TECH PRINCIPAL CALLED COWARD CAPITAL WEEKLY Rev. R. W. Brooks Was Taking Their Presents and Clothes to Their Apt. While the pastor, his wife and the congregation of the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church were in the church religiously ushering in the New Year at Watch Night services, thieves were busy on the outside stealing goods worth over $500 from the pastor's automobile. The pastor, Rev. R. W. Brooks and his wife, Mrs. Ruth Brooks, formerly Miss Ruth Demond, Randall Junior High School teacher, were transporting gifts and other personnel belongings brought from Nashville, Tenn., where they were married last Sunday to their new apartment at 1084 Euclid street, northwest, in the car. The robbers broke the lock and handle on the door of the car, entered and packed the goods into the rumble seat of their own car said to have been a Chrysler and made their get-away. An eye-witness, Anthony Wool which is across the street, notified which i across the street, notified the pastor after the car sped away. Police were summoned and given description of the two men along with the alleged number of the hives' car, however, at a late four Monday no trace of the robbers had been found. Rev. Brooks was called to the Second Precinctunday night to give a more detailed description of the articles missing. The pastor is of the opinion that the robbers were attracted to the car by signs telling that they were newly-weds which someone hung on the machine when he parked his sedan before entering church. Among the things stolen were four suit cases of clothes including three new suits of the pastor's, one of which was a Tuxedo, new dresses belonging to the bride, five pairs of shoes, shirts, ties stockings, towels, blankets and a fraternity pin. SON QUARRELS WITH MOTHER THEN TAKES GAS Apparently tired as the result of a quarrel with his mother, Joseph Jones, 20, attempted to commit suicide by taking gas at his home, 1329 V street, northwest, early Monday morning. The young man was in an "undetermined" condition at Freedman's Hospital late Monday after having been found unconscious in the bathroom of his home with the gas jet turned on. The Fire Rescue Squad rendered first aid and later removed him to the hospital. The mother, Sadie Jones, told police, she had quarreled with her son over his failure to pay a board bill prior to his act. The youth became very angry and went stairs. Later Mrs. Jones, detecting a gas odor in the house, investigated and found her son in an unconscious condition. Seeks Funds For New Schools HOUMA, La. (ANP)—An educational rally in the interest of schools was held in the New Salem Baptist Church, here. The principal speakers were Rev. E. Smith, Rev. S. L. Walker, Rev. O. E. Badie and Rev. H. H. Cazabat. Ground has been purchased and bids left for the erection of a six-room Roswald school to cost $14,000. FIRST ST., S. E., WASHINGTON, D. C. AL Y H PRI Washington Tribune DEAN LUCY SLOWE TALKS ON COLLEGE YOUTH AS LEADERS Tells Forum Audience Minority is Almost Always Right "Is the college man fulfilling the leadership expected of him" was the subject discussed by Dean Lucy D. Slowe, dean of women at Howard University Sunday at the Baltimore Forum. In her talk Dean Slowe said it was almost impossible to define a college man or woman and confined her speech to three types of leaders, religious, educators, and political leaders, She explained the type of leadership the race has been laboring under since its freedom from slavery and expressed the view that the church had not entirely failed in its duty. The dean, however, said there had been too much talk and too little action on the part of racial groups. "For over fifty years we have simply talked. . . "and so here we are in 1932, very bad off" added Dean Slowe. The church was the only organization which could have taken the Negro in his unrative state and molded his thought at the time of freedom. Religious leaders although not always the best characters, have contributed a good portion of the leadership to the race. Speaking upon the political leaders Dean Slowe advanced the thought prevalent among the best minds of the race when she said, "The G. O. Pa has always seemed to forget, very soon after the election of a president, governor, mayor, or city council." She continued, "The Republican party seems to have thought its obligations to the race for their votes, has been paid when a police court judge, street cleaner or messenger has been appointed." Old political leaders would have the race believe that the Republican party was the ship and that all else was the sea. This idea was discredited by the dean as she continued. "The minority is usually right" declared the dean of women. Concluding her speech Dean Slowe spoke of the young persons coming out of school and entering the life of the community, she said. "If they are going to justify the large expenditures of vast amounts of money, these youn people should be heard from in a constructive way throughout the country." "I hope I am wrong," she concluded, "and if I am I hope you will tell me." At the conclusion of th main speech the members of the audience were allowed to ask questions and conduct an open discussion upon the subject. Mr. Howard Gross was the first to gain the floor and bought gales of applause as he forcefully and eloquently spoke upon the failure of the college man and woman to help those less fortunate. He scored the assumed superficialities and false culture on the part of college trained persons. A noted silence fell over the auditorium when Mr. Gross finished. After the talk b. Mr. Gross, Dean Slowe answered questions put from the floor. Cab Driver Arrested For Snatching Purse Containing $25 and Ring Clarence Daw, 1444 S street, northwest, told police, that he was robbed of $25 in cash and a diamond ring valued at $150, Saturday night. Second Precinct police arrested George S. Shumate, a cab driver, in connection with the robbery. Shumate is alleged to have snatched the billfold containing the money and the ring when Daw attempted to pay him after a ride in his cab. Dashi Vol. XI, No. 35 15 Lync AND I HIS MARYLAND AND HE FORGOT TO MENTION THIS IN HIS MESSAGE WEST VIRGINIA MARYLAND OSCAR WILLIAMS BRUTAL POLICE TRIO GET YEAR AND $500 FINE Third Degree Methods Result in Sentence of Three District Cops As a result of expose by the Washington Tribute, two District policemen were given one year prison sentences and fines of $500 each while a third was given a year in jail on brutality charges, in the District Supreme Court, Monday. The brutal cops receiving the fines and sentences were James A. Mostyn and William R. Laflin. The latter was involved sometime ago in the beating of two Howard University students on the school campus. The third man, former Detective Sergent Robert Barrett was given the year's imprisonment, but was spared the fine. In passing sentence on the men Justice James M. Proctor said: "They used deliberate, premediated, and methodical torture to gain a confession. I hope they have not convicted others on such confessions and am glad they didn't get a chance to take the witness stand and send this man to jail on such a confession." The former policemen were convicted on charges of beating James Henry Harker, white, prisoner at the First Prescinct. The fight against police brutality was started by the Tribune three years ago when several colored men were beaten at the First Precinct. Efforts to bring the guilty officers to trial were futile when the Department of Justice failed to find complaining witnesses. Po- (Continued on page two) 15 Lynchings in the United States in 1931 SOCIETY LEADERS QUIT NITE CLUB AFTER JIMCROW Judge Cobb Flays Management When Whites Only are Admitted Several of Washington society leaders walked out of what purported to be a jimcrow breakfast dance at the new Crystal Caversn Night Club, Friday morning after it was learned that whites had been served exclusively at the opening New Year's eve. Those to walk out were Judge James A. Cobb, Miss Lucille Washington and Dr. Arthur Curtis. In an interview with the Tribune, Judge Cobb said he had received an invitation to be present at the breakfast dance and in a conversation with the management he learned that no colored were admitted to the club earlier in the evening. He became indignant and with Mrs. Washington. On the way out he met Dr. Curtis who also refused to enter the club. Judge Cobb Protests Following the edict of District Attorney Leo Rover that "there would be no black and tan night clubs in the District as long as I am district attorney," night club managers have been up a tree trying to meet with the edict and please their patronage. Attorney Perry Howard said this week that he was invited to the breakfast dance, but went on official business and not as a guest. He said he "knew little about night clubs." N.A.A.C.P. Starts Probe Judge Cobb took the matter up with the local branch of the N.A. A.C.P., and that association is conducting a separate investigation into the whole affair.

The man was found by Elsie Lyles, landlady, early Tuesday morning, with a .32 calibre revolver still clasped in his hand. An ambulance was summoned and physicians said the man had been dead for some time. The bullet entered his right temple and came out on the left side of his head. Two notes, one instructing police who to notify and the other directing the disposal of his clothing and other belongings, both addressed to friends were found by police. Relatives and friends were unable to explain why the man took his life. People's Congregational "Installation Services" At the service in People's Congregational Church, next Sunday morning, Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor, will use as his sammon topic, "A Rayman's Mission." In connection with this service all officers for the ensuing year will be installed.

N.A.A.C.P.FORCED OUT OF SCOTTSBORO DEFENSE CASE International Labor Defense Assumes Full Control; Darrow and Hayes Quit NEW YORK—(ANP)—In a hectic legal skirmish last Monday which followed sundry reconnoitring throughout the last eight months, attorneys for the International Labor Defense routed for the time being the legal representatives of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and advanced to a point where it seems probable that they will be the ones to plead the cause of the eight Scottsboro victims before the Supreme Court of Alabama, January 21. The N.A.A.C.P. attorneys were Clarence Darrow, of Chicago and Arthur Garfield Hays, of New York, general counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union. The chief attorney for the LLD, in George W. Chamlee, sr., former attorney general, of the Tennessee state legislature, Irving Schwab, Joseph Brooksky, Carol King and Taub. These two groups of lawyers engaged in a wordy battle at Birmingham as to what each group should represent in defense of the boys. Both groups asserted that lives of the boys. From that point on they differed. According to Walter White, secretary of the N.A.A.C.P., four of the boys had told him that they wanted his organization to defend the boys, four others had said that they favored the N.A.A.C.P., subject to the advice of their kin.

BENNETT FLAYS McKINLEY HIGH PRINCIPAL IN LETTER TO SCHOOL BOARD That group of the Washington public which I have the honor of representing on the Board found itself considerably disturbed over the published report of the cause of the cancellation of the football game between the McKinley High School and the High School of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. A football game means little to the general public but when the cancellation of a game is due to a prejudice which is subversive to good citizenship, then it becomes the symptom of a condition which has no place in a public school system. The public spends its money for the training of its pupils to become good citizens. A course of instruction which tends to develop a sense of superiosity, based not upon merit and moral worth, but upon the color of one's skin or special group, has no place in a Democracy which produced a Lincoln and which sprang from the social material of Colonial America. We have entered upon the discussion of character training in our schools. Mere words or a collection of rules will be uneaseless demonstrated in the lives of those who are placed in authority. Society is never helped by the preaching of one thing and the practice of its opposite. American civilization is the product of the contributions of the Nations. White, black, brown, and even yellow have entered into it, and going back to our earliest history the contributions were not of the choicest. It is not held against the descendants of Colonial America that their ancestors were thus conditioned. Should it be held against the black man who through deceit was led to make his contribution? As opportunity has been given he has been one wilt behind? If he has not progressed as rapidly as others, is it his fault? Has he not embraced every opportunity given? Remember, if he has not advanced as rapidly in education you need only to consult the records to find the reason. If he seems to be devious, he has been an apt pupil and in ignorance he is temptious of the lessons taught when the other group was nearest his level. To slap one in the face who is trying to fit himself for American citizenship, to say to others who are being fitted for the same thin "You must not play with him because of the color of his skin," is not only an insult to his colleagues, but amacks of smobbery and cowardice. Were our schools private enterprises maintained for selected groups or classes such an attitude would be deplorable and would warrant the condemnation of all right-minded citizens, but our schools are maintained by the public for the express purpose of making good citizens, and if the elements of class distinction, race hatred, and implied superiority because of one's birth or social origin enter into that training the money spent was wasted, because the result will not be satisfactory. The world is asking today, not who you are nor what you are, but what can you do with heart, head and hand? Today McKinley will not play because a colored boy is on the team. What guarantee has the public that tomorrow she will not refuse because a Jew or one with a different religious view is playing? The principal of McKinley, as an educator, ought to have known that in the high schools of Pennsylvania Jews, Negroes, and Romantics are to be found. It would be for him only a lucky accident if he found a team without one. He was guilty of poor sportsmanship, to say the least, to crawl out of a contract in which he was led by his own ignorance. May I remind you that football is a form of physical training—the only reason why it is in our schools. It is not a form of social amity. Were it that, I would have no complaint. The selection of social intimates is a personal privilege which belongs to every man and the training which would enable a right selection is most desirable. In athletics, as in other subjects, the boy in the high school is probably preparing for further school life. With the lesson taught by the principal of McKinley he will find himself in strange company should he go to Cornell, Columbia, Amherst, or Dartmouth. If he is called upon to defend his flag he will find himself again in strange company, for the colored man has never been a slager. In my mind, the attitude of the principal of McKinley disqualifies him to train citizens for twentieth century methods. ROSENWALD DIES IN CHICAGO,ILL. CHICAGO, IL—Julius Rosenwald, one of the country's greatest philanthropists, died in Chicago on Wednesday from hardening of the arteries. Mr. Rosenwald was 89 years of age at the time of his death.

