Man Works 8 Days In Peonage; Owes Company 45c COLUMBIA TEMPLE FIGHT INVOLVES J. FINLEY WILSON FOUR MURDERS CAPITAL WEEKLY A PEONAGE CASE UP BEFORE HOUSE LABOR COMMITTEE Otis Davis Worked Eight Days for Jones and Co. And Owed them 45c A peculiarly significant example of the possible far-reaching effect of an individual protest was clearly demonstrated Wednesday at the hearings of the Committee on Labor in the House of Representatives. The Committee has before, it several bills pertaining to the prevailing rate of wages paid on government contracts. The incident in question came during the testimony of the Hon. William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor. The present law which regulates the wages to be paid on all government contracts was enacted during the third session of the Seventy-First Congress, and since its passage several complaints have come to the administration and to Labor organizations concerning flagrant violations of the law. These infringements have been effected in many ways, included among which may be mentioned, the policy of sub-letting at a lower rate than the prevailing rate as determined by the Secret 7 of Labor; compelling the employee to rebate under some agreement; and through the agencies of other nefarious and unscrupulous schemes which permit the contractor to avoid the letter of the law. Davis Discharged Mr. Green set forth in his testimony before the Committee the complaint of Otis Davis, a Negro, who was employed by the S. K. Jones Construction Co. of Memphis, Tenn., and worked in peonage. Davis was discharged by Jones Co. but alleged that 'e was not paid the money which was due him, some $22. His claim finally reached the office of a Mr. McKinley, Deputy Commissioner of Labor of the State of A.; answere who demanded an accounting by the Jones Co. The latter company replied to the letter of Mr. McKinley, discrediting the statement of Davis as that of a disgruntled, discharged employee, and that it was quite common for them to receive such complaints. However, the Jones Co. was stupid enough to also submit an itemized statement of the service of Davis. This statement disclosed the following facts; Davis worked on the average of from six to ten hours per day at the rate of 12 and one half cents per hour. He had worked on the following days during the month of September; 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and part of the 16th. He was discharged on the 17th. His total compensation for these days amounted to $9.55. The employer then set forth that Davis owed a certain sum for board, tent lodging, ice water, and supplies. The total of his indebtedness to the company was $10.30. So in truth Davis owed the company 45 cents. Laughter Ensues This report evoked a laugh from the committee but at the same time stirred them to a high pitch of protest and condemnation of the gross unfairness of the Jones Co- Several members voiced their opinions in no uncertain terms of this appalling state of affairs, and vigorously recommended that measures be adopted to curtail such practices. Mr. Davis is also to be admired for his determination in diligently prosecuting his claim. He had no idea that his case would be referred to, before the Labor Committee in Congress. This is a striking example of just what may be accomplished by a simple fight for rights. The case of Davis made an impression on the members of the Committee, and it may be that this very own Sumitomo apa saccid sum apa in framing future legislation to do away with these evils. National Benefit Fate May Be Settled Tuesday The fate of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company may be settled in the District Supreme Court, next Tuesday, when Justice Alfred A. Wheat will hear arguments from attorneys as to why he should not make the present receiver permanent. Arguments were heard, Tuesday of this week, but will be completed next Tuesday.

Younger, former government worker and automobile salesman, was dismissed on a charge of embezzling $1,500 from Mrs. Gwendolyn Brown, 1903 Fifteenth street, northwest, apartment 1, in Criminal Court 1, Thursday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Justice F. Dickerson Letts, presided. Younger was represented by Attorneys Karl Kinderberger and L. C. Garnett. District Attorney Kirkland represented the government. Younger's attorney challenged three women who were on the jury and replaced them with men. Mrs. Brown who is deaf, used an ear trumpet to hear questions put to her by lawyers. Evidence was to the effect that she met Younger at a social gathering in Virginia last summer. She testified that at the instigation of Younger, she was induced to borrow two sums of money on a piece of property left to her at 2221 Twelfth street by her father. The first sum was for $1,000, and the second for $500. She said Younger took the first sum of money and spent it within two days. She said he never bought a taxicab. The second sum was borrowed to buy cabs also. She said Younger spent nearly all of this sum except a small amount he paid on several of her bills. Defense council brought out the fact that Mrs. Brown and Younger spent four week-ends last summer in New York together. He also said that Mrs. Brown gave Younger the money and both spent it on good times in New York. He also said that Mrs. Brown purchased a diamond ring for Younger and one for herself. Mrs. Brown is well known in Washington society and due to a physical handicap she lost her position in the government.

Aged Woman Fatally Injured When Struck by Auto Near Her Home Mrs. Julia Russell, 70-year-old, 3224 Prospect avenue, was instantly killed Saturday night when she was struck by an automobile driven by Rodney M. Jones, 29, 3850 Dennison street. The accident occurred in the middle of the block where Mrs. Russell lived during a heavy snow storm. Jones with the aid of Charles Fleet took the injured woman to Georgetown Hospital where she was pronounced dead on arrival by Dr. William Kauffman. Jones was arrested by Sergeant Beverly C. Beach and Patrolman Daniel Foley of the Seventh Precinct and held pending a Coroner's inquest. Following an investigation a Coroner's jury at the District Morgan Tuesday morning, Jones was exonerated following a verdict of accidental death. Taking the stand in his own behalf, Jones declared that his vision was blurred by the heavy snow and he failed to see the woman until she was directly in front of his car. He said he applied his brakes, but it was too late to prevent striking the woman. A brake test by the police department revealed that the foot brake was faulty. THREE CRUSHED TO DEATH WHEN BRIDGE CRASHES Ions of Concrete Fall On Workmen When Span Collapses Three men, one colored, were killed Tuesday afternoon when a portion of the Sligo Bridge in Takoma Park, Park, collapsed and fell 75 feet burying the men under tons of concrete. The dead are Harold Davis, 40; Media, Pa.; Guv L. Cowperwait, Elkton, Md., white, and Edward T. Tracey, 33, white, Takoma Park. According to an eye witness six men were working on the span at the time of the crash. Three of them managed to run to safety while the others attempted to run up the incline but were caught in the crash and hurled to the valley below with the concrete. The three men to escape were Archie Davis, brother of the dead man; Edward Dotson, Grant Airy, Md., and Wellington Rose, of Mount Airy. The crew had dynamited one end of the bridge just before lunch and upon returning to work had started to cut away the supports holding the remaining portion with acetylene torches and compressed air cutters. The supports holding the large 40-foot slab of concrete roadway buckled and gave way and the solid mass slid forward and crashed. The work of demolishing the bridge and the construction of a new span had been awarded to the firm of Forbes and Murphy Construction Company, of Baltimore. The bodies of the dead men were taken to their home towns.

"I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD YOU RASCAL" RECORD, RILES MINION OF THE LAW "I'LL BE GLAD WHEN YOU'RE DEAD YOU RASCAL" RECORD, RILES MINION OF THE LAW Cop Arrests Woman For Slurring Him With Phonograph Record; Judge Dismisses Case Against Mrs. Evelyn Smallwood Sassing a policeman with a phonograph record is not disorderly conduct, Officer W. A. Fish of No. 4 Precinct learned when he hailed Mrs. Evelyn Smallwood, 321 Virginia avenue, southwest, into Police Court last Friday. A CORRECTION Last week we inadvertently published the name of Edwin J. Davis as the son of Dr. and Mrs. J. Frank Mrs. Smallwood told the court and later a Tribune reporter that she was talking to a friend out of her window when Patrolman Fish came along and told her to "shut up." She said she stopped talking, but started to eat peanuts and throw the shells out of the window. When one of the shells fell near the officer's feet he came into the house and according to Mrs. Smallwood he said "I'll drag you out of here." When the law left Mrs. Smallwood she tried out a new record on her phonograph and as the strains of "I'll be glad when you're dead, you rascal you" drifted out of the window the law thought she was singing and arrested her on a charge of disorderly conduct and throwing peanuts in the street. Both charges were dismissed by Judge John P. McMahon. Mrs. Smallwood still plays her record while Officer Fish ignores the popular strain when he passes by 821 Virginia avenue. JULIUS ROSENWALD INHERITED GIFTS FROM HIS MOTHER JULIUS ROSENWALD INHERITED GIFTS FROM HIS MOTHER Practiced Principles of Christianity to a Degree Seldom Reached CHICAGO, Jan.—ANP—With the sudden death last week of Julius Rosenwald, great philanthropist and friend of humanity, public attention was turned to a study of his amazingly successful career from a boy pedaling an organ for five cents an hour to a man possessing one of America's largest fortunes, and to a consideration of the influences in his life which made him one of the world's biggest and wisest givers. The key to Mr Rosenwald's generosity and kippiness, according to George W. Kersey, one of the colored men who have served with distinction in the Illinois state legislature, was his mother, Mrs. Julius Rosenwald. Mr. Kersey tells the following intimate story of the early life and home surroundings of the philanthropist and merchant prince. "I have never had any doubt that Mr. Rosenwald was kind and generous by nature. He gave because of a sinee desire to help. There was no member of the Rosenwald family who should not have had this same humanitarian spirit. Others were less able to give, but all members of the family had a deep interest in humanity. "I believe that they must have inherited this gift of kindness from Mr. Rosenwald's mother, Mrs. Julia Rosenwald. I knew her for many years. Back in the early ninies, I was a mail carrier and the Rosenwald home at 3842 South Park avenue, was on my route. Some of the most cherished memories of my life involve that kindly old lady. She gave me many gifts, but these are not the things I remember most. Her concern for the comfort of other people was her chief characteristic. If it rained, she was (Continued on page 16) Office: 920 U St., N. W.

DEPRIEST-BLANTON IN VERBAL CLASH Minois Representative Takes Issue With Southerner A verbal clash between Representative Oscar DePriest and Representative Thomas Blanton, Democrat of Texas, in the House of Representatives over the election several laughs and applause last of members by machines caused Tuesday. According to the record the verbal tilt between the two representatives follows: Mr. DePriest: I understood the gentleman to say awhile ago that some of us on this side of the aisle were elected by machines. Mr. Blanton: Yours was not as sunlit as some of the others. Mr. DePriest: I knew the gentleman was not talking about me at that time. Mr. Blanton: But you do have a machine there. Mr. DePriest: There is no question about that. (Laughter). The gentleman stated that the gentlemen on the other side are elected by the people. In the United States Court last. Friday there was a bill brought up for consideration there from Texas stating that your party is a white man's party. Tell what that means. Mr. Blanton: My party is for a white man's party in primaries. Mr. DePriest: I know; but that does not include everybody as the people. Mr. Blanton: We are for a white man's party in primaries because we think the majority has a right to rule in primaries and the white men are in the majority, and it is our primary. Mr. DePriest: The people I am talking abut— Mr. Blanton: You colored people have been voting with the Republicans all your lives and you have never got anything out of them yet, and you never will get anything out of them. (Laughter and applause. Every colored man in this Capitol who gets in a tight fix and needs money does not go to you and does not go to the Republican steering committee but comes to us southern members for help. (Applause.) Mr. DePriest: Will the gentleman yield for a further question? Mr. Blanton: No; I have not the time, because I want to finish this statement. To Undergo Operation Thomas J.

To the farmer, said he, Christ likened the kingdom of the sower; to a domestic, it was. like a lump of leaven, and to fish- ermen, it was pictured as a net.’ So that ever after, whenever a farmer went out to sow, the Beat of the seeds upon the’ different types of soil eduld but be a re- minder; whenever the cook en- gaged in preparing a meal the leavening of the bread preached the kingdom story anew, and so with the fishermen as they sat upon river banksiand assorted the good fish from the bad. “In other words,” he continued, “if one but knows his Book, he ean turn in no direction but that he will meet up with Jehovah.” “Good Church Members” Changing the tenor somewhat, the crusading pastor made some homely illustrations of a snare, picturing the wooden duck used by hunters as a decoy. This “duck”, he observed, is so much like real one that it is difficult to distin- gan from one that really has e. ‘The real “stir” came, however, when he charged that the devil's most effective decoy is a mere “good church member” who goes to church regularly, pays well, per- haps holds office, and looks just like a genuine Christian, Like the duck, of course, he is spiritually dead, and it is in the home of such that parlor dances and exclusive parties create desires that too often lead to the slums. He is far more fearful of the up-to-date places of .chatice and “amuse- ment” than of those tabooed by society in general. His boy would not go to a’ drunken dive, but he might go to a “nice home” where just as much liquor is served. His daughter would not go to a public dance hal because of the talk about it, but she might accept in- vitation to a “fashionable ball”, where the same passions are created. “Doctors Recommend Our | ‘AMBULANCE Call Metropolitan 8401 | | JOHN T.

THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932 HUNTINGTON HIGH SCHOOL GIVEN CLASS"A" Only High School In The State Of Virginia So Rated By Eddie King Huntington High School of Newport News is the only Negro high school in Virginia given an accredited rating by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, according to official announcements received today by Superintendent Joseph N. Saunders, and L. F. Palmer, principal of the local school. The announcement was released by Dr. Arthur D. Wright, of Washington, D.C., executive agent of the Association. Negro high schools were considered for accredited rating for the first time in the history of the Association at the meeting held in Montgomery, Ala., December 1, 1931. Twenty Negro secondary institutions in the South were given a fully accredited standing. Of these, twelve are private and eight public. The recognition of these schools by the highest rating agency in the south gives them a Class A standing among the high schools in the country. Their graduates will be admitted to the best colleges and universities of the nation without examination and without condition. Began in One Room Huntington High School, Virginia's sole representative on this list, is one of the younger Negro secondary schools in this state. It began in one room of the John Marshall Elementary School in September, 1919, with an enrollment of forty-two. The next year it was moved to a four room frame building in Nighteenth street and formally organized as a high school under the direction of its present principal, L. F. Palmer, formerly a professor at Wilberforce University. The enrollment for that year was 134, and the teaching staff was increased to four. In 1922 the building was enlarged by adding four more rooms, and four additional teachers were employed to take care of the constantly growing enrollment which was now more than 250. In 1923 the school was accredited by the Virginia State Board of Education and sent out its first graduating class. There were thirty-three in this class. In 1924, the high school moved into its present building—a fine brick structure at 16th street and Marshall avenue. This building contains seventeen class rooms, an auditorium, a library, well equipped laboratories, a cafeteria, offices, and rest rooms. It is situated on a campus of seven and one-half acres, including and enclosed athletic field—the gift of the estate of the late Collis P. Huntington for whom the school was named. It now has an enrollment of nearly 600, with an administrative and instructional staff of twenty. CAPITAL VIEW NEWS By Mrs. W.

CHILDREN AT SCHOOL 129 HAVE VARIED ACTIVITIES DURING HOLIDAYS By Louis Brown Christmas, with its attendant festivities gave an opportunity to put to use many of the outstanding abilities of the children. Individual tastes were appealed to in the primary grades through the making of toy wagons, large enough to ride in, banjos that actually made sounds, dolls, the right size for cuddling, sets of furniture, aeroplanes, trains and many other brightly colored things that made the little folks happy. The toys made were put to various uses. Some were made for poor children, some for friends, some for the children themselves and some for exhibition. Individual talents were used in the two plays presented and in the singing of Christmas carols. The plays were presented at First Baptist Church, Bond Street and Ashland Avenue, to a large audience December 22. Miss Ellen Scott, play director, first presented a pantomime, "The Seven Gifts," thus using those with a talent for acting but none for speech. The cast of characters included Anthony Flowers, Jones Stedman, James Jennings, Bernice Taylor, Caroline Freeman, Alma Clardy, Harold Davage, George Evans, Edward Wilson, Benjamin Crawford, James Rose, William Ceasins, James Humphrey, Charles Robinson, Lovell Smith, Clarence White, Beulah Brown, Vivian Green, Harry Chaney, George Thrower, Cecelia Guest, David Scott, Bertha Hyinson. Between the plays a group of singers sang carols under the direction of Mrs. Britt and Miss Julius. For the fun-loving a comedy was presented named "Alias Santa Claus." Characters included James Jennings, Herold Davage, James Stedman, James Ross, Jeremiah Allen, Anthony Flowers, Pauline Guest, Charles Robinson. Edward Wilson, George Evans, Mary Noble and Gladys Garrett. Visit Old Folks' Home Visit Old Folks' Home The same group that sang carols for the school sang them also for the inmates of the Old Folks Home. They carried them gifts of food and clothing donated by the entire student body. On Thursday the old folks were presented with the school tree already trimmed. For the trimming of the tree each class brought trimmings and presented short programs in little groups around the tree. There were trees and various Christmas decorations in all of the classrooms. Some of the classes even had trees trimmed with electric lights while in others just handmade decorations were displayed, Then followed the parties and treats. There were candy canes, candy stockings, boxes of candy, potato salad, punch, ice cream, cake and all kinds of good things. One of the best parties given was given to Mrs. Jones' practice class by the sisters of the Catholic Church in the Convent of St. Francis of Assissi on Maryland Avenue and Twenty-third Street. The children were given plates heaped high with good things to eat. They were given in addition to this, candy, cake and ice cream. Each child was presented with toys bought to suit his individual tastes. Needless to say they were speechless with joy. And then there was the singing of the carols by the whole school in front of the building on Wednesday morning.

BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, ONE OF AMERICA'S GREATEST SONS On January 17th occurs the 226th anniversary of a great American who should not be forgotten amid the nation's tribute to George Washington this year; for this noted American was not only a glory to our history but without him Washington might not have been able to achieve our independence. This great American was Benjamin Franklin, who became, next to George Washington, the best known American of the 18th century. Wherever enlightened men gathered during Franklin's lifetime, they accounted him foremost in philosophy, politics and diplomacy, and to this day his name is secure in history as that of a pioneer in science. Franklin was one of the most versatile men of our history. His clear thinking and good common sense won him fame everywhere. As for his winning personality, it proved a tremendous asset to the American cause. The final victories of Washington on the battlefield would never have been possible but for Franklin's skill in the field of diplomacy and his ultimate winning of the French nation to America's side. Born in Boston Born in Boston Benjamin Franklin was born in Boston, on January 17, 1706, the United States George Washington Bicentennial Commission reminds us. His father wanted him to learn the trade of candle-making, an occupation that he 'disliked so much that he threatened to revolt. To forestall his running away to sea, the boy Franklin was appointed apprentice to his half-brother, James, a printer; and here Franklin's rapid self-education got its start. In his brother's shop he met intelligent people, he eagerly read the best books, and he soon tried his hand at writing for his brother's newspaper, called ```markdown ``` ELEVEN ORNER the "first sensational sheet in America." Quarreling with his brother, Franklin set out for Philadelphia, at the age of 17, to make his own way. There he soon caught the attention of Governor Keith at whose suggestion he went to London. There, in spite of many hardships he soon obtained employment and his agreeable personality brought him many influential friends. One of them, a Quaker merchant named Denham, offered Franklin a job in a store that he planned to open in Philadelphia. Within a short time Denham died and Franklin again was without a job, but his next step was important. Buys Paper With Hugh Meredith he established a printing shop in Philadelphia and in ten years he had made it the most important business of its kind in the country. Next he bought the Pennsylvania Gazette, which soon gained a circulation of 10,000 and became one of the outstanding paners of the time. In this paper he began those pithy maxims to be gathered under the title of "Poer Richard's Almanac," which lives today in lasting fame. Meanwhile Franklin's interest and activities had broadened in every direction. He founded the American Philosophical Society, organized the first fire company in Philadelphia, and became the city's postmaster and clerk of the Pennsylvania Assembly. His interest in science also developed, and he invented a stove and began those experiments in electricity which have made his name a household word in the scientific world. **Invents Lightning Rod** Every schoolboy knows the story of Franklin's suspicion that the lightningbolt was simply a larger specimen of the spark he drew from a Leyden jar. He proved the likeness with his historic experiment of the kite and the key during a thunder-storm. The invention of the lightning-rod soon followed. Franklin's diplomatic feats make too long a list for a newspaper column, but it was he who first sought to blind the Colonies together in union. He performed many saving services for the Colonies before the Revolution, and during that struggle his influence in France provided the factor that turned the Revolution to victory for America. Even at 81, Franklin's deeds for his country were not yet ended for in 1727 he performed the culminating service of his long and great career with the fitting act of becoming a member of the Convention that wrote the Constitution. Throughout his life he was a devoted admirer of George Washington, and the friendship of these two men is one of the fairest pages in early American history. On his death, on April 17, 1790, Franklin willed his cane to Washington, with the famous word "My fine crab-tree walking stick, with a gold head curiously wrought in the form of a cap of liberty. I give to my friend and the friend of mankind, General Washington. If it were a seep, he has merited it and would become it." Boy Missing From Home Warren C. Baker, 12, was re- reported missing from his home, 1711 Eighth street, northwest, since early Tuesday evening. Police are aiding his father, John C. Baker in the search for him. Such Beautiful Hair!

Spartan A.C., at Howard. Dunbar at Douglass. Cardozo at Howard. Fight for the 1932 title should be the hottest in coference history. The blow off of the S.A.H.S. conference was last Friday, with Armstrong and Howard at Washington, and six more games coming on this week. By Friday nightg every team in the conference circuit will have played its first game. It is usual to make the prediction that the coming race will be the best in history. It is no jest this year, for there appears to be more good teams than in most past seasons, and a tightly balanced race should result. Armstrong nosed out Howard in an exciting battle here, Friday night, 19 to 15. With two minutes, left to play, Howard led, 14 to 13. Coach Westmoreland changed the teams. The Generals jumped out in front and held the lead. Howard Looks Good Probably the most outstanding development in the past week's activities was the remarkable showing made by Coach Neville Reed's Howard team. Playing but one game, they made such a fine impression that they are being doped as strong as any other team in the conference circle. Douglass Wing. 14.12 Douglass Wins, 14-12 Douglass showed its championship pretensions by defeating Armstrong, 14 to 12, in one of the early season's defensive battles seen on the Tech courts. Unless they cool off they are headed towards a long chase in spring of victories. They need defibrillated, shaded and followed a play to nearest a and showed it in the pitch of condition. A veteran high school team was such a criding, with Dumbar heavily wre prominent in the Tech's title chances. and of football regulars, Weaver, Jacquie, Robinson, Dyson, and Tolson. They Dunbar and Douglass will meet in Baltimore. This will be the first conference game of the season for Dunbar, while Douglass is resting in first place from their victory over Armouring. Last year, Dunbar won the first game of the series. Coach Perkins has done considerable shifting to strike the best combination, and when he finally works out the smoothest quintet he should have a fine team, possibly the best that Dunbar has had in several years. With the team still in the formative state, it is hard to dope the ultimate ranking of the Poets. Howard High won another non-conference game from the Pioneer A.C., 29 to 11. Loperp continues to star forr his team, and is largely responsible for the advance the team is making toward the championship. Should Howard climb out ahead of the whole field at the end of the season in March, Loper will be among those deserving most credit. This seintilating midget has already evoked the praise of the critics, and if he continues in his present stride he will easily be one of the stars of the season.

HAMPTON NOT TO HOLD TOURNEY HAMPTON NOT TO HOLD TOURNEY By Cras. H. Williams HAMPTON INSTITUTE.—For the past three years Hampton has sponsored a National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament for the high schools of the country; first, with the view of encouraging and helping to develop wider participation in basketball among secondary schools; and second, to furnish an opportunity for state champions, runners up, and teams with unusual records to play in a National Championship. This movement has aided the various state associations in carrying out their programs for competitive athletics. The response on the part of the high schools of the country has been all that could be looked for. The states of Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and the District of Columbia have entered teams from the beginning. The second year of the tournament, teams entered from Lexington and Louisville, Ky., and Lincoln Park High School of Fort Pierce, Florida. Last year marked the appearance of such teams as Roosevelt High from Gary, Indiana; Wendell Phillips from Chicago; and Douglass High of Baltimore. The tournament was truly growing to be a national one. However, because of the economic conditions throughout the country, Hampton will not hold a National tournament in 1932.

C. of Woodbury, in a rapid-fire game, 17-16. In a preliminary game the Bordentown girls' team had defeated the Douglass Hospital Nurses, 30-0. The Woodbury outfit proved a close guarding group and the Ironsides players were forced to make most of their points at long range. Murphy, towering center for the Wildcats, started the ball rolling with a long toss that looped from the center of the floor. Morris followed with three pretty field goals to put his team in the lead at half time. 9-8. Maiden and Galloway were the key men in the Woodbury attack, and these were constantly threatening the Bordentown defense until the final whistle. H. U.-CITY COLLEGE GAME IN BALANCE Howard Waits on Final Terms From New York Before Accepting Dr. Clarence W.

If the two teams meet it will be the first time that two major colored and white colleges have played. Dr. Davis said due to financial difficulties the proposed game with the College of Mexico had been cancelled. POOR OFFICIALS MAR COURT TILT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—In a game that was marred by poor officiating and constant fouling, Hampton's court team defeated Union 23-17 to land their first C. I. A. A. victory of the season. The Hamptonians, playing on a foreign floor, where the ball is played off the wall and out of window sills, clearly outclassed their opponents, scoring fourteen points in the first half to Union's four. Hunt was high point scorer with a trio of twin pointeds and a brace of fouls for eight points, while Stackhouse of Union with seven points led the Panthers' scorers. H. U. SOCCER TEAM STILL SUPREME Hampton Only Team To Beat Bisons in three- Year Campaign Mantaintaining its soccer supremacy among colleges, Howard University again completes a season without defeat, although held by Hampton to a scoreless tie. Only once in three years has any Bison opponent emerged victorious This feat was achieved by the Seasiders at Hampton in 1930, the team which held Howard to a no score tie this year in the Bison stadium. The season record for 1931 follows: Howard, 3, Lincoln 2; Howard, 0, Hampton, 0; Howard 2, Hampton, 1; Howard 2, Lincoln, 1. Soccer was inaugurated at Howard by Prince Hosea K. Nyabongo in 1920, was recognized as a senior sport rewarded with the varsity letter and accorded financial support by action of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control in 1930, and received full recognition by the C.I.A.A. in 1931. The Bisons have consistently held the championship and bids fair to do so for several years to come. Their success lies largely in the fact that the majority of the members of every year's team are foreign students who have had intensive training long before coming to Howard University, whereas, to their contenders, the game is comparatively new. However, as the Lincoln and Hampton men become more soccer conscious and more expert with each succeeding year they produce material more worthy the mettle of the championship team. The following Jamaicans received their letters for soccer at Howard in 1930: Aubrey C. Lindo (Cornwall College), Lenworth W. Jacobs (Happy Grove), Aubrey S. Willacy, and Winston W. Roberts (Kingston College), Bertie B. Burrowes (Wolmer's School). All the above named men were members of the 1931 team, with the addition of Barrington Sutherland and James S. Collar (Cabar College). The positions these men played were: Willacy, goal; Gray, rightback; Lindo, center half; Sutherland, right half; Jacobs, outside left; Roberts, inside left, and Burrowes, center forward. An interesting situation at Howard is the fact that although the personnel of the soccer team is almost entirely foreign, the team has an American coach in the person of Arthur O. Waller. Mr. Waller is a graduate of Springfield College, and spent a year in graduate study in physical education in Europe. He is new instructor in physical education at Howard.

