Dr. W.A. Warfield Quits Masonic Board Curtis-Fitzhugh Case Continued Monday Coming Next Week Bigger And Better Watch For it MASONS SHOCKED AT RESIGNATION OF DR. WARFIELD Says Other Duties Make It Impossible For Him to Serve Dr. William A. Warfield, chairman of the board of trustees of the Acacia Grand Lodge of Masons, has resigned as a member of that body. His resignation was submitted to Grand Master Al Dodson, who accepted same. Dr. Warfield was elected for a term of five years only three weeks ago. His sudden resignation came as a complete surprise to his colleagues on the trustee board and has created widespread speculation and consternation in Masonic circles. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Dr. Warfield stated that soon after his election to the board, he discovered that the work of running the affairs of the temple which are so involved as to make it physically impossible for him to serve the fraternity and at the same time perform the other responsibilities devolving upon him Dr. Warfield is surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital and chief medical examiner for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. He has been prominently identified with the Masonic Lodge here for a number of years. WOMAN LEAVES TIMBER LAND TO A.M.E.Z.RELIEF However Six Degrees Below Zero Makes It Bad for Southerners The late Mrs. Emmaline Barber, of West Grandville, Mass., willed the Ministerial Relief department of the A.M.E. Zion Church 200 acres of fine timbered land, 20 miles from Springfield, Mass. Rev. Thomas W. Wallace, secretary of the Relief Department, returned Saturday from a trip to West Grandville, where he went to pay the taxes on this tract and to inspect it. Rev. Wallace states that it was generally understood that Mrs. Barber left this fine track for a home for aged and retired ministers. It would be fine for the northern ministers of the denomination but not very good for the southern ministers. He said that it was 6 degrees below zero there last Friday night, and that ice on the lakes was 14 inches thick, and the people were talking of harvesting ice like they would speak of harvesting corn or wheat or any other product. This fine track of land is worth from eight to ten thousand dollars. It has fine timber characteristic of that section. This is the first time that a colored woman has left her property to the Ministerial Relief department of this denomination. Funeral Rites Held for Miss Bernice McDonald Miss Bernice B.

'BLESSING' RACKET NETS GYPSY OVER $700 IN NORTHWEST Newest Game Is To Pray Over Money and Then Disappear The Gypsy "blessing" racket, the latest con game in the northwest section, has netted Gypsy women over $700 and an amount of clothing and two residents are out an equal amount during the week. Gypsy women dressed in gaudy clothing have invaded the section and their racket is to call on women and "bless" articles of value. They make it a point to see that the "victim" does not open the "blessed" package for a period of time. When it is finally opened the article is gone (so has the Gypsy) and in its stead a worthless bundle of paper. These women from foreign lands also give lucky "numbers" for a (Continued on page.2) Given 8 Years for Killing Innocent 3-Year Old Child After pleading guilty to a man-slaughter charge in connection with the death of three-year-old Dorothy Kelly last September 20, Henry Pratt was sentenced to serve eight years in the penitentiary by Justice Pevton Gordon Saturday in Criminal Division, No. 1.

Warf zhugh LOCAL ATTORNEY ASKS $50,000 FOR FALSE ARREST Claims Victor Daly Caused Woman to Swear Out Warrants Three suits for a total of $150- 000. damages were filed Wednesday in the District Supreme Court by Garfield C. Thompson, of 9 Han- over street, northwest, a lawyer. Thompson appears as his own attorney, and brought two of the suits against Natalie E. Levy, of 2321 Ontario road, northwest, and the third against Victor R. Daly, with offices in the Prudential Bank Building. Each suit is for damages of $50,000. Daly is involved, Thompson declares, for having influenced the woman to cause his false arrest. He also alleges that the woman swore to two warrants against him in police court, charging him with destroying property and that one of the charges was nolle prossed and he was acquitted on the other after the grand jury had indicted him. Thompson alleges that as a result of his arrest and imprisonment and trial he was injured in his fame, reputation and name. SOUTHERN WHITES SHOW INTEREST IN NEGRO HISTORY SOUTHERN WHITES SHOW INTEREST IN NEGRO HISTORY One of the results from the efforts of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, according to the report recently made by Dr. Carter G. Woodson, is the interest in the movement shown by Southern white men in charge of State departments of education and colleges. The Southern white press has also given warm-hearted support. This is a new thought in the changing program of a regenerated South. The thinking element now realizes that you cannot inspire people by holding up before them what others have accomplished while decrying at the same time the worth of their own particular group. They are now saying that if the Negro is to be inspired to keep above vagabondage and crime, he must have held up before him daily those of his own group who have demonstrated the capacity of the race. Translating this new thought into action, these white educators are distributing Negro History Week literature, developing plans for appropriate exercises and actually participating in them.

TIDRINGTON Shot to Death by Man Who Occupied Opposite View In Election EVANSVILLE, Ind.—Ernest G. Tidrington, 48, lawyer of national note and for many years a giant Indiana, political power, was shot and killed here last Wednesday night. Mr. Tidrington, for many years active in local and state politics with headquarters here, was fatally shot in the back of the neck by Luther Bell, 47, local pool-room operator. Opposed Each Other Mr. Tidrington's alleged murderer is said to have conducted a gambling house in connection with the pool room. In the last election Mr. Tidrington and Bell were known to have occupied opposite positions. Since then it is alleged the new Evansville administration has refused to issue a license to Bell whose place of business was raided recently by a dry squad. Bell Arrested Wednesday afternoon of last week Bell, who bears an unsavory reputation here, was arrested on a warrant charging him with drawing a deadly weapon on another man. Bell, who blamed Mr. Tidrington for his arrest, is said to have secretly carried in his heart a pent up determination to wreak vengeance upon the man he destroyed Wednesday night. Previous to shooting Mr. Tidrington to death, Bell had openly threatened to "run him out of town." Shot in Car Mr. Tidrington was shot as he sat in his car after stopping opposite a drug store on his way down town from his home which together with Mrs. Tidrington, he had left at 8 o'clock. The drug store at which Tidrington stopped is located on the opposite side of the street and about a half block below Bell's pool room Seeing Tidrington's car stop Bell grabbed his shot gun and rushed to a position in the middle of the street from which point he fired through the rear door of the machine and shattered Tidrington's neck on the left side. Mrs. Tidrington had just stepped from the drug store to rejoin her husband in the car when Mr. Tidrington was shot by his assassin. Mr. Tidrington was rushed to the St. Mary's hospital where he died 10 minutes later. K. P. Head Mr. Tidrington, who was born in the State of Tennessee and a life long resident of this city was fraternally as well as politically known throughout the nation. Because of his singularly able caliber and unusually high executive ability, he was for twenty-six years state grand chancellor and six years supreme worthy counselor, of the Knights of Pythias. Reputed to have been a man of considerable means, Mr. Tidrington, who all his life was a Republican of the first order, was chairman of the Negro bureau of Republican voters of the State Central committee several times. A right hand man of Senator James E. Watson, for many years, Mr. Tidrington had it to his credit to have long acted in the singular capacity of personal advisor to the senior Senator from Indiana. For years he was actively associated with the A.M.E. Church, of which he was a member of long standing and salient prominence. It is significant to mention in the latter connection that Mr. Tidrington was a delegate to the national convention of that denomination. All during his life he was known to lend lavishly and unselfishly, his time and efforts to any move or project undertaken for the purpose of advancing the interest of his group. Was An Elk Mr. Tidrington, who was a member of Indiana Lodge No. 104, I.B. P.O.E. of W., was personally responsible for many city, state and Federal positions now held by Negroes in Indiana.

Dr. William J. Thompkins, managing editor of the Kansas City American, of Kansas City, Mo., asked the commission at a hearing to issue to his newspaper a license for a 250-watt broadcasting station. Commission records show that there are no broadcasting stations license dto Negroes or Negro organizations. "We hope to stimulate interracial interests, offering America's tions license to Negroes or Negro folklore, exemplifying the spiritual life of the Negro in sermons and demonstrating the Negro's conception of patroritism and Americanism," he stated. One of the main reasons for the station, said Dr. Thompkins, is for the uplifting and educating of the Negro, and to give people "the Negro viewpoint." The application filed by Dr. Thompkins was for assignment on the 1,102 kilocycle channel with unlimited time and 250 watts. Representatives of two other broadcasting stations, WISN, Milwaukee, and KTRA, Houston asked leave to object to the assignment of the station on this channel because of technical interference that might result. The application was taken under advisement by the commission. SOUTHWEST NEWS Mrs. Martha Cunningham, of 780 3rd street, n.w., is very ill.

Sponsored by Joseph M. Schenck and released by United Artists, the picture is based on the famous Broadway stage success, "Tin Pan Alley," written by Hugh Stanislaus Stange. Enthusiastically heralded by the country's leading critics as one of the best examples of the new celluloid art, "New York Nights" unfolds a tale of the show people who help to characterize city life. The pivotal character is a young chorus girl, Jill, who is the sole support of Fred, her lovable but quite irresponsible song-writing husband. Fred parries her threat to leave him by interesting Jill in his latest number. The song gives Prividi, a racketeer producer, an opportunity to win his way into Jill's favor.

