35 SENATORS WARNED ON H.U. 58 PER CENT CUT
VAACP Wires Senators "To Work Assiduously Against This Discriminatory Action"
NEW YORK. — Warning, telegrams to thirty-five United States senators were dispatched Friday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, giving notice of bitter Negro opposition to a budget cut by the Senate which would hamstring the work of Howard University, leading institution in the country for higher education of Negroes.
The budget proposed in the Senate is lower by $400,000 than the appropriation voted by the House of Representatives and would give Howard University only $675,000 against the previous budget of $1,610,000.
The original budget of $1,610,000 was recommended by the secretary of the Interior, and approved by the President's Bureau of the Budget.
The discriminatory nature of the proposed cut for Howard is emphasized by the N.A.A.C.P. which

Brutal Policeman Found Guilty Of Entering Home And Beating Man
Following his conviction several months ago on a charge of simple assault, Vivian H. Landrum, suspended policeman attached to the old Ninth Precinct, was sentenced to pay a fine of $100 by Justice James M. Proctor in the District Supreme Court, Friday.
Landrum was convicted of having assaulted Henry Johnson when Johnson resented the officer's presence in the Johnson home and ordered the policeman to leave. John Sirola, another policeman with Landrum, was found not guilty and restored to duty.
Justice Preector first announced that he would place Landrum on a two-year suspended sentence, but when he was informed by defense counsel E. Russel Kelly that such a sentence would make an appeal impossible, and that an appeal was desired by Landrum, the sentence was changed to the fine.
Landrum was charged with entering the Johnson home last summer and beating the man when the cop was asked to leave.
EDITORIAL
A CONTRAST
The recent settlement of Whitelaw Hotel Corporation issue of our paper stands outtained in the National Benefitation. The former represent
The recent settlement of the litigation involving the Whitelaw Hotel Corporation announced exclusively in this issue of our paper stands out in bold contrast to results obtained in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company's litigation. The former represents patience and a willingness to sacrifice personal grievance, a desire to preserve the common people's interest as well as an ambition to maintain for our group an institution created by the brain and labor of one of our pioneer leaders in the field of finance, the late John W. Lewis, and the group of self-sacrificing men and women who upheld his hand, an institution provided by the earnings of all the people in our community.
This settlement represents a material saving to those people of many thousands of dollars; a restoration of their confidence in the ability of their own people to manage large affairs as well as respect for their own counsel in settling matters of large import.
In the National Benefit Life Insurance Company's difficulties there has been absences of this patience, this willingness to sacrifice personal interests, and this desire to conserve the interest of the common people with the result that it stands today possibly a complete wreck with the wreckage in the hands of the other group. In one instance, many thousands of dollars have been saved, in the other possibly millions have been lost.
The thought is this: The same principle in settling and saving in the Whitelaw Hotel situation could have been applied to the National Benefit Life Insurance Company. The difference being in the cool-headedness and forebearance of the counsel and parties in the Whitelaw case and hot-headed bickering and personal animosity in the National Benefit case that refused to yield even to Judge O'Donoghne's repeated pleas for counsel and clients not to "fiddle while Rome burned."

EUGENE GOUGH IS ACCUSED IN H. U. PAYROLL FRAUD
Three Counts of False Pretense Returned By Grand Jury
Eugene Gough, head janitor at Howard University, was indicted by the District grand jury, Thursday, on three counts of false pretenses growing out of the alleged payroll padding of last fall.
Gough is accused of padding the pay rolls of his office so that his son, Samuel Gough, was carried on the payroll for six weeks and was paid $75 after he had returned to school at Virginia State College, Petersburg, Va. Young Gough had been previously employed during the summer vacation at Howard. United States District Attorney Leo A. Rover explained that the money said to have been paid out to the son came from the private funds of the university and did not affect Congressional appropriations for the school.
The indictment is in three counts, one applying to each of the semi-monthly pay rolls of September 30, October 15, and October 31. It is alleged that among the employees of the university on September 30, last, were Emmett J. Scott, Albert I. Cassell, Daniel W. Edmunds and Eugene Gough, and that Edmunds was the cashier authorized to pay out and disburse certain funds of the school; that Gough represented to Scott, Cassell and Edmunds that his son had performed certain services for the university between September 16 and 30, and was entitled to receive $25 for this service.
Edmunds, the cashier, relying on that claim, paid out $25 for this service. The second count deals with the payroll of October 15, and the third count with the October 31 payroll. Further sums of $25 on each occasion are said to have been paid out to the janitor on account of the alleged services of his son.

At the morning worship, Dr. G. T. Long, District Superintendent of the Washington area of the Washington-Philadelphia Conference of the C. M. E. church was the guest speaker. The Sacrament of the Lord's Supper followed. Rev. Fullwood assisted in the rite.
Five o'clock Sunday evening a Colonial Tea was held at the home of Mrs. Freeman, 1129 Third street, northwest. A number of guests were present, including a group of friends. A delightful entertainment was the centered attraction for the evening. The effort was sponsored by Stewardess Board No. 2.
Have You A Home For A Crippled Boy?
A crippled boy, 12 years old, is so handicapped as to health, having one arm amputated and an injured hip, that at this early age, he is obliged to lead the life of an semi-invalid. Hospital treatment now completed, he needs a home where he will receive affectionate attention and simple nursing care. As his relatives are not in a position to provide this care, the Board of Public Welfare, being his guardian, is endeavoring to secure a boarding home for him which will satisfactorily meet his needs; for this a suitable sum will be paid per month. Will any interested family, which can offer first class references communicate with the Foster Home Department of the Board of Public Welfare in the District Building immediately?

