Many Protests Made Sears and Roebuck opened their retail store here Wednesday. The store had not been opened many minutes when the phones in The Tribune office began ringing and protests began coming in, telling of segregated signs on the toilets of the new store. A committee was assembled and an appointment arranged for 10:15 a.m. Thursday morning. The committee was gotten together by A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. Meeting Mr. Alvin E. Dodd, eastern manager for Sears and Roebuck, Mr. Thomas H. R. Clark, as spokesman for the committee, said that knowing of the spirit and philanthropy of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the head of this institute local management had resort were amazed and surprised to find tuition, toward colored people, we ed to such infamous indignities as labeling the toilets in this building. We are here in the interest of our civil rights, not seeking social equality but simple justice and therefore, offer our protests to this unfair discrimination. Mr. Dodd replied that it was not the spirit of Sears, Roebuck and Company to discriminate against anyone. That they were here to sell merchandise. This is not a white store nor colored store, but one for the general public. We realize that we made a mistake and I assure you that the signs will be removed. He was asked that when the signs are removed would women be forced to use the separate rest room or could they use the one most convenient to them. He said no special effort would be made to enforce the separation. Those on the committee were A. S. Pinkett, secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P.; Thos. H. R. Clarke, of the Equal Rights League; Dr. George H. Richardson, president of the Federated Civic Associations; J. C. Bruce, vice-president of the local N.A.A.C.; Rev. George A.

Following the fire, police and firemen probed the ashes but found only a few of the dimes and quarters Carroll alleged he had secreted in the walls and ceiling of the house. Carroll, as a huckster, with a horse and wagon, has been a fa- miliar figure in southeast Wash- ington for the past fifteen years. In all kinds of weather he made his rounds with his fruit and ve- getables, saving a dime or a quarter, looking forward to the time when he could buy a farm. There were five in the family; Carroll's mother, the wife, and two children. He and his wife left early Monday morning, leaving the children with their grandmother. About 9 o'clock, neighbors saw smoke coming from a window on the ground floor. They rescued the two children and the grandmother, 90 years of age, jumped from the second story window, sustaining a broken and burns of both legs. She was taken to Casualty Hospital. Firemen had to run a hose, 2,500 feet to reach the house, which might have been saved had a hydrant been nearer. WOMAN KILLED IN STREET BY LOVER Decides to Go Back to Her Husband But Third Man Kills Her on Street Mrs. Alice Metz a pretty young clerk of the Triangle Taxi Company, 14 I street, northwest, had decided to go back to her husband after a separation of almost a year, and had sent for him to come to Washington to effect a reconciliation, when she was cruelly murdered on the street by a "third man," Cardozo Bell, incensed because of the proposed reunion. While the estranged husband was rushing here from New York, Bell, whom Mrs. Metz had decided to forget, drove to the taxi company in a Ford roadster. It was early in the morning, and several Bell glanced suspiciously about the outside of the company's offices. Bel glanced suspiciously about the place, but because of the number of people around, he drove away. About twenty minutes later, he drove back to the cab company, and, with deliberate patience, stood on the running board of his car, Assessors Appointed At Fairmount Heights The board of commissioners of Fairmount Heights, newly incorporated town of Prince Georges County, Md., appointed a board of assessors at their meeting this week, composed of the following members: James F. Armstrong, one of the oldest civic workers in the town; Leroy G. Davis, architect and builder; and Prince A. Washington, prominent Elk. The assessors will begin their work after necessary preliminaries, which will require some weeks. The board accepted the offer of James A. Campbell to donate his services as town clerk-treasurer, to which position he had previously been appointed. Mr. Campbell set his fee at $1.00 per annum, the minimum under the law. Robert Palmer, chairman of the board of commissioners, thanked Mr. Campbell on behalf of the board. Charles L. Morris, Jr., appointed assistant clerk-treasurer by the commissioners, was given the oath of office by Mr. Campbell and entered upon his duties, offering his services in the same manner as the clerk-treasurer. Washington Tribune J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, left Tuesday for Atlantic City, N.J., where he will preside next week over the annual Elk's convention. COLORED PRINTER REFUSED JOB AT BUREAU OF ENG. Usual Excuse of All Jobs Taken Given as Reason For Turn Down (By J. A. G. LuValle) Can a Negro get a job under the Civil Service in the Government Department above that of janitor or elevator operator? Not hardly! The experience of Augustus L. Berry, of 724 Kenyon street, northwest, who took the Civil Service examination for linotype operator is a recent example. He took the examination about seven or eight months ago and on Friday, August 16, received a letter from the Civil Service, who had his photo, telling him to report to the Bureau of Printing and Engraving for employment. He reported the same day. Miss Beckmeyer, in charge of personnel, read his letter and sent him on to Mr. Duncan, chief of the division. Reporting to Mr. Duncan, he was looked over and told that the vacancy was filled. Tribune Investigates Mr. Berry stated that a white man followed him for the job. He waited sometime, but did not see him come out. So he concluded that he was employed. The Tribune investigated the matter, Monday, and the reporter was informed that they needed six WOMAN DISLOCATES SHOULDER; BREAKS LEG IN ACCIDENT Mrs. Jessie Stewart, 37, of 1316 Vermont avenue, northwest, suffered a dislocated shoulder and a broken arm when the car in which she was riding overturned on last Wednesday, August 20. The woman was carried into the hospital about 1:30, on Wednesday morning, by the other occupants of the car. They have so far refused all information concerning the details of the accident. She was treated by Dr. W. P. Collette, of the emergency room staff, and retained at the hospital for an operation by one of the institution's bone specialists. CRUSHES ARM IN CLOTHES WRINGER; FRACTURED Miss Lillian Bender, 19, of 1610 Fifth street, northwest a laundress employed by Mrs. E. O. Wieland (white) was painfully and perhaps seriously injured when her right arm was crushed in a washing machine with which she was working Thursday morning, August 22.

Martin's Rport to Start Fireworks WILSON IS SILENT FOR FIRST TIME Report That Fort Dearborn Lodge Has Been Suspended Cannot Be Confirmed. Holstein Making Valient Fight. By Louis R. Lautier ATLANTIC CITY, N.J., Aug 21. —Opening of the thirteenth annual grand lodge session of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks with its color, gaiety and clashes for office is eagerly awaited here. Hordes of visitors have already begun pouring in by automobile and train. The attendance is expected to be the largest in the history of the order. ARCHIBALD GRIMKE REMEMBERED ON HIS BIRTHDAY Among the members of the order the chief talk is about the election of grand exalted ruler. J. Finley Wilson, the incumbent, has held that office for the past seven years. At each grand lodge session he has successfully turned back all opposition, his personality and achievements in office being the chief factors which have kept him at the head of the organization. Treasury Low This year, however, there have been charges of extravagance, of wasteful expenditures of grand lodge funds. James C. Martin, grand treasurer, who was elected last year over James T. Carter, has split with Wilson and cast his lot with the forces of Casper Holstein, New York sportsman, who is a candidate against Wilson. Martin claims that the grand lodge treasury is depleted and blames Wilson. The affairs of the order, which (Continued on page 2) WOMAN FAINTS IN THEATRE; SICK Excitement reigned at the Lincoln Theatre last Monday night, when an unidentified woman, later found to be Mrs. Mabel Griffin, of 107 Lamont street, suddenly slumped into her seat, unconscious. The theatre was just emptying after the last show. Two Freedmens Hospital physicians, Dr. Hoffman and Dr. Lewis, who were attending the show, answered a hurried call for medical attention, and drove the woman to the hospital. Upon arrival, she was found to be in a semi-comatose state, suffering from a severe attack of syncope, and was placed in bed in the female emergency ward. She is slowly responding to medical treatment. ROSENWALD FUND DOUBLES GIFT TO ATLANTA SCHOOL ATLANTA, Ga.-At a recent meeting of the executive committee of the Julius Rosenwald Fund the annual appropriation to the Atlanta School of Social Work was increased from $2,500 to $5,000. In his application for an increased grant Mr. Forrester B. Washington, director of the school, pointed out its role as a promotional agency for social welfare, especially the conferences and short institutes conducted in various cities. Mr. Edwin R. Embree, president of the fund, wrote Mr. Washington that favorable action would be taken. Sues Over Virginia Primary NORFOLK, Va. (CNS).—Suit for $10,000 damages against three judges in the recent Democratic primary in Newport News was begun in the Federal District Court here today by J. E.