Joe Rainey's clan now has a string of thirty-three consecutive victories. The most exciting game of the week was the return game played with the Quicksteppers, which was won in the final fifteen seconds of play when Evelyn Mann tossed a beautiful basket from the left side of the basket to earn a 19-17 win for the girls. For more than half of the fray it appeared as though the National girl champions were in for their first defeat in many a moon, and at that at the hands of boys. After ten minutes of play the male quintet was leading 8-1, due to the stellar tossing of double deckers by Washington. Lil Fountain and Evelyn Mann were pressed into service at this stage, however, and at once the champs began to hit on all five cylinders. Lightning passes and fine shooting enabled the girls to pull within one point of their rivals before the half ended, when the numerals stood at 10-9. Last Monday night the Hornets snowed under Father Galen's St. Raphael Five by the count of 55-0. The white girls were no match for their Negro rivals.

Phone North 10312 SENATE COMMITTEE LEAVES NEGRO OUT OF PICTURE (CNS)—Despite the fact that one-seventh of the unemployment workers in the country are Negroes, the Senate Committee on Manufactures, which held hearings last week on the bills for direct Federal grants for unemployment relief introduced by Senators Costigan and LaFollette, no Negro organizations or welfare executives were among the score or more called to testify as to unemployment conditions throughout the country. Advices received from the office of Senator LaFollette, who is chairman of the committee, were to the effect that no Negroes had been called before the committee and none were contemplated. Thus fan the only evidence relating to the sad condition of Negro unemployment workers given at the hearing were those introduced by Herbert Benjamin, white communist leader of the "Hunger Machers," who came here recently. Mr. Benjamin, accompanied by a Negro Communist, demanded to be heard on the unemployment problem. The Senate Committee was subject to criticism for its failure to investigate unemployment conditions among Negroes from varied sources. It was pointed out that the hearing was being conducted to determine the full extent of unemployment and that inasmuch as Senator LaFollette, the sponsor of the bill, was labelling himself as a "progressive" he had shown lack of vision in not calling on such national agencies as the National Urban League. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and similar organizations, which are best fitted to give a true picture of the real conditions facing such a large group of American citizens. jurisdiction over the city's civil service employees, is now president of the commission. The retirement of Dave R. Jones, white, automatically raised the next oldest member of the commission, who was Mr. Davis. Cleveland is the only city in the country to have a colored man ever serve in such a capacity. Best Remedy for Cough Is Easily Mixed at Home You'll never know how quickly a stubborn cough due to a cold can be conquered, until you try this famous recipe. It is used in millions of homes, believe it. It gives promise, positif relief than anything else. It's no trouble at all to mix and costs but a trifle. Into a pint bottle, pour 2½ ounces of Pinex; then add pinn granulated sugar syrup or strained honey to make a full pint. This saves two-thirds of the money usually spent for medicine, and gives a purer, better remedy. It spills, spoils, and tastes children like it. You can actually feel its penetrating, soothing action on the inflamed throat membranes. It is also absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial mucosa, promptly loosens the gernial phlegm. This three-fold action explains why it brings such quick relief even in those severe coughs which follow cold epidemics. It is concentrated compound of Norway Pine, containing the active agent of cresote, in a refined, palatable form, and known as one of the greatest medicinal agents for severe coughs and bronchial irritations. Do not accept a substitute for Pinex, or give prompt relief or money refunded.

Miss Crawford, given her choice of giving up the man she loves or ruining his poli- tical career, faces a conflict which has all the elements of excellent screen drama. The race track and all of its intimate sidelights—bookies, phone rooms, and all of the other ramifi- cations—will no longer retain their secrets after you see “Reckless Living.” The Universal film of tin-horn and big-time gamblers at tne Lincoln Theatre, offering the happiest combination of origin- ality in plot, delectable romance, and excellence of cast that the season’s crop has yet presented, tears the illicit gambling em- poriums of the track just about limb from limb and allows you to look right inside and see just what is what. Through a maze of the most sparkling slangy dialogue you have heard in a long time, Ricardo Cor- tez, the suave: Mae Clarke, the talented; and Norman Foster, the boyish, ‘play tne semi-villainous gambler; the heroine who makes rye in q bathtub; and the hero who falls in and out of “scrapes” with alarming regularity—respectively, of course. Cortez was never bet- ter. He is the snarling, tender, unscrupulous phone room’ proprie- tor to a tee, and if he does not “steal” the picture completely it probably is because of the bril- liance of the blonde, Miss Clarke and the scintillating Foster. Lincoln Theatre Stage Attraction On the Lincoin Theatre stage fo the entire week beginning Friday January 15, will be seen and heard Banjo Bernie's Cottonaires in Fr+1- zied Rythm. This incomparable band comes direct from Atlantic City, where they scored a tremen- dous hit.

Winninger, Hedda Hopper, Guy Kibbee and Herbert Braggioti, The story, which concerns’ the hilarious adventures of Rusty, madeap airplane inventor (played by Lahr) and his futile attempts to escape the clutches of Pansy, an amorous waitress (Miss Green- wood), is filled to the brim with humorous episodes. High spots include a spectacular — aviation show which is concerned as much with beautiful chorus girls as with airplanes; the novel “Happy Land- ings” dance number, and the amusing examination of girl stu- dents for entrance inté the avia- tion school. ‘Song hits heard in the picture include “The First Time for Me,” written by George DeSylva, Lew Brown and Ray Henderson, who with John McGowan wrote the book and lyrics of the original musical comedy, and also “Dance Until the Dawn” and “The Exami- nation Number,” composed by James McHugh and Dorothy Fields who will be remembered for “Go Home and Tell Your Mother” ‘amone other hits. BROADWAY, SUN- ’ DAY AND MONDAY, “THE CHAMP” The hero of “Tne Big House” plays the father of “Skippy” in a combination that is really an event of the screen season.

To all others he is a “has-been,” but to the boy, he is the greatest man on earth. And, when the time comes, the old fighter makes a sacrifice for the boy's future that Proves him the best man of them all. Se a DUKE ELLINGTON IN SYRACUSE. N. Y. SYRACUSE, N.

Washington turned out to welcome the conquering heroes who are fresh from engagements in other cities. These boys have made the walls of the Lincoln Colonnade ring with their fantastic para- ‘phrasing. The ever smiling pian- ‘ist, Coleridge Davis, seemed very happy to be able to bring the boys back to their old home. The versatile Charles Ray acted as master of ceremonies. The or- chestra opened with “Sweet Sue,” played as only Hardy Brothers can play it. The Happy Feet Chorus came next and was clever in that only the girls’ feet were visible at first below the curtain. The cos- tums were attractive also. Galli de Gaston and George Wil- liams brought some new gags. In fact, Washingtonians are becoming quite fond of this pair. And what's more, they were rather dolled up this week. Galli was in sport togs with plush fours, a cap, green hose and to cap the climax, a black shirt. George was in frst a tan suit and brown derby, then a gray suit and gray hat. Slater anq Euen The team of Slater and Euen was good.’ They sang a little song about “After Laughter Comes Tears.” For emphasis they began pinching each other, then patting, then slapping, shoving. strangling and finally kicking, The audience seemed to enjoy this horseplay. Later they sang and danced to the strains of “What is it That Makes Me Want You?” The Hardy Brothers put over some very pleasing numbers. “I Could Do Anything for You,” with accompaniment by Ray; “Sleepy Time Down South;” “I'll Be Glad When You Are Dead;” King Bor- der Stomp, and Nobody's Sweet- heart Now.” And did they play with a feeling? Especially “Sleepy Time Down South,” and “I'll Be Glad When You're Dead,” with re- frains by Ray. More than one foot in the audience was patting as those muffled instruments pour- ed forth their melody. The banjo was plenty lively, too. And that drum had a mighty roar. Red and Struggie Those two boys, Red and Strug- gic, created much favorable com- ment. They have rhythm in every bone and even the creases of their big leg trousers fall gracefully. Washington audiences like to see fellows acting like girls, too, which these fellows did comically. And last, but notn least, their ren- dition of the “Wampus” was sup- erb, Ristina Banks and her mermaids in “Hit the Bottle” made a unique act. The girls were in pirate cos- tumes with bottles which had lights attached and which lighted the stage, giving it a weird atmos- phere. ‘And then a lady fresh from Eu- ropean triumphs, Edith Wilson, singing in her own inimitable man- ner, “It Takes a Good Woman Now-a-Days to Keep a Good Man at Home,” and “Somebody's Get- ting What is Coming-to Me.” She was the feature of the program. ‘Dunbar Theatre Has Continuous Cold Water The Dunbar Theatre, Seventh and T streets, has added a delight- ful courtesy for its many patrons in the installation of a Nerco Elee- trie. water cooler. This recent slap in the face of ald man de- pression evidences the determina. tion of the Crescent Amusement Corporation to keep abreast of the times, and electrically cooled water will be appreciated by every- one. The electric water cooler was installeg by the F. 8. Harris Company, Inc, of 2900 Fourteenth street, northwest, and is an exact duplicate of the one recently. in- stalled in the Tribune plant by the same company. “The Big Gamble,” starring Bill Boyd and Warner Oland, will be the feature attraction at the Re- public Theatre, on Sunday, Mon- day, Tuesday, and Wednesday, Jan- uary 17 to 20. Others in the cast are James Gleason, Zasu Pitts, Ralph Ince and Dorothy Sebastian. “The Big Gamble” is the dramatic ‘story of the strangest bargain two men and a woman ever made. Dead broke, and spirits broken, this man sold his future for twelve months of riches and romance. And then came the pay off. He had to make one hundred thousand dollars in a year, or else. “The Big Gamble” has mere thrills, more’ surprises than you ever saw in a picture. Marilyn Miller and Ben Lyon in “Her Majesty Love,” will be the feature attraction ‘on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, January 21, 22 and 23. And look who else is in this pieture—your old favorites, Ford Sterling and Chester Conkiin, Chapter No. 5, of “The Sign of the Wolf,” will be shown on Saturday, January 23, only. pee Cab Calloway Off For an | Eleven Weeks’ Tour This week the Mills Blue Rythm Band replaces Cab Calloway at the Cotton Club in New York and will be heard four times weekly on the air waves. : Calloway leaves for ‘an eleven week tour of the Paramount Thea- re Circuit.

The show clicked from start to finish and drew salvo after salvo of applause as Leslie’s galaxy of stars strutted their stuff at the Garrick Theatre. Valaida, the Berry Brothers, Pike Davis’ Con- tinental Orchestra and Cecil Mack's choir all took the house by storm. For Miss Waters was reserved special honors. She is a popular favorite in Chicago's rialto, having heen “dircovered,” so to speak, by Ashton Stevens, the dean of local dramatic critics. Stevens, about nine years ago, made a visit to the Southside and heard Miss Waters singing at the old Grand Theatre. He recognized her talent and_pre- dicted a big future for her. Since Stevens applied ink to paper for her, the singing comedienne has had a growing following in this city. pean ehh aaa Hampton Girls Excell In Concert NORFOLK, Va.

