LEE JURY RETURNS GUILTY VERDICT IN HALF HOUR
Defense to File for New Trial; Jury Gives First Degree Verdict
By LeRoy A. Clay
TOWSON, Md.-After being out only thirty-two minutes, the jury in the Euel Lee, alias "Orphan" Jones case, tried at the Baltimore county court house at Towson, returned a degree of murder in the first degree, Wednesday. The jury left the court room at 2:46 and returned at 3:18 p.m.
At the request of Mr. Levinson, chief counsel for the defense, the members of the jury returned their verdicts individually as their names were called.
Before the verdict had been given, Mr. Levinson informed the court that the defense would file for a new trial and asked permission to speak to the court at the side bar in company ywish the prosecution. This request was granted and the defense gave notice to the court that it intended to file for a new trial.
Judge Offent then stated that the court would expect the defense to file either Friday or Saturday, and this was agreed to by both counsels.
Lee, or Jones, as he was called throughout the trial, was on trial only for the murder of Green K. Davis, although he had been indicted on four separate charges of murder of each of the family of four, and a blanket charge covering the entire family.
39 Persons Rejected
The jury was finally selected after thirty-nine names had been submitted and possible candidates for the panel had been examined.

"Present Depression No Leg
Penalty on Color," Sa
By Thomas L. Dabney
Chairman Salary Committee, Buckingham County (Va.) Teachers'
The present industrial depression has taught us many lessons. It serves to emphasize our utter helplessness as a race in matters of economic and financial defense. A race top-heavy with organizations, the depression finds us totally unprepared to cope with the problems precipitated and aggravated by it. We lack not only organizations to promote our economic and financial interests, but we lack statesmanlike and courageous leaders. It is time that we develop them in the ranks.
We should not be satisfied with merely white-collar jobs. We also should love learning, but we must also value money. Under the capitalist economy your well-being depends on money and not learning per se. Your grocer, doctor, landlord and the like do not sell their products and wares according to the color of their customers but according to the general market price of such articles. And the market price is determined by economic principles. You know full well, however, that your salary is determined by color! It is manifestly unjust to have to buy according to economics while earning money ac-
FUNERAL SERVICE FOR WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY HELD
Autopsy Reveals that Death Was Due to Natural Causes
The sudden death of Charles E. Robinson, prominent attorney and high Elk official, caused his family to suspect foul play and had an autopsy performed on his body at the District Morgue, Monday.
Attorney Robinson was taken ill in front of his office on F street, Saturday, and died soon after reaching Emergency Hospital, where he was carried by friends. According to Dr. C. J. Murphy, of the District Morgue, death was due to natural causes, and attributed to high blood pressure.
Funeral rites were held, Wednesday, from St. Luke Episcopal Church, of which Mr. Robinson was a member. The Rev. Thomas Brown affiliated.
Attorney Robinson was born in Washington in 1889, and attended the graded schools of Giddings and Bell. He graduated with honors from Armstrong High School, and was awarded a scholarship to Howard University. He completed Howard Law School in 1916, and immediately began the practice of law in the District. He was president of the local Bar Association, and last year was elected regional director of the National Bar Association. He also was leading knight of Columbia Lodge of Elks. Mr. Robinson was a member of the Oldest Inhabitants Association, and at one time a member of the Masons and Odd Fellows.
A service was held at his late residence, 1520 T street, northwest. Tuesday evening by members of th Elks.
Mr. Robinson is survived by his widow, Mrs. Lula Howard Robinson; mother and step-father, Rev and Mrs. E. E. Ricks, of Newark, N.J.; a sister, Mrs. Helen Fletcher, of Newark; and two brothers, Temple S. and Peter Milton Robinson, of Washinton.
cording to color!
Times are indeed critical when state governments sanction economic discriminations against their citizens. We have a perfect right to expect justice and fair play from our state government. It seems incredible that even a state government in the South should endorse a greater financial discrimination between its Negro and white employees than southern private business does.
The present depression is no legitimate excuse for a financial penalty on color. We admit that state treasuries are in a poor financial condition, but this is no point for further impoverishing Negro teachers so long as white teachers receive all the way from 30 per cent to 100 per cent more salary than Negro teachers doing the same grade of work. No Virginia white or colored, who lays claim to intelligence and liberality would dar. attempt a defense of the wretchedly low salary paid to the average Virginia Negro teacher. You should not become discouraged by this temporary set-back. We must stand together until our cause is won. The must be no division between rural and urban teachers merely because the latter (Continued because

Accident Cuts Off Power at Radio Station In Virginia
One man was fatally injured, three others seriously hurt, and the power line of a nearby radio station cut off, Sunday night, when a car crashed into a telephone pole on the Richmond highway at Ingleside, four miles south of Alexandria. The crash cut off the power supply of Station WJSV, forcing that station off the air for the remainder of the night. Howard Catum, driver of the machine, died at Fort Humphrey's Hospiital, where he was taken after the accident. Champion Coleman, 32, of 322 Twenty-second street, northwest; Robert Dodson, and Mooney Burns, who, with Catum are said to reside at Arlington County, Va., were seriously injured.
Catum is said to have lost control of his car, which swerved and crashed into the pole. The post supported the power lines of the broadcast station at Mount Vernon Hills, Va., which was sending forth a program by remote control. The station went dead at 9:25, but the lines were repaired in time for the next day's broadcast.

ONE KILLED AS OFFICERS RAID "HEADQUARTERS"
Police Have List of Those Who Purchased Stolen Dresses Here Society of Washington was thrown into a panic this week following the fatal shooting of one man and the arrest of four others in a raid by police on a house which is said to be the headquarters of a "hot dress" ring in the District.
Police discovered hundreds of fine dresses stolen from shops downtown and on Fourteenth street. Police say all of the men admitted entering several stores recently and stealing dresses and fine ladies' wear.
Leader Shot
James Henderson, alleged leader of the ring, was killed by Officer William McEuen, of No. 3 Precinct, Thursday night, when Henderson attempted to escape. Following an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday morning, Officer McEuen was exonerated by a Coroner's Jury. The verdict stated Henderson was shot by Officer McEuen in line of duty.
The other men arrested and held on a charge of burglary are Erick Van Horn, 922 Twenty-sixth street; Philip Davis, 2222 Twelfth place; Ralph William Coleman, 942 Twenty-sixth street; Ambry Lacey and a taxicab driver.
Police Hunt Dresses
According to police the men sold the dresses all over Washington and officers are now engaged in rounding up the stolen goods. Two o fthe dresses were siad to have been sold at 302 T street, and other sections of Washington.
Taking the stand in his own behalf, Officer McEuen said he and Officers R. McNeal and Robert J. Maghan, all of the Third Precinct, received a tip that Apartment 22, 942 Twenty-sixth street, was used to store stolen dresses. The officers said they went to the apartment and were admitted by Coleman. They found some sixty dresses with tags lying about the place. Henderson was on a couch in the living room. While the men were being prepared to be taken to the precinct, Henderson in stooping over to tie his shoes made a break for liberty. He ran on a balcony and leaped to the ground. Officer McEuen said he called to the fleeing man several times to stop and when he failed he fired two shots at his legs.
Third Shot Fatal
The man kept running. The third shot was fired at his body. Henderson fell with a bullet, but managed to crawl several feet and was found under a truck on a vacant lot. He was assisted to the street and taken to Emergency Hospital. The man died several hours later following an emergency operation. Captain Edward J. Kelly, of No 3 Precinct, who investigated the shooting read a section of the Police Manuel where an officer is justified in shooting where a felony has been committed.

FIREMEN INJURED
DURING BLAZE
Lieutenant Holmes and Two
Privates Overcome
By Smoke
Lieut. R. J. Holmes and three rivates of the No: 4 Engine Company were injured, Saturday, in a fire at the Bureau of Agriculture Economics of the Department of Agriculture at 300 Linworth place, northwest. Lieut. Holmes received several cuts on the hand by glass and was taken to Emergency Hospital for treatment, and later removed to his home, 906 O street, northwest.
Privates J. M. Stevenson, John Rouse and J. M. Carter were overcome with smoke while working in the building. Eleven other firemen were also affected by smoke.
The blaze, believed to have been started by spontaneous combustion or pipes that leq from the furnace, directly under the first floor, lasted nearly twelve hours. The fire was confined to the first floor, and it was estimated that fifteen thousand pounds of raw cotton was destroyed. Except for a flooded cellar very little damage was done to the building.
Jury Frees Cop Who Killed Man Fleeing Arrest

SUPREME COURT KILLS DEPRIEST DISTRICT IN CHI
SUPREME COURT KILLS DEPRIEST DISTRICT IN CHI
Anderson and DePriest Must Fight it Out in the Same Old District
CHICAGO—(ANP) Oscar DePriest, Congressman from the first Illinois district, and Louis Anderson, second ward Alderman, will fight out their battle for the seat in Congress which DePriest now holds within the confines of the old First district, according to a decision handed down by the State Supreme court Wednesday morning.
The Supreme court held the recent reapportionment of Illinois to be illegal because of the glaring inequalities of some of the districts.
The old First district, the lines of which will be adhered to in the coming campaign, had a population in 1920 of 167,000. In terms of the new ward lines now prevailing in the city it includes all of the First ward, all of the Second ward, and small parts of the Fourth, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards. The First ward is largely white, the sections in the Fourth, Eleventh and Thirteenth wards are also white precincts. The bulk of the Negro vote is in the Second ward in which Mr. Andersow is alderman.
Mr. DePriest's residence is not in the district sustained by the Supreme court decision. He lives in the Third ward of which he is committeeman. He if chooses to run for re-election to that post, he probably will continue to live where he is as the law does not require a congressman to live in his district.
In both past elections, Mr. DePriest has won by narrow margins from a white opponent. The recent change in the city administration from Republican to Democratic has caused a large number of Negroes to turn Democratic. There are, as a result, increased possibilities for a Democratic candidate for Congress, but it is too early to predict that one would win.
In the fight between Mr. DePriest and Mr. Anderson, the odds seem less in favor of Mr. DePriest than formerly. Their fight will be for a division of the Negro vote and most of it is in the ward which Mr. Anderson now represents as alderman and committeeman, although a part of the present Second ward formerly belonged to the Third ward of which Mr. DePriest is committeeman.
NATIONAL BENEFIT CASE UP MONDAY
Hearings on the appointment of a permanent receiver for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was postponed by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue in Equity Court this week until Monday. The case was postponed when the court was told that Colonel Easby Smith, attorney for Chas B. Lee, former officer of the company, was too ill to be present. S. W. Rutherford, former president of the company, John Risher, present head, and John R. Pinkett, who is asking for a permanent receiver, were present in court.

