McDow Dies Thursday After Swallowing Poison Xmas Day Cheloi P. P. McDow, member of the senior class in the College of Liberal Arts at Howard University, died at Emergency Hospital, Tuesday and funeral service was held New Year's day from the McQuire Undertaking establishment at 2 p.m. The body was taken immediately after the services to the train and sent to his home at Shreveport, La. Many students and friends of the former student attended the services here. McDow swallowed four bichloride of mercury tablets, Christmas day, after locking himself in his room at 1919 Thirteenth street, northwest. He refused first aid by members of the family at whose house he was stopping, and when Emergency Hospital doctors responded he asked them had he taken enough poison to end his life. Mrs. Marie Powell, the boy's landlady, told a Tribune reporter last week that the youth became despondent when he failed to receive a sum of money from his parents. The money came the day after he swallowed the poison. His parents are said to be wealthy. His friends state there was no love affair and school authorities say it was impossible for him to learn his school marks. Those close to the youth are at a loss to account for the action. 4 H. U.

Haitian Resolution to Come Before Foreign Affairs Comm. Next Week Will Make Yearly Surveys Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the Senate committee on foreign relations, sees no necessity for an investigation of conditions in Haiti, but says that if it is the wish of the President he will not oppose it. The Senate committee on foreign relations will act early in January on the Porter resolution, which has already been passed by the House, providing for the creation of a commission of seven members to investigate conditions in Haiti and report their findings with recommendations to the President and the Congress. "We have been in control of the situation in Haiti for fourteen years and are in possession of all the facts," said Senator Borah last Monday. "For that reason I see no reason why a commission should be created as proposed by the House resolution. Our officials there are fully advised as to the situation and undoubtedly they have apprised their superiors in Washington as to the facts. I cannot conceive how any new light can be thrown upon conditions in Haiti by the appointment of a commission, but I shall not oppose the House resolution, which will have early consideration by the foreign relations committee upon the resumption of the session after the holidays."

YOUTH GIVEN 10 YEARS FOR TURNING IN FALSE ALARMS Walter Monroe Gets Record Sentence By Judge Mattingly For his desire to see the fire engines run Walter Monroe, 22, must serve 10 years in jail. Judge Robert E. Mattingly, who imposed the sentence in police court, Tuesday, said others who craved a like desire would feel the heavy hand of the law. He scored the youth and told him firemen were endangered every time an alarm was turned in. Monroe was convicted on 10 charges and in each instance was sentenced to serve six months and a fine of $100 or another six months in lieu thereof. Moore could not pay the fines amounting to $1,000, which represented five years. The boy is alleged to have signed a confession admitting turning in 17 alarms, but information papers were made on only 10 counts. The 10 years given Monroe is said to be the heaviest sentence ever to be imposed for such an offense. The nev heaviest was imposed last fall by Judge Mattingly carrying a total sentence of eight years.

THE MERCANTILE TRADING COMPANY, INCORPORATED Office Address 1135 9th Street, N.W. Phone, National 1387 The economic situation confronting our people in Washington, as well as in many other parts of the country and mainly in the large urban centers, is becoming critical. Jobs which were looked upon as racial assets almost exclusively for many years are now being taken over by white men and women. White barbers are rapidly supplanting colored barbers, even in the South. White waiters are being installed in hotels which formerly employed colored waiters exclusively. Even in positions calling for unskilled labor we are meeting with the same competition. Our representation in the clerical grades of the civil service at Washington, D.C., has been cut to one-tenth its proportion of twenty-five years ago. Where we had approximately two thousand colored clerks, we now have about two hundred. The photograph which must accompany all examination papers of those who apply for positions within the civil service is very largely responsible for this shrinkage in civil service representation, and, with retirement for age, it is only a matter of a very few years before our civil service representation will be well nigh extinct. An expert statistician of the Federal government recently estimated the expenditures of the race for merchandise here in Washington on a cash and credit basis for the year 1928 to be ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS of this amount he says Twenty Per Cent or twenty million dollars is profit, of which ELEVEN MILLIONS is paid for wages, and the remaining NINE MILLIONS go for dividends. Thus he says: "We are creating a Congressman Oscar DePriest. Garnet C. Wilkinson, Asst. Supt. of Public Schools. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Pres. National Training School for Women and Girls, Inc.

