CANNOT WITHDRAW MARINES AT ONCE, SAYS HOOVER Haitian Commission May Be Named This Week Appointment of a commission to investigate conditions in Haiti and determine upon a policy to be followed by the United States with respect to that republic will be made within a week. President Hoover announced last Monday. While he has under consideration the appointment of this commission, selection of at least one colored person for membership on this commission has been urged upon him. Among those whose names have been mentioned are Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer of Howard University, and the Rt. Rev. B. P. Hurst, Bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Others are Dr. John R. Hawkins, banker and high churchman; W. H. C. Brown, banker and a member of President Coolidge's Virgin Islands commission, and James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. President's Statement The President's statement dealing with the Haitian situation was as follows: "Now that the Senate and House Mystery Shrouds Injury Mystery shrouded the strange injury of Wm. H. Allen, 31, of 36 G street, N.W., who came to Freedmen's Hospital, Saturday, February first, complaining of having been struck over the head with a black jack in front of 2480 Georgia avenue. He suffered a possible fracture of the skull and concussion. Allen still maintains he doesn't know who hit him or why. IN TWO SECTIONS SEE THAT YOU GET BOTH LOCK OF HAIR AND MISSIVES FIGURE IN POLICE RAID "Life Threatened" Says Miss Blackwell; Jealous Says William Wells A lock of hair and letters that could not be read in open court played an important part in the trial of William "Long Shot" Wells, local race horseman, when he was arraigned on charges of threatening the life of Miss Susie Blackwell, U. street realtor, in police court, Tuesday. Miss Blackwell accused Wells of breaking into her office and removing certain papers, records and money and threatening to take her life. Wells was arrested by Number 8 Precinct officers Sunday when found with a woman by the name of Emma White. Miss Blackwell testified that she rented a suite to Wells at her apartment house at Eleventh and U streets, N.W. When she found women were being carried to the rooms she asked him to move. He refused and threatened her life and attempted to blackmail her. He demanded a sum of money which she refused to give him. After refusing to move she stated that she informed police who broke open the door and found Wells and the woman in bed. On February 1 he threatened her life. Miss Blackwell said. Miss Blackwell said she became frightened when he cursed and swore to kill her if she refused to give him a sum of money. Several letters were presented in court by Attorney Armond Scott, who appeared for Wells, which Miss Blackwell had placed under her tenant's door. One was for a receipt for room rent and the other stated "she was not afraid of him." Miss Blackwell explained that she meant that she was not afraid of being blackmailed and would have the man arrested. Were Once Friends The lock of hair was cut from the head of Miss Blackwell by Wells, who said at one time they were friends. Wells said Miss Blackwell did not object when the lock was clipped from her head. The hair is carried by "Long Shot Red" in his inside coat pocket next to his heart. Smutty notes are sent to other tenants in the house, said Wells. Although Miss Blackwell claimed someone broke into her office, de- (Continued on page 2) Couple Married 60 Years CHICAGO, Ill.-Robert A. Porter and Mrs. Lettie R. Porter, 80 and 76 years respectively, who, for three score years have lived together in matrimonial bliss, celebrated on the 16th the 60th milestone of their marriage by entertaining 25 of their friends with a dinner party at the family home. Proving that their age has nothing to do with their ideas, the couple sat in easy chairs after the dinner and watched gleefully as the younger folk enjoyed themselves dancing. Both Mr. and Mrs. Porter are quite active. He is a janitor and during the recent bleak and blizzard days carried on his work in his usual manner. Mrs. Porter does much of her house work. The Porters are formerly of St. Louis, where they lived for 40 years. They have lived here 20 years. They are the parents of 12 children, nine of whom are living.

Taylor Quits Before Report Is Made Although the Greater Calvary Baptist Church was packed to the doors last Monday at the regular Baptist Ministers Conference the anticipated discussion on Sunday funerals failed to come up. Last week a committee was appointed to pass on Sunday funerals. The chairman, the Rev. W. A. Taylor, left before the report was called for this week and the discussions failed to materialize. Several ministers here have denounced Sunday funerals while many take the opposite view. Canon Anson Phelps Stokes, of the Washington Cathedral of the Episcopal Church, addressed the Baptist Ministers Conference, Monday, which met at Greater Calvary Baptist Church on W street, northwest. The canon spoke on race relations, telling of the work of the commission, of which he is chairman. He related the starting of the race relations movement by R. R.

Taylor, 17-year-old youth of Lane place, northeast, was shot-in the leg by an unknown "panther hunter," Monday night, near Wittingham place. Taylor told Eleventh Precinct officers he heard a cry, "There goes the panther," followed by a pistol shot. A stinging pain in his right leg followed the shot. Taylor was treated at Casualty Hospital for a bullet wound in the fleshy part of his right leg and later sent home. A dog of uncertain breed was near him the time he was shot, said Taylor.

Ware, proprietor of the recently-destroyed hotel at Highland Beach, Md., that he will rebuild his hostelry has caused a renewal of what has been described as the perennial "Siege of Highland Beach." The general public, as well as citizens of the beach colony, are awaiting with interest the resumption of hostilities, with its attendant jockeying for position, legal bushwhacking, verbal snifoing, and other types of guerilla warfare that kept agon the press of Washington, Baltimore, and Philadelphia durnig the summer dolrums. Legal Rumblings Heard By May 30th of this year, the date tentatively set by Ware for the completion of the new structure, the present random pot-shots are expected to reach the drumfire crescendo of a Western Front artillery barrage. Already, the rumbling of legal Big Berthas is heard in Annapolis, the county seat, where lawyers of other race continue to reap a rich harvest from the perpetual tribulations of exclusive society folk who summer community. For years the hotel operated by Ware has been the object of attack of the residents of the ultraexclusive society folk who sumer there on the ground that the hostelry catered to an undesirable group and brought the rank and (Continued on page 8) Wouldbe Suicide Saved Despondency, was the reason given to hospital authorities, Saturday, February 1, by Eleanor Richardson, 29, who swallowed a large quantity of the contents of a bottle of lysol.

Free Air Not So Free KEARNY, N. J.—The alleged free air of the north was found not to be so free after all by David Godey, who set this village in an uproar when he announced that he would erect his home here, last week. Only two Negro families have lived here since 1894 and there are none here at present. A homeowners organization has filed a protest with the zoning Commission. Go Without Food A Week In Flood Zone BLYTHEVILLE, Ark., (CNS)—Morethan 200 families have been without food or fuel for almost a week, due to th severe ice-covered flood in the dismal swamps of Northeastern Arkansas. Many of the farmers have either drowned or frozen to death. More than 200,000 acres of land are water-covered. Most of these farmers in this territory are poor farmers, who live in dilapidated shacks. They work in tiny rice clearings and eke out a miserable existence. DEATH INTERVENES TO CHEAT COURTS IN MURDER CASE Accused Member of Gang Who Killed Two Inforformers Succumbs Death intervened to cheat the courts of justice here Sunday night, when William Bradley, 35, who was scheduled to be brought to trial for the murder of two alleged police informers, succumbed to pneumonia in the District jail. The alleged slaying took place in a small alley between G and H. streets southwest, during what was termed at the time as a bootleg war. Walter Smith and Clarence Harvey, who were said to have informed the police of liquor violations perpetrated by Bradley and his gang, were shot to death on the street while police were on their way to arrest the murderers on the minor charges. Harvey died instantly from a number of bullet wounds in the head and body but Smith survived long enough to tell who the assailants were. His testimony taken on his deat hbd was expected by the government prosecutors to be instrumental in sending Bradley and his three alleged accomplices to the electric chair. The three who must now face trial are Thomas L. Brown, 19; Lawrence Dias, 26 of Fairmount Heigrts, Md.; and Theodore Smith, 24, of Annapolis, Md. The death of Bradley will very materially effect the case according to John H. Wilson, attorney for two of the accused men. A conference of prosecutors and defense attorneys was called by the Supreme Bench Monday, but the action taken at this time was not made public. Frank A. Byron Dead Mr. Frank A. Byron, 57, of 1410 Que street, N.W., a clerk to the committee of Naval affairs in the House of Representatives in Congress succumbed in Freedmen's Hospital, Thursday night, having been stricken suddenly, Wednesday, February 9th. BIGGER NOW 7 CENTS BETTER A. The Supreme Court of Mississippi dismissed the disbarment order against Dr. S.D. Redmond, attorney-at-law, and fully exonerated him of all charges preferred against him, in a decision handed down Monday, Dr. Redmond is chairman of the Mississippi Republican State Executive Committee and the only colored man holding a position in this country at this time. The supreme court upheld Redmond in all four of the specifications presented in his appeal, holding that there was not sufficient reason to disbar him for any or all of them. The entire case was reversed and Redmond dismissed with a "clean bill of health." N.J. MAN THROWS HAT IN RING FOR EXALTED RULER A surprise was created in Elk circles this week when Ernest L. DePaur, of Newark, N.J., announced his candidacy for Grand Exalted Ruler of the L.B.P.O. Elks of the world to oppose J. Finley Wilson, the present incumbent. In an announcement sent throughout the order this week Mr. DePaur carries the slogan "Eventually a change—why not now." Mr. DePaur was born in Union, S.C., educated in the public schools of South Carolina, and at Allen University. Served on the trustee board of said institution and helped to make the school one of the best in the Southland. He was very anxious to see service in Cuba in 1898, but the illness of his aged parent prevented his entering military service at that time. However, he later joined the 24th U. S. Infantry and served in the Philippines (Islands) and on the return of his regiment to America, he was transferred to To Be Retired After 44 Years As School Teacher After 44 years as a teacher in the public schools of Washington, Miss E. F. G. Merritt, 1630 Tenth street, northwest, will be retired at the end of the year. Miss Merritt graduated from the City Normal School in 1882, and began teaching in 1888. At present she is supervising principal of the Tenth and Eleventh Divisions. Resolutions were recently passed by the Parent-Teacher Association of the John F. Cook School commending Miss Merritt for her service to the community. MISS FITZHUGH GRANTED DAMAG FOR ASSAU Miss Fitzhugh Awarded Verdict After Sensa- tional Trial TO APPEAL CASE A motion for a new trial was entered by Charles H. Houston, Attorney for Dr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Curtis, when the jury returned a verdict for $5,350 on behalf of Miss Eva Fitzhugh, Tuesday. Official action will be taken today according to Mr. Hou- ston, who failed to divulge upon what grounds his ap- peal will be based. Both Miss Fitzhugh and her Attorney, Austin C. Camfield refused to make a statement. After deliberating nearly eight hours, the jury in the Curtis-Fitzhugh case late Tuesday evening returned a verdict awarding Miss Eva Fitzhugh, "the tea room girl" of 1816 S street, northwest, damages in the sum of $5,000 against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, and of $350 against his wife, Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis, of 1717 U street, northwest, for alleged assaults on May 8 and July 7, 1927. Miss Fitzhugh sued for a total of $30,000. She asked for $20,000 from Dr. Curtis for three assaults, two of which are said to have occurred on May 8 and the other on July 7, 1927. She asked for $10,-000 from Mrs. Curtis for the two assaults which she claimed occurred on May 8. Court Room Deserted Court Room. Deserted The jury returned its verdict at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. The (Continued on page 2) CHICAGO, (CNS)—With the thermometer registering eight below zero, suffering among the great mass of jobless workers is intense. The police stations are crowded by homeless unemployed. Charity organizations have been swamped with please for coal from families of workers who have no jobs. A large number of deaths from reezing, of men and women looking for jobs, were reported by the police. As usual the double oppressed Negro workers are the worst sufferers. CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., (CNS) —The attempt to frame Sam Bozeman on a charge of felonious assault on Arthur Swope, a white watchman at the Somerville Iron of the failure of the injured man Works, suffered a snag because to identify Bozeman as his assailant and a strong alibi presented by the defense. However, the attempt to frame this Negro is not abandoned. Bozeman is still held in jail, and the sheriff is busy hunting for some one willing to identify him as the assailant. PATIENTS AT CARSON'S Patients at Carson's Private Hospital this week are Mrs. Emma Murray, an employee in the Howard Library; Miss Isabelle Miller, 1939 Seventeenth street; Mrs. Jennie Snowden, 12 Quincy street, and Miss Lanier Price.