O
Raleigh, N.C.—ERNEST CHERING, 22-year-old youth won a 60 day respite from the electric chain in North Carolina after a personal visit to his cell by Governor O. Max Gardner. The youth's case will be further investigated.
YOUTH NABBED IN BELLHOP RACKET
A clever employment "racket" was brought to light and the operator, a 20-year-old youth, given a sixty-day term in jail here. Saturday. The youth, George Gaynor, was sentenced by Judge Gus A. Schuldt in Police Court, after being arraigned on two charges of larceny after trust. Gaynor's method was to induce boys to give him sums of money whereby he would promise to secure for them jobs as bellhops in one of the leading hotels. The money was supposed to be used for the payment of uniforms. Everything went all right until Gaynor met George C. Berry, of Manassas, Va., who "solved" his racket and held Gaynor until lpolice arrived. Before the youth met Berry he had successfully duped John Rohrbach, white, of nearby Virginia, of $6, and Thomas Evans, 1214 Twelfth street, northwest, of $12.
STUDENTS GO ON HUNGER STRIKE FOLLOWING BAN ON DANCING
Irate Collegiates at Knoxville Toss Food About Table and Pour Water and Vinegar in Bowls to Register Protests
KNOXVILLE. Tenn.→The most disturbing situation that has ever confronted the administration at Knoxville College has arisen during the past week following the decision of the faculty to mete out punishment to several girls who engaged in dancing during their recent visit to a home in the city.
The protests of what the students term as unjust and unfair come from the boarding pupils of the institution. For several days last week only thirty of the students attended the dining hall for meals.
Their objection was registered in the form of tossing the food about the tables and pouring water and vinegar into the bowls.
While a majority have attended the chapel exercises, only the faculty members and a few of the "uncle tom" student-engage in the singing, according to one of the students. Dr. Ernest Hall visited chapel on Monday morning and only due to his presence and out of respect to him was the plan to walk out in the midst of the chapel services deferred to another day Rev. A. H. George was the chapel visitor on Tuesday and while the

DR. JOHN HAWKINS AT FIRST DENIES RUMOR OF CHANGE
Appointment of Hope Will Not Effect Cassell As Architect
Rumor that Albert I. Cassell, Howard University architect, had been surplanted at the university by John Hope, Jr., son of Dr. John Hope, former president of Morehouse University, could not be verified by the Tribune today as President Mordeal Johnson was out of the city. Dr. John R. Hawkins, a trustee, refused to comment on the matter and Mr. Cassell said he had not been notified by the president of the trustees that he had been succeeded by Mr. Hope as Superintendent of Grounds and Buildings.
Dr. Hawking at first denied such a change at the university and later said all information should come from the president. He said, however that if such a change had taken place he would know it.
Mr. Cassell said at present he was university architect and superintendent of buildings. He said it is possible that Mr. Hope may be made superintendent of buildings, but he (Mr. Cassell) will remain as university architect as the latter position is an appointment by the government.
He said his contract is renewed by the government every year in the month of July. Howard University trustees have not the power to change his salary or status as architect.
Mr. Cassell has been in his present position for a period of twelve years and is considered one of the foremost architects in the country. He has designed many of the outstanding buildings here and in other cities, including the new girls dormitory at the university. The Superintendent of Buildings is in the form of a maintenance position and has to do with buildings already erected. Mr. Cassell will still have charge of erection and designing of new structures, in the event of his being releved of the position of superintendent.
Elect Officers for Fair
COLUMBIA, C.C., (ANP)—The Rev. T. M. Bovkin, pastor of Union Baptist Church, was elected president of the Richland County Fair
Their objection was registered in the form of toasting the food about the tables and pouring water and vinegar into the boilis. While a majority have attended the chapel exercises, only the faculty members and a few of the "uncle tom" student+ engage in the singing, according to one of the students. Dr. Ernest Hall visited chapel on Monday morning and only due to his presence and out of respect to him was the plan to walk out in the midst of the chapel services deferred to another day. Rev. A. H. George was the chapel visitor on Tuesday and while the walk out was not staged, the students positively refused to take a part in the singing and other chapel exercises. The students declare that the ruling of the faculty and administration in this and many other matters effecting the rights, are unjust and unless there is a change they will quit the institution.

H. U. PROF. SPEAKS
AT. BALTIMORE
OPEN FORUM
It is obvious that trading with
Negro business will not solve the
unemployment situation among th.
race, because Negro business is
for the most part mercantile, and
‘the unemployment problem arises
from less production by the large
industries, according’ to Professor
Abraham Harris, who spoke before
the Baltimore Forum, Sunday, at
the Elk’s Hall. :
Dr. “Harris is professor” of eco-
nomics at Howaid University, and
‘8 noted scholar of economic prob-
lems of the Negro. ‘
He delivered & scholarly address
from’ manuscript, explaining the
causes of depression eras. It was
shown that the slump in business
‘was due to speculation in the stock
markets and- other contributing
agencies. 3
‘The speaker pointed the defects
of capitalism and the movements
to displace this system. He cited
the organizations whieh have tried
and are trying to overthrow cap-
italism and to protect the workers
in industry.
Organization of the Negro work-
er is «bsolutely essential to the
best interests of the group, he as-
serted. In concluding, Dr. Harris
gave six suggestions as possible
avenues of aid to the economic
problem facing the Negro,

“Let's pull it up,” said Duckie—_
So they pulled with all their

They pulled from east to west,
They pulled from left to right.
And after it was overturned
Guess what beneath they found—
Nothing but the bare old .carth—
Nothing but the ground.
So Duckie scratched her old gray

The Douglass High basketball team may not attain championship ranking this year, but the Monumental City boys will certainly make a good try for the honors. Douglass chalked up its third straight victory over conference opponents, Monday. Cardozo players filled the role of victim.
---
Coach Gibson has groomed his regulars, Dyson, Thomas, Wormly, and Barbour, until they work together with co-ordination. Each man knows every move his teammates are liable to make, and acts accordingly. Coach Clifford has not been quite so fortunate in settling upon one combination. Coach Clifford started off with his veteran combination, but they have not started to click. The final score was 35 to 20 in favor of Douglass.
---
Howard High team moved into the win column in the conference basketball race at the expense of Cardozo, 34 to 17. The Cardozo boys took the floor with a revamped line-up. Some of the regulars were in a traffic jam, and failed to reach the school in playing time. During the first half the teams played on even terms. The stars for Howard were Davis Benson and Laper. They collected 1, 4 and 3 goals, respectively While Wells, Tolson and Robinson were the stars for Cardozo.
---
Douglas defeated Dunbar, 27 to 16, in a spectacular scoring spree. Douglass's second conference victory may be attributed to the pinch-hitting of Dyson, Wormly and Barbour. Entering the game the first half they gave the Ducks the tonic they needed, and in the second half they gave that same tonic in such abundance that carried them to victory. The half ended, 17 to 12, in favor of Douglass.
Howard High travels to Washington, D.C., this week-end for a conference game with Dunbar. This court battle is expected to prove another of those thrilling affairs. A win for Howard would give them sole possession of second place. A Dunbar win would oust Howard from a second place tie with Armstrong, who has also lost one. Nothing could please Howard more than to humble Dunbar, and by the same token, nothing would be more pleasing to the Poets than to conquer Howard.

DUNBAR AWARDS LETTERS TO THEM
DUNBAR AWARDS LETTERS TO THEM
Next Year
In an effort to arrive at a more uniform interpretation of the rules a group of coaches and officials are meeting each week. Many points are clarified, especially that pertaining to the perturbing question of how to decide fouls in the pivot, dribble and block play. Officials are calling them close this year, and the coaches, players and fans are showing a more sportsmanlike attitude.
Dunbar Awards Football Letters
Twenty-three members of Dunbar High School squad, S.A.H.C. champions, were awarded football letters in general assembly by the faculty committee on athletics, in recognition of their services during the season of 1931. Sixteen of that number are seniors. At the football banquet Louis Thompson was elected captain for the coming season. Capt. E. Minns will graduate in June.
The Armstrong team has perked up considerably since the two-point defeat of Douglass. The team has hit upon some team work of late. Coach Westmoreland thinks the Generals have improved since the shift, but the improvement must reach its height if the last season's basketball champions are to figure in this year's hectic basketball race. Armstrong has defeated two strong athletic clubs this week—the Arrows, 34 to 30, and the Elks, 31 to 28.
An aggressive Dunbar basketball team upset the Arrow A.C., Monday, 22 to 20. The score was knotted twice, 17 all, and at 19 to 19, with both teams fighting desperately, close guarding was the order, when the regular playing session and the score was 19 all, During the extra session J. Yearwood was fouled. He made good one of the two freetrials. A foul gt 1 by Covington, of the Arrows, was matched. With the crowd in an uproar, Captain Gregory found an opening in the Arrows' defense and caged one from a difficult angle. Score 22 to 20, and the game ended a moment later.
St. Paul Wins and Loses, But Strayhorn Forgets to Send Score of Either Game
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — St. Paul lost her first association game here, Tuesday, to the Virginia State quintet. The Lawrenceville lads had a bad afternoon. Haskett, Tiger guard, capped honors by breaking the scoeleress first five minutes of play by sinking a field goal from center. The boys from Petersburg were barely able to score until the final half, when Scott, Pennington and Hall made the majority of the visitors' margin. Butler was the individual leader in the tallies for the losers, with nine points.
The line-up was as follows:
ST. AULU VIV. STATE
Butler R.F. Pennington
McNair L.F. Scott
Jones C. Hall
Haskett R.G. Bell
Jones L.G. Dreyer
Jones St. Paul - Benton for Alton, Alston for Benton, Benton for McNair, Caldwell for Jones.
LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The wrathful Tigers tasted the sweetness of revenge by turning the tables of defeat on the Big Blues of West Virginia. The trim Tiger basketeteers unleached a reserve strength an deunning to even up their C.I.A.A. counting. Benton, lanky St. Paul forward, was responsible for 12 of his team's 26 points. The Miners were bewildered by the Tiger attack, and were it not for Horton, center, the West Virginia boys would have found themselves in for a more severe trimming.
Members of the Tuskegee Institute football team have been celebrating birthdays since early in December. Five members of the team had birthdays in December, and four players claim January as their natal month.

UNION PANTHERS BOW TO MORGAN
BALTIMORE, Md.—Presenting a brilliant Morgan zone defense along with a smooth passing attack, Morgan College's veteran basketball array made its initial C.I.A.A. bow before the home fans in a fitting manner at the New Albert Auditorium Friday night by defeating the Union University Five, 47-16.
Taking the lead from the initial whistle, the maroon and steel cohorts for the first eight minutes loomed dangerous. But the Bears spurted during the next twelve minutes and combined a rapid attack with an unflagging aggressiveness which enabled them to enjoy a comfortable 28-8 lead at half time.
Most all of Union's baskets were made by a slow process, chiefly the free-try route, whatever play the Panthers would attempt to organize, Morgan would disorganize it with her strong and dependable zone defense. Conrad and C. Jones were the outstanding performers in the orange and blue cast. The former carried off high scoring honors with six field goals in addition to playing a beautiful all-around game. Stackhouse and Peters played a commendable game for the losers.

Hornets Chalk Up 34th Straight Court Victory
GERMANTOWN, Pa.—Joe Rainey's clan of singing "Hornets" snared their thirty-fourth victory in a row, last Friday night, when they downed the Ajax Circle, of Coattsville, Pa., at the Wissahickon Boys' Club, by the score of 24-6.
Mann, Penn, Campbell, Williams and Colbert started the fray for the champs, but the visitors made it so interesting for them that the regular quintet was rushed on the floor the latter part of the second quarter.
The Germantown Hornets are scheduled to play three games this week. On Thursday night they travel to Coattsville, Pa., where they tackle the Ajax Circle, whom they defeated last week in Germantown.
On Friday night the national champions will stack up against the St. Raphael Club (white) of Elmwood, Pa., whom they defeated earlier in the season.