"Sweetest little honey-boy," croons Mommy in sweet confidence, "we can't tell daddy that his little man was cranky and out-of-sorts today. That's to be expected when first teeth begin to cut through tender gums. You just needed a little sleep and some Castoria to be your happy self again."
Little Sugar-Plum is only aware that the burdensome pain and fevered condition is gone. Mother, bless her, knows more than this. Modern science has told her that most of children's ills come from fermenting waste in clogged up little bowels. That is why Castoria does so much good in children's troubles. It gently but efficiently regulates delicate little organs and wise Mother Nature takes care of the rest.
Teething time should not be a disturbing period at all if baby is kept comfortable. If his little organs are CAST CHILDREN

relaxed and working as they should, normal, healthful sleep will tide him over the irritation of teething.
Every smart, modern mother knows the value of Castoria, the reliable children's preparation which has been used for years.
On every carton of genuine Castoria you will find a full list of the precious ingredients of which it is compounded—all mild, purely vegetable, and containing nothing that could harm the most delicate infant. Children seem to instinctively know that it is good for them. They like its taste—never object to taking it.
Of course, whenever you suspect baby is seriously sick, call a doctor at once. But for all other baby's minor ills, and as a preventive against disease when his system needs regulating, always keep a bottle of Castoria on hand. It's fine for larger children, too, as well as infants.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
LEROY CLAY
—WAR IN CHINA is not the most important item facing world powers today. It is evident that although the two countries have made no formal declarations of war that they are shooting at one another, which is the same thing happening in warfare after great formal declarations have been made and signed. Slowly but surely the present fracas takes as aspect of a real encounter. There are just about three aspects from which such a situation may be attacked, and they are moral, economic and military. The United States, in company with a few other countries have prevailed upon Japan to cease aggression from the moral standpoint by writing notes which failed. The United States could bring economic pressure to bear by a boycott or similar means which would probably end fruitlessly since Japan has almost everything needed for some time to come. While very few would like to see the States declare formal warfare against Japan, it seems that this is the inevitable end. Whether we want to admit the value of property of the few Americans in China or not, is a personal matter, but we are asking government protection here in the States, and surely if we are honest citizens we will demand government protection for American citizens whether they be in China or Georgia. Citizens of this great land of ours must be afforded the best our government has to offer in protection, hence the battleships and soldiers in China. Laissez-faire may work in economics but not when bullets are whizzing overhead. There is no fence except between rifle muzzles and one on the fence will stop a bullet. We must be either on one side or the other, we must be for holding a "ready rifle" or standing there without a rifle. A "ready rifle" will protect all citizens.

WAKE UP YOUR LIVER BILE-- WITHOUT CALOMEL
And You'll Jump Out of Bed in the Morning Rarin' to Go
If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow a lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyant and full of sunshine. They can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-and-out feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your stomach this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels. Gas bloats up your stomach. You have a thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. You don't drink and you feel down and out. Your whole system is poisoned.
It takes these good, old CARTER'S LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel up and up. They contain wonders of vitamins and little vegetable extracts; amazzi; when it comes to making the bile flow freely.
But don't ask for liver pills. Ask for Carter's Little Liver Pills. Look for the red label. Resent a substitute. 28c at all stores. 1831 M. C. Co.
Persistent coughs and colds lead to serious trouble. You can stop them now with Cremoulisation, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Cremoulisation is a new medical discovery with two-fold action; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recognized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for persistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Cremoulisation contains, in addition to creosote, other healing elements which soothe and heal the infected membranes and stop the irritation and inflammation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs.
Cromulsion is guaranteed satisfactory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respiratory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your doctor (adv.)

pool rooms and in some cases, remaining saloons who sometimes spread the sawdust just for the effect upon their customers. The pink sheet purveyor of brazen pictures ii. the days when almost anything above the ankle was considered brazen, has been a victim of the change of ideas concerning morals in recent years. Once it was the only sheet showing what was then considered naughty, but in recent years sentiment has changed and even the newspapers have taken to the job of the Police Gazette in printing the pictures of half-dressed and not-half-dressed women. In its last and declining years the Police Gazette printed on white paper and made a brave last grasping effort to hold its barber shop circulation by printing advertisements for those French postcards and other devices to keep the sheet in its former place as the most worn publication on waiting chairs in the shaving emporiums of the nation. Few, if any, of the nation's now successful men have passed through their fine young manhood without taking a peep into that old organ for the exposing of actresses in tights. The Police Gazette lived to a ripe old age of 85 years—truly a classic of the non-platonic publications.