The action from this point on, builds up to a terrific climax replete with surprises and strong situations. Norma Talmade as the hauless little chorus-girl has one of the most colorful roles of her career. Her speaking voice, from all accounts, is rich with feeling and tonal color and gives added strength to a characterization pulsating with reality.

WESLEY TO BUILD APARTMENT Expert Advocates Merging Several Churches In District The report of Charles M. Thomas, as chairman of the committee on economics, was the feature of the meeting of the Federated Civic Association, Friday night. His report dealt with the economic condition of the Negro in the District of Columbia and offered several recommendations as a solution for some of the ills here in Washington. Mr. Thomas recommended the formation of a Negro Board of Trade with a paid expert on the job. The merging of Israel and Lane C.M.E. Churches, of Shiloh and Walker Memorial Baptist Churches, and the raising of the church at Ninth and P streets, and the erecting of an apartment house on that spot. The merging of John Wesley and Metropolitan Churches and erectio nof an apartment house on John Wesley site, with stores on Fourteenth street. A reorganization of church finance was suggested to improve the general scheme of church wealth. He suggested the employment of an attorney to look into the assessment of Negro property owners for better returns. Better Assessment Returned Mr. Thomas told of colored high schools employing white florists to furnish their palms and flowers for their entertainments. He placed the Negro in two classes regarding money making: first, the security lover who will hang on to an underpaid salary rather than venture cut into trade and salesmanship; second, the gambling type who wanted to get quick money. We have no middle class. He stated that colored employee in the District Government are be denied by Negroes being retired and being replaced with white employees, even to truck drivers. Resolution to Hoover A resolution was passed deploring the failure of colored men to receive appointment under the District Commissioners. This resolution petitioned President Hoover to give consideration in his selection of District Commissioners, to those who might be inclined to distribute more equitably the appointments in the District service.

Slowe, of Howard University, before the Parent-Teacher Association of the John F. Cook School in the auditorium of that school, Tuesday night. "The rush to work," continued the dean, "is destroying our homes. The children are thrown upon their own resources. They are permitted to run the streets at all hours of the night, when they should be tucked in bed. J. C. Payne offered a resolution, which passed, asking for more equal bus and street car fares in the District, with universal free transfers; approval of the bill now pending in Congress for the merger of the two car lines, and 5-cent fares for school children from 7 to 9 in the morning and from 3 to 5 in the afternoon.

Fountleroy, of 1803 Second street, northwest, passed away Monday, at his residence and was buried in Phoebus, Va., Thursday, following the funeral at Moon & Allen's funeral parlors, Wednesday afternoon. Mr. Fountleroy was born in Phoebus, Va., 42 years ago. He was married to Miss Esther Webb, of Alexandria, Va., in 1912. He was a contractor and builder, and constructed the Russell building near Fifteenth and H streets, northwest, and the DeVille office building on Seventh street, northwest. He was working at the Union Station at the time of his death. He leaves a widow and three children, Anneita, 12; Frederick Jr., 11, and Jack, 9. A father and three sisters. "They need more care now than in 1890, before we had the moving pictures and automobiles. A man may pick up our girls and in ten minutes you can't tell where they are. Nothing can take the place of home training. Give your children some of your time." Four Suggestions Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of the public schools, said that he was struck with the creative effort of fine art, drawing, music and literature. He expressed the desire that every elementary school in the District should have an auditorium. "This program of dramatic art has inspired the study of it at Franklin School with the view of forming a program for the entire system," he asserted. He spoke of the annual lunch given by this association and suggested that the association petition the Board to make an experiment with the Washington Vocational School in supplying hot lunches to the elementary schools in this section. He told of how the Cleveland public schools prepare hot lunches and send them to the schools by truck. Many children come to school without breakfast. Regarding the health school, Mr. Wilkinson said that it would be good to petition Congress to strike out the phrase "and sanatorium" in the appropriation for the health school, owing to the fact that there is a proposal for a $500,000 sanatorium for all the children of the Dilict. Regarding the dental clinics, Mr. Wilkinson suggested to the association that it ask Congress for two additional dental clinics. J. C. Payne, principal of the school, told of his desire to secure a large picture of the late John F. Cook, the first colored school teacher in the District, who taught before 1850. Rev. L. C. Cleaves, the president, provided. The children of the 6B grade presented a pageant pertain- to Beniamin Franklin. COOK PORTRAIT TO BE HUNG IN BOARD ROOM Former Superintendent Portrait to be Presented to Board At the meeting of the Board of Education, Wednesday, it voted to accept a portrait of a former superintendent of schools, Geo. F. T. Cook. This offer is from the Columbian Educational Association, of which M. Grant Lucas is president. The association will frame and present the portrait to be hung in the board room along with other notables of the school system of Washington. Born in the District of Columbia, George F. T. Cook was a son of Rev. John F. Cook, Sr., pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, and founder in 1833 of his private school for colored children in this district and a teacher in the same. George F. T. Cook, A.M., was graduated from Oberlin College and received experience as a teacher in his father's school. He was later appointed as superintendent of the public colored schools of the cities of Washington and Georgetown of the District of Columbia, serving from 1868 to 1870, and continuously from 1871 to 1900. Appointed by Trustees He was first appointed to the position of superintendent of the colored schools of Washington and Georgetown by the trustees, under the law authorizing the establishment of the colored schools, passed in 1862, which trustees were appointed by the Secretary of the Interior. In 1871, the form of government for the District of Columbia was changed to that of a territory but Mr. Cook continued as superintendent of the colored schools. The schools were not transferred from the Secretary of the Interior to the territorial form of government until 1873, and its governor was then empowered to appoint a board of trustees, a secretary, a treasurer, and a superintendent. In 1874, the territorial form of government was abolished. Mr. Cook was appointed superintendent by the trustees of the public schools of the District of Columbia, who were appointed by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, who assumed office under this changed form of government in 1874. price will be: $3.00 for one year; $1.50 for six months; 90c for three months. THE new, bigger and better Tribune will be edited by one of the best staffs of expert journalist obtainable. THE news contents, pictures and features in the new, bigger, and better Tribune will be more than doubled. Therefore, this very slight increase in selling price does not nearly offset the cost necessary to the production of this increased size. COLUMBIA TEMPLE, No. 422, I.B.P.O.E. of W.

Thomas said he was struck, Sunday, on the head with the butt of a pistol, but told police he did not know who hit him. He paid no attention to the injury at first, but becoming worse, sought treatment from a Dr. Wart, of Marlboro, Md., who ordered him to the hospital. It is believed that the wound was inflicted by an instrument heavier than a pistol butt, which caused a fracture of the skull. $100 For your old car, provided it will run to our sales room, on any car selling above $350.

Trigg, of 1605 Fifteenth street, northwest, were not proscribed by the Government in criminal court No. 1 last Monday. The Government gave no reason for its declaration that it would not press the charge against Brown and Trigg, but it is believed that Howard University officials underwent a chance of heart. The two boys, former Howard University medical students, are alleged to have stolen a microscope from the university on October 1 last. The instrument was valued at $125. It was said to have been sold to Albert V. Anderson, another student, for $40. It was recognized when Anderson took it to class and he was questioned concerning its ownership. The arrest of Brown and Trigg and their subsequent indictment by the grand jury followed Anderson's telling from whom he had purchased the microscope. Dean Numa P. G. Adams and Anderson were witnesses before the grand jury which returned the indictment.

Peterson's possesses such remarkable healing and soothing qualities that minor pimples and blackheads go like magic—that obstinate cases of burning Eczema are gone after a few days treatment. First application takes out itching and burning. Virgile Hawkins, of Wallace, Va., writes: "I had a very bad case of Eczema. The eruptions on one of my arms were so bad I couldn't use it. I had a severe rash a year ago, got a box of Peterson's Ointment and in 2 weeks my Eczema had disappeared." Eczema and itching skin can't withstand the powerful healing influence of Peterson's Ointment and one 35c box will prove it. All drug-stores.

Mrs. Mary McGhee, 2711 Eleventh street, northwest, was the hardest hit by this band of roving nomads. She is out nn even $700. Mrs. McGhee consented to let a Gypsy woman "bless" a sum of money that had been saved over a period of time. Mrs. McGhee was told that her money would bring her "bad luck." If she would let the Gypsy "bless" the money it would be O. K., and the luck changed. Besides many more dollars would be added to the $700. Mrs. McGhee finally yielded to the talkative Gypsy. The "money" was wrapped in a pillow case and prayers were said over it by the Gypsy. After other rites and ceremonies the Gypsy took her leave, telling Mrs. McGhee not to open the pillow case until Monday. Mrs. McGhee carried out instructions to the letter as "bad luck" is not to be sneezed at these days, and Mrs. McGhee did not want any ill luck. Early Monday when the package was opened the money was gone and in its place was a bundle of old (very old) newspapers. Police are looking for the Gypsy and Mrs. McGhee is looking for her money. Grace Hutchinson, domestic in an apartment house on P street near Thirty-first, had the same experience last Thursday, but luckily she gave the Gypsy only $10 and some clothes to "bless." The money and clothes were to be left at a church to be doubly "blessed." The Gypsy forgot to leave either at the appointed place. hy Her Aspirin - and why regular?

