LEGACY LEFT BY GREAT FOUNDER SQUANDERED
Gave all for Love Says Booker T. Jr. But Price Was Too Great
LOS ANGELES, Cal. Feb. 28.
(By A.N.P.) Out of the broken heart of a saddened man, who claims that he has been made wiser, there appeared this week on the front page of the Pacific Defender the story of a long-suffering, bitter love, that had for its principals the son of one of the greatest of American Negroes and the daughter of a wily gambler. This much the story tells.
The hero of the tragic tale is Booker T. Washington, Junior.
The heroine is the former dashing Nettie Hancock, who later became Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Jr.
"My ideal for women has always been great, although my life as a married man has been very unhappy," he writes. "I still believe there are real women who would appreciate a home and children. In my young life I pictured many happy days with real romance. I saw nothing for the future but happy days for my wife and myself. I visualized so many things for the future, things that would make any two people happy. But those visions are shattered now; those hopes are gone, and I am only a shell of my old self."
Nothing But Pain

MASTER CROOK IS CAUGHT ON COAST; ESCAPES AGAIN
Con Man Who Escaped Prison Here, Traced to Los Angeles, Gone Again
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (Special to the Washington Tribune)—Clinton T. Flanagan, notorious confidence man who is said to have fleeced prominent Washingtonians out of considerable sums and later escaped from Lorton Prison after his conviction two years ago, has been placed under arrest here and is being held for the Capital police.
EXTRA
Clinton T. Flanagan escaped from the Los Angeles Police, Inspector William S. Shelby of the Metropolitan Police told the Tribune today.
Flanagan, who has been operating here as a real estate agent and has been connected with other enterprises of a shady nature, was placed under arrest upon information forwarded by the Washington Police. It is thought here that Detective Paul Jones, well known Washington detective, was instrumental in bringing about the arrest of Flanagan.
Friends Aided Escape
Flanagan escaped from Lorton Prison in Virginia, on March 20, 1928, and his whereabouts has been a mystery for the past two years. He had served only two months of a four-year sentence when he effected his escape. It was thought at the time that friends were awaiting him on the Washington-Richmond highway and spirited him away under cover of darkness.
Sold Warneid House
Flanagan was convicted for forging the name of Mrs. William O. Warfield, wife of the surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, to a document which conveyed her home at 1901 Eleventh street, to another. For this deal Flanagan, who represented himself as a realator in the transaction used the services of an unidentified female accomplice. The cheat was discovered and he was captured, and he was arrested before he could skip town with the money from the sale.
Escaped. Then Nabbed
Escapee, Tiah Naboo
Flanagan escaped from the city while released on bail, jumping his bond. He was then traced to New York and brought back by Detective Jones and convicted.
Outhoovers Hoover
Although President Hoover failed to appoint a Negro on his regular commission to investigate conditions in Haiti, Major Robert R. Moton, who was appointed to select a "jim crow" commission to investigate the educational facilities of the Island, appointed a white man, Leo M. Favrob, of Louisiana, as one of the members, thereby outhevering Hoover.
Dog Jailed With Master
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (ANP)
—When Alfred Docket was arrested with five others in a raid of an alleged speakeasy at 402 N. Tennessee avenue, his dog quietly slipped into the police patrol and rode to headquarters.
Docker was booked and led to a cell with the dog at his heels. The turnkey objected but was prevailed upon by Docker to allow the dog to remain.

BROWN SKIN GIRL TOOK PREACHER HUBBY, SAYS WIFE
Claiming her minister husband is one of the meanest men in the world and naming Miss Beatrice Brown the cause of her spouse's attitude, Mrs. David L. Miles, 442 Eighth street, northwest, filed suit for a limited divorce against the Rev. David L. Miles in Equity Court, Monday.
Mrs. Miles sets forth in her plea that Miss Brown came to live with them eight years ago and during that time the Rev. Miles has had clandestine meetings with her and takes her out for rides in his car. Mrs. Miles says although she slept in the same bed with her husband he refused to speak to her. The couple has been married 10 years, and as a result of the union they have two children, a boy and a girl, age three and two, respectively. The Rev. Miles has not had

White Man's Weakness for Brown Girl Costs 30 Days
NORFOLK, Va.>While the Virginia General Assembly was busy passing another racial integrity bill to prevent amalgamation an elderly gray headed white man who gave his name as John T. Miches was haled into court because of weakness for brownskin girls. The weakness was Miss Mamie Barrera, 19, who with her elder lover was jailed for 30 days after police raided her home and found them on too familiar terms.
Girls Haven't Worn Dresses For 4 Yrs. But Like Paint and Powder
Believe it or not, but at least two women have been found who are not eternally buying pretty clothes. They are Mrs. Frances and Miss Fleetwood Williams, wife and sister respectively of Nebraska Williams, internationally known globe trotter, who stopped over in Washington this week on their journey around the world.
The young women admit that they have not worn feminine attire for the past four years, since they started on their spherical promenade in 1926. Coarse knickers, middy blouses of khaki, and heavy-knee-length, heavy soled boots of stoutest leather, have adorned their feet instead of the dainty satin and allegator skin that milady wears.
The eternal feminine however, arises to keep them from relinquishing their right to powder their noses, rouge their cheeks and keep their hair bobbed.

CLINTON T. FLANAGAN, politie confidence man, put into force the saying "On again, off again, gone again, Flanagan," when he escaped from Los Angeles police, who were holding him for Washington authorities. He has already skipped from Lorton prison in Virginia, and from New York police.

BAD BRIDGEWORK MAY COST DENTIST $500 DAMAGES
BAD BRIDGEWORK MAY COST DENTIST $500 DAMAGES
Mrs. Wittie Wilson Sues Dr. Fitzhugh Reid for "Negligent Work"
Mrs. Wittie Wilson, 750 Harvard street, northwest, filed suit for $500 damages against Dr. Fitzhugh L. Reid, 715 Harvard street, northwest, last week in the Municipal Court of the District of Columbia. In her bill Mrs. Wilson declares that she suffered mentally and physically as a result of "careless, negligent, unskilled and defective workmanship" by Dr. Reid, who fitted an upper bridge in her mouth about September 18, 1929.
Through her attorney, A. S. Pinkett, Mrs. Wilson says Dr. Reid "while holding himself out to the public as a surgeon dentist, did make the plates on the above date. The work was done with such lack of skill and care as to greatly damage her, as the plate did not fit properly or remain in position, and finally the plate was ground so fine and thin in the various attempts to make it fit that it was cracked near the middle. Despite this fact Dr. Reid between the dates of August and January examined her mouth and urged her to continue wearing the plate.
Got Another Dentist
She says his advice was followed, but the plate continued to give her such pain and it remained so uncomfortable that she was forced to abandon its use and seek the advice of another dentist for relief from her suffering.
Because of the financial loss sustained by the plaintiff through the carelessness of Dr. Reid, Mrs. Wilson asks $500 damages and the cost of the suit. The case is scheduled to come to trial on March 4.
Woman Seriously Injured
Miss Susie Eliott, 29, 8 E. Lenox street, Chevy Chase, Md., was struck down and seriously injured Monday night at 18th and Florida avenue, northwest.

Renan Sancho.

Denies Borno Insult to Negro Race
Raoul Lizaire, secretary of the Haitian legation and charge d'affairs ad interim, issued a statement last week denying that President Borno had asked President Hoover not to appoint a Negro on the Haitian commission.
Mr. Lizaire denied that any suggestion of this kind had been made. He stated that the Haitian was very desirous of encouraging a closer contact with the American Negro and that Haiti was very appreciative of the services rendered that country by Negro ministers sent by various Presidents of the United States.
In speaking of the educational commission, he stated if the commission confines its investigation to the middle class group, they will accomplish much good. He said that the upper class Haitian will never embrace industrial education. This group he stated send their children to France for their training and that their culture is basically Latin and French.

Police Seek Fiend Who Slashed Woman Beyond Recognition
Police are searching today for James Hatton, 40, address unknown, who hacked to death Clara Mathews, 30, of 709 Barry Place, northwest, Wednesday night about 2:30.
According to police reports, Hatton was in a rear room of the above house with the Mathews woman, when a fight started between them.

NEWLY-WED OF 3 DAYS KILLED IN AUTO SMASH-UP
Robert Craig Fatally Injured While Wife and Children Seriously Hurt
Robert Craig, 23, of 341 Mary land avenue, southwest, is dead and his bride of three days, Mrs. Eunice Craig, and her daughter Hilda, of a previous marriage, are seriously injured in the Freedmen's Hospital following a headon collision in which the honeymoon car crashed into another vehicle on the Baltimore highway, on Saturday morning.
According to police, Craig was driving to Washington from Baltimore, when he suddenly encountered an auto coming in the opposite direction just below Laurel. The two cars crashed head on. Craig was thrown through the windshield of his car, and sustained a fractured skull, crushed left face, gouging out of the left eye, and severely bruising the right severely lacerated lip, internal injuries, and hemorrhages, and a broken nose. He succumbed two days later, after surgeons had exhausted every effort to save his life.
Mrs. Craig was thrown bodily through the car, and received a dislocated spine, broken arm and probable internal injuries, while her daughter, Hilda, age 10, sustained a broken collar bone. Two other children received minor injuries about the body. The couple had been married only three days. The whereabouts of the other car, the occupants of which are thought to be white, is not known. The injured victims were given first aid by a Laurel physician and brought to the Freedmen's Hospital by students of the University of Maryland. The accident is being investigated by Maryland and Washington authorities.
WOMAN DIES ON WAY TO HOSPITAL HERE
Mrs. Cora Lee Bane, 30, 1714 Rhode Island avenue, northwest, was taken suddenly ill and rushed to Freedmen's Hospital, Monday morning. She was pronounced dead on arrival by Dr. A. H. Dibble, of the hospital staff. Dr. J. Ramsey, Nevitt issued a certificate of death due to natural causes.
Preached Same Sermon 800 Times, Church Balks
KINSTON, N. C.—Because he had preached the same sermon seven times an ultimatum was served on the Rev, Thomas Z. Smith by the Jones County Congregation advising him to get a new sermon. The pastor admitted that he had learned this sermon by heart and had peached it 800 times throughout the state.
N.C. Hospital on the Block
WILSON, N.C. (ANP)—The local hospital for Negroes went on the auction block here Tuesday and was sold for $6,000 to Wade H. Gardner. The sale was made under a deed of trust executed by O. N. Freeman. The much needed institution was secured several years ago by J. D. Reid, active vice-president of the defunct Commercial Bank, who has been sentenced to serve five years at hard labor in the state prison. For years it has relieved the hospitalization condition faced by the group, but like many other institutions where much charity work is done the income was not sufficient to meet the expenses.

COOKING TENDER
curs
Select one of the tender steaks
from 1% to 2 inches thick. Trim
the steak of excess fat and wipe
it off with a damp cloth. A steak
may be broiled by direct heat or
it may be broiled in a skillet.
To broil by direct heat, grease the
rounds of a rack, lay the steak
on it, and place over live coals, or
under an electric grill, or the flame
of a gas oven.
If a gas oven is used, have the
steak 2 or 3 inches below the
flame. Best results are usually ob-
tained by leaving the door open.
Sear on one side and then turn,
being careful not to pierce the
brown crust. When both sides are
seared, reduce the heat, and turn
the steak occasionally until cook-
ed to the desired aoe
~ To pan-broil a steak, sear it on
both sides in a lightly greased,
sizzling hot skillet, then reduce
the temperature and cook to the
desired stage, turning’ the meat to
insure even cooking. Do not add
water and do not cover. From
time to time pour off accuriulated
fat so that the steak wilt Ret fry.
A thick steak after searing ‘may
be successfully finished in a hot
oven (450° F.) Slip 2 rack under
the steak in the skillet, and the
‘meat will cook evenly without be-
Ang turned. This is a convenivnt
arrangement, for a full attention
may then be given to other Jast-
“minute preparations for the meal.

No definite time can be given
for cooking a steak because of va-

| Nathan Alpert, 600 I sireet,
southeast, 17-year-old Western Un-
‘ion messenger boy, was held under
$300 bond in police court Friday
for an attempted assault on a four-
year-old girl.
The little girl's name is with-
held because of her age.
‘According to the child's mother,
Alpert came to the house, which
is an apartment, fo deliver’ a tele-
gram. When he left, the mother
missed the child and opened the
door of her apartment, which is,on
the second floor. She heard a
noise under the steps on the first
floor, and saw the boy coming
from the back of the hall with the
child following him and crying.
Child Tells Mother
When the little girl was ques-
tioned she told her mother what
had happened. She immediately
went to the Eighth street office of
the company and told the manager
what had happened. The manager
promised to send a an physi-
cian to examine the child, but was
reluctant about it when he learned
the girl was colored,
The mother reported the matter
to the Woman's Bureau, as the
child is a ward of the Public Wel-
fare and the mother a widow. A
warrant was secured for the boy,
and he was hailed into court. His
father told how the boy had only
three days before secured the job
as messenger and came home on
the day of the alleged attempted
assault and said he had been laid
off. He had been fired.
Freedmen’s Refuses to Talk
The child was taken to Freed-
men’s Hospital, where she was ex-
amined but no evidences of assault
were obtained, it was learned.
Freedmen’s Hospital physician re-
fused to give out any information
on the girl when called by a Tri-
bune reported, and Dr. Warfield
could not he reached. | *
The mother said Freedmen’s doc-
tors not only refused to give her @
satisfactory answer to. her. ques
tions, but she was shifted from
one to the other until she wag
finally forced to leave without
knowing if her child had been
raped. She said Freedmen’s doc-
tors were afraid of beine called in-
to court.

A WORD OF THANKS
We, the parents and relatives of
the late Emma Louise Peters, wish
to thank the many friends, class mates, and students for the kind sympathy rendered to our family by them. It is with grief that we think of our dear child going to the Great Beyond just after passing her fifteenth birthday, but our Heavenly Father knows best.
1930
Emma Louise was born December 17, 1914 at Pearlington, Mississippi, and with her parents and relatives came to Washington in 1924. She entered Cleveland School and was later transferred to the Slater Langston School, where she graduated in February, 1928, going to the Dunbar
High School. She was entering the last half of her third year at Dunbar when she died February 13, 1930. Her death was due to a fall on the ice during the bad slippery weather.
She was kind and loving to all of her relatives, friends and associates, a diligent worker in her Sunday school at Asbury Church. She was secretary of the senior department at her death.
Emma was of a poetical nature, always putting into words and rhythm her thoughts.

