, they do not take time to secure facts, such as names, dates, numbers and location, which are necessary to make an intelligent investigation. As an example: We have a complaint in writing, of two young women driving through Rock Creek Park, who decided to park their car and eat a lunch. They went to a table. At the next table were some white people, who called an officer and the colored girls were informed they would have to have a permit to eat at that table. The persons writing us this complaint failed to sign their names, give an address, or telephone number. They do not give the number of the picnic ground where they stopped, nor the name or number of the officer who told them they could not eat there. Upon inquiry at Col. Grant's office we find that it is the custom, not the law, but a custom of his office to issue permits to persons desiring to picnic in Rock Creek Park. Sections of the grounds are numbered so as to be designated and covered by a permit. But, there are single tables scattered throughout the park which two, three or four people can use without a permit. The young women should have asked the officer to be directed to one of these tables. The officer should have informed them of the single tables. We were not given his name or number and therefore, do not know who to question as to why he did not direct the young women to one of the single tables. The point is this, we do not know our rights and fail to secure the facts for an investigation. While the picnic grounds are covered by permits issued by Col. Grant's office, there is no law covering the issuing of these permits and apparently it is a means of segregation. It is left to the girl who issues the permits to say that a permit has been issued covering a certain ground and thereby discriminate against colored applicants. There is no section in the police regulations covering the issuing of picnic permits and it should be tested and eliminated. Know your rights and assert them. Give us complete information when writing to us, and also sign your name. If a thing is worth correcting, everyone should be willing to do his or her share.

For more of these "Uncle Toms" (docile servants, and the faster the type of the Selma edit be the race and nation, because not until made. More dociles and those who admire them need In an article appearing in the Daily News, last week, Heywood Broun said, "It is quite beside the point to ask a colored man of our generation to behave as if he belonged to a social order which has entirely passed away." This comment was provoked by an editorial in a Selma, Ala., paper which cologized an old colored man there, upon his death, who was born a slave and spent his entire life as a servant in a well-to-do white family. Not all of the slaves or slavery time people had that servile, or "Ucle Tom" spirit. It is that servant type which has retarded the progress of the race. Too many white people look for and expect, yea, desire to see the servile spirit in Negroes. Mr. Broun correctly states the situation as it exists today. The Negro has lived in this country, attended the same schools, read the same books, and reads the same papers and magazines as the white man. He has participated in war and worked in peace along with the white man. He uses the same mechanical and electrical appliances, he travels on the same train and rides in the same make of automobiles as do the whites. How can white people expect Negroes to live, move, handle and use, read and play along the same lines with them and not keep pace with their advancement? If this is really "the land of the free and the home of the brave," the editor of the Selma paper, along with thousands of other white people, do not give the proper credit to the civilization of which they boast, or they under-estimate the ability of the Negro to absorb and become a part of this civilization. The faster more of these "Uncle Toms" (docile servants) pass out of the picture, and the faster the type of the Selma editor passes, the better off will be the race and nation, because not until then can real progress be made. A few more dociles and those who admire them need to pass out of existence. HELP THOSE WHO HELP YOU The Sunlight Laundry work.