THE WASHINGTCN TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1930 -Tribune Staff Photograph. FREE TEXT BOOKS FOR JUNIOR AND SENIOR HIGHS Present Eligible Teachers' List to Be Void by July 1 Dr. J. Hayden Johnson offered a motion at the meeting of the Board of Education, Wednesday, to ask Congress for two additional dental clinics for the public schools of the District, which was passed unanimously. There is provision for one additional dental clinic and if only one is provided Dr. Johnson asked that it be given to divisions 10 to 13, since there is only one dental clinic in these divisions, while there are three, in the first nine divisions. The Board estimated, that it would take $242,088.00 to supply free books and supplies for the junior and senior high schools of the District, beginning in September of this year and passed a motion to ask the Commissioners to include that amount in their deficiency bill. The bill passed the House Monday and awaits Hoover's signature. Supt. Ballou reported that the present list of persons eligible to teach here would be good only until July 1, when the three-year normal course requirement will go into effect. No person will be appointed to teach in the elementary schools of the District who has not completed a three-year normal course. It was also decided that none of the February graduates of the high schools would be admitted to the Teachers College. The colleges cannot accept more than 150 students for each class. Unless they do post work in the high schools there is nowhere for them to go until next September. To meet the demands of the highway plans, Garfield school is to be moved at a cost of $75,000. The two portables ordered to Twentieth and Rosedale streets, northeast, will not be placed there because of lack of toilet facilities. The Board accepted the gift of the portrait of former Superintendent Geo. F. T. Cook for the Board room. Suit. Cook was an independent superintendent of colored schools here from 1868 to 1900. It was reported that the eight additional rooms to the Morgan school would be ready by March 8, 1930. Ministers Here Seek to Abolish Sunday Funerals (Continued from page 1) evidence Baptist Church, offered a motion to abolish Sunday funerals. It was referred to the executive committee and will be reported on at the conference next Monday. Lively discussion is anticipated. Many of the leading ministers are favoring abolishing Sunday funerals. The benefits of the Community Chest was stressed by Rev. Jas. L. Pinn and Rev. W. A. Taylor. The Stoddard Baptist Home, on Bryant street, northwest, has been admitted to the Chest and increased interest was manifested in the present campaign from January 28 to February 6, 1930. The Stoddard Baptist Home for the aged will receive $7,755.54 from the Community Chest this year. Rev. A. Sales read a letter to be sent to Garnet C. Wilkinson, asking for the appointment of J. C. Bruce, as president of the Teachers' College at Miner Normal building. Rev. W. A. Taylor told of the failure of the Richmond segregation law and the appointment of Negro messengers by the Western Union in New York City. Rev. Holloman presided. Leaves Home to "Pitch a Drunk" Wakes In Hospital It took a lot to bring "Little" Mitchell, 52, 445 Q street, northwest, out of a drunken stupor, Sunday night. Mitchell was carried to Freedman's Hospital in a semi-conscious condition. Alleged reports are that Mitchell had left home to "pitch a drunk" Sunday morning. Sunday evening he was revived long enough to realize he had a badly cut head, mouth and face, a broken nose, and a possible fracture of the skull. He has not been able to tell police what happened to him. NEGRO CHILDRE N WILL TEST HIGH AS OTHERS, SAYS H. H. Long Tells Group at Yale Surroundings Play Important Part Howard H. Long, member of the Teachers' College class of 1915, now assistant superintendent of public schools of the District of Columbia, in charge of research in Divisions 10 to 13, recently delivered an address at Yale University on testing of colored children in the public schools in Washington. The occasion was the International Conference of Psychologist with twenty-seven countries represented. The evidence presented by Mr. Long was a startling contradiction of that taken from other sections of the country where the I Q of colored children was shown to be very much lower. The reasons for this fact, as presented by Mr. Long, was that Negro children are isolated both socially and economically without exposure to such cultural influences as enjoyed by children of other races. This was proved by the high I Q of the Washington test where the cultural environment of the children was taken into consideration. Mr. Long concluded with a proposition that Negro children under like cultural conditions will test as high as children of any other race. Girl Attempts Suicide Rose Clark, 22, 902 Florida avenue, drank the contents of a bottle of iodine while in the front room of the above address on Friday shortly after 1:30 p.m. The girl was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing car and first aid administered by Dr. L. H. Berry. Her condition is undetermined. "Cottonfield Blues" parts 162 Vocal with Guitars by GARFIELD AKERS Vocalion Record No1442 Folks, have you heard this big hit?

Howe, 1534 T street, northwest, was held Wednesday from St. Luke's Episcopal Church and his body interred in Harmony Cemetery. Mr. Howe died Saturday following an illness of several weeks. Mr. Howe was born in Wilmington, N.C. in 1859 of free parents and was the son of the late Alfred A. Howe, architect and builder, who purchased his wife for $2,200 in gold so that his children might be born free. Mr. Howe was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of the Capital. He was among the last members of the Negro race to be driven from North Carolina during the Wilmington riots and was told never to return. It was largely through the work of Mr. Howe that the last colored man from North Carolina to be elected to Congress was seated. He supported Jeter C. Pritchard, who was elected to the United States Senate from North Carolina. He also supported Dockery for Governor against Russell, who was elected. It was during the Russell regime that the now famous Wilmington riots occurred. Mr. Howe was educated from the University of South Carolina, the Institute for Colored Youth, Philadelphia, and at the Boston Latin School. At the latter school he finished a six-year course in four years and was the only colored student in over 600 students at the school. He taught a year in Maryland and returned to Wilmington in 1886 to marry Miss Aurelia L. Davis. He served a term in the State Legislature of North Carolina in 1896, and the same year came to Washington and was employed in the Treasury Department where he has remained for more than 30 years up to the time of his retirement in 1929. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. T. J. Brown, rector of St Luke's, assisted by the Rev. F. I. Bennett. He was a member of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks, Masons and Odd Fellows. A large delegation of Elks attended the services headed by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson. The hall-bearers were Lennel Harris, William Stewart, Daniel Edmonds, Woolsey Hall, Dr. H. C. Scurlock, and Robert J. Nelson. A fracture of the right knee was sustained, Monday, by William H. Booze, 100 block Randolph street, northwest, when he fell on the ice at First and P streets, northwest. He was treated at Emergency Hospital.

When Your Cough Hangs On, Mix This at Home The best cough remedy that money could buy, can easily be mixed at home. It saves money and gives you the most reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever need. The key it takes hold of stubborn coughs and chest colds, giving immediate relief, is astonishing. Any drugstreet can supply you with 2½ ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and fill up with plain granulated sugar syrup or strained honey. It's no trouble at all to mix, and when you once use it, you will never be without it. Keeps it cooly and tastes good—children really like it. It is surprising how quickly this loosens the germ-laden phlegm, and soothes and heals the inflamed membranes. At the same time, part of the medicine is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes, and helps the system throw off the whole trouble. Even those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics, are promptly ended. Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of crosate, in a reactive form. Nothing is more medicine if more helpful in cases of severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.