C.P., paid tribute to the distinguished services of Archbald H. Grimke on the occasion of his eightieth birthday anniversary, when on August 17, a committee consisting of Neval H. Thomas, Geo. Wm. Cook, Kelly Miller, Geo. A. Parker, and A. S. Pinkett called at his residence and presented him with a testimonial embossed on parchment and a bouquet of flowers. The delegation was received in the bedroom. Kelly Miller was the spokesman of the group, and before reading the testimonial admonished Mr. Grimke not to tax his strength by a response to what might be said. The veteran warrior was noticeably moved by the sentiments expressed and could not resist the temptation to express his appreciation for the interest manifested by his friends. CAR SKIDS; WOMAN SERIOUSLY HURT While on the road to Colton, Md, last Sunday, about 11:30 a.m., Mrs. Florence Buchan, age 44, of 929 I street, a printer's assistant working for the Western Union Telegraph Company, was seriously injured when the car in which she was riding skidded and threw her out into the road. The accident was unavoidable, say eye-witnesses on account of the hazardous condition of that section of the road. She was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where she was given first aid treatment by Dr. Theodore Gardy, of the emergency staff. She is suffering with lacerations of the knee, elbows, bruises about the legs, arms, and body, and probable internal injuries and shock. WILLIAM S.

WOMAN KICKS POLICEMAN'S NOSE Aiming the toe of her shoe at the nose of Policeman C. H. Bradley, Sunday afternoon, Lucy Gaskins, 3266 Prospect avenue, northwest, landed a kick in the mouth. Bradley alleges he was trying to arrest the woman on a charge of disorderly conduct. When the arrest was about to be made, Bradley says the woman kicked and kicked high, for he is a tall man.

TORY ON PAGE 8 WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE PROPERTY LAYOUT AT HIGHLAND BEACH? SEE STORY ON PAGE 8 Claims He Left Wife To Avoid A Physical Breakdown LOS VEGAS, Nevada—Leonard "Kip" Rhinelander, formerly of New York, slipped from public view after filing a suit for divorce against Alice Jones Rhinelander, of New Rochelle, N.Y. His attorney said he was in hiding to avoid publicity and news photographers. A summons was issued and forwarded to Mrs. Rhinelander. Under the laws of Nevada a defendant outside of the state is allowed 40 days to answer a complaint. Samuel Platt, an attorney claiming he was representing Mrs. Rhinelander in Nevada, said that he had received no instructions and declined to comment. Kip declared in his complaint he separated from his wife to avoid a physical breakdown. He charged his wife took advantage of his youth and inexperience and "so dominated him by her wiles and artifices," that she led him into marriage in 1924. Disinherited by his father and loss of friends because of the marriage caused him great humiliation. ASST. U. S. ATTY. APPOINTED IN N.Y.

WHAT IS WRITE THE PROPER AT HIGHLA SEE STORY Was Leader Among Valiant Soldiers Who Repulsed Whites' Attack Mingo Sanders, of 463 New York avenue, northwest, was carried to Freedmen's Hospital, Monday, August 12, suffering from what was diagnosed as diabetic gangrene, and his left leg was amputated on Saturday, the 17th. He died Thursday night after making a valiant fight to recover. The name of Mingo Sanders carries one's memory back to Brownville, Texas, the 25th Infantry, and President Roosevelt. He was first sergeant of Company B, of the 25th Infantry, stationed at Brownville, Texas, in August, 1906, when the post was attacked by race prejudiced Texans and the soldiers resisted the attack and were dishonorably discharged by President Theodore Roosevelt. Mingo Sanders was one of the 170 men who were dishonorably discharged on November 22, 1906. Sanders had served 25 years, 6 months, and 23 days with the 25th Infantry. He was in Cuba and spent three years in the Philippine Islands. He first enlisted May 16, 1881, and re-enlisted six times. At the expiration of his term of enlistment he was discharged with character "good," "very good," and the last three times "excellent." Mr. Sanders was not restored to military service, but was given a job in the Interior Department where he was employed when taken ill. In 1907, the military reservation of Fort Brown was transferred to the Department of Agriculture. Woman Becomes Ill On Street; Succumbs Gertrude Fairfax, age 35, of 2037 Ninth street, northwest, was taken suddenly ill on the street, and rushed to Freedman's Hospital by Robert Johnson, a taxicab driver of the Howard Cab Service.

A fall from the platform of a street car, Tuesday, landed landed Allen, of 44 Myrtle street, northeast, in a cell at the first precinct on a charge of intoxication.

LOCAL DENTIST PASSES WEST VIRGINIA BOARD Dr. Stephen J. Lewis, dentist, located at 104 Massachusetts avenue, northwest, passed the West Virginia State board recently.