Our people who spend this enormous sum of money are held down to the jobs of laborer, porter, fireman and other small salaried positions. THE MERCANTILE TRADING COMPANY has contracted to buy a Department store in the heart of the business section of Washington, where its stockholders can trade and enjoy the profits from our enormous race business—which will give employment to colored sales girls, salesmen and managers of Departments—which will be the beginning of a nation wide movement to liberate our people from economic bondage. The management of the enterprise will be conducted by a group of experienced experts in Department store activities, who will guide this venture. We are offering 5,000 shares of stock par value $10.00 each, and we call upon all loyal race men and women to take out as many shares as they can. If you can not take but ONE SHARE, take it, for it will help the race forward to the new economic order which it must attain or become eventually, in all of our large urban centers a hopeless proletarian class. We do not intend that this movement shall end in Washington, for it is the purpose of our organization under wise guidance and highly trained business specialists to invade other cities and establish other stores and trading centers. We are working upon a CONCRETE FOUNDATION. The store we shall buy IS ALREADY OPERATING on a profit paying basis, and with the business This movement has been endorsed by the following persons.

We have given months of study to the proposition, and it is assured of success. While "The Mercantile Trading Company" is capitalized at $500,000.00, 50,000 shares $10 each par value, we are offering for sale only five thousand shares to reach our immediate goal. You may take as many shares as you can afford, and we call upon every earnest and serious minded man and woman of the race to rally to this movement. We must build our own economic structure in this the wealthiest nation in the world if we are to survive. The battle for survival is on and we must face it in the same way that civilized men have faced it in every country of the world. Not a penny of your money will be spent for PROMOTION EXPENSES. It will be placed in the INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK, whose President, Mr. W. H. C. Brown is our Treasurer. All checks for the purchase of shares should be made out to Mr. Brown, and if for any reason whatever we should fail to reach our immediate goal, your money will be refunded. Every dollar you invest is expected not only to yield a profit, but it will be building up the race and setting an example to it all over the nation to move forward by cooperation into a strong and impregnable economic position. --- Forward!

The vision of youth coupled with the experience of age has given the Prudential a favorable impres- sion with the people as_a safe bank with which to deal. The con- fidence established has caused the constant growth of the Prudential to its present commanding position in the business and financial life of Washington? As a bank of service the Pruden- tial has constantly increased its service to the people. Business houses have been assisted, homes have been saved, mortgages have been met, savings have been en- couraged and the new department for Christmas savings has broad- ened its service and touched new homes and business places. The Prudential should pass the million dollars in resources this year. Why not have a milion dollar bank in Washington. The officers of the Prudential Bank are John R. Hawkins, presi- dent; A. M. Curtis, vice-president; Thomas Walker, vice-president; P. W. Price, vice-president; Edward A. Baker, cashier, and Joseph H. Greene, assistant cashier.

JANUARY 3. 1930 WASHINGTON ONE OF 3 CITIES WITH ETHICAL PHARMACY New Business Opens For Purpose of Filling Prescriptions Believe it or not or as strangs as it seems, this city has a drug store that is a drug store. This newest addition to the Capital's business world would make an excellent illustration for the freak cartoons appearing in some of the daily papers. In these days of high powered drug stores selling everything from automobile tires to real estate it is more than strange for a drug store to really pay much attention to drugs. The prescription counter is noticeable for its absence in most pharmacies. In the Ethical Precision Pharmacy opened at 518 Florida avenue, northwest, Saturday, one may have a prescription filled, but not even a tooth brush will be on sale. Through the ability of two of the city's pharmacists, Washington now boasts of being the third city in the country having such a store owned and operated by Negroes dealing only in the filling of prescriptions. Drs. Leo S. Williams and Lewis S. Terry, the former a resident of the city for two years, and the latter for one year, are the proprietors of this service establishment. Opening right off the street, the door leads into a spacious waiting room furnished with comfortable wicker chairs and sofa where one may sit in ease and wait for his prescription. Adjoining the waiting room is the laboratory in which is a complete stock of drugs and chemicals. Dr. Terry is a graduate of the School of Pharmacy of Temple University, Philadelphia, and Dr. Williams is from the University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy. The former was for some time associated with Hunton's Pharmacy and Pinkett's Pharmacy of this city, and the latter at one time owned and operated a drug store in Trenton, N.J.