SKIN Homesickness Given As Cause For boy and Girl Seeking Death WILBERFORCE, O.—Homesickness and melancholia are blamed by authorities of Wilberforce University here for two alleged attempts by students to commit suicide. William Jones, 17 years old, Cleveland, a sophomore in the academy, attempted to strangle himself by pulling a string necktie tightly about his throat at 1:30 in his room in O'Neill hall, Monday morning. Robert Neal, a roommate, awakened by the struggles of the boy, cut the tightly bound tie from his neck. Jones explained his action by saying that he wanted to go home so badly. He was sent home later in the day by college authorities. Marie Wormley, 18 years, freshman, whose home is in Missouri, is said to have attempted to throw herself from an open window in the third floor room of Marjorie Burkes, another student, in Shorter hall, girls' dormitory, at 7 o'clock last night. Miss Burkes grasped the girl, preventing her carrying out her intention. Miss Burkes said that Miss Wormley entered her room a short time before and fell on the bed in a fit of weeping. Jumping from the bed she tried to dash herself through the window. Three weeks ago a Cuban student at Wilberforce killed himself by taking poison. SENATOR BLAINE FLAYS HOOVER FOR HAITIAN TROUBLE Senate Committee Refuses To Authorize a Com- The Senate Foreign Relations Committee last Wednesday refused to endorse the appointment by the President of a commission to study and review the policies of the United States in Haiti, but reported favorably a resolution authorizing an appropriation of $50,000 for an inquiry "by commission or otherwise." The resolution, which had been adopted by the House was completely rewritten by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. The Senate committee struck out the provisions of the resolution authorizing the appointment of a commission. "The committee was unanimously of the opinion that the president had authority to appoint the commission without the authority coming from the Congress," said Senator William E. Borah, Republican, of Idaho, chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, who reported the rewritten resolution. "We therefore concluded to authorize the appropriation necessary to cover the expenses of the commission." Blain Opposes Unanimous consent for consideration of the resolution was asked by Senator Borah late in the day. Senator John J. Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, objected and announced his opposition to its passage at any time. "I have no doubt that the President can appoint a commission," Senator Blaine stated. "But it does not follow that Congress should make an appropriation every time the President wants to appoint an agent or a commission to tell him what he ought to do. "The President is elected," continued Senator Blaine, "and he is elected with the assumption on the part of the people that he has some intelligence himself and that it is not always necessary to substitute the intelligence of a commission for that of the President. Of course, if he lacks information or lacks the intelligence, then it may be necessary to appoint an agent or a commission to act as a sort of substitute for the President. That is exactly the situation that confronts us. Carpetbaggers "Mr. President, it does not take very long to determine what is the matter in Haiti. The trouble in Haiti is that there are a lot of carpetbaggers there who are living upon the toil and misery of the Haitian people. There are men like Doctor Freeman, who is at the head of what is known as the Technique Institute, who draws a handsome salary out of the treasury of the Republic of Haiti, who receives his expenses and maintains himself as a sort of king in a foreign land, and who is hated by the Haitian people, as he ought to be hated by the Haitian people. "It would not take very much investigation to ascertain that those carpetbaggers in Haiti are expending practically the entire Haiti custom receipts, to a large extent expending the income of the Haitian Government, in building highways across that Republic for the benefit of a few American naval and military officers, in order that they might be able to drive their high-powered automobiles over those highways. INTERRACE MEET DRAWS CROWD IN "OLD VOL" STATE Leaders Discuss Mutual Problems at Annual Meeting NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan.—"There is no such thing as a superior race, though there are superior individuals within each race," was the statement of Rabbi Julius Mark, in his key-note address before the annual meeting of the State Interracial Committee in this city a few days ago. "The illusion of race superiority is a fallacy," Dr. Mark continued, "and gives rise to a great deal of trouble. People should learn also that race prejudice is not instinctive but acquired. Consequently it can be eradicated." The address of Dr. Mark was one of a number of interesting discussions of various phases of race relations. Among the speakers were Dr. W. J. Hale, president A. and M. College; Judge John H. Dewitt, of the state court of appeals; Dr. E. L. Bishop, state commissioner of health; J. M. Robinson, state welfare director; Lee Loventhal, of the city park board; Dr. C. V. Roman, Dr. Robert T. Burt, Dr. Mattie Coleman, and Mrs. C. L. Linkead. Says American Federation Not Friendly to Negroes NEW YORK.—T. Arnold Hill, department of industrial relations, National Urban League, has addressed an open letter to William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, denouncing that body for its attitude to Negro labor. Mr. Hill says in part: "When has the American Federation of Labor campaigned among its white members for its ideal of fair play reiterated in frequent resolutions? It has permitted the labor union movement to become infested with narrowness and bigotry while blaming Negroes for not joining its ranks. "When the Industrial Relations Department of the National Urban League was organized in 1925, immediately it undertook to establish friendly relations with your office. Once in that year and again the following year the writer appeared before the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor in an effort to remove the laxity of the Federation toward Negro workers."

Box 1390, Chicago, IL CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS FUTURE OF NEGRO LABOR Meetings To Be Held Under Auspices of the Porters' Union --- CHICAGO, Ill.-A National Negro Labor Conference will be held here on January 26-31, under the auspices of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters . Negro labor is the foundation of the welfare of all groups of the race, religious, professional, fraternal and otherwise, who compose over 90 per cent of the race. Such questions as what is the destiny of the Negro worker in this new industrial era? What is the best program for him to follow in order to protect and advance his economic interest? will be discussed along with racial discriminations, unemployment, and the attendant social problems which constitute the basic obstacles in the path of progress. The conference has been called for the purpose of discussing the facts and the initiating an intelligent and constructive program for the organization of the Negro workers, behind which all agencies interested in this group can be solidified. This conference has been endorsed by President William Green of the A. F. of L., and is being sponsored by a committee of a hundred Chicago citizens, of which Charles W. Burton is the chairman. There is to be a public meeting Sunday afternoon, January 26, at the Metropolitan Community Church, 4100 South Parkway, and the regular sessions will be held at Brotherhood Headquarters, 4231 Michigan avenue. Speakers on every phase of the subject will address the conference. Pertussin For Coughs CONSTANT coughing uses up energy more quickly than strenuous exercise.

Mooney Heads Work Sponsored By Presbyterians NEW ORLEANS, La., Jan.—An important colored social and community center is to be established here shortly by the Presbytery of New Orleans, and Rev. Urban D. Mooney, for sixteen years pastor of the city's leading Southern Presbyterian churches, has resigned his pastorate and accepted a call to head the new enterprise. The work will be under the direction of a committee of prominent preachers and laymen, and in general will follow the lines of the noted Presbyterian Colored Mission in Louisville, Kentucky, which has been so remarkably successful under the administration of Rev. John Little. Dr. Mooney's resignation will take effect on February 1 and he will immediately begin the active promotion of the new enterprise, which will require not only the working out of detailed plans, but also the raising of funds necessary to provide the plant. The amount needed for this purpose has been apportioned among the Presbyterian churches of New Orleans and no trouble is anticipated in raising the funds. In view of the fact that New Orleans has a colored population of 125,000, it is believed there is an excellent field here for this line of endeavor. Vespers at Metropolitan Baptist Church The New Movement Bible Class of Metropolitan Baptist Church, Twelfth and R streets, northwest, will conduct vesper services on Sunday evening, February 16, at 4 p.m. The class is under the leadership of Miss J.

Lynn, May NEW VIRGINIA BILL DEFINES WHO IS A NEGRO RICHMOND, Va.-A new jim crow bill was introduced in the senate here today and is called "racial integrity bill." It is sponsored by State Senators Ball, Buchanan, Easley, Layman, Warren, Morris, Jeffreys, and Holliday. It defines any person with a drop of Negro blood as "a colored person." The racial integrity act passed by the last legislature was supposed to include this provision, but the recent upsetting of the Richmond block segregation bill passed by the Richmond City Council, uncovered the weak spot and the new bill was introduced to prevent the law from being invaded. It follows: "Be it enacted by the General! Assembly of Virginia that any person in whom there is ascertainable any Negro blood shall be deemed to be a colored person." The measure was referred to the committee on general laws. Classified Ads DETECTIVES—Travel, make secret investigations. Experience unnecessary.