TWO FEW BUSINESS MEN ATTEND CONVENTION Program Was Exceptionally Good. All Officers Re-elected By Louis B. Lautier BY LOUIS K. LADDER INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.-With an unprecedented program but a poor attendance of men and women engaged in business, the thirtieth annual session of the National Negro Business League was held here last Wednesday, Thursday and Friday. The general subject of the meeting was retail merchandising among Negroes. The league had conducted a survey of Negro business in thirty cities, and the report of this survey was brought to the meeting by Gordon H. Simpson, of Cleveland, Ohio, and B. M. Roddy, of Memphis, Tenn., as the basis of a study of the present status of Negro business. Dr. Robert R. Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, delivered his annual address at the meeting last Wednesday evening at the meeting in the auditorium of the Crispus Attucks High School. He spoke after welcoming addresses had been delivered by Mayor L. Ert Slack and Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield. John L. Webb, of Hot Springs, Ark, vice president of the league, responded to their addresses. The sessions of the Business League were held in the auditorium of the Mme. G. J. Walker building. Presentation of awards of National Negro Health Week were made by Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, of the United States Public Health Service, Washington, D.C. The city of Louisville, KY, was awarded two cups, the first being for the city of more than 100,000 population which best observed National Negro Health Week, and the other being the sweepstake prize for the city doing the most effective work of all the cities and communities that competed. Miss Mary L. Hicks, white, secretary of the Health Council of Louisville, accepted the cups for her city. The second award went to Waco, Tex., for the city of less than 100,000 population doing the best clean-up and health work. The third award went to Anne Arundel County, Md., for the county that did the most effective clean-up and health work. Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the league, in his annual report, recommended an intensive study of the retail grocery business for the ascertainment of operating costs, the extension of an invitation to newspapers to cooperate with the league in making a market analysis of Negroes, and the organization of cooperative merchants' associations in at least thirty cities. Most of the officers were reelected. F. R. Ransom, of Indianapolis, Miss Jane Hunter, of Cleveland, and Fred. R. Moore, of New York, were made vice-presidents. T. J. Elliott, of Muskegowne, Okla.; H. C. Ball, of Montgomery, Ala.; J. A. Jackson, of Washington, D.C.; P. B. Young, of Norfolk, Va.; and Leon N. Hefflin, of Los Angeles, Cal., were elected members of the executive committee. Mrs. Roscoe C. Bruce, Mrs. John M. Wright, of Topeka, Kan., and Mrs. T. J. Nevins, of St. Louis Mo., were added to the women's auxiliary. operators. The Civil Service sent out 20 letters to persons to report for work. Miss Beckeymeyer stated that Berry was the eighth man to apply, and they could not hire eight men when they only needed six. "This Negro," said she, "is the only one to protest for not getting a job." Mr. Duncan stated that Berry was the ninth man to apply and that the six jobs had been filled. He said positively that no one was employed after Berry was there. Not One Chance It is unusual for a government department to hire the first six men to call. By sending out 20 letters to 20 different men to report, it gives the chief the opportunity to tell the colored applicant that the vacancy has been filled. He is aware that he has three men for each job. If a Negro shows up, the job or vacancy has been filled. The chief of the division has two more to choose from. By this method a Negro has no chance of ever getting an appointment in any of the prejudice ridden governmental departments. The employment clerk takes the applicant's letter on the plea that she wants it for her files, and from which to compile a list of future employees. The James Walker Post No. 5 Auxiliary, at their last meeting, installed the following ladies as officers for the coming year: Mrs. Amanda McCloud, president; Mrs. Nellie Walker and Mrs. Pearl Smallwood, vice-presidents; Mrs. Cora Young, chaplain; Mrs. Mary L. Europe, historian; Mrs. Katie C. Goodloe, treasurer; Mrs. Dollie Hunt, sergeant-at-arms, and Mrs. Emma J. Anderson, financial secretary. The regular monthly meeting of the auxiliary will be held on Tuesday, August 27. Chairman for the various committees will be chosen at this time. FORMER TEACHER PASSES AWAY Was Daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. Russell; Wed in 1924 to Dr. Cesteros Mrs. Hildegarde Russell Cesteros, wife of Doctor Jose Cesteros, of New York City, and daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Aaron Russell, of this city, passed away after a brief illness, last Monday, August 19, at her home. Mrs. Cesteros was formerly one of the most popular teachers in the public schools of Washington. Those who associated with her in her school career, both as a student and as a teacher, loved her for her sincerity, loyalty, and her simple child-like sweetness. On July 1, 1924, she married Dr. Jose N. Cesteros, and left with him for New York City, where her husband immediately gained recognition in his profession. Funeral services were held Friday, August 23, at 8 o'clock, from the Holy Redeemer Church, Reverend Father Murphy officiating. Interment was at Mount Olivet. Mrs. Cesteros is survived by her husband, Dr. Jose Cesteros, her father, D. Aaron A. Russell, her mother, Mrs. Eleanor E. Russell, and her brother, Dr. Aaron S. Russell. CENTER OF ELKS' FIGHT ON WILSON (Continued from page 1) have received much publicity in the newspapers, are certain to be aired on the floor of the grand lodge after it convenes. Wilson still holds the whip hand. He is certain to force Martin to make his annual report as grand treasurer before he makes his annual report as grand exalted ruler. If Martin makes the slightest attack upon his administration, Wilson is expected to unleash a savage counter-attack upon Martin. Holstein an all those who are opposed to him. Depends on Funds The one weakness in the Wilson armor will be the availability of funds. If the treasury is depleted and there are no funds with which to pay henchmen for services upon grand lodge committees, Wilson faces a serious situation. If there are funds, his return to office is almost certain. Wilson's friends admit that Martin has no money belonging to the grand lodge. They do not say, however, that there are no grand lodge funds. They rather give the impression that Wilson has directed that no grand lodge funds be turned over to Martin. He will probably make his reasons known in the convention for such an order. Fort Dearbon Lodge On the eve of the convention the report is being circulated that Wilson on the advice of his grand legal adviser, Perry W. Howard, has suspended Fort Dearborn Lodge, of which Martin is a member, for failure to pay its annual tax. This report could not be verified because neither Wilson nor Howard will confirm or deny the report. For the first time since he has been grand exalted ruler Wilson will make no statement. Howard is evasive. Another report that is being circulated here is that those who persuaded Holstein to oppose Wilson will withdraw their support from him at the last moment and switch to somebody else. They do not believe that Holstein can win. His avocation makes him too vulnerable as a candidate. His nativity is also being used against him. He is a West Indian. MISS DORIS WILKINSON HOSTESS Miss Doris Wilkinson, young daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Wilkinson, of Tenth street, northwest, entertained a party of young friends in compliment to Miss Wilhelmina Smith, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. W. S. Smith, of Jersey City, N.J., Wednesday, August 14.

The girl was brought to the hospital by police of the second precinct from the one hundred block of Pierce street, northwest. The girl has steadfastly refused all information as to the incident, but neighbors state that a fight ensued in her home, 116 Pierce street. The other parties involved were not known. The wound was so deep, and such profuse hemorrhage resulted, that Dr. Gandy, of the emergency staff, found it necessary not only to close the wound with fourteen stitches, but also to take careful precautions against lockjaw, by the administration of several hundred units of Tetanus Antitoxin. MAN ENDS FIGHT WITH HALF OF BRICK A half of a brick ended a fight and caused James Banks, 31, to land in Freedmen's Hospital last Saturday, August 17. According to the victim, he was engaged in a little argument with one Harvey Flood, when the latter, discovering that Banks was getting the best of him, decided to end by striking him with his fist. Banks retaliated by severely beating his attacker. As Banks now was getting the better of the fistic encounter, Flood pulled up his reserve forces in the shape of one-half of a brick, placed in juxtaposition with Mr. Bank's cranium. At Freedmen's Hospital, Banks was treated for a deep cut through the scalp and a probable fracture of the skull. WOMAN KILLED (Continued from page 1) leveled a shot gun at the pretty brown skinned clerk, and fired at her stomach. The girl fell to the floor screaming. Bell sped away, with George Cook, a taxi driver, in hot pursuit. Cook lost sight of his man, however, in a traffic jam. He then returned to take Mrs. Metz to the hospital.

"WEENIE" ROAST AT HIGHLAND BEACH Residents of Highland Beach, together with guests at the hotels and cottages of the community, turned out en masse to participate in a moonlight "weenie" roast arranged by Mrs. E. B. Henderson on Saturday evening, August 17. Several score adults and children gathered around a crackling bonfire of pine logs built on the sand close to the water's edge, where they smacked their lips over hot dogs, drank highly-colored pop, and witnessed an amusing and entertaining program which was participated in by the Phyllis Wheatley W.Y.C.A. girls and a troop of Washington boy scouts. The girls sang popular songs, while the scouts, under the direction of Athletic Director R. E. Contee, went through a series of stunts which literally 'brought down the house.' Others who assisted in the program were the Misses Betty Francis, Alice Chambers, Peggy Lucas, and Ruth Matthews. The affair, which lasted until the supply of "weenies" and pop was completely exhausted, was held for the purpose of raising funds for the proposed beach pavilion. Mrs. Henderson, who originated the idea of a "weenie" roast and carried it into execution, expressed herself as well pleased with the results of her efforts. Haven Mem. M.E.