2,000 SEE HOWARD DEFEAT HAMPTON
2,000 SEE HOWARD DEFEAT HAMPTON
Howard launched its basketball season Friday night by defeating Hampton 27 to 16 before two thousand spectators in the Howard University gymnasium.
It was the first game since the return of Coach John Burr, who was on Sabbatical leave last year for graduate work at Springfield College. With but three survivors of his 1930 C.I.A.A. champions in the person of Hall, Syphax and Taylor, Coach Burr in the opening game showed promise of producing another championship team.
Three freshmen have made the varsity squad with Bayton, the bespeckled center flashing such form as to win a permanent place in the line-up; Reid and Pinn also show themselves to be of real varsity material.
Hampton started the scoring with a free throw from the foul line by Captain Carter followed by Hunt's field goal. Howard quickly overcame the 3 to 0 lead with a sensational shot by Syphax and two points from the foul line by Hall thus forging ahead and leading for the remainder of the game. At half time the score was Howard, 12; Hampton, 9. In the second half, the thundering herd continued its rampage with the sea-siders fighting desperately, but in vain to overcome the Bison's dazzling pace. Syphax won high point honors with five field goals and two from the foul line for a total of 12 points. Hall followed with two goals and three fouls for a total of 7. Though scoring only one point in a toss from the marker Taylor played a brilliant game at guard. Scott, Hampton's guard, showed similar form.
Howard's victory was sweet revenge aga.nst Hampton and Union football victors in that Hampton defeated Union at Richmond last week 23 to 17.
ELKS-PLAINS TO MEET FOR TITLE
Washington's leading court teams, the Capital City Elks of the Morning Star Lodge No. 40, long regarded as city champions, and the Pleasant Plain quint, Community Center champions, will match baskets on the Garnet-Patterson floor tomorrow night (Saturday), at 8 o'clock, in the first game of a series to decide the local title claimants.
Fans have long awaited this struggle for court supremacy. Ever since 1929 when the Elks, then the Community Yellow Jackets, defeated the Plains in an overtime game for the championship of the "Y" loop, revenge has been seething in the veins of the Plains. The two quints failed to meet in competition last winter.
The Elks boast of a veteran combination, while the Plains have a young team which promises great things in the future. Such performers as "Soup" Turner, "Sam" Lacy, "Tommy" Jackson, "Jimmy" Lee, "Big" Hopkins and Herman Gibbons will be defending the honor of the Elks.
In the Plains' line-up will be "Jelly" Jackson, one of Washington's fastest court players, "Josh" Barnes, "Slow Motion" Jones, "Butter" Hill, "Johnny" Haywood, "Lefty" Armstead and Arthur Carter. In preparation for their Fredericksburg, Va. to encount a game the Plains will journey to the Bass A. C. of that city on Thursday night.

conduct on the part of teams and
penalties for the violations of
rules of eligibility.

human characterizations in. “Bad

GREENSBORO, N. C. SOCIAL CHAT
By Miss N. Constance Hill
During the week, social Greensboro was aroused from its slumbers following the gay Christmas season, for the city has been awhirl with one social event after the other. Among the big events of the week were:
A Formal Bridge and Dance
A formal bridge and dance honoring the Howard Alumni of C. and C., Greensboro and vicinity, given by Miss Eleanor Johnson, of this city, at Friendly Lake, on Friday evening. Miss Johnson was assisted by Mesdames Blanche Railord, Cleopatra Crutcher, Ruby E. Washington, and Miss Alma Powell.
The decorations were blue and white, Howard's colors. Progressive bridge was played until 10:30; at which time very delicious refreshments were servd in the rustic "rendezvous" downstairs. Following the intermission, dancing was the order of the evening until 2 o'clock in the morning.

rather an elaborate club meetings, for the room was beautifully decorated and the tantalizing strains of music, soft lights and the large group of visitors did seem a bit out of the ordinary, but she, like the rest, danced on in glee, until suddenly all the lights were turned off and candles placed at either end of the mantels over the big open fireplaces at either end of the room.
The music ceased and every sound was hushed. Then Miss Jones did begin to "look queries," but her curiosity was soon satisfied when Miss Anna Bell Hart gave the secret away. It was a real surprise to "Sallie," and those dimples and sparkling black eyes looked their best as she smilingly received the many beautiful gifts that her friends had brought to her.
The dance continued, and Mr Coles, one of the guests, crooned several popular airs.
Besides the popular young ladies of the Las Amigas Club there were present Mesdames Norwood, W J. Mears, H L. Trigg, Viola Brannie Miller, Grace Donnell Brower, Dazelle Foster Low, Doretha Enoch, Fannie Dennis, the Misses Rosa Lee Shelton, Thelma Reid, Sadie Morgan, Sylvia Payne, Matilda Blari, Annabelle Smith, Alma Morrow, Carolyn Law, E.

I.D.K. Club Entertains
Even though fifteen days of the New Year had passed, the I.D.K.'s held their first get-together of the year at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L.A. Nelson, with the Misses Thelma Reid and Rose Lee Shelton as hostesses.
As the clock struck seven-thirty, the guests and club members made their appearances. The hostesses' plans were just a little different from the regular routine. As a surprise to the club members the young men were invited in at 10:30 to enjoy dancing.
In the living room were five tables and for two hours the club members and guests for cards played bridge. Four hands were played, each consuming twenty minutes. Judging from speed in handling cards and the silence that permeated the room, it seems everyone was anxious to lead the list with her final score.
The hostesses found that Miss Lucille Dean held highest score for the club, and Mrs. Fannie Dennis highest score for the guests. Miss Blair came second for club prize, and Mrs. Holloman the booby. Miss Dean was given a lovely negligee, Miss Blair a box of bath salts packed in such a unique manner that one would think the same a cedar chest, but not large enough for a hope chest. The guest prize, an atomizers which gave evidence that City's Chyre was a favorite of the hostesses. The booby was a real man, made of valentines. Wonder did Esther like him?
Might add, the guests for the evening for cards, the Misses Claudia Butler, Felice Watson,
Christine Suggs, Blanche Taylor, Mrs. Clyde DeHuguley, Mrs. Harry Jefferson, Mrs. Maude Windsor, Mrs. Fannie Dennis, and Mrs. L. A. Nelson.
Ice cream and home-made coconut cake were served during the course of brigde. Real fun began at 10, when still others came and the music began. Punch was served throughout the evening, from the breakfast room. Two o'clock found the guests dancing to the tunes of Earl Hines, which proved that Miss Reid and Miss Shelton were wonderful hostesses.
Among the later guests were the Misses Angeline Stewart, Elmer Wright, Montros Garrett, Sallie Jones, Martha Cooke, Miriam Pride, Velma Bell, Bertha Minor, Marietta Mears, Olive Wallace, Mrs. Lincoln Garrett, Messrs. Jones, Cleses, Ed Jones, Ben Simpkins, Floyd Lee, Vance Chavis, George Willis, Harold Holmes, M. Claiborne, Bris Morris, Lee Nixon, Joe Pierce, James Price, James McNair, Wm.

By George A. Kuyper
HAMPTON, Va.—Dean Hewlett Johnson, dean of the Canterbury Cathedral, "the spiritual capital of the English speaking peoples," has just sent a letter to the fiel secretary of Hampton. Institute, stating that he would gladly welcome the Hampton Institute Quartette at the great Canterbury festival in the Cathedral in June 14 next.
Two years ago this quartette sang to a large congregation which packed the huge auditorium to hear the annual choir festival of eleven hundred voices.
Dean Johnson's invitation to repeat the visit of two years ago is ample proof of the effect by the singing of these four men.

Scientist Points Out Racial Peril To Whites
NEW ORLEANS—(ANP)—"If the white race does not watch out the 'money itch' with which it is inflicted is going to become a terrible Frankenstein which will destroy it in competition with the colored races of the world." Dr. S. J. Holmes, of the University of California, told delegates here to the convention of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, recently.
Dr. Holmes expressed the fear that whites, in their efforts to prepare more primitive peoples for the benefits of life which the whites wished to sell, might bolster these peoples up to the point where they would. become dissatisfied with their condition and rise up to challenge the whites.
"It is now financially profitable for the whites to encourage increases of the world's colored races, for these races help produce the white man's wealth and buy his goods," he declared, "but this policy may result in an intensified struggle for existence between the colored races and the whites.
"The tendency of industrial development to cause dominant peoples to be stamped out by the descendants of more primitive stocks who are utilized as laborers is one which every wisely governed people should consider not only to the increase of the white race, but it has aided the increase of its rivals.
"In the present period of the world's history the white race, after having spread over and exploited very, considerable portions of the earth's surface, and after having wrought unspeakable havoc as a result of its domination, has now come to minister to the welfare of its colored cohabitants, because it is finding them a valuable financial asset."

WISCONSIN ADOPTS FIRST AMERICAN JOB INSUR'CE LAW
WISCONSIN ADOPTS FIRST AMERICAN JOB INSUR'CE LAW
"The adoption of the first American unemployment compensation law by action of the special session of the Wisconsin legislature, which was convened recently by Governor Phil LaFolette, is an event of surpassing significance," declares the American Association for Labor Legislation in a special bulletin issued from its national headquarters in New York City today. "This pioneer enactment of an American plan for unemployment reserve funds with provision for limited benefits to be paid by industry under careful state supervision," declared John B. Andrews, the secretary of the Association, "is a new milestone in the long trail from indifference and humiliating charity, relief upward to a decent recognition of the continuing responsibilities of industry for those who through no fault of their own are temporarily unemployed."
The Wisconsin law, the announcement continues, follows a favorable report of the official investigating commission which was one of eight state bodies created in 1931 as a result of the introduction in 18 state legislatures of unemployment compensation bills based upon "An American Plan for Unemployment Reserve Funds," published by the Association one year ago. Other state commissions, it is stated, are still at work in California, Oregon, Ohio, Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, and the federal investigating committee announces it will favor national encouragement of state action for unemployment reserves by means of federal tax exemptions.
The Wisconsin law requires employers to pay into a state fund an amount equal first to 2 per cent of wages paid and then 1 per cent until there is available $75 for each eligible employee. From this fund in temporary periods of involuntary unemployment benefits will be paid at the rate of 50 per cent of weekly wages or ten dollars a week for not to exceed ten weeks. The law, which goes into effect on July 1, 1933, will be administered through the state Industrial Commission which operates the public employment offices.
Death Sentence Costs
Judge Nomination
To Federal Post
NEW YORK.—A savagely severe sentence of death imposed upon a Negro who had thrown himself upon the mercy of the court, cost Judge James Baldwin of Decatur, Illinois, the nomination to the Federal Judgeship for the Southern Illinois district, it was made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Judge Charles G. Briggle has just been appointed to the post by President Hoover.
The N.A.A.C.P. at once began quiet and intensive work on the nomination when it was revealed that Judge Baldwin had been recommended for the Federal judgeship.
The N.A.A.C.P. wired the Department of Justice requesting that the appointment be held up pending completion of an investigation of Judge Baldwin's record towards Negroes.
This inquiry revealed that "a number of colored citizens of Decatur say that they would as soon trust their legal rights to a court in Georgia as to this one," and that the judge had a conspicuous record of reversals of his decisions by higher courts.
A letter from Marie Gray Baker, Secretary of the Decatur branch N.A.A.C.P., to the National office, expresses "thanks for the splendid work you did in preventing the appointment of Judge Jas. Balwin to the Federal Court," and expresses the hope that the colored people can elect another judge in his place when his term as Circuit Judge expires in 1933.