Women's Club Loses Gift Piano
When the building at Twelfth and O streets, northwest, was dedicated by the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs as their national headquarters, nearly two years ago, a piano was presented to the headquarters presumably by the District Federated Clubs, of which Mrs. Madre Marshall is president.
It proved a boomerang about two weeks ago when Mrs. Jesse Lawson, from whom the piano was gotten, but who alleges was not paid for, had it removed, leaving the supposed gift of the District Federation a blank and the headquarters is minus a piano.
The piano was essential for the programs given along with the tea parties. Now there is no piano and tea party programs must go on minus the music.
Jews Resist T. B. Best
NEW ORLEANS, La. (ANP) The death rate from tuberculosis is higher among the Irish than any other white racial group, a fact substantiated by the high mortality in Boston which is twenty-five per cent Irish. The Negro, once he has contracted the disease, is twice as apt to succumb as is the white man. The Jew seems better able to combat it than any other nationality.

Armstrong and Dunbar are Deadlocked In City Basketball Race
POETS UPSET DOPE BY BEATING TECH IN CLOSE GAME
In a contest fraught with thrills from bell to bell the Poets of Dunbar upset the dope pail and lambasted the Technen of Armstrong in the second game of the city series as well as a South Atlantic High School Conference contest before over 1000 fans in the former's gym, Monday by a score of 22 to 20.
The score see-sawed from the beginning until the whistle ended the fray with the decision in doubt until the last moment. Dunbar, led by one point at the close of the first quarter. The score was 4-3. At the half the count was in a deadlock at eight all and when the third quarter ended the Perkin men were leading by the slim margin of 12 to 11.
Teams in Series Deadlock
This contest throws Armstrong and Dunbar into a tie for first place in both the city series and the South Atlantic High School conference. In the first series each team has won and lost one and in the latter each has won four and lost one.
Dunbar meets Cardozo Friday and a win by the Poets will put them in first position in both loops.
Dunbar had a slight edge in making foul shots as the Perkinnen shot six out of 10 while Armstrong made eight out of 15.
Green, Wallace Star
Green of Dunbar and Wallace of Armstrong were the outstanding performers for their respective quints. Green shot four baskets from the court while Wallace looped a like number and four out of five free tosses.
"Windy" Wallace gave the Techman the lead at the beginning of the first half by caging a doubledecker and a foul from the 15-foot line. Green added one for Dunbar making the score 3-2 with Armstrong the favorite. Gregg hooked a pretty shot from the court to give Dunbar a 4-3 lead as the quarter ended.
Score See-Saw
Dunlap came thru with a neat shot from under the cords to give the Techmen the advantage by one point at the beginning of the second quarter. Green put Dunbar in the lead by a single maker to make the score 6-5 for his team. Wallace was fouled and made the toss to deadlock the score at six all. Wallace again put Armstrong into the lead with a deuce spot from the floor and Howard tied the works at eight all as the half ended.
With both teams fighting nip and tuck with first one then the other gaining the ascendcy the Poets emerged 12-11 at the end of the third quarter. Going into the last session Parker and Green tallied from the floor to put Dunbar in the van 15-11 when the Armstrong men called time out to rally their forces. Coming back with renewed energy Wallace made a difficult shot from the floor to make the score read 15-13 with Dunbar holding the whip hand. Parker added a point from the foul line and Green found the cords for the fourth time to put Dunbar into the lead and the game on ice. The game was rough at times and it was all Referee Jacob could do to keep the play free from fouls. Bland was put out of the game in the third quarter and his place was taken by Leroy Wallace.

West Virginia Champions To Meet Armstrong Mar. 3
The Klimball West Virginia high school basketball champions will meet the Armstrong quint in an intersectional game here in the Howard gymnasium on March 3. With a record of finals in four state tournaments out of six, and with eight victories and one defeat this year, the Mountain tossers will demand all the skill and wiggling of the Techites at their best to prevent adding another loss to the only one for the home team this season, that of Monday, against Dunbar in their second game.
Last year, the Klimball team won 18 out of 22 games played, while the Armstrong boys won the intersectional tourney at Hampton, following a series of straight victories except against the Douglass High of Baltimore.

As I understand it there will be a shake-up in high school circles next year. According to rumor a break is predicted between Baltimore and Washington. The signs show that the two cities after years of competitive sports, will sever athletic relations because the referees and umpires fail to agree on the interpretation of some of the rules.
Washington arbiters are all members of the Eastern Board of Officials, an organized body which meets from time to time to discuss the new rules and come to a common understanding as to how these rules are to be enforced. I learn that Baltimore has set up a separate body and the men in the Monumental City have put a different meaning on the rules and consequently when two men from Baltimore and Washington meet in a game there is considerable discension as to the meaning of certain rules.
Of course the players hearing of this readily take advantage of the situation one way or the other.

The Eastern Board of Officials is the first body among Negroes to really come together for the common good of the game. Baltimore was at one time a member of this association, but as time went on they withdrew and held their own meetings and put their own interpretation on rules. I think if the Baltimore body cannot attend the Washington meetings some representative from that city ought to be present and later discuss the rules with his organization as explained in the Washington association. The same can be done here when the Baltimore body meets in their city. In this way there will be complete harmony among officials in all games.

Eddie Blake, of the B.A.A., was the victor over Edwards, who seemed to have held something in reserve for the final dash, but found that the Boston white boy also had plenty in reserve to match him.
Though Edwards lost in the special 600-yard feature, the only other colored entrant, Constantine Satchabell, the Brighton High School, came through with colors flying to win the 40-yard dash over a field of speedy runners. He was just a fraction of a second away from the meed record.
Satchabell, who is track leader of his school, has won every event in which he has participated since entering the school.

CHANEY WHITE TO MANAGE GIANTS
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (ANP)
—Chaney White, fleet-footed center-fielder of the Bacharach Giants, looms as the leading candidate for the management of the Bees this year, according to a statement by Isaac Washington, owner of the team, Thursday.
Washington's statement regarding his plans for the 1930 edition of the Bees were rather vague, but he said that White was a good man to manage the club and that he was pretty sure that he would be in charge.
Washington said that since the American Negro League had disbanded the Bees will have to play independent ball this year, also that professional baseball of the independent variety would not be supported in Atlanta City and that he might make a road team of the Bacharach Giants, if he could organize a first-class outfit; if not that he might "toss up the sponge."
The Cardozo Business high defeated the Armstrong Night School team recently by a score of 42 to 19.

UNION EASY FOR HAMPTON QUINT
HAMPTON, Va.—With an insouciance born of marked superiority, the Hampton cagers romped around the Union Panthers and squelched them with ease Saturday, 32-13.
There was an air of earnestness surrounding Union which gradually became tinged with an apparent spirit of fatalistic abandon, making one feel that had they settled down with a mere dogged spirit they could have atoned, in a measure, for their lack of speed and accuracy. But a half of continual reverse and Hampton's continual success effectually wetted an already dampened aspiration.
Of all the points which Union had at halftime, Breaux and Pasteur each scored from the field in the second quarter, the latter shot being exceptionally brilliant from a swift pass: Breaux to Ellis, a rebound from Ellis' attempted shot, and a swift cut and follow through by Pasteur. Of Hampton's points Gates netted eight, Lancaster, Hunt and Taylor two each, and Coles and Carter one free throw apiece. During the second half every man on Hampton's team received a break and fourteen additional points were scored. Cotton went in after half and rung up six points before he was removed in the eleventh minute for the return of Hunt.
The last five minutes, had Union not been so greatly out-stripped, could have been an excellent opportunity for a rally; but even in the face of Hampton's all-sub team Pasteur alone scored from the field and both parties were ready to drop the matter when the whistle sounded on a 32-13 tally.
Dragons Wallop Panthers
The Dragons defeated the Elite Panthers in a fast game Wednesday on the floor of the Garnet-Patterson Junior High school gym by a score of 35 to 22. Captain Herbert and Tolliver of the winners with 11 and 15 points respectively were the high scorers of the game.

LIONS COME FROM BEHIND TO WIN
By Paul Terry
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Lincoln Lions, after trailing the city leaders, the Peerless Club, for the first half, overcame an eleven point lead to win handily the second half by the score, 37-22. This lead was gained by the Peerless Club because of the splendid way they would execute the pivot play. The feeding to Boust and cutting by "Chick" Davis, Bush and Moore was superb.
The "Lions" came back in the second half to overcome this point advantage and with ten minutes to go were leading by one point. At this interval unsportsmanlike tactics by Boust of the Peerless Club caused a free-for-all milling. No doubt this gave the Lincoln team an added determination to win. Before Davis and Bush of the Peerless went out via personal foul route, Lincoln had gained an eleven-point lead.
The Cardozo Clerks, scheduled the "dark horse" of the series, lost three of their star performers early in the season thru sickness and graduation.

WILBERFORCE WINS ROUGH TILT FROM WEST VIRGINIA
WILBERFORCE, O.—In a game replete with fouls and roughing, the Wilberforce University quintet defeated West Virginia State College 27 to 14, Friday in Beacon Gym.
Gibbs started the scoring for Wilberforce in the first minute of play when he sank a long one from the middle of the floor; on a foul by Clark Willet registered the first point for West Virginia at the beginning of the game which was West Virginia's lone marker until the last five minutes of the first half; the half ended 18-5 in favor of Wilberforce.
Garte Rough
The second half opened up rough, the going getting tougher with Lucas and Gibbs dropping shots with monotonous regularity. Clark for Wilberforce and Giles for West Virginia were ejected from the game on personal fouls; substitution of Nash for Woods and Ross for Whitted by Coach Hamlin failed to stem the Green and Gold tide.
With five minutes to play and the score 26-14, Coach Graves sent in every reserve on the squad; West Virginia was able to hold them to one extra point.
Wilberforce's passing combination was only excelled by their guarding, West Virginia got position for but few shots they failed to make. Crisp was high man for Wilberforce with 7 points; Willett for West Virginia with 9 points. West Virginia registered 11 personal fouls to 10 for Wilberforce. Wilberforce made 5 free throws out of 11 trys; West Virginia made 4 out of 10 attempts.
Crisp, Freshman from Gary, Ind. received his first real home floor test at center, holding Willett to a one point lead; Clark in his play at guard proved his utility as a floorman.

HOWARD BREAKS TRIPLE TIE FOR SECOND TIME
Howard 8 2 .800
Lincoln 7 2 .778
Hampton 7 2 .778
Howard's defeat at the hands of Lincoln University at Orange, N.J. last Saturday threw the C. I. A. A. basketball conference into a triple tie for the second time this season, and for the second time this season the Bisons broke the tie by beating an association team.
The Burren defeated Virginia State College Thursday of this week to gain the edge in the race by one game. Tonight Howard meets Hampton and if the Hilltoppers emerge on the long end they will be two games ahead of the resist of the leading teams.
Tonight's game will be the last home tilt Howard will play this year. A game has been scheduled with Lincoln in New York on March 7 and two game are pending with Bluefield on March 12 and West Virginia on March 13. Both of these contests will be away from home.
One of the games played with Lincoln will not be counted a C. L. A. A. contest as only two association games are played between the schools. The third is under the auspices of the Lincoln Alumni and is not considered a conference tilt.

The Y. M. C. A. basketball team lost a spectacular extra period game to Shiloh Tuesday night by a score of 21 to 18. The Shiloh cagers led by Coles who scored 10 points, were leading the "Y" at the half by a basket.
At the start of the second half, both teams played spiritually. From this stage the lead constantly shifted with never more than a goal separating the teams.
Starting the third period, Shiloh got two floor goals to gain a two point lead. It was a neat side-court shot by Robinson that enabled the "Y" to knot the count. During the extra period, goals by Coles and Williams gave Shiloh the margin which was never headed.
Jeffries the fighting center of the "Y" team played a snappy game and led the "Y" attack with nine points, while Coles was ahead for Shiloh with ten points. This is the second league game the "Y" has lost to Shiloh.

LINCOLN WINS IN OVERTIME PERIOD FROM H. U. BISONS
ORANGE, N.J. (Special)—In an extra session game Saturday, Lincoln University defeated Howard's basketball team with a score of 25-21. The game was sponsored by the North Jersey Howard alumni and was attended by 1,500 Lincoln-Howard fans.
The Bisons began scoring when after four minutes of cautious play Harris slipped through the Lion defense, dribbed the ball to the basket and scored a goal. Lincoln was unable to hold the ball because of a fumble or a wild pass. In their bewilderment, Taylor, Howard's sub-center, scored two more points before Jackson, Lion forward, put his team into the scoring column with a neat angle shot.
Lions Overtake Bisons Harris, Howard's captain, followed Taylor's example and dribbled repeatedly through the Lincoln team, being fouled by his pursuers. As a result, he scored five threewings in succession. With the score 9-4 in Howard's favor, the Lions came to life and through the clever shooting of Avery and De-Costa, overtook the Bison with a one-point lead. Harris scored twice from the foul line, enabling the Bisons to lead by the slim margin of a single point as the half ended.
Score Tied
The second half opened with fast floor work on behalf of both teams, with Lincoln showing surprising stamina. As a result the Lions ran up 9 points, while Howard gathered 5. With four minutes to go the Bisons recovered and tied the score at 19 all. Avery shot a basket which sent the Lions ahead by two points, which everybody thought was the last shot of the game, but Howard secured possession of the ball and a long, hard pass to Smith, who from a difficult angle flipped the ball through the net, leaving the score at tie, with only 15 seconds to go.
Ends in Deadlock
The game ended in a tie score of 21-21. In the third minute of the overtime period, Hall took the ball from tap off, dribbled madly down the floor and shot for the basket, but the ball rolled around the brim and fell on the outside. Lincoln recovered and the sensational basket by Smith and two points from the foul line by Ridley gave the Lions a well-earned four-point margin.
One notable feature of the game was Lincoln's close guarding which enabled Howard to get only four field goals, a duplication of the feat in Washington, when Howard collected only three field goals during the entire game, although losing by a score of only 25-26.
To Play in New York
Fortunate for Howard, this was an extra game under the auspices of neither institution, and therefore does not figure in the C.I.A.A. rating. Lincoln's return game with Howard will be played in New York on March 7, which will no doubt be the crucial game in deciding the C.I.A.A. championship, as Lincoln has lost two in the C.I.A.A. series, and Howard only one.