Among the student vacationers who took courses at Columbia University in New York City, several nurses from Freedmen's Hospital were included. The Misses Susan Freeman, Willa B. Irving, Ailene B. Carrington, and Clara Belle Royster, all prominent in Washington social and educational circles, have just returned to their posts of duty at Freedmen's after an intensive summer course of study that included advanced nursing technique, mental hygiene, neurology, psychiatry for nurses, and hospital administration. Famous doctors and nurses from all over the country kept the fair nurses working hard. The nurses from Freedmens were praised, at the conclusion of the course, for their high standing, by Dr. Kilpatrick, eminent woman psychologist of Columbia. They were among the leaders of their classes. Despite the hard studies, however, whispered reports come back from the big city that the young ladies were lavishly entertained by some of the most prominent persons of the medical world. KINGMAN PARK WALTER L. COHEN MENTIONED FOR LIBERIAN POST Mention of the name of Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, La., in connection with the vacancy in the ministership to Liberia has created consternation among his political friends to the extent that some of them will oppose his appointment firm in this conviction that they will be acting to his best interest. No one knew of his being a candidate for the Liberian post. Information that he had been mentioned for the place came from the State Department. It was learned that Emile Kuntz, Republican national committeeman for Louisiana, had proposed Mr. Cohen for the place. Cohen and Kuntz have been political allies. It was Cohen who brought about the selection of Kuntz as a member of the Republican national committee. For years in Republican politics Cohen was regarded as the national committeeman in fact and Kuntz as the national committeeman in name only. Kuntz became tired of this relationship and broke with Cohen. casting his lot in the last pre-convention campaign with the "jilly-white's" supporting President Hoover for the nomination, and Cohen led the "black and tan" faction and supported Vice-President Curtis for the presidential nomination. Kuntz and his faction were recognized at the Republican national convention in Kansas City, Mo., last year. Cohen, himself was given his seat in the convention, but his domination of the Republican organization in Louisiana was ended. To Increae Salary Kuntz, however, is no ingrate. He wants to show Cohen that notwithstanding their differences, he is still his friend. He, therefore, proposes Cohen to be the United States minister and consul general to Liberia. The salary is only $5,000 a year, but he, Kuntz will have it increased to $10,000 although President Coolidge and Secretary of State Kellog failed in their efforts to get an increase in salary of the minister to Liberia. Friends of Cohen plan to thwart Kuntz in his purposes. They say they have supported Mr. Cohen in his every political aspiration, but they cannot support him for the Liberian ministership. His appointment as minister to Liberia, they say, will mean the loss of one of four Federal offices requiring confirmation by the Senate which colored Republicans now hold. They do not wish the race to lose any of the few places now held but desire additional places for Negroes. If Cohen should be appointed to Liberia, a white man would succeed him as comptroller of customs, and that is the real purpose behind the move of Kuntz to have Cohen sent to Liberia, it is stated. Climate Too Severe Furthermore, they say, the sending of Cohen to Liberia would be his death warrant. A man his age, they do not believe can stand the tropical climate of that country. Appointment of a young man as minister to Liberia is generally favored. One is wanted who is well educated, has had business experience, has tact and skill in the conduct of affairs, and will reflect credit upon his race, the Republican party and his country. The vacancy in the Liberian ministership was caused by the death of William T. Francis from yellow fever at Monrovia on July 15. Clifton R. Wharton, the secretary of the legation, is the American charge d'affaires at Monrovia. LAUDS BISHOP JONES' ATTITUDE TOWARDS LOCAL DOCTORS. To the Editor: I have read with peculiar interest the controversy over the statement by Bishop E. D. W. Jones at the annual conference in Boston a few days ago, when the bishop stated that Washington is overrun with our physicians, and the reply by Dr. J. A. Keene. Bishop Jones stated the truth. There are entirely too many physicians here and more especially when Rockville, Frostburg, Laurel, Leesburg, Winchester, Eastern Shore and many other smaller places are "erying" for our physicians. I believe Dr. Keene is in error when he states that our young physicians remain here after graduation for "experience, hospitalization, etc.", but on the other hand they find this a fertile field in which to find school-teacher wives off whose salary they can live and climb to social heights. All that the majority of these young graduating physicians want is their license to practice medicine, a place to call an office, and a "liouor book," together with the school teacher wife, and, in Washington they stay. Take a walk over to Freedmen's Hospital some rosy morning and note them packing the corridors with not one patient upon whom to call, and they making no serious with not one patient upon whom to gain hospitalization as Dr. Keene would have the laity believe. The writer will ask Dr. Keene, how many of the young physicians within the past five years who have married our school teachers have gained their desired (?) clinical experience, and then begun practice in other parts? And, how many have remained in Washington? These same fellows have forgotten that they promised the folks "back home" on leaving, to study medicine that they would return after graduation to practice among the home folks. They would rather be big social lights in Washington, yes, parasites, than to be worth while practitioners in places where they could make themselves useful. I think that the fault is mostly with our school law. When Judge Stafford ruled that married women could teach school and would not have to resign after marrying, the door was opened for the promotion and support of professional loafers, the like this city never knew before.

The writer agrees that we also have too many so-called preachers, but the fault of many of them being ignorant can not be laid at the door of Bishop Jones. The Methodist Church insists that the occupants of its pulpits be educated, and the Baptist Conference of Washington and Vicinity will positively not ordain a candidate in the ministry whose preliminary or professional training is found to be lacking. Their requirements are just as high as those set for ministers or rectors of Dr. Keene's denomination. In the days of our early ministry, schools were not as plentiful as they are now; the pew was not as intelligent, and well-thinking people frown upon any attempt to cast reflections upon the old men who preached the best they knew how, who even opened their churches in which schools were held, and who have given us the very foundations upon which we have now built our most magnificent edifices. Today the ignorant preachers are few, and when we find one we look upon him not as a preacher but as an impostor, too lazy to work. Dr. Keene will not deny that we also have some ignorant physicians, some who write prescriptions for Vick's Salve; some who write for everything on the drug store shelves in one prescription; some who cannot tell the difference between smallpox and measles, tumor from pregnancy, and many other things that the "learned doctor" should know. Another trouble, I think, with most of our physicians is that they easily permit themselves to be "bought" by white druggists. They apparently deem it a great honor t) send patients to drug stores, where they pay for segregation, just because these white druggists hand out cigars, medicines for the doctor, and Christmas presents, all of which in the short run the patients pay for. If a few more of our ministers would speak out like Bishop Jones, our folks would soon awaken, especially the ultra-educated ones, and we would come off our crutches. Hit again, Bishop.

Captain "Dick" Temple, of the Lincoln Football team, has already sent out the first call for Lincoln football aspirants. All desiring to become candidates for the team must report to Coach "Bill" Taylor at Lincoln, on September 9. The G.P.O.'s and the Anacostia Athletics will play a doubleheader at the Union League Park, 15th and H streets, N.E., on Saturday, August 31. The game will be for the benefit of the Capital Blind Association. The first game starts at 1:30 p.m. Most of the playground activities during the past week have centered around the big meet at held at the Cardozo Playground this Friday, August 23. Nearly all of the grounds staged preliminary tryouts, and only the best entrants were sent into the big meet. Garnet, like nearly every other playground, has been preparing for the meet. In the tryouts, Tolson looked best in the unlimited jump, although every one of the boys showed excellent form. Timberlake looked good in the century dash, and Togan excelled in the eighty-five pound class. Fred Douglass, runner-up in last year's water carnival at the Francis Pool, broke one of the pool records last week when he lowered the time for the 100-yard dash, held by "Windy" Wallace. His time was 69.2, which is two seconds lower than Wallace's. The record was not official, however, as Hillsdales Defeat Myrtles In Close Contest, 7-6 The Hillsdales continued their winning streak last Sunday, when they downed the fast stepping Myrtle A. C's in a game played on the Bennings diamond. Rogers, keystone sacker of the Myrtles, starred for his team with a home run, while Black, Williams, Howard, and Green netted triples. The Myrtles were quiet during the first and second frames, while the Hillsdales scored one run each. In the third, the Myrtles opened up with two runs to knot the tie. Hillsdale broke it in the next half with one run, and the Myrtles came back with two tallies to take the lead. In the fifth, they scored two more, gradually drawing away from the Hillsdales. The Hillsdales staged a short-lived rally in the sixth, which only netted one run, leaving them still behind. The seventh went scoreless, but the eighth was the lucky round for the Hillsdales. They rallied, counting up three tallies, to win the game by one run. The ninth inning was not played.