CLOTHE 33 SCHOOL KIDS WITH TEN DOLLARS
CLOTHE 33 SCHOOL KIDS WITH TEN DOLLARS
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.—(ANP)—How he clothed thirty-three children for ten dollars was revealed here Thursday by John A. Poteat, principal of a rural school in the northern section of Wake County. Mr. Poteat reported that due to the lack of clothing and funds thirty-three children had been forced to leave school. A campaign was made to secure books and money to remedy the situation and as a result ten dollars was raised and turned over to the principal and in a few days the children were back in school. Instead of purchasing ready made clothes, Mr. Poteat after ascertaining just what each child needed, bought bolts of cloth, a supply of thread, scissors and needles and went about the task of furnishing their needs.
"I just bought the cloth, needles and scissors to school," said Mr. Poteat "and called each of the children. After measuring them I turned over the necessary amount of cloth, some needles and thread to them and sent them back home with the instructions to have their mothers make up their clothes, which was done."
SPELMAN GIRL GETS HOLYOKE SCHOLARSHIP
ATLANTA, Ga.—Miss Florence M. Read, president of Spelman College, has just been notified that one of her alumnae, Miss Ida Louise Miller, has been for the second time awarded a year's scholarship in Mount Holyoke College, where she is now in school. The award was made by the Racial Minority Scholarship Committee of the college, which administers a fund established there to provide an annual scholarship for some Negro girl of outstanding promise. This scholarship was awarded last year to Miss Miller, then a student in Spelman College, and has been renewed for a year in recognition of the fine record she has made so far at Mount Holyoke. It provides $1,000 a year for board and tuition.
Miss Mille is an Atlanta girl and attended Booker, Washington and Spelman high schools, before entering Spelman College. In college here she took highest rank in scholarship, was president of the freshman class, served on the student council and the staff of the college paper, and was prominent in dramatics.

MOTHER PLEADS TO SAVE HER SON
Comes Here From Georgia To Seek Clemency For Boy Who Killed Man
Alonzo Dunbar, who shot and killed Cicero Dobson on September 19, and William Watkins, who stabbed to death Wesley Phillips, on October 25, were sentenced to 15 years and 10 years respectively, when they were brought before Justice F. D. Letts in the District Supreme Court, Friday, following the guilty pleas of both men to manslaughter.
Justice Letts remarked in court that it "was hard to work up sympathy for gunmen." Watkins' mother came here from Atlanta, Ga., to make a plea for clemency for her son.
Dunbar had been indicted for first degree murder, but was permitted to plead to manslaughter.
Watkins and Phillips engaged in a fight over a woman by the name of Rosa Holley, following a wild liquor party on M street. Phillips' body was found by police lying in a gutter in front of 521 C street. The man's throat had been cut from ear to ear. Dunbar claimed self-defense in the killing of Dobson. Dunbar said Dodson was advancing on him with an ice pick. The shooting climaxed a liquor party.

7,316 FAMILIES OWN THEIR HOMES FOR $47,050,299
7,562 Families Have Radio Sets; No Building and Loan Association
There are 29,995 Negro families in the District of Columbia, according to the Director of Census, who released statistics on families here, Wednesday. A relatively high standard of living was indicated by the statistical material. Of the total number of Negro families 7,316 lived in homes they either owned or were buying, while 21,413 lived in rented dwellings. Important was the fact that only 47 Negro families here owned homes valued at less than $1,000, while 73 owned homes valued at more than $20,000. The median value for the homes owned by Negroes was $6,433, that of homes owned by whites being $9,722.
Of the dwellings rented by Negro families there were reported 21 for which a rental ranging from $100 to $149 was paid monthly, six for which the monthly rental ranged from $150 to $199, and one for which the monthly rental was over $200. The average monthly rental of dwellings occupied by Negro families was $29.14, while the average for whites was $49.55. Some 7,562 Negro families, or 25.2 per cent of the total reported a radio set, as opposed to 63 per cent of the white families.
The total value of the homes owned by Negroes here is placed at $47,050,962.00. In this classification a home was counted as owned, if it was owned, wholly or in part, by any member of the family. This tabulation is limited to homes occupied for private houses and other similar aggregates of population which have been included in the count of families at prior censuses.
Based on the median rental of $27.14 per month, the 21,402 Negro families renting here pay out $623,858 per month for homes they can not own. Each year the total is $7,486,299 in rent receipts that will not purcash a loaf of bread.
There are two Negro banks here but not a single mortgage financing corporation in the form of a building and loan association for the race.
The sweeter virtues, crushed into life, are embarrassed by being displayed. The silent tear which attends their birth drops away in shame at being discovered.

Barney Barnes Can Now Eat Anything He Chooses
A.
"I got so I couldn't eat anything without having trouble afterwards," says Mr. Barney Barnes, popular oil rig builder, of 221 1/4 West Grand Avenue, Oklahoma City, Okla. "I would have heartburn, and indigestion pains after meals.
"Nothing seemed to help me. I tried everything I could hear of but my indigestion hung on four years.
"Then a friend got me to take some Pape's Diapespin. I had almost immediate relief with the first two tablets. Now that I have been taking them for some time, I find I can eat meats or most anything and have no trouble. I want to tell others about Diapespin because it sure helped me."
Thousands like Mr. Barnes are finding quick, certain relief for sore stomach, or acidity, by using Pape's Diapepsin. Chew a tablet and that feeling of weight and discomfort after eating just, disappears.