There are many reasons why cheese should be seen often on our tables. Its source is whole or skimmed milk depending on the type of cheese, and it contains much of the food value of milk. Cheese is a splendid substitute for meat since it is rich in protein and fat. It possesses the additional advantage of being very much less expensive than meat. Many people believe that cheese is difficult to digest. This is not true, when it has been properly prepared. Because of its high protein content, it should never be exposed to a high heat since high temperatures harden protein, thus making it indigestible. Another reason why cheese should be served often is that it lends a great deal of flavor to a menu. There are numerous kinds of cheese on the market, all having a different flavor. Hence, a great variety of cheese flavors may be used to prevent monotony in the diet. Cheese has a low carbohydrate content. For this reason, it goes well with starchy foods. We combine it with crackers or bread to make sandwiches, with macaroni or spaghetti, rice or potatoes to make casserole dishes. Cheese is a concentrated food, that is, it lacks'bulk. That is why it should be combined with bulky foods. Cheese and wafers make a splenoid salad accompaniment. The 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: salad provides the bulk which the cheese lacks and in turn the cheese lends flavor to the salad course. The flavor of American cheese is particularly delightful when combined with fruits. Pears or pine-apples with cheese are splendid combinations for salads, and the traditional apple pie with cheese is not to be condemned. Cream cheese and other soft cheese that is now on the market is splendid for sandwiches. Most attractive open face sandwiches are made by putting any kind of soft cheese through a pastry bag and tubes and forming borders or designs on a slice of bread. CREAMED OYSTERS WITH CHEESE 1 Cup macaroni or spaghetti 1 Cup oysters Cook spaghetti in boiling salted water. Drain and place in a baking dish which has been well greased. Put oysters on macaroni. Cover oysters with cheese sauce. Place buttered crumbs over the top and bake until brown at 400 degrees F.

PEPPERS WITH CHEESE STUFFING Wash six green peppers and cut a slice from the stem end. Remove seeds and fiber from outside. Parboil peppers and then fill with cheese stuffing. CHEESE STUFFING 1 Cup bread crumbs ½ cup cheese cut into small pieces 1 Tablespoon melted butter Salt to atate Combine crumbs with cheese. Then add butter and salt. Fill peppers with this mixture. CHEESE BISCUITS 1 Cup flour 2 Teaspoons baking powder/ ¼ Teaspoon salt ½ Cup milk 2 Tablespoons shortening ½ Cup cheese (grated) Sift dry ingredients together.

How Beef Is to be Cooked According to Cut BY LUCY M. ALEXANDER Associate Specialist in Foods, Bureau of Home Economics and Animal Industry, and EANNY WALKER YEATMAN. Junior Specialist in Foods, Bureau of Home Economics When the home maker goes to market to buy a piece of beef, she has to think of two things. She wants a cut that will fill the desired place in the menu and at the same time be consistent with the contents of her pocketbook. With the knowledge of the different cuts and how to cook them in order to bring out their best qualities, she can select an dserve appetizing meats to suit any family budget. Different cuts of beef from the same animal vary greatly in tenderness. The following list shows in general the tender and less tender cuts: Steaks — Sirloin, Porterhouse, Tenderloin, Club, Rib (short cut). Roasts—Rib, Loin. LESS TENDER CUTS Steaks—Chuck, Shoulder, Flank, Round, Rump. Roasts—Chuck Ribs, Cross Arm, Look for the Red Band BEARDWAY'S SHREDDED CODFISH 10 or 15 Minutes That's all the time it takes to prepare a delicious meal of Beardsley's Shredded Codfish.

Stews—Neck, Plate and Brisket, Flank, Shank, Heel or Round. For tender cuts the best method of cooking is to toear the meat at a high temperature for a short time until a brown coating is formed, then to reduce the temperature and finish the cooking at moderate heat. Do not cover the meat and do not add water. Meat cooked in this way loses little of the delicious flavor developed by browning, and the drippings can be poured over the meat or made into tasty gravy. Tender cuts are cooked until rare, medium, or well done, according to personal preference. A meat thermometer kept in the center of the roast during cooking removes the guesswork and makes it possible to get the exact stage desired. Beef is rare according to the meat thermometer between the temperatures of 130 and 150 degrees F., medium between 150 and 170 degrees F., and well done at about 180 degrees F.

Active in all matters of racial uplift. Served five years (as clerk) in the New Jersey Supreme Court. Elected a Justice of the Peace in 1924. Lay delegate to the General Conference, A.M.E.

He is known throughout the entire country due to his religious, political and fraternal activities. Mr. DePaur bases his candidacy on the following platform: "I am pledged to a tenure of office act, not to exceed three years. I pledge an administration free of politics, extravagance and waste, and if it be the will of the 1931 convention that I retire I will not empty your treasury to defeat your will. "I favor an immediate restoration of the sixty cents (60c) per capita tax for 1930-31, and a fifty cents (50c) per capita tax after August, 1931. "I favor the election of grand lodge officers for a term of two (2) years, and there be a provision made in the constitution that no officer be allowed to succeed himself. We have great wealth of men, fully capable of filling our offices—why deny them an opportunity for service?" "I favor a greater degree of freedom with a fuller measure of home rule for state associations, (but without impairment of the sovereignity of the grand lodge). State, bi-state and tri-state associations should be given power to levy taxes, subject to a referendum vote of the lodges making up said Associations and the grand lodge desists in hampering progressive Elks of progressive states in raising and spending their own (good) money for the good of Elkdom as they choose. "Ours is an age of freedom and progress, grand exalted rulers, craving to hold the pure strings of state associations with the aid of delegates from backward states (in grand lodge conventions) will very soon meet their "waterloo" should they continue to thwart the will of free people. Elks of any state, bi-states or tri-states should have whatever they want, and as long as they respect the ideal of Elkdom, and pay for what they want, they should bridge no outside interference, and in my opinion they will not suffer this interference much longer. "I favor state, bi-state or tri-state Shrines, a national shrine will in my opinion prove to be a "white elephant" on our hands. "I favor a re-organization of our educational system. Its ideals are lofty, but the rules governing the commission (as constituted) is indeed contrary to the best ideals of Elkdom. I believe this department of our order is one of charity, and true charity is to help the poor. We are educating children today whose parents are well-to-do (if not wealthy); few if any of our scholarships are held by orphans.

D'PRIEST SAYS BAR FOREIGNERS FOR 10-YEAR PERIOD Asks Preference For 4,000,000 Americans Out of Work Sitting in on the hearings before the House Committee on Immigration, Congressman Oscar DePriest of Illinois asked if there are not 4,000,000 unemployed men in this country at present, and if it would not be wise to employ the unemployed Americans instead of admitting hordes of Mexican laborers. He asked Mr. Fitzpatrick of the National Chamber of Commerce if it were not an economic question in the Southwest, and the farmers wanted the Mexicans because they worked for less than American laborers. Mr. Fitzpatrick tried to evade the answer by saying it would be impossible to ship 30,000 skilled employees from Detroit to Texas. Congressman DePriest said: "We are not discussing skilled labor but unskilled labor for the farms of the Southwest." Mr. Fitzpatrick made no reply. Address Labor Congress In addressing the recent National Negro Labor Congress in Chicago, Representative Oscar De Priest called attention to the unemployment situation in the United States. He demanded that the quota system for limiting immigration be extended to cover the entire Western Hemisphere. He emphasized the importance of placing a ten year ban on immigration. "Let our gates be closed," he said, "for at least ten years." Contin- that the system is wrong. "I make this criticism of our educational system without prejudice to the present commission. They are men and women of the highest type available. I would deem it an honor to serve with them as exalted ruler. uing, he said, "it is the worst folly imaginable and a gross oversight in the field of economics to be confronted with the spectacle of thousands of American laborers out of work and aliens permitted to hold jobs and set up an unfair, un-American competition." He said, "Through the American Federation of Labor our living standards have been place don a high level and this important accomplishment should not be endangered by the menace of cheap labor." Cheap Labor In a recent letter a labor official tells the story of a local invasion. It reads: "To give you an idea of the unemployment situation will mention the wage quoted yesterday by the contractors for two dams that were let last week. The two dams are to cost approximately six million dollars. The wage offered for unskilled labor is twenty cents per hour. Ten cents per hour lower than has been offered for the same kind of labor for more than twenty years." This is made possible by the menace of cheap labor! Hoardes of laborers are coming in from neighboring countries, some through-the regularly constituted United States government agents; others are illegally entering our country. Mr. DrPriest said, "Why should alien workers be permitted to come to this country and work in competition with American workers? And they are not subject to the military draft laws." American Kept Idle Representative DePriest said, "Immigration from these nearby countries should be placed on a quota basis. I was on the Pacific Coast not lon gago and saw aliens daily at work while native-born and naturalized Americans were walking the streets looking for a job." Congressman DePriest pointed to the wisdom of a law compelling every alien in this country who has not declared his intention to become an American citizen within a stated time, to pay an occupational tax to the government. He declared that every citizen should inform the members of Congress of their wishes on this significant matter. "Congress is here to serve the people and the people should express their views and wishes to their regularly constituted representatives." See the Stout-Slender Shop's ad. on page 5.