Dr. M. O. Dumas, member of the board of trustees, acted as presiding officer. Prayer was by Dr. D. E. Wiseman of the class of 1884, minister of the Our Redeemer Lutheran Church of Washington. Prof. Albert I. Cassell, university architect, made a statement concerning the renovation of the building, after which it was formally presented to the department by President Mordecai W. Johnson, and accepted by Dean D. Butler Pratt. Dr. Acquila Sayles, president of the Theological alumni association, greeted the assemblage on behalf of the alumni, and A. L. Criglar, a senior, on behalf of the student body. Following the exercises refreshments were served. The building was open for inspection from 3 to 5 p.m. Non-Federal The School of Religion is the original part of the university and is the only department not aided by appropriations of the Federal Government. For fifty-nine years it has been quartered in four rooms on the third floor of the main building, with inadequate facilities for its work as a distinct department. The School of Religion offers two degrees, one B.Th., for which the entrance requirement is the completion of an accredited high school course, and B.D., which has as a prerequisite, a college degree or its equivalent. During the present school year six additions have been made to the School of Religion faculty. Enrollment for the winter quarter shows an increase over the number of students who registered in the fall. Dr. D. Butler Pratt is dean of the school, with Rev. Jas. L. Pinn acting as director of the extension department. McKinney. The 2nd and 3rd floors were occupied by Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Hall, who rented a part of their seven rooms to the Colton family. The fourth was unoccupied. The building was recently remodeled, painted and papered throughout, and hot water heat was installed at a cost of $4,500. A large hole was burnt in the roof over the rear room of the fourth floor. Fire had dropped to the floor and burned a hole through the floor and ceiling over the bed where the baby was sleeping. Water soaked and damaged nearly every room, with the furniture, walls and ceilings. Thos. H. R. Clark stated that it would be repaired at once and put back in first-class condition. (Continued from page 1) Expert Says Miss Fitzhugh Has a Form of Insanity No. 1. The defense witnesses will be heard Monday morning. Rebuttal testimony by both sides will follow. The case will not be given to the jury before Tuesday, it is thought. Ten men and two women, all white, compose the jury. Attorney Austin F. Canfield, of the law firm of Lambert & Yeatman, is representing Miss Fitzhugh. Attorney Charles H. Houston, of the law firm of Houston & Houston, is defending Dr. and Mrs. Curtis. Dr. Richard E. Banks Comes From Detroit To Testify In Case Dr. Richard E. Banks, former intrege of Freedmen's Hospital, who is now a practicing physician in Detroit, Mich., testified for the defense, Tuesday. Dr. Banks was an intere at Freedmen's from July 1, 1927 to June 30, 1928, and was on the ambulance and attended to emergency cases. He stated that he went with the ambulance to Joe Murray's cigar store in the 1700 block of U street, northwest, on July 6, and found Miss Fitzhugh there. He made an examination of her, he said. "I didn't find any bruises about her," he testified, "and I came to the conclusion that the patient was hysterical." After taking Miss Fitzhugh to Freedmen's hospital, the police called for her on a warrant charging. He persuaded the police to let him take her to the Eighth Precinct police station. Dr. William A. Warfield, superintendent of Fredemens's Hospital, testified that Miss Fitzhugh came to him in the summer of 1927 and "complained of being mistreated by Dr. Curtis, and she thought the treatment was such as to warrant his dismissal from the staff." Miss Fitzhugh Tells Her Story on Stand Testimony of Miss Eva Fizthugh, the "tea room girl," of 1816 S street, northwest, was the high light, Monday, in the first day's proceedings in her suits against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and his wife, IN DAMAGE SUIT DR. ARTHUR L. CURTIS, prominent physician, who was sued by Miss Eva Fitzhugh or $10,000 damages. Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis, of 1717 U street, northwest, before Justice Frederick L. Siddons, in circuit court No. 1, of the District Supreme Court. In her testimony Miss Fitzhugh stated that she first met Dr. Curtis in the year 1921, when she went to him for professional treatment. She again went to see Dr. Curtis for professional treatment for nervous indigestion in 1926. After diagnosing her case, she says, he recommended intimacies with himself. After three weeks of persuasion, she stated, she submitted. She submitted, a second time, she testified, and two weeks later she found herself in a delicate state. An operation was attempted at his office, she says, but she could not stand it and jumped off the operating table and went home. Later she was taken to a hospital, where she alleges the operation was performed. She remained there three weeks, she said, and after her discharge from the hospital Dr. Curtis visited her at her home daily for a period of twenty weeks. Sends for Her On May 8, 1927, she declared, Dr. Curtis telephoned her at her home and asked who was there. She told him, she said that only the usual crowd was there, meaning roomers. He suggested that she come to his office to adjust matters, she stated. She told him, she said, that her automobile was being repaired and that she had no way of getting there. He sent a taxicab for her, she stated, and she went to his office. When she went in she found Mrs. Curtis there, she stated. She suggested, he said, that Mrs. Curtis be informed of the whole affair, Mrs. Curtis jumped up and slapped her, she said. Dr. Curtis grabbed her and pinioned her arms, she stated, and Mrs. Curtis continued to beat her. Dr. Curtis, she testified, also kicked her. Again, she claims, on July 7, 1927. Dr. Curtis struck, beat, kicked, and ill-treated her. She Forgets Things Miss Fitzhugh, under cross examination, suffered a lapse of memory. She could not recall anything that might prove damaging to her case. She could not remember having screamed on the steps leading into Dr. Curtis' offices. She could not remember having had interviews with newspaper reporters. She did not know Louis R. Lautier, a newspaper correspondent. She could not recall William O. Walker, managing editor of the Washington Tribune. She knew Samuel Lacy, a notary public, before whom she made an affidavit concerning her alleged relations with Dr. Curtis, but did not know his business. Mrs. Ella D. Howard, who lives next door to Dr. Curtis' offices at 1715 U street, testified that she heard screams and saw a woman on the porch of Dr. Curtis' offices. She went out and asked the woman what was wrong, she stated, and was told that Dr. Curtis had beat her. Dr. Curtis came to the door adjusting his cuffs, she stated, and said, "Yes, I struck you." Dr. Curtis Tells His Side Taking the stand in his own behalf, Dr. Curtis stated that he first had professional connections with Miss Eva Fitzhugh in 1921 when she had an injury to her hand. He treated her about a week. Had Complaint Again in the last part of 1925 and the first part of 1926 when he called to see her she had an abdominal complaint, he said. With that abdominal complaint she gave a history of a previous operation of nine or ten years back, he stated. She exhibited an abdominal scar and "a smaller scar that indicates in a definite way to a surgeon a drainage," he said. "About the middle of June, 1926, after several prescriptions and two or three office treatments, I advised her that there would be no further need of further office treatment or medicine if she were to get well. I felt that a surgical operation was the necessary thing that would rid her of her complaint. Agreed to Operation "She insisted that she did not want to give un her work at that time, and she did not want an operation. I insisted there was nothing further I could do." About the middle of July she sent for him again, Dr. Curtis testified. She told him her condition was the same, he said, and he again advised an operation. She told him she would think it over. Later in July she agreed to the operation. "The operation was to be a medical adjustment with certain, surgical procedures," Dr. Curtis stated. "but not a cutting operation." She paid $100 for the operation and a ten-day stay at the hospital, the said. Two or three days later she continued to complain of first one thing, then another. CO-DEFENDANT IN SUIT Mrs. Helen Curtis, wife of D was a co-defendant in the damage 1970 Mrs. Helen Curtis, wife of Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, Mrs. Curtis was a co-defendant in the damage suit brought by Miss Eva Fitzhugh. Wanted Money Back About the fifth day, Dr. Curtis testified, Miss Fitzhugh left the hospital. She came to his office in October, he said, and insisted that she be paid the $100 that she had paid for the operation. He refused. About three or four days later, he stated, she telephoned him and insisted that he come to see her, that she was quite sick. He found her not sick, he said, but she again insisted upon the return of her $100. She insisted she had been made pregnant by me. In the presence of my wife she made that statement." Started Fight The demand for $780 kept up for several minutes, Dr. Curtis said, and finally Miss Fitzhugh said in a very angry mood. "I am going to be paid $780 and be paid now or I'm going to know why." She jumped from the chair she was sitting in, he stated, and upon the desk were several articles like paper weights and penholds, and Demanded $700 Demanded $700 She telephoned him again in late February, he stated, annoying him for $100. The last week in February, he said, she came to his office, told him she had gotten worse, her business had been ruined and demanded $700 for the loss of time from her work and monies she had paid individuals to continue her work and for the expense to which she had been put. Wanted to See his Wife A week or two later she took to calling his home and insisting upon talking with him or his wife, he stated. His wife was not in town. About March 20, she came back to his office, he said, and threatened to have his license taken away by the commissioners unless he gave her $700. She told him, he said, "I am going to tell everybody I see that I was pregnant and that you produced this abortion upon me," and "unless you pay me $700 I am going to punish you just as far as I can." He told her, he said, "to go to any extreme she wanted to." When Miss Fitzhugh came into his office, his wife was seated in the nurse's room. "I said," Dr. Curtis testified 'Miss Fitzhugh, this is my wife,' and she looked up and said, 'Why you're the very one I want to see,' and my wife said, 'Very Well; after you see the Doctor, why I will see you,' and she said, 'No.' I will see you now.' Sore She Wore Reined Says She Was Ruined "Miss Fitzhugh immediately launched into the story that I have just repeated to you—that she had been very anxious to see my wife, that she did not know how near to being ruined I was; that I had ruined her life; that I had performed an operation upon her which was criminal, and that unless she was paid $780 on the spot, why she was going to do everything she could to ruin me. "My wife insisted she was not going to pay anything, nor was I; and she said, 'Very well, if you don't pay I am going to spread a story that will ruin him terribly.'

Started Fight The demand for $780 kept up for several minutes, Dr. Curtis said, and finally Miss Fitzhugh said in a very angry mood. "I am going to be paid $780 and be paid now or I'm going to know why." She jumped from the chair she was sitting in, he stated, and upon the desk were several articles like paper weights and penholders, and she grabbed a paper weight. "When she grabbed the paper weight," he said, "she jumped at me. I jumped to shield my glasses, and my wife grabbed her. I took my glasses off and ran between the two of them. I separated them. In the separation Miss Fitzhugh's coat was torn." Started Screaming Started Screaming July 7 she was back to his office, he said. She went into his consultation room and started knocking right and left every object that she saw, he stated, and started screaming. She insisted, he said, she had been beaten in the back office, she ran from a chair out into a hall and back and forth. Finally she slumped in the chair and insisted that if he would let her go she would be quiet and there would be nothing more said, he testified. He told her he said, it was perfectly all right to go. She ran out of the door, he said, and sat down on the stoop and started screaming at the top of her voice until a crowd of people had collected. She walked directly across the street to his automobile, he stated, and tore the vanity case of the car. She attempted to raise the hood of his car. Two men restrained her, he said. She walked back across the street into Joe Murray's cigar store. Called Police While she was is his office, he had his nurse call the police. He told the police a warrant had been issued that morning for Miss Fitzhugh for threats. He did not see her any more until there was a hearing in police court.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS PURE FOOD IN THE HOME disorders. However, fresh pork is only one of the many forms of pork on the market. There is bacon, salted or cured, sausage in bulk or in links, hams and shoulders having innumerable flavors, sauce, head cheese, liver, loaf and pickled pork. Pork contains a higher per cent of fat than other meats which gives it the quality of "staying with you." This makes it a more suitable dish for cold weather. Moreover, fresh pork is freshest then since the killing season is at its height in the late fall and during the winter months. Ham is the pork aristocrat. Baked Virginia ham is unsurpassed, and no one would refuse broiled ham or ham en casserole. Then, too, what could be more intriguing than a dish of spring greens or string beans that have been cooked with a remnant of ham bone. The popularity of pork is due chiefly to its flavor. It blends well with numerous other foods and is especially delightful with tart relishes, apples and sweet potatoes. Often pork carries the flavor of the meal. What zest a few slices of ham or breakfast bacon lends to the commonplace dish of eggs. How delicious the flavor of apples when cooked with slices of bacon. How popular would griddle cakes be without the aromatic sausage as an accompaniment? For the sake "S'no" man at all!

ALWAYS AT THEIR BEST WHEN SERVED WITH The number of our readers learning of the "JOY" that comes from using Real ALAGA Cane Syrup with Hot Cakes and Hot Biscuitis 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 93 L. St. N.W. J.