FIVE METHODIST SUPERINTENDENTS DEPLORE LYNCHING Representing 40,000 Members, They Denounce Spirit of Lawlessness The District Superintendents of the Washington Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, representing portions of the states of Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, and Pennsylvania, assembled in regular session, Bishop W. F. McDowell presiding, unanimously deplore the spirit of lawlessness which swept the towns of Lewisburg, West Virginia, and Salisbury, Maryland, resulting in the lynching of three men. These lynchings are all the more deplorable because in nooth cases the suspects were in the custody of the law. Two of them in jail, while Matthew Williams, a third victim, was in a hospital vard and so bandaged as not to be able to see. He was taken, hung to a tree and afterward burned in the presence of many of the citizens. "In days like these when economic conditions create in nearly every community unusual social conditions which challenge leaders of the church and government to put in motion every constructive agency to keep up the morale of the people and keep down those influences which under the cover of depression strike at the very roots of our social order, it is to be deplored that any community should be disgraced and order and good governmen prostituted by a mob of lynchers. This, of course, augments the unrest which is already too apparent in nearly every community. "As Superintendents, representing 40,000 law abiding members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, we deeply deplore the inhumanity of that element of people who engage in the barbarous practice of lynching and burning human beings—a practice unknown to any part of the civilized world except America. As representatives of the Christian Church which stands for law and order, we urge those who are entrusted with the administration of civil government, to search for, find, and bring to justice those persons who are responsible for this outrageous assault on society and good government. "We commend those officers of the law in the State of West Virginia who have put under arrest alleged members of the mob which put to death George Banks and Thomas Jackson, and we further commend the Governor of Maryland, the Attorney General, and the local authorities of Salisbury, Md., for what appears to be a determined effort to bring to justice such members of the lynchers' mob as can be apprehended. "We further make record of our appreciation of the attitude of the public press and especially the Baltimore Sun, the Afro-American, and Washington Tribune for their courageous attack on the crime of lynching which these papers have supported both in their news columns and by strong and righteous editorials. Robert F. Coates George E. Curry Fairfax F. King Charles S. Briggs A. Hall Whitfield. Miles Memorial C.M.E. "For we have not passed this way before," the Rev. R. F. Fullwood, pastor of Miles Memorial, C.M.E. Church, declared in a sermon at the morning worship. He said in part: "That the leaders of yesterday are gone. You are the leaders of today.

Clark PITTSBURGH, Pa.—(W.P.S.)— One of the most interesting shifts in Negro baseball is the interest which "Cum" Posey is now displaying in organizing owners of Negro baseball clubs. With money, a wide acquaintance, one provincial newspaper and a mighty good mental equipment, he is employing all his resources to position certain teams and managers much as he would checkers on a board. Crawford Menace Crawford Menace Although quite different from his stand when Rube Foster headed the Negro Baseball League, "Cum" present idea is not a newbon one. Nor is it an impulsive gestre. Before the 1931 season closed it was evident that a formidable factor had arisen in the Pittsburgh baseball world which would not diminish or even mark time. This factor was none other than the Pittsburgh Crawfords, which finished the season as spectacularly as did the Homestead Grays. With this fact evident, it became a duty to control or eliminate the Crawfords in order to clear the field for continuing the Posey dominance. Accordingly, the shrewd Homestead manager set out with a series of propositions which attracted the interest of team owners. He has held that interest, one way or another, ever since. Use Bait The complete series of propositions, however, have not been made public. Only one—the first has been employed as a bait. This proposition calls for one League with all the Eastern Clubs enrolled—leaving the West to do likewise if they found it necessary. Under this arrangement the Pittsburgh Crawfords would become an associate member and all Pittsburgh games would be played at the new Crawfords Park. Since the new park is more centrally located for Negro patrons, and the club-owners receive 10 per cent more of the gross gate receipts, this proposition was acceptable to all concerned. This step, however, would not eliminate the Crawfords or restore monarchical control of the baseball situation to "Cum" Posey. Thus the prime objective was being sacrificed, and "Cum" soon realized it. So, without much fuss or heralding, the plan of organizing was changed. But it was changed by interviewing certain owners and not by general correspondence. Wants To Be Dictator After blocking efforts to combine all Eastern teams "Cum" now sets out to control the entire group by forming an east-west league. This new idea will be discussed in Cleveland or Detroit on January 9. Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland, Hilldale, Baltimore, Grays, Lincoln Giants and one other club will constitute the selectives. Washington, Newark, New York, Norfolk and Kansas City are likely to be excluded. In spite of the fact that Cleveland and Detroit had poor gate attractions last year, they will get preference over the five teams just mentioned. They will be preferred because "Cum" can dictate to them, which fact dovetails with the prime objective. "Saviour" of Baseball We do not want to go on record as opposing the fact that "Cum" is discriminating against certain teams. We do want to be quoted loudly, however, for questioning the motives behind the discrimination. It is true that this Posey boy from Homestead is regarded as a kind of a lord or saviour to all teams which find their way to Pittsburgh for games. They have never known anything else in Pittsburgh baseball language but "Cum" Posey. At one time, we told, white teams would not play invading colored teams without "Cum's" Okeh. The shrewd little manager looked out for all his charges—just as he is doing now. To Meet January 9 After January 9, the east-west loop will be formed. The owners will accept "Cum" Posey's teams and everybody will be ready for the 1932 season. He will ask for all Sunday games and doubleheaders in cities where Sunday games are permitted. Reciprocating, he will offer Saturday games in Pittsburgh. Crawford and other slighted teams will be wide-awake. Stellar attractions which have never played in this district will be brought to Pittsburgh. The cream of Southern baseball with year-round practice will wend their way here. Thus, Crawfords will offer patrons something new and better than the controlled outfits which the League will schedule.

NOPE -THROUGH WITH BEING THROUGH WITH WIMMEN. Friday, Douglass vs. Alumni, Baltimore. The conference basketball race will start Friday, when Armstrong and Howard High meet for the first conference game of the season in Washington. Armstrong won the basketball championship last year. From the reports of the preliminary games and the "hot contestants squid practice sessions, indications are that this will be a season of many upsets as was the case of the football race. Coach Westmoreland has the following boys left over from last year's championship team: Capt. Gross, Best, Hager, Mozee, Baskerville, and Mitchell; new men showing up well are: Taylor, Logan, Goodloe, Quarles, Payne, Hayes, and Covington; the best team combinations are forwards: Logan, Hayes, Hager, Gross; centers: Quarrels, Taylor, Mozee; guards, Goodloe, Cunningham, Best, Mitchell. Howard Hi Wins Contest Howard High defeated the Southeastern High "Y" Club of Philadelphia on their home court, 25 to 24. The game was the most exciting contest witnessed on the local court. The Howard team may not attain championship ranking this year but the Wilmington boys will certainly make a good try for the honors. Coach Eimer Uffin of the HI "Y" Club and Coach Reed of Howard High, were members of athletic teams of Temple University, Philadelphia, Pa. There are three sophomores in Howard varsity lineup, and two men who were never able to do better than substitute duty with this season. Moore dropped a next half at close in for the winning points. The team froze the ball in back court for the half minute that remained after the winning goal. Henry Carrred for the visitors while Benson excelled fo to home team. Dunbar Quint Ready With a squad of twenty men who have been working faithfully for the past thr weeks, the Dunbar basketball quintet is beginning to take form for the opening conference game on January 15 with Douglass High. A schedule of 15 games has been arranged for the team which promises to be the strongest in recent years at Dunbar. A ten ati - first team of Minns, Gregory, Wedlock, Jackson and Thompson have been formed and probably will start the opening game of the campaion. Wedlock, who is 6 feet, is making great progress at center in - of the fact that he has never before played basket ball. Minns, Gregory, Thompson and Mathews are the veterans from last year who are working together in a manner that is certain to cause opposing players considerable trouble before the Poets bring their season to a close. In addition to a tentative first team Coach Perkins has a powerful reserve in Ware, Free, Johnson, Tinsley, Brooks, Boggs and Irving. There is a possibility that one or two of the reserves will win places on the first team before many games have been played as all are showing to advantage in the practice session. Very little news has come from the Douglass High School. Coach Gibson reports that forty-five boys answered the call for first practice December 9 and prospects are bright for a good well balanced team. Last year this team was leader in overtime sessions and games decided by one and two points. Nineteen boys including four veterans of last seasons varsity SPIKE AND SAM in "PERCENTAGE" have answered the call of Coach Clifford of the Cardozo High School. The team holds its practice sessions and home games in the Garnet Patterson Junior High School gymnasium. A sixteen game schedule has been arranged, with nine contests scheduled at home.

Savoy Big Five Bows To Chicago Bruins, 30-22 CHICAGO—(ANP) Airtight defense on the part of the Chicago Bruins, former member of the American Basketball league, tied the Savoy Big Elve up in a knot when the two teams met here Friday night at the Rainbow Fronton. The final score was Bruins 30, Savoy Big Five 22. The first half convinced Dick Hudson's sharp shooters that they stood little chance of working through the defense of the white boys for basket tip-ins. The half ended with the Savoys on the small end of a 10 to 4 score. In the second canto, King, Gibbs and Brown of the Savoy, opened up at long range to close the gap created by the Bruins, but the first half lead established by Bramhill and Miller of the Bruins was too much to overcome. The Savoy team failed to make a single free throw. The line-up: **Bruins (30)** B. F. P. Bramhall, F. 3 1 3 Shurnick, F. 2 1 2 Murphy, c. 2 0 1 Miller, G. 4 0 1 Barak, G. 3 0 1 Savoys (22) B. F. P.