It was a case of ace meeting ace, and the Bulls proved their superiority easily, by scores of 13-8 and 5-0. Nelson struck out eight in this game, while Sewell fanned four. The Sewell brothers, by the way, were the heavy hitters in the games. William Briscoe got three triples and two doubles out of six tries. Goode Taxi Cleaners TALK—DON'T WALK.

Edwin K. Bruce, the high score in last Saturday's meet, did the fifty yard dash in thirty seconds, and showed excellent form in the men's springboard event. He also lowered the backstroke record for the pool. The record, like that of Douglass, is not official, as there were no competitors. Bruce was paced by Morris Jackson. The total number of persons using the pools this season is slightly below that of last year, with 23,173 so far.

In addition to the horse-shoe tournament, in which William Hawkins, George Kettle, and Berlin Thomas were victors, the boys engaged in a track meet with the Deanwood grounds in an inter-playground meet.

WILEY WILDCATS TO START PRACTICE ON LABOR DAY Coach Fred Long Ready To Start Work On Green Material MA SHALL, Texas.—The Wiley Wildocks will hold their initial practice of the 1929 season on Monday, September 2, according to the plans of Coach Fred Long, who is on the grounds now getting equipment ready and overseeing improvements on the playing field. Last year it will be remembered that the Cats started their practice on the first Monday in September, and ended the season being a claimant for National championship. All new comers to the Wildcat camp are expected in on the first day of practice, and provisions have been made to care for them until the opening of school a week later. Limbering up exercises, instructions in punting, forward passing and general light work will make up the first ten days' program in order to toughen the boys for the hard campaign ahead. Coach Long has been doing a great deal of scouting in this neck of the woods, and according to word received from him a large crowd of new material will be on hand to take the place of the eight varsity men of last year's championship team that will be missing. The local mentor and his assistants will have a tough job on their hand getting a green team in shape by September 27, when the season will be opened with the fast Jarvis College eleven here at the Central East Texas Fair. The biggest problem facing the Long brothers is the development of a punter to succeed Harding, last year's star in that department of the game. It is not expected that any of this year's stock will be able to equal the spirals of the erstwhile Wilberforce and Kansas City Monarch flash, as he has few equals anywhere in the south.

Arrangements have just been completed through Faculty Manager C. Johnson Dunn for this early season contest. Not having played each other since 1925, these two teams anxiously anticipate this opening clash of 1929.

A big card is planned for Saturday, August 31, that will feature some of Washington's favorite pugilists. The main fight will be between Billie Carter, a Washington boy, and Morris Tasco, from Baltimore. They will fight eight rounds. In the preliminaries, Isaac Brashears will meet Young Harry Wills in a bout which will go six rounds. Harry is a Washington favorite, having won all or his fights at Williams Park, and Annapolis is counting on Brashears to bring them to vicory. The semi-final, a six round affair, will feature Navior Boy Cruttenfield, one of the classiest fighters to have appeared in Washington this season. Cruttenfield will meet Jimmie Dennis, or Annapolis. Dennis is a formidable contender, but Cruttenfield has proven his mettle in two previous nights here, both of which ne won. The fights will be held at Dreamland Park, and a special bus will leave at 6 o'clock on the evening of the nights for the park. It will start from 1530 Twelfth street, northwest. The first bout will be at 8:30.

Prizes will be awarded to the winners. staged during the period from 1921 through 1925, with two tie games and two victories for each team. Interestingly, the first game in 1921 and the last game in 1925 resulted in tie scores, while Alabama State won in 1921 asd 1923, and lost in 1922 and 1924. Thus, both teams will be out to get the advantage in games now by coping the decision at Paterson Field on September 27. Make Appeal For Better Golf Links For Colored Prince Georges County Police Take Fighters, Promoters, Gloves and Money in Unexpected Raid Acting on a tip that prize fights were being on held illegally at Williams Electric Park, on Sheriff road, near Seat Pleasant, Md. Prince Georges County police swooped down on the arena last Monday night, taking fighters, promoters, money, and gloves with them. The tip came from the boxing commission in Baltimore that the fights were being held at a place called Washington Park. There being no such place, Sheriff Early started an investigation, the result being that he found a boxing match scheduled for Williams Park on Monday night, and the sheriff planned a raid for that night. The two fighters were hand-cuffed, as was Sullivan, whose real name is given as Harry Sheehy, 3311 N street, northwest. The two fighters gave their names as Battling (Grady) Gamble, 25 years old, of 1708 Tenth street, northwest, and Tiger (James) Glascoe, 19, of 1801 Eighth street, northwest. Sullivan was charged with promoting a fight without a license, and the two fighters were charged with fighting without a permit. Mary Johnson, of 1317 T street, was arrested for selling tickets to an unlicensed fight. A large paper bag of money amounting to nearly $150, and several new pairs of boxing gloves were taken from the ticket stand. Nearly a thousand persons seated in the audience were permitted to leave unmolested by the police, and left quietly without disorder. The prisoners were carried to the Upper Marlboro jail as soon as the officers had cleared away the heavy traffic leaving the park, and were held under $5,000 bond for their appearance in the county court, Friday. Early in the week, the sheriff received a letter from a prominent Washington trainer, who said that the fights were being held illegally and that the promoter had boasted that he had the protection of the sheriff. Thereupon the sheriff, immediately started an investigation, which resulted in the raid. Mr. Williams, owner of the park, when interviewed, said, "It's all a misunderstanding. They have no more right to raid our place than they have to come into your private home. We have our lincense from the state board, but we will have to wait until the case comes up in court, Friday, before we can prove to the commission that we are licensed to operate. "The case is cooked up against us by a group of white promoters who were refused a license by the commission. When they heard that we had scheduled fights for Monday night, they tipped the sheriff off that we were operating without a license. The sheriff, without an investigation of any kind, proceeded to raid the place. "We are not going to suspend operations because of this raid. We know that they cannot do anything to us because we hold a license. Meanwhile, we are going to stage a series of bouts out on here Labor Day or near that time, in order to pay those patrons back who had their money seized by the police at the last fight. The bouts will be free to everybody, and all of those who lost money at the last time will receive full measure then." Meanwhile, the ticket seller, Mrs. Johnson, had been released on $5,000 bail, raised by Mr. Williams, and the two fighters were still behind the hers waiting for the court to meet Friday.