HOMESTEAD GRAYS SIGN OSCAR CHARLES, JUDY JOHNSON AND PAUL STEVEN, ACES OF HILLDALE CLUB, FOR SEASON
VA. STATE BOWS TO GARNET.PATTERS'N HOWARD BISONS 21-17 BOWS TO PHELPS
(Special Correspondent)
PHILADELPHIA—The American Negro Baseball League in session here Monday agreed to disband the loop and from now on every club will play independent baseball.
This break was predicted in the Washington Tribune two weeks ago and the prophecy came true when the owners decided to dispense with the league after many hours of debate. The Tribune also predicted that the Hildale club would be out of the running and this came true when Ed Bolden, Hildale owner, announced that his lease on the Darby, Pa., park had expired. This leaves Hildale without a place to play. Efforts are being made by the club to secure home grounds.
Grays Grab Stars
Grays Grab Stars
The Homestead Grays, of Pittsburgh, announced early in the meeting that the club would not be in the league this season. Cumberland Posey, boss of the Grays, also threw a bombshell in baseball ranks when he made known his roster for the year. He has included Oscar Charleston, Judy Johnson and Paul Stevens, all Hilldale aces. He has practically wrecked the Darby clan with this wholesale raid.
Bolden Gives Statement
Ed Bolden, president of the defunct league, gave out the following statement at the meeting:
"C. Posey, of the Homestead Grays, reputed champions, found league baseball too tough and decided to go back to the independent game around Western Pennsylvania and Ohio, where the go-
Coming from behind a 11-8 score at half time to deadlock the count at 14 all in the second period the Howard University basketball team ran up seven more points before the whistle ended the game to defeat Virginia State College, of Petersburg, Va., in the former's gym here Thursday night by a score of 21 to 17.
State had a 9-3 lead at one time, but was lived when the combination of Beasley, Syphax and Hall got going on all eight. This battery began a rapid fire barrage that soon cut this lead to 9-8.
Coach Martin started with his second string squad, but sent vets into the fray about the middle of the second session. They fared worse than his subs as the Howard gunmen beat a steady tatto at the nets that sent the score skyward.
C. Johnson, Van Pelts and Robinson were the stars for the Virginia lads while "Sallie" Hall, Beaseley, Syphax and Williams were the bison leaders.

ing is easier.
"League ball in Atlantic City is a thing of the past according to Isaae Washington, of the Bacharach Giants, and Alex Pompez, of the Cuban Stars, did not come over from New York. The Cubans are not a home team, however.
"James J. Keenan, of the Lincoln Giants, of New York, and George Rossiter, of the Baltimore Black Sox, both were present and announced that they will continue to operate. Hilldale may have an independent team conducted by Ed Bolden, who still has a love for baseball, but not for the high salaries which has ruined the league.
Salaries Wreck Loop
"The Negro teams are going thru the same spell encountered by the white clubs seven or eight years ago. At that time infielders received from $25 to $500 and outfielders from $275 to $400 with some pitchers getting $500 to $1,000 per month.
"Now the same players perform for from $5 to $10 per game and the readjustment will no doubt find Negro baseball on a better basis, at least for the team owners, this season."
Umpiring Blamed
In the opinion of those qualified to comment upon the above report, they proffered the opinion that the failure of the league was not due principally to the high salaries paid stars but more so to the inefficient umpiring, the unbalanced schedule, and the lack of a binding working code in regards to imposing fines and maintaining discipline on players.

The Phelps Vocational Mechanics doubled the score on Garnet-Patterson Junior High basketers in the latters' gym, Thursday evening, to win by a final decision of 10 to 5.
The Junior High tossers scored one point in the first quarter, none in the second, two in the third, and a like number in the last minute of play when Sullivan sank a goal in from the sidelines. A foul shot by Thompson in the first quarter ended the scoring for Garnet-Patterson in that session. Tobias was easily the star for Phelps as he tallied twice from the court and as many times from the 15-foot line. Garnet-Patterson missed 10 free shots out of 11. They had a baffling pass combination, but fell down on many set-ups that looked like sure goals.

Extolling athletics as a means of developing manhood, the Letter Club held a special assembly of boys, on Wednesday. William Sparks spoke on the manly virtues of the game of football, emphasizing the benefits of team-work. Franklin Gregg treated basketball at Armstrong, giving a personal glimpse of what the game has done for him in citizenship training. Alfred Jackson made an appeal for greater interest in baseball. Wilbur Walace treated swimming activities, commenting on their physical importance and showed benefits of the local public swimming pools. Coach Holmes pointed to the mental and physical development derived from playing tennis. The club pledged itself 100 per cent to the character building program of the building.

Mr. Manning sacrificed his home, wife and children, fortune and a future to champion the Negro's cause.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE FRIDAY. FEBRUARY 28. 1930
CARDOZO THROWS SMITH SOFT FOR SCARE INTO TECH MORGAN TOSSERS
Along came Cardozo Friday and threw a big scare into the ranks of the Armstrong basketball team that sent the Techmen into a wild scramble while Coach Westmoreland stood on the sidelines and scratched his head as he had visions of his quint dropping into a twin deadlock with Lunbar for the city title and a triple tie for the South High School Conference crown.
After a thrilling battle the league leading Techmen managed to come out on top of a 27 to 22 score.
Tech Sitting Pretty
The Armstrong tossers had everything their own way the first half and ended the session sitting atop a 15 to 1 decision. A lone foul shot by Cunningham was all the Clerks could muster during this period.
Confident of which way the wind was blowing Coach Westmoreland sent his second team in to start the second half. Before you could say jack rabbit Evans and Harlan had found their shooting eyes and when the third period ended the score was 17 to 11 with Armstrong in the van, but the Clerks going like a house a-fire.
Send For Regulars
Send For Regulars
The Armstrong menter sent an S. O. S. for his first string men and rushed them back on the firing line. However, the regulars fared little better as there was no stopping the sharp shooters of Cardozo with Harlan and Cunningham popping goals from every angle of the court. A last minute barrage by Carter, Dunlap and Wallace, aces of the Technen, was the only thing that saved the champs as the Clerks were out to throw a monkey wrench into the title race and tie up the whole works.
The gunners of Armstrong proved better marksmen and their ability to find the cords when points were needed saved the team from disaster. Armstrong fell down on foul shooting, the team missed 14 out of 20 shots from the foli line while Cardozo made six out of 12 or a fifty per cent average.
RENS HAVE EASY TIME WITH ACTORS
RENS HAVE EASY TIME WITH ACTORS
The champion Renaissance basketball team, of New York, had an easy romp over the Lightman Actors last Thursday on the court of Murray's Casino and when the smoke of battle had cleared the champs still retained their prestage by winning handily, 45 to 36. A brilliant and baffling passing attack marked the play of the New Yorkers in the closing session as they kept the Actors chasing the ball in circles. "Slim" Henderson, basketball player of parts, came home and donned the uniform of the Lightman Five. Henderson played against his mates the week before when he came here in the lineup of the Baltimore Athenians. "Slim" accounted for three baskets during the game and shot one foul for a total of seven points.
Easy Pickings
To show the fans what they could do if necessity demanded it the Renaissance tossers grabbed and early lead in the first half and held it at will. At the half time the visitors were leading 29 to 16 and another period during the first half the local quint were trailing a 21 to 8 count. After finding the Actors "easy" the champs were contented to take their time and keep 10 or 12 points ahead.
When the Actors scored a point the champs would tally two just to let you know they could do it. Cooper, center for the Renaissance, looped five baskets while "Fats" Jenkins made six and three fouls. Hope and "Slim" Thomas, of the Lichtman five, led their team with five goals each while the latter tossed in a free throw. Both quints played by professional rules.

Gans Wins Another
NEW YORK (ANP)—Baby Joe Gans, the sensational wetterweight, long regarded as the colored champion of the division, won an easy victory here tonight, meeting Billy Drake, a substitute, at the Olympia Club. The fight was pretty even until a hard right by Gans closed his opponent's left eye in the fifth round. In the following round Gans closed-Drake's right eye, ending the fight.
BALTIMORE, Md. (Special—Morgan College had everything its own way here Wednesday when the bears outclassed Johnson C. Smith University on the court of the New Albert Auditorium by a score of 54 to 31.
Smith opened with a bang and ran up a 4-0 advantage in the first few minutes of play. The Bears soon struck their stride and with six minutes remaining of the first half, the reserves were inserted, who protected and added to the 19-8 score gained by the varsity. The score at half time was 27-13.
The second half found the reserves starting, but with the score 29-16 the varsity was injected, shooting at will to make a final count of 54-31.
The Morgan teams functioned well, high scoring honors going to Captain Jones, of the locals, with 16 points. For the visitors Avant and Houston performed best.
BASKETBALL
BASKETBALL
Armstrong's basketball team bowed for the first time this season to a high school team when Dunbar won a close game Monday.
Among the spectators at the Armstrong-Dunbar game Monday were Principal Walter Smith, of Dunbar, and Principal David Houston, of Armstrong. Both shook hands before the game. Both sat in their receptive sections during the contest.
Armstrong and Cardozo will meet in their second game in the city series on March 7.
If Coach Westmoreland has two, three or a dozen teams on the court he only used one Monday and that one stayed in the game during the whole tilt except for two substitutions who were delegated to the bench and the o. I sent back.
Leroy Wallace was the only substitute Dunbar made and he went in for Bland who had to retire on four personal fouls. Leroy Wallace is not related to "Windy" Wallace, Armstrong star athlete.
Coach "Doc" Washington, of Cardozo, is making plans to upset the series by throwing the whole thing into a triple tie. That is his team is to beat Armstrong on March 7 as well as Dunbar and thereby make a bid for the city diadem.
Bland, the fighting Dunbar guard, was one of the mainstays of his team. This youngster has a peculiar weaving and bobbing style of play that puzzles his opponents.
In a series between Dunbar and Armstrong where competition is keen and the score likely to be close two referees ought to be used, It is impossible for one man to see it all.
Both schools' gyms are too small to play in. Hundreds have to be turned away at each game. Howard gymnasium would seat more fans and incidently add more to the athletic coffers.
In speaking of the Howard gymnasium it is noticeable that the score board has not been erected in the Bison area. Fans are unable to know what it's all about until days later.
Basketball players are still losing and winning games by the foul route. A different story would have been told if Armstrong or Dunbar had made a larger percentage of their free shots. A little time spent shooting from the 15-foot line would enable many teams to gain the necessary points to win.

Was Only Rider in History of the Kentucky Derby to Ride Three Winners in Buchanan
NEW YORK (ANP)—An interesting if a somewhat tragic picture of how gradually but surely black riders have been forced off the racing tracks of the country is told in a recent issue of the New York Herald Tribune by W. J. Macbeth. The desire for money and the jealousy aroused when Negroes received the plaudits and hero worship of the sporting throngs has led to a steady and systematic elimination of the colored boys from the riding game just as efforts are being made to freeze them out of all sorts of preferred employment, the writer points out while he observes:
Riders Disappearing
"Negro race riders in America are fast disappearing. Slowly, but surely, they are dropping from the hazardous steeplechasing sport after having practically disappeared from the flat. Last season there were not half a dozen Negro jockeys and not many more cross-country riders.
"From the early sixties to the middle nineties, the American turf had a horde of good Negro riders and a few super-greats of the calibre of Isaac Murphy, Johnny Stoval, Tony Hamilton, Pike Barnes, Line Jones, Willie Simms, Tiny Williams, Monk Overton, Emanuel Morris, Bob Isom, Felix Carr, and the great Chevalier. And in their heyday these lads had far stiffer or position than the whites of today would be able to furnish. There were more good jockeys in those days than now. It was the era of Jimmy McLaughlin, rated by many oldtimers as the very best of them all; Tod Sloan, whom others gave the same rating; Snapper Garrison, Moose Taylor, Willie Hayward, Andy McCarthy, and Willie Fitzpatrick.
Isaac Murphy. World's Greatest
Isaac Murphy, World's greatest
Father Bill Daly, the long-shot
king of thirty years ago and dean
of American trainers, who can go
as far back as perhaps any one in
this country interested in thoroughbreds, regards Isaac Murphy as the greatest rider who ever piloted a thoroughbred. Father Bill should know a jockey and all that constitutes horsemanship. He developed more good jockeys in his time than any other American trainer.
Finest Judge of Race
Murphy, in Father Bills' opinion,
was the finest judge of pace of all
the super stars. He is the only
jockey in the long history of the
Kentucky Derby, which dates back
fifty-five years, to ride three winners
of the classic—Buchanan in
1884, Riley in 1890, and Kingman in
1891. Four times he had the
leg on winners of the American
Derby at Washington Park, Chicago
+Modesty, 1884; Volante, 1885;
Silver Cord, 1886; and Emperor of
Norfolk, 1888. He won the Saratoga Cup in 1881 with Checkmate,
and again in 1886 with Volante.
Fisk U. Making Bid For Southern Court Honors
By Frank Sherlock Render
NASHVILLE, TENN.—The Fisk
University basketeers got off to
a slow start this season due to
a lengthy football season which lasted
until the new year. Most of its
varsity tossers being football players caused Coach Johnson to hold
up in order to recuperate from the scars and bruises of the gridiron.
The season was inaugurated by a 45 to 25 win from the Tennessee
State College five. Then the Fiskites fell victim to the powerful
Knoxville College five squad which is making a strong bid for southern
championship. Knoxville in a desperate determination to avenge
herself for the reversals in football chalked up two victories on
successive nights 30 to 20, and 25 to 15.
Fisk defeated Alabama State College, 25 to 20 on January 29 and lost to the same team 27 to 18 the following night. On January 31 and February 1 Fisk won from Tuskegee by the scores of 39-14 and 36-32.
Coast Athletes Score
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—C. Smith, a newcomer to the 28th Street Y.M.C.A., upet a number of old stars to take first place in the third annual Young Men's Athletics Tests. Smith garnered a total of 27 points. E. Harang, last year's champ, was second with $19\%$; Fred Lewis and Earl Patterson tied for third with 19. A. Jennings was fourth with 17; Harold Hicks, fifth with $15\%$; and Chuck Early, sixth, with 15.
GIANT Vs. GIANT
PHILADELPHIA.—Primo Carnera, the gaintaintain, has been matched with Ace Clark, 235-pound, 6-foot 7-inch heavyweight to fight in a 10-round bout here on March 3.
PANTHERS CLAWS CLIPPED
Three nights after defeating the Panther five the Midgets took into camp in easy fashion the Manchester Juniors, in the "Y" gymnasium. This Thursday night affair ended 27-7 in the favor of the triangular boys.
He took the Brooklyn Derby with Emperor of Norfolk in 1888. His Derby victories of those days were real accomplishments, especially his sensational sweep of the American, which at that time usurped the spotlight now resigned to the Kentucky Derby.
Among the notable victories of Willie Sims was a double in the Brooklyn Derby. This finished horseman of a later day, who is remembered by the middle-aged of the present day regulars, was on Dobbins, winner of 1894, and Octagon in 1897. Twice with the second best horse, Simms won the Kentucky Derby. His superb finish landed John E. Madden's Plaudit winner by a nose in 1898, duplicating a feat of two years previously when he got home by a whisker with Ben Brush. Simms, on Richard Crocker's Dobbins, figured in the memorable dead heat with Domino, which was ridden by Fred Taral.
Tony Hamilton, Wonder Rider
Pike Barnes, another great Negro rider, inscribed his name in the Hall of Fame by riding the first Futurity winner, a classic which is now the most richly endowed of the world and most cherished of all juvenile stakes. This triumph dates back to 1888. Barnes won with Proctor Knott, beating the great Salvator, ridden by Andy (Tony) Hamilton. Barnes won the Brooklyn handicap of 1890 with Burlington and a year later repeated with Tenny.
Fine Record
Few of our present day riders can show such a fine record as Tony Hamilton in the matter of stake achievements. He won the American Derby of 1887 with C. H. Todd. He had the leg on Exile in the Brooklyn Handicap of 1889. Six years later he won the same classic aboard Hornipipe. Hamilton won the Hudson Stakes of 1889 with Ballanrat and the 1890 Futurity with Potomac. He was up on Portchester, winner of the 1891 Tidal Stakes. He took a Suburban Handicap in 1895 with Lazzarone and a Metropolitan Handicap at Morris Park a year later with Counter Tenor.
Tiny Williams
Tiny Williams was best known for his ability with two-year-olds. None of his day could match this fine post rider in a sprint. Perkins scored sensational success after success with horses trained by Byron McCelland. Emanuel Morris rode the Lucky Baldwin string in the time of Galinido and Rel el Santa Anita. Peter Clay will ever be remembered for his skillful handling of the great Imp. But one of the greatest riding feats ever attained rewarded the skill of Jimmy Lee. This Negro rider swept the card of six races at Churchill Downs on the afternoon of June 5, 1907.