Sweet, as chief speaker on a program celebrating the sixty-ninth anniversary of the emancipation proclamation, declared that the Negro's rights and duties, privileges and opportunities, must come to be the same as those of every other citizen in the United States. The former governor praised the Negro for the progress which he has made since slavery, condemned mob violence, criticised the insincerity of some white people who fear to treat frankly with Negroes about their mutual human problems, and urged the members of his audience in the New Hope Baptist church to prepare themselves for a citizenship that was larger than race or party and that would enable the Negro to become not an issue, but a force in the politics of the country which, through our Democratic form of government is responsible for the country's welfare. Part of Speech "America is the home of those Negroes whose ancestors came here in by-gone days," asserted Governor Sweet. "You were born here, you must live and work and die in the United States; therefore what you are to be depends upon those circumstances which surround you now. It is impossible to fix permanently the status of the Negro. "The Negro expects and demands that those influences of society and government which are operative in the life of the white man shall be in all respects applicable to his race also. Furthermore, the Negro demands that he shall be removed from that status of guardianship which the white race has too long exercised over him. This is especially true in the South. The Negro no longer feels that he exists in the relation of a ward of a white man, or as a backward minor, to be treated as a child. He demands the right to stand squarely on his feet, to hold his head high, not in arrogance, but with the sense that he is master of his soul. "The Negro demands that he be judged for what he is, as any human being is judged. He asks that prejudice because of his race, color, or previous condition of servitude, be eliminated. The Negro is entitled to the equal protection of our laws and all those rights and privileges enjoyed by every American citizen under the constitution." Referring to the Negro's political status, the governor continued: "The primary interest of the Negro in politics has been, and is now, and may be for some time to come, that of securing his proper status as a citizen. He will seek to advance legislation which is to his advantage and to defeat legislation which he believes to be detrimental to his interests. Both personal sad civil protection is of primary importance to the Negro and he will not cease fighting until he gets it. He will not fight alone, for there are many white men who will stand shoulder to shoulder with him until he is secure in all his rights under the law. "Be independent in your political thinking. Be a member of a politi- cal party but not subservient at all times to the opinion of the party leaders unless you feel that they are leading in the right direction. Stand for public office and expect people to support you because of what you are in character, and what you advocate politically. "Upon this basis I wish to place in nomination Mr. Fritz Cansler of this city as the nominee of both parties, for the legislature of Colorado. If he is elected, and he ought to be since he is being nominated on both tickets, I feel sure that he will be elected speaker of the house, for neither party would have the courage to oppose him." MCLEMORE FILES AS DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE JosephL. McLemore of St. Louis, Will Contest L.C. Dyer's Seat ST. LOUISE, Ma. (ANP)—Joseph L. McLemore, prominent lawyer of this city, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congressman, filed his formal declaration with the Secretary of State, last Tuesday, and announced the platform upon which he will make his primary race. McLemore's platform favors doing away with the "rapacious" tactics of the Republican administration. It is expected that he will definitely take the wet end of the prohibition fight in Missouri if elected. Claims Negroes Exploited Discussing unemployment McLemore said: "The unemployment situation is our most immediate pressing problem. So far, from ridding the courtyard of its poor houses, the Republican administration has by its policy of favoring predatory interests, actually increased poverty among the masses. "I believe that the best method of alleviating the economic ills upon us is to move directly forward with our public building program in St. Louis, which was approved by voters in a primary election here some years ago. This would absorb some of the jobless all over the country, without favoring any section. This is preferably to charity or dole, both of which tend to lessen self-respect, and encourage idolence. Lack of Employment "Present-day conditions of commerce and finance as well as lack of employment should lead us to inquire into what measures to adopt to prevent their recurrence. The experience of this panic will be of little service to us if we do not strive to prevent the repetition of such conditions in the future. Unemployment insurance and old age insurance are sound and practical. The idea of these instrumentalities are to some disturbing because of the apparent difficulty of working them out. "Republican politicians have for half a century exploited the Negro vote. They have counted the votes in advance and have at the ballot box cast them enmase. They have rewarded political allies with our vote even when the candidate was unfit for office. This practice is detrimental to the Negro and inimical to good government. My efforts will be toward correcting this evil." Statewide Race All Congressmen who have heretofore been elected by districts will in the future be chosen by a State-wide vote. McLemore was the Democratic nominee four years ago when he NEST VILLE HIPITAL VI Most Exclusive Colored Hon Buying Investigate Our opposed L. C. Dyer, the Republican nominee and present incumbent from the Twelfth district. At that time as now, McLemore had the support of the Twelfth district Democratic organization. He polled eighteen thousand votes to approximately twenty-four thousand of his white opponent. BISHOP CLINTON'S WIFE PASSES TUSKEEGE, Ala. (ANP)—Mrs. Marie L. Clinton, the widow of the late Bishop George Wylie Clinton, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, who for many years maintained his episcopal residence at Charlotte, N.C., passed away on Saturday night, January 9, at the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute, Alabama where she had been a patient since last August. She co-operated actively with Bishop Clinton in all his church activities, visiting his conferences, assisting him in his clerical work, and taking a leading part in the missionary activities of the entire denomination. Until she entered the hospital at Tuskegee, she had served as the superintendent of the "Buds of Promise," an auxiliary of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Work of the church which enrolled the children in active missionary interest and service. Mrs. Clinton was perhaps best known as a singer with a voice of unusual sweetness and charm. Before her marriage to Bishop Clinton, as Miss Marie Cay, she travelled extensively for a number of years as one of the "Claflin Jubilee Singers," who represented the interests of Claflin University at Orangeburg, S.C., and of the A.M. E. Church, which founded it. She continued to sing after leaving the Claflin group, and rarely attended a religious gathering anywhere without being called upon to lead the spirituals, which she did with rare and satisfying effectiveness. born in Alabama Mrs. Clinton was born in Huntsville, Alabama, to which place she returned for a short stay with relatives until she was taken to Tuskegee for treatment. She graduated from Spelman Seminary in Atlanta in the early nineties, and was teaching school in her native state at the time of her marriage to Bishop Clinton, who was then the youngest bishop in the church. Mrs. Clinton is survived by two sisters in Huntsville, Alabama, another in Washington, D.C., a brother in Nashville, and another in New York, besides the son of Bishop Clinton by a former marriage, Dr. George W. Clinton, a dentist of Philadelphia. Funeral services were held in the Little Rock A.M.E. Zion Church of Charlotte, on the following Tuesday, in which both Bishop and Mrs. Clinton maintained their membership until the end. The officiating minister was the Rev. Polk Fonville, the pastor of the church, longstanding friend of the family, and by Dr. G. Lake Imes, of Tuskegee Institute, who gave his personal attention to Mrs. Clinton and her affairs for months prior to her passing. Ritchie Entertains Colored Children With Movie ANNAPOLIS, Md. — (CNS) — Governor Albert Ritchie, entertained at a post-Christmas party here last week, 2,700 children of whom 700 were colored. The Governor had a separate moving picture for the 2,000 whites and for the colored children. He made personal appearance at both theatres and greeted his little guests. THE TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. JANUARY 15:1932 DR. W. A. PLECKER REGISTER, ISSUES STATEMENT Dr. Plecker Suggests Eliminating The Penal Penalties Virginia Laws Dr. W. A. Plecker, register of Vital Statistics for the State, whose racial integrity act has inflicted unfavorable comment in various sections of the country, in a statement to the press on Wednesday, admitted that the famous "one drop" law is too severe. Dr. Plecker, who is an outstanding advocate of legislation designed to guard the purity of the white race said in his statement that the 1931 law should be amended by repealing the penitentiary penalty. In spite of overwhelming evidence, Dr. Plecker said that sympathetic juries fail to convict in many instances because of the severe penalty. Continuing, the Director stated that although a considerable number of near-whitees with Negro accusers succeeded each year in securing at least a temporary registration on the birth certificate as white, fewer doctors and midwives are yelding to the desire of these people. As a result, the article further states younger children are being correctly registered as colored while their parents and other older members of the family got by with white registration. When the racial Act was passed, few, if any, thought that this law would prevent near-white people from passing for white. In view of the fact that the law set certain definite standards in reference to the quantity of white blood that is necessary before an individual could be classed as white, this law was ridiculed by the press. Dr. Plecker's statement is no surprise to the general public, especially those in the south who for a long time have known that the two races have mingled freely—though efforts were made to conceal this information. Insurance Men Form Volley Ball and Basketball Club Falling in line with the Census Bureau and Post Office, the National Benefit Life Insurance Company employees organized a recreational club of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. The men met Monday night and went through a light drill in the "y" gymnasium. The aggregation is priming for games with the Junior High teachers and the "y" Spikers. The club meets Monday and Wednesday of each week and the membership list includes W. O. Stewart, J. A. Weisgar, C. C. House, H. Dungee, U. Simpson Tate, H. S. McAlpin, B. V. Lawson, J. H. B.

Fiction, properly done, can carry more dynamite than all the bitter, vitriolic ravings of the demagogic minds; for instance, 'Uncle Tom's Cabin.' Clemency to Negro First Act of Kentucky's Democratic Governor FRANKFORT, Ky. — (CNS) — The first official act of Governor Ruby Laffoon, following his recent election over his Republican opponent, was the granting of a full and free pardon to Goldie Spicer, a colored man serving a three-year sentence for house breaking. The Governor's pardon order set out that Spicer was confined to the prison hospital suffering with pulmonary tuberculosis in its advanced stages, as shown by a statement of the prison physician. The Governor said chances for his recovery are slight. The order set out that Spicer's parents had agreed to support him. Spicer also served in the army during the World War, according to Governor Laffoon. Monroe School Club Aids Needy Families The Junior Boys' Club of the James Monroe School, which is sponsored by Milton V. Rose, recently made the needy families of the school neighborhood very happy by contributing four baskets containing supplies of groceries, canned goods, vegetables, candies and fruits. The club entertained a group of their friends and teachers at a party given at the school. Various games, stunts and other forms of entertainment featured the party. The principal, Mr. J. I. Minor, was presented with a token of remembrance. Recently the club members hiked to the Franciscan Monastery in Brooklyn, D. C. and last Saturday were guests at a theatre party. A reception in honor of their graduating members is being planned for February. BIRTHS Richard and Doea Williams, girl. James H. and Gladys S. Berry, girl. Howard and Fannie W. Spencer, boy.

(ANP)—William Stanford Gordon has invented a folding berth ladder for Pullman sleepers, the peculiar feature of which is that it can be attached to each birth without the assistance of a porter. The invention is said to eliminate the inconvenience heretofore experienced in jumping from upper berths. The Government has awarded Gordon a patent on this device, which is registered in the United States Patent Office at Washington, D.C. The Pullman Company has asked for plans and specifications in order that the engineer department can pass upon it. Already the inventor has been offered large sums of money for his patent. Mr. Gordon is a product of the public schools of the District of Columbia, has traveled extensively, and is now making his home with a sister at 1632 Manton street. Mr. Gordon has also invented a device for indicating the approach to the last line of writing on type-writing machines. This will be welcomed by operators, as considerable difficulty is often manifest in proper spacing of pages and in avoiding coming too near the edge of the paper. Mr. Gordon says that this can be attached to any make machine. WILLIAM I. LEE, Attorney 2321 E Street, N.W. SUPREME COURT, DISTRICT 14, 42690. Holding Probate Court. No. 42,690. Administration.