Tampa is one of the few cities in these parts with a Negro at the head of one of its institutions Mayor Chancey's health program is so arranged that two Negroes are now in the employ of the city in this department. Heretofore, the work was done by Dr. J. A. White.
Start First Soup Kitchen
KINSTON, N.C., (ANP)—The first soup kitchen for colored people ever operated here has been established by Episcopalians in the eastern part of the city. The venture is receiving financial assistance from white citizens. A soup kitchen for whites was operated by the First Presbyterian church last winter.

The Atlanta University Club, of which Mr. T. M. Dent is president, was host at a reception in honor of Dr. John Hope, president of the Atlanta University, on Sunday evening from 6 to 8, at the residence of Mrs. W. S. French, 1958 Second street, northwest.

BISHOP IS FREED IN LOVE SUIT
Court Exonerates Bishop Vernon in Alienation Case Brought by Former Protege
LITTLE ROCK.—(ANP)—The suit brought last summer against Bishop W. T. Vernon, presiding Bishop of the A.M.E. Church in this district by George Williams for alienation of the affection of the latter's wife was dismissed in the Circuit Court here this week when his accuser withdrew his charges as the case was about to be called to trial.
Williams, a former protege of the bishop, has been estranged from his wife and charged that the Bishop's influence had caused the rift in his marital relations. The Bishop expressed himself as being happy over the complete vindication received. This week saw the completion of his sixth conference during the past few weeks. A vote of confidence was tendered him and resolutions passed asked that he be returned to this district for another term.
He left Wednesday for a stay at Hot Springs after which with Mrs. Vernon he will return to his hime in Detroit.
Chinese Ambassador Has Negro Cook
The capital is chuckling somewhat over a slightly paradoxical situation. Senator Hiram Johnson, the stormy solon from the golden state, breezed into town for this congressional session with a new cook. He was a Chinese from California. All of Mrs. Johnson's intimates soon were informed that the finest Chinese cook in the capital was found at the Johnson home and that they might look forward to various celestial delicacies as the season wore on. The Johnsons boast however, led to investigations. One would naturally suppose that the Chinese embassy might lay claim to the finest of Chinese chefs. But alas and alack, when the inquiry was over it was discovered that the Chinese diplomatic headquarters did not have a Chinese cook at a." They have a colored chef and he has been holding forth here for years and years. The laugh was on the Johnsons.

time a motion was made and car-

they should meet the deacon board.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
FRATERNITIES HOLD SOCIAL SPOT LIGHT HERE DURING WEEK
FRATERNITIES HOLD SOCIAL SPOT LIGHT HERE DURING WEEK
BY CAPITOLA.
The celebration of the 19th anniversary of the founding of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority and the banquet testimonial to Dr. Charles H. Wesley, president general elect of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity were two social functions of marked importance held during the past week. In addition the reception given by the Atlanta University Club for President John Hope of the University contributed much to the social calendar. Meanwhile many of the younger scl were in attendance at the Howard-Hampton basketball game. Outside of college circles the usual round of bridge parties characterized the social week, but aside from these, most of Washington seemed to be still resting up from the strenuous holiday season. For the next week the outlook seems equally void of outstanding social affairs. For those who like the drama, however, there will be an interesting group of one act plays given by the Howard University Players Saturday in the Medical School auditorium. At the Mu-So-Lit Club, the contract bridge tournament will continue. And for those who go in for night life, both clubs are still going strong.
19th Anniversary Observed
The nineteenth anniversary of the founding of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority was informally observed after the regular monthly meeting of Delta Sigma Chater, on last Thursday evening, January 14, at the Southeast Welfare House, 301 G street, southeast.
Those present were Mesdames Irene Perkins, Dorothy DeLeon, Mary Cottrell, Isabelle Selden, Esther Shaw, Anna Thompson, Louise Wesley, Mary Lane, Helen Harris, Mary Nightingale, Eleanor Wheatland, Mary Shief, Esther King, Louise Pack, Evelyn Davis, Lorraine Heathcock, Rosa Williamson, Edith Howe, Flossie Toms and Elsie Smith.

Harris-Curtis Wedding
St. Louis Social Event
ST. LOUIS, Mo., (ANP)—Last Thursday evening at six o'clock, Miss Josephine P. Harris was married to Dr. Guy P. Curtis at the home of the bride, 4271 W. Aldine avenue. It was one of the prettiest and most colorful weddings ever seen in St. Louis. The ceremony was performed before the fireplace in the dining room, where an arch of lattice work simulating a cathedral door had been artistically decorated with smila wovm in and out to represent natural growing vines. At the base of the arch were banked ferns and glistening huckle berry while natural palms provided its background, flanking the sides of the arch. Palms were also banked in the corners of the room. Two canary birds hidden in the palms sang throughout the ceremony and the reception which followed. Over the doors, windows, and lights, smilax was festooned.
A few minutes before six o'clock, Mrs. Zell Cole Hunton sang beautifully the wedding song by Harry T. Burleigh, "O Perfect Love." And then followed the strains of the ever lovely Lohengrin Bridal Chorus. "In Comes the Bride" pl. yed by C. Spencer Touca. Promptly at six o'clock Rev. W. L. Rhodes of Clayton, Missouri, performed the Baptist ring ceremony.
In the bridal party were the bridesmaid, Miss Miriam Curtis, the maid of honor. Miss Ruth Harris, and the bride, Miss Josephine Harris. The groom, Dr. Guy Curtis was attended by his cousin, Mr. Simington Curtis, who served as best man. The bride was a beautiful picture in fitted ivory satin wedding gown which hung in large rich graceful folds, and carried a shower bouquet of her favorite flowers—violets, lillies of the valley, white kilarney roses.
Miss Ruth Harris, sister of the bride, and maid of honor wore a beautiful canary dress dress over matching satin with slippers to match. Miss Miriam Curtis, the bridesmaid wore a rose-coral lace dress over matching slip with slippers of coral satin.
Following the ceremony there were a few moments of congratulations during which time, Miss Mabel O. Story sang very beautifully, "Calm as the Night" by Bohm, and Miss Ethel Huffman played with deep emotion the violin number, Londonderry Air—Farewell to Cucullian by Fritz Kreisler. Four hundred guests attended the reception.
In line with the bridal party were Mrs. Henry Howell Harris, mother of the bride, Dr. and Mrs. W. P. Curtis, parents of the groom. Following the reception, Mr. and Mrs. Curtis spent the night in the bridal chamber at Poro College and after breakfast the next morning at the home of the bride's mother, the two left by motor for their home in South Bend, Indiana where Dr. Curtis is engaged in the practice of dentistry.
Mrs. Guy Curtis was born in Cincinnati, where she attended elementary school and later at Hampton, Virginia. She was grazed from Summer High and Normal Schools in St. Louis, received her bachelor's degree at Chicago University. She taught in John Marshall school and more recently at the Vasonh High School where she weaned of girls. She is an accomplished pianist, having been a student in the artists course at the Kroeger School of Music in St. Louis.

VA. TEACHERS TO OPPOSE SALARY CUT BY POLLARD
Tells Governor Whites Are Receiving From 30 to 100 Per Cent More
LYNCHBURG, Va.—Governor Pollard's flat recommendation to the Virginia General Assembly that teachers he cut ten per cent in salaries comes as a bait from the clear blue sky to the Negro teachers of the state. Many had hoped that the Governor would take a more liberal attitude on the question of salaries for Negro teachers since they already teach in a reduction scale of from 30 per cent to 100 per cent lower in comparison to the white teachers of the state. This recommendation is especially disappointing to Negro teachers in counties and cities where the local boards had managed to operate the schools without any or a ten per cent reduction in salaries.
The first state sanction of discrimination against Negro teachers in the matter of salary came in 1930 when the equalization plan was established. Instructions to division superintendents from the state board of education contained the stipulation that Negro teachers be given a basic salary of $45 a month and white $60 a month; and that Negro teachers be given a monthly increase of $5 for each year of professional training, and whites a $10 monthly increase for each year of professional training. It was understood that this represented roughly the salary on an average in the state for the two races.
A few Negro teachers and leaders voiced their opposition to this discrimination by state authorities. State certification, they argued, is based on training not color. The price of food, clothing, rent, books, and training is based on the economic law of supply and demand. Not color. The salary committee

After January 22nd
of the Buckingham County Colored Teachers Association was sorely disappointed at Governor Pellard's recommendation of a ten per cent cut in the salary of all teachers. The chairman, Thomas L. Dabney, wrote the Governor the following letter:
"I have just read your message to the General Assembly with great interest. I appreciate fully your desire for public economy. However, I should like to know if you recommend a ten per cent reduction in salary for Negro teachers without any reservations. Do you, for example, make that recommendation for Negro rural teachers? Do you feel that all Negro city teachers should receive a ten per cent reduction in salary? "Under the equalization fund the State Board of Education suggested a salary scale for Negro teachers.... This suggestion, as you know, was that Negro teachers begin with a basic salary of $45 a month with increases of $5 a month for each year of professional training. Do you recommend a ten per cent reduction on this scale? ... There is a great disparity between the salary of Negro and white teachers.... Negro teachers in the rural sections of our state are very poorly paid. Our committee feels that Virginia should improve the pay of our teachers and reduce the disparity between the scale of the two races as rapidly as possible. I shall certainly appreciate a statement from you on this matter."
Governor Pollard wrote the following reply dated January 15:
"I have your letter of January 13th. My recommendation as to the reduction of salaries applies to both white and colored teachers in the cities and in the rural schools. The 10 per cent is taken off the salaries as they existed at the end of the school year 1929-1930. Those who have had their salaries cut since that time will not have them cut again, provided the percentage of reduction is as much as 10 per cent.
"Of course I recognize many inequalities in the salary scale, but this exist not only between the white and colored but between the whites themselves."
"I am sorry to have to recommend this measure, but in my opinion the state of the treasury makes it necessary. Of course it must be borne in mind that the teachers' salaries are fixed by the local authorities and not by the state." The salary committee has no intention of abandoning its plans. The campaign will be continued with renewed vigor with a view of soliciting the support and cooperation of every Negro who sympathizes with the movement. Petitions are still being signed. It is the purpose of the committee to secure favorable action by the State Board of Education and the present Assembly so that improvement in the salary of Negro teachers can begin during the 1032-33 session.
Just Tussling; Five And Costs
BALTIMORE, Md. — Although Raymond Heard and his friend said they were just tussling, although they had been "just drinking," and each had been cut in the alleged altercation in the 1200 block of Shields alley. They were both fined.
Two other men accused were dismissed on charges of disturbing the peace.
"We were just tussling," Heard and his friend told the magistrate.
"Five dollars and costs," answered the judge, "just for tussling."
RALEIGH, N.C., (ANP)—Minnie Perkins, who has served fifteen years of a 30-year sentence for second degree murder, was paroled Monday by Gov. O. Max Gardner on the recommendation of Congressman John H. Kerr, who, as a Superior court judge, originally presided over the trial of her case.