Junior Yo Yo enthusiasts of the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A., showed their wares in a contest held in connection with the Christmas celebration. Nearly twenty boys performed intricate and difficult tricks with their toys and almost made the tops sit up and beg. The winners of the prizes were: First, James Brown; second, Samuel Poole; and third, Moir Oldham. A novelty exhibition was given by Samuel Covington with a homemade yo-yo which measured nearly six inches in diameter. BRONZED IMMORTALS IN SPORTS HALL OF FAME By ALVIN MOSES and SOL WHITE JOE WALCOTT TALKS ABOUT THE SCRAPPERS Some time ago we accepted an invitation to visit a gymnasium especially fitted as training quarters for fighters of importance in the realm of fistiana. As we went into the spacious quarters our eyes glimpsed the old familiar form of Joe Walcott, the black demon of pugilism in the days when men fought for the love of it and scrambled ears were symbols of pugilistic merit. The 'Gym' was warming with fighters and would-be fighters. Joe was there looking them over. Every palaooak, in a regalia of the profession, was working like a Trojan. There was a serious expression on the face of each and all of those half-naked athletes that extended through the Gym, and the manner of their gym, the earnestness and energy they-slayed forced to the oars or a group of bondmen, of old Sparta, making ready to go forth to mortal combat. We looked around for Mr. Walcott who was not so very far away from where we were standing. He was shaking hands with Johnny Risko, the heavyweight baker boy from Clavev, Risko was just leaving the floor of the Gym after having a four round tilt with his sawwing partner. We collared Joe, forthwith, and asked for an audience. It was granted. We got set and led off in this wise: "Joe, tell me, did you have to go through all this kina stuff in preparations for your many battles? Are all those stunts these fellows keep putting on any good to them? Why. Joe, we haven't seen a smile nor have we heard a cheerful hello, since we hit in the place. These fellows seen more like automaton than human beings. Tell me what you think of it. Joe." Says Jack Johnson Was Class of the Butch Looking sorta quizzical, without a smile, and in a tone that would brook no argument, Joe countered just like this: "They are not makin' fighters today like the old-timers. We used to keep in condition by actual fightin'. When we had to go fifteen, twenty or twenty-five and forty rounds to win or lose a 'Bout' we didn't need the Gym to get in condition for our next 'go'. What we needed was rest.' Right here, Joe stopped. We had taken everything he had thrown at us so far and craving more of the same, we went at the old war-horse again: "Say, Joe, when Sam Langford was at his best, wasn't he as good as Jack Johnson?" "No," said Joe. "Jack always had an uppercut that would have licked Sam. Jack Johnson was the greatest heavy-weight fighter that ever lived," was Mr. Walcott's parting sally. And we took the long count of fourteen. Bronze Americans in all Phases of Sport Whether you turn to the pages of baseball, football, track, cycling, swimming, tennis, billiards, or bowling, the bronzed athlete has left his impression.

Sullivan famous world's heavy weight champion was able to evade meeting men of color was described in a letter which Tom O'Rourke long an intimate of Sullivan's, wrote to Joe Villa of the New York Sun this week. In explaining the much discussed relations between Sullivan and Peter Jackson, O'Rourke said: "Capt. Cooke, editor of the Boston Police News many years ago, was the Eastern representative of the California Athletic Club, which alone held finish fights in San Francisco. Cooke made the match between George Dixon and Abe Willis of Australia for the bantam championship of the world, which Dixon won on a knockout in five rounds. "Cooke finally arranged a match between Sullivan and Jackson for the California Athletic Club. Sullivan signed the contracts in Cooke's office and they were forwarded to the president of the California club. Before the letter arrived in Frisco, two waiters in the Golden Gate Club of that city indulged in a fight, which resulted fatally for one of them. "That put a stop to the boxing game in San Francisco for more than a year and when the California club reopened, it did not go in for championship bouts and the proposed Sullivan-Jackson affair was abandoned. I saw the articles signed by Sullivan and mailed by Capt Cooke." "The late Billy Madden told me that Peter Jackson was the best heavyweight he had ever seen," writes Roy Crandall, of Flushing, L.I. "Madden declared that nobody in the world knew as well as Sullivan that Jackson would defeat him. He insisted that the Negro was the best fighter of all the races, but added that Sullivan did not draw the color line until Parson Davies began to challenge him in behalf of Jackson. "Madden told men that Sullivan and George Godfrey, Old Chocolate, were stripped and in the ring waiting for the bell in a private Boston club when the police broke in. He said that Sullivan's backers were the ones who tipped off the authorities." Former Tiger Players See Tuskegee Beat Lincoln TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.—A. R. Stewart, left-halfback, '04; William A. Berry, quarterback and captain, '05; Thomas M. Campbell, center, '06; Matthew Woods, fullback, '08; Albert D. Foster, quarterback and captain, '12; Preston H. Roney, left-halfback, '06, a.d William E. Street, tackle, '24 were the former Tuskegee football players seen in the stands at the Tuskegee-Lincoln football game Christmas Day. In commenting on the victory at an informal gathering in Coach Abbott's office after the game there was unanimity of opinion expressed that the 1931 team will rank as one of the great Tuskegee elevens. Mr. Campbell, now field agent, United States Extension Service, for Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas, ventured the opinion that in no game this season was the real power of Coach Abbott's 1931 grid machine shown. In this statement the other old Tiger stars present concurred. Taylor, Bullock, Leslie Pollard, Matthews, Charlie Drew, West, Ted Green, Dac Marshall, Terry, Forbes, Wheaton, Peyton, Bell, ad infinitum. Truly the sons of "Ham" present a most formidable array in sports's Hall of Fame.

Are Friends They say that Jones came to Chicago about two years ago and stopped at Larry's home. Philadelphia Billy is one to never forget the hospitality of a friend. That explains Johnson's groggy, but upright, position in the ring at the end of the tenth round. For it seemed, after the sixth round that Billy might have sent Larry dreaming at any time he chose. For fully a minute of the first round the gladiators danced around the ring, feeling each other out. Billy suddenly terminated this study in fistic psychology by reaching out quickly with his left and popping Larry on the nose. To those who know Johnson best, that was an incredible bit of boldness on the part of Jones. Johnson has been known to become so infuriated by such an annoyance that he has torpedoed the TNT in his right arm to his opponent's body, back, top of his head, or anywhere, and spread him out. With the greatest alacrity he responded to Jones' challenge. Over came the Johnson right and up went the cushion Jones shoulder in front of the velvety Jones jaw. And more—to have Johnson coming in was just what the Quaker City boy wanted. Master Infighter At infighting he showed the fans, that he probably has no superior in the country. Pinioning one of Johnson's arms to one side, Jones took his free fist and worked it alternately to Larry's stomach, chest and jaw. Johnson was bewildered. He could not block the blows, so he tried to catch hold of Jones' glove and force a clinch. Jones' punches were solid, hard blows. Jones took the first and second rounds, but Larry won a draw in the third round, when his pile-driving right caught Jones on the top of the head instead of the shoulder. Jones wobbled like a man struck with a baseball bat. The crowd, with most of the money on Johnson roared. But Jones boxed Johnson off him while his head was clearing up and then set out to cut down the tall oak. Bush Given Raw Deal A victory for the colored race was achieved in the defeat of Willie Bush by Charlie Bellanger, white Canadian champion. Bush, an unknown from Waterbury, Conn, opened up the night's program in an eight-rounder against the Canadian. The initial canto was scarcely half over over when Bush drove over a hard left which struck Bellanger on the cheek and spilled him for a nine count. In succeeding rounds, Bellanger stayed away and boxed, wearing Bush down with chops and jabs. Both men slugged away in the eighth until each was out on his feet and with one minute to go, both fell out of the ring. Bush was back and ready for work at the count of eight, but Bellanger, alided by friends in the press box row, did not enter the ring until the count of fourteen. Referee Ed Purry therefore raised Bush's hand in token of a technical knockout. The crowd set up a howl and the members of the boxing commission went into a huddle. The uphot of the conference was an announcement to the effect that the commission had a rule allowing a fighter 20 seconds to reenter the ring. Using this rule (?) as pretext, the round was finished and the decision of the referee reversed. But in the defeat of Bush, the colored fans had the pleasure of feeling that Bush had made the white folks make up a war to Roscoe Manhing, a strong pu-char of the best houts of the cairn, the decision going to the white boy by a narrow margin at the end of a sensational tenth round where Calmus was almost cut on his feet. Tuskegee Caint Out For School Basketball Terry TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE Edward Godden, Tuskegee's tallest student, is a candidate for the basketball team, and is being recruited for the position of center. Godden stands 6 feet, 9 and one-fourth inches in his stocking feet and weighs 190 pounds. The youth has not had any experience as a basketball player, but Coach Abbott has placed him under the tutelage of Ross C. Owens with instructions to develop him for future use. Owens seems pleased with the assignment and said he would try to develop Godden into an excellent hardwood player. Godden came to Tuskegee from New Orleans and is studying architecture. 1 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Issues Challenge To All Fighters Willie "Lefty" Cooper, weighing 140 pounds, states that he will meet any fighter of that weight.

At the start Bailey of the locals sank one after a swift passing attack. Following came two more field goals, bringing the Greek's score to six with the whisker bearing courtment holding a blank. Wilson, lanky center of the David five dropped one at the end of a neat exhibition of passing. Both teams let down their fresh start and the locals began to widen the margin. With the score at 16 to 7, Martin and Collins brought the fans to a frenzy as they scored two from the floor in quick one bringing the scor to 14-11. Passing by both teams consumed the rest of the half with the visitors adding only one free throw. Half ended 20 to 12 with the Athenians out in front. Neither team could score, both missing several tries until Wheatley broke the ice with a double decker. Athenians exhibited one of the fastest passing games seen this season only to end in a small comitted by Jones. The House of David scored five points quickly to bring the score to 18, cutting the Athenians' lead to four points. At this juncture the locals called time out and as the game resumed, Jones dropped one of his famed overhand shots followed by one at the hands of Bailey and another by the lanky center. The Greeks began a steady gain and increased their lead to twelve points with the score at 33 to 21. Shely and Newtich were substituted for the locals with four minutes to go. Athenians scored one more field goal and the visitors dropped two with the game ending 35 to 25. # UMMUNARY TOWNS # ANTIENLIANS Bailey.....4 1 2 0 B.R.