FINLEY WILSON (Continued from page 1) In her petition through Attorney Charles Robinson, Mrs. Colston states that she was elected financial secretary in June 1929, and installed in July of the same year and has served continuously since that time. The petition sets forth that Mrs. Katie V. Thompson was duly elected Daughter Ruler in December, 1930, and installed in January, 1931, and has been elected and served as such until the present time. Gave Up Books Mrs. Colston charges that in January 1931, she as financial secretary, and Mrs. Sallie M. Stockton, treasurer, of the Temple, were called upon to surrender to the board of trustees, consisting of Miss Burroughs and Mrs. Stevenson, of Columbia Temple, all of the books of accounts of the Temple for the purpose of an audit. She claims that among other things the board of trustees alleged that they were unable to satisfactorily audit the books or make necessary adjustments of certain entries. Mrs. Colston alleges in her petition that the reports of the trustees were unwarranted, without foundation and were made in bad faith in that she and Mrs. Stockton were given no sufficient opportunity to explain, check up, or adjust what has always been a highly complicated and impractical system of accounting. Givea Clean Bill The position states that on May 25, the Grand Daughter Secretary came to Washington and after an investigation, directed the trustees to return the books of account to Mrs. Colston and Mrs. Stockton. Following the order of the Grand Daughter Secretary, the petition states that Miss Burroughs and Mrs. Smothers preferred certain charges against Mrs. Colston and Mrs. Stockton. At a special committee hearing the charges were dismissed. Again Exonerated She says that Mr. Wilson had no authority to appear at the meeting. She said that at this meeting, Mr. Wilson stated that he would disregard the findings of the special committee and would take over the affairs of the Temple for the purpose of making a financial investigation. Believing that her conduct in office had been of the highest, she with Mrs. Stockton, surrendered the books to Mr. Wilson. She said that a meeting at the home of Mr. Wilson with the auditors revealed that there were certain inadvertent errors, but no evidence of corruption or malfeasance in office on the part of the plaintiff or Mrs. Stockton. The auditors recommended that the books be gone over with Mr. Wilson, Miss Burroughs and Mrs. Smothers, but she was never given the opportunity. After being given a clean bill by the auditors the report of the auditors was adopted by the Temple. They were paid the sum of $300 for their work by the Temple while Mr. Wilson accepted a donation of $300. During the investigation the bonds of Mrs. Colston and Mrs. Stockton had expired. In order to have it renewed it was necessary to have a certificate of audit signed by the trustees, but Miss Burroughs, Mrs. Smothess and Mrs. Stevenson refused to sign the certificate. As result of this refusal she failed to receive her salary of $50 per month as financial secretary. Seek Court Relief At a regular election of officers on the second Monday in December, 1831, Mr. Wilson caused to be read a paper purporting to be a "rule to show cause" why the Temple should not be suspended for allowing officers to handle accounts without giving a surety bond. She states that Mr. Wilson then conducted the meeting and virtually disqualified her from seeking reelection. She states that Mr. Wilson has by arbitrary acts deprived her of her rights within the organization and asks the court to restrain him from any attempt to interfere or conduct the affairs of the Temple; that Miss Burroughs, Mrs. Smothers and Mrs. Stevenson be directed to sign a certificate of order for the purpose of securing a bond and the others be prevented from interfering with the legitimate functioning of the Temple. JULIUS ROSENWALD INHERITED GIFTS FROM HIS MOTHER (Continued from page 14) concerned least I might get wet. If it were winter and cold, she inspected my clothes to see if I wore enough to keep warm. Forty years have passed, but I can still remember her packing papers into my clothes to help keep me warm. Had hed Nose "There was one humorous incident connected with her. One winter morning, I went to the Rosenwald hall and it was so cold that my nose was red. The kind old lady was so sorry for ; that she insisted that I must wear one of her veils over the rest of the route. But I could not make up my mind on the veil. "Throughout nine years, I enjoyed the kindnesses of Mrs. Rosenwald and the Rosenwald family. If I needed clothes, I had only to go to the old firm of Rosenwald (Julius) and Weil and I got them. I carry a watch now running in good order, which Mrs. Rosenwald had her husband give me. "She brightened the life of every person who came near her. Mr. Rosenwald, now dead, was a great business man, but he could not have gone into any line of endeavor without carrying the mark of that great kindness which his mother stammed upon him." Was Interested in Humanity Despite the fact that he was a Jew, Mr. Rosenwald practiced the principles of Christianity to a degree soldom reached by the Christians. He was not only interested in the welfare and advancement of his own race but in the betterment of humanity 11 general. His philanthropies aided practically every racial group in America and while he was known internationally as a business man his reputation as a believer in humanity was equally as wide-spread. His interest in the Negro group was conducting a campaign for funds to erect a Y.M.C.A. building in the Hyde Park district in which Mr. Rosenwald was living, and a group of solicitors went to him for a donation. After listening to their appeal he told them, "I think that the duty of contributing the necessary funds for this building should rest upon the shoulders of my wealthy friends, but tell Mr. Wilbur Messer, your general secretary, when the Association decides to erect a Y.M.C.A. building for Negroes in Chicago, I shall be glad to contribute toward the project." It was four years later before the seed that he had sown bore fruit and as a result in 1912 Chicago boasted of one of the finest Y.M.C.A. buildings for Negroes in the country. From this beginning, encouraged by Secretary Moorland of the national and local executives Messer and Parker, the philanthropist took an active interest in a national Y.M.C.A. building program and through his aid a number of Y.M.C.A.'s were erected. When the Wabash avenue "Y" was dedicated, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington was one of the principal speakers. At that time the founder of Tuskegee was in quest of a Chicagoan to serve on the board of trustees of the institute. Mr. Wilbur Messer, immediately suggested Mr. Rosenwald and arranged for an introduction between the two. Mr. Rosenwald agreed to join the board of Trustees and from that date took an active interest in the development of Tuskegee Institute while a close relationship developed between he and Dr. Washington. Much of his interest in Negro life came from the vision attained through his inti atet association with Dr. Washington. School Building Program This interest in the Negro group was widened a year later when after becoming a member of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, Washington interested Mr. Rosenwald, in a "school building program." After listening to Dr. Washington's plan he agreed to try it and as a result in 1913 the first Rosenw. 'school building was erected near Tuskegee Institute. Since that time more than 5,000 of these schools have been built throughout the Southland. As a member of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute he rendered valuable service in the advancement of that institution and also found it possible to aid other institutions of higher learning including Lincoln University, Fisk University, Meharry Medical College, Howard University, and Hampton Institute. Realizing that education without good health meant little to any people, in 1927, through the Rosenwith it a hospital building program, program was launched, carrying with a hospital building program. One of the largest gifts made by the Fund in this direction was to the Greater Provident Hospital and Nurse Training School here in Chicago, totalling more than a quarter million dollars. Through his gifts the Flint-Coodridge Hospital in New Orleans was made possible and other hospitals throughout the country have been aided as well as several physicians and surgeons afforded the opportunity of studying abroad. Leaders Praise His Work Leaders Praise His Work Leaders of all races have been loud in their praises of the work for humility carried on by Mr. Rosenwald who made a life as well as a living. In paying tribute to the deceased, Dr. Uchanning T. Tobias, Seiellor Secretary of the Colored Work Department of the National Y.M.C.A. Council stated: "Mr. Rosenwald has been the greatest factor in the institutional expansion of Y.M.C.A. work for Negroes throughout the nation. In the past twenty-odd years he has made possible the erection of twenty-four modern buildings for colored men and boys in widely distributed centers over the country. In each instance his gift was not less than $25,000. These gifts have been made in such a way as to encourage cooperative efforts between the races within the communities where the buildings have been erected. "It was significant that although loyal to his race and religion, when Mr. Rosenwald was convinced that a Christian organization was the best medium through which to encourage character building for the Negro youth, he did not hesitate to give more largely than Christians themselves, to this cause. In his honor the Colored Branches of the Y.M.C.A. throughout the nation will carry this "flags at half-mast for thirty-days." THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932 Miss Eva D. Bowles, national secretary in charge of colored work of the Y.W.C.A., declared: "Negro women of the Y.W.C.A. mourn with the nation the passing of a great friend of the people. His generosity has given an opportunity to demonstrate the ability of Negro women to administer successfully large buildings and equipment, thereby giving Negro women and girls a chance for self-expression." Mordecai Johnson Mordecai Johnson Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, president of Howard University, in paying homage to the departed phil.thropist said: "During his lifetime Julius Rosenwald exercised a creative influence of major proportions throughout the entire range of Negro education and life. He blesses us with a multitude of fundamental opportunities and services. He raised up friends for our advancement among able men in public and private life and established channels of interracial good will and cooperation which will continue to operate constructively for generations after his death. The whole nation must rejoice because he has lived and his name will be remembered by our children with increasing esteem and affection." From Dr. Arthur Howe, president of Hampton Institute, comes the statement: "The distinguishing characteristic of Julius Rosenwald philanthropy is not merely one of quantity but rather his willingness to spend capital as well as income for needs of humanity and his efforts for justice for all races. The world has lost a great citizen and untold efforts for justice for all races. The world has lost a great citizen and untold millions will enjoy more abundant life because of his devoted services. Hampton Institute shall be eternally grateful for his many contributions to her work.

He not only knew but he felt our needs and ministered to them in such a way that his work for us will continue in the lives of millions of Negroes." What he contributed to the advancement of better interracial relationships was set forth by Dr. Will W. Alexander, president of Dillard University and executive secretary of the Interracial Commission who stated: "The greatest gift of Mr. Rosenwald was not the vast amount given to education and welfare. Greater than this was his example of tolerance and good will without regard to race, creed or class. In a nation and generation where religious, racial and class distinctions have received far too much emphasis he gave a demonstration of religion at its best. The whole nation has felt the challenge of his example. Because of his life the America of the future will manifest a large tolerance as to race, creed and class. It has been the privilege of few men to render so valuable a national service." The estimate of Mrs. Annie M. Malone, president of Poro College and philanthropist, was epitomized as follows: "Julius Rosenwald was a prince among men whose work will be extolled by generations of Negroes yet unborn." Philanthropies to be Continued Announcement was made here Thursday that through the Rosenwald Family Association, organized by his children while he was ill, and the Rosenwald Fund, the various philanthropies of Mr. Rosenwald will be continued. The program includes additional bequests to the Rosenwald Fund and the entire program will be carried out by what has been termed the Rosenwald Family Association, thereby assuring a continuance of the noble work which he started.

MRS. MAE PERRY ELECTED PRSIDENT MME. WALKER CO. Upon recommendation of Mrs. Mae Walker Perry, who succeeded her foster mother, Madam A'Lelia Walker, as president of the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, makers of Mme. Walker's Hair and Toilet preparations, and Attorney F. B. Ranson, general manager, the Board of Directors in annual session have elected three of the company's long service employees to official positions. On November 4, fourteen years ago an attractive widow, mother of two little girls, laid aside her duties as a teacher in the public schools of Jackson, Mississippi and joined the late Mme. C. J. Walker as secretary and traveling companion. Through the years that followed, this energetic, ambitious personage accompanied Madam Walker in and out of many cities in many states, helped her over the mental valleys, and assisted in her rise to fame and fortune. The late Mme. Walker passed on to her well earned reward, but this stoic little widow continued in the services of the economic monument left to the Negro race. Here, there, everywhere she travelled. Throughout America and into foreign lands, promoting the interests of the legacy of her departed friend, working long hours, enduring great hardships, but doing her job, getting results no matter at what personal cost. That young widow was Mrs. Alice Erskine Burnett, present manager of the Madam C. J. Walker eastern headquarters and beauty culture school located in the Dunbar Court (Rockefeller) Apartments, 149th street and Seventh avenue, New York City, whom it is officially announced has been elected first vice-president of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company. The position she fills was left vacant by the elevation of Mrs. Mae Walker Perry to the presidency of the Walker Company upon the death of Mme. A'Lelia Walker, August 17, 1931, and is for the period of her remaining life. Mrs. Joyner Promoted A second chapter in this narrative of rewards that have come to employees of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, is the story of Mrs. Marjorie Stewart Joyner, dynamic expert Beautician, of, Chicago, Ill., who sold a most lucrative business to become a member of the crop of expert instructors of the Walker Company. This was in the fall of 1824. During her seven years of service she has travelled into almost every large city in the United States, to the West Indies Islands and successfully conducted large classes in the advance courses of beauty culture, and by her tireless effort elevated the Madam C. J. Walker course in Beauty Culture to be outstanding for its thoroughness and its comprehensiveness. Madam Walker's Chicago School of Beauty Culture, of which Mrs. Joyner is the manager, is a model school, licensee and approved by the Illinois Board of Health and Cosmetology. Its graduates have been particularly successful. Election of Mrs. Joyner to second vice-president of the Madam C. J. Walker Manafcturing Company, is a natural thing to expect. Deserving as she is of wider opportunity for self expression and display of her sound business judgment, the Board of Trustees voted unanimously for her promotion. Mrs. Eryne Osborne The story of how Mrs. Burnett and Mrs. Joyner, by dent of hard, tireless, cheerful work have achieved positions in the official family of the Walker Company is likewise the story of Mrs. P. Eryne Osborne, 2811 E. Vine street, Kansas City Mo., wife of Rev. W. E. Osborne, pastor of Ebenezer A.M. E. Church in that city. For several years Mrs. Osborne has edited the Christian Recorder, official organ of thousands of women connected with the great A.M.E. Church and devoted to Christian service throughout the world. Joining the Mme. C. J. Walker force of representatives early in 1924, and bringing to her new work a wide experience and acquaintance, Mrs. Osborne has achieved great success and she rose rapidly to become one of the most competent and highly paid employees of the company. As a representative she has no peer, and for several years has managed the Kansas City, Mo. branch of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, developing it to become one of the best paying branches of the organization. To climax her years of outstanding service to the Walker Company, Mrs. Osborne has been elected to the Board of five Trustees of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company, and the honorarium is a fitting recognition of her keen judgment and wide influence. She fills the place on the Board of Trustees left vacant by the late A'Lelia Walker. The elevation of Mesdames Burnett, Osborne and Joyner to official positions in the Mme, C, J. Walker Manufacturing Company is one of the first major acts of Mrs. Mae Walker Perry, new president of the company and bespeaks her intention to perpetuate the policies of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, founder of the company, and her daughter, A'Lelia, both of whose abiding wish was to make the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company the world's best tribute to the acumen and industry of Negro womanhood. Roster of Officers The new roster of officers of the Madam C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company is as follows: ing Company, is as to the board of Trustees—Atty T. B Ranson, Indianapolis, Ind.; Atty. R.