HOWARD CHARITY GAME NETS $1,200
Bisons Lose To New York City College In One Of Best Games Of Year
NEW YORK.—Howard University lost to City College, 26-43, but won high praise of the New York press in the benefit basketball game played at Rockland Palace here, Saturday night.
In entering the game, Howard had three objectives: first of all, to demonstrate the highest type of sportsmanship, regardless of the score; second, to win if at all within the range of possibility; third, at least to make a larger score in losing than that of Catholic University, who lose to the same team earlier in the season, 3-24, being unable to make one field goal, and collecting all of its points from the foul line.
Within the first four minutes of play, Hall had sunk two baskets to tie the score, adding two more with a final goal by Pinn and a foul by Syphax for Howard's total score in the first period, while the City College regulars ran up a score of 28.
Beginning the second half, Holman sent in his reserves. Howard immediately took advantage of the situation, and with clever shots by Syphax and Hall cut the lead down to eight points, before the City College sub-guards scored.
City College regulars were rushed into the game, and came through with eleven tallies in succession to make the count 39-20, when again the reserves took the floor against whom Howard University scored six to four in the closing minutes of play.
Entire proceeds of the game, estimated at $2,200, will be divided between the Harlem Unemployment Relief Fund and the Washington Community Chest. City College is regarded as the best college team of the East, having won 16 out of 17 games during the season, losing only to Temple University at Philadelphia. The victory of New York University a week ago gave them the New York city championship with the loss of a single game. Holman, City College coach, is regarded as one of the greatest stars ever to play on an American court, and was formerly a member of the New York Celtics.

TRENTON ELKS BOW TO BORDENTOWN
Trenton, N. J.—In what was considered the season's upset the Bordentown School defeated the Trenton Elks in a rapid-fire game Tuesday night, 25-23. The school boys were figured by local prophets as being hardly able to give the Trenton five more than a workout, in spite of the fact that Trenton lacked the services of "Pie" Green, her star guard.
In the preliminary game the Girls' team of Bordentown started slowly against the Trenton Speed Girls and trailed, 6-4 at the end of the half. The school girls rallied, however, in the second half and held their opponents to two foul shots while they scored three field goals to win, 10-8.
SEA GULLS VICTORS
Atlantic City—The Sea Gulls A.C. of the local YMCA repeated an early season victory over the Bordentown School team Thursday when they defeated the Wildcats on the YMCA floor 20-18. In the preliminary the Williams Giants, a junior outfit, defeated the Bordentown Cubs and thus gained revenged for a reverse suffered at Bordentown earlier in the year.
Tuskegee Basketers

TUSKEGEE, Ala.—In a hord-fought basketball game, which kept both teams moving at a fast pace, Tuskegee defeated Talladega College, 37 to 2%, in Logan Gymnasium, here Friday afternoon. At the intermission Tuskegee was leading, 25 to 12. The Talladega team functioned better during the second half and began to cut in on Tuskegee's lead, and at one time had chopped the score down where the Tigers were only four points ahead.
Bans Spring Grid Practice
Tukkeegee, Ala.—Coach Cleve L. Abbott will not have spring football practice, but will devote periods to a lecture course which he hopes will produce satisfactory results. Assistant Coach Ross C. Owens will instruct the backfield men and Assistant John H. Brown will work with the linemen.

Owners of the East-West League will meet here Sunday to complete details for the opening of the baseball season. The meeting will be held at the office of John Dykes, owner of the Washington club in the newly formed loop. The meeting here was scheduled for last Sunday, but due to the condition of the weather it was postponed until this Sunday. Frank Warfield, former manager of the Baltimore Black Sox, will manage the local team.
Newark, N. J., will be represented in the East-West Colored League. None other than the Newark Brown's have been the eighth club to fail in line in the new loop and the East-West circuit is all set and ready to go. This matter was effected when Gum Posey, chairman of the league commission sat in at a meeting of the Directors of the Newark Brown's Amusement Company, held at Newark. This twist of circumstances has drifted the league territory or cities back to what had been previously advanced. In fact the Newark company had been offered a franchise more than a month ago but after debating the prospects, the majority of the Directors decided that they would continue to play only Sunday ball as here-to-fore. However, following the East-West League meeting at Philadelphia, the franchise was again of-

Reginald Siki Throws Fraley In 18 Minutes
Buffalo, N. Y., (A.N.P.)—Reginald Siki, appeared in the auditorium here Monday night in 18 minutes of most colorful encounter with Pat Fraley, a ferocious representative of the Emerald Isle. Siki launched a determined offensive and applied what the wrestlers call a leg twist. Big Pat was bundled up and slammed to the floor where the proud Abyssinian pinned the Irshman's shoulders and made him sey, "Calf rope." It was reported here that Siki's showing against Fraley was so good that George Murray, wrestling promoter, has promised the Panther a match with Ed Don George, one of the many world champions now running loose. After a tour thru the New England states, the Abyssinian will double back to the Middle West for a prospective bit of business with Gus Sonnenberg in Milwaukee.

fered to Newark and this time promoters of the Browns decided to go into big time base ball. Then too, the league considered prospects from the point of value. Another park was needed in an Eastern city where games could be scheduled at will and not have to work around another league schedule. The Brown's park, Sprague Field, offered just these possibilities. Independent ball is taboo with the new circuit and particularly all Sunday dates must be taken care of in the league schedule. Washington will be unable to play a Sunday game at home until June 12th., Hilldale has no. Sunday ball at home and that left only Baltimore for a Sunday park in the East for games in May.
Interests that were seeking to put a club in the Yankee's Stadium would be unable to play a Sunday date until May 29th and Brooklyn at Ebbets Field had but four open Sunday dates. So with the Brown in the schedule makers have their worries very much reduced. The Brown have built up a substantial following in Newark and last season played the best clubs in the business including, Baltimore Black Sox, Hilldale, Ctbans, Crawfords and many others. Information has been advanced that John Beckwith, titanic slugger who sported the Brown livery last season will lead the club on the field.