The basketball game between the Freedmen's Nurses and the Y. W.C.A. team scheduled for last Saturday was called off by the "Y" officials, who said they knew nothing of the proposed contest. "Dizzy" Vance was the promoter.

FOURTEEN
BRILLIANT FIRST NIGHT CROWD AT BOJANGLES' SHOW
De Priest Among Group Capitivated by Adelaide Hall and Bill Robinson
When Washingtonians paid forty cents to see the show, "Bojangles' Revels," at the Howard Theatre this week, they got the bargain of a lifetime.
When they saw Bill Robinson and Adelaide Hall they got a glimpse of just about all there was to see of "Blackbirds" when it was a Broadway topnotcher. When they laughed at, Gallie DeGaston in "the telegraph office," they saw the best laugh provoking skit of "Hot Chocolates," another long run whiteway show. When they laughed at the Gaines Brothers, the Cuban athletes, they laughed at the same thing that costs patrons of the Keith-Albee houses two dollars to laugh at, and when they heard Adelaide eron between her two baby grand pianos with Putney (Iicky wicky wacky woo) Dandridge and Tate tickling the ivories, they saw the same act that left them crying for more at the Palace Theatre, New York, and to play the Palace, be it remembered, is the zenith of every trouper's ambition.
Society Turns Out
There was something different about Monday night's show at the Howard, something that recalled the days when the supper shows were just the thing along the Potomac.
The cream of Washington society turned out en mases to greet the aristocrats of the stage. The house lights that were flashed on for a fleeting second revealed the social and professional leaders scattered here and there in the front row seats and the boxes. Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest and party occupied the left hand box and smiled upon the talented performers. Quick-witted Gallie De Gaston seized the opportunity to get off a joke on Hefflin and DePriest, and all eyes were diverted from the stage to the box and its distinguished occupants.
Such dancing as Washington has never witnessed was served with sure footed precision by the nimble and expertly trained "Howardettes" following the lead of the king of tap dancers. Robinson's personality could be felt throughout the entire production and the whole offering seemed to be permeated with an impromptu spirit that swept the audience along and made them forget that they were looking at a carefully rehearsed show. The show was strictly a dance revue as the music, with the exception of the singing of Miss Hall, could hardly be called of importance, and Robinson dispensed with the services of the orchestra all-together in his dancing. Belle Baker in "A Song of Love" completed one of the best bills that the Howard has presented in a long time.

There was something familiar about that face, but where had I seen it before? Jules Bledsoe! Certainly. We became acquainted.
Here, thank, heaven, is a concert singer, who has not laid aside his Waco, Texas, appetite for the dainty foods that artists are supposed to eat. As Jules talked he devoured most heartily a goodly portion of candied sweet potatoes, string beans, cornbread and—I hope he forgives me for revealing this rather personal taste—chitterlings. And even as he ate, he spoke of his secret ambition to some day visit and conquer Europe—a long jump that, but did not Caruso love his spaghetti and garlic?

When I met him, he had just completed a 300 mile jaunt over the mountains from Pittsburgh in a heavy blinding fog. He was none the worst for his experience, however, and was ready for the opening performance.

The entire company loved Mother Madison and in celebrating her seventy-fourth and seventy-fifth anniversaries, the fellow Thespians gave two parties for the old lady. She was entirely grateful to them and carries a fond remembrance of the actors who appeared with her both in this country and abroad.
phia, recently, it marked the final stage appearance of the grand old lady of the colored theatre. Mother Madison, as she was known to members of the cast, completed her "run of the show" contract with the sensational drama of Charleston, being one of the original members of the cast. When the Theatre Guild decid- ed to put on "Porgy", a white friend of Mother Madison brought her to the casting director of the company, asking that the seventy-three-year-old actress be given a chance with the company. After much discussion, it was decided to give her a chance. She made good in the role of "Annie" and was one of the best liked members of the cast.

"DEVIL-MAY-CARE" ROMANTIC FILM
Ramon Novarro Fights Way Through Adventures in First Talkie
Ramon Novarro, dressed in the handsome uniform of a lieutenant of Napoleon Bonaparte, making his escape from a firing squad; climbing into a beautiful young woman's bedroom; masquerading as a footman; dueling his way to fame and fortune...these are some of the sequences of "Devil-May-Care," Novarro's all-talking screen 7.25 and 9.30, Sunday at 3.25, 5.25, romance which will open at the Booker T. Theatre, beginning Saturday, March 1.
The new picture, adapted from the French play, "La Bataille des Dames," is said to be a perfect vehicle for the romantic Novarro. The story tells of the adventures of Armand, the exiled Napoleon's trusted lieutenant who schemes to bring back his liege to the throne of France. When he falls in love with Leonie, ardent Royalist, complications begin.
Sidney Franklin, director of the production, is said to have set a new standard for camera excellence. Among the scenes which stand out are "shots" of a cavalry troop riding down a mountain road; the historic scene in which Napoleon bids farewell to his guard; a forest glade in which Armand and Leonie go horseback riding; scenes in a French chateau and a scene filmed in technicolor in a reproduction of the gardens at Versailles.
The supporting cast of "Devil May-Care" includes Dorothy Jordan as Leonie, Marion Harris, as Countess Louise, John Miljan as the villianous de Grignon, and others.
Novarro sings a variety of attractive musical numbers in the picture written by Herbert Stoth-

art and Clifford Grey. Songs are also sung by Miss Harris, who is well known as a "blues" singer, and Miss Jordan, who was formerly in New York musical comedies. The musical numbers range from sentimental love songs such as "Charming," "If He Cared" and "The Shepherd's Serenade," to the comedy songs, "Pompadour" and "Bon Jour, Louie," and the rollicking military number, "March of the Old Guard," which Novarro sings with a large chorus.

Ermine Furniture, Glass Bathtubs Among Film's Novelties
Ermine furniture and glass bathtubs are striking novelties offered by Cecil B. De Mille in "Dynamite," his first talking picture, and his first production for MetroGoldwyn-Mayer, which comes to the Lincoln Theatre Saturday. De Mille seems to be determined to go the full distance in his return to his former exotic type of material, after a prolonged sojourn with a more serious type of subject.
Although he gained great publicity for the bathtubs of earlier pictures, it is said that the present glass offering is the first he has had in a picture for over six years. The ermine furniture of the boudoir occupied by Kay Johnson, the lead of the piece, is in line with its modernistic tendencies.
This boudoir is the scene of a strong scene between Kay Johnson and Charles Bickford when the latter breaks his way into its privacy.
"Dynamite" is by Jeanie MacPherson. Its featured players include Conrad Nagel, Kay Johnson, Charles Bickford and Julia Faye

ANNA HELD BROUGHT "IT" TO THE SCREEN
The star who played opposite Anna Held, immortal French comedienne, in the only picture she ever made, is Forrest Stanley, who has the feature role of the district attorney in 'The Drake Case,' sensational Universal all talking picture, coming to the Howard Theatre next week.
Stanley and Miss Held appeared in a picture entitled "Mme. La President" more than ten years ago when Stanley went into pictures after a sky-rocket career as a matinee idol. It was Miss Held's first and only appearance before the camera and her Frenchy-Frenchy personality went over big.
"Had pictures been then what they are now Miss Held would be remembered as one of the greatest actresses that ever appeared before a camera. She had one of the most marvous personalities I ever encountered." Stanley says, and he has played opposite almost every top-notch actress in America, including Margaret Illington, Constance Collier, Jane Cowl, Crystal Herne, Mary Bolan, Laurette Taylor, Leonore Ulric and Marjorie Rambeau.
"Miss Held had far more than her naughty eyes and her reputation for taking beauty baths in milk and champagne," he says. "She was the first woman to register the well known 'It' on the screen."
"The Drake Case" is an unusual murder trial courtroom picture, directed by Edward Laemmle. In the cast with Stanley are Gladys Brockwell, Robert Frazer, James Crane, Doris Lloyd, Bill Thorne, Eddie Hearn, Tommy Dugan, Byron Douglas, Francis Ford, Henry Barrows, Amber Norman and Barbara Leonard.

She sold her husband for $100,000. Is any man worth that much?
She paid $25,000 down on a $100,000 deal to buy another woman's husband. How high would you go?
A powerful drama that rips aside the "glamour of stolen love and reveal it for what it actually is!

No Chance for Ware's Hotel at Highland Beach This Year
TWO
HIGHLAND BEACH HOTEL PROJECT MAY BE BLOCKED
Ordiance Enacted Last Summer Requiring Permit May Halt Building
Ware's Hotel, the bone of contention at Highland Beach, Maryland summer resort, will not be built this year or any time soon, according to reports from the Citizens' Association of Highland Beach, which met Tuesday.
The hotel was burned to the ground this winter and although the beach was closed, the origin of the fire has not been determined. For the last few years several citizens at the beach objected to the hotel, claiming it brought an objectionable group to the beach. Araid on the place last summer resulted in finding slot machines, which were removed and the owners fined.
An ordinance enacted by the commissioners of Highland Beach last August prohibits the building or erection of all structures unless the owners secure the proper permits and licenses from the Board, and this body will have to pass on them before the building is started. At present it is said the majority of the commissioners are not in favor of a hotel being erected at the beach. The commissioners said Mr. Ware has not made application for a permit to build. At the Tuesday meeting of the Citizens' Association Mrs. Richard Ware, wife of the owner of Ware's Hotel, was present and according to reports she lambasted the entire body. The report given out by the commissioners after the meeting follows:
"The commissioners have had under consideration and preparation for some months a revision and compilation or codification of all of the ordinances which have been passed and in force in Highland Beach since its incorporation, and at a meeting of the commissioners held the latter part of January enacted and promulgated that portion of the codification of ordinances and regulations pertaining to the construction and repair of buildings and premises, and to the levy of license taxes for the conduct of businesses and trades of a commercial nature within the corporate limits of Highland Beach.
"In the enactment of these ordinances and regulations the commissioners have sought to safeguard the town as far as practicable from the possibility of fires that might cause a conflagration and destroy not only this whole community but spread to the surrounding settlements as well; they have also had a foresight into the future of what might happen to this quiet and peaceful little settlement if unscrupulous promoters of offensive enterprises or other commercial ventures, which by their very nature tend to become or create a nuisance, be allowed to enter and get the upper hand, and they have endeavored to avoid the many dangers, evils and burdens accompanying an unwarranted invasion of such commercial enterprises into this settlement which was designed to be a strictly residential or family community, and not an open public resort.
"Under these ordinances every one who desires to erect, repair or convert any building, mut file an application with the Commissioners of Highland Beach containing a full statement of the work proposed to be done before a permit will be issued, and if the building or premises are to be used as a hotel, restaurant, bath houses, public amusement house, pool room or other business or commercial establishment of a public nature conducted for profit or gain, in order that the commissioners might be guided in their action by the expressed desire and wishes of the residents before granting such permit or license, it is also required that the application for the permit or license be also accompanied by the written consent of the owners of seventy-five per cent of the property within the immediate vicinity where the business is to be established or conducted.
"These ordinances will also regulate the height and size of buildings to be erected, their location on the lot and percentage of the lot or parcel of ground to be occupied by the building, the construction of chimneys and out-buildings, and as a health and sanitary precaution, the location and installation of privies and septic tanks. "Licenses must also be obtained annually for the conduct of any kind of business, trade or commercial enterprise.
"Copies of these ordinances have been posted in a public place in Highland Beach as required by the charter, and copies have also been filed with the county commissioner of Anne Arundel County for the information of the county officials and their co-operation in the enforcement of the same and the punishment of violators in the county courts by a fine of from $5.00 to $100, or by imprisonment in the county jail of from 5 to 30 days, or both in the discretion of the court."
Testimonial to Rev.
John Milton Waldron
At Dunbar Auditorium
M.
About 200 persons attended the testimonial in honor of Rev. John Milton Waldron at the Dunbar High School auditorium, Thursday night. The program was made up with speakers from the various walks of life, all of whom spoke in befitting terms of Rev. Waldron, former pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church.
Dr. John R. Hawkins, president of the Prudential Bank, presided. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, gave four reasons for his admiration of Rev. Waldron. He said that his ability to labor for a cause he thought right; his moral courage to stand alone for the right, his uncompromising attitude for right and his time given to civic affairs attracted him to Rev. Waldron, and therefore won his admiration for him.
W. P. Mahoney, secretary of the Emergency Housing Corporation told of how Rev. Waldron started the movement to eliminate the alley dwellers and started the Emergency Housing Movement, and was its president. He said, 'Rev. Waldron has rendered unselfish service to his fellowman.' Dean E. Butler Pratt, of the theological department at Howard its president. He said, 'Rev. Waldron to St. Paul in his ministry and courage and his zeal to win men to God. J. A. G. LuValle spoke on racial consciousness and how the Negro press has grown into prominence since Rev. Waldron came to Washington 25 years ago. Eugene A. Clark, assistant superintendent of schools, spoke of Rev. Waldron as a man with a sympathetic heart and what service he had rendered in his family.
Rev. W. S. Abernathy, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, said it was a beautiful thing to say these beautiful words to Dr. Waldron while he lives and not wait until he is dead. We do not do enough of it. Rev. Abernathy said that he considered Rev. Waldron's work in clearing out the slums of the alleys of Washington, the greatest service that he could possibly render humanity.
Miss M. B. Robinson, a teacher in Twining School, was chairman of the committee which planned and carried out this testimonial to Rev. Waldron. Miss Evelyn Hurly and Rev. L. C. Sheafe were the soloists. Miss S. R. Whitt represented Shiloh Baptist Church in making its presentation to Rev. Waldron. James Ross represented the District Deacons Association, and William Davls, the Interdenominial Usheres.
Rev. Waldron reviewed his efforts from the time he pastored Berean Baptist Church to his resignation of Shiloh.
Prophet Andrew Jones Predicts World War
Rev. Andrew Jones, of Newark, N.J., known as "Prophet Jones," stated Monday that at 3 o'clock Sunday morning he was awakened by a report of the fire of a canon in the London Conference on Naval Affairs and says that God revealed to him that the United States must prepare to fight the world. That England would attack her from the east and Japan from the west with the rest of the world concurring with them.
"Prophet" Andrew Jones, who predicted the World War more than 10 years before the first shot was fired and who also gave advance notice of the Johnstown flood, the Baltimore fire, and the Mississippi valley flood of 1927, today announced other dire things are in store for the world; he did not say when they would talk.