HOWARD U. BUDGET OVER 2 MILLION Evening Law School to Be Abolished Beginning With Fall Trustee Day was held at Howard University, Tuesday, with a semi-annual meeting of the board of trustees, a special student assembly in Andrew Rankin Chapel, and a faculty dinner in honor of the trustees last night in the university dining hall. The trustees were appraised of the fact that the university is now operating under a current act of $2,092,624. Many important measures were acted upon the meeting of the board. Included among these was the adoption of the quarter system for the College of Medicine, College of Dentistry, and the College of Pharmacy, for the purpose of integrating the School of Medicine with the graduate and undergraduate colleges. Action was taken to the effect that the future efforts will be concentrated upon the development of the day law school, and to this end for the time being, the evening school is to be abolished beginning with the fall of 1930.

TEAM WINS TWO GAMES LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Fa.— The Lincoln University Lions re- turned to their lair victors over two independent teams, namely the Rheims Post Five of Atlantic City, and the Philadelphia Command- eurs. The Lincoln-Rheims Post contest was a hair-raising affair, from start to finish with Lincoln emerging victorious by the score 1-25. Along with the lightning passes of both teams. it was in- Siresting to watch the jumping contest “Streter” Sydnor and “Longy” Saunders. ‘The Lincoln-Commandevr tussel ended by the tune of 29-13. This affair was a fairly good game but nothing like the Rheims Post-Lin coln game the night before. The Commandeurs bd recruited sucr stars as “Jeff” Cimnpbell and Clar- ence Hawkins, the former origi- nally with the old Panther team, ‘the latter, the Philly Scholastics. At least 10 set-ups were missed by members of both teams. “ At times the game was enlivened with dribbling spurts by “Jeff” Camp- bell, Burnett and Troy of the Com- mandeurs, elso Ridley and Smith of the Lions. GE) soe CHEEKS SCORES WINNING GOAL The Shiloh Five exhibited good form in beating the “Y” team by ‘a 28 to 19 count in the opening of the Y.M.C.A. league. Cheeks and Coles took scoring honors for the church quinte The “Y” Five got off to a four point lead in the early going of the game, but Shiloh stepped out in vigorous style to gain a good lead at the end of the half. The second half was fast, the “Y" fighting hard and playing a smoother game tied the score with # brilliant field goal by Jones. From this stage the lead con- stantly shifted with never more than two points seperating the teams until the last few seconds, when Shiloh put on the spurt that swept it to victory.

Diggs Stars It was the sterling play of little Diggs, West Virginia forward, and brilliant floor ace, who time and again snatched his mates from cer- tain defeat and carried the colors of the Mountaineers to the pinna- cle where they rested for a while only to be pulled down by a How- ard man as the score see-sawed with the decision in doubt as a “howling mob yelled in frenzy. | Diggs is a product of the Doug- jIass High school and a few years ago was a running mate with Je- rome Wood, Howard “freak” play- er, on the famous Red Circles, 100-pound team that won over 50 consecutive games while at the height of their career. ‘Taylor Is Goat Taylor missed a golden oppor- tunity in the last second when he was given two free throws by the referee. If Taylor had made his two shots good Howard would have been tied and an extra five minutes would have given his team and even chance for the palm. Both shots went wild and the door of opportunity was closed and in the next second the whistle ended hostilities. Burr Made Error ‘This writer thinks Coach Burr made a grave error when he took Beaseley out in the latter part of the first half. Beaseley was do- ing great work, but he had three personals so he was yanked. Smith was sent in in his place, but in the few minutes he was in the game the West Virginia lads fought their way to within two points of a deadlock. Burr rea- lized his mistake ‘and rushed Beaseley back into the fray, but it was too late as the visitors had come out of the first slump and with renewed heart they battl like demons. Smith payed the way for this comeback. A cold man sent in when things look bright had turned the tide of bate tle. Played As Of Old From then on both teams’ put up a gallant fight, but the edge and “lady luck” was with West Virginia and they were not to be denied: As the clocks ticked off the last seconds both teams threw caution to the four winds and 10 men played basketball as it was played in the days when an invert- ed peach basket was used for a goal and 16 men constituted a team. The tricks of the game were forgotten. It was goals that counted and a single point meant the game. It was at this point that the fans got their greatest a da long barrage at fen started a long i cords and the ball that went through gave that team a much needed advantage.

There are 16 men on the squad at present and every last one is good. ‘Armstrong has three “first” teams and if they had to play a series there would hardly be more than a three-point margin in any game, so well aro the teams matched, said the coach. The Poet mentor says he never knows which group of men will enter a game until he finds out who the officials are. His boys are so good that he can almost” shut his eyes and select a quint ‘from the group of players.

BISONS TRAINING FOR MORGAN GAME IN ALY. WEDNESDAY |. The Howard University basket- ‘ball team under the direction of Coach Johnny Burr has been going thru their paces all week m order to reach top form for ‘the game ‘Wednesday in New York when the isons meet the bears of Morgan College in their second game of the season. ‘The Hilltoppers dropped a 41 to 88 tilt to the Baltimore quint the first of the season, but as the sea~ son progresses the bisons have ‘gained considerable added experi- ence and a hard battle is in store when the two take the floor on Lincoln’s birthday. Jerome “Freak” Woods, last year’s star and captain, was sched- ‘uleduled to come out for the team a few weeks ago, but for some rea- sons he has failed to don the blue and white this year. Woods says his studies are taking most of his time and stated that he may be out later in the season. However, in Hall and Williams Coach Burr has a clever pair of guards; a brace of men that can ‘shoot as well as play an all-round floor game. Beaseley in pivot is hard to beat when he is “on”. Whether “on” or “off” he is a dan- getous man at all times. Taylor and Harris in guard round out one of the best guard combines on the hill. Both are fast and can shoot. All in all the Hilltoppers will make the bears put ‘up their best, win or lose. Wilberforce Boys And Girls Win Court Tilts WILBERFORCE, 0.— Wilber- force University opened its inter- colleigate basketball season with a 34-24 win over Bluefield Institute, Monday night in Beacon Gym.

Va., 29 BALTIMORE—Morgan College, collegiate basketball champs, de- feated the West Virginia team here Friday night at the New Albert auditorium by a score of 40 to 29. Rapp Wheatley dropped one thru the netting almost before the whistle died away, and from then on it was like the big parade—two by tro the score went up. Soon oods broke the ice for the yel- low jackets with a double c Diggs added two baskets toward the close of the half. In the mean- time Lanky Jones had dropped three, Pinkie Clark had four to his credit and all the other Bear players had scored. The half end- ed with the score 23-12 in Mor- gan’e fevnr President Johnson In Midst Of Mob As Students Rush Time Table LINCOLN COACH CLAIMS HOWARD TIMER 'CHEATED' President Mordecai Johnson found himself in the midst of a mob of seething students. Wednesday night in the Howard gymnasium, when 1,000 boys rushed the time table when "Bill" Taylor, Lincoln coach, sounded his whistle and stopped the game between his team and Howard while Lincoln was two points in the lead. The final score was 21 to 20 in favor of Lincoln. When seen after the game Taylor said the time was a minute over, yet the Howard man protested and claimed that a half minute remained. When Taylor sprang to his feet and blew the whistle it was a signal for a rush on the time table. President Johnson and E. P. Davis, head of the Howard Board of Athletic Control, were sitting near the table. They found themselves surrounded by infuriated students howling and velling. Referee Cupid gled his whistle in vain, claiming that Howard had a free throw coming. None paid him any attention, so Cupid gave Howard the extra point, which made the score 21-20 for the Lions. The students and Howard followers were quieted after a few minutes and all left the gymnasium without any further demonstration. Hiss Referee The game was a bitter battle from start to finish with Lincoln leading at half time by a 12 to 8 decision. Lincoln rooters hissed Referee Cup repeatedly for what they claimed an unusual number of fouls called on Lincoln. Howard in the eyes of an impartial observer had more than its share of breaks, and Lincoln players were forced to handle Howard team members with kid gloves. If a Lincoln man came too close to a Howard player a personal or a technical foul was sure to be called on the visiting player. Woods Back Jerome "Freak" Woods, last year's Howard captain and star player, was on the floor for the first time this season. Woods failed to make a point. He had three chances at foul goals, but failed on each try. Howard only made three field goals during the entire game with Hall, Williams and Beasley making one each. Little "Sallie" Hall made 11 of the points scored by his team. Made Nine four shots He shot nine four goals out of 12 chances. Howard trailed most of the game from the start. Early in the first half the Hilltoppers had a 2-0 advantage, but this was short-lived as Dacosta soon dead- locked the score at two all. From this period until the session ended both teams played a wary game. However, Lincoln started a semi- freezing game in an attempt to draw Howard men off their guard. Then a Lincoln man would scoot down the court to sink the ball through the basket. Sydnor Stars Howard put on a brilliant spurt in the last half and at one time had the score tied at 17 all. Two free throws by Taylor gave the Bisons a 2-point lead. Sydnor, Lincoln clever pivot, went on a rampage, shot two baskets in rapid succession, making the count 21-19 for his team. It was at this point that Taylor gave the signal to stop hostilities. In the preliminaries the "Blues," Freshman team, defeated the "Whites," another Freshman team, by a 34-33 score.