Adams 4479 Monroe Tire Co. Open Sundays Till 3p.m. There is no question that perplexes the minds of colored fans and magnates who have money invested in colored players and teams as, "How can we secure, train, and keep colored umpires in our baseball games?" This mooted question can be answered in several ways. Umpires can be secured from three sources. First, there are white umpires who have not the training nor experience to umpire in the white leagues, colored players who are no longer able to play day in and day out, and colored men who have made a life-long study of the game and have, through their own efforts and persistence, made themselves worthy of a trial as arbiters. We should not censure those white umpires who have rendered colored baseball service. Such men as Wilson, McGowan, McDevitt and Reardin, we should salute, but we must remember this, that colored baseball does not have the financial backing necessary to keep white umpires of that type. As fast as white umpires show the necessary qualifications, they are grabbed up by any number of classified leagues, and are lost to race baseball. Our teams serve only as training schools for white umpires. What is a possible solution for this condition? Can it be solved? We might offer this suggestion. In as much as baseball as played by colored players is essentially a race affair, it is no more than right that race men, with the required honesty, integrity, and judgment be given every chance to show that they have the proper esprit de corps to function as being worthy arbiters, and then, after years of training and study, they would not be lost to race baseball. Where could the proper personnel be secured? First, we could press into service such men as "Spike" Spencer, "Danny" Despert "Elsie" Richardson, Caesar Jamison Bill Gatewood, and others. Recruit such former baseball players with the necessary intelligence, and send them to a school for umpires conducted by such men as Donaldson, Gholston and Jamison. Secure the services of "Billy" Evans or Glem to add the weight of their experience to the affair. APPEAL MADE FOR NEW GOLF LINK 117 Sign Petition Asking For New Grounds and Better Equipment A petition has just been filed with Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, director of the Public Parks and Buildings, for a new golf link for Negroes, that will be equal to the best of the white links now in existence. The petition, which has been signed by 117 golf enthusiasts, sets forth the present condition of the poorly managed link, and compares its condition with the condition of the three municipal golf courses for white patrons. It points out the fact that where nearly a third of the population of Washington is colored, there are three golf courses for white and only one for colored. "The grounds are too small for a nine-hole course," the petition says. "We have no caddy houses to accommodate the players, no baths, no lockers, nor any protection against the weather in case of rains or storms. The sand greens are poorly kept; the grass is seldom in proper condition for playing; many of the cups are split and not true, the buckets at the trees are more likely to be empty than full of water, and many times we find not enough sand to tee the balls." "On the other hand," it says, "we find 'that the United States has spent over $200,000 for field houses, located in East Potomac Park, West, and Rock Creek Park, and that there are three well housed and well kept golf courses, namely, the East Potomac Park, 27 holes, West Potomac, 9 holes, and Rock Creek, 18 holes. We find the greens, tees, and everything about them to be kept in the best of order." The petition asks for a modern eighteen hole golf course, with a modern field or carry house, with sufficient baths, lockers, dressing rooms, kitchen, space for parking automobiles, administration department, and such other up-to-date accommodations as may be necessary to operate a modern golf course. And then, out of the many men who would take these courses, take the best for your umpires. All colored leagues should unite in promoting this school, and share in its expense. Put the authority of the leagues behind these umpires to cut out all unnecessary wrangling, and soon we would have what we are working for. r Colored BLACK SOX WREST DOUBLE HEADER FROM TIGERS Orientals Beaten Twice, 3-4 In First Game, 10-6 In Second In two fast, hard hitting games played at the Union League Park last Sunday, the Black Sox grabbed a double bill from the Orientals to the tune of 3-4 and 6-10. In the first game, "Lefty" Smith was invincible after the fifth in- ning, when the Orientals scored three runs to tie the score, and the Sox had to go an extra inning to subdue Scriver, who held them down until the fatal tenth. "Toots" Brown clouted one clear of the center field fence, but after this blow, the Orientals never man- aged to rally again. The Sox lost little time in annexing the victory in the extra period. Randolph's triple, followed by pinch-hitter Bland's ripping single, brought home the bacon. In the nightcap, the Sox clouted Washington and Russe, for seven runs in the first inning and under a big lead, Bailey had an easy time breezing in. Powell was ushered in too late to stop the assault, and after playing errorless ball in the opener, went completely to pieces, committing six errors in the second.

SALE Critics Praise "Jazzlips" Richardson Critics Praise "Jazz Lips' Richardson For Comic Dancing NEW YORK, N.Y.—"Jazzilips" Richardson, who for several years has been a feature over the Kieth-Orpheum circuit, has been proclaimed by all the New York critics as the hit of the season, by his sensational work at the Hudson Theatre, where he has been raised to stardom in Connie's "Hot Chocolates." A few of the reviews from some of New York's leading critics are as follows: Robert Garland, of the Telegram, says: "In his own dancing specialty, Jazzilips Richardson is the outstanding feature of the evening. If you will pardon the exaggeration, he is unbelievable." F. P. Dunne, Jr., World, says: "First of all is one Jazzlips Richardson, a powerful man with a wild gleam in his eye, who comes out alone and perfectly calmly, almost without visible effort, does an utterly unbelievable acrobatic dance. I have not seen anything more rhythmically gymnastic. Last night he literally stopped the show." Ibee, Variety, says: "Jazzlips Richardson, both comedian and hoofer, turned in the individual dance hit of the evening, his eccentric stuff calling for encore bits." Louis Sobol, Evening Graphic, says, "A 'allow blacker than a rent collector's heart, came out in the first act, unhelaled by any blare of trumpets, and stopped the show deader than a press agent's gag. Jazzilips Richardson is his program billing and you can whisper and shout about your dancing fools, but here is a chap that beats them all. I don't know who he is—I never saw him before—but I don't believe yet that he did everything I saw him do with that one pair of rather large feet. It just doesn't seem possible. Jazz as all his friends call him, is also doubling at Connie's Inn, and it looks as if vaudeville has lost another one of its great supports.

SPORTS REVIEW ANACOSTIATOPLAY WILLOW TREES Final Fracas of Tribune Series To Be Played At Monument, Sunday The final and deciding game of the Tribune Junior League Series will be played at the Monument grounds next Sunday, at 1 o'clock, according to an agreement reached between the two managers. It was decided that a single game would be better because of the fact that they have several other bookings, and that Sunday is about the only day open. The Willow Trees and the Anacostians are picked to play in the final seriess because they have stood highest in the previous league games. Willow Tree has a record of two wins and one less against the other teams in the league, and Anacostia has a similar record. The Willow Trees were victorious over Anacostia in the first game of the series, and though they hope to repeat that feat, the Anacostians are ready to give them a stiff battle. The other teams, which were eliminated were the Spartans, who stood .333 with one win, one loss, and one forfeit, and the Black Barons, who won one and lost two, with a percentage of .333. The Manchesters withdrew during the early part of the series. Black Sox Win Double Bill From Woodburn Hawks Payne and Nickens differed only by one in the first frame of their double bill.

Walter Gray was crowned champion of section 1, having defeated Howard, Logan, and Sixth and L playgrounds, and Thurston Lewis, the senior boys champion of section 1, having defeated entrants from the same playgrounds. Marguerite Peters and Louise Lowery, both aged 14, defeated girls from both Howard and Logan, making them champions of section 1. On Tuesday morning they defeated the Willow Tree Playground team, champions of section 2, in two straight sets, 6-2 and 6-3 for the city championship. The Rose Park doubles team have been champions of section 1 for three consecutive years, and have won the city championship for two years. Washington Athletics Win Over Myrtle A.C., 8-6 The Washington Athletics defeated the Myrtle A.C., in a hard fought game played last Sunday. The score was 8 to 6. Ike Scott was on the mound for the Athletics and gave a fine exhibition of airtight pitching. He also came through with a single and a three bagger to help win his game. F. Wood managed to slam one out for a homer. Next Sunday, the Athletics will play the Seminary Black Sox on the Monument grounds. UNION PICNIC A Union Picnic of five Methodist Episcopal churches was held August 20, at Riverview, Md. The churches taking part were: Haven, Nash Memorial, Central Fairmount Heights and Bennings.

Spectators at the fight say that Godfrey struck Hawkins below the belt several times, and in the third sent him down to the floor, writhing in agony. Long Tom gamely got up and went on with the fight, but as Godfrey seemed to continually foul him, he complained to the referee, who warned Godfrey again against low hitting. "Long Tom" seemed to be Godfrey's equal from the first, as he pounced on Godfrey's stomach and had him in distress. Godfrey, they say, was nearly out, when he resorted to low blows to save himself. Nina Mae McKenney Makes Personal Appearances In New York NEW YORK CITY—Nina Mae McKenney, star of King Vidor's "Hallelujah," arrived in town last Tuesday to be present when this Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer all colored singing and talking feature celebrated its double premiere, at the Embassy Theatre down Broadway, and at the same time at the Lafayette Theatre in Harlem. Nina made a personal appearance at the popular Harlem playhouse instead of the Broadway theatre because of the fact that her many relatives and friends turned out to see the work of the much talked of little film actress. Incidentally Miss McKenney was allowed three weeks' leave of absence from the M-G-M Hollywood studios to make this personal appearance here in New York. She LOW PRICE LEADERS SANITARY GROCERY CO.