SAVOY PRESIDENT FOOTBALL GROUP SAVOY PRESIDENT FOOTBALL GROUP The Eastern Board of Officials, with headquarters in Washington, held its final meeting of the year on last Saturday at Harrison's Cafe with an attendance of almost 100 per cent. The report of the secretary-treasurer, Benjamin Washington, showed a balance on hand at the close of the season. Starting a few years ago with half dozen members, the association now boasts of an increase to twenty-two, including those elected at this meeting to probationary membership, who were Harry Riley of West Virginia State College, Vantile Harris of Howard University School of Physical Education, Perry L. Jacobs of Kansas State College, and Kermit Trigg of Howard University, all of whom are now residing in this city. Savoy Elected President A. Kiger Savoy, assistant superintendent of public schools, was reelected to the presidency, and Benjamin Washington was retained as secretary-treasurer, both for the third consecutive term. Wilkinson is Speaker Garnet Wilkinson, in charge of the public schools of Washington, Divisions 10-13, who is an honorary member of the association, in addressing the body referred to the fact that of the four games which he had witnessed this season, two among white teams and two among colored, he was most gratified to make a comparison of the officiating in each group, and his conclusions were that the members of his Board are as thoroughly efficient in performing their duties on the field as is the best of the white group of men who perform the same duty. Score Tail of Water He noted with regret the continued use of the pail of water and sponge in administering to the needs of the players on the field and deplored the lack of proper sanitation in this method of treatment. "Injured players," he stated, "are frequently brought to the side lines and placed upon the cold time without medical examination a warrant." Coach Edward P. Hurt of Morgan College, cited many instances on "How to Lessen Dangers in Football" among which are the following: Better medical care of the players during the entire season. rPoper and very durable football equipment for all players. Charging with proper body and foot work. Officials alert to penalize the very first and all infractions of rules and roughness. He suggested that a change in the rules for bidding a ball carrier who has fallen to the ground, from rising and running. This, he thought, would eliminate all forms of piling up and the possibility of twisted limbs. Verdell Talks Coach Verdell of Howard University, demonstrated the possibility of the forward pass in attack and in the elimination of injuries to players. Active members are J. H. Burr, F. S.

We have many interesting land marks here that are reminders of the spirit of the West. Here we can show you where John Brown once lived; where Abraham Lincoln stopped over on his way to Leavenworth; here is where the historic 'Forty Niners' passed through on their way to dig for gold in California; the pony express was routed here to points farther west; and here one finds the finest airport and the finest stockyards anywhere in the United States." Bishop Gregg said he was particularly happy to welcome the Kappas here because it was he as president of Wilberforce University who signed the diploma granting the degree of A. B. to A. Moore Shearin, grand polemarech, who sat on the rostrum with the bishop. Judge Holland Gives Keeps of City Judge Holland gives Rays or City Judge Thomas V. Holland delivered the address of welcome on behalf of the city. He was introduced by Dr. D. M. Miller. "There is no aristocracy of intellect," said Judge Holland in his opening remarks.

In prefacing these remarks the young judge said that he welcomed the twenty-first grand chapter meeting of KappaAlpha Psi with humility and pride. "Humility," he said, "because there are more men better qualified to extend the greetings of this community; pride, because I have received so many good things from the hands of your group." He gave the traditional and mythical keys of the city to the visiting fraters and wished that their sessions here would be happy, profitable, and successful. R. L. Bailey, assistant attorney general, state of Indiana, was to have made the principal address, but failed to arrive for the meeting. A.

(ANP) Efforts will be resumed here Tuesday, to save John Moore, convicted of first degree burglary, from the electric chair, when the pleas of the attorneys for the doomed man will be laid before Tyler C. Taylor, executive counsel for Governor Gardner. Moore was found guilty of entering the room of a white girl while she was sleeping and stealing a pair of shoes. The law in North Carolina is that when anyone is convicted of entering a place where a person is sleeping the conviction carries with it the death sentence. Moore was found guilty and the death sentence was imposed. The case has attracted widespread attention and many citizens have joined hands with the defense attorneys to save the prisoner from the electric chair. The defendant's attorneys have expressed the opinion that Governor Gardner will grant a commutation of sentence, especially since Judge John H. Harwood had indicated a desire to save him from the electric chair, although as trial judge he was forced to impose that sentence after the jury's first degree verdict.

BURROUGHS SAYS LEWIS AND RUTHERFORD ARE WASHINGTON HEROES Negro Washington Should Immortalize These Two Heroes For The Good They Have Done For The City And The Race. Both Great Builders TWO Samuel W. Rutherford and John Whitlaw Lewis established the going of the Washington Negro in business. Samuel Rutherford began life as a field hand in the backwoods of Georgia. John Lewis came to Washington with Coxey's Army. He was a hod-carrier. Both of them came from the university of self-heal and hard work. Several years ago God removed John W. Lewis from earth to heaven and last year man removed Samuel W. Rutherford from the National Penefit Life Insurance Company to the bricks. John Lewis has his reward according to the justice of God and Samuel W. Rutherford has his reward according to the will of men. Each of these men made an unusual, valuable and enduring contribution to the life of the Negro in Washington and in the nation. The work of each will stand as long as the Washington monument stands. What manner of men were these? They were God-endowed, God-inspired and God-led. They were men with innate business acumen, real vision, faith and initiative. They were unselfishly devoted to the causes to which they gave the best that there was in them. Their best was, as good as any of the best that has ever been done for Negroes, by Negroes who took it upon themselves to start something worth starting for the good of the whole race. Rutherford and. Lewis were trail blazers. They were born leaders. They pid on through gray days—the days of the loneliness of leadership. All men who are born leaders pass through those lonely days. The Son of Man, the Saviour of the World, passed through them and Mahatma Ghandi, the saviour of India is a lonely, tragic figure.

In those lonely days when they were dreaming dreams and having visions, Lewis and Rutherford wore sleek trousers and greasy hats. Nobody knew where they lived and nobody cared. Men looked at them askance, skeptically and condescendingly. They stop, the cynic's sneers. Nobody in the whole world thought that Samuel W. Rutherford had a six-million dollar insurance company in his orange sha- d head and that John W. Lewis carried three large buildings—a bank, a combination hotel and apartment house, an office building—and a whole subdivision in his pear-shaped cranium, but they had them there and they carried them until they got ready to take them out and set them down on the earth for other en to live in, plan in, work in and work up. These two divinely endowed men gave the little business which the Negroes of Washington have today, a foundation on which to stand, a faith with which to work and a place of respect from which to look. Yes, they did, and though John Lewis' body lies mouldering in the grave his spirit is marching on, and the buildings which he erected are monument, to his genius, honesty and unselfishness. The architecture is not perfect, but the spirit back of this achievement is heroically perfect. Why? Because a Negro bank in this city had failed many years before John W. Lewis bean to slouch up and down U street. Washington was full of so-called race leaders at that time, but it seems that not one of them could muster courage and faith enough to retrieve the lost venture. What the leaders seemed to lack John W. Lewis had—courage and faith enough to do what all races do that reach the top—try again—fail and try all over again, and do it with the kind of brazen doggedness that challenges its discouraged, faint-hearted, and doubting followers. That is what John W. Lewis did for the Negro in the banking business of Washington. Not only did he build a bank but his heroic action and success inspired the opening of still another bank. He made two banks grow where one had failed. Furthermore, the one structure which he set at Thirteenth and T streets and the two at Eleventh and U streets, and the plans which he set in motion at Capitol View will increase in value and service as the years go by. John Lewis left a business foundation on which many of us are standing. His name is seldom ever called. 'Isn't it strange how perfectly our forgetteries work? We foget! We forget! Some of us seem to like to forget the pit from which we were digged. It might do our souls some good to make Kipling's prayer our national anthem— "Lord, God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget lest we forget." But what about Samuel W. Rutherford? He built the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. This marvelous achievement made it possible for his company to give employment to an army of young men and women. n. They learned the insurance business from the ground up. He employed such a high class type of men and women that he won national confidence and respect for his company. He put millions of dollars into the hands of employees with which they bought homes and made their families happy. This marvelous organization covered the United States as the waters cover the deep. Samuel Rutherford engaged in the noble experiment of trying to get all of his employees sufficiently interested in charity and community, welfare work to give something, however small, to worthwhile causes. He himself was active interested in public service. Organizations called on him and counted on him to work. He never failed them. But for the presence of the National Benefit, hundreds of girls who desired business careers would have been forced into domestic service. Do not forget that. There is no middle ground for the Negro girl between teaching school and working in an office. The factory and the store are the middle ground for the white girl. Leaving out the teaching profession and the Government service in Washington there is only one opportunity for trained young women—clerkships in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company or cookships in homes. From the world's greatest tragedies sensible people learn their greatest lessons and the world reaps its greatest benefits. Today Samuel W. Rutherford is the most tragic figure in Negro business life. We have not been told that its affairs are being investigated. All fair minded Negroes believe that Samuel Rutherford's whole ambition was to make the National Benefit Life Insurance Company the largest and strongest Negro company in the world. Such an ambition on the part of a Negro is unusual and it is quite natural for something to happen that would apparently justify an investigation. You can feel certain that the company has something left to investigate because it is taking such a long time to inventory and add its assets—frozen and liquid.

INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK 11th and U Streets, Northwest PRUDENTIAL BANK 717 Florida Avenue, Northwest gro concerns that are wrecked are wrecked by leaders who do not bring anything to them when they come and do not leave anything worth having when they go. This is not true of Samuel W. Rutherford. It is taking a little time to add up what he left. We are told that he left the company in such fine shape that the stockholders can save it in spite of its frozen assets, that the policy holders can mutualize it or the present management can turn it over to other companies. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company has been built on one Negro's vision, initiative, courage, supplemented gloriously by the sacrifices, counsel, judgment, advice cooperation and hard work of stockholders, policy holders, agents and clerks. Doubtless, mistakes have been made in investment, but in spite of the world, the flesh and the devil we believe in the integrity of the man who built the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The investigation might show error in judgment, unsoundness in method, but we will wait until the last piece of paper is listed and the last column is added before we believe that Samuel W. Rutherford planned or purposed in his heart, aided or abetted in doing anything with the National Benefit Life Insurance Company other than to try to make it a Gibraltar among the insurance companies of the world. Yes, hold him to strict account for his stewardship but do not forget the value of what his heroic service means to those thousands who are toiling upward. We said a while ago that great calamities teach great lessons and the world profits in a large way by the mistakes of men who have tried and failed. We deplore the fact that our great company is facing a crisis, but what about the value of the lessons growing out of Rutherford's life and achievement and out of the opportunities which the great company offered to thousands of aspiring young men and women? The lessons and benefit are these: 1. In America a man can come from nowhere and go to the top if he has initiative, industry, faith, courage indomitable will—fails. 2. He can build something big enough to be worth inheriting or taking over. He can train an army of workers and if they are released from his service other companies working in the same field will be able to secure highly trained employees and weed out of their companies those who are mere make-shifts. 3. Other companies will check up on their frozen assets. They will examine their methods and question more closely the judgement of their counsellors and advisors to see whether they are wise, otherwise, selfish, unselfish or safe. 4. Other companies will not take over too many defunct companies. There are lessons galore and wise men will learn them. After all; what seems to be a tremendous loss can be turned into a two million dollar gain. Nobody is putting him down as a courageous character whose judgement is infalible, who, unlike Sampson, did pull the Temple down. The historian will write him down as a colossal figure in American business in this century. The men and women who build race enterprises out of nothing but cold nerve are our only monuments, and we must define and defend the ideals out of which they build. as population." Dr. Harris is schedule at Yale University E under the auspices of for Industrial Democracy ject of his address will in the Labor Movement. Other economists to the series include Dr Gray, former preside American Economic and Colston E. Warne John W. Lewis and Samuel W. Rutherford were just as perfect in their motives in giving themselves to the cause of financial freedom for their race as was George Washington in his plan for political freedom for white America. White Americans put Washington on a pedestal and Negro Americans should not put John W. Lewis and Samuel W. Rutherford on the dump. "Lord, God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget lest we forget." RURAL ECONOMICS TO BE STUDIED BY DR. E. LEWIS Investigations Made Possible By Grant of $1,800 By Population Union Rural economics as affecting Negro migration is a field of special study to be conducted by Dr. Edward E. Lewis, assistant professor of economics at Howard University, according to announcement made by Dr. E. P. Davis, dean of the college of liberal arts. The investigation has been made possible by the grant of an eighteen hundred dollar fellowship from the International Population Union, with Dr. Louis I. Dublin, vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, as the American chairman, and is to be conducted during the calendar year of 1932. The study will be concerned primarily with economic conditions in the rural community responsible for pushing the Negro toward urban centers and with changes in rural economic organizations which have followed these cityward migrations. Prof. Lewis is author of a recent book on The Mobility of the Negro Population, published by Columbia University press. "Unlike the usual study on Negro migration," says Dr. Abram L. Harris, head of the department of economics at Howard University, "the work of Prof. Lewis involves independent elaboration of statistical formulae that can be used to measure economic changes in the realm of prices and money, as well as population." Dr. Haris is scheduled to speak at Yale University February 4, under the auspices of the League for Industrial Democracy. The subject of his address will be "Trends in the Labor Movement." Other economists to appear in the series include Dr. John H. Gray, former president of the American Economic Association, and Colston E. Warne, professor of economics at Amherst College. Dr. Harris is co-author of the recent book The Black Worker, concerning which the Columbia University press has compiled fifty international reviews. Board Member (Continued from page 1) The Rev. Bennett said, "Today, McKinley will not play because a colored boy is on the team. What guarantee has the public that tomorrow she (McKinley) will not refuse because a Jew or one with a different religious view is playing?" In scoring the principal, the Rev. Bennett said the attitude of the principal of McKinley disqualifies him to train citizens for twentieth century needs. The local school refused to go through with a contract to play Bethlehem, Pa., School on Thanksgiving Day after if was learned that Jack White, a colored boy, was on the squad. Principal Frank Daniel and Coach Elmer Hardell refused to go through with the game. The Bethlehem principal and coach demanded an answer within 24 hours from McKinley. The local school ignored the ultimatum, so the game was cancelled. The Bethlehem officials said Jack White would play or there would be no game. In his letter to the board the Rev. Bennett, stated, "In athletics, as in other subjects, the boy in the high school is probably preparing for further school life. With the lesson taught by the principal of McKinley he will find himself in strange company should he go to Cornell, Columbia, Amherst, or Dartmouth. If he is called upon to defend his flag he will find himself again in strange company, for the colored man has never been a slacker." The entire text of the Rev. Bennett's letter will be found on page one of this week's Tribune. Brutal Police (Continued from page 1 lice were said to have intimidated witnesses and they were afraid to appear for fear of further torture at the hands of the police. During the sensational investigation of third degree methods, eighteen policemen were indicted by the grand jury. Most of the brutality charges were preferred by colored persons who had been beaten by officers. The Tribune supplied the Department of Justice with data and affidavits from several men and women who had been beaten by police. The trial of Officer Eugene D. Lambert of the Ninth Precinct who was indicted on a charge of assaulting Frederick Smith, a young Community Center worker at the Lovejoy School on the night of May 27, has been postponed due to the fact that an important government witness has been ill and unable to appear in court. Lambert brutally beat young Smith in front of the school when the youth sought to find the cause of a comotion in the street between a group of colored and white boys. Smith was beaten with a black-jack at the school and later beaten at the precinct. Smith thru his attorney, Augustus Gray, has filed a $30,000 civil suit against the policeman. All of the officers were allowed to remain at liberty on bond of $1,000 pending the outcome of appeals. Justice Proctor scored the convicted cons for their methods of using their fists instead of brains to solve crime. Society Leaders (Continued from page 14) clubs went into a huddle following the edict by Mr. Rover. Later the District Attorney flatly denied he uttered such a statement and THE NEGRO NOVEL OF THE WORLD WAR BY VICTOR DALY ROMANCE REALISM LOVE them as counsel. After the position of the LL.D. attorneys in relation to the defense had been disclosed to Attorneys Darrow and Hays, Gen. Chamlee is reported to have told the N.A.A.C. P. attorneys that he was still willing to do business with them, to permit them to help in the defense, but as individual lawyers, not as representatives of the National Association. Darrow and Hays claim that they were willing to work as individuals, but were opposed to repudiating the N.A.A.C.P., which had brought them into the case, and transferring their allegiance to the Communist organization. The American Civil Liberties Union reports: "Both Mr. Darrow and Mr. Hays refused to repudiate the N.A.A.C.P.*******, and withdrew because they did not wish to become involved in the controversy between the two organizations as to which should handle the appeal. They suggested to the lawyers already in the case that all of them issue a statement saying that they represented no organization but only the defendants,****." "Apparently this suggestion was favored by George W. Chamlee, ..., but that organization so far has refused to sanction Mr. Darrow's and Mr. Hay's participation in the appeal on that basis." Thus it would seem that Darrow and Hays were willing to say that they were not representing the N.A.A.C.P. if Chamlee and the others would state that they were not representing the I.L.D. But the powers of the I.L.D. insisted not only that Chamlee and his associates stick to the banner of the Communists, but that Darrow and Hays, after throwing the N.A.A.C.P. overboard, should pin on the communist badge also. This Darrow and Hays refused to do. Shortly after it became known that both Darrow and Hays had given their efforts in behalf of the boys for the time being, Mr. Dar- COAL - FUEL OIL SAMUEL A.

However a delegation called on the district attorney. Attorney George Hayes took Mr. Rover to task and told him that he made the statement. Mr. Rover said "he was misquoted and misunderstood." Fear Rover However, night club owners know it is far from expedition to antagonize the district attorney as he has it in his power to make it unpleasant for them if they fail to obey his order although he knows that there is no law to prohibit whites and Negroes from mixing in public places if they have a desire to. Some point out that the district attorney can padlock any place if liquor is found on patrons. It will be an easy matter for a stool pigeon to be found in the club with liquor. Whites Only Served Owners of the new Crystal Caverns say they admitted whites only on the opening night because they were the first to make reservations. There were ninety-six served. Colored persons were told that all reservations were taken. On the other hand Judge Cobb said in his talk with the manager he was told that it were the policy of the club to serve whites only. The breakfast dance was an invitational affair given by several young men about town. The list included the elite of Washington. Many took the stand that they did not care to even attend a private affair at the club if the policy of the management was to jimcrow at regular hours. May Protest to Hoover The N.A.A.C.P. is planning to protest to President Hoover about the alleged edict by Mr. Rover, however, the branch secretary said there was nothing to protest about if the district attorney has denied the statement. It seems that club owners prefer to serve whites only because they spend more money. Club Prudhom put the bars up to colored one night and that was the evening following the district attorney's order. Since then the club has catered to a mixed crowd with a first come, first serve policy. Rumors that the Club Prudhom was padlocked proved false as it was in full swing all week with a black and tan patronage. When club owners learned that Mr. Rover had denied the statement of mixing at night clubs the managers of the two clubs have started an open door policy and marking time until the district attorney makes another move. Whites enjoy dancing at Negro clubs. Most are of the young sporting element seeking a thrill. They think it is quite the thing to mix with Negroes at risque parties and clubs. N.A.A.C.P.

NOTHING GIVES SO MUCH FOR SO LITTLE politan 9900 row was severely criticized in a public statement issued by Charles Yale Harrison, author of a recent biography of Mr. Darrow. "It is unthinkable that a man of Mr. Darrow's stature" asserts Mr. Harrison, "should have stepped out of the defense, not because he doubted the innocence of the condemned youths, but because political pressure was brought to bear on him." In his letter, Mr. Harrison continues: "My astonishment is heightened by the fact that your refusal to defend the boys is based not on the fact that you have suddenly discovered them guilt, but because of a question of group precedence. In a lesser lawyer this might be comprehensible but in you it is unforgiveable. "All your life you have shown a readiness to acknowledge yourself in the wrong when circumstances warranted. I hope you will do so again and go back to Birmingham and help defend the lads. This would be proper and right. It would be consistent and in keeping with your career."***** "I know you are 75 years old and I know you are 7weary with the 50 years you have spent in the law courts of America, but your duty is in Birmingham, Alabama—to refuse to defend the Scottsboro eight will be the negation of your career of radicalism and humanitarianism." An N.A.A.C.P. statement issued after Hays and Darrow had withdrawn from participation in the case, signed by Mr. White, contained no suggestion that that organization might seek anew to cooperate in the defense of the boys. The tenor of the statement was to accept as final and decisive the selection of the LLD. attorneys as their counsel by the condemned boys. Mr. White accused the boys of vacillating, but expressed the hope that "the lives of these innocent boys may be saved." MARY BROWN BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL "SLIM JIM" HELD ON $10,000 BOND McKinley Blackwell, 23, alias "Slim Jm," alias "Toledo Jim," was held under $10,000 bond by Judge Ralph Givens in police Court Monday, in connection with a trio of recent robberies and hold-ups. Blackwell, who lives at 225 Fourand-a-Half street, southwest, was arrested at Third street and Maine avenue, last Wednesday, by Policean F. J. Rowen, of the Traffic Bureau, shortly after he is alleged to have used a revolver in robbing a grocery store operator and police informer. The informer, Judy Johnson, white, attached to headquarters vice squad, told the court that Blackwell poked a gun in his ribs, forced him into an alley and took $6 in cash from him. A few minutes later Blackwell is said to have robbed the store of Peter Manos, 713 First street, northwest, of $3.50 in cash. He was also accused of robbing Joe Rivera, white taxi driver, 225 Morgan street, of $30 and a watch. Man Struck By Box Hanging Over Truck While standing on the corner of 7th street and New York avenue, northwest, Kemp Johnson, 27, of 1508 Fifth street, northwest, was painfully injured when struck by a box protruding from the side of a passing truck.

NEGRO BUSINESS ORGANIZATIONS LISTED One hundred and twenty-four Negro industrial, commercial and research organizations are listed alphabetically in the general lists of the new issue of "Industrial and Commercial Organizations of the United States," revised edition for 1931. This represents an increase from fifty-four listed in the 1928 issue; and only two in the issue of 1926. The improved representation is a creditable reflection upon the efforts of James A. Jackson, business specialist to garner such information concerning Negro business organizations as would assist in placing our commercial interests in a taken-for-granted place with the business folk of the country. The book contains 386 pages, and lists 2,634 interstate, national and international organization, 3,050 state and territorial bodies, and 13,625 local organizations, making over 19,000 in all. Scattered through these different divisions are twenty-eight Negro organizations, two interstate bodies, sixteen groups and seventy-eight local industrial and commercial organizations of the race. In this connection, Mr. Jackson announces that the Small Business section has more than 250 Negro bodies indexed in its files, but that some of these are not listed in the publication because they were learned of by this office after Mr. John Ambler Smith, who compiled the publication, had sent his manuscript to press. Still others were not included because they neglected to answer the questionnaire sent out by the compiler's office for the purpose of verifying information. The book is made up in buckram and is 9 1/4 by 6 inches in size. It may be obtained from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government printing office, from the Department of Commerce, or from any of the more than fifty District offices of the Department located in the principal cities of the country. The price is 85 cents, just sufficient to cover the cost of printing. Christmas Activities In Monroe School The Social Service Club of the James Monroe School, which is sponsored by Miss A. W.