It is only once in a lifetime that such opportunities are offered. Here is a going concern with an established trade offering positions to our own men and women and giving you the chance to share in the profits of your production. The offer proposes to sell one half interest in this store and then place colored men, as managers of departments with a full personnel of colored clerks under them, the present owners to retain their managers long enough to train their colored proteges until they can assume full control. The employment situation here is becoming more and more discouraging. We must begin seriously to provide employment by ourselves. With 127,600 Negroes here, there is no reason, save the failure to start in business, why we should not be able to conduct any number of profitable commercial enterprises. This plan presents the opening wedge. Shall we take advantage of it and place more than an hundred of our young men and women in gainful employment or shall we continue to sit idly by and permit "lady luck" to pass us by and leave us holding our hands, with a wish bone for a back bone? Investigate the proposition. It will bear investigation. But do not procrastinate. Get busy on it and put the deal across. Launch a big department store that will be the nucleus of a big and broad expansion for the Negroes of Washington and an example to those sluggards in other large cities.

I haven't been sending anything to be published in the paper as I have intended to do. Today I am sending a poem called "The Devil Goes To Church." The devil went to church, one day, and as he strolled along, He planned how he could execute some deeds of sin and wrong. He did not stop down by the door, like most outsiders would; But went as near as he could get to where the preacher stood. He heard him read in earnest tones, wore a bracelet, the Holy Book. He heard him read in earnest tones, words from the Holy Book, The devil turned and hurled at him an ugly, angry look. He heard him read in earnest tones the curse of wrong and sin. And strive to bring the straying flock back to the fold again. He heard him tell in wisdom's words, salvation's wondrous plan. The devil frowned and bit his lip, and said, "I hate that man. I've done my best by day and night to lead his flock astray. He'll undo everything I've done, If things go no this way." So down the aisle he made his way to see what he could do Along the line of starting things and making trouble brew: and making trouble brew; He saw two girls down near the door, with faces sweet and fair. With heads bowed low, as if they were in earnest, silent prayer. Straight to those girls the devil went and said, "Look at that hat That Sister Mollie Gray has on, and Easter Day at that." Then up from thoughts of prayer and praise, two pair of rougish eyes Went straight to Sister Mollie's hat, in mischievous surprise. And then they lowered their head again, and laughed and giggled till the deacon had to go to them, and ask them to be still. He left the girls and took a seat by Sister Mary Wood; He knew she'd much prefer to hear the bad instead of good. He whispered something in her ear and then she turned her head. And whispered to the deacon's wife, I don't know what she said, But instead the deacon's wife replied, "Oh dear, Oh dear. If that is true, then I'll not pay another penny here." The devil grinned and went his way, his joy too deep to tell, And as he went, he murmured low, "That worked out pretty well." And then he went to brother Green he'd seen him yawn and gap, He said, "Just lean your head on me and take a little nap." He gently rocked him to and fro down dreamland's pathway steep. And sang him impish lullabies till he was fast asleep. He saw a small boy passing by on some dire mischief bent; Then down the aisle and through the door, a wireless was sent. It read like this: "Peep in the door and see the deacon there. He'll kneel down in a minute to make a silly prayer; Just keep an eye, and when he does, you throw a stone and run, It won't be wrong, for every boy must have a little fun." And so it happened that a stone came buzzing thru the air. And made the poor old deacon jump, and yell out in despair. And now he marched up in the choir, where only peace belongs, Washington Tribune For Their Schoolmates Patterson Junior high school, You high weather slickers.

"Y" BOYS HAVE BIG TIME For five consecutive nights of the week of January 20, the "Y" boys enjoyed the pleasures of sleighing during Washington's snow storm. Included in these parties were "Puffy" Martin, big guard on the "Y's" junior basketball team. "Timmy" Childs, the star forward, "Renny" Logan, popular forward and captain; "Be Be" Logan, the midget captain; and "Buck" Covington. No matter what you are interested in, send us a letter so that other Tribunites may know what you are doing. Send reviews of the books you read. Some original poems by children. And sitting down crossed legged, he went to meddling with the songs. He whispered in a sister's ear: "That isn't fair a bit. Unless they sing the hymns I like, if I were you I'd quit." And then an angry, selfish look, shown in that sister's eyes, And made the organist look up, in sad and grave surprise. He made the tenors laugh and talk, till there was not a trace Of order in the choir stand—it bordered on disgrace; Then thru the aisles he slowly went, and looked at every one. To see if there was anything that he had left undone. The sermon being over now, the devil got his hat and said: "I wish I'd had more time, but 'twasn't bad at that." And that night as he went to bed, his imps all heard him say: "I'm tired as a man can be, but what a happy day." I hope all will enjoy this selected poem as much as I did. A Brentwood Tribune LETTER BOX PRAISEE HALLELUJAH 1320 R St., N.Y. Editor The Washington Tribune. Dear Sir: The article below is being contributed by me in reply to one appearing in last week's issue of your paper. Hope you can find space for it. In commenting on the picture Halleujah, some persons admit that instead of being pleased they were angered byb the presentation. Moving pictures are made for profit and the bigger the box of office receipts, the more successful the picture; since this is true, the producers must produce something that is interesting. Hallelujah was made primarily for white audiences and the white race is not enough interested in the progress of the Negro to pay their money to see the story of a Negro youth commanding a company of Dunbar cadets, winning the cup while his sweethearts from Armstrong sits in the grandstand with approving eyes; enters Howard University, graduates at the head of his class, discovers how high is up, is acclaimed the greatest scientist the world has ever known, then marry and live happily ever afterward. This type of picture showing this side of Negro life must be made by Negroes, and few persons except Negroes will pay to see such shows. Value is determined by comparison and upon comparing the scenes in Hallelujah with every day life in Washington or any other city, one can not fail to realize to a greater degree the progress made by the Negro in and around the cities. This word cities is used advisedly because in a large part of the rural districts and especially in the South there exist today the exact conditions shown in Hallelujah. Human beings get pleasure in comparing themselves with others and being able thereby to determine themselves superior to that other, that is why they enjoy the broken English of the comedian, and the backward plunge of Charlie Chaplin into the fish pond; they say sub-consciously "That is wrong I use better language than that fellow," or "Isn't he dumb? I never would have backed into that pool." The simulated ignorance of the comedian and the pretended mental lapse of Chaplin are amusing, because the onlooker feels his superiority and knows he would talk and act differently. Now on the other hand, whenever persons feel they are being ridiculed by such acting, it is an admission that the characterization is typical of themselves and mentally if not actually they are in the very strata of culture depicted. Hallelujah is very amusing and highly educational and by the super acting of some of the untrained participants it shows the unbounded possibilities for the Negro in the world of the cinema. Very truly yours, S. B. Doute'. A WORD ABOUT HALLELUJAH Dear Editor: I am a constant reader of The Washington Tribune, and I wish to say that I really enjoy this race paper. One article of last week's issue attracted my special attention. I refer to the article: "Bad Taste Left by Hallelujah." May I say a few words to the writer? In the first place I don't think the picture tried to show the "worst side" of the Negro. It portrayed the struggles of a Negro GRO GRAT We close the first mo Year and enter upon the 1930, with a strong feelin pression of appreciation to Thousand Depositors who made possible a year of gr in the bank's history.

Brown, President W. A. Bowie, Cashier Walter L. Carter, Assistant Cashier minister against temptations. The author of last week's article stated that "hot chillitts and sparribs" played an important role in the menu. This is a southern dish just as cotton is a southern plant. These contribute to the natural environment of a poor Negro. You wouldn't expect them to be eating "fillet of beef" or "quail on toast." The scene in which the Negro woman with eleven children presented herself for marriage was probably brought in just for comedy and shouldn't be taken too seriously. How many times have you seen girls of the other race taking the part of prostitutes? Do we hear any rumpus about it? Mr. G. L. M, have you ever attended a "camp meeting?" Daniel Haynes did not make a poor imitation of a country preacher. The person who says so has no knowledge of the "church in the wildwoods." We do not have to go to the south or to the country to see such scenes enacted, but wal. past some of our churches and you will hear screams, moans, groans and loud prayers similar to those heard in "Hallelujah." Nina Mae McKinney's portrayal of "Chick" carried with it a moral: "as ye live so shall ye die." We must remember that the Negro is just beginning his career on the screen. We should not blind ourselves to the good points in the picture. Remember, every picture has some bad points and most of them have some redeeming points. Let us think the picture over and gargle the bad taste from our mouths. Respectfully, Burlena Fortune, A Miner Normal Student. SEES NO REASON FOR BAD IMPRESIONS To the Editor of The Tribune: With reference to the motion picture, "Hallelujah," a drama of the southland by King Vidor, I fail to see why it should leave the bad impression as expressed by the person signed G. L. M. It is a typical southern drama. As I understand it, it was the expressed purpose of King Vidor to go into the southland and produce just such a picture. Had King Vidor gone into the southland, into the cottonfield, and taken a company of Harlem dancing girls with high heels, errine wraps and uttering New York's dialect, he would have disqualified himself as a great director of motion pictures and would also have misrepresented the picture. There could be only one leading lady whereas it applied to Nina Mae McKinney alone. We should not look for the dark spots in anything simply to magnify them. Apparently G. L. M. failed to see the outstanding qualities of a sympathetic mother's love and the forgiving nature of a father for a son who squandered the family's earnings of a year's toil and costing the life of his brother all through his own folly. His parents withstood their loss with serenity and assured him that he could yet rise and make good. Had he not fallen they could not have displayed such parental qualities. As true as he sang, there were thorns in his path, but in a little while there would be roses. So we all find it, but, be assured that we can rise from a fall if we try.