Fisk Closses Season With Win Over LeMoyne College
NASHVILLE, Tenn.—A brilliant Fisk University basketball team brought a successful cage season to an end, when in a game filled with fast passing and accurate shooting, the Fisk Bulldogs successfully withstood the sting of the LeMoyne Yellow Jackets from Memphis, by a 45-21 score. The first game was marked by the complete mastery of the Bulldogs over the LeMoyne was bewildered by the floor work of Behnett and Morton with Fisher and Evans planting the ball through the hoop with such grace that astonished the boys from LeMoyne. The first half ended with the score 20-11 in favor of Fisk. The second half was a complete route with Fisk scoring at will, and LeMoyne vainly trying to find out what was going on.

H. U.-LINCOLN GRID GAME IN BALANCE
Annual Football Glassic May Not Be Played At All This Year
The annual Thanksgiving Day game between Howard University and Lincoln University may not be played this year since Lincoln has been suspended from the C.I.A.A. on an eligibility ruling.
Frank Coleman, chairman of the Board of Athletic Control at Howard, stated this week that Howard desires to enter into athletic relations with Lincoln providing the Chester County, Pa. school qualifies under the rules of the association in time for Howard to make arrangements for the game.
Prof. Coleman said Howard will observe C.I.A.A. regulations and retain her membership in that body. He also stated that Howard had no intention of leaving the association.
Dean C. W. Davis, a member of the C.I.A.A. Eligibility Committee, told the Tribune that a statement was being prepared which will clear up the situation.
Lincoln was suspended from the association for using LaMar in the game with Howard last November. It was this player's drop kick that gave Lincoln a 7-6 victory over Howard. It developed that LaMar was ineligible to play in that game. If the famous classic is not played this year it will be the first time in seventeen years. The teams did not meet in 1915. The annual football classic between the two schools began in 1894 and have been played each year alternatingly in Philadelphia and Washington with the exception of 1895-1903, 1904, 1905, 1906. This year the game was to be played in Washington. Lincoln also drew the wrath of association officials for playing club teams.

The failure of New York to have representation in the new East-West League drew quite some attention to the tentative plans of N. E. Goodson, the man behind the Black Yanks. On Monday afternoon Mr. Goodson gave out a statement to the press and from his observations many are of the opinion that he will do just as well the coming spring and summer with his own home grounds.
Speaking of the league and his plans, he said that the conditions existing in the league could have been met, providing that it was the only "out" for him this year. "When we start our season," he continued, "I have every reason to believe that the sacrifices I made last year will take care of themselves when we get going."
"I have already closed contracts to play every Sunday at Dyckman Oval, a place nearer to my people than Protectory Oval, and already they are working on the grounds to have them in the best of shape when we are ready to move in on

MANCHESTER "5" IN LEAGUE LEAD
Pleasant Plains And YMCA Teams Vanquished By Opponents The Manchester and the Elks' basketball teams earned victories over the Twelfth Street Big Five, and the Pleasant Plains in the Twelfth Street "Y" gymnasium, Tuesday, before an enthusiastic gallery,
The Manchesterers downed the Big Five, 30-26. In the first half accurate shooting by Jeffries and Davis enabled the Big Five to lead, 17 to 11, at the intermission. Early in the second half two fouls by Jeffries gave the losers an eight point advantage. At this point the Manchesterers staged a rally, led by Tabbs and the nifty floor work of Dyson soon knotted the count at 20 all.
With the Manchesterers leading by one point, the "Y" captain and center drew his fourth foul, breaking up the Twelfth Street Big Five combination. From this point the winners drew away to a safe margin. Courageous fighting on the part of Adams, Fowler and Lee fell short of stopping the victorious march of the winners.
Elks Beat Plainsmen
In the Elks-Plains contest the winners established an early lead, holding a count of 8-0 for fully seven minutes and at half time were in the van by a 16-9 count. The final score was 35 to 22. The steady caging of "Soup" Turner proved to be the downfall of the Plains. In fact, the superior team work of the entire Elks' aggregation stood out. 'for as they would the Plains' forays could not locate the cords, many shots entering the basket and carcening out. The four teams will meet again on Saturday night in the Garnet-Patterson gymnasium. The Elks' tackling the Twelfth Street Big Five, while the Manchesters will hook up with the Pleasant Plains. As a result of last night's games. The team's standing is as follows:

STORER DEFEATS MINER TEACHERS
Mountaineers Outclass Washington Tossers 48 To 18
HARPERS FERRY, W.Va.—Beginning with a fast pace that at times became almost dizzy, Storer College launched an attack that completely bewildered the Miner Teachers cagers by a 48-18 score. The Storer machine started clicking early in the game and kept the lead until the final whistle blew with the excellent defensive work of Shaffer and Cobbs, and the clever floor work of Warfield, Stewart, and Motley, the home team was never in danger of losing the game.
The second team started the second half—Harrington, Hancock, Smith, Goens, and Willis. The "tap-off" went from Hancock to Smith, and then to Arrington, who scored a field goal. A fast pass from Goens to Hancock netted another basket. Working the ball down the court, Smith cut under the basket to receive a pass and scored two more points. Urged on by the Storer rabble and swelling with determination, these boys played like veterans. Near the close of the game the varsity squad was sent in to finish the contest.