Essie, the older sister, who ‘eame especially from Chicago so as to appear in the farewell week Dill, heads the shaw with her song »act. Her rendering of “Congratu- lations” nearly stopped the. show, <which' proves that although . she “hasn't appeared on the: stage for over ten years, she's still a sensa- “tion with Washington. ... The principal billed as Anna May Price, and who hails from Wash- ington, came in for a. large share ~of honors. Miss Price “has ap- =peared here before and is a. great favorite. The characters supply- ing the comedy are Willie Too Sweet, Cut Out and Dusty, and their clowning is one of the’ high spots of the revue. A bit of Broadway is breathed into the show with “Moanin” Low,” as sung by Mattie Heights, who was also brought down from New York for this week. Alfreda Alman, tap dancer extraordinaire, shows cleverly executed steps and did as many as three encores, each per- formance.

THE WASH:NGTON-TRIBUNE FRIDAY, JANUARY 31, 1930 BACK; STAGE With Ralph Matthews enaeere ie enaeree Sean On Seen ee nee Are showfolk human? They certainly are, and here is proof. It happened backstage at the Howard Theatre one night last week. The curtain rang down on'the supper show. The finale went over with the same precision it. always does. None of the excitement that quickened the pulse of those who danced and sang was evident to those who looked and listened out. front, but it was immediately apparanet the moment they.scampered to their dressing rooms. The long dressing table, with its multiple mirrors where the chorus girls apply the sex appeal from their makeup kits, was trimmed in many colors with crepe paper and ribbon. On top of an upturned trunk sparkled a big white birthday cake with candles and everything. Chorus gitls, still in their short skirts and opera hose, produced presents from God knows where. Comedians, who did not stop to re- move the burnt cork from their faces, straight men, prima donnas, sou- brettes, and‘even the stage’ manager gathered around, and they drank something or other from a big glass jug and ate chicken salad and nuts and’eandy and had a helluva big time just like Mr. and Mrs, Or- dinary Guy in their fine parlors do. The fat jolly face of Mrs. Lillian Toles, the wardrobe mistress, was wreathed in smiles, for was it not her—of course, she did not say which—birthday and incidentally the anniversary of her first year with the Whitman Sisters. “Nice party,” I remarked to Princess Wee Wee, whom I picked as my partner at the festive board. “Oh, this is nothing,” she said, and I had to sfoop very low to hear her wee voice. “You ought to see our big Christmas party. There are more than two hundred presents on the Christmas tree, and we sing hymns, too.” And as they reve’/:d there, telling jokes, kidding Mrs. Toles about her hubby back in Chicago, and munching little candy hearts and cake, someone called, “Five minutes. All on.” The curtain went up, and the.show went on as it always does night after night. The folks who at in the seats out front never knew what had just transpired back- stage. THE PASSING OF A TROUPER Showfolk have a sense of loyalty that we laymen do not possess and they are just as reverent as the emost pious deacon in spite of the fact that they earn their bread to the tune of jazz. Earnest Michel, for ten years a featured player with the Whitman Sisters, died last Friday in Chicago. On the day he was buried the whole troupe held an impressive service backstage at the Howard in the dressing room. Testimonials were given by those who knew him. Hymns and prayers were offered in his behalf. y The dead man was 31 years old and was well known from coast to coast. He took sick in Philadelphia while the Wkitman Sisters were playing there and was sent to Chicago by Mabel Whitman, man- ager of the company. In Chicago he was given the best of attention by Essie Whitman, who keeps up the palatial residence of her sisters. Prayers were offered in his behalf. On the tomb which will be placed over his grave rest these few words: “A loyal trouper is buried here, He served the Whitman Sisters “For many a year. Never a task was Too large or too small— He always answered the trouper's call.” Sanctified hypocrites who point a finger of scorn at the actor group ‘and the theatre in general would he more tolerant if they could but get the performers slant on life. I think God is fairly well, pleased with the Whitman Sisters. THE LOW DOWN ON “HOT CHOCOLATES” Many Washingtonians motored over to Baltimore to view that great Broadway mystery offering, “Hot Chocolates,” which graced the boards at the Maryland Theatre, last week. . The producers, I concede, hetald it as.a musical revue, but 1 dob it_a mystery play, because it baffled me to know how such a mediocre ‘offering remained on Broadway so long. It was by no means a “Blackbirds,” a “Shuffle Along” or How Come.” In fact, to yours truly who viewed it at the height of its popularity on the big street, it possessed considerable less entertain ment value than the poorest of the presentations at the loward last season during the reign of Shelton Brooks as master of ceremonies. It was gloriously punk. | The secret was just this. Up in Harlem, a certain Hebrew jen- tleman by the name of Connie owns a night club called Connie's Inn, which subsists on’ the patronage of downtown ofays who think that | to ramble with black folk is a wonderful lark. This same Mr. Connie nrodv-el “Hot Chocolates,” a review which does |title more than advertise the famous Inn. |. The money the show lost dountown was made up uptown through cover charges, and, thus, 2 show, which would have heen a flop after | the first week in any other town, hecame a long run hit on Broadway, the hardest street in the world. Of such is the theatre made.

Tn the first place “The Lovo Pa- rade” was written for the audible screen, It is not a film version of any previous stage production, it was created expressly for the screen and with the idea of the screen's values for amusement uppermost in the minds of the geniuses who created it, Idhuersionhrdl mfwy vbgkq xzfifl In the second place “The Love Parade” was directed by. Ernst Lubitsch, who was named by vote of critics in a poll taken by Film Daily as the foremost director ir the movie industry. He has never turned out a failure. One of his greatest pictures was “The Pa. triot.” ‘Then there are other qualities that carry “The Love Parade” t the fore as probably the greatest musical romance of the New Show World. ‘The libretto or dialog was written by Ernest Vajda and Guy Bolton. Both are veterans of their craft. Bolton has written the books for over fifty operetta: and musical comedies. _ Ten original songs are feature: in “The Love Parade.” They were i written by Victor Schertzinger “musician and director, a man o! many talents. He has written 2 number of successful songs. Onc of them was “Marcheta,” one o! the most successful best-selling popular songs of all times.

Beale Street, birthplace of jazz, and inspiration of the “Bleale Street Blués” and other numbers, contributed largely to the making of the first all-Negro picture in history. Many of the people ap- pearing in the new Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer talking and. singing novelty were chosen for their roles on the famous Memphis street, most colorful Negro settle- ment in the world. The new picture was largely filmed in and about Memphis, and on cotton plantations along the Mississippi, It opens at the Broadway Theatre, February 9th, King Vidor, famous director of “The Big Parade,” directed the new drama, which is to the screen wrat “Porgy” and similar plays were to the speaking stegs. ‘Vidor “The Three Musketeers” and for “Hit the Deck.” Heading the supporting cast of “The Parade” is Jeanette Mac Donald, lovely Philadelphia girl who made a rapid climb in musi- cal comedy through two or trree years of hard work abetted by # personal charm and beauty that Just wouldn't allow her to Stay in obscurity. This is her_ first all- talking production, She made such a great hit in it that Para- mount immediately signed her on a contract for other films. She has heen described as “the girl with the gold hair and sea-green took his principals, mostly re~ to Memphis, where the cotton workers and other characters were chosen from among the natives trere. The famous Dixie Jubilee Singers, Negro chorus, was en- listed to sing the “blues” and spirituals and other musical num- bers featured in the production. In the great baptismal scene, the camp meeting and other vivid and spectacular details their voices add greatly to the unique charm of the drama of Negro life in the South.

There are some people who wish for us to scuttle overnight. Iam informed that every group in Haiti considers that such action ‘would result in disaster to the Hai- tian people. “On the other hand, our treaty of 1915, under which our forces are present in that country, in the main expires in 1936, or six years hence. We have no mandate to con- tinue the present relationship af- ter that date. .__ Have Obligation «We have an obligation to the people of Haiti, and we need to plan how we will discharge that obligation. ‘There js need to build up a certainty of efficient and eta- ble government, in order that. life and property may be protected af- ter we withdraw. “We need to know, therefore, what sequent steps should be tak- en in co-operation with the Haitian people to bring about this result. Careful Investigation “The answers to these questions must be worked out in broad vision after careful investigation of the entire subject by men of unbiased minds. “It is for this reason that I have proposed to send a commission to Haiti to determine the facts, to study and survey the whole prob- lem in the light of our experience in the past 15 years and the social and political background of the Haitian people, to confer with all ‘sides, to recommend the sequent and positive steps which will lead to the liquidation of our responsi- bilities and at the same time assure stable government in Haiti. “As I have stated before, I have no desire for representation of the American Government — abroad through our military forces. : | Peace and Onder Restored Swe entered Jaiti in 1915 for Fessons, arising, from chaotic, and stressing conditions, the conse- quence of a long period of civil war and disorganization. We as- sumed by treaty the obligation to assist the republic of Haiti in the restoration of order, the organiza- tion of an efficient police foree, the rehabilitation of its finances, and the development of its natural re- sources. We have the implied ob- ligation of assisting in building up a stable self-government. “Peace and order have been re- stored, finances have been largely rehabilitated, a police ferce is| functioning under the leadership of Marine officers. The economic de- velopment of Haiti has shown ex- traordinary improvement under this regime. It is marked by high- way systems, vocational schools, public health measures. Gen. Rus- soll deserves great credit for these accomplishments. “We need now a new and definite policy looking forward to the ex- niration of our treaties.” FAST FRIENDS FOR PASTS8 YEARS gta y ‘s is | ~~ > Mys Josspmme Lyurs ' Dale Ave. No. 5, St. Leuis.