The third prize of $50 went to Miss Etta King, while fourth prize of $25 went to Miss Susie Martin. Miss Peyton polled 44,605 votes, while Miss Wells received 39,767. Miss King had 34,332, and Miss Martin 24,218. The fifth prize of $10 was won by Miss Marie Dodson, who had 12,872. There were 10 five-dollar prizes awarded to other contestants. They follow with the number of votes each received: Alfreda Pitts, 7,877; Francescina Biddle, 7,191; Frances Hunter, 6,913; E. J.

JOHN TRHINES & CO BUILT ON HONEST AND SINCERE SERVICE 901 THIRD STREET, S.W. Metropolitan 8401 19TH ST. CHURCH MEMBERS VISIT OLD FOLKS' HOME The members of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor, made the annual visit to Blue Plains, the Government Home for the poor and aged, comprising over 500 inmates of both races. Packages containing candy and fruits, and a dime were distributed to each person. They also visited the school for incorrigible boys near Blue Plains, and the Stoddard Baptist Home on Bryant street, where the aged and infirmed are cared for. This custom has been in effect for many years, and those shut-in inmates look forward with much joy to these annual visits. The Helping Hand Club of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, under the leadership of Mrs. Emma Cabbaniss, president, is also doing a very creditable work in relieving the condition of the poor, destituted, and shut-ins of our racial group. On Christmas eve and Christmas day 200 baskets of groceries and fruit were distributed, regardless of creed or denomination, to 200 families in the various sections of the city. For 19 years this club has been looking after these needy people twice a year, Christmas and Easter. held her fourth annual conference of the Central District Association of Colored Women's Clubs, of which she was president. The next session will be held in Minneapolis, Minn., in July, 1931. "The reports from the ten states showed great activity among the club women along all lines of uplift and welfare work," said Mrs. Scott. Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart, the national president, was present and contributed in many ways toward the success of the conference. As the four year limit was up, Mrs. Scott retired from the presidency. She was given many beautiful presents in appreciation of the splendid service she had rendered during her four-year regime. The new officers elected are Mrs. Lillian B. Brown, president. Indianapolis, Ind.; Mrs. Myrtle F. Cook, first vice-president, Kansas City, Mo.; Mrs. C. S.

St. Louis, Mo. WILLIAM H. HARRIS Pain in Side MUSS Isola King, 405 Eighth Ave., (North), Nashville, Tenn., writes: "About two years ago, I was in ill health. I suffered a great deal with my side and back. My back was so weak I could hardly stand it if I had to stand any length of time. "At times, I would have very severe headaches. "I read of Cardul, and decided to try it. I have never regretted it for it helped me so much. The pain and soreness left my side, and I quit having the headache. My back felt so much better. I took Cardul off and on for a year. Now I am in good health; have been for a year." For sale by all druggists. CARDUI Helps Women to Health EC-20 Stubborn Cougns Ended by Recipe, Mixed at Home Here is the famous old recipe which millions of housewives have found to be the most dependable means of breaking up a stubborn, lingering cough. It takes but a moment to prepare and costs little. It also breeds coughs that follow severe cold epidemics. From any druggist, get $2\frac{1}{2}$ ounces of Pinex, pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. Thus you make a full pint of better remedy than you would have made in the first cost. It never bruises and tastes so good that even children like it. Not only does this simple mixture soothe and heal the inflamed throat membranes with surprising ease, but also it is absorbed into the blood, and acts directly upon the bronchial tubes, thus aiding the whole system. It also helps the germ-laden phlegm and causes chest soreness in a way that is really astonishing. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form. Nothing known in medicine is more helpful in cases of cough, chest colds, and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinsor. Do not give prompt relief or nonary refunded.