ETTER reasons than because it's "being done" explain why so much maple furniture is now used. The light, mellow coloring of this wood makes even a small, dark room seem more cheerful and inviting. The lines of maple furniture are always fresh and simple. This type of wood needs no ornamental carving. Its exquisite graining and fine parina, waxed to a satiny smoothness, are quite enough decoration.
The modern homemaker is finding that the inexpensive reproductions of Early American maple furniture fit very cozily into her rooms. Maple mixes well with mahogany and walnut furniture, providing all the styles are -of the same simple spirit. Some of the maple pieces which are especially well adapted to the average home are: drop-leaf and butterfly tables, windsor and ladder-back chairs with rush seats, corner cupboards and Welch dressers, highboys, secretaries and all types of bedroom furniture.
These styles which are so popular and useful today are accurate copies of the sturdy furniture which the cabinetmakers of Col-

onial America made from the native maple trees. The wood has the same natural finish which made the old furniture so lovely, and when waxed it has a clear glow like the color of honey in sunlight. I is a hard, compactly grained wood which has an exceptionally brilliant luster when polished with wax. There is a certain qualitiness and informality about maple furniture which makes it very appealing whether it is a genuine antique or a faithful reproduction.
The dainty figure or graining in maple is one of its most charming features. The delicately patterned bird's-eye maple has for many years been almost a tradition for young girls' bedrooms. Curly maple is another favorite, and other varieties are the straight-grained, wavy, blister and fiddle-back types. All of the markings are accidental and may occur in any of the species of the tree. Hard maple, known as sugar or rock maple, is not really a soft wood, although it is less compact than the hard species.
There seems to be a sort of heirloom quality in maple furniture—probably because most of the styles are copied from fine antiques. And perhaps modern maple furniture will be among the heirlooms of the future, because this wood will constantly grow rarer since it comes from "single-growth" trees.

LUIS RUSSELL HEADS HOWARD'S BILL SATURDAY
LUIS RUSSELL HEADS HOWARD'S BILL SATURDAY
The Howard Theatre will present an exceptionally fine stage show and feature picture for the week starting Saturday. Luis Russell and his Saratoga Club Orchestra heads the list of star luminaries and furnish the musical embroidery.
This orchestra has earned an enviable reputation in New York by its broadcasting and snappy interpretation of Broadway musical The personnel of instrumentalists includes Henry Allen, jr., who is acknowledged as the closest rival to Louis Armstrong, and a genius with the trumpet, in fact is given preference by many musical admirers and critics.
Jaz Lips Richardson, will furnish the show with an abundance of rib-cracking comedy in his imitable manner. The four Barons of Melody have a novel and red hot specialty. A galaxy of other star entertainers, and a dazzling dancing chorus furnish fine stage entertainment.
The major screen attraction will be the season's greatest as well as the most thrilling picture of the year. It will rock the rafters of the world. A truly great picture featuring Richard Dix in the "Lost Quadron" with Eric Von Stroheim, Mary Astor and Robert Armstrong featured in the supporting cast.
The popular Tuesday and Friday midnight shows are a permanent feature of the Howard.
Howard Glee Club Sings Over Radio
Members of the Howard University Men's Glee Club have made several appearances recently before radio audiences, singing over Station WOL. Levington Smith has been the soloist and the glee club has been under the direction of Professor Rov Tibbs, of the Howard University Conservatory of Music.
BACKSTAGE WITH THE STAGESTRUCK
A bright and scintillating stage show graced the stage of the Howard theatre during the past week. Ray Moore who mastered the ceremonies conducted the show in fine style. The Three Demons who started off rather slow, set asizzling pace for the rest of the performers after their first number. The honors were about divided between Alice Harris that cute little trick who sang "Cal Me Darling," and "Faded Summer Love," Monette Moore, torch singer, Mable Garrett another wistful singer. Teddy Hill and his Harlem Ramblers delivered some red hot jazz music, their rendition of I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascial You" was well received by the audience. Wilton Crawley who makes that clarinet do every thing but blow bubbles performed as only he can.
LICHTMAN MANAGERS

AT FULWOOD'S CAFE
The Lichtman Theatre managers conducted both their business and social sessions in the new dining room of Fulwood's Cafe on U street, Wednesday night. A hearty welcome was extended to Manager James Washington, who has been confined to his home on account of a serious throat malady. This complaint will require a subsequent operation. Supervisor R.

J. Henry Lewis announces that in order to serve many requests made by those who attended the fortiest anniversary of the Amphions, February 16, the club has planned a joint recital with the Masonic Concert Band which will be given at Garnet-Patterson building April 13.
When the club presented Mr. J. Wilson Parker, noted tenor of Boston, Mass., quite a few people were disappointed not to hear the club sing, but on April 13, they will give a program entirely of old and popular favorites.

"The Lone Trail"
HELL DIVERS' WITH GABLE AND BEERY AT LINCOLN
"Hell Divers," the sensational romance of naval aviation, which will open at the Lincoln Theatre Friday, March 11, for a five-days run, combines the most remarkable airplane maneuvers ever staged by the navy with a dramatic plot that with all its romantic qualities, has something heroic in it.
The picture co-stars Wallace Beery and Clark Gable, the latter having risen to stellar rank as a result of his outstanding popularity in "Susan Lenox," "A Free Soul," and other films. Prominent supporting roles are filled by Conrad Nagel, Dorothy Jordan, Majorie Rambeau, Marie Prevost, Cliff Edwards, and John Miljan. Beery, a government licensed aviator, actually participates in some of the unusual flying stunts shown in the picture.
Filmed at Panama during the naval maneuvers, aboard the aircraft carrier Saratoga, and at North Island, "Hell Divers" has all the sensations of the great naval concentration in which the entire battle fleet figured. Hundreds of planes wheel and dive through breath-taking stunts in formation. The bombing planes, known as "Hell Divers," hurl themselves straight down two miles in lethan half a minute, to catapult bombs at a shin target. A Giant Zeppelin makes a landing on a battleship deck. The story deals with the rivalry between Beery, as a navy veteran and Gable, a new style of sailor, and typifies the conflict between old and new ideas in naval operations.
George O'Brien has performed many daring feats, both afoot and on horseback during his colorful screen career, but never has the star attempted such a hazardous one as the act of expert horsemanship he performs in his new picture, "The Rainbow Trail," which opens Wednesday for a two day run.