COMPLETE TEXT OF JUDGE AND LAWYERS In the opening argument Mr. Canfield reviewed carefully the evidence which had been given in the cases. He declared that it was Miss Fitzhugh against the field. He pointed out that persons from Howard University, doctors and officials from Freedmen's Hospital, doctors and prominent people were brought in to support the defense of Dr. Curtis and his wife. He declared that the defense had "four big handfuls of mud." The first muddy hand, he stated, is the declaration that "this woman is a blackmailer." The second, he said, was the statement that "she is a perjurer." The third, he stated, was branding her as "socially unclean," and the fourth was the allegation that "she is insane." Social Menace Anyone of these four, he said, would make her a social menace. But the defense did not miss anything, he declared. "They take the four of them. In trying to cover up conditions here, haven't they gone just a little bit too far?" he asked. In his opening remarks, Mr. Canfield explained to the jury that the plaintiff had to carry the burden of proof. Justice Siddons interrupted him to add that his statement was true except as to self-defense, which the defendants claimed. "If you find that she has not carried the burden," Mr. Canfield asserted, "there is no use to worry with damages." He suggested that the jury take the testimony, weigh it carefully "and decide for yourselves whether or not we have carried our burden." Defending Property Dr. Curtis denied the assault. He said he was only defending himself from an unreasonable attack made by the plaintiff, that he was defending his property, and also defending his wife. With respect to the assault on July 7, 1827, Dr. Curtis said he was defending his property. Mrs. Curtis said she was defending herself, her husband and her husband's property, and she also denied she assaulted Miss Fitzhugh. "This abortion," Mr. Canfield declared, "is not a subject of the complaint. In other words, there GENUINE PHILLIPS MILK OF MAGNESIA For Troubles due to Acid INDISECTION ACID SYMPHAG HEARTBURN HEADACHE GASES - MAUSEA What most people call indigestion is usually excess acid in the stomach.

One tasteless spoonful in water neutralizes many times its volume in Pretty girls of fun.... girls have is no charge for you to pass upon concerning this abortion wherein we are asking damages. Do not consider for a minute that we are entitled to any by reason of that abortion." Intimacies Mr. Canfield then reviewed to the jury the testimony of Miss Fitzhugh regarding her meeting Dr. Curtis in 1921 and again her calling him for treatment in 1926 when she alleged he recommended physical intimacies with himself. He recalled her testimony about these alleged intimacies, her delicate condition as a result and the alleged illegal operation. "That abortion," he declared, "is the foundation of these complaints. Sick 20 Weeks "The testimony was that she was sick for twenty weeks after that abortion," he declared. "Then she called upon this defendant to make good his promises to her that if anything happened to her he was then getting a divorce from his wife and he would then marry her." He declared that those were all elements leading up to the events of May 8 and July 7, 1927. "They are the so-called motive," he stated. Given Two Beatings Given Two Beatings He said that it was first former policeman Orville Staples who complained to police headquarters about the alleged illegal operation. He drew the conclusion that Dr. Curtis knowing that something was going on concerning this alleged illegal operation, "decided to beat her with a punch and make it appear as his father said he would that she is crazy and secondly that he would proceed against her and get the strong arm of the law in his favor. Fearing something would happen and losing his temper, he gave her a second bad beating." Made Girl's Case He declared that the defendant's testimony "has practically made the plaintiff's case. He told the jury to take Dr. Curtis' story or his wife's story and see where they fell down. He pointed out that Dr. Curtis recommended a surgical treatment and that he testified Miss Fitzhugh gave him $100 for the operation. "And will you ever forget his hedging on the witness stand when I asked him where that $100 was?" he asked Plot Thickens "The plot thickens. She comes back after the operation and wants $100, then it jumps to $700 and then to $780." He then referred to Dr. A. M. Curtis, father of Dr. Arthur L. Curtis. He recalled testimony of Miss Fitzhugh concerning an alleged statement by him that if anything "happens growing out of that operation he would prove she wass crazy." Mr. Canfield then brought in the alleged remark of Dr. Curtis when he looked into Joe Murray's cigar store and saw digestion Immediate Relief! acid. The results are immediate, with no bad after-effects. Once you learn this fact, you will never deal with excess acid in the crude ways. Go learn-now-why this method is cuprime.

Miss Fitzhugh lying on the floor after the alleged assault of July 7 that "Nothing is the matter with that woman; she's crazy." Plea of Charles Houston Attorney For Defense In summing up the case for the defense, Attorney Charles H. Houston minutely reviewed the evidence in the case, reading excerpts of testimony of different witnesses to the jury and commenting upon it from time to time. No Affection He pointed out that despite the testimony of Miss Fitzhugh that she was to marry Dr. Curtis, there was not one word of endearment or affection in the entire case. He derided the contention of the counsel for the plaintiff that an illegal operation had been performed by Dr. Cutis. He chided the plaintiff for failure to produce witnesses who could have corroborated her testimony. "Where is the letter Dr. Curtis is supposed to have written her from Detroit?" he asked. He also asked for production posed to have written. of notes that Dr. Curtis was sup- No. Doctor. Produced No Doctor Produced "Have you ever heard." Mr. Houston asked the jury, "of a single case of a person injured where no doctor has been produced? Where no time has been lost from work? The thing is an absurdity. The case would not be here five minutes if this were not a woman. If the plaintiff were a man, he would be laughed out of court." Mr. Houston pointed out that at the same time that Miss Fitzhugh "is having trouble with Dr. Curtis, she is running out to the hospital to see another man, Interne Robert Craft." Returns Second Time Laying down the proposition that a burnt child dreads the fire, he asked "would a normal, sensible woman beaten on May 8 come back on that day, be beaten a second time, and then come back on July 7? Mr. Houston charged that Mr. Canfield had tried the witnesses instead of trying the case. "His attack was every time, 'Are you a friend of Dr. Curtis'. A person can have character and still be a friend." He pointed out that Miss Fitzhugh had not brought into court a single witness to prove loss of business. He charged that she made a defamatory affidavit and gave it to newspapers for publication which circulated among Dr. Curtis' patients. Disregard Testimony He told the jury they were entitled to disregard her whole testimony. He read from her affidavit a statement that she had a warrant sworn out for the arrest of Dr. Curtis because she had testified falsely about a matter about which she could not be mistaken. Mr. Houston read from the testimony of Dr. Benjamin Karpman, psychiatrist, of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, in which the doctor answered a hypothetical question to the effect that from the statement of the case the person described was suffering from hysterical insanity. Mud Slinging "Talk about mud!" Mr. Houston exclaimed. "Who slung the mud? Have we slung the mud? This woman damns every woman in this man's family except his mother in an insane desire for vengeance." Attorney Austin F. Canfield made the closing argument on behalf of Miss Fitzhugh. Long before the hour for the opening of court Tuesday morning even the corridors of the District Supreme Court building were crowded with persons eager to hear the closing arguments of counsel. Unable to gain admission, they still lingered. Complete Text of Justice Siddons' Charge to Jury Justice Frederick L. Siddons made a lengthy charge to the jury before submitting the case to them. He told the jury that what has to be settled is the truth of the matter in controversy. "It is for you to say what the facts are from the evidence adduced," he stated. He also told them that they had the right to determine the weight they will give to the evidence that has been adduced and the credibility they will attach to the testimony of witnesses. He explained to the jury that that there were two suits brought by Miss Fitzhugh, one of them against Dr. Arthur L. Curtis and the other against his wife, Mrs. Helen Gordon Curtis. The declaration against Dr. Curtis, he stated, contains four counts, two of them alleging two separate assaults and batteries on May 8, and the other two counts alleging a single assault in slight different manners on July 7, 1927. The declaration against Mrs. Curtis alleged that she participated in the assaults of May 8. Justice Siddons explained to the jury that both defendants claimed self-defense and that they were protecting themselves and each and Dr. Curtis' property. Can Protect Husband "Where a wife, for instance, sees that her husband is the victim of an assault or battery, or attempted assault or battery," he instructed the jury, "she may protect him, and, of course, the husband may do the same thing; but the law goes a little further and says THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1930 person may protect his property from an unwarranted trespass upon it or threatened destruction or theft thereof, and may use for such purpose such force as a reasonable person might require." Judge Explains With respect to the burden of proof Justice Siddons told the jury that "it is generally with the plaintiff to make out the case charged against the defendant." He said the defendant had to establish her case by a preponderance of the evidence. The same rule applied, however, he stated, to an affirmative defense, such as a claim of self-defense put forward by Dr. and Mrs. Curtis in this case. Departing from his usual practice, Justice Siddons referred to the evidence in the case. After making a general review of Miss Fitzhugh's testimony as to what took place prior to May 8, 1927, Justice Siddons said: Not Incriminating "Dr. Curtis is not here now answering for any alleged abortion that took place. He is not here to answer for what she says he induced her to do. That evidence, however, was received and admitted as bearing upon the question of possible motive that the defendant Arthur Curtis might have in one way or another to prevent a disclosure of, first, the alleged illicit relations and, second, the alleged abortion, and it has no other proper place in this case than that." Punitive Damages Punitive Damages Justice Siddons read a prayer of the plaintiff for instructions on the questions of threats that if the jury found that the plaintiff actually made threats against the defendants, or either of them, they must consider this evidence solely in mitigation of punitive damages which they might award the plaintiff and for no other purpose. Questions Good Faith He told the jury that they were to consider the evidence concerning her giving to the newspapers an affidavit reciting her accusations against Dr. Curtis and a pencil sketch of herself in connection with her good faith in the matter of bringing the charges against Dr. Curtis and his wife. He referred to the testimony that Miss Fitzhugh was a highly nervous, hyterical woman, and told the jury they were to consider her demanor on the witness stand as well as the testimony in determining what weight and creditibility to give to the testimony. Reasonable Time He also instructed the jury that if they found that Miss Fitzhugh was invited to the office of Dr. Curtis, before the defendants, or either of them, could use force to eject her, they must first allow her a reasonable opportunity to retire. Justice Siddons instructed the jury at the instance of defense counsel that whenever a person is assaulted by another, he or she does not have to wait until attacked but can head off the attack by use of such reasonable force as is necessary. Use Equal Force He also read to the jury another defense prayer for instructions that a person has the same right to use force reasonably necessary to defend himself against an assault made by a woman as if the assault were made by a man. The defense prayer for an instruction was also granted, which stated that failure of the plaintiff to produce material, available evidence which has a bearing upon the case laid the party open to the presumption that the evidence if produced would have been to her prejudice. Any Sum Sufficient Justice Siddons also instructed the jury that the payment of any sum where a person is confronted with some suit or action may be made for the purpose of putting an end to the threatened action without the slightest admission of liability. He instructed the jury that if after considering all of the evidence in the cases they are of the opinion that the plaintiff is entitled to recover from either or both of the defendants, they might assess both compensatory and punitive damages. Credibility His final instruction was that they were to give to the testimony of each of the witnesses the credibility it deserves but not because he is a member of a hospital staff, or a member of a faculty of an institution of learning. Threatens Auditors After the jury had retired, Justice Siddons warned the audience in the courtroom that any demonstration by them upon the return of the verdict would be punished. He said that word had reached him Monday that some statement of what the verdict should be had been made where it might be overheard by the jury. "If such a thing occurred," he declared, "it was a gross contempt of court." "When the jury comes in and reports its verdict," he stated, "orders have been given to the marshal that if there be the slightest demonstration of a pleause or dissatisfaction he will bring to the bar of the court the person guilty and I promise that that person will be penalized."