LEE JURY RETURNS GUILTY VERDICT IN HALF HOUR
'Continued from page 1)
All of the jurymen were white, contrary to the plans of Bernard Ades, co-counsel for the defense and retained by the International Labor Defense.
In questioning the Judge Duncan, who selected the panels, the judge said that he did not exclude Negroes, but that he never considered them as members of a race. His manner of selecting jury panels does not conform with the statutes, although it has been confirmed by the Court of Appeals.
The courtroom was filled at every session, and quite a few gathered outside while the trial was conducted. Armed State policemen stood outside along the courtyard, fence and county police were scattered through the courtroom prier and in the building.
Night sessions were held Monday and Tuesday nights, in an effort to speed the trial of the accused aged defendant.
Only three witnesses were called for the defense. They included Willis R. Jones, deputy in the Attorney General's office, who sat in an advisory capacity at the prosecutor's table, and Martha Miller, aged landlady of Orphan Jones, and Orphan Jones himself, who testified for an hour and a half with time out for the night recess.
Willis Jones was called to testify concerning the regulation concerning records of sale of pistols for the purpose of getting the testimony into the record of the case. Mrs. Miller was called to the stand and asked if there was any doubt in her mind as to what the arresting officer said who took Jones into custody. The prosecution objected and was sustained on the grounds that the testimony was already in the record, and she was dismissed. Jones was then placed on the stand and continually asked to be allowed to talk as he wanted. He was cautioned and compelled to talk louder, and finally was told to stand when testifying. He was at times surly and hard to handle by the prosecution making it apparent that he wanted to talk as he desired.
He was finally, allowed to talk in his own way by the defense, and revealed that between 1901 and 1918 he had been held in Pittsburgh and charged with the murder of a person named Davis. He was acquitted of the charge. It was also testified by persons at the Fullerton Hotel that Jones left the hotel on September 1.
The defense rested its case at 8 o'clock Tuesday night. Wednesday was given to summaries of both sides of the case.
Godfrey Child, State's attorney for Worchester county, summarized the case for the prosecution, and expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the citizens of Worchester county in the manner in which the trial had been conducted.
Five Possible Verdicts
He gave five possible verdicts the jury could render: murder in the first degree, first degree without capital punishment, second degree murder, manslaughter, and not guilty.
When Mr. Child said Jones was going to return to the Davis' house and set the place afire, Mr. Levinson moved for a mistrial on the grounds of a prejudiced statement. His motion was over-ruled and he took an exception, which was granted. Child asked for an unqualified verdict of guilty, as did State's Attorney Anderson, of Baltimore, in his prosecution Baltimore.
Mr. Ades summarized the defense in a brilliant fashion, calling attention to the circumstantial evidence in the case and the deluge of evidence submitted by the State in an effort to prove or have it appear that Jones was guilty. He called attention to the new pants of the suit said to belong to Mr. Davis.
Accuses Allen
Mr. Ades accused Chief of Police Allen, of Ocean City, Md., as substituting evidence in the case, and charged that the entire Eastern Shore was anxious to pin the crime on Jones.
He built a case of circumstantial evidence around Hewe, the neighbor of Green K. Davis, and stated that both Jones and Howe could be charged with a case of circumstantial evidence. He termed the whole case as a brazen frame-up on the part of the police. He continued that the defense had proved beyond a reasonable doubt that the evidence was not true and asked an acquittal for his client.
Mr. Levinson gave a clear-cut rebuttal in which he recited the improbability of one man killing the entire family of four persons. He cited the modification of Chief of Police Allen and the truthfulness of Mrs. Miller.
Witness Sam
He referred to the witness Sam
whom the State had asked the
question as to why the defense had
not produced this witness. Sam is
the fellow Jones said he talked to
for some time on the night of the
murders.
Mr. Anderson talked over an
hour in giving the rebuttal for the
State and asked for an unqualified
verdict of guilty.
Tuesday
Mr. Lewinson rested the defense
at 8 p.m., Tuesday, after a 45-
minute night session. Only three
defense witnesses were called, including Lee, who was on the stand nearly two hours in his own defense.
The Tuesday session of the Lee trial at Towson was marked by the resting of the State's case at 4:55 p.m., and the placing of Euel Lee on the stand by the defense to testify on his own behalf. Just about half of the State's witnesses had been on the stand.
Prosecution failed to place either of the two confessions said to have been made and signed by Lee as evidence. An objection by the defense against the admittance of the pistol said to belong to Lee, the pawnbroker's report of the sale of the weapon, and the pistol holster was sustained.
gun in a pawnshop thirty ago, and said the Davise "fine people."
Henry B. Hornstein, we ducts a pawnshop on Penn avenue, had trouble read number on the pistol give and all but the third num- responded with the report given police from his shop.
Hornstein testified he s pistol to Lee on September also a box of cartridges a holster. He said they had bullets, but .38 specials we in .41 calibre pistols. The denied the sale of the s stating the report would h cluded the sale had such made.
Lee took the stand in his own defense and stolidly denied killing Green K. Davis, the Shore farmer. He stated from the witness box that he was framed and that Robert Allen, Chief of Police of Ocean City, had given another man a black-jack to beat him. Lee admittled, without questioning, that he had been accused in Pennsylvania of killing someone named Davis, and that he had been acquitted.
Seld Whiskey
In accounting for the carrying of the satchel, he said he left Davis to sell whiskey because he could make more money.
Lee denied saying anything against Davis and declared he knew "no finer people" except those who raised him.
"No, I didn't kill Mr. Davis," he exclaimed.
Lee said he was born in Lynchburg, Va., and would be 60 years old on his next birthday. His father's name was Joseph Lee, and his mother's name was Jane. His father died when he was six years old, and he could not remember when his mother died.
He said he was raised by a white family named Jones, who called him Orphan Jones, and that he was known by several different names. The witness said Mr. Davis paid him $8.75 for five days' work on August 22, 1931, and $63 for six weeks' work on October 11, 1931. There was still $1 due. When Davis offered him $2, Lee said he only took $1 and put the other dollar on the seat in the Davis truck. He met Davis in May, he testified.
The State witnesses continued their parade to the stand, and most of them identified articles of clothing, jewelry, and weapons on Lee.
Mrs. Martha Miller, at whose house Jones stayed at times when he was in Ocean City, testified early in the day. The very aged woman identified stockings, the shotgun, pistol, clothing, satchel, and several pieces of jewelry which she said were in Lee's room. She also identified the broach Lee is said to have worn on his coat after the murder, and a pearl necklace. When asked what Lee did when told of the crime, she said he threw up both hands and said: "God Almighty."
Mr. Levinson asked the woman: Question—Have you seen any of the police since the arrest of Lee? Answer—Some of them.
Answer—Some of them.
At this point Mr. Levinson tried to have Mrs. Miller commit herself upon the number of times. The prosecution objected and the judge queried the witness as to the number of times but failed to evict a definite statement.
Question—You are going back home after you leave this court, are you?
Answer—If I live and nothing happens.
Snickers sounded in the room and the bell sounded for order.
and the bailiff rapped for order.
The court interposed in the direct examination to clear up the point of Mrs. Miller's trip to Berlin on the Monday night at the arrest.
Trip to Baltimore
Upon further questioning Mrs. Miller said she was brought to Baltimore by a lady (later identified as Miss Collins, Ade's secretary) and talked to Ades at his office. She was ordered not to divulge what was said. She identified Ades, who stood up.
Chief Allen Testifies
Robert Allen, chief of police of Ocean City, was next called and identified the pump-gun, revolver, satchel, scars, clothing, jewelry, and trinkets found in Loe's room. Together with the money found in Loe's pocket these were offered as evidence.
Question—Was Jones hit when he was in the automobile with yourself, Purnell and Hall?
Answer—I couldn't say he was. Upon further questioning he admitted Lee was hit.
Question—What did Lee say when he was hit in the automobile?
Answer—He just said "I'm hit." Sheffy Purnell, Walter R. Dennis, Harold Scagborough, and Mrs. A. W. Hudson filed to the stand and identified some of the articles then offered as evidence.
Court adjourned for lunch recess. At the Tuesday afternoon session James Fawell, colored, who talked to Jones Monday, October 12, testified. He said he saw Jones for the first time on Sunday, October 11, as he was crossing a bridge near Ocean City.
He talked with Lee on Monday, October 12, at Mrs. Miller's, he said.
The witness told of the conversation with Lee, who asked him to go to Mr. Davis' to work for him, and later, to come to Baltimore with him to work.
Fawsit testified that Lee told him he had a .41 calibre pistol, and used .38 special bullets, and that if he (Lee) shot anybody the police wouldn't know, because the bullet from the person would be a .38 and his pistol a .41.
The witness testified. Lee told him he bought the pistol and shot-
Over Hardware Store, 707 SEVENTH ST., N.W., Cor. 7th and G
gun in a pawnshop thirty years ago, and said the Davises were "fine people."
Henry B. Hornstein, who conducts a pawnshop on Pennsylvania avenue, had trouble reading the number on the pistol given him, and all but the third number corresponded with the report sheet given police from his shop monthly.
Hornstein testified he sold the pistol to Lee on September 2, 1931, also a box of cartridges and the holster. He said they had no .41 bullets, but 38 specials were used in 41 calibre pistols. The witness denied the sale of the shotgun, stating the report would have included the sale had such been made.
Mrs. Howard Bryant identified clothing given the Davis daughters. Wheatley Nichols, of Ocean City, testified he refused to buy bullets for Lee.
Allen Tells of "Hitting"
Robert Allen, police chief of Ocean City, was recalled to testify concerning the "hitting" of Lee in the automobile. He related the conversation and arrest of Lee, in which Lee said:
"I didn't murder anybody."
He said he told Lee they were going for a ride, to which the accused replied:
"For a long ride, I expect."
Allen intimated that Lee emphasized "were" when he said:
"They were nice people."
Question—What did Jones say when asked if he killed them?
Answer—Damn if I done it.
Q.—What else?
A.—Whoever said I done it is a G—damn liar (and then he was hit).
Q.—By whom?
A.—I don't know.
Q.—Where were you when he was hit?
The witness then told of the alleged signing of the statement in Snow Hill and seeing Lee in the jail there. Lee said he was feeling better and was ready to tell his story.
Q—Do you know when Dr. Washington treated the defendant?
A—I do not.
Edward B. Gray testified as having seen Lee on the road several times, and at his house Monday, October 12, when Lee asked him to get him a hunting license and some .38 bullets. The witness again saw Lee in Allen's car, and they talked about the murder, but Gray said he did not know Davis had been shot at the time. The witness had known Davis in a business way about 25 years.
He identified the shotgun as belonging to Davis, showing a mark on the butt said by the murdered man to have been caused by the gun being dropped by a borrower. Sheriff Purnell was recalled and questioned concerning the "hiting". He said he did not know who hit the prisoner, because it was dark in the car, and related the alleged signing of the statement. The sheriff estimated the crowd around the Davis house at 100. Q—Were there any shouts at Jones?
A—No.
Q—How many were around Magistrate Bratten's office.
A—About 75.
Q—Were there any people around the Snow Hill jail?
A—Not many.
Q—Where was Jones treated for the cut over the eye?
A—At the jail
Third Degree Intimated
Q—Do you know whether Jones was questioned for 16 hours under a spotlight?
A—I do not.
Q—Was Jones seated between you and Mr. Hall?
A—He was.
Davis' Cousin
Miss Martha Long, cousin of the Davis family, told on the stand of the visit of she and her mother to the Davis home. They went to the porch door, found it locked, and did not stay, she said.
Q—Did you say anything to anybody about your visit?
A—No, sir.
After Mrs. Long, mother of the preceding witness, had taken the stand and identified pictures of the Davis house and the pictures were entered as evidence, the State rested its case.
Levinson was cautioned by the court not to call the name of the Eastern Shore in his opening argument. He said he was glad the trial was being held in Towson instead of on the Eastern Shore, and asked the jury to judge the case with open minds. He said the evidence against the defendant was only circumstantial and there was no absolute proof of his guilt. Judge Offut intervened and told Mr. Levinson that in Maryland the opening arguments are confined to
*
what shall be proved.
After the interruption Levinson said only a few more words to the jury and began the case for the defense.
Mr. Levinson questioned Mr. Willis R. Jones, deputy in the Attorney General's office on the law of Maryland regarding the registration of firearms. When he did not reply with assurance Mr. Levinson had him placed on the witness stand.
The city ordinance was discussed and it was agreed that a volume in the hands of Levinson was the Baltimore code.
Monday
Monday the opening day of the trial of Euel Lee was devoted to the selection of a jury and the calling of 18 of the 61 witnesses planned to be called by the prosecution.
Trial was opened in the Baltimore county court in Towson at 10 a.m., with the Judges T. Scott Offut, C. Gus Grason, and Frank I. Duncan presiding. Night session adjourned at 10:30 p.m.
Godfrey Child, State's attorney of Worcester county, headed the prosecution, and associated with him at the prosecutor's table were James C. L. Anderson, State's attorney of Baltimore county, and James L. McAllister, State's attorney of Dorchester county.
David Levinson, of Philadelphia, and Bernard Ades, of Baltimore, both retained by the International Labor Defense defended Lee. At their table sat Miss Edith Collins, Ades' secretary, and Levinson's wife. At the request of Mr. Ades Lee was allowed to move from the prisoner's seat to a place just behind the defense table where he was frequently consulted by the defense lawyers.
Selection of a jury was delayed almost an honor as Mr. Levinson questioned Judge Duncan concerning his method of selecting a jury panel. As he was introduced to the court he presented a petition challenging the list of 200 names submitted for a jury panel. The petition charged that "the panel 200 names is not fairly and impartially selected . . ." and that "all Negroes have been excluded by reason of their race and color . . ." Further it stated that "this had the result and effect of denying to and depriving the defendant of the equal protection of the law contrary to the provisions of the Constitution of the United States."
The petition was handed to the jugdes who urned it over to the prosecution table. The prosecution counsel asked leave to form a formal reply which was granted and stopped the procedure of the court almost an hour as they formulated a reply.
After the reply Mr. Lavinson asked the judges how the panel was selected. Chief Judge Offut said the selection was in charge of Judge Duncan. The question was then addressed to Judge Duncan.
The judge then related his method of selecting veniremen. He admitted that his system was not in accordance with the law, but that he had been using this method for 26 years. He added that this method had been upheld by the Court of Appeals, and that he had never selected a Negro for jury service.
"Do the books contain any marks as to whether a man is white or colored?" Mr. Levinson asked.
"Yes," replied the judge.
"In the present panel did you exclude Negroes from consideration?"
"I shouldn't say I excluded them," the judge answered, and added. "I did not consider them at all."