THE WASHINGTCN TRIBUNE FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1930
'TIGHT LIKE THAT'IS SUBJECT OF SERMON
N. C. Pastor Selects Title of Vulgar Song to Prove The Scriptures
ABERDEEN, N.C.—A vulgar and suggestive song was dedicated to the glory of God by the Rev. M. Hall, pastor of Sand Hill Christian Church, here, when he took as the subject of his text, "It's Tight Like That." last Sunday. The pastor took his text from St. Luke 13:24, "Strive to enter in at the straight gate, for many I say unto you will not be able." Excerpts from the pastor's sermon are quoted here:
The Rich Man
"The subject implied (1) A something that is a tight or hard proposition to penetrate.
The text speaks in reference to the object 'that.' What is the something, and what is it tight like? Jesus Christ here in this chapter had been conversing with that young ruler, who was very rich, on the terms of inheriting eternal life. Jesus told him to sell all that he had, and distribute the proceeds to the poor. That was indeed tight, because he went away sorrowfully. Just at the time a camel was seen trying to get through the gate (the needle eye), a straight gate entering Jerusalem, but his hump prevented his entering. So the rich man found it "Tight Like That."
Prejudice Tight
"(2) To enter the gate of eternal life, as the camel tried to enter the gate to the city is "Tight Like That" (a) The way of through life is a tight proposition from birth, childhood, tight school days, tight teachers and tight problems. (b) Our social life is tight, we are deceived by our best friends. (c) Racial propaganda is "Tight Like That," because of our color, jealousy and prejudice have drawn a line of demarcation so strong that we can't get through it. "Tight Like That" for the Negroes. (d) Industrially, jobs are a tight proposition. (e) Financially, money is a tight proposition. (3) The entrance into the Kingdom of God is a tight proposition.
The Gates of Heaven
"The gates to Heaven are: 1. Sell all that thou hath and distribute to the poor. (Too tight for the rich man). 2. Resist not evil, who so ever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other. 3. If any man sue thee at law and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 4. Love your enemy. 5. Bless them that curse you. 6. Pray for those who despitefully use you. Therefore if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly man and the sinner appear? It is "Tight Like That." The patter's subject was chosen from a suggestive phonograph record to which many verses have been added by people in the street.
Baptist Ministers Vote to Abolish Sunday Funerals
The executive committee of the Baptist Ministers Conference reported favorably on the motion offered by Rev. A. Sales, about a month ago, to discourage and abolish Sunday funerals. The conference adopted the report of the committee and thereby go on record against Sunday funerals. The conference will ask the Methodist ministers and the Interdenominational Ministers Alliance to co-operate with it and abolish Sunday funerals in Washington. Prophet Jones, of New Jersey, was the speaker for the day, and he said that evangelism was practically dend in the protestant church today. That the preacher and the pew fail to attract the men of the world because they are doing the same thing the world is doing. A collection of $11.35 was raised for him.
Rev. W. L. Washington, pastor of the Zion Baptist Church in Southwest Washington, will preach for the conference next Monday. President Holloman appointed the following committee to prepare to entertain the Baltimore Conference here on Monday, April 28: Revs. J. H. Marshall, G. O. Bullock, A. Sales, B. H. Whiting, J. A. Carter, J. T. Harvey, K. W. Roy, Robert Anderson, and Edward Newton.

BISHOP SHAW ACTION IS SET ASIDE AT TRIAL
A. M. E. Zion Court of Appeals Reverses Action of Militant Prelate
ATLANTA, Ga.—The trial of Rev. D. E. Thompson, of the A.M. E. Zion Church, before the court of appeals of that church, which met in Atlanta, Ga., with Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of Washington, presiding, resulted in Rev. Thompson being restored to his charge in Montgomery, Ala.
Rev. Thompson had been sent to the church in Montgomery by Bishop Shaw. After 10 months Bishop Shaw transferred Rev. Thompson to Greenville, Ala., to a much smaller church. Rev. Thompson refused to go, and was charged with insubordination by Bishop Shaw. He appealed his decision to the court of appeals of 15 ministers, presided over by a bishop.
According to this court's findings and verdict, Bishop Shaw had overstepped his authority in transferring Rev. Thompson from one conference to another, without his consent.
Regarding the alleged charges against Bishop Shaw, Bishop E. D. W. Jones said: "The Board of Bishops of the Zion Church regard the charges alleged against Bishop Shaw as the result of misunderstanding and conflict with administrative policies. No action has been taken by them, because no charges have been preferred."

Higher Citizenship Urged Among Students Here
Dr. F. W. Kirkham, of the National Child Welfare Association, addressed the faculty of the Randall Junior High School on the subject of Character Education. In the course of the address, he suggested that the faculty go on record as initiating in Washington a movement providing that pupils present in addition to the current scholastic requirements for graduation satisfactory records in such factors of citizenship as dependability, self-reliance, truthfulness and honesty. He laid special emphasis on the fact that among employers scholarship is rapidly becoming a secondary consideration on the part of applicants for positions of trust.

Sisters of the church contribute clothes, money and various gifts. Mrs. Miles is allowed $10 weekly alimony, but declares this is not enough.

He said all of the salary he received from the church was given to needy members of the congregation. Mrs. Miles deserted him and lived in Philadelphia for three weeks without telling him of her whereabouts. He said Mrs. Miles insulted his members and failed to enter into the spirit of his work.

his gift, which proved an inspira-
tion for other large gifts from Ne-
groes to “Y” work.
‘Mr. Chase died at the home of
E. R. Molen, where he had lived
for the past seven years. Mr.
Molen visited Mr. Chase and his
mother 48 years ago, and they be-

Social Affairs Conflict On Busy Week-end Here
As usual, Friday night brought many types of entertainment for Washington pleasure seekers. It was a question here and as to "which affair to attend," for there were many conflicts. However, many ended by attending several of the functions scheduled. First it was a pleasure to sit and listen to Messrs. Mercer Mance and Albert Smith representing the Alphas and Messrs. William Striplin and Edward A. Beaubian representing the Omegas debate the question, "Resolved, That Athletic Scholarship Should be Granted in Colleges and Universities," at the Masonic Temple the early part of Friday evening. Each of these young men showed extensive research and wonderful delivery. Messrs. Striplin and Beaubian representing the negative deserve much credit for receiving the decision over Messrs. Mance and Smith for the latter's argument was very strong and struck a real, human note now being discussed in many colleges. Many persons were seen in the audience in evening attire and enjoyed a few dances after the debate before going to the Bachelor-Benedict dance.
S——S
Bachelor-Benedict Dance
The Bachelor-Benedict dance was one, long to be remembered because of its added attraction—breakfast at the Bamboo Inn.
The dance was of course very pretty and gracious bows and smiles were in order all evening as late comers joined the crowd. At about 3A.M., the entire crowd of about two hundred and fifty wended their way to the snappy little rendezvous where tables had been reserved and continued making "whoopee" until the sun was about to peep over the horizon. Fun, I Say.
This little rendezvous is one of the high spots of Washington and has given this once staid little city a chance to enjoy a morsel of night life in such a way that no one can find the least objection.
Mrs. Agnes Williams Entertains
On Thursday evening, Mrs. Agnes Williams, popular in social circles was hostess to her club at the Bamboo Inn.
Covers were laid for fourteen in the balcony. A most gorgeous centerpiece of primroses made in the shape of a heart was artistically arranged on the table. Favors representing little "George Washington" hats were given each guest. Prizes were won by Mesdames Louise Hayes, Bernice Trigg and Lelitia Holmes.
Those present included Mesdames Edna Perry, Annie Jasper, Vivian Turner, Gladys Green, Thelma Porter, Ethel Holland, Letitia Holmes, Bernice Trigg, Louise Hayes, Nettie Lee, Misses Ruth Cornell and Lillian Tanner.
The Yama Yama Club Entertained by Mrs. Josephine Neil
Mrs. Josephine Neil was hostess to the Yama Yama Bridge Club at the Bamboo Inn on last Thursday evening.
The ladies were attired in evening clothes and made a very pretty picture seated in the balcony. Mrs. Neil proved a charming hostess and saw to it that all present enjoyed an evening of pleasure. Those present were Mesdames Minnie Lawson, Viola Nixon, Franceina Biddle, Jessie Penn, Willie Robinson, and Madelyn Boyd, Misses Margaret White, Eloise Hayel, Dorothy Robinson. The guest prizes was awarded Mrs. Jessie Penn. Club prizes were awarded Mesdames Minnie Lawson, Viola Nixon, and Miss Margaret White.
S——S
Odd Card Whist Club Hosts
Saturday was George Washington's Birthday and with it came the complimentary dance of the Odd Card Whist Club. Shortly after the loops of Masonic Temple were open, crowds began to pour in. Of course being a holiday, most of the crowd could be on time and spend four full hours of dancing, and before a couple of hours had passed, the hall was crowded to capacity, which certainly demonstraed the popularity o this club.
The members were unable to partake of the afternoon's enjoyment because of their assignment to various posts, so they were again hosts to their wives and a few friends at the Bamboo Inn the same night. The Odd Card Whist Club pennant gracefully entwined the post at the rear of the table and cut flowers were used to beautify the table. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. William Baker, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. Laurence Moten, Mr. and Mrs. Mercer Conway, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Vaughn, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Tardd, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Renfro, Dr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Crawley, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Jones, Miss Alvera Menard, Mrs. Marie McNeal and Messrs Lewis Williams, Gaslee Brown, Harper Cooper, and Boyd Clark.
S——S
Mrs. Ettel Holland and Miss Ruth Cornell Hostesses
Mrs. Ethel Holland and Mrs. Ethel Holland were hostesses to the He's and She's Club at the latter's residence 1326 V street, northwest, on last Tuesday evening. The affair was in the form of a Chinese party, the men favors and prizes being indicative of the occasion. Mrs. Thelma Porter was the guest. Others present were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lee, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Minor, Dr. and Mrs. S. Holmes, Theodoric McLane, Mrs. Agnes Williams and Mr. Eugene Smith.
Prizes were won by Mrs. Thelma Porter, Mr. Eugene Smith and Mrs. Margaret Minor.
Mr. W. E. Jarvis Entertained by Friends
A number of friends of Mr. W. E. Jarvis gave a birthday party in his honor at the Bamboo Inn on last Saturday evening. The guests were all seated in the balcony with the tables arranged in banquet style. Cut flowers adorned the tables. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. Norman Jarvis, Mr. and Mrs. Puss Percival, Mrs. Minnie Patterson of New York City, Attorney and Mrs. George E. C. Hayes, Mr. Arthur James, Mrs. Narka Rayford, Miss Lottie Ruff, Dr. and Mrs. Blake Young, Mr. Victor Daly, Mr. Fred Crusoe, Mr. Joseph Turner, Mr. Gough McDaniels, of Baltimore, Mrs. Bessie Nurse, Mrs. Estelle Mayer, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Ogle, Mrs. Marion Brown, of Bordentown, N. J.; Mrs. Annie Johnson, Mrs. Clyde Glass, Mr. and Mrs. William Hurst, Mr. Ted Younger, of New York City; Mr. Aaron Day, Mrs. Pearl Flippin, Mr. Steve Plummer and Mrs. Theresa Connelly.
Omegas and Alphas Play Basketball
Another feature event of George Washington's Birthday was the basketball game at Murray's Casino between the Omegas and Alphas, the decision in favor of the Alphas, the reverse of the debate decision.
The event was well attended and ended with dancig after the game. Many fair co-eds were present and added cheer to the occasion.

Her guests list included Miss Hilda Roy, with Owen Plummer, Pocohontas Harmon, Emaretta Wright, Bernice Ware, Maude Thomas, Lucy Williams, Sadie Dick, Ruth Harmon, and Roberta Chavers. Topping her personality plus list came Francis Brown with Scott Davidson, Milton Smith, Thomas Richardson, Willie Wilson, "Peaches" Robinson, Malcolm Oldham, and the Captain Leon Downing.

Nervous
Trembles
"About a year ago I felt
that I needed a tonic.
I would get up in the morn-
ing feeling so tired and
worn-out. It seemed to me
that I was getting weaker.
"The least exertion would make me have nervous trembles. I just kept dragging around, not knowing what to do.
"One day when I felt unusually bad, I happened to read about Cardui and what it had done for others.
I began taking it and soon saw an improvement. I kept it up and regained health and strength. Now I am feeling just fine."-Miss Agnes White, 715 Cedar St. Nashville, Tenn.

An evidence of the hypocrisy of the Hoover Administration cropped out recently when the War Department issued the regulation governing the pilgrimage of the Gold Star Mothers to Europe where they are to visit the graves of their fallen heroes. We find this paragraph:
"Invitations to mothers and widows of the Negro race shall be extended for such time as will permit the organization of separate groups of such mothers and widows."
Although the Negro soldiers who lie in the French soil, died in the front ranks during the World War, their widows and mothers are not good enough, nor thought enough of by the Government for which they died, to accompany the mothers of other soldiers who died as they. The Negro mothers must suffer the additional burden and humiliation of the racial prejudice of the Hoover Administration, Republican though it be, which issues an order segregating the Negro Gold Star Mothers to its conveniences and pleasure.
President Hoover is reputed to be a Quaker and a Christian. If his attitude of segregation toward our Gold Star Mothers is sanctioned by his Christianity, to hell with it. We do not want that type of Quakerism or Christianity.