SHERLOCK HOLMES "SPECKLE BAND" AT REPUBLIC
Doomed by the words that sealed her marriage! Such is the stuff that the new Sherlock Holmes thriller, "The Speckled Band" is made of. This picture will play at the Republic Theatre for four days starting Sunday, March 13. In this detective thriller Sherlock Holmes solves a murder mystery—the perfect crime. The very opening of the picture is an uncanny thrill, for after a few glimpses of the ghostly mansion, a shriek from a dying girl, who appears mysteriously in a courtyard, electrifies the audience. Mysterious, baffling, strange is "The Speckled Band." A vivid drama of the dangerous age when youth toys with love and sometimes get burnt, entitled "Under 18" will be the feature attraction at the Republic on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 17 and 18. Marian Marsh, who was seen recently at the Republic with Edward G. Robinson in "Five Star Final!" has the leading role supported by Regis Toomey, Anita Page and Warren William. You could not call this girl a "bad girl." Blame it on her inexperience. She was "Under 18." On Saturday, March 19 only chapter No. 3 of "Detective Lloyd" will be shown. Every Saturday is Pay Day at
Republic. Everyone will rea a Pay Envelope containing money.

ATLANTA WORLD PLANS DAILY
South2rn Publishers Owning Four Papers Will Start Daily On March 14
ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP)—Expansion on March 14, from a tri-weekly to a daily newspaper has been announced by the Atlanta World, key publication of the Southern Newspaper Syndicate, which also has tri-weeklies in Columbus, Ga., and Birmingham, with a semiweekly in Memphis.
In slightly less than four years The World has grown to its present unique status of a thrice-a-week publication and owner of a chain of others. It began as a weekly and two years ago became semi-weekly. In January, 1931, th. Birmingham and Columbus Worlds were started at two-a-week. Last April all three were changed to tri-weeklies with publication dates Sunday, Wednesday and Friday. July saw the birth of the Memphis World, which dropped from three to two issues weekly a few months ago.
5
The Atlanta World will continue publication of national and city editions and will sell for 20 cents weekly, home delivery. Its rotogravure section, published every Sunday, and its series of Negro comics will be continued in the daily and as Sunday features. The already large Atlanta staff of 47 employees is being augmented by several more in all departments, including K. Charlesmon Smith, formerly circulation man with the Norfolk Journal and Guide; Noah Thompson, Jr., formerly office manager of the New York Amsterdam News, and Carl Beckwith, former relief linotypist of the Chicago Daily News, who has been made foreman at the mechanical department. Mrs. Arenia Bugg, formerly of the Washington Tribune, has become connected with the firm in the linotype department.
W. A. Scott, 29, is owner and publisher, with Frank Marshall Davis, 26, managing editor. Clifford MacKay, 24, will be city editor.

Wilhoit, who is visiting Cleveland to launch a national membership drive for the organization, claimed that the postal employees, because of their high pay and steady positions, were the most important economic group of the race. While it is a "separate" organization, Wilhoit stated that in Chicago, New York, Detroit, Cincinnati