Miller and Lyles, Louis Deppe, the jubilee singers are to return to their roles in the revised production. The Two Black Dots, who were quite a sensation when it had its first tryout, may also return to the show. After the Boston run, "Great Day" will come to the Cosmopolitan Theare on Broadway.

Miss Waters, who croons her latest song hit, "Am I Blue" is ably supported by The Shuffle Along Four and the work of the Four Covans comes in for honorable mention. has been assigned to an important role in the new Wallace Beery and Ernest Torrence production, "The Bugle Sounds," and is due to report at the studio by September 4. "Blackbirds" Great Success In Paris, Says Dudley; New Edition Planned The theatrical editor received last week a letter from S. H. Dudley, Jr., who is stage manager of the great show, "Blackbirds," now having a triumphant run in Paris at the Moulin Rouge theatre. Mr. Dudley states that the show is gaining in attendance every day, and that it is the real hit of the Paris theatrical world. Mr. Dudley says that after several more weeks in Paris, the show will start back for the states, and the 1930 edition will go into rehearsal in Washington. The new show will visit Washington, Cleveland, Detroit, and Chicago, for a run of six months, and then return to Broadway. The number two edition of the same show, with Harriette Calloway in the lead, will start on a tour of the western coast when the new season opens. Dudley also informs us that Eddie Rector's dance, which caused Bill "Bojangles" Robinson to attack Lew Leslie on charges that he was stealing his dances, were not flopping as had been reported. Eddie's dances are one of the high points of the show, and are taking just as well as "Bojangles'" did in America. a [wana ee A UNE Ue A NE y | @ sub-division and further agreed | open 7:30 is coe ; , 30 p.m, All are invited. .

More than $158,200,000 worth of candies were manufactured by 466 concerns from January 1 to July 1. Some seem to think as whiskey consumption decreases, candy consumption increases. The fact remains that the people ‘of the United States are consuming too much sugar in candy and other sweets. As a result of this extra consumption of sugar, our endocrine glands are affected along with the liver and kidneys. The adrenal glands and the liver are first to feel the effects of too much sugar, ‘The liver converts the dextrose of the blood, which is derived from the starches and sugar eaten, into a chemical form known as glycogen. When the body needs more starch and sugar for its well being, the liver cells turn the glycogen back again into dextrose and as such it is forced into the circulation. Therefore, with an excess of sugar through eating candy, ice cream and drinking sweetened drinks, the liver is overworked, the kidneys feel the effect. The pancreas gland gets its share and depleted adrenal glands show through the color and texture of the skin, the color and lack of gloss in the hair, is due to the baneful influence of too much candy and sugar. Diabetes and kidney troubles may be avoided by cutting down on candy and sugar consumption. An irferease in candy sales of 3.32 per cent will mean an increase of diabetes and other ailments arising from excessive sugar consumption, A “sweet tooth” may dig an early grave, Beware! a f HAVE YOU YOUR $40> __ ‘The United States Treasury says in its monthly statement of circu- lation, which showed $4,717,242,524, that there is $39.34 in circulation for every man, woman and child in the United States, with an esti- mated populaion of 119,906,000. Have you your $39.34 today. When we think of the 14,000 millionaires and the ‘5,000,000 or more who pay taxes on incomes of $2,000 or more, it will dawn on us that there are millions of people in this reputed rich country who do not have their $39.34.

Willie never knew that his wife ‘was only joking, and began to yelp for help. Police found the two in a slight- ly embarassing situation, Willie sprawling over Ethel’s lap, and Ethel raising the pipe as Willie’s screams grew in volume. The two were taken to the police court, and questioned by Judge Ralph Given. “Did she ever hit you?” asked the judge? “No sir, I mean yhhonor, I aint never hit him in all the eight long years be done been married,” Ethel broke in. “Ever hit you?” asked the judge again. “No sir, no—that is—well, no sir, She ain't hit me.” “Well, Ethel what were you do- ing to him?” “Aw, judge, I jest said I'd turn him up and ‘paddle him jest to make ‘him mind.

Counting the population of the world at 1,600,000,000 people with only 119,906,000 of them in the United States—what must be the economic status of millions of the people throughout the world? In some of the countries the per capi- ta circulation will hardly equal $1. How do they do it? Another thought comes with this reported circulation. The savings banks of this country report more than $24,000,000,000 on deposit to the credit of their depositors. That is three times as much as there is in all the world, and six times as much as the treasury reports in circulation in July.

Judge Given granted the request and a policeman was dispatched to summon the witness, while the prisoner was removed to the cell block pending the reopening of his case, ' Less than half an hour after sending for the witness, a bailiff handed Judge Given a note. It was from Owens, It read: “Will you give me them ninety days and let me go down: Tam not going to get justice now because that boy won't come down here and my mother is supposed to come back tomorrow and she was not even told to come back.” Judge Given took the note as a complete confession, and, calling Owens back, reduced the term to 60 days.

They tried to stop her from mak- ing so much noise, but to no avail. So they carried her to the station house, and let her sleep it off. Josephine was terribly indignant about the incident, To think that those awful policemen should come in her house while she was in bed, and carry her off to the station house without even waking ‘her up.

AUGUST 23, 1929 HIGHLAND BEACH A Paradoxical Community Ee By EULAG. BROWN $500 Was the Consideration Mentioned in the Purchase of Highland Beach in 1893; Title Was in Joseph Douglass’ Name COUNTY SURVEYER MADE MISTAKE Land Records Almost Hopelessly. Confused. Streets Sold for Lots, Stakes Far From Lines, Etc.; Commissioners Must Share Blame Do such things as property, assessments, taxes and boundaries have significant meanings to the people. of Highland Beach? ‘Are they lacking in education con cerning such things? What is. wrong with the property layout down at Highland Beach? ‘To understand a situation that has eaused no end of dissatisfaction for many years, your writer has had to go through with 8 mass of material. After submitting this story to a gentleman who should know the facts, and getting his opinion, I feel that T have hit upon the crux of the disturbed condition in the little town. I forecast that when the collective sense of the peo- ple has aroused itself and begins, to ‘un- ravel the twisted skein, the inquietude that exists will be allayed. A brief history of the realty will shed light.--Editor. ARTICLE 4 The purchase of the property was made on April 10, 1893, Jo- seph Douglass bought from Rob- ert Moss, trustee. The considera- tion mentioned was $500. Because of an unsettled political situation, Major Charles Douglass, a poli- tical officeholder, had his son Joe buy the property. In the same year, a surveyor from Washing- ton, platted the ground, and it was recorded in the name of Joseph Douglass. The plat shows lots of 50x150 feet bounded by fifty foot streets, a beach front or creek boundaries. There were approxi- mately 104 lots. The streets were named for noted Reconstruction Day Negroes. Before 1897, lots were sold to M. C, Terrell, Jerome Johnson, J R. Francis, Laura Douglass, George Bowen, Mary Wormley, Imogene Wormley, Charles Brown and Walter Napper. On April 24, 1897, it is recorded that Joseph Douglass conveyed to Charles Douglass the unsold lots for a consideration of $1,000. No mention was made of the beach or streets. The title to the acreage purchased in 1893 rested in the name of Joseph and he only trans. ferred the unsold lots. According to several title companies, what- ever title remains to the beach or street with whatever rights are attached thereto, still remains in the name of Joseph Douglass, de- spite the will probated by Major Douglass. He could not bequeath what he at no time legally pos- sessed. Between 1897 and 1919 lots were recorded as sold to George Bowen, G. Scott, Jesse Moorland, C. E. Freeman, Gertrude Page, Richard Ware, Sarah Hall, Edwin Henderson, Rachel Bell, and Jo- bi Douglass. ‘he will of Major Douglass pro- bated in the Supreme Court of Washington in December 1920 reads: “T give. devise and bequeath to my son Joseph Douglass all of my right, title and interest in and to my real property situated in the 2nd Election District... . known as the sub-division of Highland Beach and contained in Blocks 7, 8, 9, and 11, except such lots in said division as have been previously sold. I give, and bequeath to my son Haley G. Douglass all of my right, title and interest in and to that portion of Highland Beach contained in Blocks 1, 4, 5, 6, and 10 except such lots in said’ sub- division as have been previously sold, as indicated on the plat here- to attached, and to his heirs and assigns forever, and including all the beach front not otherwise dis- posed of, as well as all other par- cels of said sub-division not men- tioned above.” Now here is where the trouble started. Prior to the selling ir 1897, if I am correctly informed, one of the missing heirs to the original farm showed up and the courts awarded this heir all of the property now owned by white man named Myers and the court awarded Joe Douglass strip of ground from the Lane es- tate, which strip was 47 feet wide lying between Venice and High: land Beach. This act deprived Highland Beach of lots in Block 11 and part of Bock 9 as well as other lots, The most astounding thing is that purchasers have deeds for lots that have no exis- tence in Highland Beach. For ex- ample a Mrs, W. has deeds for property which property is build- ed upon by Dr. S. Mrs. W. also has fenced in lots which a promi. nent Annapolis lawyer has assured a Mrs. H. are her's. How did this error occur? J have it from reliable sources that the present county assessor, then county surveyor, made the mis: take in this way. When surveying the lots for a Mrs. W. he started measuring from what he supposed was the rear,line according to the old plat, but actually he was sur- veying from the present rear ‘line of the sub-division created after we station without waking up, had been drinking something stronger “MAYOR eae Gy Be me .