M IMPORT PRODUCTS CO. 12 R. Westgate, Price, R.U., Chicago Dr. Karpman Did Not Mention Miss Fitzhugh A headline over an article concerning the Fitzhugh-Curtis case, which appeared in the edition of the Tribune of last week, stated that Miss Eva Fitzhugh, the plaintiff in the case, suffered from hysterical insanity. That headline was erroneous. Dr. Benjamin Karpman, a psychiatrist, of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, testifying for the defense last Thursday, in answer to a hypothetical question asked by Charles H. Houston, counsel for Dr. and Mrs. Arthur L. Curtis, expressed the opinion that one whose actions were such as described by Mr. Houston's statement of testimony suffered from hysterical insanity in a severe form. No mention was made of the name of Miss Fitzhugh in Dr. Karpman's testimony. 86 GRADUATED FROM GARNET- PATTERSON The first mid-year graduating class of the new Garnet-Patterson Junior High School hold its commencement exercises last Friday evening in the auditorium of the school. The number of graduates totaled eighty-six, of which fifty-three will enter Dunbar, twenty-two to Armstrong, and eleven to Cardozo. The program was opened with the entrance of the graduates.

The All High School Orchestra under the direction of Henry L. Grant, played as their next number, "Adoration". To complete the first half of the program, the graduates sang "The Agra". Following this, John R. Pinkett, the speaker of the afternoon, was introduced by Dr. Johnson. In Mr. Pinkett's address, he stated, "Regardless of what high school, college or university you graduates may select to finish in the years to come, you children owe your first allegiance to this structure you call Garnet-Patterson in which you have just completed your elementary schooling". In accord with the splendid address given by Mr. Pinkett, the graduates sang their Alma Mater. The awarding of certificates to those who excelled in scholarship, physical condition and attendance by Garnet C. Wilkerson was followed by the class song, "In Remembrance". The orchestra played "Romance" before the benediction, which was given by the Rev. D. E. Wiseman. The class officers are Edward Harris, president; Vera Sharpe, yice-president; Donald Webb, secretary, and Pearl Holland, treasurer. Flaxie Pinkett was awarded the highest honor as to scholarship. Hazel Compton, Alyce Hensley and Paul Holland tied for second honors, while Vera Sharpe was given third place. The class was exceedingly large in proportion relative to the number of students in the school. This was stressed by Miss Meneola Kirkland, the principal, in closing the exercises.

Many improvements have been made. Its news departments have been greatly enlarged, new features have been added, and improvements made in its general appearance. We hope this bigger and better paper will be accepted by the Washington public just as our first issue was accepted nearly ten years ago. The management of this paper has tried to give the readers here the kind of paper they would support. In launching this new, bigger and better paper, the management feels that Washington is ready to support a paper this size. Washington, the Capital of the Nation, cannot lag behind other American cities in its material progress. A substantial newspaper is one of the first requisites to a cohesive, progressive community. The Tribune with its new size and dress, will continue to espouse the building of more and larger Negro business enterprises here and will continue to fight for those principles of liberty and freedom that every Negro should hold so dear. To have strength to carry on such a fight, The Tribune must be supported. We feel confident that the people of Washington will certainly do that because they have made the "bigger and better Tribune" possible. APPROACH THE BAR WITH CLEAN HANDS President Mordecai W. Johnson of Howard University has branded the Negro press as catering to a scandal-mongering public. The present perturbment of Dr. Johnson with the Negro press follows very closely his failure to subsidize and censor this press. Certainly Dr. Johnson is not uttering this criticism with clean hands. In saying that the Negro press caters to a "scandal mongering publicic" Dr. Johnson not only indicts the press, but the readers as well. A president of a great university who would send his emissary to a nearby city to purchase the whole edition of a certain paper to suppress a story about large gifts to the university and failed, certainly should not try to retaliate by labelling the whole Negro press as "scandal mongers." Unfortunately, Dr. Johnson's regime has not been one of cordiality with the Negro press. This is true despite the fact that it was the Negro press who paved the way for him to occupy his present position. A conference with various press representatives was held at the university last fall at the instigation of Dr. Johnson. At this meeting the whole matter of the relation of the Negro press to the university was discussed and those who attended came away with the impression that the ground work had been laid at last for a satisfactory working agreement between the fourth estate and the university, especially the president's office. There was a slight improvement for a time, but during the past several weeks, matters have been going from bad to worst and now the climax has been reached with Dr. Johnson's curt and insulting reflection on the Negro press. The ignoring of the entire press at the recent conference of General Smuts, can never be forgotten. This was downright premeditated sulkiness. Somebody on the "Hill" should tell Dr. Johnson that Howard University owes a large debt to the Negro press. This university has received more publicity in these papers than any other of our schools. The Negro press made the Howard-Lincoln Classic possible. The publicity given the school has been largely responsible for the constantly increasing enrollment. Prior to Dr. Johnson coming here, there was congenial reciprocation of favors between the university officials and the press. Since his advent however, it has been a bitter fight for the men assigned to cover the university activities to get legitimate news. He has tried by all sorts of tricks to thwart the efforts of the newsmen here. Some of these tricks have come perilously close to sullying Dr. Johnson's Christian reputation. This sort of estrangement of relation with the Negro press should not go on. Dr. Johnson will not succeed in suppressing news at Howard, despite the kind of dictator censorship he is trying to establish. He has not succeeded in the past and we know he will not succeed in the future. The university can certainly gain nothing through its present hostile policy. The Negro press may occasionally miss a story,—but in missing that story it certainly will be the university that will be hurt. The presidency of Howard University should be a big position and should be held by a big man. Dr. Johnson we are afraid will have to do some vast improving if he is to measure up to the job. DENYING THEIR OWN EMPLOYMENT It is generally agreed that the Negro is facing an economic crisis. It is becoming more evident that he must put forth a self-help program. A beginning must be made. We must face the facts now, or pretty soon hereafter. We must have more employment and we must furnish ourselves as much of this employment as possible. This needed employment must be furnished by the more favored of the Negro race—that is, Negroes who are making sufficient money to have a surplus, regardless as to how small, that can be invested. By properly organizing these surpluses, a pool of sufficient size can be created whereby industrial and commercial enterprises can be launched A beginning of this kind has been made here with the organizing of the Mercantile Trading Company, a corporation having for its objective the purchasing of a substantial interest in a well established department store here. If this proposition succeeds, it alone will furnish employment for over a hundred Negroes. This proposition could be put over within a few weeks if the Negroes who have money, would only pool a small amount each. Of what service to the race is a group with surplus money, be it professional, clerical, pedagogical or whatnot, if the use of this surplus is denied the race. Is there any racial loyalty when Negroes place their surplus money so others than themselves can use it? Is there any such a thing anyway as race loyalty among Negroes with money? David H. Pierce, a member of the editorial board of the Cleveland, Ohio Daily News, in a recent talk in Kansas City, Mo., in discussing the Negro said: "Labor-saving devices, chain stores and chain banks are forcing him from the present precarious position he occupies," the editor said. "He is the last to be hired and the first to be fired. He has little buying power because he is employed in the occupations which pay the least wages. He has not business and financial structures of his own sufficient to employ even a small fraction of his people. Since these same devices I have named are forcing white men out of work, it will be seen that the Negro, always last to be considered, is in for a dark future. I look for a permanent un-employed class among Negroes. higher death rates, greater crime and greater social dependency." The need of economic co-operation among Negroes is imperative. The Mercantile Trading Company in Washington is but a feeble beginning. The intelligence of the Negroes in Washington should permit them to readily see the many advantages in investing their money in enterprises that absorb some of our unemployed. This city especially should have such stores as the Mercantile Trading Company proposes to establish because our schools here are turning out so many graduates who cannot find jobs. Therefore, Washington should take the lead in such a venture. If some such step is not taken real soon, we may just as well close half of our high schools and colleges and let the others simply turn out replacements for our present professional groups. Will the Negroes in Washington with money measure up to their opportunities to be of real and lasting service to their own group? The next few weeks will tell.

ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE "HALLELUJAH" "HALLELUJAH" My criticism of "Hallelujah," the last Negro picture at the Lincoln last week drew forth a storm of protest from some quarters and from some other sources came words of commendation. I said the picture left a bad taste and now I am compelled to say that it was more sour than bad. And by all that's holy, righteous and sanctified I still stick by my guns and maintain that "Hallelujah" not only was mediocre, but King Vidor is far from being a great producer. I refuse to hail every Tom, Dick and Harry who writes a story as a group of whites wishes it to be written or produce a play under the same conditions, as a genius. For some unaccountable reason a number of our elite acclaim every writer, especially the white ones, who write of the so called and alleged Negro life in some far southern town. You find this more prevalent among the educated group than anywhere else. It is the fad among this group to hail some cracker who writes of his "Mammy" or "Uncle Tom" as he or she appeared in the old home town. Negro society makes a hero of these white men and mob the stands buying their books. While speaking of Negro society here—well that's another story and I shall discuss it in another story. Back to "Hallelujah." First Mr. Vidor was told what was wanted. The rest was easy. We have had the Southern "Darky" displayed before us as the white man wishes him to be for years. We even had a beautiful "Nigger" poem in our school books until this paper made the school board take the books from the system. Mr. Vidor merely had to follow the lead set for the last 60 years and get together a few Negroes who were willing to "pick cotton and sing for the edification of white audiences." The scenes in the picture have been before us constantly in books and on stages for so long that it took no exceptional man to patch the scenes and add a different title. I admit the singing in spots was good. Miss Eve Jessie, director and leader of the Dixie Jubilee Singers, has an excellent group of artists. I have the pleasure of personally knowing Miss Jessie and worked with her on a newspaper for some time. She has an excellent voice and the ability to train others. She can write, also. Daniel Haynes has a fair voice, but it is too heavy for baritone and he does not fit in as a basso. Mr. Vidor said several sensitive instruments were destroyed by his harsh voice. The dialect used by the Negro family was overdrawn. Bert Williams, the greatest comedian of all times, did not use dialect. He was himself and gained the plaudits of millions in this country and Europe. He was the only actor to successfully imitate a Southern preacher. He did not use dialect as great actors do not have to affect something they are not in order to be a success. He developed the talent he had and was natural. Bert's "Brother Lowdown" was and is a masterpiece. I doubt seriously if a minister would be bold enough to take a convert dripping with water from the pool or river, carry her to his tent and make love to the girl while hundreds of others waited to be baptized. I believe Haynes should have been the one to have met death. He stole another man's woman. "Long Shot" had the woman, "Chick" first, and Haynes took her away. By the unwritten law of the wild the woman belonged to "Long Shot." Of course, Haynes took her, but she belonged to her first lover. What man wouldn't kill another male for stealing his woman. He men do it now. I have attended many camp meetings in the south and for that reason I again say the picture was overdrawn. Camp meeting in the Southland is feast day. Farmers and their wives and children come from miles around to feast. How well I do remember the long board tables across the front of the churches piled high with chicken, water melons, cakes, pies and all of the goodies only a farmer's wife can afford to prepare while hundreds ate and ate until they could not possibly hold anymore. The sermon was secondary. Neighbors came to talk, men about crops and women about a thousand and one things while the youngsters played in the woods. Camp meetings are held in an off season, invariably in August when the crops are ripening, too late to plant and too early to harvest. Ruring that period farmers and the countryside hold camp meeting. They are get-together meetings rather than for religion. Of course when the minister preaches a few may "get religion" and are later baptized, but when a camp meeting is held food plays the big role. I shall call King Vidor or any other producer great when he can present a production showing the true Negro as he is rather than as the white man wishes him to be. I admit it w'll be a hard job, but it is the hard things that count. I am not a producer. I do not know how it ought to be done.

George Washington, the papa of this country, is dead, and so is the once noble city which bears his name. This fact is never brought home so forcefully as it is after you have been away for a spell and return suddenly, unsung and unannounced, and catch the old burg dreaming itself away beside the equally lazy and shiftless Potomac. Coming southward you can hear the snores as far up as Philadelphia. Arriving here you find something very similar to what I imagine eternity is like. The red caps meet you with that same expectant smile and leave you with that same disappointed look they gave you many years ago. The street cars poke along with that same defiant way that always seemed to me to say, "If you don't like it, get off and walk," which you rather would. In what we laughingly call the uptown section, you see the same unhandsome faces, going about the same or similar business of no importance. The same alleged doctors are still about their tasks of making a living for the same undertakers, and the same teachers are turning out the pupils in the same ignorant condition and packing them off to the same colleges to get educated in the same unprofitable way. At Howard University you find the same students who have been there long enough to be honorary members of the Old Inhabitants Society, rattling their fraternity pins with that same blank expression on their faces. Had President Coolidge seen many of them, he would probably never have signed the Howard Appropriation Bill, and you couldn't have blamed the fellow. Lawyers are collecting the same fees for losing the same cases, and, gullible although I am, even I put little faith in the rumor that they have to consult a map to find their way to the courthouse. The same ministers are preaching the same dull sermons they always did, and I am in hearty accord with the movement I understand is on foot to send them all to Tut's Tomb to get new ideas. Washington must be revived. The old town's respiration must be restored. Its pulse must beat again. I have a few suggestions which you may take or leave. Pulpit, school and civic organization must get behind me in this great and noble undertaking. I need the moral support of every redblooded, homeloving, Godfearing, lawabiding man and woman. Of course, I'll admit that I don't expect all of these qualities in any one individual, but if we get enough people together, maybe somewhere in the mass we might find a little bit of this and a little bit of that, and if I don't, it doesn't make much difference. Up New York way in the section known as the East Side, old grizzled women, with their heads wrapped in shawls, push baby carriages along the streets loaded with crisp, salted pretzels. People buy these pretzels and eat them, I presume. Now, my scheme is just this. Let us import these pretzels wholesale and distribute them liberally among the citizenry. If a pretzel is crushed in the hand and the crumbs sprinkled in the bed, sleeping will be very uncomfortable, so uncomfortable, in fact, that people will be forced to get up and walk the streets at night. With so many people walking the streets, enterprises investors will rush to open night clubs all along You street. This will give employment to musicians and entertainers who are now out of work. The bootleg business will increase one hundred per cent, and the police force will be able to make a decent living without depending on their meager salaries. Naturally, more people will be knocked out by bad liquor, increasing the volume of business for our physicians. Loss of sleep will make people irritable and disagreeable, and married folk who don't shoot each other outright will hasten to the divorce courts, making it quite profitable for the lawyers. From sleeping among pretzel crumbs even our teachers will be rest broken (even more so than they are now) and will be forced to take long leaves of absence, opening positions for the hundreds of Miner Normal graduates now on the waiting list, and, of course, things will grow so corrupt that the ministers who have been sprinkling pretzel crumbs in their underwear to enliven their gesticulation will band together to start a moral crusade. Now, there is nothing that adds life to a city like a good devil chasing moral crusade. By the time they get everything back to normal, we can start the pretzel campaign all over again, or, for variety, we can use soda crackers. We are sending letters to such public spirited citizens as Dr. John R. Hawkins, Dr. Kelly Miller, S. W. Rutherford and others, urging them to serve on the Pretzel Fund Committee. The drive can be opened with Congressman Oscar DePriest crushing the first pretzel on the Capitol steps. Of course, if these gentlemen are too busy with the Community Chest Drive, all subscriptions can be addressed direct to A SCRIBBLER AT LARGE By CARLTON RIVERS SCRIBBLER AT LAR By CARLTON RIVERS CLIMPSES Boston, the cafe man is wearing a cute little jacket.

The greatest dancer on Broadway, so any dancer will tell you, is Billy Pierce, a former Washingtonian.

I have seen pictures of Negroes depicted as owners of railroads and steel mills. I have seen them on the screen with homes on River-side Drive, but until a producer can show the Negro as he is today, and not as whites like to see him, in cotton and tobacco fields, shooting craps, and drinking whiskey, I shall refuse to acclaim the producer.

A PERSON CAN LIVE WITHOUT BRAINS A bullet passed through the WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY AFTER DePRIEST'S SCALP There are persistent rumors coming out of Chicago concerning two or more Negroes who plan to run for Congress to defeat Oscar DePriest. In the election which sent Mr. DePriest to Congress "Judge" Harrison deflected five thousand votes from the present Congressman which could have caused his defeat. While it is the privilege of any person to present himself to the voters for election to public office, certain practical conditions forbid reasonable men from so doing. In the present political situation three or more Negroes running for public office which requires an almost united Negro vote would so split the electorate that the only result would mean the dethronement of the present incumbent. And no sane individual would like to see the Negro race lose its only representative in the National Legislative Body. Assuming that some other gentleman of color would make a better Congressman than Mr. De Priest, what would it profit him to run when the chances are tremendously against his election? The sensible thing for those who have political ambition and statesmanship to do is to look around for other fields to conquer. To achieve high office in some other sphere would prove their intelligence and political prowess. SOUTHERN CHIVALRY They executed a woman in Alabama last week. They placed her in an electric chair and sent the death-dealing current through her body. Strong men strapped her to the chair and strong men looked on while her body jerked in its last throes of agony until death finally took its toll. The death of the woman in Alabama by electrocution last week brings the number of women executed in that state to three. The first woman was hanged in 1888; a few years later another woman died on the gallows; Friday the stalwarts of Alabama carried out the majestic letter of the law by killing a third. And in all the history of the sate of Alabama not a single white woman has been given the supreme sentence. Yet we are expected to listen enrapt to yarns about southern chivalry and southern justice. We are expected to go into ecstasies when we hear about the sanctity of womanhood—white womanhood. We can't understand it! cent of all Negroes were classified as being of nure African descent and 16 percent as of mixed African and white descent. brain of Miss Odessa Cooper of Ralligh, N.

To the Editor: Why is it that whenever a prominent man and a girl become involved in a scandal that the newspapers and the public in general seem to be bias to the man. I am not reflecting on the particular case which appeared in the columns of the Tribune last week. but in most of the cases which I know of personally the man instead of th girl was always the aggressor and trouble followed when the man grew tired of his amorous relationship and attempted to wiggle out. I would like to read the opinion of other Tribune readers on this subject. Another Girl. KIDDIES' KORNER O. LESLIE FRAZIER. Editor DO YOU LIKE TO WRITE STORIES?