Every colored person in Washington should line up behind this fine proposition to give work to our young people and to do work. Our people are actually walking the streets looking for employment of all kinds. They are begging for jobs, while we are giving employment to other people. There is no reason why that big plant built by Miss Burroughs to serve everybody should not have so much work to do that she could employ a hundred or more capable people. Remember that is the only laundry we have and we certainly do not get a chance to clerk in any of the others—not even those branches in Negro neighborhoods. We Negroes give all our work where we can get only menial employment. We can get jobs to stand at an ironing board, but we are not given positions to sit at desks. The Sunlight Laundry is the only laundry in this city that will give you a chance to do anything from making the fire to keeping the books. Our race is looking for work and at the same time it is giving away the very work that could give it decent employment. Are we asleep or do we just like to give away opportunities and then beg for work? Call the Sunlight Laundry. Give your laundry to them. Get a job soliciting laundry or filling any other position for which you are capable. This is offered by the Sunlight Laundry. MARSHAL SNYDER LEADS THE WAY Marshal Edgar C. Snyder, of the District of Columbia, has stepped out and added another Negro deputy to his force. The appointment was made last week and was first announced in The Tribune. In making the appointment, Marshal Snyder expressed an interest in colored people: "I have been interested in the colored people," he said, "in their advancement, and in all my years of service in Washington, both as a newspaper man and an officer of the Government, I have made a great many speeches to them both in campaigns and otherwise, and have taken a very friendly interest in their work and development. I thought the thing to do under the circumstances was to give them a little bit larger representation than they have had under other United States marshals." The action of Marshal Snyder has caused much favorable comment. He is to be congratulated on his fairness. It is hoped that other departments will follow his example. Negro merchants of Los Angeles provided the prizes for the annual Field Day exercises held in that city. The Unity Industrial Insurance Company of New Orleans recently bought and donated a set of band instruments for the Negro boys of the Municipal Home. Bond Bread is running a series of advertisements in Negro weeklies of New York City which carries a photograph of and comment by some local Negro physician on the nutritive value of bread. The Dunbar National Bank, the unique Rockefeller institution located in Harlem, recently had an interesting display of rare coins. The Harlem Branch of the Chelsa Bank has moved into new quarters on Seventh avenue. Both of these banks employ both white and colored workers. Twenty-six of the Negro business men of Durham organized a motorcade and visited twenty cities in North Carolina. The purpose of the tour was to "inform Negroes of the state what the Negro is doing in business, and to create among them a greater interest in Negro business." The Service Finance Corporation has been organized in Kansas City, Kansas.

Smith NEGROES HOLD MANY JOBS IN SUFFOLK, VA. Thomas L. Dabney, writing in the Norfolk Journal and Guide, says of labor conditions in Suffolk and the Tidewater section that 1300 Negroes are employed by the Planters Peanut and Chocolate Company; and these Negroes work in "every department except the office." Continuing, Mr. Dabney says: "Two hundred Negroes are employed in the warehouses and in the various shops and small establishments of the city. Suffolk hotels and restaurants employ practically all colored help and a large number of Negroes are employed as domestic servants. The building trades and railroads absorb a goodly number of Negro workers. It is estimated that one-half of Suffolk laundry workers are colored and that 90 per cent of the section force on railroads is colored. Colored firemen are employed on shifters on the yards of Suffolk as well as brakemen."