(ANP)—He ate some cake a woman gave him and went mad. That was the explanation given by Richard Ashe, condemned Hale county farmer in his plea for mercy before Gov. Miller, and the state board of pardons. Ashe, convicted of killing Crecy Crispin, said he ate some cake sent him by his victim. It made him sick, he said, and then he "went mad." He set the Crispin woman and her sister. Again and again Ashe said he wasn't responsible for the killing; that it was the cake that did it. The Crispin woman, he said, had taken up with a "herb doctor" after he had quarreled with her. Ashe is condemned to die in the electric chair at Kilby Prison, today, January 15. 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.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL ARMY OFFICER PASSED AS WHITE FOR 20 YEARS William J. French, Who Killed Himself, From Fine Chicago Family LOS ANGELES, Calif.—(ANP) —According to stories appearing in the local white dailies, a seven days' sensation has been created by the discovery in death that Lieut. William J. French, found dead near Gilroy, Saturday morning, was not a white man after all, but a Negro who had been masquerading as white with a brilliant career in the United States army for twenty years. Lieut. French was stationed at Camp Devens, Mass., but had come to California on leave for the holidays and had been visiting with his mother at Pasadena. He was a great favorite among his fellow officers and had been royally entertained by friends here and in San Francisco when he reported at the Presidio. With White Woman A white woman, Mrs. Gertrude McEnroe, was the only person able to throw any light on the strange circumstances of Lieut. French's death. She stated that she and the army officer had left San Francisco together in his car at five o'clock Saturday morning to come to this city. She claimed that he began acting queerly and that she suggested that they stop at San Jose. French, however, drove around San Jose and when they were near Gilroy, according to Mrs. McEnroe, he struck her across the head. He then drove the car off the road, through a fence and straight into a tree. She jumped out of the automobile and fled. A passing truck picked her up and took her to Gilroy. Police officers later went to search for the the car. They found French's dead body lying beside the machine with a bullet hole in the head. A pistol with one chamber empty lay on the running broad of the car. According to the stories in the dailies here, Mrs. McEnroe must have known that French, who she came here from Kansas City to meet at his invitation, was colored. She is quoted as expressing the belief that fear of the exposure of his racial identity probably led to a state of temporary insanity that caused him to take his life. It was conjectured that his position in the army, especially the command of white troops, and the social contacts with whites which he had made, had contributed to this fear. Mother Makes Statement But French's mother, Mrs. David French, who lives in Pasadena, and his sister, both denied that such a fear could have been responsible. They insisted that he had never gone to great pains to conceal his racial identity, that his complexion and his hair were unmistakable signs of his race and that, although he had many friends among white people, he never gave up his friends in the colored race. He had as many friends among his own race here as the average man in his circumstances. His sister also referred to many of the outfits he had served with in the army, especially his service in the Philippines, when his regiment was stationed next to a colored regiment, many of whose members knew the race of Lieut. French and associated with him. When he left San Francisco, his destination was his mother's home in Pasadena. She and his sister had received word from him that he would arrive in time to have Sunday morning breakfast with them. As soon as news of his unhappy end came to the distraught mother and sister, a brother-in-law, Geo Gray, of Chicago, assumed charge of the French household and proceeded to arrange for the funeral. French Family is Prominent Friends and relatives of the late Lieut. William J. French in Chicago were shocked when reports of his tragic end in California reached them here Sunday. George Gray, a brother-in-law of the dead officer, telephoned the latter's sister, Mrs. Bennet Gray, Sunday to inform her of the fatal ending of Lieut. French's spectacular career. Lieut. French belonged to one of the oldest and most distinguished colored families in this city. His father, David French, dead now for many years, was the oldest of six brothers, all of whom made a deep impression on the life of the city. One of Lieut. French's uncles, Martin, was the first colored man to serve as a bank guard, he was killed during a holdup of the bank. Another uncle was the late John B. French, former official at Tuskegee Institute, caterer on Chicago's gold coast, and later a member of the Illinois State Industrial Commission. 49 Years Old The dead officer was born in this city forty-nine years ago and educated in the public and high schools here. He had been in the army for twenty years. He married twice. His first wife was a colored woman. When she died, French told members of his family that he was going to cross the gap between the races. He then married a southern white beauty from Ogglethorpe, Ga., who detested Negroes. She is now dead. Members of his family here scouted the idea that Liuet, French had taken his life for fear his race would be exposed. They said that he made no attempt to conceal it and that many of his white friends and others knew what was. Once during the World War, he was stationed at Fort Snelling in Minnesota. A white officer called French "a Nigger." French promptly retaliated by chasing his "exposer" into the Mississippi River. Items of Interest Relative To Pellagra in America In connection with certain studies being conducted by the United States Public Health Service with reference to pellagra, considerable information of historical interest has recently been obtained. It appears that as early as 1864 a physician in New York and another in Massachusetts each reported a case of pellagra. Another physician in New York reported cases in 1882 and 1902. In 1906 an Alabama physician was the first to report pellagra in endemic form in this country. In submitting the report at that time, this physician pointed out that there had been cases present but unrecognized in the Mount Vernon, Ala., Insane Asylum each year since 1901. In 1912 a physician in South Carolina from a study of the clinical records of the South Carolina State Hospital for the Insane and some personal interviews and correspondence with practitioners, insane hospital authorities, and others concerned, reached the conclusion that the disease had been continuously present in South Carolina at least since 1828. He also presented information indicating that the same may be said of many other sections of the South. Few of the older American textbooks on medical subjects mention pellagra. Prior to 1907 It is not contended that his disease was as prevalent prior to 1907 as it was found to be during the years immediately following. In view of certain inevitable dietary readjustments resulting from shifting economic conditions which are now looked upon as the dominating factors in the epidemiology of the disease, there might easily have been, and it is probable there was an increase in incidence following the economic depression which began in 1907. It is a question whether this apparent epidemic nature has not been over-estimated to the hindrance of some of the early investigations undertaken to clear up its cause. Such pre-recognition information as has been brought together offers meager support to the view perhaps too commonly held that pellagra made a sudden appearance in the South and quickly assumed epidemic proportions analogous to that of an infectious condition. In view of its undoubted endemic existence prior to that time and with no reliable means of measuring its incidence before or even since the generally accepted basic requirements for the recognition of an epidemic are not entirely applicable. Negro Merchant Makes Donation To Charity; Gives 206 Pairs Of Shoes MUSKOGEE, Okla. (ANP)—Anouncement was made here, Saturday, by those in direct contact with the recent charity drive that the firm of T. J. Elliott, 1111 So. Second street, was one of the largest donors in the recent drive. Aside from personal contributions made by individual members of the T. J. Elliott firm, the corporation, itself, gave 206 pairs of fine new shoes to those who were unable to buy for themselves. The T. J. Elliott firm is one of Muskogee's largest department stores and has numbered among its clientele some of the leading citizens of both races. The store has a national reputation and does a large volume of business through the mail. The firm regularly employs a force of 12 clerks and has as many as 50 during the rush and holiday seasons. The senior member of the firm, Mr. T. J. Elliott, came to Indian Territory many years ago, taught school for a while, and later went into business and has conducted a large store for 28 years at his present place of business. The Elliott firm has over two hundred thousand dollars invested in the business, fixtures and building. Mr. T. J. Elliott is a native of Mississippi, having come to Indian Territory before Oklahoma was admitted as a state. He and the late Dr. Booker T. Washington were great friends, and the two were instrumental in bringing the National Negro Business League to Muskogee about twenty years ago. The Elliott also own several thousand acres of rich farm land in Muskogee and Wagoner counties. He is an officer of the National Negro Business League.

CONFISCATES PROPERTY OF DRY LAW VIOLATION Judge Orders State Attorney to Sell Farm of Couple with Children FREDERICKSBURG, Va. (ANP) —For the first time in the history of this State, the property of a citizen was confiscated for violation of the prohibition laws when Judge Frederick W. Coleman, of the King George county Circuit Court, directed Commonwealth's Attorney J. A. Lillingsley to take steps for the sale of the farm and home of Mrs. Mary Hailstalk, who has been remanded to jail to await trial on the third charge of dry law violations. Mrs. Hailstalk's husband, Joshua Hailstalk, has already been convicted of his third offense and sentenced to serve three years. The judge promised him five years if he came up for another violation. Judge Coleman said that under the laws of Virginia he could proceed with the sale of real estate where there has been a constant violation of the prohibition laws. He stated that even the fact that the children of the owner had an equity in the property did not prevent its sale, as they must have known it was being used for the sale of alcoholic beverages, and P HE SAYS "Speak --- M.

Masons Plan Shrine For Temple Here A committee of distinguished Masons, representing several Masonic jurisdictions, met at the residence of Grand Master Frank D. McKinney, 108 P street, northwest, and perfected an organization as a nucleus for a movement designed to create a National Masonic Shrine in the Temple at 10th and U streets, northwest. This committee is the outgrowth of a movement started by the Acacia Grand Lodge, the Supreme Council of Scottish Rite Masons of the Southern Jurisdiction, and the International Council of Grand Masters and Past Grand Masters, each of these bodies being represented by an accredited delegation. After invocation by Bishop Monroe Davis, of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the purpose of the call was stated by Grand Master McKinney, who in turn presented the Grand Master of the Maryland Jurisdiction, Willard W. Allen, Most Puissant Sovereign Grand Commander of Scottish Rite Masons, who outlined the proposition in a clear-cut manner, and called for suggestions as to the manner of its accomplishment. Various responses were made by the assembled guests, after which the body selected a committee to work out a plan and submit it at the next meeting of the group on January 22, 1932. The committee consists of W. H. C. Brown, chairman; Willard W. Allen, secretary; Cicero A. Lee, assistant secretary; Bishop Monroe Davis, chaplain; Hon. Jefferson S. Coage, James T. Beason, Dr. Ernest Lyons, William L. Fitzgerald, Dr. William H. Jackson, Jesse H. Mitchell, Benjamin F. Arrington, Joseph Evans, Isaac M. Carper, Charles D. Freeman, Ernest M. Dickerson, George M. Ambler and John L. Webb. After this committee reports on the 22 inst., a call will be sent out to each of the Masonic jurisdictions in the United States, enclosing a copy of the plan adopted, for a general conference of representatives of the varied jurisdictions to agree on a plan of action.

The Children's Church At Tabernacle Baptist "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth." (Romans 1:16.) "Not Afraid of the Gospel," was the theme which the pastor, Rev. E. J. Bradshaw, preached upon, last Sunday morning. At the close of the sermon, baptizing services were held. Mr. Bernard Chapman, chairman of the Visitors' Club, welcomed to the church all of the visitors of the congregation and expressed on behalf of the members his desire for them to return. The Children's Church is gaining in interest among the younger children. Each Sunday, immediately after Sunday school, the pastor gives a brief story and points a moral in the children's language. That the service is interesting to them is proven by the fact that they remember each of the sermons which the pastor has preached to them. So far they have five deacons with Master Wm. Knox as charisman. Each Sunday, at the beginning of their service, the deacons take the offering. They have resolved to compile their collections of each Sunday, and make, at the end of the year, a considerable donation to the building fund. Jackson's Office Moved For the information of newspaper correspondents, business callers seeking information, and tourists, James A. Jackson, of the United States Department of Commerce, announces the removal of his office to room 3511 in the new Commerce Building in the triangle between Pennsylvania avenue, and the Mall facing Fourteenth and Fifteenth streets. The work of Mr. Jackson's office has grown since its creation in the old Hurley-Wright Building in November, 1927, so as to warrant the department alloting to the Small Business Section 141 square feet more office space in the new structure than was occupied in the initial office. This provides more comfortable quarters for Mr. Jackson and his assistant, Daniel L. Wyckes, and will more readily accommodate callers. The Small Business Section moved on January 6.

Lewis, Halls Hill; Richard Green, Ballston; Kermit Plummer, Green Valley; Vernon Tyler, Penrose; Frank Burgess, Johnson Hill; George Pollard, Queen City; and both of the representatives. The Tribune representative of Arlington visited the new high school which has been recently completed for the colored people of Arlington county. The first of its kind in all these years for us. Fellow citizens, we wanted the school; now the school wants us. We have a new school building, modern in every respect. We have a splendid corps of teachers who are fully capable of handling the teaching of our children. But I found one saddening aspect. What is it? It is the shortage of pupils. Friends, you asked for a high school. Now you have it. You are wondering why we don't have more teachers. Why? Do you think for once that the county is going to the added expense of hiring teachers to come to the build- ing five days a week and ten months a year and sit up and look wise, or to sit there and look at empty seats? Parents and guardians, this is my earnest plea to you. Send your children to the school and co-operate with the teachers and school board in raising the standard of education of the colored people of Arlington county. "Down with illiteracy," should be our slogan.

Each club will start this month working on individual or club projects for the hobby show, which is to be given early in June. Hobby show? What is it? The question is asked many times. Every girl has one hobby she likes best. Perhaps it is needlework, collecting foreign stamps, painting or something else. During the year she is asked to express in some form of hand work the hobby she enjoys most. Mrs. Ann Davidson, who has made a study in this field, is chairman of the hobby committee. A group of Girls Reserve from the Busy Bee and Shaw Junior High clubs had charge of Vespers last Sunday afternoon. The theme of the service was "Ready for Service."

They at least can be commended for resisting the blood thirsty Americans in their disregard for law, life and liberty. Having lynched, burned and otherwise maltreated the Negro in America, the arrogant, blood thirsty, Bible quoting American thinks he can run over the natives of other lands. The Navy has raped Haiti, enforced its arrogance upon other small nations along the Gulf Cost, and even Mexico. It is this spirit that prompts the Mexican to use the word "Gringo" as an epithet in referring to the American white man. The Navy reports more than forty rape cases on white women in Hawaii in 1931. Governor Judd reports only two cases of rape of white women in 1931. Who is correct? The whole affair seems to be an outgrowth of personal misunderstanding between the Governor of the Islands and some Navy official. The Navy seems to be out to get Governor Judd's scalp. We are watching this case with keen interest. Speaking of the government breaking down in Hawaii, how about Maryland, West Virginia and Alabama in the fair United States?