Pure SAUSAGE IS NOW KING BY WINIFRED THURLOW Director of the Home Service Bureau of the Washington Gas Light Company There is a season of the year when sausage is quite as good as mid-winter. Since it is rich in fat, it is one of those foods which supplies energy and warmth. In other words, this is the season for sausage. The tantalizing flavor of sausage combines well with many other foods. When used in stuffing for fowl, it makes a dish which one has said is "good enough to eat without the chicken." Sausage with apples is a dish which one remembers for a long time. And one European has remarked that "hot cakes and sausage is the great American dish." Also some vegetables such as sweet potatoes irish potatoes, turnips, etc., are greatly improved when combined with the odoriferous sausage. Baked Apples With Sausage Wash, pare and core the apples, using a circular knife to remove the core. Fill the openings made by the coring knife with small pork sausage. Sprinkle apples with brown sugar. Place on a pan and surround with a little water. Bake until apples are tender. Serve hot. Grilled Sausage with Pineapple Shape sausage in small round or square cakes. Place these with slices of canned pineapple which has been well drained on the rack of the broiler. Broil pineapple and sausage until brown on both sides, brushing the pineapple with the fat which cooks from the sausage. When done, serve sausage on the slices of pineapple. Pigs in Blankets 1 Cup flour 2 Teaspoons shortening ½ Teaspoon salt 2 Teaspoons baking powder 1-3 Cupful milk Small pork sausages Sift flour, salt and baking powder together. Cut in the shortening and add the milk gradually. Fold into rectangular pieces about one-fourth of an inch in thickness. Cut into small squares and roll a sausage in each square. Place in a pan and bake at a temperature of 400 degrees to 425 degrees Fahrenheit until the sausages are cooked thoroughly (about 20 to 30 minutes). Deer Foot Potatoes Wash and pare large white potatoes. Make two holes through each potato with a coreing knife. Fill these openings with small pork sausages. Place in a pan and bake until potatoes are brown, basting frequently with the fat which cooks out into the pan. KITCHEN RESOLUTIONS 1. Resolved, that I shall keep my kitchen neater and make it more HOT CAKES AND HOT BISCUITS ALWAYS AT THEIR BEST WHEN SERVED WITH Real Alaga Cane Syrup The number of our readers learning of the "JOY" that comes from using Real ALAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuits is ever increasing. They have also learned that Candy, Pumpkin Pies, Cookies, etc., "fit for a King," are made with ALAGA Cane Syrup. Regular shipments are now being received in Washington, right from where the Sugar Cane grows, to meet the rapidly increasing demand. ALAGA Cane Syrup is the entire juice of the Sugar Cane plant boiled down to syrup, with nothing added, except a very small portion of corn syrup to prevent sugaring in the can. Yes! It is higher than ordinary syrups, but not half as expensive as maple syrup; whereas it is among the choicest of table and fancy baking syrups. Nevertheless, it has a flavor all its own. Ask your grocer for the Real ALAGA Cane Syrup. If he does not have it the following stores can supply you till his shipment arrives: M. Rubenstein, 1100 3rd St. N.E. A. Silverman, 931 L St. N.W. N.

NEGRO PRESS MAKES PROGRESS Four of the exchanges coming to our desk, had special Christmas numbers, with increased number of pages and all dolled up. The Amsterdam News had four sections with a total of 48 pages, 8 of which was rotogravure and a special magazine section. This was its 20th Anniversary number. The Amsterdam News is undoubtedly New York City's best Negro newspaper. The Nashville Globe came out in a pink cover with 40 pages with volume 26, number 51, which was two weeks before its 27th birthday. The Birmingham Reporter came out with 30 pages in three sections, with "The Spirit of Christmas" dominating the first page. Editor Adams unhesitatingly says that The Reporter is "The South's leading weekly journal." The Florida Sentinel of 16 pages with the front and last pages decorated in pillars of holly presents the spirit of the season. It has volume 44, number 25, on its front page. It is therefore the oldest of the quartet and ranks well up in front with the oldest Negro newspapers in this country. 1928 marked a year of progress for the Negro press and the big issues of the four papers at the close of the year speaks well for their advertising department. May they continue to improve and increase their number of pages in regular issues as well as their number of subscribers. TO OPERATE DEPARTMENT STORE The Mercantile Trading Company organized for the purpose of buying and operating a Department store is now offering five thousand shares of stock at Ten Dollars each par value, which when sold will enable this corporation to complete the purchase of the store it has in mind in the very heart of the business section of Washington. A full page advertisement in this issue will explain the purposes of this organization and the impelling reasons which have brought it into existence. We would advise our readers to ponder carefully the statement made, with which we are in accord. There can be no doubt but that we as a race are being hard pressed to maintain our economic foothold, for we are losing jobs, here, there and everywhere. We can not continue to lose employment under whites unless we provide employment for ourselves. The organized industrial and financial resources of our people can solve this critical situation, not only in Washington but elsewhere, and the Mercantile Trading Company is simply blazing a new trail for the race, opening a wider opportunity for employment as well as to enjoy the profits from some of the millions which we spend annually with white merchants and receive such negligible returns—frequently scant courtesy, sometimes segregation and insult. There can be no doubt but that The Mercantile Trading Company is entering the field of business at the right moment and we urge race support to this highly commendable movement. WASHINGTON'S OUTLOOK FOR 1930 With the plans that have been approved, the development of Washington is now assured. For 1930 and the next few years to follow will see the greatest building and beautification program in the history of the District. The plans already approved, some of which are in operation, include improvement of the Mall, the parks, the driveways, section South of Pennsylvania Avenue, Union Station Plaza, The New House Office Building, The New Supreme Court Building and The New addition to the Congressional Library suggests the future of the Nation's Capital, as a city, to be among the brightest in the country. Living amid this progress, improvement and beautification, the 127,000 Negroes here should catch the spirit of the times and propose and execute a plan of improvement among themselves, in keeping with the progress of the city they have selected as a home. By way of suggestion may we mention the possibility which exists here for improvement of our educational status and facilities. The big opportunity here for improved industrial and commercial enterprises in furniture making and selling; in ice cream manufacturing and bottling plant; in laundries, in department store operation, in clothing, gents furnishings, ladies' ready-to-wear, in shoe selling, in a building and loan association, in a home improvement association, in automobile and auto supply agencies, in groceries and meats and in increased bank deposits and bank facilities. --- Liberal Progressive Independent NEGRO PRESS MAGAZINE Four of the exchanges coming numbers, with increased number of The Amsterdam News had four 8 of which was rotogravure and a its 20th Anniversary number.