Next Tuesday will be March 4th. It will be the first anniversary of President Hoover's administration. If the only way to safely judge the future is by reviewing the past, then the next three years of his sojourn in the White House will indeed be miserable ones for the great bulk of American citizens.
While no man in this day and time can be expected to perform miracles, it certainly is reasonable to expect the President of the United States, with a majority in both House and Senate, to accomplish something worthwhile for the rank and file of the people.
The great middle group of Americans can find no worth while accomplishment of President Hoover during his first year to point to with pride. Coming in as a great engineer, an organizer of unusual ability, a man without intriguing political alliance, at least a fairly progressive administration was expected. Instead of this, he has given the nation one of the most reactionary, selfish and leaderless first years in our recent history.
Farm relief, prohibition, better relations in the West Indies and Central and South America, re-organization of various governmental departments, etc., are no better and in some cases are worst than under Coolidge.
The marines are still in Haiti. It is true that the President has sent a commission to the islands to study how they can be withdrawn, but this action was taken only three weeks ago and then only after a bloody uprising.
The Virgin Islanders are still being ruled by a ruthless despot. No bills have as yet been passed by Congress to improve their economic conditions. While the American prohibition fanatics were quick to rule out the islanders' chief industry, the making of bay rum, they have failed to become interested in substituting an industry to take its place. The cyclone of three years ago destroyed the big dock and coal pier on the islands. No funds have as yet been available to restore this important industrial unit. The natives are just left to drift, entirely forgotten by the "Big Man" in the White House.
With the death of the Minister to Liberia, Mr. Francis, that post has been permitted to continue vacant, although there are many men well qualified to fill it.
Civil Service discrimination continues. Negrees in all government departments are benign denied daily promotions that they are rightfully entitled to. In fact there now seems to be an unwritten law in the government service that no "legro shall be promoted to a position higher than he now occupies and when the present occupants die or are retired, no Negro is even then promoted to succeed them. The Christian Quaker acquiesced in this policy of restriction we believe sleefly.
In the national arena, the Negro just does not exist in the Hoover scheme of things. The south broke its tradition and voted for Mr. Hoover an evidently, his high cabinet has decreed that in things political, the south must be appeased and not the Negro. There are now more than 4,000,000 men out of work in this country. Unemployed mobs have recently marched on the city halls of Philadelphia, Pa.; Cleveland, Ohio; Detroit, Michigan; and Chicago, Illinois.
Business continues in a depressed state throughout the country. More banks failed in the first nine months of last year than failed in the entire year of 1928. Business failures likewise have been extortively large.
cephalization.
The calling to Washington this winter of big industrialists, and the subsequent balloon about how much construction they would begin, has not as yet turned out to be anything real. Bank credits, despite the large sums they have deposited, have not as yet been made available for construction loans. The money market continues tight for the middleman. The prosperity Mr. Hoover and associates talk about, is confined to a few monopolistic corporations whose hands are thrust deep into the pockets of the tax payers by various government grants. We are witnessing the spectacle of adding to our economic class and at the same time multiplying our poor.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
By Charles M. Thomas
The Supreme Court and The
Colored People
No change in American administration affects the people of my group so much as a change in the complexion or make-up of the United States Supreme Court. Despite the power of legislatures and the effects of statutes of Congress, the ultimate law-making body in this country, is that august body of nine gentlemen, appointed for life and with the power to review as final the acts of other law makers, once they are brought to the bar of their judgment upon a claim of conflict with the basic laws of the land:—the Constitution, treaties, and earlier decisions of the body itself.
In no part of their monumental labors, did the framers of the Constitution perform so farreaching a result, as their creation of that tribunal. It strengthened the original Federal government under Chief Justice John Marshall, who established vested rights, and brought the Federal Union into dominant place through the conflict which was caused later by the opinion of Chief Justice Taney, when he declared for slavery. Each year in our national life has been marked by the presence of some dominant figures upon that lofty bench, and their majority decisions have preserved the trend of affairs as the more powerful people directed them to proceed.
From States' Right to
Federal Control
The Civil War was the last stand of the bold but mistaken champions of the Calhoun theory of states' rights, a national compact and power to secede. Prior to that, by a strange set of circumstances, it was the South that demanded the insertion of the first ten amendments, as a Bill of Rights against the judgment of such a man as Alexander Hamilton. Later it was the South which led the fight for the Prohibition enforcement law that destroyed the power of those same amendments.
It was the conduct, of that section that caused the 14th amendment to be written into the Constitution, and it was that same section that has nullified the effect of that amendment for the colored people, but has transferred it to cover Corporations which it did not contemplate; the now famous Slaughter House cases came up from Louisiana, and claiming the protection of the Constitution in its 14th amendment, once more transferred that blanket for what is desired or neglected by public opinion, the police power, back to the states. Under that opinion of police power, the colored man has been segregated, proscribed and discriminated against, and the Civil Rights laws which were enacted to protect him specifically, declared void and repugnant to the Constitution.
During that period, we have had the Federal Income Tax and the Volstead Law which gave the Federal government increased power, destroying in effect, the police power of the states, and in some instances the protection of the individual against the power itself. We are just now passing through the stage necessary to the formation of public opinion necessary to support a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court or to cause a repeal of the law.
It is at such a time that we need a change in the complexion and mental reaction of the bench, and Mr. Chief Justice Hughes comes with his own words in his own book on the Supreme Court, "wherein the substance of life, liberty and property consists."
This is a Corporation Era
Where the Civil War brought
us the corporation, the recent war
fixed its place in American life,
a position that has been slowly
establishing itself under the 14th
amendment. During 43 years after
the adoption of that amendment,
the U. S. Supreme Court
handed down 312 decisions on
corporation, and but 28 for the
colored man for whom it was devised.
Transportation, utilities, manufacturers, finance, industries, personal service and now food supplies are incorporated and super-
incorporated, thus demanding a strength and breadth of Federal police power which a revised Supreme Court can alone bestow.
It is such a police power that
can make operative the 14th
amendment as it was created to
include our citizenship in toto.
Through our own incorporated groups we must be prepared to bring suits on other trivial matters.
A POEM A WEEK

I count it quite a futile task.
This search of mine for eulogies,

About my folks are words like
these:

A thug! aye, bold and dark

There is much ado in the sepia pro-
tect the announcement of the government that the Gold Star Mother who will be sent to the battlefields of France to visit the graves of their dead sons will be shipped in separate packages. The whites in tissue paper and the browns in burlap. In spite of the protestation of my brethren of the pen, I fail to see anything alarming in this procedure, as it is hardly different from the accepted custom that has been prevalent in these huenited states all these many years.
In most cases it will be found that the mothers who lost their offsprings in the battle between Wall Street and Germany were not in the most part what we would call the intellegentsia of the race for the simple reason that this group knew entirely too much about birth control to have any sons to sacrifice on the pyre of American dollars labeled at the time "The War for Democracy." Careful investigation will reveal that the majority of these victims are simple souls who will go to their graves never knowing what their boy did to be murdered in foreign lands.
The average Gold Star Mother will recall with bitterness that she was disturbed one day from her washing and ironing to receive an official looking letter from the post man. She recalls that sympathetic look he gave her as she pondered at the door. She recalls that her boy kissed her goodbye and went away, but never came back. There was some talk about Huns, and the Kaiser who was pictured as incarnate devils who were going around the world cutting off the legs of little babies and her boy went out to drive them back.
These mothers would not want to associate with mothers of other races. They would be uncomfortable putting on airs when they would rather be off to themselves talking about the minister's sermon or the Grand Lodge Convention.
I merely cite these facts to prove that if we have any fight to wage, it is not how they send the Gold Star Mothers to France, but why they leave the Gold Star Fathers at home? It is the principle of the thing I am attacking. Are we men to stand idly by and let ourselves be discredited in this business of giving heroes to our country without a squawk? Are we to accept without a murmur the assumption that only mothers have any rights where boys are concerned? In other words is soldier making a job that women put over single-handed or is it the result of co-operation in which the party of the first part and the party of the second part share equally?
Who was it that paid the installments on the doctor's bill thereby keeping the stork from carrying back his delivery for non-payment like the fursuit man? The man, every time it is the man.

It's the man, every time, it's the man. Who rides piggy back on his hands and knees and bounces upsi-daisy on his foot? It's the man every time, it's the man.
When company comes, and admiring ladies start tickling the baby's toes and saying "He has his mother's hair and grandmother's nose and great-grandmother's teeth, who stands in the hall, gets no credit at all. It's the man, everytime, it's the man. This deplorable state of affairs must be corrected. We can say nothing to general customs, but we cannot permit the government to put its stamp of approval on this unjust discrimination of the sexes. We men must demand equal consideration under the law. Just how this problem is to be adjusted, I confess, is beyond me. To send the mothers and fathers together would merely undo all the work that our Peace Conferences have accomplished during the past ten years. No, it would never do to send husbands and wives together. To send them separate is equally hazardous. According to impression of Paris which I have received from the risque magazines, it is no place for an unscrapered male. I need not remind you of the axom. "There is no fool like an old fool." To send the wives and leave the husbands home would hardly be a solution because if the average wife cannot trust her husband to behave himself while she slips across town to visit her mother how can she trust the old rascal when she goes clear across the Atlantic Ocean.

As a practical solution I suggest that the money appropriated for

THE LITERARY ALCOVE
COLUMN OF COMMENTS
AND DISCUSSION ON
THINGS LITERARY.
By Alpheus Butler
Readers of this column are invited to send original poems and pithy comments on current literature for publication in this column.
It is hoped, through this column, to bring to the light of day talent for producing verse and for writing tersely and with wit and insight.
Send contributions to Alpheus Butler, Literary Editor, care of The Washington Tribune, 920 U street, northwest, Washington, D. C.
In the fall of this year a volume of prose and poetry by the younger generation will be published. Manuscripts of poetry short stories, and essays are desired and should be mailed to Editorial Offices, The Parnassian 1225 S street, northwest, Washington, D. C. This is an excellent opportunity for the younger and unknown writer.

In London there is soon to be produced a play entitled "Charles and Mary." The main theme of this play will be the lives of Charles and Mary Lamb.
Joan Temple, who wrote, "The Widow's Cruise" is the author. Many are interested in this play because Wordsworth and Coleride will figure among the principle characters.
In his latest volume dealing with the history of the poets and their poetry, Alfred Kreymborg has an interesting and epigrammatic way of characterizing certain of the immortals. His volume is entitled "Our Singing Strength" and is published by Coward-McCann in New York. Kreymborg calls Keats "the immortal lad overseas," "John Gould Fletcher "an impassioned monk," Carl Sandburg "the prairie gaolot," and Maxwell Bodenheim "the Mississippi Hamlet." He thinks Emily Dickinson is a "towdy" poet which seems to me to be rather an inept way of characterizing this shy and sensitive girl-poet.

With calm and wide-sprung eyes of pencil grey.
Whose decent parted hair denies all curl.
Whose temper is unruffled every day.
I bid you build your house of masonry.
With sheltered inglenook and apple bin.
It shall be clean and neat as any pin.
I give you back your heart-shaped brooch because
My gypsy ways are rough and windy wild:
Tumbling among the flying stars
I pause
To wish for you a milk-faced sober child...
I bid you quite forget the patter-
For I'm a witch and you a Salem man.
Isabel McLennan McMeekin.
In "Dear Judas" Robinson Jeffers advances an interesting hypothesis on the much-blamed Judas of biblical literature. Jeffers, in this poem, interprets Judas' act of betrayal as an act of love for Christ. The real motive was the desire on the part of Judas to see Christ become a martyr which would certainly result in the glorification of him as such in the later ages.
MY WORLD
I live in a world of beauty,
A world of color and light;
A world of princely glory,
Radiant day and night.
I live in a world of treasure,
A world of jewels and gold;
A world where wizards conjure
And mysteries unfold.
I live in a world of music,
A world of sweetest sound;
A world of song ecstatic,
Where joy and love abound.
I live in a world of daring,
A world of speed and death;
A wild, a mad race unsparing,
We watch with bated breath.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
EVEN KELLY MILLER
Kelly Miller, the sage of Howard University and the leader of the conservative school of thought pronounced in his column last week that, "there is a limit beyond which patience ceases to be a virtue." He says: "The Negro politician like Paul's definition of charity, believeth all things, hopeth all thing, endureth all things." "The political manipulators reply with never failing assurance upon the Negro's asinine qualities of dumbness, docility and patience."

An old gentleman was having trouble with his eyes and dropped in the office of doctor Oscar Quivers, at 924 U street to have his eyes examined.
"Well," said the doctor, "hard drinknig has brought this on so you will have to give up booze or go blind. You must choose between the two."

rate vessels. They are to travel separately in obeisance to the great American ged, "jim crowism." It is not surprising that our government should embark upon this plan. It is regretted that such a pilgrimage should have to be made under such conditions—especially to a foreign country which would make no such distinction in honoring the mothers of its dead; and it is hoped that our Secretary of War, the Honorable Patrick J. Hurley, will modify the plan, if the press reports of it are correct. The Gold Star mothers could travel on the same ships as one great group of hero-mothers, without doing violence to themselfs, without upsetting any American laws or customs, and without establishing any precedents. They do that in America.
Strong language for Mr. Miller.
Every word of it is true.
The Negro politician is the least
couragous of all human beings.
His fear is only transcended by
his doctility. Experience teaches
him nothing. His faith in those
who have lied to him through the
years is pearlle. He uses the most
illogical arguments to sustain his
position. His reasoning is as stupid
as that of an ass.
Is it any wonder then that the plight of the Negro grows worse from year to year? The white politician knows this type of Negro—a spineless creature waiting to be fed. And the intelligent Negroes permit their civic destiny to remain in his hands. In the final analysis those who follow such leadership are not one whit better than the docile doodlers who are unable to understand that a mainly stand gets more than a quiet acceptance of the crumbs from the table.
The inconsistency and incongruity of the arrangement to provide separate traveling accommodations for the two race groups of Gold Star mothers, and the introduction of a little comic drama into the plot lie in the fact that they must individually and collectively meet in the cemeteries in France and do their mourning together, where their sons—black and white—are buried together. It would seem that the women could share in a common sorrow and a common patriotism for a common country on a foreign soil without being attended by the spectre of a jim crow democracy.

JIM CROW GOES ABROAD
The war department has arranged to send the Gold Star mothers on a pilgrimage to the cemeteries of France where lie their sons who gave their lives "for democracy" in the great war. There are enrolled for the pilgrimage 10,600 white and 900 Negro women to make the proposed pilgrimage.