A FEW SUGGESTIONS Dish-clutchs do not get the attention they should, and in many houses are dirty and quite unfit for use. After washing up, always soap the dish-cloth well, and then rinse in hot water with soda in it. Rinse again in hot water, and hang it in the air to dry. To separate the yolk of an egg from the white make a hole in both ends of the egg. Then hold it upright, giving it a gentle shake, and the white will run out, leaving the yolk unbroken in the shell. Use milk instead of water for making pie crust which is to be served cold. It will keep crisp longer. A dirty oyen is often the cause of a disagreeable odor in the house. The odor may be hard to tace, but WILKINS COFFEE WILKINS COFFEE just wonderful!

He has become a dead number. For twenty years Maryland has not had a lynching. By Governor Ritchie's jelly fish tactics there has been a lynching and burning of one human being and the attempted lynching of three others. If a man cannot muster courage to govern a small State, how can he hope for the people of 47 other States to have confidence in him sufficient to believe that they would select him to govern the United States? President Hoover has been poor enough as president. Ritchie would be worse. Having run with the hounds and holding with the hare in the Lee case, Governor Ritchie could not muster the courage to face the situation in the Salisbury case, remaining away on a speaking engagement when his State needed the guiding of a man capable of being President. Governor Ritchie's goose is cooked, and Governor Roosevelt and Newton Baker have clear sailing now. REDS FORCE THE HAND OF N.A.A.C.P. The International Labor Defense, commonly called the Communist, or "The Reds," forced the hand of the N.A.A.C.P. in the Scottsboro case, and now the National Association is wolfing its head off. The I.L.D. has assumed full control of the defense of the eight Negro boys in Kilby prison in Alabama under sentence of death for a trumped up rape charge by two white girl prostitutes who were hoboing their way on the same freight train as the boys. Both of these organizations have collected thousands of dollars for a defense fund for these unfortunate boys. What will the N.A.A.C.P. do with the money they collected to defend these boys, since they have surrendered the boys to their fate, so far as the N.A.A.C.P. is concerned? The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has misled the public in this case. About three weeks ago the office in New York sent out a release stating that their attorneys were the only ones of record in the Scottsboro case, and that the I.L.D. lawyers were turned down and would not represent the boys before the Supreme Court in January. If this were true, then why did they tuck their tail between their legs and slink away? Why did the N. A.A.C.P. surrender the four boys it was to defend? If their attorneys were the only ones who could appear before the Supreme Court, why withdraw? This is apparently a case of deliberate misrepresentation and cowardice on the part of the N.A.A.C.P. However, the I.L.D. has the case, and if they win, they certainly will deserve the glory and it will be a big asset to their cause. If they lose, they have no one to blame save themselves. Darrow's withdrawing surprised us. We credited him with having more courage and less prejudice than he has demonstrated here. The Chattanooga News, a leading white newspaper, has the following to say in an editorial in this case: "We never expected to see Clarence Darrow shrug his shoulders in disdain. But now we read that he has withdrawn from all plans for defending the Negroes in the Scottsboro case because the International Labor Defense, a supposedly Communistic organization, is also defending the prisoners. We never expected Clarence Darrow to become proud. "The impression grows that the Scottsboro trial was a hasty affair, that psychology decreed the verdict in advance. Then, if the Negroes should have a new trial, we see no reason why eminent lawyers should draw their skirts tightly and pass by on the other side. It is surprising, at this late date, to learn that Clarence Darrow's armor of Liberalism has a puncture." Critical of both Communist organization and the National Association, the Philadelphia Record commented editorially as follows on the whole controversy: "To the eight young Negroes convicted at Scottsboro, Alabama, of attacking two white girls it seems that having too many friends is as bad as having none. Especially when their friends can't co-operate with each other. "International Labor Defense said it would not permit Darrow and Hays to appear as attorneys for the N.A.A.C.P., but would accept their independent services. "Darrow, declaring he would take no part in the case so long as a Communist organization had a hand in it, said: 'We entered the case on humanitarian principles, and not to further any political cause.' "Thus does prejudice pile on prejudice until a mountain grows. The Communists are prejudiced against the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Darrow is prejudiced against the Communists. The South is prejudiced against the Negro, the Communists and Darrow. "What chance is there for justice in such an environment?" With another army of 12,000 unemployed men milling around Washington, following the 1,500 "Hunger Marchers" one often hears of Coxie's Army during the Cleveland Administration. Colored Washington will be fortunate indeed if it can claim a man from either of the armies of the Hoover Administration, who will do for the business and economic life of the Negroes here as did the late John W. Lewis. Mr. Lewis, a hod carrier, came to Washington with Coxie. He walked the streets for sometime. But his brain was working and he was not here long before he started an association with the view of saving and acquiring real estate. The Industrial Savings Bank, the apartment house north of the bank on 11th street, the Whitelaw Hotel, named for him (his middle name was Whitelaw), the office building on the northeast corner of Eleventh and U streets, northwest, and the very desirable addition, "Capital View," were all products of the brain of this hod carrier who came to Washington with Coxie's Army. There is not another colored man in Washington who can "point with pride" to such a constructive program of accomplishment. Since Mr. Lewis's death there is no one in the perspective to step into his shoes. A hod carrier has done more for Washington than any of the college grads.

B. Koger By Algenon B. Jackson, M.D. THE BATTLE OF THE PH.D. For several weeks past the Negro Press of the country has been recking with news describing a very unnecessary quarrel between two eminently distinguished Ph.D.'s. It may be all right for us poor ignora folks to fall out and call each other names, but we cannot help but wish the learned, erudite folks would settle their differences in a more dignified manner. After all it begins to seem that the are but slightly different from us ordinary folks who act in an ordinary way. Both of the distinguished gentlemen are friends of mine. I admire them both but I do not get any particular joy in seeing them resorting to commonplace methods to settle a misunderstanding which after all is not a misunderstanding. Each buckles on his arm and steps out to battle. Blow follows blow, armor clashes, rage increases, confusion reigns as clouds of dust rise to hide the contestants. Finally the fray ceases, the clouds are lifted, and, alas! there upon the field of honor lie both opponents, battered and breathless; still the world is neither better nor wiser. Such is the end of suc quarrels between the mighty. The clan of Ph. D's are trained (at least theoretically) to develop at best a single track mind, and personally I would like to see the one stick to the church and the other stick to Negro History. But, I say, if they want to give the world the advantage of their fine mentalities, permit me to suggest that both are welcome to join me in the program for better health among Negroes. This is a field which offers them great opportunities for service and not very far removed from the problems of research to which they have dedicated their lives. The health program needs their assistance and I most heartily welcome them into a field which has all too few workers. There is not much chance for disagreement as to our need for better health and longer lives. R.S.V.P. OUR MAIL CAN NEGROES RUN BUSINESS? Dear Editor: Lately I have been bothered with a question that seems to be of vital importance to me. It still is a question, for I have found no answer to it myself. The questih is: "Do Negroes have to cater to the white man to stay in business?" Some people, after reading this letter, may say that I will another Negro who will retard the progress of the race by being prejudiced. In that case, yes. It seems to be pretty had when Negroes accomplish anything by way of amusement for themselves that we can't enjoy it for intruders, namely, the white Chinese or any other nationality. Here is just what I mean. The Club Prudhom is usually so jammed with members of the white race that we can't get seats. Why? Some will say that is perfectly all right, they are all welcome. Well, why not try to dine at Swance Ballroom, Lotus, or Astor? There is no doubt about the class of whites that go there. It make, my blood boil to see them mingli, with members of my race and to watch the Negroes in turn grin in their faces as if they are highly honored to have "such distinguished guests." I am sure I will be criticized for putting my sentiments into print, but there is absolutely no help for it. I feel just that way about it. I am reminded of an article which appeared in a white daily paper some time ago. It dwellened upon the affair given at the White House when Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest among other congressional members were received by President and Mrs. Hoover. In box car type, "Niggers in the White House" attracted enough interest to cause one to go on reading the nasty things related. Unfortunately, my race as a whole is branded with a sense of inferiority that seems to have been inherited from our foreparents who were slaves. Things have changed, we are now free and why don't we realize it more? Is it so that we will have to stand back and give the right of way to others always? Is it so that we will deprive ourselves of pleasures created for us alone? Why so? When. Mr. and Mrs. Hoover mingle as these others with Negroes then and not until then will I change my ideas about this matter. I merely mention them because they are the leaders of society in this city. I really feel that the social life for Negroes is still to be seen as long as they are so pleased with this sort of thing. Negroes have no society. There is not one exclusive club for Negroes in Washington, the nation's capital. Only one playhouse, and it is only opened at intervals. Recently a show played in this city starring Negro players. You will no doubt recall "Rhapody in Black." How many Negroes saw it? Again, how THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 8, 1931 DIGESTING THE NEWS DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL The editor of Timely Digest magazine in his December issue jumps on the Negro Press with both feet. He is also an editor of a local colored paper and therefore his statements cannot inside with a statement that he does not know what he is writing about. In his diatribe he mentions specifically one of our press associations and while this digest is not concerned in the airing of his complaints we do wish to offer one quotation: "‘‘ One would expect the Afro-American press that constantly preaches cooperation to lead in organization. . .’" This writer, for years, has studiously studied the Negro Press and has formed some very definite opinions concerning the usefulness of our publications. Barring a few of our metropolitan journals the average colored publication is materially handicapped due to a lack of finances and trained workers. Under such conditions there undoubtedly exist a national lack of co-operation for the reason that the editor-publisher is too busily occupied in keeping his local organization together from week to week. There is a great opportunity for an organization of trained workers who could give their full-time, and receive an adequate compensation for so doing, to improve the status of our many local colored weeklies throughout the country.