LESLIE FRAZIER, Editor A man reading a book on a desk surrounded by stacks of books. THE BOLD VENTURE Mr. Slocum was a Negro and was also manager of the Harlem Steamboat Company. One morning a little colored boy came up to Mr. Slocum's desk and said, "Good morning, Mr. Slocum; I came to ask you to lend me five dollars." Mr. Slocum looked up from his desk in surprise when he heard this abrupt announcement. "What's that?" he asked curtly. "Lend me five dollars," asked the boy again. "Who are you?" demanded Mr. Slocum. "I'm nobody," said the boy; "nobody—but I want you to lend me five dollars." Mr. Slocum, who was generally hard to deal with, was secretly pleased at the boy's frank and open manner. "Do you know what borrowing money means?" asked Mr. Slocum, rising and taking his first good look at the boy. The boy was bare-footed, held his hat in his hand and his hair was nicely combed. Mr. Slocum continued, "Don't you know when a person borrows money he must pay it back?" "Oh, yes," said the boy, "I know that. You lend me the money and I will pay it back all right. I only want it for three months." "There was something in the boy's face and general department that won Mr. Slocum's favor. He ran his hand in his pocket and pulled out a five dollar bill and handed it to the boy." "Thank you, sir," said the boy; "thank you, sir; I will pay you back." Three months later the same boy entered Mr. Slocum's office. "Here's your five dollars, Mr. Slocum," said the boy, "and I am much obliged to you." "Who are you?" Mr. Slocum asked as he took the money. "I am nobody," said the boy. "Well, why did you bring me this money?" "Because I owe it to you," exclaimed the boy. The boy told Mr. Slocum of the loan three months ago and made him recall the transaction. He was then asked by Mr. Slocum to have a seat. "Well, what did you do with the money?" asked Mr. Slocum. "Well," said the boy, "I was hard up and I called on you. Me and ma had been selling papers for some time, but somehow we got behind with our expenses. House rent was due and we were without food. The house rent was not much because we occupied an atic. I had to find a friend somewhere, so after trying at many other places and failed I tried here and I paid the rent and got food, rented a little corner for ma and I to sell papers while I continued running errands for people. The five dollars I believe did me good luck, for I've been going up ever since. Me and ma are living in a better place with plenty to eat and plenty of fine customers. "I told you when I came here I was nobody, but I am somebody now—anyhow I feel so anyway, and I want to thank you for the help you gave me and to return your money." Miss Evelyn Edmunds and Mrs Wilbur Edmunds, of Washington, spent some time here visiting relatives. Miss Edmunds is a student at Howard University.