A SCENE OF WHITE See yonder, o'er the meadow, And o'er the lofty hillcrest, Vast stretches of snow, Of fleecy white snow, Decking the town In a canopy of white, In a glory of white. See the sunbeams frolicking, Dancing on the snow. How lovely they do look! But oh! my scene will go My scene of white, don't go from sight. Pray linger just another night. The sunbeams triumphantly smile, My snow tries not to stay, As gradually did it come So gradually it fades away. Alas! my snow is gone, gone, gone, Now sunbeams undisturbed may play, As day draws fast to a close, I look once more for my scene of white; But all in vain, indeed in vain, My meadow is barren tonight. 402 U Street, N.W. By Caroline Howell (14) Uncle Mose, an old colored man, once said in a company of people who were talking about ghosts, that he wasn't afraid of any spirit that ever walked the earth. "No, sah," he said, "not me; I've got my fust time to be seceded of anything that's dead." Whereupon Noah Johnson told Uncle Mose that he would give him a load of corn if he could spend a night in the "Widow Smith's House." "The Widow Smith's House was said to have been haunted or in other words was filled with ghosts. "Name the night," said Uncle Mose proudly. "I'll stay dar, no ha'nts won't boder me; no, sah!" and yo corn is as good as mine now, heal 'la! The details were arranged, judge. were appointed, and Uncle Mose was to stay in the haunted house that very night. He got himself some pine knots to keep a good blaze in the old fashioned fire place, carried along an extra plug of tobacco, secured a large dry-goods box to use for a chair, and then he set out for the house. He made a blaze and seated himself on the pine box. For a time he sang a number of old plantation songs for his own amusement. About midnight feeling somewhat drowsy. WANTS SNOW REMOVED Last week brought the hardest and deepest snow we have had this winter, and now after almost a week the pavements in front of many homes are just as bad as they were the day it first fell. We slip and slide and risk our necks everytime we walk on the streets because so many residents are too lazy to sprinkle a little' ashes or apply a little elbow grease to the snow shovel. If it were not for the sun helping them out many would leave the slush there all summer, but isn't it enough to expect the sun to raise our food without working it overtime doing what we ought to have pride enough to do? Mrs. R. B. Johnson. THINKS GOD DESTROYED HIGHLAND BEACH the Editor. I was very sorry to read in the Tribune several weeks ago about the fire at Highland Beach, but it was inevitable as the Lord does not long allow places of iniquity to prosper. I have heard accounts A GHOST STORY To the Editor: To the Editor: TRIBUNITE'S PLEDGE 1. I will never use the word "nigger." 2. I will learn all that I can about the history and traditions of my Race. 3. I will use my eyes and ears to detect slander against my Race, and I will champion my Race wherever I may hear such slander. 4. I will be proud that I am a Negro because God made me one, and, being a Negro, I will do all that I can to add honor to my Race. Uncle Mose got up and went on a tour of inspection. He examined wound up his search chuckling to wound up his search chuckling to himself: "I sho is making a load of corn easy; Noah Johnson didn't kno who he was fooling wid. I am a man, I am myself; I ain't afeared uv nothing—I ain't." Down he lay on the box and pretty soon he was dozing. But it wasn't long before he suddenly awoke. He was at once seized with strange and sudden fear. He was too frightenable dto move. Although he did not look around, he was conscious that there was another presence in the room. He began to shiver. He felt a chill run up and down his back. By this time he knew that the object in the room, whatever it was, was moving towards him. Still he did not move, because he couldn't. The ghost (for that was what all the people said it was) stood over Uncle Mose for awhile, and then quietly sat down on the box beside him. Uncle Mose looked straight into the fireplace, but his heart was heating like a run-away horse. The silence in the room at that moment was like silence of death. Everything was solemn and still. Uncle Mose could hear his own heart beating. The ghost finally broke the silence by saying with a loud sigh, "Huh! hur! There doesn't seem to be but two of us here tonight!" It was then that Uncle Mose looked around for the first time. As he did so he exclaimed, "Yas, an' fum dis out dah won't be but one!" And with that he jumped through the window, taking a part of the sash with him. The judges had been waiting in the open air near the house, so as to watch the proceedings. They called to the fleeing Uncle Mose as he passed them and told him to stop. They said that they were all there, and that they were there to protect him. But Uncle Mose, as he kept on running hallowed back, "I'll see y'all later!" He ran at the top of his speed for more than a mile. Bye and bye he was so very exhausted until he was compelled to sit down. But the poor old man had no longer seated himself on a stone by the roadside than up jumps the ghosts. "Huh!" said one of the ghosts, "you seemed to be making pretty good time tonight." "Yas," said Uncle Mose, "but what I has done ain't nothing to what I use goiner do!" and up he jumped and lit out once more. He had not gone far on his second trip before an old rabbit ran out of the bushes and took out down the road ahead of him. Uncle Mose hollowed at the rabbit and said, "Git o' of my way, rabbit, and let somebody run that kin run." On and on the poor old man ran almost scared to death. After running five miles he fell unconscious. The judges found him and the first thing Uncle Mose said, "Tell Noah not to min about the load o' corn. My o' mamy always said hit was a sin to bet, and I believe it." And today, boys and girls, if you want to see a really mad man, ask Uncle Mose if he ever saw a ghost. 1697 Cumberland S.

REPORT SHOWS Auto Deaths On Increase While Tuberculosis and Alcoholism Decline Organic heart disease and nephrites led the list of causes of deaths in the District during 1929, according to the report released by the Health Department this week. In 1928 cancer stood third on the list, it dropped to fourth place last year in the causes of deaths here. Pneumonia, which was fifth in 1928, displaced cancer for third place last year. Odd as it may seem, pulmonary tuberculosis dropped from fourth place in 1928 to sixth place in 1929. The automobile as a killer rose from twelfth place in 1928 to ninth last year. Homicide remained the same, fifteenth for the last two years; and suicide dropped one point from tenth to eleventh place. Death from alcoholism was on the decline from 21st to 23rd place. NEW BOOKS ON NEGRO LIFE OFF THE PRESS Following closely the book "The Negro as a Business Man." issued by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Incorporated, two new books have just been announced. "The Rural Negro," edited by Dr. Carter G. Woodson and "The Negro Wage Earner," and by Lorenzo J. Green. To continue further the important work now being done by the Association one of the boards contributing to the uplift and education of Negroes has pledged itself to give the Association $10,000 on the condition that a similar amount be obtained from other sources. An appeal has, therefore, been made to the country in the interest of this effort to treat the records of. he Negro scientifically that the race may not become a negligible factor in the thought of the world.

(C N S)—Lynch terror continues to spread in this state against Negro workers, the situation developing to the extent that Negro workers are arrested because some anonymous writer in Wilson, N.C., wrote a card to Reidsville, N.C., where a textile mill worker was raped by a blackface person on Monday morning, January 13. More than 40 Negroes have been arrested and held for questioning, Bob Carter, the original suspect has not been located, some fear that he has already been lynched by members of the general mob while the other part of the mob continues to look for other Negro workers to lynch. Today's reports show that Sam Garland was arrested last Friday night because he "stopped wearing a cap." Arrests continue. The latest worker arrested is Lawson Higgins, 26 year old Negro, at his home in Durham, N.C., because some one mailed a card stating in effect: "Higgins wanted in Reidsville will be found at—in Durham, N.C."

The "Book of Knowledge" is a complication of facts issued by the Grolier Society and has been recommended by the school authorities of many cities as a home reference library. While no official stamp of approval has been placed on the set by the local authorities has been indorsed by many individual teachers.

SMALLWOOD The basketball game that was held at Dunbar last Saturday proved to be an interesting advent into the week-end experiment. There was a good sized crowd of students of both schools and the school spirit was in evidence much more than it is when the Dunbar tossers played during the regular school days. The final score was Dunbar 32. Howard High School, of Wilmington, Del., 27. Both teams presented brilliant playing and showed a large array of court stars. Well, at last the much awaited class of Garnet-Patterson graduates have arrived—an' how! The class numbered fifty-three. On entering Dunbar these boys and girls have selected one of the country's finest senior high schools and to further prove it, the upper classmen haven't been harsh or unjust to one of them. Stranger than fiction! However, the main reason for this is that the principal, Walter L. Smith called an assembly last Monday and Tuesday mornings to warn the students against any form of hazing. He stated that it was not a matter for his correction but for the police. On Tuesday morning he commended the boys for their response to his Washington Tribune THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1930 THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUB. CO. S orders. It was also brought to discussion the condition of the adjoining northwest corner of First and O streets. This corner has been the subject of much discussion concerning the high school students who loiter on the corner and the boys in the assembly raised a heated argument over the newspaper's attitude to the affair. From the secretary's note book we swipe a few facts concerning the announcement of the presentation of "In Arcadey" by the Senior class of Dunbar, in March. It is to be remembered that this play was given three years ago and was given a great ovation. The senior class just must have those "additional funds" so we anxiously await "Arcadey". The cast has not been made public. The essence of this statement is, however, whether or not the play will be given at Dunbar or Armstrong. We all know and have heard of Dunbar auditorium fitted out as a site for a play, so we can't wait! The All-High School Orchestra played at Howard University last Tuesday night in a recital arranged by the conductor, Mr. H. S. Grant. The program was well received. The annual inspection of the Ninth Erigade, High School Cadets took place last Tuesday afternoon. Due to the bad weather, the review, which was to have taken place on the Major James E. Walker Stadium, was held instead of in the Armory. Well, news isn't a bit scare but you've got to give the other fellow a break so I'll stop this chatter until next week. THE BEACH Will the announcement of Richard Ware, that he will re-erect his hotel which was destroyed by fire two weeks ago, throw Highland Beach into turmoil? Picture at right shows Haley G.