It's more blessed to give than to receive. That isn't very hard to believe. So give the man that needs a break, And don't be cheap for goodness sake. So many people would not grieve If they could get the things they need. If things were only like years ago, People would be happier—that I know. During the war when things were plenty People hungry we had not any. But if things don't change pretty soon. Another war to this world is doomed. —Raymond Campello. many Negroes wanted to see it but were barred because it played at a white theatre? Are the whites barred from our places of amusements No. The white man is as domineering over the Negro as he possibly can be only because he is allowed to be. Why? He goes where he wants to. At any place proprietoried by Negroes his very presence seems to demand better service than one of our race. I say this because he gets it. Is there nothing that the Negro can demand? Why act like an invertebrate? I think this will retard the progress of the race more than my prejudice. There is indeed a possibility of my being wrong about this. If so, I will greatly appreciate an explanation. I am “one of the race who seeks enlightenment.” I don’t understand, so I am still in the dar. About a year ago A retributive dearth drew nigh, Much in grimmness to that In a dead man's eye. This season of lean ears Was preceded by those of plenty When the poor man feasted sumptuously, And the rich were many. During those days of ecstacy The rain fell in torrents; Perennial springs lifted their heads As tokens of warrant. The drought interpreters are few Who claim to know the cause That dame nature used To evade her hoary laws. The present drought is didactic, Teaching young and old; It's the lash of a whip, Not that of a scroll. Things have changed in the last few years Causing many to shed bitter tears Work is something of the past. How long do you think this depression will last? If only the poor man could get a break. Things would be better in the United States. But those who have money hold to it tight. And won't let a dime come to the light. We have associations of all kinds But they don't seem to pay much mind. They get the money in their hands. Believe it or not they don't give a damn. It's all a racket, can't you see. Take that little hint from me. You walk the town both east and west Until you have no shoe sole left. But I'll go right and I'll keep straight. And do my best until depression breaks. I'll look ahead for the best And also try to help the rest. So if you are on your last go round. Don't get discouraged and say I'm down. Get on your knees and pray to --- --- NEGRO NEWSPAPERS THE DROUGHT By M. King But the presence of blight An enemy of fat ears, Finds the poor ragged And the hungry in tears. DEPRESSION lost a lot of prestige and respect due to the many untrained worker that enter its ranks. And if the colored publishers do not soon snap out of thir lethargy and do something substantial and definite to so improve their organs so as to be self-sustaining and providing opportunities, on a compensated basis, for our young trained journalists, who are to follow, the fourth estate also will be losing in prestige and respect. An active organization of experienced and trained workers can so improve and help the Negro Press that the increased advantages will automatically provide a handsome recompense for all concerned and not merely be a national assessment organization. For one thing an organization of trained workers, especially in the advertising branch of the business, would soon convince many of our publishers that the quickest way to kill respect for their sheet is by filling it up with fake advertisements, as several of them are now doing. How can any thinker accept a publisher as sincere when his front and editorial pages are blazoned with racial appeals and his advertising columns filled with grotesque and alluring fakes and near-fakes? Then, too, such an organization would sell the idea of a progressive and needed "trade" publication, instead of a racial "racket" sheet. O, yes, there are plenty of ways for our press to assume a practical leadership and this year is the time to put it across. MY TRAGEDY You were a Negro boy and I Whose skin is fair, Loved you and wanted you, But did not dare To break the barrier between, To scorn the predjudice and hate, Bhind the skin to find—unseen The good in you—before too late. Now you are gone, and I Whose skin is fair, Must long for you But never dare To show the suffering behind This smile I wear that is untrue. You know that death could be more kind more kind Than living (living?) without you PLAIN TALK By A. B. KOGER DePriest Critics It is really sad to hear of Ben Davis and others knocking our only colored representative in Congress, as seems to be the sport of the day. It seems to me it would be better if all of us would come to his aid and help him in the tremendous task that he is pulling for us. It is downright foolish to lament that DePriest is not DuBois, and the like. I know many who would rather see others in the National Committee than the colored members thereof, and I know of lots who would like to be those others in question. It is true that DePriest is not the most highly educated man in our race. I am willing to grant that there are some who might bring better results and a finer showing, but DePriest has courage and is reasonably sincere; he has been fairly consistent and is willing to listen and maybe learn. The writer knows of few outstanding members of his group who can qualify in either of these. The critics would do well to turn the spotlight on themselves and see if this observation doesn't fit them. These Racial Traits Oftimes we could win numbers BOOK REVIEW "THE COMFORT OF ASSURANCE" By Henry G. Layer (Christopher Publishing House—Boston, Mass.) It has been a long time since I've read a play of everyday life where the characters seemed so real that in my solution I could picture before me a stage and on it the drama unfolding a beautiful translation of the real philosophy of life. There is nothing gained in describing the characters. They could be anybody. Your own family, the neighbors, the materially successful or those fortunate few who have found happiness in peace brought about through a correct mental attitude toward life. How true the words of one character: " . . . Contentment is not wholly dependent upon outward conditions . . . " Or, in these words: " . . . To be happy we must have something definite to concentrate upon . . ." Perhaps the best thought came when I read: " . . . We enjoy only what w appreciate, and surely, fate must be kind to those with gratitude. . . " And still another question: " . . . We ourselves, must create the right conditions for happiness. Others can help us, yes, but they cannot do our share of it. We live in a world of good and evil—the emphasis depends upon ourselves. . . " Through the entire play we are mentally carried away with such thoughts and even without the second play, "The Noblest Roman of Them All," the reader will find plenty of mental food to be thankful for in "The Comfort of Assurance." Clifford C. Mitchell. of friends to our cause if we but assumed a reasonable attitude in the ordinary things of life. People are not willing to make allowances for our fool peculiarities and the sooner we realize this and correct the evils the better we may fare as a group. Listed below are a few that get my goat and I am wondering if all of us are not guilty. Why is it, for instance, members of our race must show off on the street cars and trains when we are riding? Why must we hollow "goodbye," pull off our shoes and eat lunches all the time we are riding the twenty-four miles between towns. And why must we play our radios and player pianos in high all the time? Others want to sleep and enjoy the silence, at times at least. And why do our women have to grin every time someone says something?. People get tired of looking at snagged teeth and smelling foul breaths. And why must our young boys wear that topknot upon the head like a big African chief on parade? Have those mats cut off boys, they spoil the scenery. And why wear those stocking legs? They smell and look terrible. And why must the girls buy $100 coats to wear with hunover shoes? It's far better to have a $25 coat and good shoes and hats. Try this out girls. And why do the beautiful brown skinned girls use so much rouge when their skins are so much more beautiful without it? Really, girls, some of you look like big Indian warriors in full paint. You look hideous, take it from me. And will some one tell me why the really dark people (and I mean no offense) will not find out that red and purple and black do not fit their complexions as well as some other colors. You should consult your friends as to the colors that suit best and stay therein. There are many that show up better with certain complexions than others. And why do you never stop to consult a dictionary when you are about to use a verb? In this day and time with free day and night schools, there is no excuse for a bright young boy or girl splitting verbs as they so often do. A little effort for a few weeks will help you over the worse ones. And there's the matter of trying to sing. Every Negro can no more sing than every white man can be president. If you haven't a voice don't try to impress us. If you are so unfortunate as not to be able to sing like Roland Hayes, it's no disgrace, so just keep your mouth shut tight and stop displaying your dumbness. We like you better that way. Another thing: When talking to white and colored men look them straight in the eye. How long must we wear that terrible badge of slavery? It may hurt you at first, but you will gradually get used to it and like it. Besides, it will mean worlds to your children. They really love fearless and independent parents and nothing impresses more than by looking your opponent directly in the eye. A good New Year's resolution to make is to determine during the ensuing year to save something for the rainy day. It is getting tight out here, brothers! It is getting darn tight. And while it is no use givering over BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL KELLY MILLER SAYS: KELLY MILLER SAYS: LOOKING FORWARD To the Negro Race, Greetings: The world faces the year 1932 with the gloomiest prospect which it has ever confronted since the human race became conscious of itself as a whole. For the first time in the history of the species, the resources of the world and of its component nations have been surveyed. These are found to be adequate to supply the material and spiritual needs of the present population with reasonable allowance for future growth and expansion. There still alas, awaits the requisite national and world statesmanship to properly mobilize and proportion these resources for the wellbeing of mankind, regardless of race, nationality or bounds of habitation. Individual, national and racial selfishness and greed have reached an impasse. Hitherto science and invention have been used as an instrument of exploitation of the weak and heavy laden in all lands. But this regime is at an end. The new day is at hand. Hence forward, if the powerful and mighty—the few with special ability or special privilege—perish in the futile attempt to utilize science and machinery to further enrich themselves at the expense of the less fortunate, it will turn again and rend them. In the immediate future, science will begin where religion left off, as the chief instrument in promoting the brotherhood of man. Henry Ford is the one commanding genius of the industrial age. He sees the utter futility of money which, unless consecrated to the common wish, is still the root of all evil. His billions of dollars to which he holds the technical title are, he affirms, not his in any personal or selfish sense. They are of little more advantage to them than they are to you and me. Every penny of his accumulations is devoted to human well-being. He is the apostle of the social as contrasted with the selfish motive. He is a social trustee responsible to his conscience for the faithful administration of his trust. An awful fate, we are told, in the old hymn, awaits that man who his trust betrays. They are but false prophets of prosperity who, for the last two years, have been proclaiming the speedy return of the bloated prosperity of 1920, with its forty-thousand millionaires, and half thousand super rich with annual incomes of over a million dollars. The oft repeated Hooverian prophecy of the immediate return of the glorious era of '29 has fallen beneath the weight of its own fatality. The false prophet is requited with loss of confidence in his prophecy. The rich will never again revel in the riot of such luxuriant riches as they did in tweney-nine nor would mankind benefit by such one-sided exuberance. Statesmish must find a nobler goal than this. The combined social wisdom of the nation and of the nations must look forward and not backward for the new goal. Thoughtful Lines By AL PINCKNEY Thoughtful Lines By AL PINCKNEY Time and again it has been expressed that the Negro "understands" the South, and that the South "understands" the Negro—we find it extremely essential that we make a study of and become better versed with the word "understand." * * * * Complacency—self-satisfaction—is the greatest enemy of achievement. We must keep looking forward. Like Alexander, we must be constantly seeking new worlds to conquer. * * * * We have been receiving considerable "statics" from station Tenth-Eleventh and You streets, during the past week or two—which proves disparaging to the general Ear; yet whose fault is when we tune in on such stations and do not quickly tune in another? It requires a desperate struggle spilt milk, some of this condition was, brought upon ourselves. was brought upon ourselves. It is high time that we realized that there are no royal roads ahead for us at the present time and begin at the bottom (where we should have begun) and build upward. An honest day's work for a reasonable day's pay will still be the standard of and unit of wealth and happiness, even when this terrible spell passes. The Negro might as well say, "I have made a mistake, I was foolish to think that there is a short cut to full manhood, I will arise and learn and earn and save something." Be it ever so small, a saving of a penny hath its reward. and must press forward to the mark of the new calling. It is but a fallacious statesmanship which has brought on depression in the midst of plenty; hunger, cold and nakedness in the midst of unparalleled accumulation of food, fuel and fiber; unemployment because labor has produced a surplus in which it does not share. If there are more pegs than there are holes, it is because human capacity and greed insists in needlessly limiting the number of holes. We face the new year in such a time as this—a time when the old economic order is battered, as it were, with the shocks of doom. Unless one misdiscerns the signs of the times, 1932 is to be a year of reshaping of social aims and ideals—a momentous year in the story of human existence on this planet. The advanced statesmanship of the world, including Europe, America and Asia, sees what lies before us. The age of accumulation must now give way to the age of distribution. Just as it required the whole of the nineteenth century to consolidate the cumulative effect of the industrial age, inaugurated by the invention of machinery during the latter part of the eighteenth century, just so it will require perhaps the rest of the twentieth century to distribute these accumulated benefits, not for the aggrandizement of the favored individuals of nations or nations, but for the best general good of all. The best statesmanlike thought of America, England, Germany, Italy, France, Japan, yea, even Russia, is alike feeling for the better. As patriotic Americans we must believe that our country will be the first to find the way out. From the depth of the trough of depression, we know that the star of hope is shining in the sky overhead, albeit, it may be obscured for the time by intervening clouds which lower ominously. There is that optimism of human nature which intuitively knows that ultimately the bad will give way to the good, the good to the better, the better to the best, and the best to the beatific. With the infallible assurance of this hope, we face the new year with courage and resolution triumphant over cowardice and despair. But a cursed spite forces me to confine these universal remarks to a group of seemingly slight importance in the totality of things. And yet we are assured that the last shall be first. Those who share least in the old order will gain most from the new. A group with special grievances has little tolerance when the whole social fabric is in travail. The man with the toothache is a nuisance to his neighbors, especially if momentous tasks impend. Let the Negro, then, as he faces the year 1932, which is bound to be memorial in human history, acquire the national consciousness and world mind, resting assured that specific ills must, in the last analysis, yield to generic treatment. for those who would be faithful, clean and honest to stand firm against the deceptions and abominations which are disguised in sacredotal garments and introduced into our lives. --- The great controversy between good and evil will increase in intensity to the very close of time. In all ages the wrath of Evil has been manifested against the church of God — but the "church" of God still lives and thrives. **** If we desire to gain over the wicked, we must shut our eyes against many things—remembering, that every sin has its price that eventually must be paid. **** Unfortunately some of us have been deluded by the thought of incompetence. Probably we have been told so often that we cannot do certain things that we've come to believe we can't. But success or failure is merely a state of mind. Believe we cannot, and we can't. ... Great artists and great writers are rarely troubled by theories; one of the chief characteristics of mature genius is that it springs directly from conception to expression without much thought as to the means. --- We will never improve ourselves by dwelling upon the drawbacks of our neighbors. We will never attain perfect health and strength by thinking of weakness or disease. No man ever made a perfect score by watching his rival's target. **** We may touch people mechanically, but if there's no soul fellowship, there will be an impregnable, impassable gulf between. We cannot go to them, and they cannot as they are come to us--there's no vibrating chain of sympathy between us. VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS MAY GET SPECIAL ACT IN CONGRESS BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THEATERS SPORTS BOARD PLANSTO RAISE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS STATUS BOARD PLANSTO RAISE VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS STATUS Seek Legislation To Put Schools On Par With The Board of Education approved the report of the advisory committee on vocational education at its meeting at Franklin Administration Building, Wednesday afternoon. In discussing the report, Dr. Frank Ballou, superintendent of schools, said vocational schools can not be on a junior high school basis or level without legislation. Legislation will be sought to make salaries of principals and teachers in the two types of schools on a par. Dr. Ballou said clerks should be provided for vocational schools. At present vocational schools are operated on the elementary school plan. By construction of a new building for the Dennison Vocational School, white, the school authorities plan to raze the old structure and build in its place a new school for Phelps Vocational School, which is now inadequate for its purpose. To Hold Tests for Matrons Dr. Ballou recommended to the board that formal examinations to qualify candidates for the position of matron be conducted. This latter list will supersede the present list. The superintendent said the examination will place on the list a better qualified number of candidates. Those with some previous nurse training will be given preference. The examination will be held in about two weeks. The salary is approvately $1,500 per year. This will be the first time such an examination will have been held. A communication was received by the board announcing the awarding of the contract for addition to the Douglass-Simmons School to the Little Construction Company for $131,850. The board also approved the appointment of G. W. Woodson as teacher of physics in senior high school. It was also revealed that 3,973 school employees contributed $59,695.05* to the Community Chest.

HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE Death Of White Woman A Coroner's jury exonerated James R. Green, 20, 1612. Church street, northwest, from blame in the death of Catherine Bailey, 72, white, 1421 Massachusetts avenue, northwest. The woman was struck by an automobile which was being driven by Green at the intersection of Fourteenth and Church streets, northwest, on December 12. Green was arrested by Officer Hodges, of No. 2 Precinct, and charged with reckless driving. He was subsequently released on bond. On January 4, the woman died and Green was again arrested and held for the action of the Coroner. Testimony of the witnesses developed that the woman was carrying an umbrella because it was raining, and the defendant's view was obstructed by a passing car whose driver was not apprehended. Green's brakes were in the best of condition as he was able to stop on wet asphalt in a shorter distance than required by law. The defendant was represented by Attorneys E. F. Coleman and C. D.

Managers Battle Over NEW YORK (ANP)—A legal battle for the possession of the professional services of Louis Armstrong, well known cornet player, was supposed to begin in the United States District Court, here, Monday, as a result of misunderstanding between John J. Collins, former general manager of the Keith vaudeville circuit, and Thomas J. Rockewell, Armstrong's former manager. Armstrong's talents are supposed to have a sales value of about one quarter of a million dollars, and Rockewell, who used to control the Armstrong talent, is now engaged in an effort to retain or regain the control which seems to have by some sort of hocus pocus been transferred to Collins. Several notorious characters in Chicago are under bond as a result of a gang attack which is alleged to have been made upon Armstrong. This attack is thought to have been instigated by Rockwell or his friends in order to force Armstrong to lose from Collins. Prior to the expected Monday hearing, it was stated that the cornet player and Collins were in hiding. A view of a portion of the large given away to the needy. Leon W.

Pinn Recognized By Conference After a Lengthy Debate The Rev. James L. Pinn, ousted member and pastor of the First Baptist Church, Georgetown, was voted still a member of the Baptist Ministers' Conference following an executive session of that body Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Monday. The recognition of the Rev. Pinn followed a lengthy debate by ministers from the floor. Many took the stand that since the Rev. Pinn was excommunicated from the First Baptist Church he was automatically dropped from the conference. Others said that once a member of the conference it took that body to oust him. Since being ousted from the Georgetown church the Rev. Pinn has formed the Good Will Baptist Church at Sixteenth and U streets, northwest. The church was recognized by an alleged "hand-picked" council by the pastor after two other councils had failed to recognize the church. A number of ministers are planning to call another council and pass on the validity of the Good Will Church. This group says that the president of the Baptist Ministers Conference and many other ministers were ignored when the "hand-picked" council passed on the Good Will Church. Friends Remember Tom Lee, River Hero MEMPHIS, Tenn. — (ANP) There's something about a passing steamboat that causes a riverman to turn and look at it until the boat disappears around a bend. Back in May, 1925, Tom Lee turned in his motor boat to take a last look at the steamer M. E. Norman. What Tom saw caused him to put the rudder "hard down," race back and rescue 32 persons cast into the water when the boat capsized. Twenty-three others lost their lives. The victims were visiting engineers and their wives, guests on a sightseeing trip. Memphis engineers felt kindly towards Tom and bought him a house and lot. Every Christmas they remember Tom and his folks. Tom enjoyed a fine Christmas this year. He wore new clothes and there was extra change in his pockets. The engineers had remembered. Mrs. G. W. Miller, one of those rescued, did the buying.

SEVERAL HUNDRED RECEIVE SHOES FOR NEW YEARS Hundreds of women and girls were made happy last Saturday, January 2, when Leon Williams, president and manager of the Dollar Dry Cleaners, Inc., at 1729-31-33 Seventh street, northwest, gave several hundred pairs of brand new shoes to the poor. The system that Mr. Williams employed in the distribution of the shoes was somewhat new. The pastors of the 184 colored churches in Washington received at their watch-meeting services New Year's eve night a personal message from Mr. Williams, together with a supply of free shoe tickets. These tickets, when signed by the pastor, entitled the holder to a new pair of shoes absolutely free. Long before ten o'clock Saturday morning the time scheduled for the distribution, hundreds of women and children were standing at the several entrances to the plant. Mr. Williams and the employees were busy the entire day seeing that everyone who came was properly fitted with a pair of shoes. Mr. Williams will be remembered for his charitable act of feeding hundreds of poor people last winter when he shut down a large part of his large modern dry cleaning plant for two hours each day and used his employees to serve the hundreds of men, women and children who came on the coldest days of the winter seeking food. His contributions to the Phyllis Wheatley Y. W. C. A., the six homes for Aged Colored People, summer camps, and other charitable institutions, have impressed Mr. Williams indelibly upon the hearts of the people not only of Washington but wherever his humanitarian deeds have spread.

News Dealers Arrested For Selling Obscene Magazines Emmet J. Johnson, 39, newdealer of 143 Florida avenue, northwest, was one of the six dealers given a hearing in Police Court, Tuesday morning, before Judge Gus A. Schuldt after being arrested the night before with 125 other newsdealers on charges of "offering indecent publications for sale." Each member of the group demanded a jury trial, which is scheduled to come up Tuesday. All were released after posting $25 collateral. The arrest of these men is the result of a city-wide drive by police to rid the town of dealers who sell publications containing pictures and other matter of alleged obscene nature. Action against the other 125 dealers is pending the outcome of the cases against the six, these cases serving as tests, according to United States Assistant Attorney Michael F. Keogh. The magazines objected to are Ballyhoo, Hooyey and Slapsick. Over 1,000 copies of these books were seized from local dealers. METERED CABS TO WORK HARDSHIP ON SMALL OWNERS METERED CABS TO WORK HARDSHIP ON SMALL OWNERS Public Utilities Order May Banish Individual Owners From Streets If the Public Utilities Commission orders the installation of meters on taxicabs operating in the District it will mean the elimination of 250 individual owners from the streets, it was pointed out by one of the large taxicab owners to the Tribune, this week. This official said the order will hardly effect the larger of the companies here, but it will play havoc with individual owners. The commission has ordered the change be made effective January 10. A petition for a 40-day extension of the order has been filed by one of the large white companies. Several appeals have been filed in the District Supreme Court and hearings to determine the validity of the order are now in progress. One of the larger colored owners told the Tribune that there are approximately 700 colored drivers of taxi cabs in the city. About 250 of this number are individual owners, while there are some 25 companies operating two or more cabs. The change to meters will have little effect on the cost to passengers, but the installation of meters cost about $100 per cab. This and the added rigid test all cars must stand under the new order will banish weaker companies and private operators from the streets. The taxicab war during the summer months caused the commission to step in and try to regulate the taxicab industry here. At one time the rate war forced prices down to 5 cent city proper. Only one of the large colored companies is represented by council at the hearings, but several interested owners are, attending court. One large owner pointed out that the 20-cent rate for short hauls was a profit to his company, although his drivers lost when passengers rode long distance. He was of the opinion that meters would stalalize the business and banish much competition from smaller operators. He said he expected to take a loss while the public was being educated to the meter cabs. Find $1,000 On Dead Man's Body RUSTON, La.