"GREATER MYSTERIES OF ANCIENT EGYPT" By Aegyptus—"The Macrocism" (New Publishing Co.—Chicago) (New Publishing Co.—Chicago.) This is the first of ten volumes on the "Greater Mysteries of Ancient Egypt," and dwells exclusively on "The Macro-Cosmie Mystery," and prefaces in a general way the other nine mysteries that follow, being "The Micro-Cosmie Mystery"; "The Messianic Mystery"; "The Great Mother Mystery"; "The Astronomic Mystery"; "The Sphinx Mystery"; "The Pyramidon Mystery"; "The Amenta (After-Life) Mystery"; "The Ka (Double) Mystery"; and "The Pthah (Oasis-Christ) Mystery." Thinkers and students searching --- --- EIGHT after facts, especially on religious or free-masonry subjects, will enjoy this series of books, each complete in itself. After carefully reading and digesting the first volume one is seriously led to believe that all modern religions are Afro-Egyptian mysteries in their second childhood. In absorbing the facts on the ancient Egyptian doctrine of immortality of soul and the eventual bliss of Elysian Peace we are more than ever convinced that the first necessity to lay claim to any religious belief is to first understand and recognize all of 'Nature's Truths and when we learn these we know that man reaps exactly what he sows, no more and no less. Stripped of propaganda, the "Greater Mysteries of Ancient Egypt" make an interesting study of life, its origin and purpose. Clifford C. Mitchell. EDITORIAL FACE THE FACTS Editor, The Tribune, Sir: I have heard that Negroes in Chicago are employed in most, if not all of the stores in Negro districts. I don't see why the same could not exist here. Our newspapers and churches could help to bring this about. In the neighborhood where I live are two chain stores supported by Negroes, but employing white clerks. It makes me sore to see my people going there. I would like to tell them to stay away, but that is just what our newspapers and preachers should do. On U street, where most of our people seek amusement are many little stores owned and operated by whites and supported by Negroes. As long as we tolerate this sort of thing, we are going to stay at the bottom. It is time for our preachers to preach more about the good of race pride, and less about the gospel. The white man is smart enough to establish places of business in Negro districts, but not fair enough to employ Negroes to run them. This is an insult to us, but we are so busy worshiping a strange God (whom the white man taught us to believe in) we are blind to the fact. Yours truly, Rudolph Ravford. THANKS TRIBUNE We have enjoyed reading the excellent reports of our clubs in your paper, from time go time, and take this measure of thanking you for the same. Sincerely yours, Mrs. Gabrielle B. Breake, President of the Maceo Literary and Dramatic Club. MOTHER OPPOSES METHOD OF HANDLING THE RECORDS To the Editor: Knowing your long and sympathetic attitude and consideration for the parents in this city I am now asking your cooperation in a matter which I consider of utmost importance. Our schools are supposed to give the children eighteen full weeks of instruction but for the last two years the principal of Armstrong High School has arbitrarily deprived them of two or three weeks of that time by compelling the teachers under him to close the pupils' record this semester on January 13. My children are compelled to be present every day after that although their records are already in the hands of the principal. Furthermore, last year, a similar order from him closed their records more than two weeks before the end of the winter session in January. No allowance is made for pupils who could do two weeks' full work before the end of this month and perhaps put themselves in a position for promotion. I feel quite sure that the teachers themselves do not feel that the "official" order is just to the pupils under their instruction, but they dare not express themselves in opposition to this edict for fear of having their efficiency rating lowered. Would you kindly investigate the matter and offer your columns to help the parents who are anxious to have full instruction time given their children to prepare them for the hard struggle of life? Mrs. Susie Jefferson Sheriff Road, D.C. Howard University Has An Enrollment Of 1.608 Winter quarters registration completed last week at Howard University, according to statement released by the office of the Registrar, shows a continued increase of graduate students, with a slight diminution of students in the undergraduate and professional schools. There are now registered in the Graduate Division as candidates for the master's degree, 107 students as compared with forty-eight in the winter quarter of last year or only seven less than autumn quarter enrollment of 1831 which more than doubled that of the autumn of 1930, with 1,140 to 52. Complete figures of winter quarters registration by departments follows: Liberal Arts, 482; Education, 458; Applied Science, 57; Music, 43; Special Students (Music) 69; Medicine, 215; Dentistry, 47; Pharmacy, 31; Law, 55; Religion, 44; Graduate Division, 107; a total of 1,608. The total annual enrollment of 2,600 stuedents is accounted for by new entrants to replace withdrawals at the beginning of each quarter, together with summer session. THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15, 1932 DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL STATISTICS AND BUSINESS! Any person who would build an elaborate establishment wiring and installing the most luxurious and expensive electrical fixtures but without installing an electrical producing plant or connecting up with the service rendered in the community would certainly not enjoy the benefits or comforts that electricity would bring and to his friends he would be considered a little off-balanced mentally. And any business firm or merchant that fails to take advantages of service that energizes a live useful current in the form of pertinent and carefully compiled statistics is in the same position as the builder illustrated above. Statistics may be dull and dry to the average business-man but so is electricity until a contact is made and you commence to use the force and then everything becomes bright and the wheels of industry go round and round. There are several organizations and agencies that are constantly preparing and sending out to their subscribers vital information on every conceivable subject which if digested and studied by the business man would enable him to keep so well informed on conditions that he could almost definitely anticipate a remedy for any situation. In addition to these private organizations there are many departments in our government, local state and federal, that our tax money maintains, which are constantly disseminating information SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT COMMUNISM AND THE NEGRO By A. Elizabeth Valentine What does Communism offer the Negro? Brotherhood? It is highly questionable that a nation whose history has been a history of barbarism, and bloodshed of its own countrymen could offer a refuge for the ills and oppressions of a race so alien to it as the Negro race. It is seldom true that an oppressed person, or people, having thrown off the burden of its oppressors turns again and renders to an equally oppressed person, or persons, the measure of charity and sympathy that the likeness of their situations would seem to warrant. Rather is the opposite true. Usually the most overbearing creditor is the creditor who has writhed under the torture of being a debtor. The most tight-fisted man of wealth, one who has known most brutal want and poverty. The most intolerant reformer, one who has been a great sinner. It is antiethetical to suppose that a people who not so long past horrified the world with the ruthless slaughter of the Jews among them, could hold out to the American Negro, about whom the greater number of Russians are totally ignorant, so unreservedly the hand of brotherly love. Man loves best that with which he is most familiar. Rather would it seem that this is a move of revenge to stir up trouble for a country that has refused recognition. The oppression of the American Negro is a flagrant disgrace upon the escutcheon of the United States. But he, the Negro, cannot reasonably look for aid to a country that is itself fighting with its back to the wall for a place in the sun. His only real hope is himself! It is he who must take the initial step towards his own liberation and equalization. It is probable that when he has taken this step other people will, from a sense of human justice, rise to assist him. But the burden is his and if he would be free he must accept it! It will not come through the guile of those who seize an opportunity to further their own plans by putting words into the mouths of ignorant, wronged, and baffled men standing on soap boxes on street corners. It will come only by the conscious and intelligent efforts of a people fully determined to command the respect of the world. Russia is 'herself passing thru a phase of development, and is by no means stabilized. Only time can tell whether her present project will stand or fall. True, Communism is a beautiful ideal, but it is doubtful if it can be realized by so primitive and complex a people. Much in her present regime is to be commended, much to be condemned. Let us not then be deflected from our task by following a will o' the wisp. It is insane for us to hope that anyone other than ourselves will fight our battles for us now. We have ceased to be wards and dependents of the other race, and have shown ourselves to some extent its committees. Every- that would be of untold value to the merchant and business-man and which would cost him only a two-cent stamp to secure. One of the most profitable contacts that I have made is with these information-dispensing agencies. A few of our own progressive concerns are constantly sending me pertinent data concerning their affairs and my name is on the releasing list of quite a few governmental agencies and the information I am constantly securing through this source leads me to believe that the majority of our business-men and merchants are not availing themselves of a most vital contact. When we learn to establish and maintain our enterprises on a foundation of cold but definite facts instead of on that over-worn "racial appeal" sentiment then we will be on the sure road to an economic success and prosperity. If this column, with this particular digest, can stimulate a spark of interest among our merchants and young commercial students, then the writer will feel that already in this new year he has contributed something tangible to Negro journalism. It is no part of this writer's purpose to appear as a press-agent for any particular agency but if the reader is interested in the thought expressed he will have no difficulty in locating many private organizations and governmental agencies who will be glad to cooperate by supplying needed and vital statistics to increase our business. Thoughtful Lines By AL PINCKNEY For one man who succeeds by wisdom, ten win by daring. Who knows what may change in a month, or what may happen to put out of reach what we could do today? ***** The man who is honestly convinced that he is better than his opponent is not easily put down in peaceful competition, and will risk his life in action with a gallantry and daring that command the admiration of all brave men. In question of medicine women ***** are divided into two great classes, those who will consult any doctor and try anything, and those who only ask the doctor's opinion when they are forced to, and who generally do precisely the opposite of what he suggests. A man is foolish who takes an important step without consulting the woman who loves him most dearly, but he is rarely wise if he follows her advice, like a rule, to the letter, for seldom a woman goes from thought to accomplishment by the same road as a man. Whatever keeps a man in the front garden, whatever checks wandering fancy and all inordinate ambition, whatever makes for lounging and contentment,—makes just so surely for domestic happiness. **** It is a mistake to suppose that Christianity began only eighteen hundred years ago. It began nearly six thousand years ago: it was preached amid the wrecks of Eden. Mere lip prayers get you nowhere. It doesn't matter what your lips may say. The thing that counts is what your heart desires, what your mind images on your subconscious thought. The highest form of knowledge is reason. Pure reason takes all into consideration. It enables a person to adjust himself to the factors of a world environment. The individual must be trained, and train himself to keep his eye upon and think of the gains which result from overcoming obstacles. Action underlies learning. Action, therefore, leads to learning, achieving, progressing. WEEK-END MOSAICS BY ALGERNON B. JACKSON, M.D. (For The ASSOCIATED Negro Press) MICE AND MEN It does an individual no good—and no particular harm either apten generations of heard drinking ancestors who could "hold their liquor." At least, this is the case if what is true of mice is true also of men. Results of researches on the grandchildren of ten generations of chronically alcoholic rats, conducted at Washington University in St. Louis by Professor Frank thing in life has its price tag. If we would be equal we must pay for it by fighting for, and protecting our own interests. We must not be dupes in the hands of shrewd statemen. B.

It was all right to send an expeditionary force into Mexico to chase a few bandits who insulted us; it was reasonable to keep a standing army for years in Haiti to see that a little overdue bankers note were collected; it was not unusual to send marines into Nicaragua to "keep the peace there;" it's only fair to deny the Philippne Islanders the right to rule themselves, but it is altogether absurd for Japan to try the same thing in China. Funny thing is American justice. Eh, what?