Today Tommy Tolliver (that was the boy's name) is the assistant and general manager of the Harlem Steamboat Co. Tommie's mother died some years ago, but she lived to see her boy taken out of the street, sent to school and started on his career of usefulness.

HEEDS JIM CROW DEMANDS OF BRITISH BODY John W. Driskill, secretary National Boxing Commission, told told the Tribune this week that his organization has reversed the ruling of the Championship Committee naming Al Brown world bantamweight champion. Mr. Driskill said this was in keeping with "our policy that championships must be won in the ring." Al Brown, the greatest bantamweight in the country, was named champion for the committee some time ago. Only recently the British Board of Boxing Control became a member of the National Boxing Commission and under the condition that world titular recognition of Al Brown be withdrawn. Stanley M. Isaacs, president of the National Boxing Commission agreed to the British demands and withdrew title honors given Brown by the Championship committee. The Tribune wrote the president of the National Boxing Commission asking that body had it heeded to the high-handed demands of the British Board. The letter from the National Boxing Commission, signed by the secretary follows: To the Sports Editor: Answering your letter of De- Charlie Chaplin Comedy. Colored Players Barred From N.Y. Tennis Play NEW YORK—Reginald Weir, City College, New York, and Gerald L. Norman, captain of the Flushing, N.Y. high school tennis team, were barred in the national junior indoor tennis championships her last week by the United States Lawn Tennis Association on account of their color. Edward B. Moss, secretary, in reply to a protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said the policy of the U.S.L.T.A. has been to decline entries of colored players in championship play. cember 20, 1929, wish to say that the National Boxing Association has signed a complete working agreement with the British Boxing Board of Control, and we have reversed the wording of our Championship Committee, naming Al Brown as world's bantamweight champion. This is in line with our policy that championships must be won in the ring. Brown has won the American championship, which fact we recognize. We are affiliated with the International Boxing Union, British Boxing Board of Control, Italy, and Germany, and this affiliation, if properly respected, undoubtedly will serve to make world champions of real value in the future. Very truly yours, John W. Driskill, Sec., National Boxing Asso. 7th and T Sts Northwest Phone, North 5224 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1930 O. Robert T. Murray, 3rd, Graduate of armstrong high school last June, recently completed a contract with Roxie Theatre, N. Y., singing over station WJZ. DUKE ELLINGTON AT THE REPUBLIC Washington's own Duke Ellington will appear in his first talking picture, "Black and Tan," as a special added attraction at the Republic Theatre for five days, Saturday to Wednesday, January 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. This is the first appearance of Duke's famous Cotton Club Band in the talks, which is composed of such well known artists as Arthur "Shief" Wietsel, "Sonny" Greer and Juan Tizol. Miss "Freddie" Washington appears opposite Duke in "Black and Tan" and lends capable support. "Black and Tan" is a fantasy of Harleen, and shows the struggle of a young pianist to put his orchestra over. To hear Duke and his Cotton Club Band play the "Black and Tan" symphony is alone worth the price of admission. The feature picture to be shown with "Black and Tan" will be "Her Private Affair," starring Ann Harding, the brilliant and beautiful stage star. It is the story of a young wife betrayed by the man she placed her faith in, a betrayal she paid a terrible price for. It is an all-talking picture. "Twin Beds," the greatest of all the bedroom farces, will be the feature attraction on Thursday and Friday, January 9 and 10. Jack Mullhall, Patsy Ruth Miller and Zasu Pitts have the leading roles. There are bedroom scenes that will make you titter, dance spectacles that will make you cheer, catchy melodies that you will be humming for weeks. It is an all-talking-singing drama of a newly married couple and their "Twin Beds." FORMER TRIBUNE VANCE DENIES HE NEWSBOY IS STAR MISAPPROPRIATED ON BROADWAY FUNDS FROM GAME From Tribute newsboy to Broadway is the remarkable life story of Robert Thomas Murray, Washington boy and Armstrong graduate, who is spending the holiday season here with his mother at 5 Iowa circle, northwest. Murray graduated from high school last June and was major and bridegadant of high school cadets. He will return to school Thursday morning as a guest and will present to the school library the latest works of Contee Cullen, poet. Murray made his first money selling Tribunes and as a newsboy he learned his first lesson in business. Recently he completed a special contract with the Roxie Theatre in New York singing over WJZ. While in Washington Murray has as his guest Sunshine