Proposed Law Would Abolish all State Laws On Marriage A uniform Federal law to regulate marriage and divorce in place of the 49 different state laws now on the statute books was proposed last Thursday by Senator Capper (Rep.) of Kansas, in a bill introduced by him in the Senate. He said: "Family life is threatened by the existence of varying laws on marriage and divorce. "A man and woman may be law-abiding citizens and their children legitimate in a community, and then move a few miles away into another community, and the man becomes a bigimist, the woman lives in adultery, and their children under the law have no right to bear the father's name." The bill would fix the minimum marriage age at 18 for boys and 16 for girls, by parental consent, and without such consent at 21 for boys and 18 for girls. Post Application It provides that the application must be made two weeks before issuance of the license and application be posted publicly. Marriage would be forbidden to the feeble-minded; those afflicted with epilepsy, insanity or communicable disease; or those within the first degree of blood relationship. Divorce would only be granted for adultery, cruel or inhuman treatment, abandonment or failure to provide, incurable insanity, or conviction of an infamous crime. The bill proposes to give the Federal Government jurisdiction over marriages and divorces, and it has the indorsement of many women's clubs and professional organizations.

Metropolitan 8401 Howard U.Basketeers Defeat Union And Hampton BISONS DEFEAT UNION-HAMPTON ON TRIP SOUTH RICHMOND, Va. — Before a crowd that flanked the sidelines and the ends of the court in Johnson's Hall, Friday night, the Howard Bisons defeated the Union Panthers with a score of 48-29. Howard took the lead with three field goals, one each by Beasley, Hall and Taylor, in the first few minutes of play. Union followed with a twin marker by Captain Ellis, former Armstrong High School star, and two free-throws by Washington. Howard then became master of the situation bombarding the basket with field goals by Taylor and Beasley. For a moment it looked as though the Bisons would have a walk away. At the half time the herd led by a score of 22-14. Immediately at the beginning of the second half, Howard scored eight points with Taylor as a thorn in the Panthers' flesh. Here Washington and Breaux, Union football stars, staged a desperate attempt to overcome the Bison lead and succeeded in ringing up nine points before Howard could score. Hall, Howard's flasy forward, was put out of the game because of personal fouls. Syphax came in and gave the Bisons a new lease on life. The visitors instituted a semi-freeze formation, controlling the ball for two minutes which so baffled the Panthers that the Bisons were able to sink several easy # MASKES IN III G F P Union G F P Hall.lf. 3 2 3 Ellis.lf. 5 0 0 Smith.lf. 1 2 Webb.lf. 5 0 0 Smith.rf. 0 Kesner.lf. 2 0 0 Syphax.rf. 1 0 Jenkins.lf. 0 0 0 Syphax.rf. 1 0 Jenkins.lf. 0 0 0 Bressley.c 6 1 2 Pasteur.c 3 0 2 Taylor.lg. 7 3 0 Breslux.lg. 0 0 4 Hill.lg. 7 3 0 Cotton.rg. 0 0 4 Harris.rg. 1 2 0 Wash.gton.rg. 1 3 3 Total 19 10 9 Total 12 5 18 Referee--Martin. Beats Hampton HAMPTON, Va.—The Bison herd from Howard University romped rough shod over the Sea Siders last Saturday afternoon with a score of 34-19. Hampton, last year's C.I.A.A. champions, after the elimination of Seminary, entered the game as favorites and with evident confidence. Two victories were registered against Howard last year, and a clean slate against Virginia State, Union, St. Paul, and A. & T., made it appear that the Bisons were in for another slaughter, but to the amazement of the crowd the Howard team flashed a form as brilliant as its new royal blue uniform. From the start they showed a determination to gain revenge for Hampton's previous victories. They entered the game with a dash that accounted for eight points before Hampton's offensive could get under way. The victory took Hampton out of first place and put Howard in a tie position with Virginia State. The two teams battling for the C.I.A.A. championship will meet at Petersburg on February 7, and in the Howard gymnasium February 27. Both games give promise of being the most strongly contested games in the C.I.A.A. series. **Howard** G F P Hampton G F P Hall.fi. 4 1 4 1 Alexander.laf. 3 3 1 Shelley.fi. 4 1 4 1 Alexander.laf. 3 3 1 Williams.fi. 3 1 1 1 Hunt.rf. 1 1 1 Smith.rf. 0 1 0 0 Cotton.rf. 0 1 1 Beasley.c. 2 0 3 0 Hunter.c. 0 0 1 Taylor.lg. 2 0 3 0 Williams. 0 0 1 Harris.rg. 1 2 1 1 McGowan.lg. 1 1 1 Taylor.rg. 1 2 1 1 Taylor.rg. 1 1 1 **Total** 15 4 12 Totals 6 7 11 Referee-Host.

Parker Is Star as Poets Lambast "Y" Basketeers The Dunbar basketball team set the Y.M.C.A. tossers on the rear of a 20 to 12 decision. Wednesday, in the court of the school gym. The sterling work of Parker, Poet center, was the high point of the fray. This young man tallied five baskets from the court and one free toss from the 15-foot line for a total of 11 points or more than half scored by his team. Jeffries, of the "Y", saved his team from a worse defeat by scoring three baskets or an even half of the points made by his meter.

MURDER OF SIKI IN HELL'S KITCHEN, PRIZE RING MYSTERY By GARLND MACKEY A writer in the Illustrated section of a magazine carried by several Negro papers gave a description of the death of Battling Siki which took place on December 15, four years ago. For the education of the writer this murder did not take place in Harlem at all, but in Hell's Kitchen and the fighter's body was found in Forty-first street about 100 yards east of Ninth avenue. Policeman Jonh J. Meechan, of the West Thirtieth Station found the body. Every murder of a Negro in New York does not take place in Harlem. Hell's Kitchen is DOWN and not UPTOWN. mor and the only really unmanager, him "papa papa." He him on the close His rig, and he war army duri gnight but was 1920 when they agasit fighters, as often not consid Siki got carved up only a few weeks before he was shot to death and he was not infrequently slugged or slugging someone else, so nobody was greatly surprised when his body was found on the sidewalk at four in the morning. That is, nobody in Heil's Kitchen was greatly surprised. It isn't in the cards that any man, even an ex-light heavyweight champion of the world can go on indefinitely ramming and jamming around parous neighborhoods, the his mood be childishly playful, which was Battling Siki's characteristic mood. Folks said he would "get it"—that he "couldn't miss it." So there was only the shrugging of shoulders when the news went around Hell's Kitchen that Battling Siki had "got it." Two bullets in the back did the business, and the singular Senegalese, the strangest character the prize ring has known in many years passed out over the same trail traveled to Kingdom Come by big Bill Brennan, the Chicago heavyweight, and before him the great Stanley Ketchel, middleweight champion of the world. The trouble was, few people understood Battling Siki. That was they didn't understand him, especially in Hell's Kitchen, where any man not indigenous to that region is apt to be misunderstood. And Battling Siki took a lot of understanding, with his French accent, and his curious ideas of hu- Fistic followers and lovers of the manly art of self-defense will hail with delight a bill introduced in the House Monday by Representative Fred H. Hartley, Jr., (Republican) of New Jersey. The bill provides for amateur boxing in the District and plans are on foot to introduce a bill to legalize professional boxing here. The amateur measure calls for suitable prizes or medals not exceeding $35 for contestants, and an admission fee of not more than $2 charged. Bouts would be limited to four rounds of two minutes each and only clubs and organizations of recognized standing would be permitted to hold boxing contests. CHRISTIAN COLLEGE BEATEN RALEIGH, N.C.—Smarting under the effect of two defeats by a single point the Blue Whirlwinds of Coach Armstrong, Washington High, snarled and shook off the jinx that has followed it in its opening games of the season and defeated the fast Christian College team by a score of 33-11. KNOXVILLE COPS A PAIR KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — In a whirlwind of dribbling and shooting, Knoxville cagers defeated Talladega cagers in two basketball games on the Alumni gymnasium court here January 24 and 25. The victories were decisive with scores of 30-19 and 53-44. WILEY WALLOPS TEXAS MARSHALL, Tex.—With Parks and Combs playig a steady game at guard and with Texas College in general playing a slow game at guard, the Wiley Wildcats were able to take in the Steers, score 28 to 20, here Friday, evening. BROWN BEATS SILVERBERG HAVANA, Cuba. — Al Brown, called the world's bantamweight by all except the National Boxing Association who recently took his world honors away and substituted American champion, defeated Pinky Silverberg, of New York, in a 10-round bout here Saturday night. LOOKING FOR FIGHTS Kid Brown, Chester, Pa., middleweight, arrived in Washington this week and is seeking fight engagements here or in Baltimore. The Kid has a creditable knockout record and is planning to cast his lot with the Baltimore bruisers.