He talketh loud and well and sayeth strong language, but so far his actions have not tallied therewith. Law abiding citizens want to feel safe and their children protected. May we expect this should the governor of Maryland get to be President? May we depend upon him to protect our homes and lives—at home and abroad? Calvin Coolidge was found and made president by his daring courage in dealing with the Boston police strike. People wanted to feel that they were getting a man amply able to deal with serious situations in a positive and manly way. True he did nothing after election, but he won the nomination by his outspoken manner in handling that one affair. Ritchie had the same chance. He muffed it, and it's possible that this will handicap him in getting that coveted place. It is still time and the occasion still remains. Will he dare do it? Will he bring to justice those mob leaders. May be so. I even hope so—but I'll have to see. Leadership and the Fourth Leadership and the Fourth One of the saddest things about the Baltimore political parties among our group is the lack of them. We might as well get this younger material they have in straight. The younger Negro is not going to trail around after these Mc-Too- Hat-Hand leaders of the past who have been selling one another and their children's chances for a few hundred dollars a year. They are going to overthrow every attempt at that kind of a game this go round, if they have to expose the entire system to do it. The same old leaders! The same old handkerchief doctrines! The same old $2.00 a vote method! Well, if they didn't learn a lesson in last election they never will, for in that every prophecy was proven false and every tradition broken. It's time some real, sincere leader come to the front and organize the younger folks, show them how to ballot and encourage them to use that ballot intelligently. No hypocrite need not undertake this. These youngsters will know him by his ring, and most of them are known by their reputation. If in the fourth, th. Negroes wish to keep anything like a semblance of power, the leaders thereof had better not only get busy bu get honest, and there are few days left to get either. Wise Cracks Strange that the citizens would spend $75 in advertising a meeting to endorse the N.A.A.C.P. and will not spend one dollar a year to join the organization. Strange that these leaders will give a "testimonial" to officers of an organization and not allow a single one of them to speak on the organization! Strange indeed was it that all politicians at this particular time should get active in holding a meeting. Funny that they happened upon a man who is running for the nomination for president. Very strange indeed! better "heads" for liquor than have other rats whose ancestors have been rodents of strictest probity and sobriety. The experimenters tested their animals in groups of ten, five being descendants of rats which for ten generations had been made drunk very frequently by subjecting them to fumes of evaporated alcohol, and five of the descendants of ancestors that had never known the drug. They caged the whole ten in a tight box with a plat: glass front, soaked the air with alcohol fumes, and timed the animals as they became intoxicated and keeled over. They repeated the experiments on successive days, to see how fast the rats built up a resistance to the dizzying vapors. They used six different groups of ten rats, each of the same weight and sex. When they came to check up their results, they found that the descendants of the drunken rats BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL JULIUS ROSENWALD Julius Rosenwald went to heaven Wednesday, January 6, at 2:55 p.m. He was at the head of the International Order of the Helpers of Men. As he left he passed his blazing torch of world service to his children and bade them continue to carry it forward to Jews and gentiles in every nation and in every race under heaven. What a rich heritage for those children! A marvelous and matchless humanitarian has gone, but didn't his light shine while he was with us? Didn't he carry on for God? He lighted, lifted and led in the service of humanity. Heolved his fellowman and he showed it in a practical and definite plan of co-operation. He worked with them. He knew the burdened ones and got under the load and showed them how to carry as much of it as they could. He was too sensible to carry the entire burden for them. He carried it with them so that they could learn to carry it without him. He did not help men to become helpless. He taught men how to work together and how to walk together in the path of human betterment. He walked by their side and gave them the smile of a real brother as he journeyed with them under the load. His humanitarian spirit pervades the world today as the woman's cointment pervaded the room in which the Master sat. The Master was touched by her unprecedented sacrificial gift and declared that her deed should be her memorial. The great humanitarian made a beaten path to the hearts of men and built his own monument of love therein. A helping hand for those who are willing to help themselves, a school house in every hamlet, an open door of Christian association in every city are the great spiritual and moral ideals for which he lived and labored. What Julius Rosenwald has done throughout the whole world shall also be told as a memorial of him wherever the gospel of social welfare is preached. He built his own monument. His benefactions cannot be enumerated or estimated. Figures cannot tell what he did. No man can number them. They are the leaven in the lump. You who want to know how much he did to help this old world—to lift it up and light it up, will have to wait until Judgment Day. His gifts will be lined up there. "They will come out of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues and will stand before the Throne clothed in white robes and palms in their hands." The great Keeper of Man's Records shall say to this servant of His who went about doing good, "I was hungry and ye gave Me meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger and ye took Me in; naked and ye clothed Me; I was sick and ye visited Me. In as much as ye did it unto the least of these ye did it unto Me. Well done." What a day of rejoicing that will be! The major objectives to which Julius Rosenwald dedicated princely gifts should become the major objectives of the Negro race. They would be the only monument which he would desire. What were these objectives? First, self-help; secondly, a school house in every hamlet of the south; third, an open door for Christian association in every city. If we really appreciate what he has done for us, we will take up where he left off and carry on. That is the kind of memorial which Julius Rosenwald the prince of humanitarians would like to have us build. SILVER AND GOLD By Rosetta Roberson What do I care for silver or gold If Jesus Christ will save my soul Silver makes you wicked had no better resistance to alcohol when they first encountered it than had the offspring of the sober ancestry, and that there was no significant difference, either in the rate at which the two groups built up their resistance on subsequent enforced sprees. It is fact, if anything, the sober-ancestored group built up resistance a shade faster than did their companions, but the experimenters do not feel that the difference was great enough to justify any definite conclusion. The most significant fact about the experiment, in their opinion, is that the negative results they obtained constitute another case in which a character or ability acquired by the parents was not inherited by their offspring—a point which has long been a subject of perennial dispute among students of evolution. Live To Be Young At Fifty By Drusilla Dunjee Houston' (The Associated Negro Press) Thousands are planning to go back to the land because conditions will not grow better in the cities but worse. Stores of long standing are passing into the hands of receivers, others at the wall are selling goods at one-fourth the cost price: Only the return of large numbers to rural districts will balance things again for prosperity. For four or five years we verge upon the collapse of civilization; then we will turn the corner for better things. This is a great nation, her forceful characters have only to awaken and work as the President now is working and planning. Many wonder why the foundations of even the most righteous seem falling. It is because we are not upon stable foundations. In the critical changes ahead we must change our base. People in this country must realize that the threat of the Communist is not idle threat. Buy in more safe environments. Outside the cities taxes are low, fashion cannot dictate there that you live on the scale of rich folk. People who settle these districts can decide all such matters sanely. In all this silk dress parade, we have ruined the farmer. His living came from cotton. We stopped wearing it. It was his ruin and it seems that when the farmer falls the rest of us feel the effects of it in our nocketsbooks. It was for this reason that our governor made his trip to California niated in cotton from head to foot. He was trying to swing things back to sanity. It heartens true leadership to see so many of our families who are well-off dressing simply. They are members of a race that is poor and they do not want to set the example of extravagance. They have laid away in a period of suffering, the jewelry that dazzles and the rich clothes and with the greater spirit of charity walk among people of moderate circumstances, regardful of their feelings, remembering that one of us is not better than another. Plain men look upon such men and women as their true friends. Thank God for our teachers who are setting our boys and girls this example. Stresses Economy Why do we stress these points? There is no way out for any of us without economy. There are too many suffering for us to faint riches and luxury in the faces of the poor. Out at the end of some car line is the solution of the average man's pressing needs. There he can surround himself with a large measure of family support. With chickens, a garden, fruit vines a calf and pigs he can laugh at undernourishment. You say: "am working I could not care for these things." You can build a little room for them and you will get health and happiness out of such work. This man can train your children a love for the real growing things. When you decide to go persuade a few friends, people of character and principle, to go too. The racketeer game has extended itself outlying districts. A group who are watchful and faithful to one another's interests can easily be free from marauders. Be careful with whom you deal in buying the new home. I went once to talk with a building loan group about the erection of an administration building. They had been recommended by a colored lawyer. I reached the office and found four men standing in whispering conference. They had written all over them, plottert thugs. I felt sure that I had gotten into the wrong room but they told me that they composed the official board of the building loan Sharks 'organize often into business groups. Suggests Frugality Many of you have gotten into hopeless, entanglements with some such company, rendered immune from prosecution by sharp figuring. If you are so cornered, trade what you have for land outside the city. Again I have noticed that the hardest money lenders have mercy and sympathy for people who are self-sacrificing and who do all in their power to meet their obligations. One such man said "No, I will not foreclose on that widow for she does everything in her power to keep her payments up and though she is far behind, I shall wait upon her." On the other hand when they find that men and women are wasting money in entertaining, fine apparel, and car riding, they come right down on them without any mercy and take their homes. And what are we gaining by the faster pace? Gray hairs, rupture of vital organs not from service but through dissipation. I know a young man who could not get work. When he had a dollar it went into that which wrecked his strength. At forty he had the ruined, feeble looks of an old man. Who would have not been losing money to have hired him? Such men unfairly blame their failure upon others. Men will flash out of life from over-ambition. At fifty they are gone. In the city you hear men speak of being old at fifty. Shame upon them, they ought to be in their prime. At fifty, if one has lived right the best service of his life is ahead of him, not behind. To men who clung to wine, women, and other vices of it, "great while way" everything is behind them, life casts them into the discard. Who can say that is unfair? MORE UNDERTAKERS THAN NEGRO POLICEMEN IN WASHINGTON BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL THEATERS SPORTS UNDERTAKERS MORE NUMEROUS THAN POLICEMEN There Is An Undertaker for Each 2,000 People Living Here Admitting that our local morticians taken as a whole are fine fellows (especially when collections are good) the fact remains that the population of colored undertakers has long since reached the saturation point in this beautiful city even though our racial group which constitutes only about 27 per cent of the total population furnishes from thirty-five to forty-five percent of the total deaths each week. We have more colored undertakers than policemen. They are more numerous than our bookkeepers and cashiers; about equal in number to our real estate agents and only a few less than our affluent dentists. The records show that we have one undertaker for each 2,000 colored inhabitants of all ages, as compared with one white undertaker for each group of 3,247 white inhabitants, or a difference of nearly 1,250 persons in favor of the white undertaker. This difference according to the "You street Philosophers" should be a warning to the "Uster the Sod Fraternity" that it is time for some of them to migrate to Delaware, West Virginia, Georgia, or elsewhere where the per capita colored population per motticion is larger, and the competition is less heart breaking. Based upon the number of those engaged in this profession and the number of deaths during the past year, each undertaker was entitled to a quota of forty-five funerals, or to only on about every eight days. But of course, there was no such distribution of the business and never will be. In this as in other business enterprises it is largely a matter of satisfying people, who pay or promise to pay the bill, through the ability of your organization to deliver the goods. Investigation shows that the deduced mortician who depends upon his fraternal or religious affiliations rather than upon the efficiency or completeness of his Service, is not likely to make the grade. And it is largely, if not entirely, due to this fact that fully eighty-five per cent of this business finds its way into the splendid funeral homes of seven or eight of our most progressive morticians whose shop is Service. With nearly three thousand colored funerals per year, this city is very attractive to the solemn looking undertakers, most of whom are not as solemn as they look, if one can believe You Street whispers. But that is another story, and has nothing to do with the fact that there are about 197,000 colored deaths per year outside of Washington, many of them in communities fully as inviting from a business point.

BRUTAL POLICE MADE BOYS STAND ON THEIR TOES Two Cops on Trial For Beating Boys With Stick and Black Jack Relating a tale of horror in which seven small boys were beaten with a stick and black jack at the old Second Precinct, Sylvester Gordon, 17-year-old youth, outlined to a jury in District Supreme Court, Wednesday morning, how Policemen Charles H. Bremerman and Hollis L. Clark made the boys stand on their toes with arms stretched in the air and beat them with a white oak stick and black-jack. The two cops are on trial before Justice F. Dickerson Letts in Criminal Division 1, on brutality charges. The case started early this week and will hardly reach the jury until the latter part of the week. Assistant United States Attorney John R. Fitzpatrick, is representing the government, while Attorney James A. O'Shea represents the two policemen. Gordon told the jury that he and several other youths were standing on the corner of Third and K streets, northwest, the night of June 25, when the two cops came up in an automobile and took them to the precinct. On reaching No. 2 they were placed in a locker room and made to stand against the wall on their toes. Beaten With Sticks Bremerman took a stick from the window and made the boys stand on their toes while Clark questioned them in regards to several robberies that had been perpetrated in the neighborhood. When they became tired of this cruel punishment and attempted to lower their arms or feet to the floor Bremermen would beat the boys about the arms, legs and head with the stick. The boys were arrested on a Thursday, and this inhuman treatment was applied to the boys until Friday. All were taken to Police Headquarters, where they were photographed and fingerprinted. Gordon told the jury that Clark struck one of the boys on the head with a blackjack and cut the scalp. Some dozen witnesses are to be heard for the Government. Thomas M. Williams, another youth, testified, Monday, and related the same story of brutality and the horrible ordeal the police made them go through. Other boys to take the stand against the accused policemen are Augustus Brown, Rufus Carter, Rudolph Tucker, Joseph Brown, and Wilbur Robinson. Eight policemen have stood trial on brutality charges; four have been acquitted and four convicted. The two on trial this week are big, burley fellows with bad reputations in the neighborhood.

Chamlee v Park Avenue, New York City, on SCHUYLER SCORES OLD METHOD OF BUSINESS HERE Launches Movement to Start Co-operative League In District Launching an attack on the old style business methods, George S. Schuyler, author and world traveler, outlined to an audience at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School, Monday evening, a plan to make The Young Negroes Co-operative League, composed of the working class, one of the most powerful financial organizations in the country. In his address Mr. Schuyler predicted the downfall of the Colored Merchants-Association which has established stores in several of the principal cities of the country. He said this organization will not be able to compete with the more powerful chains now in operation. Mr. Schuyler said there are over sixty million persons members of co-operative societies in different parts of the world. He outlined a plan similar to ones now in operation in Europe where the working class plays a large part in the business and finance of those countries He said the present wave of depression is merely a forerunner of what is to come and predicted that five to ten millions will be out of work in this country at all times. He stated that by 1950, 160 millions will be members of the unemployed army whose ranks are being constantly swelled. "Unfortunately," said Mr. Schuyler, "the Negro will form the larger part of this vast army. He will be the last hired and the first to be fired." The speaker said that at one time the services of the Negro were indispensible to certain industries and crops of the south, but the Negro's services are now dispensible with the coming of the machine age and the willingness of white men to do work they once frowned on. The Young Negroes' Co-operative League will be composed of buyers who pool their resources and make all purchases through its own organization. In European countries such workers have their own banks, industries and warehouses where articles are bought at cost. He said the present system of business was for profit only while the co-operative league will be for service to members. Louis J. W. H. Carter of ceremonies and heads the District branch of the league. He introduced James A. Jackson, of the Commerce Department, who presented Mr. Schuyler. The next meeting will be held here at Garnet-Patterson School on January 14. Congressman Oscar DePriest was an interested listener to the address. --- SAVE THE SCOTTSBORO BOYS! actims of Alabama lynch law after they were charged they were raped.

This is Mr. Daly's first novel and already it has caused a bit of furore among literary critics. "Not Only War" is centered around a southern white youth, a Negro youth, an American colored girl and a French girl; this group gives the author a large latitude A. E. VICTOR DALY, author of "Not Only War" a story of love and war. in which to play up the sordidness of the ingrown prejudice of the Southern white man, the inconsistency of his reasoning; the futility of the mixing of whites and blacks, a pitiful condition which is the outcome of the mixed school systems of the North, where a few Negroes in mixing with a few white companions find themselves up a blind alley in after life—vainly reaching for the elusive altruism of mankind which they imagined they had found in college; and the Bible-like attitude of the hero—a colored youth who attempts to rescue a Southern army officer who a few days previously had insulted him, had him court-martialed and demoted, finally dying with him, the story concluding, "They found them the next morning, face downward, their arms about each other, side by side." Interestingly Told It's noble — but not life-like enough to be dealing with a modern Negro—one not of the "Uncle Tom" type. The story is cleverly told, and one finds himself held to the end, hold by the beauty of the telling, and by the newness of the theme. Too, the writer leaves plenty to the reader's imagination. It makes one think. The title may lead many, who are war-weary, to the conclusion not to read. The brief sketch of a battle is so graphic one is led to believe that Mr. Daly, who served in France, has told what he actually saw. Tired of war stories —I am glad I read this story. This is the first time I have read in fiction anything lauding the fight- ing of the Negro soldier. Served Over Sea The author is an alumnus of Cornell University. At the outbreak of the war, he left college and enlisted in the Training Camp for colored officers at Fort Des Moines, Iowa. In October of the same year, he was commissioned a first lieutenant and assigned to the 367th Infantry at Camp Upton, N.Y. 92nd Division. In due time he went to France and remained abroad about a year, saw active service in the Vosges Sector, the Argonne and finally wound up about ten kilometers from Metz on the morning of the Armistice. He was later made Adjutant of the 1st Battalion of the 367th Infantry. In discussing the book with Mr. Daly, he said: "I did not want to make a noise I try to fill the book with propaganda. I have been criticized for not castigating the War Department, the Army officials, the mud, the slime and the German bullets. "All of this has been done before." Why He Wrote It When I asked him "Why did you (Continued on page 15) SECOND SECTION LT. EPPS INSTALLED EXALTED RULER OF COLUMBIA LODGE By C. A.