HIGHLAND BEACH Who Owns the Streets Creates Big Community Problem; Progress Causes Present Trouble; Original Owner's Wife Ran Boarding House WAS FOUNDED TO CIRCUMVENT SEGREGATION Richard Ware Invited To Build Because Sale of Lots Was Sluggish; Taxes Collected May Soon Reach $1.000; Surveys Seem Futile (Installment I) Is Highland Beach proving that Negroes are not yet intelligent enough to govern themselves? Would the town's affairs be handled better if there were more commonplace people living there? Should the town be turned back to control by the county authorities, who are white? Is this experiment doomed to failure? Or is this state of affairs typical of the growing pains of all young communities? The writer is going to analyze the situation for the readers of this paper. She has in her possession copies of various articles published, records from the courthouse files, reports of the commissioners of past years and will confer with present and past officials and with citizens in the town. No Other Place Like It From what I have been told and have learned, I doubt if there is another community of the same size where there is greater uncertainty as to who owns land and who does not. For several years attempts, out of court, have been made to settle the ownership of streets, the waterfront ownership, and the exact location of lots. There have been surveys and resurveys and with different surveyors come different surveys. Then, there are the usual social problems. For many years, the names of Douglass, Francis, Terrell, Wormley and Bowen rested high in the roster. Then came the influx of newer people. In 1922, the town was incorporated to look after expanding needs. Soon after bigger building operations took place. Automobiles brought more people and brought them quicker. These articles will relate a history of changes which have occurred. Early History The following story of the settlement of Highland Beach was told the writer. Major Charles Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, with his wife, Laura, on a visit to Bay Ridge, a white resort were denied privileges on account of color. They walked down the beach and discovered that one of the heirs to the farm of a late William Brashears was anxious to get her share of the estate. This farm composed what is now Highland and Venice Beach. Feeling that its purchase would be a good financial investment, the late Charles Douglass, holding office in Washington and not caring to possess the property in his own name, had his son, Joseph Douglass, buy the property in conjunction with Georgianna Lane, on April 10, 1893. In the same month Joseph Douglass and Georgianna Lane divided the property, 26 acres going to Douglass and the balance to Mrs. Lane. In the same year the farm was sub-divided, a plat made and recorded in the county courthouse. and Edith E. Sproul, 21, white, and also a Columbia 'medic, were married last Wednesday. The couple rented an apartment at 141 West 113th street, where they are to live. The girls' father, Albert E. Sproul, a photographer, stated that he approved the union and would do all he could to help his son-in-law. He said: "I don't know Peterson, in fact have never heard of him before. But he will be welcome in my home, if Edith loved him enough to marry him. She is well educated and has good judgment. She must have given this serious consideration and must be well aware of what she is doing. She has her own life to live and must live it as she chooses." Peterson's father is an editorial writer on a Harlem weekly. His sister is a teacher of Spanish in the New York City schools. William Ford, chairman of the board of directors of the Owens Bottle Company of Toledo, O., is the millionaire father-in-law of Eugene Newton, and wants to separate his daughter, Dolores E. Ford, from her husband whom she married last November, in Newark, N.J. Guest List at Ware's Hotel Among those who spent the week at Ware's Hotel, Highland Beach, Md., were Miss Beulah Harris, Miss Fannie Hill, Mr. and Mrs. Woolsey W. Hall, Mr. and Mrs. Excursions were had. Bath houses were erected and rented out at 25 cents each. Mrs. Douglass kept a boarding house. Lots were sold in 1893, 1894, 1895 and 1896 to M. C. Terrell, Jerome Johnson, Dr. J. C. Francis, George Bowen, Walter Napper, Mary Wormley, Imogene Wormley and Charles Browne. Four or five homes were built. Then for years there was a lull. Following the razing of the old Bay Ridge resort, and a ready supply of lumber, other homes were erected. Meanwhile, in 1897, Major Douglass received through sale, the lots unsold while the property was in the name of Joseph. The deed specifically mentions only the lots, leaving all the rest of the farm in the streets and in the beach in the name of Joseph Douglass. This seems to show that the Major knew that he could not sell streets and the beach. New Selling Plan Another advertising plan to sell lots began anew. Among these newer buyers was Richard Ware, whose coming has added to beach life. Ware tells the story, that Douglass said he was tired of the backwardness of the place because lots were not being sold fast enough, and asked him to come down and get some of his best lots, which he did. Ware then built a hotel that spread all over his lot. From Washington, Philadelphia, and other places came many to buy and build. With this coming civic problems increased. Automobiles, better roads, sanitation, fire protection, parking of cars, electric lights and policing were to be dealt with. To meet this, Major Douglass, Mrs. Terrell and other citizens favored incorporation. The legislature granted the incorporation articles and named Osborn Taylor, Eula Ross Grey, Edwin B. Henderson. Haley G. Douglass, and Dr. Milton Francis as incorporators. Town Gets Revenue The town now received a goodly portion of the money collected from taxes and was allowed to levy taxes for other purposes. This sum yearly increases and soon will reach the $1,000 mark. As your correspondent views it, there are three underlying principles basic to all the disturbances that have made the little town good summer news to Negroes. First, there is the attempt on the part of original owners to hold on to every property right they think they have. Secondly, some of the purchasers and home owners want to know what their rights are with regard to the beach and the streets. Third, many of the older inhabitants would prefer the peaceful quiet of the older days, while the later day owners of homes and the younger people would like to see lights, good streets, board walks piers, pavilions, modern amusement of one form or another. Our next instalment will explain some of the problems in detail. (Continued next week.)

TOTTEN SENTENCED KANSAS CITY, Mo. The trial of Eddie Thomas, slugger of Assistant General Organizer A. L. Totten, was held in Kansas City, Mo. Monday, July 15. Despite the fact that a startling and amazing six-page confession had been made and signed by Eddie Thomas before Assistant Prosecutor Gorman and Special Prosecutor John M. Langsdal, Totten's assailant was given a light sentence, by the jury, of three months' imprisonment. Such cases of assault, under the law, require a sentence of not less than two years, say recognized lawyers. In the confession, it was stated that if he, Eddie Thomas, got Totten, there would be no punishment meted out to him, or any arrests made. FEATURES Sure Death for Bug Pests!