This knocked out block 11 and ‘most of block 9, He is said to have called attention to this error, and suggested that confirmatory deeds be given those who bought, but this was not done until after lots were sold to other people. ‘The use of the original plat from which lots in the rear of the town had been decapitated has caused much trouble, When the town was ineorporated, the State of Mary- land incorporated all that proper- ty described in the original sub- division. As a result an old white man lives in the town, but the strip of land given Joe Douglass by the court lying between Venice and Highland Beaches, is not in Highland Beach. To contend that this strip of land was in High- land. Beach is to say that a town can add measure to itself by tak- ing thought to do so. Several years ago, I have been told, the com- missioners discovered these and other very unusual conditions when they had the town surveyed. Whole streets had been sold, pro- perties fenced in to include sec- tions of streets, houses sitting on lots owned by others, corners and stakes far from lines, They’ pre- pared this survey, but little did it ‘disturb the general apathy of the peace-loving citizens. Last year a suit was instituted by Mrs. Anna Cooper against Joseph Douglass “which resulted in damages for Mrs. Cooper. T have been told that Mayor Douglass has claimed that the streets are his to be disposed of as he sees fit. One of the Douglass heirs sold to a Mrs. R. one half of Lynch avenue as a building lot. Practically all of the streets plat- ted end recorded in the section bounded by Bruce avenue and Bay avenue have been sold and pro- posed narrower streets and lanes have been substituted. After dis- posing of Lynch avenue, Major Douglass made a new plat and substituted therefore a 30-foot street which is named Walnut Lane. Thus a 50-foot street run- ning nearly the width of the town has been done away with and a 30-foot' street substituted over part of the length of the former street. Hence, 20 feet of width running at least the length of the former street has bee nturned into valuable lot property. This despite the fact that court gave the ori- ginal owner, in Possession a 47- foot strip of ground running the length of Higtland Beach in place of the award of the land to the heir, now known as the Myer tract, It isthe opinion of several legal minds about here that the Commie. sioners of the present and past are negligent of their sworn duty as representatives of the tax payers and as sub-agent of the state of Maryland. The act of platting.the subdivisoin and selling lots, and the act of recpomaee by the state of Maryland made the own- former street has been turned into a sub-division and further agreed to incorporate, common Jaw dedi- cators, whether they actually deed- ed to ‘the town or county the streets or beach or not. ‘Thou- sands of dollars that would have reverted to the county from the taxpayers has been intrusted to the commissioners of the town to be spent on the streets thereof. If these public streets and. the beach are allowed to be sold, the commissioners will be held ac- countable. Those who seem to hold title to lots that are by an original platted map, streets of the town, and so recognized by. the State of Maryland, will have poor claim to them at some future date. ‘The owners may sell what. simple title claim they hold but the buy- ers must beware. A newer plat of the unsold pro- perty. shows another lane or street opened by Mayor Douglass in agreement with Mr. Taylor, of Venice Beach.. But hardly had it been opened, when it is claimed it was offered for sale. A Mr. Evans bought thinking he had certain means of ingress and egress, but this year he is said to have been informed that further _property along his right of way has been sold until now where he had a fifteen foot driveway he now has but two feet to slide through. The Douglasses have’ been asked. to publicly. and formally dedicate these new proposed streets to the town and the most remarkable thing is that they refused to do so in one instance and have not done so in the other. ‘This matter is one of the big issues that has caused dissension that has spread beyond the confines of the town. Several: sets of com- missioners have sought to have the Doulasses come across with tech nical releases but without avail. Camouflage and smoke screens and dead herrings have been rubbed across the trail of the real big is- sues that must be straightened out now, or cause all: sorts of bicker- ings among the children in the fu- ture and in the lifetime of the present dwellers. The commission- ers are either controlled by the former owner element or they are hounded by campaigns of lies, ac- cording to one of the former mem- bers. (This will be brought out in another installment). It is as natural as anything under the sun, that the Douglasses cannot be ex- pected to let go of their fancied proviery rights. It is equally, be- jievable that they will allow other trifling issues or personal abuse be used by henchmen to becloud the real important matters. The open town legendary fear nowadays helps keep the ‘real issues in the backround. But will it always do? When Negroes of ‘the intelligent variety develop a civic sense, when they see beyond their back: and front yards,-and not until then, will they be ready to tackle these prob- lems.

LEGEND OF THE DANDELION John Peter was a dreaming lad, ap- prenitced to a clerk, And he would gaze far off all day, nor do a. bit of work. ‘When his time of labor ended, he hired himself in law. And all the common village folk would gaze at him in awe. For the tale had spread that he had powers other folk had not. ‘That the would meet the fairy folk and tread their grassy plot, So all were eager then to see this wondrous fairy lad, And so good jobs in multitude, this dreaming Peter had. When he had saved his money till the gold bag clanked and glowed, He took his stick, and started on the lonely, quiet road. The money in his pocket gleaming gold and silver bright, He trod the path when the moon was full, and shedding mystic light. By the outskirts of the forest where the fairies danced, he walked, He last was seen there, many said and all the village talked: But the morning after, people searched beside the quict shade, And there was found each flower of gold on which the sunbeams played. So this strange tale ts handed down from scion, unto scion, And. that they say, is how, there came to be the dandelion. Katherine W. Robertts (13) VALUE OF RADIUM Why, ask many, is radium so valuable a substance? Well, in the first place, it is rare—so rare that there are perhaps no more than three pounds of the substance in the world that have been isolated. In the second place, a terrific amount of labor and material is expended in procuring a minute quantity of it, ‘When Mme. Curie, discoverer of the element, was presented with one gram of radium some years a- go by admirers in this country, it was estimated that 600 tons of ore had been worked upon for six months by 500 men in order: to produce the single gram. Other prodigious quantities used in the process were 1,000 tons of coal, 10,000 tons of distilled water, and about 500 tons of various chemi- cals. The single gram, of which approximately 28.42 would be ne- cessary to make an avoirdupois ounce, was worth about $50,000, ee UP TO THE NECK The teacher said to her class: “Words ending in ‘us’ mean full of; as joyous means full of joy, and vigorous means full of vigor.