RUSSELL'S SUDDEN CHANGE
Why Russell had suddenly become so mannish and serious looking was puzzling his classmates, for he had never before carried himself so erect and looked so earnest as he had for the past few weeks.
True it was that this was his adolescent period when most boys lose their childish instincts and become more serious and the sudden change of height occure at this time but no one knew why he was so much in the power of these changes that he could not enjoy the jokes that his friends shared.
"Going to the game this evening, Rus?" inquired one of his friends descending the steps that led to their lockers.
"I don't think so, Jerry, I've some work to do," was his brief reply.
Jerry dared not say any more for fear that a matter of finance might be the cause and he didn't care to admit it.
Even at home, where one would expect him to be free of thought and humor, the sudden change was noticed in Russell both by mother and father.
“What’s happened to Russell recently?” asked Mrs. Codd of her husband as Russell shut the kitchen door, inside of which he had just finished the last meal of the day, then, “He never goes out to play any more and, has to ask me for money to go to the movies, he has not done that for over a month.”
“Well,” began the father slowly folding his napkin, “Don't worry, I was like that once. Most all boys at his age become mannish and serious.”
She didn't. Hence she considered his actions not unusual, but another matter that perplexed her was what he did with his earnings from the Corner Grocery on Saturdays. This she kept from the father but thought of it often. Another big change that was observed in Russell at school both by teacher and classmates was an increase in knowledge of the assigned lesson which showed more preparation than had taken place before this time. A question arose that could not be answered by anyone, which proved that the students had either forgotten the solution or just didn't study. This very question happened to be one that Russell drilled on and, to the amazement and surprise of the whole class, was answered by this former dull student. The teacher, for the first time, commended him, which, of course, made him feel proud.
As the time grew Russel's changes were more observable and more strengthened till it was a part that made him a perfect man. These sudden changes, of course, had some fundamental cause which was soon detected by his friends.
Entering one of his classes one day, Russell was overheard by one of his friends, saying to a girl, "Don't forget Friday," with the reply "all right."
What did this mean?—for it was thought that this would be the last thing in the world for Russell to do—talk with girls. And above all it sounded like an engagement, had been made of some sort. Well of all things.
There was no doubt about that, for a real engagement had been made and Jerry was on the look-out to see it carried out.
"Well, well," he said to simself, "The guy has gone and gotten the prettiest girl down here and walking home with her. By gosh he got a nerve all of a sudden."
In school Monday, Jerry approached Russell at recess and in a secluded spot conversed with him, for he had figured the thing out from the bottom on up.
"There's no use in trying," began Jerry, "to keep all this musky stuff from us—me I mean—because I've had my eye on you and I saw you Friday."
Russell was surprised to know that anyone had an idea about the matter for when he walked home—either with a male or by himself—he tried to keep out of everyone's sight. He thought that, to Jerry, it would not hurt to disclose the rumps.
“Well, Jerry,” he started with a smile—the first Jerry had seen in ages.“You have it all, and more is, that I met that girl last summer on my vacation but she didn’t return when I did, see, she was detained for some reason or the other which I don’t know. But she sure is a “Peach,” isn’t she?” Jeanne’s “I’ll say” just caught

Russell's ear as he hurried to respond to the ringing school bell.
Later in school that day Jerry told some of his acquaintances the cause of Russell's sudden change. Of what they saw I can truthfully say that she was quite pretty.

OUR RACE AS COMPARED
WITH ANY OTHER RACE
It seems as if some members of the white race think themselves superior to us, for instance Blease and Heflin. Yet what they think does not cause us to think so too. No persons knows any more about an individual than the individual himself. Then too people who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Our race in morals is just as high as the other race and so we our ability and ambition the thing we lack is opportunity and when we once do have the big opportunity we certainly are going to take advantage of it. Even now we are steadily rising though we are not allowed in certain places or to hold high positions.
We have many famous men of our race and women too for that matter. I will name a few that are living today. Prof. Kelly Miller, Mrs. Nannie Burroughs, Roland Hayes, and Oscar De Priest. Inez Selden (13).
Tomorrow is Marie's birthday. She will be nine years old. Her family was neither very poor, nor very rich. Marie's mother had thought of a plan. She was going to have a party. Her mother had asked ten of Marie's friends to come. The party was to be in the form of a moving picture show. The day came. Marie was up bright and early. She was to have her party at 2 o'clock. Now Marie had never been to a moving picture show. She had asked mother to take her to one today. The only answer she received was, "I'll see." But she waited patiently until 2 o'clock. Two o'clock came. It brought the children. Great was her surprise when the show came off. The first one she had ever seen. After the show, "Oh, mother!" was all that she could say. Her mother was very glad to see her little girl so happy.
And if you had been there, I think that you would have been happy too.

FOR THE MAN WHO FAILS
"The world is a snob, and the man who wins is the chap for its money's worth: and the lust for success causes half of the sins that are cursing the brave ole earth.
"For its fine to go up, and the worlds applause is sweet to the mortal ear. But the man who falls in a noble cause, is a hero that no less dear.
"Tis true enough that the laurel crown twines but for the victors brow; for many a hero has lain him down, with naught but the cypress bough.
"There are gallant men in the losing fight and as gallant deeds are done, as ever graced the captured height, or the battle grandly won."

Sorority Observes Founders Day
The twenty-second anniversary of the Omega chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, was held at the home of Mrs. Harriet B. Allen, 945 S street, northwest. The hostesses were Mdesdames Allen and Bernice Brown.
The program, which in part took the form of a symposium, was arranged and conducted by Miss Irma Craig. Very clever hand made programs, symbolic of the colors and emblem of the sorority (the ivy) were given to each of the thirty-four members present. The history of the sorority was graphically told by Miss Norma Boyd. Miss Maxine Eckstein recited the sorority poem, "The Ivy." In their own individual ways Miss Ethel Harris, Miss Corinne Martin, Mrs. Lucy M. Holmes, Mrs. B. Beatrix Scott, and Mrs. Louise J. Lovett told "What the Sorority Means to Me." The Sorority song was sung in a very inspiring manner by Miss Carolyn Grant, who was accompanied by Miss Madeline Coleman. As a fitting climax to this most impressive program Miss Ruth E. Weatherless, the basileus, led in the renewal of Sorority vows.
The hostesses arranged many unique and clever games. A long table was artistically decorated with hand-made pink rose baskets, ivy, fern, sweet peas, tulips, and green and pink candles—all symbolic of Alpha Kappa Alpha. A huge birthday cake adorned the center of the table. The color scheme was effected even in the tasty refreshments.
Many members of long standing returned with new inspiration, among whom was Miss Gladys L. Peters, who after one year's study in the University of California, received her Master of Arts degree in Mathematics.

RANDALL PARENTS HEAR LECTURE
At the last meeting of the Parent-Teacher Association of Randal Junior High School, Mrs. O. M. Walker, teacher of Geography and History, presented a stereocontest lectures on the lives of Frederick Douglass and Paul Lawrence Dunbar. The lecture was especially appropriate since the meeting came in the midst of the celebration of Negro History. In connection with the same meeting, some of the pupils of the school presented a dramatization portraying the importance of the celebration and emphasizing the achievements of prominent Negroes of the past, as well as those of the present.
At this meeting, the attendance was very ample, and shows that the clientele of the school is awakening more and more to their responsibility in co-operating with the faculty in the interest of the children. At the roll call it was found that the senior class or 9B grade was best represented. This shows that the interest of the parents is steadily increasing.

RHEUMATIC PAIN CAN BE RELIEVED
There is nothing "hit or miss" about Prescription C-2223. This effective treatment is correct in principle. It attacks rheumatism, gout and neuralgia at the source by helping to clear the system of accumulated waste matter and poison acids which are in most cases the cause of pain, inflammation and swelling.
As safe as it is effective, too, because it was formulated by a well-known physician and registered under its original number.
Ask your druggist for the large size bottle of Prescription C-2223 today. If you fail to get relief after taking this prescription as directed, return the bottle to the druggist from whom you purchased it and your money will be refunded.

As the result of an altercation at 1712 Seaton street, last week. Acker Johnson. 35, a chauffeur, residing at 1757 Willard street, northwest, is in Freedmen's Hospital with a gun-shot wound in the stomach, and Cephas Coleman, of 1712 Seaton street, is under arrest pending the outcome of Johnson's condition. The argument is said to have started over some triviality, on the top floor of the Seaton street house when a fight started. Coleman drew a gun and shot Johnson, then surrendered to police of No. 8 Precinct. Johnson's condition is undetermined.

Ten-Year Fight
Wins $6,500,000
TULSA, Okla.—After a ten-year legal battle in the courts here over a 200-acre tract of land, between Mrs. Mary Harris Wallace, of Kansas City, Mo., and the Texas Oil Company, Mrs. Wallace was awarded a verdict which places $6,500,000 in her hands. The amount won was $13,000,000, but Mrs. Wallace's contract with her lawyers called for one-half of the amount obtained. She inherited this tract from her grandmother. The Texas company disputed her right to the land for 19 years. However, she won and is now in Tulsa collecting her six and a half millions.

TAU DELTA SIGMA HOLDS
LINCOLN-DOUGLASS DAY
Sunday afternoon, February 16, the Tau Delta Sigma Law Fraternity held its annual Lincoln-Douglass celebration at the Twelfth Street Branch of the Y.M.C.A. Mr. Walter Bayless, chief justice, presided and introduced the special speaker, Prof. William H. Richards, formerly of the law school of Howard University, now retired. Prof. Richards, who was a personal friend of the late Fredrick Douglass, recalled the incidents that were accountable in life for shaping the destiny of the magnetic Douglass. The speaker emphasized the fact that the one lesson at least should be learned from such a noble, patriotic, and unselfish life, should be "solidarity". Following the speaker, a musical program was rendered.

Sweeten the stomach—instantly
About two hours after eating many people suffer from sour stomachs. They call it indigestion. It means not the stomach nerves have been ver-stimulated. There is excess acid. The way to correct it is with an alkali, which neutralizes many imes its volume in acid. The right way is Phillips' Milk of darmessia — just a tasteless dose in later. It is pleasant, efficient and armless. It has remained the standard with physicians in the 50s since its invention.

"Tea Room Girl Didn't Visit Me," Says N.Y. Physician
DOCTOR DENIES RELATIONS WITH MISS FITZHUGH
New York Physician Says Young Woman Was Not Coming to See Him
Dr. Robert Craft, former Freedmen's interne now practicing medicine in New York City, denied this week that he had any relations with Miss Eva Fitzhugh and the young woman was coming to the hospital to see him at the time he was in Washington in 1927.
Attorney Charles H. Houston, who represented the defense in the famous Curtis-Fitzhugh case, said in summing up his case before the jury that "at the same time Miss Fitzhugh was having trouble with Dr. Curtis she was running out to see another man, Interne Robert Craft."
In a letter to the Tribune this week Dr. Craft through his attorney, William T. Andrews, says:
"You realize how easily the public is willing to read unintended meanings into reports, particularly in cases in which moral issues are involved. It is for this reason that Dr. Craft asks that you carry a short news item setting forth his connection with the case or rather how his name happened to be mentioned in the case. He asks this because uncorrected misimpressions can seriously handicap a young professional man.
"Mr. Houston has furnished me the following with regard to the matter:
"His name was brought into the case by Miss Fitzhugh when she stated that in the month of July, 1927, she went out to Freedmen's Hospital frequently to visit an interne friend. I obtained from her upon cross-examination the statement that this friend's name was Dr. Robert Craft.'
Attorney Andrews' letter continues:
"I proved by other witnesses that Dr. Craft did not begin his internship until October 1, 1927, and that he was not in town in July, 1927.
"Dr. Craft, on his behalf, says that he has never had any relations with Miss Fitzhugh which were in any way unbecoming or immoral and that as far as he knows she is a lady of becoming conduct. This statement is made without taking sides in the Fitzhugh-Curtis case."
MORE BOOKER T.
(Continued from page 1)
of life, but the bitters; not pleasure, but pain. Thus he continues:
"I gave all I had to try to find happiness, and it has only brought me sorrow and grief. My life as a married man has been a failure. I paid a great price for love and companionship, and as yet I haven't found it.
Tricks of Women
"I have experienced every feeling of torture, misery, and unhappiness just for love. I loved my wife more than all the world. For that love I paid the full price. There is only one thing left for me now—the spirit of yesterday. I have one motive left—the desire to forget and to forgive. I shall ask this one thing of the public—to withhold your judgment until you have read the real facts of a man who knew very little concerning the tricks of women of the world and how they win your heart and later on break it with grief.
"I wanted a home, wife, and children. I have the children—at least. I support them. But a wife and home, was only a dream."
Legacy Squandered
Not only does Washington claim to have given his wife all that he had of love, spirit, and of energy. Not only did he build around her a life from which he believes she rudely and heartlessly withdrew herself, but he gave her all his worldly goods.
"I met Nettie B. Hancock in college," he writes. "She seemed to be such a charming girl in those days. I thought she was the only girl in the world for me. Soon we were married. We lived happily together until my father died. He willed one-third of the estate to me, personal and real. I gave to my wife all of my inheritance from my father, which included approximately eighteen thousand dollars. I bought her real estate and automobiles that would cover over that amount. For nearly eight years I have given her all of my monthly salary besides. Today I am a broken-hearted man, deendent upon a salary for support. These things are on record.
The bitterness of Washington's remorse is seen in the concluding statement of the first installment of his story. In the old days he seems to have sensed that the girl did not love him, but he thought that he might buy love. But now he knows he erred. He concludes: "I married the daughter of a gambler, a girl who knew every trick in the game of love, anhow to make a man pay who loved the fair sex. Today, I realize my mistake. I tried to buy love, and the price was too dear."