OUR WEEKLY PATTERN
Jabot Frock
You're going to see a lot of jabots this season, but one of the smartest ones is the jabot attached to revers, which this model wears. It's one of the most flat-
116
tering necklines, soft, graceful, and very dressy looking. The sleeves puff out below the elbow, and are gathered into a cuff at the wrist. The curved hip-line is most becoming to figures that are mature. Eyelet linen, dotted swiss, flat crepe, or chiffon in white, pastel, or bright colors will make up beautifully. If you wear sizes 14, 16, 18, 34, 38, 40 42, 44, or 46, you should make this pattern because it's a dress you can wear so many places. Size 36 requires 3% vards of 36-inch fabric or 3% vards of 39-inch.
Simplified illustrated instructions for cutting and sewing are included with each pattern. They give step-by-step directions for making these dresses.

One of the most disturbing blights on American Democracy is the existence of Mob Law in the more backward communities of our country. By condoning Mob Law the more advanced sections of the country bring upon themselves the stigma of foreign disrespect, and the annoyance of local contempt for law and organized government. The Negro is the greatest sufferer, the hunted objective of Mob Law's madness.
In some communities the most convenient solution to any crime is to fasten the accusation upon an ignorant Negro. In many cases the Negro is lynched without trial. In case the culprit escapes, the flight of a Negro accused of the crime is recorded as evidence of his guilt. Yet even if he be innocent, if apprehended his life would be forfeited to Mob Law. The sacrifice of Negro life seems to be the easiest way to atone for crime.
In other sections of this country Mob Law receives the moral support of the public and the press. They cooperate with the Mob Law communities in searching for accused Negroes who have escaped. Such Negroes, if caught, are hastened back to Mob Law and lynching. Those who receive the form of a court trial are in many cases legally lynched by prejudiced jurors who have imbibed from birth the Mob Law spirit. Others are strung up without pretense of trial and exposed to the atrocious barbarism of half-civilized fiends.
Efficient and intelligent police officers should be able to solve crime situations by scientific methods. There have been too many confessions of guilt by white men years after some Negro has paid the supreme penalty for supposedly committing the crime. It is unreasonable to believe that many white men have carried their guilt in secret to the grave. Such evidence should be good reason for a fair trial for an accused Negro, and the commission of a crime should not form an excuse for a man hunt in every Negro quarter. America should substitute intelligence and reason for Mob Law.
AN ELECTIVE SCHOOL BOARD

t discussion in the District of Columbia whether or not a school board self is preferable to one elected by the Washington. A general slogan of thent system is "Keep the Schools Out of those favoring the election of bose schools are already in politics."
Current discussion in the District of Columbia has centered about whether or not a school board selected in the present way is preferable to one elected by the vote of the people of Washington. A general slogan of the proponents of the present system is "Keep the Schools Out of Politics." The answer of those favoring the election of board members is that "the schools are already in politics."
Many arguments have been advanced on both sides of the question. So far as the Negro is concerned, it seems that the argument centers about the size of the representation received under the present system. The backers of the present system say that Negroes in Washington would be unable to select and carry into office three members of the board of education. They further say that the type of person elected by the Negroes of Washington would be of a lower educational calibre than those now appointed by the justices of the court.
On the other side they say that the present members of the board are of the highest type. They say further, however, that some very unsatisfactory board members have been selected in the past and many may be so elected in the future. They also say that such a method of handpicking board members tends to make the board members so selected accountable to other interests than to the public of Washington.
The Washington Tribune stands by the general principle of American Democracy that all citizens should enjoy the right to vote and to select, whenever possible, the directors of their publicly maintained institutions. The citizens of the District of Columbia should enjoy suffrage. An elective school board would be the first step toward suffrage in the District of Columbia. The Negro should be last in opposing any form of suffrage.
So far as the present members of the board of education are concerned the Washington Tribune thinks that the Negro is represented by educators of the highest type. It feels that it would like to support such representatives if an election were being held. On the other hand the Tribune cannot subscribe to the idea that Negroes cannot elect three high type representatives. If they cannot, they do not deserve representation. What benefit does the Negro get from an education that does not promote racial integrity and intelligence? He has now received many years in schooling.
The Negro in Washington should be educated to the point where he can use the vote intelligently. If not, his education has been faulty. We see no reason for perpetuating a form of faulty education. Otherwise, the Negro can satisfactorily select those best fitted to guard his interests.
As a matter of policy the Washington Tribune favors an elective school board and general suffrage for citizens of the District of Columbia.
GET OUT OF OUR ECONOMIC PLIGHT
The full weight of the depression has descended upon the Negro group like a hurricane and caught us unprepared. It gets under our skin not alone because of prejudice against us, but too, because of the absence of aggressive leadership, vision and courage on the part of those who shepherd the masses. Our extravagance in living and our indifference to certain economic laws are obviously responsible for much of the hardships we now endure. The Negro should be constructively advised of the pauperism which follows in the wake of such a practice rather than ridiculed because of it. In discussing racial issues it is necessary to bear in mind that the Negro does not behave any differently from other human beings; nor are his weaknesses peculiarly his own. The social philosophy of the nation which denies racial entities, common, social and cultural contacts is ostensibly responsible for the tendency to diagnose the Negro's weaknesses as distinctive from those of other human beings. History shows that the Negro's taste for the very best and finest in modern life is the natural ambition of all groups just out of slavery.
One of the best ways to appreciate the full import of the depression and strive to combat it, is to pause in the midst of our criticism of those responsible for it and turn the searchlight upon ourselves. The Negro must dispense with flattery and courageously face the truth of his despicable

DIGESTING THE NEWS
By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL
Our successful insurance companies!
Without a doubt the most successful Negro business, as a class, are our several successful insurance companies. Some, might immediately retort, "Why shouldn't they be successful, they have almost a monopoly in that field?" The very fact that they do have almost a monopoly carries with it a huge liability. This fact was never so thoroughly realized, by me, until this past week, when I had the opportunity to delve somewhat into insurance statistics.
As I write there is before me a list of practically every white insurance company in America, with a statement from each as to their policy on "sub-standard" risks and I find that nearly all of them class the Negro as a "sub-standard" risk by such phrases as the following:
"Races other than white not accepted."
"Negro risks not accepted."
"Colored risks not accepted."
"Negro risks rated up."
"Negroes accepted at rates 30% above standard."
"Negro risks not solicited."
"Races other than white rated up."
"Only whites accepted."
"Races other than white no fixed rule."
"Negro risks accepted at 150% mortality rating."
Above, are written but ten of the frequent expressions but they are typical, in thought, of nearly all of the white companies in the country. Have these companies arrived at such a policy on "others than white" simply because of
BOOK REVIEWS
BOOK REVIEWS
"UNCLE 'TOM'S MANSION"
By Wm. G. Burleigh
(Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub Co.,
Grand Rapids, Mich.)
Some may style this book as a bit of propaganda, in story form,
against the "wets." And in all probability that is just what it is,
but I found in it a story so typical
and so true to the actual present
day conditions that it not only
served as an interesting, thrilling
and an all-absorbing novel but it
brought home a very timely and
all-convincing moral lesson.
There is to be found in this
volume all of the action and human pathos that is to be found in
real life in any community in the
country where the liquor interests
have predominated and where the
plight. It is true that the agencies of government, the creed of industry, and the pendulum of prejudice have denied us the right to an equal distribution of the fat of the land; but it is also true that we have licensed this surdance through inaction and the lack of a sense of responsibility.
The discrimination practiced against the Negro working class is appalling, but the recklessness with which the employed Negro throws away his earnings is equally astounding. In spite of our wailing about hard times we are still living the luxurious instead of the moderate life. Our wardrobes are bedecked with the finest apparel money can buy—most of which are being consigned daily to pawn shops in these perilous times. Our homes are stocked with the choice in furniture and interior decorations. We have gone mad over the latest models in radio and automobiles. All over the country there is keen competition in church building. We are satisfied with nothing less than the finest, granite brick, and mortar can rear; and the beauty of the edifice must be climaxed with the most elaborate pipe organ and religious equipage. The humble laborer with barely enough to subsist upon undertakes to buy an imposing home in the suburb. We struggle to keep up with the Joneses in fashion and luxury. We spend more on Saturday for our Sunday needs than we make in a day, and more on holiday than we make in a week. We patronize Chinese and Greek restaurants. We wear the flaming obnoxious raiment of Jewish tailors. We dump thousands of dollars daily into theatres, dance halls, and amusement centers owned by Jew and Gentile. We have lost millions in white banks for which few, if any, of the officials will be sent to jail; while Negro banks which have kept faith with their patrons and added to the integrity of the group go a-begging for confidence. We have millions invested in white insurance companies which refuse to employ colored executives or agents. We pour thousands more into the pockets of fortune tellers, root doctors, faith healers, spiritualists, and the "number" barons with no results. We are making millionaries of Jew and Gentile, Chinese and Greek, and suckers of ourselves. While we thus behave, Negro enterprises and institutions are perishing for support and confidence from the group.
"Loyalty to others—disloyalty to ourselves:" "All for today and none for tomorrow," these are mottoes that may be coined from our sense of reasoning. Have we counted the cost? Where do we get the license to be extravagant and reckless in times like these? The man who lives beyond his income generally ends up in the poor house, the penitentiary, or the asylum. There is one future for the dependent group—poverty. Unless we make a quick detour from the palace of extravagance to the temple of moderation; unless we master the fine art of living we shall pay dearly for our arrogance, and our blindness.
If the Negro is starving and jobless; if he wishes to put an end to his economic plight, he must stop arguing with God and the white man and go argue with himself. When the Negro finds himself he will know God better and give the world something to remember him by.
color? I hardly believe so. It is an economic question with them which simply means that to them Negro business is not profitable. Thus, it is clearly seen that if some of our successful executives can take a liability and turn it into a well-paying asset that they are entitled to more praise and credit than a mere assertion that they should be successful because they have almost a monopoly.
For a black man, or a group of black men, to succeed in a business venture that the very best business brains of the whites, backed by an unlimited supply of material resources, have passed up as unprofitable should make every member of the race feel proud of our business leaders who have and who are making an undoubted success of their insurance activities.
To maintain this excellent standard of success the strong should jealously guard their victory and through our national insurance organization a most exacting system of checking and inspecting should be rigidly enforced, lest some weak or mismanaged company should fail and bring a fear of alarm on the activities of the successful which would automatically cause a higher operating expense on less risks.
It is to be hoped that the same business brains that have brought success to our various insurance companies can come together and through their unite efforts bring to a success other enterprises to absorb the talent of our increasing number of trained men and women.
clergy and other strictly law-abiding citizens are waging a battle to make their communities clean. In the story "Uncle Tom" is one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of the community and his family are social leaders. They believe and practice liberality and intolerance and it is this belief that evetually ensnares them in a trap and a mass of tangled lives.
"Uncle Tom's" tolerance leads him into crooked politics, and he becomes involved, financially with the liquor-running interests, viceslords and gangsters. The inevitable follows. Plot and counterplot. Fights, fueds, murders, prison—the entire gamut of gangster action is portrayed and in the unfolding of this drama you cannot help but love the good clean characters who eventually bring peace and victory out of chaos.