Sammy, former movie star of "Our Gang" comedies. The rumor that Sunshine Sammy would return to the movies was denied by Murray. Sammy played at Loew's Palace here last week and this week in Baltimore. Sunshine is teaming with Joe Shields and Charles Duncan, both Baltimore juveniles. He will leave for Pittsburgh and the west after the Baltimore engagement. When seen at his home by a Tribune reporter this week, Murray was surrounded by a group of his former school mates. Mrs. Adelle Murray, mother of Robert, is her son's pal and has traveled considerably with him. She was forced to return home when she was injured in an accident. Murray gave his mother a gold toilet set for a Christmas present. While here during the holidays his friends vied with one another in entertaining him. On Saturday before Christmas eight former students gave him a royal reception at his home. The gauntlet included breakfast dances to midnight parties in Washington and Baltimore. Murray is studying under Rosamond Johnson and Hall Johnson in New York and will return to the metropolis next week by motor with Sunshine Sammy. Murray was also a contributor to the juvenile section of this paper. "Y" FIVE WALLOP ASBURY, 86-19 FREDERICK, Md.-The Twelfth Street "Y" Big Five, of Washington, defeated the Asbury Church team here, Saturday, by a score of 36-19. Both teams played an alert and fast five-man defense, but the "Y" quint got its passing game working about the middle of the second period and had little difficulty in keeping the lead. Brady, the "Y" left forward, led his team's attack by scoring six goals from the floor. Antonio Wagner, captain and forward of Asbury, was the individual star of the game, making seven goals from the floor and two from the lines. On Friday night the same teams will play in Washington at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. The game will start at 8:30 p.m. QUITS LAW FOR A CAREER ON STAGE Jimmy Johnson, the boy with the "crooning" voice at the Howard Theatre this week, is not only a Washington lad, but he quit law for a career on the stage. Johnson studied law two years when he "discovered" he had a voice that meant almost as much to him as law books, so right away he found himself in demand at several of the leading theatres around New York. However, Johnson told a Tribune reporter this week, that he is planning to finish his law course after a trip to Europe which will take him away from school for a year or two. Johnson was at Howard University in 1915, but left for New York to complete his schooling when he "found" his voice. He is just filling in at the Howard. He came here to spend the holidays and in his own words, "I had a chance to pick up some extra coin." "Butterbeans and Susie," the featured attraction at the theatre, are old favorites in Washington. As usual their witty sayings and clever dialogue went over big at each performance. The chorus is pretty, can dance and the comedians are actually funny. Due to the many newspaper articles in regard to the Kappa Alpha Psi and Omega Psi Phi basketball game held at the Lincoln Colonnade, December 26, 1928, at which time I, J. Marcus E. Vance, am supposed to have abscoured with an amount of from three hundred to five hundred dollars. I feel that it is imperative that I be permitted to make a statement in regard to the same. Upon the face of the facts as presented, one would believe that I had left the town misappropriating moneys which had been entrusted to me by the aforementioned fraternities. This is not the fact as can be easily borne out by all parties primarily interested. I had agreed to promote the game between these two fraternities on a basis different from that which had been the custom prior to December 26, 1928. My agreement with the fraternities was by way of contract to pay them for their services a said and guaranteed sum of seventy-five dollars ($75.00) each. My relation in this matter was purely that of a promoter. Any and all moneys received at the gate were my moneys and not those of the fraternities until such amounts as they were entitled to were turned over to them in accordance with the terms set out in our contract. There is not now nor has there ever been any criminal liability on my part in this matter. A contractual relation was breached for which there were and are civil remedies. However, because of the fact that I realize the unsportsmanlike position taken by me at the time, I have returned to the city to fulfill my moral and legal obligations of paying off such debts as I justly owe. My actions at the time were motivated by a cause which is absolutely personal to me. The consequences of which I alone will have to suffer. I regret profoundly any inconvenience which might have been suffered by these parties in contractural relation with me. I feel certain that by fulfilling my end of the contract and by paying obligations which I owe, I will, in a measure, satisfy and correct the evil done. J. Marcus E. Vance, Jr. LICHTMAN "5" TO MEET WHITE TEAM The Lichtman Theatre baskets will formally open the season here