Well, imagine my surprise when the genuine basketball fan-experts of Dunbar let me in on the dope that Dunbar is in for another spectacular court battle with Armstrong! An' I thought that it was all over, but Lady Luck sympathizers with Dunbar so accordingly we get another chance. The Dunbar tossers played Phelps last Wednesday. The score was Dunbar, 37; Phelps, 27. The site was the Y.M.C.A. on Twelfth street and a good sized crowd from both schools were on hand. The Phelps players provided the thrills and Dunbar furnished the art. Believe it or not.
Armstrong romped with Cardozo last Friday, to the tuneful score of 26-24. Everyone knows of this particular Armstrong court season and its outcome so Cardozo put up a valiant fight which certainly ought to go down on the pages of history. The hair brush score is still being discussed. These boys' assemblies are getting to be just the thing nowadays at Dunbar. One was held last Tuesday morning in behalf of the Physical Education Department and Mr. E. B. Henderson.

head of the department was the speaker. Mr. Smith, the principal opened the assembly with a few remarks. In his brief talk, he discussed the physical and mental development of every boy. Mr. Henderson stressed the need of co-operation on the part of every member of the physical education department as to the matter of punctuality and various other vital matters concerning his work. Mr. Dvall Evans, one of the instructors, also gave a short talk on other miner details. If any high school students have a physical breakdown, it won't be the fault of any member associated with our physical education courses!
The students of all three schools who are planning on entering the National Oratorical Contest are hard at work on their various orations. The Dunbar entrants are particularly promising and Mr. Newton Hill, the sponsor promises us another complete victory as was done last year by the brilliant oration of Charles Thomas, a Dunbar senior. Time will tell. Every year there is held at the Columbia University in New York City a National Conference of school newspaper interests and Dunbar is represented at each meeting. This year the Observer has selected Charles Fearing, Jr., the editor and Ulysses Lee, to fulfill this role. They will leave for New York on March 12 for a
sojourn of five days. During this time they will go to various conferences and exercises held at Columbia University and in their spare moments give greater New York their once over. You see it pays to be in this newspaper racket after all! Armstrong is ever entertaining the idea of giving to Washington something novel in the way of spring presentation on that ideal stage of theirs, and this year it is to be a revue. Now whether Broadway is to be the background we publicity hounds do not know as yet.
The show of shows is under the direction of Miss Ida Mae Hall and Miss Spratlin. The cast will include the best of the talented students and Dunbar is to be well represented so we hear. Well, we know of the usual standard of offerings at Armstrong so you can bet I will be there. It is to come off in early spring which I hope won't affect it like the first onion of spring.
Now that warm weather is on the horizon, although still a bit far in sight, spring was officially felt last week in all three of the high schools.

MORE NEGRO THAN WHITE BABIES DIE
Report Shows Infant Mortality Among Colored Higher
Negro infant mortality rates in every area studied were higher than the corresponding rate for white infants, according to information recently made available by the Public Health Service.
This difference was most marked in the urban areas of the south
while the Negro infant mortality rates among the rural districts of the south were nearer to those of the white infant mortality rates than in any other area, it was stated. Richmond and Baltimore On the whole, infant mortality rates among the Negroes show trends similar to those shown by infant mortality death rates among the white populations of the same communities, it was pointed out. In two cities, Baltimore and Richmond, Negro infant mortality has declined more rapidly than that of the white population, it was shown. The ratio of Negro to white infant deaths is highest between the fifth and tenth months, it was stated, though there has been little improvement in the death rates from diseases of early infancy in either race.
These studies were carried on by the Public Health Service in urban and rural areas of a group of northern and southern states, in urban and rural Maryland, and in four cities, Richmond, Va., Baltimore, Md., Charleston, S.C., and New Orleans, La, it was stated.

One Publisher Quotes Bible to Prove Dreams do Come True
From Pittsburgh comes the latest innovation to the "numbers" packet which has held Washington in its vice-like grip for the past few years, defying the municipal enforcement authorities to break its hold.
The latest means of wringing dimes from the superstitious gambling public is a small pamphlet issued weekly that is supposed to give "red hot tips" on the winning Clearing House number combinations.
The pamphlet is known as Tips, a national hot number publication, and each week gives a list of numbers which are supposed to come out. One number is quoted in large type, but the exact day that the number is supposed to hit is not divulged. Forty-five other numbers are suggested, and as only six numbers can possibly hit in the course of a week, it is plain how the public is hoodwinked, yet the pamphlets are being sold by the thousands and the faith invested in the tips contained therein is making a fortune for local lottery brokers.
Quotes Bible
Another pamphlet that also retails for ten cents a copy and is going like wildfire is published by a local concern. It is known as Prof. Scountemups Numeral Weekly.
In proving his ability to interpret dreams the publisher quotes the Bible:
"There is some reality in dreams, says an old proverb, and this is proved by thousands of examples. In the Bible we read about many cases of manifestations by dreams, viz.: Gen. 28.37, 40, 41, and even in the New Testament: Matt. 1:20; Matt. 11:12-13; Acts 9:10, and many other places.
"Cicero, the greatest Greek philosopher and statesman, reported several remarkable dreams which, in reality afterwards were fulfilled.
"Having separated the year into four quarters, spring, summer, fall and winter, and numbering them, first taking the number of one thousand and dividing it into four quarters as follows: first quarter, 1 to 250; second, 251 to 500; third, 501 to 750; fourth, 751 to 1,000, thereby studying and numbering each quarter separately. It required a great deal of my time with intensive study.
"Knowing the average person cannot afford a two-to-five dollar volume of my work I will endeavor to publish and distribute a part of this work twice a week at 10 cents per copy."
Have Year Book
The Pittsburgh publishers also announce a year book that will soon be placed on sale at one dollar a copy. Many schemes have been evolved to relieve the gullible of their money. Dream interpreters have charged as high as five dollars to tell the meaning of individual dreams-and corresponding number.
Wells Released On Charge of Breaking Into Offices
William "Long Shot" Wells, well known man about town and local racehorse man, was taken into custody by Eighth Precinct detectives, on complaint of Miss Susie Blackwell, U street realtor and business woman.
After a few minutes questioning Wells was released. Miss Blackwell claims she found an iron in an apartment rented by Wells from ger which fit a similar Iver which burglars used to pry open the door to her offices some weeks ago. Miss Blackwell claims she lost a sum of money when her place was broken into.
Wells was arrested by Miss Blackwell two weeks ago and charged with threats against her life. After the judge read several letters which Miss Blackwell had pushed under Wells' door the case was dismissed.
"Long, Shot" says at one time Miss Pell well was a "sweetie" of the day and she is doing this to get revenge, as he has quit her. Wille carries a lock of hair when he says was cut from Miss Pell's head sometime ago when the two were on good terms.

At the meeting of the Parent-Teachers Association of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School on Tuesday night, truancy was discussed and the editorial in The Tribune of last week. It was said that the Junior High schools have students on the border age of attending school and going to work, and therefore the falling away is greater in the junior high than in the grades or senior high. Plans were discussed for establishing a school library for the school. It is possible that the wide vestibules to the assembly hall which is used for a study room and the vestibules can be used for a library. The Board of Education appropriates only $60.00 per year for books for this school.
Mrs. M. M. White, of the domestic art department, had the work of her pupils on exhibit. The garments were made by the girls from the 7th to the 9th grades, ranging from underwear to silk street dresses, well made and designed. Pupils of Miss E. E.

Mr. DePriest was the guest of the Young Men's Civic Club, Polish, who presented him in honor of Dr. Rudolph G. Tenerowicz, the present mayor of this city, who is up for re-election. Representative DePriest and Mayor Tenerowicz have been close friends for a number of yeas, and the Congressman's presence here aroused considerable curiosity, he being the first Negro Congressman to ever speak in this city. The largest hall would not hold more than half of the crowd that was eager to hear and to see him.

PRESENT RELIGION DOES NOT SATISFY H. U. PROF. SAYS
Professor Stuart Nelson, of the Department of Philosophy and assistant to the president of Howard University, was the guest speaker of the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity at one of its regular open forums held at the fraternity house on Sunday.
The topic for discussion was "The Problem of Religion in the Modern World." A special feature of the program which immensely pleased the overflow audience was the rendition of vocal solos by Miss Ruth Wade, a violin solo by Mr. Heywood, and a dramatic skit by Miss-Lula Bartley. Prof. Nelson began his discussion by stating that religion in a modern world must "change or die," because men, worshiping at the shrine of science, are not prone to accept any doctrine merely on the basis of its age, and religion is being subjected to a critical inquiry. Prof. Nelson defined religion as "the loyalty of an individual to a supreme ideal," something which satisfies his deepest emotions and which he is willing to accept on faith. That the present form of religion does not adequately satisfy this need can be attributed, the speaker pointed out, to its own weaknesses. The first of these is the poor type of leader, which fact is attested to by the revelation that the majority of the clergy of a certain denomination were ignorant and unable to interpret the scriptures, and the second is the over-emphasis placed on symbols. Hence, Prof. Nelson concluded, in order to solve this problem of criticism of the modern mind, the present religion must produce able leaders, men capable of presenting, not symbols, but a beautiful and acceptable ethical code as set forth by Christ, "a religion of love and service."
The keen interest of the audience was evidenced by the lively discussion which followed the address.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION CARRIES FIGHT TO WHITEHURST
Members Claim Repair Shop On Playground Site A Blow Residents of the section facing on McMillan Park, former playground site, have voiced a vigorous protest against the erection there of a Government repair shop which they claim will cause their property to depreciate.
A special committee composed of E. F. Harris, chairman; Guy Tinner and Wm. R. Fauntroy, representing the Bloomingdale Civic Association, conferred with Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, co-ordinator and Chief Engineer of the District of Columbia, at 11 o'clock Tuesday, at the District Building, relative to the proposed repair shop to be removed from First and Canal streets southwest, to a site on the McMillan Park, Second and Bryant streets, northwest, a more vigorous protest has never been registered with the support of 100 per cent of the property owners against the project.
Along with the committee went Geo. C. Scurlock, chairman of the committee on legislation; Mrs. J. A. Cuney, president of the Bloomingdale Civic Association; Mr. E. A. Bryant, chairman of the committee on public works, and the Rev. D. E. Wiseman, president of the Howard Park Civic Association. Mr. Harris was spokesman for the association and presented a copy of the petition of protest addressed to the Secretary of War requesting the rescinding of the award by the Federal Government to the commissioners together with photographs of the proposed site and the present repair shops at First and Canal streets, southwest. He called attention to the fact that the present owners along Bryant street and vicinity can ill afford the depreciation in their property valuations and suggested that the commissioners would not have selected Sixteenth street or Massachusetts avenue for their repair shop. Captain Whitehurst stated that the Bureau of Efficiency and not the commissioners had made the selection and that the matter is pending before Congress.
The committee advised that a hearing on the site would be demanded of Congress and from the present outlook the Bureau of Efficiency and the commissioners had better search for a more appropriate site as the association would back its members to the limit in their protest. Mr. Scurlock was present for the purpose of gathering data for the committee on legislation, which will handle the matter should court action be evident. Following Mr. Harris, Rev. Wiseman made a few observations and the conference was closed.
Curtis New Trial Plea Still Up In Air
Justice Frederick L. Siddons has under advisement a motion to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial in the case of Dr. Arthur L. Curtis, prominent physician against whom a jury returned a verdict of $5,000 damages in favor of Miss Eva Fitzhugh, the "tea room girl."
The motion for a new trial was argued in circuit court No. 1 of the District Supreme Court, last Friday, by ex-Judge Daniel Thew Wright, who has been retained by Dr. Curtis with Attorney Charles H. Houston, the trial lawyer. Granting of the motion was opposed by Attorney Austin F. Canfield of the law firm of Lambert & Yeatman, attorneys for Miss Fitzhugh.

He published which he set by hand before.
Showfolk excepted, perhaps no professions boasts of as many eccentrics among its ranks as the racket of Journalism. It wasn't long after I cast my lot with the fourth estate, that I realized that there was something different about it all. That life to this type of people is not something live and tangible, but a sort of panorama unfolding daily—something to write about. This constantly shifting of scenes—a baby show at noon, a hanging at night—leaves them fidgety—but what's the use being so polite? I think they're just plain cookoo.
I start with one whom I know was positively haywire. I met this chap in a police precinct busily poring over the magistrate's docket. Having never seen him before on any of the scandal sheets of the town, I buzzed to the desk sergeant after he had gone, to know who he was.
The sergeant made rings around his head with his finger meaning he had a screw loose and answered "Oh, that's Harry Hart, he's been gathering news for years."
For two years after that, I met Harry daily. He was on every scene of action, rode on the patrol, interviewed people, took a million notes a day, but never went near a newspaper office. What he did with his information no one knew. He just did it for the thrill. He had been bitten by the newspaper bug and was never cured.
Paul Riley, another chap of my acquaintance, would get up an hour of the night to attend a fire. He had a roadster parked in front of his house and would follow a fire engine all over town in nothing but his pajama, coat and trousers. He would rather see a house burn down than find a thousand dollar bill. If someone isn't suffocated or hurt, he's disappointed.
George Tyler has a mania for theatres. He joined the dining car service so he could visit the playhouses of various cities during layovers. He knows every actor by name and he learns the life history of every chorus girl before the week's engagement is up. He won't stay put on any newspaper staff, correspond from every city from New York to Chicago. Eva Jessye, who held down the society editor's desk opposite me on a nationally known rag, got fired because she came to work as she pleased. She told the ed. that she was not ready to quit yet, and held her job for a month from sheer nerve. To everybody's surprise, she packed herself off one day and opened with her own company of Jubilee Singers in one of the biggest movie houses on Broadway. She was last heard of on the coast directing the chorus for "Hallelujah" and the like.
Melvin Chisum-bawls people out who are two minutes late for an appointment, even tho he hasn't anything to do for days to come. He plays hide and seek with the biggest politicians of the country and during heated campaigns gets appropriations for newspapers that only exist in his fertile imagination.
Claude Barnett, editor of the Associated Negro Press, never stays at hotels in strange cities, but pays full rates in private homes in the cities that he visits.
Chester Washington, of the Smoky City Courier, wanders around town all night. He will go anywhere on a minute's notice and will leave his laundry scattered in a half dozen cities at the same time and will call for it or when he comes back. In the summer, he will eat watermelon at any and every stand he comes to, but will not eat alone often buying a piece for the proprietor or the waitress, just to have company. We attended a monster convention-upon which he wrote several columns although I never saw him in the convention hall during the whole week.
David Kellam, of the Chicago Defender, was sent from the ganghaven to cover the same pow wow. He rode all the way to Nashville, Tenn., and back to Cleveland with a delegation just to hear the band play on the platform when the train stopped. He takes the name of everybody he meets and puts itin a notebook. He wears square glasses without rims and takes an hour to dress. He is known as "Bud Billikin" and knows more boys and girls than any other newspaper man.
Orrin C.Evans, of the Philadelphia Tribune wrote a short story every week for two years, writing each at his typewriter in one sitting. His vocabulary is inexhaustible and he can make one sentence fill a column without breaking the connection.
Ohie McCullum, of the New York Amsterdam News, gets sore with the editor while working on a Gary, Indiana rag and when they were expecting him to report for work, they saw him passing the office with a tool kit on his way to build a house. He wrote excellent poetry while working in a coal mine in West Virginia.
Norman McGhee, editor of the Cleveland Call Post, carries peanuts in his pockets all the time and eats them between meals.
Harry Smith, editor of the Gazette in the same town, prints the same articles in his paper for weeks at the time, but never misses an issue.
William O'Kelly, editor of the Amsterdam News, wears knickers and a straw hat on Seventh Avenue in the summertime. Carl Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, curls his legs under him in a big chair and talks his stories into a dictaphone for hours at the time. He never uses a typewriter, but writes with a soft black ink in an unintelligible hand.

Louis R. Lauter, capital correspondent for several newspapers, lives alone in a handsomely appointed three room apartment, but never eats at home.