Lane's Ride, St. Marys, Kan. mor and a good time. Probably the only man in the country who really understood Siki was his manager, Bob Levy. Siki called him "papa," and Siki loved "papa." He generally tried to kiss him on top of his bald head at the close of a pugilistic battle. His right name was Louis Phal and he was a soldier in the French army during the Big war. He began fighting while in the army, but was first heard of along about 1920 when he began winning battles against fairly well known fighters. However, he won about as often as he lost, and he was not considered anything more than a setup for Georges Carpentier, then light heavyweight champion of the world, when he was matched with the gorgeous one in 1922. Siki's real name was Louis Phal lose quickly to Carpentier as the latter did mighty little training. I have heard Siki tell how Carpentier kept talking to him during the bout, telling him to lie down, but Siki would only laugh, and say, "Wait." In the sixth Carpentier succumbed. As the light heavyweight champion of the world, Siki attracted more attention out of the ring for his eccentricities than for his exploits within the roped arena. He was often in the news for being hurled from some cafe, or for lugging a pet leopard around with him or for riding all day in a cab and then beating the driver for asking for his fare. He liked to make taxi men toss coins to see who would pay the bill and get peeved and fight if the driver failed to see the sport. He came to New York in 1925 and astonished Harlem by appearing in a full dress suit, tall hat, an opera cape, a monocle and tan shoes. He loved tqn shoes. He had a wife in France, a Holland girl, but he left her behind. Siki's career was ended in Hell's Kitchen, the hangout of sailors and men from the four corners of the earth, and not in Harlem as these embryo writers would have you believe. Howard-Morgan to Meet In New York On February 12 Howard University and Morgan College will meet in their second game of the season in New York on February 12. The tilt will be played in the Rockland Palace, 155th street and Eighth avenue. The game is being promoted by the New York Alumni club which has been organized to promote the general welfare of Howard. A bridge and cabaret party has been conducted by the club this season for the benefit of Howard. Dr. C. B. Powell, X-ray expert, is chairman of the basketball com mittee. WILBERFORCE PLANS SOUTHERN INVASION WILBERFORCE, Ohio—Coach Graves with fifteen members of his Wilberforce University basketball squad will start January 30, for fourteen-day invasion of the Southland. A total of nine games will be played with the best that the South offers in collegiate competition. The Wilberforce quintet dropped its second game of the season Friday night in Beacom Gym to the Shamrock A.C., a white aggregation from Dayton, O., 35 to 25. System Filled With Poison as a result of CONSTIPATION Mr. R. J. Black, of Kelton, S. C., says: "I could not eat and my rest at night was disturbed. I was troubled with the effects of gas pains, and I hardly had a comfortable day. I was nervous and worried. All I could do was to complain. I tried several things but I could get no relief. All my ailments were the result of chronic constipation which caused my system to become filled with poison. "One day a friend suggested that I try Black-Draught. I began taking it right off. I continued the medicine for several weeks and since then I have felt fine. I am in better health now than I have been in years. "Black-Draught is a splendid remedy for constipation." Thousands of others say the same. Try it. 25 cents a package. BLACK-DRAUGHT For Constipation A little arithmetic will save you money FROM a mass of claims and counter-claims, one fact stands out—AMOCO-GAS gives more miles per gallon—least cost per mile. This is proved every day by hundreds of truck-fleet operators who must know to a penny their cost per mile—and by thousands of motorists who want low operating costs and better performance, too. Prove it to yourself by figuring your own cost per mile. Note how many more miles you get to each gallon—how this extra mileage cuts down your cost per mile. Over a period of time, notice your reduction in repair bills and generally reduced operating costs. Put it up to AMOCO-GAS, your motor and a lead pencil. A little old-fashioned arithmetic will save you money. When you come to AMOCO-GAS and the lowest cost per mile, you'll come to better all-around performance, too. The AMERICAN OIL COMPANY Affiliated with Pueblo American Products & Tampons Company General Office: Boulder, Md. AMOCO-GAS Low cost per mile is what counts To Invade Philly THE BOXING CLUB SPEEDY DIXON, clever Washington welter, who is following in the footsteps of his famous cousin, the late George Dixon. Speedy has a bout scheduled in Philadelphia and will leave soon to keep an appointment in the Quaker town. Howard vs. Lincoln Howard University and Lincoln will meet here in a basketball game on next Wednesday, February 5, in the court of the Howard gymnasium. The following day the Lincoln quint will play the Lichtman Theatre Five. The Lichtman Actors are dickering with the Renaissance, of New York, for a return game here on February 20. Cardozo High Player Shoots Wrong Basket Phelps Vocational basketball team defeated Cardozo business high by a 13 to 10 score Friday and it was due largely to Charlie Evans, Cardozo forward that his team lost the game. In the heat of the battle Evans received the tap-off and without thinking, shot the ball thru the Phelps basket. However, Phelps would have won by one point, but the basket by Evans gave the Vocational lads two extra markers. Two Washington Fighters On Baltimore Fistic Card Two Washington boys will show their fistic wares in the roped arena on February 4, at the New Albert when Johnny Crutchfield, of this city, meets Young Wildcat, of Baltimore, in six rounds and Billy Carter and Knockout Dillard, of eight round route. Both local boys will have stiff Baltimore, toss gloves over the opposition as the Baltimore battlers are famed for hard hitting and ring generalship. Carter and Crutchfield have been going great guns lately and have a string of kayo records to their credits. Black Bill, the Cuban bantamweight sensation, will hold the spot position on the all star card with a worthy opponent. Edwards Beats Swiss Ace BOSTON.—Phil Edwards, running his last race for New York University was nosed out in the 1,000 yard run here Saturday by Russell Chapman, of Bates College.

Gus Moore, of the Brooklyn Harriers, was beaten to the tape by five yards by Ray Conger, of the Illinois A.C., in the K. of C. invitation mile run. St. Paul, 27; A. & T., 12 LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—After three consecutive defeats away from home last week, Coach Hubert Taylor's flashy cage team came back to defeat their first C.I.A.A. opponents by a 27 to 12 count. The Lawrenceville lads soon found their loop and without the least bit of hesitation they began to drop field goals from every angle of the floor. SEVEN DUNBAR WALLOPS DOUGLASS,26-21 Coming from behind a 17 to 8 score at half time the Poets of Dunbar started a barrage at the basket in the second stanza to beat Douglass High, of Baltimore, in Baltimore, last Friday, by a final score of 26 to 21. It was largely through the brilliant performance of Captain Matthews, of Dunbar, that carried his team to victory. Matthews scored a total of five field goals and four foul shots. His work for the evening added 14 points to his team's score. Dyson, of Douglass, was the star for his team. He looped three doubledeckers from the floor and two tallies from the foul line for a total of eight points. Dunbar and Armstrong are now tied in conference games, each having won one game without a defeat.

On last Friday the Pleasant Plains A.C. fell before the Armstrong tossers by a 29 to 27 count and on Monday of this week the strong Manchester quint bowed to the school lads, 38-31.

BOYS WERE NOT HUNTING "PANTHER" Little 7-year-old Gerson Perry, who was accidentally shot by his brother, Earl Perry, 9, at their home, 713 Irving street, northwest, Tuesday evening, was not hunting Washington's ghost "panther." The mother of the boys said they were playing with their father's revolver when Gerson was shot by his brother. The mother said the boys knew nothing of the District's "pet panther hunt." The younger boy is in Freedmen's Hospital in a serious condition with a bullet wound through his body, just above the heart. This city's "pet panther" has kept a part of the police force and citizens of the northeast section on the jump for several weeks. Many have seen it, a few had a shot at it, and all believe the strange beast which destroyed a dog and a hog, to be some sort of a wild "varmi." The "panther" is being tracked day and night by woodmen, gangmen, gunmen, and plain huntsmen, but so far the animal has eluded the best sportsmen the city can produce. Little Gerson knew nothing of the wild animal hunt, according to his parents. It was just a case of an "unloaded" gun with them. It made a dandy toy. Animals are not in their line. "Injuns" have a more alluring appeal. To take a gun and go out in the wilds of Georgia avenue and battle with howling redskins was the only life for these youngsters. If Redskins sought cover there were the "badmans" to be taken in. These "desperadoes" were running amuck in the neighborhood an done never knew when one of these plainesmen would come galloping in with two guns blazing away. The Perry brothers thought it best to be prepared for any emergency. Their father's loaded gun would enable them to "clean" up things. However little Earl forgot to turn the muzzie up or towards the ground while inspecting the pistol. As a result his kid brother is in a pretty serious condition and Freedmen's best medical skill is being mustered into service to save his life. DR. BOSTIC DIES SUDDENLY AFTER CLEANING SNOW Funeral to be Held From Lincoln Temple Sunday After clearing his sidewalk of snow, Thursday morning, Dr. John Allen Bostic, of 1323 R street, northwest, walked into the parlor of his home, sat down, and was later found dead. His funeral will be held Sunday afternoon from Lincoln Temple Congregational Church of which he was a member. Dr. Bostic was born in Memphis, Tenn., in 1860. After finishing the city schools he went to Hampton Institute and upon graduating there came to Washington, where he secured a clerkship in the pension office, from which he was retired in February, 1929. About ten years ago he took a course in chiropractic, from which he graduated and became a practitioner. He married Miss Mary Ellen Thomas, of this city, in 1883, from which union there are three children, who, with his widow, survive him. They are John Canfield and Thomas L.