Thursday night, January 9, with the Stewart Brothers, of Silver Spring, Md. The local team has been victorious in their two starts this year, having defeated the Baltimore Athenians and the National Circle Club, a white team. The Stewart Brothers' quint is considered one of the best white teams in this section of the country. The squad is headed by "Doc" Hessler, star forward, and Shapiro, for Business High star. The visitors have a string of 16 consecutive victories to their credit and the Washington boys will have to step to beat this team. The Lichtman line-up will include "Slim" Thomas, Dennis Simpson, the Davis Brothers, Willie Hope, Joe Suter, and Leroy Coates. The game will be played in the newly decorated Pythian Temple. Pythian Temple Being Remodeled For Basketball The Pythian temple, Twelfth and You streets, northwest, the first hall in Washington to be used for basketball, will undergo alterations, decorated and equipped for the great indoor game gain this winter. When present plans are completed the hall will rank among the best basketball courts in the city. The Lichtman Theatre "S" will play every Thursday night as soon as the hall is completed. The manager of the team is planning to bring the Renaissance team, of New York, here before the season ends. Armstrong did not win the baseball championship of the District as stated in the Tribune last week. The series was not played for the title when arrangements for the play failed to materialize. REPUBLIC CAFETERIA LUNCH 1350 YOU STREET, N.W. U Street, at 14th We carry a nice line of Green Vegetables and Fresh Cuts of Meats. Home Pastries, very delicious. alton Sunshine Sammy, former star of "Our Gang," is through with the movies. Sammy has been spending the holidays here with Robert T. Murray, radio artist. Mr Murray declared Sunshine would hardly return to the movies as rumored. The little artist has an act of his own with two Baltimore boys, Joe Shields and Charlie Duncan. FARINA IS A GIRL AFTER BEING BOY "Farina" of "Our Gang" fame is a girl after all. The little movie star was a boy until he grew too large to play with the "gang." Allen Clay Hoskins, the first "Farina" is a boy and played with Sunshine Sammy in "Our Gang" comedies. Hoskins' hair was allowed to grow by his brother until he grew to be a big boy and objected. Recently he left "Our Gang" and his part is now played by a real girl. Sunshine Sammy said he did not know the new Farina's name. GAINES BROTHERS STAR TUMBLERS "The Cuban Athletes," the greatest team of tumblers on the stage, have many stellar roles in the Fox productions showing over the country. These two boys known as the Gaines Brothers were recently seen in Washington when the "Gold-Diggers of Broadway" was played at a local house. The same two brothers played the part of French officers in a big movie production. The brothers are neither Cubans or French, but are Negroes. Several years ago they started a tumbling act around Baltimore and it went over big in several small houses. Being very fair they were booked at several of the white houses when they decided to call themselves "The Cubans." The pair has traveled all over the world and have played in the leading houses in this country. The writer met these boys some years ago and was told by AI, the ed of being colored while playing older, that when they were suspect in the south, they merely had to mutter some jargon which was enough to satisfy southern whites. Anacostia Juniors Baseball Champions, To Celebrate The Anacostia Juniors, conquerors of the Willow Tree Juniors, for the city championship last year, will hold their initial meeting for the year on Friday at the club rooms, 2445 Nichols avenue, southeast, Anacostia, at 8:30 p.m. All members are requested to be present as new officers will be elected. Charles Williams, director of the team, will give a smoker after the meeting in honor of the team. HOST TO GRIDDERS MONTGOMERY, Ala.—The Alabama State Teachers College served as host for an evening meal here Tuesday night to the Fisk University football team en route to Houston, Texas, for their January 1st game with Prairie View. PHONE NORTH 7956 ```markdown ``` REPUBLIC Sunday, 2:45 to 11 P.M. PETER J. "BLACK AND TAN" is a fantasy of Harlem—a realistic, human reproduction of a strata of life in New York's great Negro section. Duke Ellington is the pianist and leader of a Negro dance orchestra which is striving for recognition. Poverty handicaps Duke in his efforts to reach the top, and he nearly loses his piano, to be removed for unpaid rent. But Freddie Washington, a dancer of ability, saves the instrument for him and in addition secured the orchestra a job in the night club where she is to open. Duke and his band are instant successes. Freddie, however, has had an attack of heart trouble, and collapses on the floor as she finishes her featured dance number. She is taken to her home, where Duke and his band gather. Freddie is dying and her last request, that Duke play his "Black and Tan" symphony, is answered by the musicians at her bedside. She dies in contentment.