LYNCHING DIES SLOWLY
(From the Tribune, Lewiston, Idaho)
Much has been said in late years of the law's delay. Legal minds defend, as they say, the spirit of judicial fairness which prolongs the period between crime and punishment. Unfortunately in exhausting the last possibility of trial error, all too frequently the guilty escape because time has moved on and their crimes have paled in retrospect. To the lay mind, criminal prosecution has become a game in which the skilled player wins.
With the fairness of that view it is not necessary to deal now. But because it exists a black spot is spread each year upon the fair name of the country. The action of the mobs that end the lives of convicted criminals cannot be condoned
It is worthy of consideration, however, that there was a sharp drop in the number of lynchings last year, as reported by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which keeps careful track of such things. Despite all the unrest of the past year we did make commendable progress in this respect. To realize how far we advanced it is only necessary to compare the totals for 1891 with 1931, forty years later, as follows:

Since 1885, the earliest year in which a record was compiled, there has been 4,326 people sacrificed on the altar of mob passion. Georgia and Mississippi lead in the number of lynchings, with more than 450 each, but these incidents are not confined to the south. Only six states in the union have a clear record, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Vermont. Idaho has contributed thirteen lynchings to the tern total, twelve whites and one Negro being the victims of this peremptory Gem state justice.
It is a depressing record. But there is hope in the long view of the problem. Better education and a slowly rising standard of public intelligence is pushing back these outbursts of sadistic lawlessness, in spite of the discouraging history.
The time may come when there will be no lynchings in the United States, and this barbarous practice will take its place with the persecution of witches as a historical curiosity. It represents neither courage nor justice.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
THE COURT JESTER
BY A. Elizabeth Valentine
Jazz has made the Negro court
jester for the bacchanals of the
white debaucher. The pity of it
is that he seems to enjoy it, and
shows every evidence of being
highly honored and flattered. Now
we all like music; the kind that
makes us want to dance and make
"whoopee" as well as the kind
that, wordless, feeds our unimpost
hungers and fills us with unspeak-
able joy. The Negro has a great
capacity for music, and it is sad
to see him devoting himself to jazz
as if it would last forever. Jazz
is a transient phase of the great
art. Though it has swept the
world it is doubtful if its popularity
will survive many more years.
Men's minds are changing. They are beginning to think more soberly and deeply. The over-stimulated, wild, exhilation of post-war days, which created and enthroned jazz, is dying away. The middle aged man is no longer thinking the sophomoric thoughts that you would expect of his son. More breadth, depth, and fineness is seeping into general thought and more will be demanded of music. Unless the Negro develops himself along more mature lines musically he will find himself out of the running.
This might seem like foolish croaking in the face of the present popularity of colored musicians. But is it really? Examine the situation for yourself. The depression is creating a new thought attitude in the world. The effects are being felt slowly but surely. Many will look at the theatre and the amusement places of the day and feel inclined to smile at these statements, but new styles are created and launched before models of them become famous. The Negro is capable of producing really worth while music. Music that will live! Ours is an ancient race with a rich storehouse from which things musical can be brought. We are capable of creating and interpreting every emotion of the human soul, because we have lived them all. Time has mellowed us and proven our sense of humor. These added to our innate sense of harmony and rhythm will make us invincible.
The Negro has ridden high on the crest of the jazz wave. Let him be prepared for the change that is imminent and he will ride still higher on a better wave. The type of music created by Burleigh will live in the hearts and minds of the people of all races long after jazz will have become a museum specimen of the strange tastes of the people of 1931.
I-Told-You-So!
Remember last summer when you were parading all over the country and wasting your money attending conventions? Well, I said then you would be needing that money this winter. I-told-you-so! Remember when you laid off that day and then tried to give the Boss that lame excuse? Well, someone got your job as I predicted, didn't he? I-told-you-so!
Dear friends; this is not aimed at rubbing it in. There is tragedy in every line. I put it this way to emphasize the awfulness of the truth. The pitiful thing about the whole thing is that next summer you will go back and do the same thing. Ye would not listen. I told you so!
Thoughtful Lines BY AL PINCKNEY
Thoughtful Lines BY AL PINCKNEY
Respect is perhaps the most intellectualized sentiment. Self-respect implies that the individual has given thought to his actions and has justified them.
A good conversationalist is a director of conversation. He is a skillful questioner. He elicits information from the bashful and halts the talk of the wordy.
Laughter is occasionally forced. An individual is insulted by a slighting remark. He does not want to recognize the incident, therefore he will parry the thrust by laughing.
Invention is problem-solving. Invention arises from individual needs, from problems, from attempts to extricate oneself from all difficulties, from a reasonable degree of worrying.
The dependable self is psychical; the socially dependable self is psychical and moral. Strength of character is socially insufficient. A criminal may have strength of character but have used it in anti-social ways.
The mirthful self is the successful self. Mirthfulness builds up both the physical and mental nature of the individual. It shakes him up, stimulates him, and recreates him.

KELLY MILLER SAYS:
JULIUS ROSENWALD
PHILANTROPIST
According to the Greek moralista, benevolence is the greatest of all of the virtues. Benevolence and philanthropy have the same essential meaning—to wish well or to love one's fellow man. Outward performance in deed or donation is but the fulfilment of the inner prompting motive. Though I give my goods to the poor and my body to be burned, and have not charity, I count for nothing according to the true meaning of philanthropy. Charles Chapman Armstrong ranks as the prince of philanthropists, and yet he had not a dollar to give. He gave more than money—he gave himself. We live in a money mad age where most things but not everything answers to the dollar.
Mr. Rosenwald was a true philanthropist in that he was motivated by a genuine love of his fellow men, and was possessed of the means to give concrete fulfilment of this innate benevolence. He belonged to a race whose traditional proscription engendered a compassion for his partners in distress. As Oliver Goldsmith put it: "taught by the power that pites me, I learn to pity them." The prophecy vouch safed to Braham—"in thy seed shall all of the nations be blest."—finds a striking fulfilment in this son of Abraham after three thousand years. His benefactions may be divided into three categories: (1) Towards those of his own household of faith; (2) toward: the Negro race and (3) towards the people at large. His Hebrew charities are well known and highly extolled; his public contributions to civic and public causes are universally appreciated and applauded. But his philanthropic spirit shines forth in its purest essence in the field of Negro benevolence. His subscription of over a half million dollars to construct a score of Young Men's Christian Association Buildings in different sections of the country stands out unique in the history of philanthropy. This munificent gift was devoted to the moral and spiritual advancement of both a race and a creed different from his own.
Over five thousand rural school houses of becoming architectural design and equipment based upon his plan and support now dot the Southland. To this cause he contributed over five million of dollars. His philanthropy was not merely the outcome of emotional promptings, but was carefully calculated and judiciously planned. These rural schools are so related to local support and public authorities that they become for all
ANOTHER PARENT PROTESTS
AGAINST SCHOOL SYSTEM
To the Editor:
I observed the letter last week in the Tribune about the conditions at Armstrong High School, and I am in full accord, with your attempt to help us parents who need all the public space we can get in our papers.
How can I hope for my children to get through the high school in four years when the principal deliberately takes away two and three weeks from the children's time by closing their records before the time designated by the Boar dfo Education?
For two weeks my children have nothing to do at home for school work because the teachers have closed up their records and the children are not allowed any chance to make up for what they are comfelled to lose because the principal wants to show his authority.
Then, too, at Cardozo High School, the teachers are instructed to change the marks to a higher grade anytime before the end of the mid-year term expires, if the children show sufficient improvement after the records are sent to the principal, at the end of the week.
There is a great deal of justice in that system, and it seems to me that if one principal is con-
The socially dependable self is born of a training which presents the increasing welfare of man as a goal. In a life of group interactions, honesty, reliability, balance, chasity, courage of convictions are essential.
Imitation is primarily a conserving factor in society. It secures the continuance of established ways of doing, and also, of new methods. Every imitator is at the same time an inventor, and every inventor is also an imitator.
No one wishes to be considered mediocre or like the average. Everyone believes himself to be different from the mass, and fashion enables him to flatter this belief.—fashion is used to gain for oneself the appearance, although not the reality, or genuine individuality.
tune a fixed part of the educational system. The Rosenwald schools are calculated to render more fundamental and lasting good to the educational uplift of the Negro race than any other form of philanthropy lavished upon it during the past and present generation. No one is in a better position than myself to appreciate the value of this beneficence. It befell my lot as a boy in the backwoods of South Carolina to attend a rural school in a building constructed of thirty-two logs with cracks dabbed with mud, a dirt chimney at one end, a board window at the other and a plank door in front. In this structure were crowded forty or fifty boys and girls whose tuition covered five or six grades. This was typical of the rural school houses till the coming of the Rosenwald School. Near the very spot where I as a boy suffered many things while being uneducated in the public schools, now stands an imposing Rosenwald School well equipped with proper appointments and facilities for rural instruction. It is to be seriously doubted whether any other like sum of his great fortune caused the donor greater delight and satisfaction than this. The Rosenwald Fund of twenty million dollars involves the field of Negro philanthropy as one of its major interests. Large grants have been made to Negro colleges and universities and special donations to promote Negro scholarship especially in the field of the social sciences.
The death of a man who has lived advantageously should furnish occasion to recount the good deeds of his life. We sieze upon his departure rather to rejoice that he has lived than to yield to the infirmities of the flesh and grieve because he has died. It was only the expedients of a critical political situation that caused the shifty Shakespeare to proclaim that "the evil which men do lives after them; the good is often intered with their bones." The good deeds of Julius Rosenwald will be a perpetual memorial unto him Jew and Gentile, white and black, will vie in extolling this genuine philanthropist. His name has a secure place in the history benevolence. His benefactions had a far deeper-meaning than the material means and the money value, in terms of which it was outwardly expressed. The means were only a measure of the motive.
Amid the sincere laudations and extolations which his departure evokes from all elements whom his benefactions have benefited, I opine that the ones which he would receive with the greatest siderate of his pupils and their parents, then all principals should be compelled to give the children all, not a part of the time that rightfully belongs to them.
Indeed, Mr. Editor, the books of the children at Armstrong have been taken from them in many instances this early in the year because the principal wants to look over every book in the school before the half year closes.
I read some time ago that the Board of Education is thinking of having school twelve months in order to better equip the children. But it seems as if the principal wants to reduce that time to suit his own convenience. I most sincerely hope you will put a good reporter on this job and instruct him to make a thorough investigation. I assure you your efforts will bring much assistance to the parents. Would you approve of your workers doing nothing two weeks of eighteen? That represents 11 per cent of the time that the children are supposed to be taught or which they are supposed to be rated. If a child stands 75 per cent on January 13, and a principal take away 11 per cent of his time, the would reduce the percentage to 6, which, you see, is far below passing grade.
Now, that is just what is going on under the principal's order, ever though the teachers themselves are opposed to it.
There is where the injustice is done to the pupils and to the parents, although the teachers do not lose 11 per cent of their pay because the work of the pupils is at a standstill for this semester.
Now, to make matters ever worse, the teachers are compelled to withhold the marks from the children, although the ratings are in the principal's office and he has announced that after the marks are in his office he will not change them, because it will mean more work for him.
Think of that. The principal refuses to give a child a higher grade even when the teacher declare that the lower grade is wrong-two weeks before the end of the repeat a whole semester's work.
This is very hard on hard working parents.
Won't you please give us all the help you can by publishing my letter? Perhaps some more parents might see this as I do, and they will be happy, too, for your stand. LAUDIA TIMUE

Superintendent of Schools Invested With Authority to Probe Unpaid Bills
Superintendent of Schools Frank W. Ballou was authorized to consider complaints against employees of the public schools who fail to pay their debts by the Board of Education at its meeting Wednesday at the Franklin Administration Building.
The Personnel Committee of the Board of Education with Mrs. H. Grattan Doyle, chairman, recommended to the board that this action be taken in the future with school teachers and employees.
The committee recommended that Dr. Ballou consider the non-payments of debts that are admitted by the debtor or debts that have been rendered to judgements. Mrs. Doyle explained to the board that very few complaints had been registered to the board and said that on a whole the teachers are meeting their obligations. Case of Mrs. Just
The Committee on Personnel also considered the case of Mrs. E. H. Just and recommended that all papers in the case be referred to the Board of Commissioners for the attention of the corporation counsel. Attorney Easby Smith counsel for Mrs. Just, appeared before the Committee on January 11 and explained the claim of Mrs. Just. Mrs. Just claimed she should have been appointed because Mrs. Occomy, a teacher in Armstrong School should have applied for maternity leave more promptly than she did. Browne Principal Named Mrs. I. W. Tyler was transferred from teacher, class 1B, speech improvement, Division 11 at. salary of $2,600 to administrative principal, class 7, Garrison School at a salary of $2,900, effective February 1.
Miss V. E. Chase was transferred as administrative principal, Garrison School, tc principal of Browne Junior High School at a salary of $3,500, effective February 1.
Miss Chase is No. 2 on the list of candidates for appointment as junior high school principal. H. A. Haynes ranks No. 1 Miss Chase was promoted with the understanding that on or after July 1, 1932 adjustments will be made in the assignments of Mr. Haynes and Miss Chase as junior high principals, provided appropriations are then available for establishing a new junior high school in the present Cardozo building and that if appropriations for the establishment of a junior high school in the Cardozo building are not made available in the Appropriations Act for the fiscal year 1933 Miss Chase will revert to her former stair as administrative principal.
The promotion of Mrs. Tyler is made with the understanding that she will be returned to her former status on or about July 1 if the same condition prevails as in the case of Miss Chase.
The board also approved the transfer of the Demonstration School from the Garrison School to the Morgan School, effective February 1. Miss Edith Lyon was approved as principal of the Demonstration School.
The needs of Miner Teachers College and Wilson Teachers College were stressed to the board by Dr. Ballou. The superintendent pointed out in a special report that a library of 15,000 volumes is needed to bring the two colleagues up to the standard set by the American Association of Teachers Colleges.
Other needs were a salary scale for presidents, professors, assistant professors, instructors, an office staff and new positions to be filled as soon as appropriations warrant.

In his program Mr. Burleigh will talk on folk songs with particular emphasis upon Negro spirituals, using as illustrations his own arrangements.
During his life, Mr. Burleigh has written more than 250 songs, foremost among them being his Negro spirituals and arrangement of church music. He says: "These melodies are our prized possessions, and they are the only legacy of slavery of which the race can be proud—a priceless contribution to the vast musical produce of the United States." In the making of these spirituals was poured the aspirations of a race in bondage, whose religion, intensely felt, was their whole hope and comfort. They rank with the great folk music of the world and are among the loveliest of chant prayers."
Mr. Burleigh has made eight trips to Europe, where he has studied and sung throughout the continent. For thirty-eight years he has been soloist of St. George's Episcopal Church in New York. His voice is frequently heard on the Sunday afternoon broadcast over Station WJZ.
In 1917 Mr. Burleigh was awarded the Spingarn Medal as having made the greatest contribution of any member of his race during that year, and in 1920 Howard University conferred upon him the honorary degree of doctor of music.

The group was under the direction of Miss Justine Maloney. Monday afternoon, Margaret Washington Club girls, with the Girl Reserve secretary hiked to Rock Creek Park, built a fire and roasted weiners. A group of Armstrong High School girls meet in the rose room of the "Y" each Monday afternoon. They are called Girl Culture Club.

CHEST CAMPAIGN STARTS SUNDAY
Organization of Region 5 Completed With Kelly Miller as Head
Starting with a mass meeting at Continental Memorial Hall, Sunday, the third phase of the fourth annual campaign of the Community Chest will get under way seeking for its goal $2,601,000 for human welfare in Washington. The Governmental Departments have already pledged $1,000,000 to the Chest.
Colored citizens of Washington, as usual, are preparing to play a prominent part in the raising of this community fund. Many have already contributed to the Chest through the Governmental Departments in which they are employed, and the schools of the city. Another large group of citizens will be called on to contribute through the firms in which they are employed, and which will be handled by the Group Solicitation Unit.
Dr. Kelly Miller of Howard University has again been named chairman of Region 5, of the Metropolitan Unit, and it is significant that while this Unit was reduced in size from five regions to four this year, no reduction was made in the size of Region 5 because of the task confronting it. It is to Region 5, which retains its own number for sentimental reasons, that the Community Chest is looking for solicitation of all colored people in the city who have not contributed either through Governmental or Group Solicitations Units.
Dr. Miller, with the able assistance of Major Campbell C. Johnson as secretary, has practically completed the organization of this Unit down to team captains. These captains will select their workers and Region 5 will be ready for the drive when it starts next Sunday. Region 5 as this goes to press is constituted as follows:
Team Captains
Dr. Kelly Miller, chairman; Major Campbell C. Johnson, secretary; and the following Division Chairmen, Secretaries and team Captains:
Division 31: George Wiggins, chairman; Miss Marion Conover, secretary; Mrs. Lydia Freeman, Mrs. Blanche Hudson, and Mrs. Sarah Gray, captains.
Division 32: Mrs. Elnathan Early, chairman; Lee W. Johnson, secretary; Mrs. Thela Stafford, Mrs. Beatrice Linsey, Mrs. Ethel M. Seaton, Mrs. M. K. Simpkins, and Mrs. P. C. Gets, captains.
Division 33: Major H. O. Atwood, chairman; Mrs. L. N. Calloway, secretary; Mrs. Alice Harris, Mrs. Esther Jones, R. W. Harris, Mrs. Inez Pearson, Mrs. Emily Jennifer Jones, Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee, Mrs. Martha Hatcher, LeRoy Johnson, Boynton Dodson, and Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, captains.

Division 36: F. C. Johnson, chairman; Miss Irene Ruff, secretary; R. H. Ashton, W. B. Hall, and Richard Jennifer, captains.
Divisions 37: Rev. G. W. Coleman, chairman; Robert McGraw, secretary.
Division 38: Rev. William L. Washington, chairman; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, secretary; Mrs. Janie Epps, Mrs. Ella Perry, and Rev B. H. Whiting, captains.
Division 39: Mrs. Ida Plummer Liston, chairman; Arthur A. Greene, secretary; Mrs. Emma Chaplin Brewer, Mrs. Ella Gibson, and Mrs. Katie P. Oscar, captains.
Washington is facing the greatest easte-time emergency in its history, according to Edward F. Colladay, chairman of the General Campaign Committee, because of the unemployment situation. The Chest is asking for an additional $680,000, or about one-third more than the $1,950,000 subscribed last year, all of which is made necessary to meet the needs created by the unemployment situation. Family welfare organizations must have a minimum of 40 per cent more than last year's budget in order to meet these relief demands. The District of Columbia Committee on Employment is now a member of the Chest, and its budget for "made" work, carrying with it the priceless attribute of self-respect, is now a member of the Chest which must finance this work.

ORDER PRIMARY CASE REARGUMENT
Respondents Allowed To File Brief, Altho Time Limit Has Expired
Mr. Chief Justice Hughes, Monday ordered a reargument of Nixon vs. Candon and Koole, commonly known as the "Second Texas Primary Case," following the petition of the respondents to be allowed to file a brief notwithstanding the expiration of time for such filing. The Court ordered the case to be restored to the docket for reargument at a date to be fixed. Reargument will be had on the case during the present term which ends in the latter part of May. The Court gave no reason for ordering a rehearing of the case.
Why the respondents, who were defending the decision of the lower Federal Court rendered by Judge Joseph C. Hutcheson that the action of the State legislature in allowing the Democratic Party to fix qualifications for voters in its primary and the action of that party in excluding Negroes was not an infringement of the Constitution, should have suddenly decided to argue the case is open to much question. Several reasons were advanced here following the Court's decision. The first was that the respondents felt that the Court was minded to reverse the lower court and wished to stall for time until after the State primaries are held in Texas. Another reason offered is that on reargument the case will come before the Supreme Court with an additional judge, the successor to Mr. Justice Holmes—retired—who might be favorable to their side.