DEMOCRATIC MAYOR WILLAWARD HIS NEGRO SUPPORT
CLEVELAND, Ohio (CNS)—The recent election of Mayor Ray T. Miller, Democrat, largely through Negro votes, promises to affect a complete reversal of the political situation here, observers state. It is expected that the Democratic organization of the city will take the opportunity given them by being in office to build an affective Negro Democratic machine in the four wards where the Negro voting strength is great. A recent analyst of the situation, in commenting on the program of the city Democratic organization, stated: "One novel program which comes out of this condition calls for 'Democratization' of four great Republican wards in which Negro voters cast the big ballot. This is believed to be inspiration from W. B. Congwer, veteran Democratic county leader, who with the Miller election comes into the 'big time' of American political bosses.
"Miller and Congwer succeeded, in these four wards, in rallying a faithful nucleus of Negro supporters who wasted no time attacking the thousands of Republican jobholders—ash wagon drivers, laborers, street gang members—but who went about telling other thousands of jobless Negroes that the Democrats could use 1,500 of such workers it Miller won.
"The effect in the four wards was remarkable. The Republican organization has been used to carry them by 15,000 to 20,000 votes and expected their candidate would win, even if Miller led him elsewhere. The Democratic strategy held the Negro vote to less than five to one for the Republican, Miller getting more votes than any Democrat in the city's history. Now County Chairman Conguer and Mayor Miller expect to build an all-Negro organization, based on the 1,500 jobs."
West Virginia N.A.A.C.P. Pushes $5,000 Suits For Greenbrier Lynching
CHARLESTON, W.Va.—T. G. Nutter, president of the Charleston, W.Va., branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today stated that suits to recover $5,000 from the County Court of Greenbrier for the lynching of two colored men in December, 1931, were being vigorously pressed. Mr. Nutter said: "The suit was filed by the administrators of the estates of Jackson and Banks (the two mob victims) for $5,000 each in the circuit court of Kanawha County, W.Va., against the county course of Greenbrier County. It was brought under the Capehart Anti-Lynching Law, which provides that a county in which a lynching occurs shall forfeit $5,000 and the same may be recovered by the administrator of the estate of the deceased in any circuit court.
"The county court refused to pay the amount provided by law, although it did admit that the law provided that payment should be made in each case to the amount of $5,000. They informed us when we presented the bill that the Tax Payers Association had requested them not to pay it. The prosecuting attorney of Greenbrier county instructed the county court not to pay the bill on the ground that the law was unconstitutional.
"There are five attorneys working on the case: D. L. Saulsbury, J. M. Ellis, Sam Lopinsky, Mr. Austin, of Greenbrier county, and myself. I think the cases will come up at the next term of the circuit court, which will be the second Monday in May. We are still pushing the criminal side of the matter and are hoping to have the cases re-submitted at the next term of the Greenbrier criminal court."
Honesty of Colored Girl Rewarded
BALTIMORE. Md. (CNS)—A white man, William A. Pollow, lost a $100 bill recently. Almost resigned to the old adage of "finders are keepers, and losers are weepers," he nevertheless advertised his loss in the "loist and found section" of a daily newspaper. Last Tuesday he was repaid for the advertisement when his money was returned to him by Miss Mavie Burrs, 19-year-old colored girl. Miss Burrs was given a ten dollar reward for her honesty.
NEW YORK—(ANP). The shoe is on the other foot at last and for once the colored population
THE TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 11, 1976
of New York has the balance of power in theatrical attendance at Loew's theaters. For years, it was a well established fact that no colored person would be permitted to sit in the orchestra section of Loew's 125th street Victoria theater. Time after time, civil suits were won by colored persons who had been refused seats in the orchestra section even after they had purchased tickets entitling them to such accommodations. Now, with the depression and the removal of whites from the district, Loew's has relented and opened its heart. It has gone so far as to employ a colored publicity man who in turn is soliciting patronage of colored organizations, offering them special inducements to purchase tickets to the former "jim crow" policy house. Just what the reaction of colored New York will be remains to be seen.

MARRIAGE OFFERS GREET WOMAN FREED OF MURDER
Mrs.Eleanor Johnson Cheered As She Is Exonerated
AUGUSTA. Maine.—Offers of marriage by whites, hugs, pats on cheek and loud cheering greeted Mrs. Eleanor Johnson, who was freed from a charge of murder, early Sunday morning.
The case which began on Monday of last week was concluded Sunday morning, when the jurors brought in a verdict of "not guilty." Never was there a more popular decision in all Maine as this one in which a Negro housekeeper had been on trial for shooting the son of her employer, a rich cattle dealer.
The story brought out during the trial was a sordid one but the alibi prouced by Mrs. Johnson and the straight forward story of her whereabouts on the night of the murder, earned for her the compliment from the trial lawyer that she was a remarkable witness.
Her evidence showed that she had full charge of the home and the business of the elder Levine and looked after the welfare of the boys. On the night of the murder Mrs. Johnson proved that she was attending a theatre. On arriving home with several others the body of young Abraham Levine was discovered. Merton Levine, a brother, confessed to the slaving, was arrested and later freed by the grand jury. Since her acquittal. Mrs. Johnson has received several offers of marriage. One wealthy white auitor was vociferous in his advances and refused to be suppressed by the indignation of his relatives.

According to the petition filed by Lawyer Jackson, he left real estate valued at $15,000 and personal property, which included insurance policies in excess of $1,500.

AGED WHITE MAN RAPES SIX-YEAR- OLD GIRL
By Milton L. Randolph
ATLANTA, Ga.-Suspense which held the minds of Atlanta citizens in painful disgust ended Wednesday morning with a temporary realization of justice when H. B. Mullix, a 60-year-old white Atlantic, faced Judge J. H. Cohn at the morning session of the Recorder's Court, on a police charge of "drunk and disorderly conduct," but was bound over to the grand jury, without bond, on a charge of rape, growing out of circumstances envolving Mullix's brutal assault upon a six-year-old Negro child, Tuesday afternoon.
Neighbors Cause Arrest
Neighbors Cause Arrest
According to testimony given by three white men, who were eye witnesses to different angles of this criminal affair, Mullix was seen staggering down the street with the child toterting beside him. He carried the girl into his home at 651 McDonald street, and closed the door. The observers became suspicious and called police. When the police arrived the witnesses joined them to make an investigation and found the girl nude, and stretched out upon a bed in the house. Mullix was partially undressed and in an exceedingly compromising position over the child. In his drunken stupor he failed to give the police a justifiable reason for having the girl in his home.
Police rushed the girl to the Grady Hospital, where emergency treatment was given and a thorough examination was made. Doctors reported to the police that the extent of her injury was not serious and the child was released after minor treatment.
Rapist Friend of Family
Mullix was arrested and carried to police headquarters for questioning. He is reported to have said that the child followed him home because she was hungry and that he gave her some food to eat. He is known to have frequented the home in which the child lived. When all witnesses had finished testingify, Judge Cohn asked Mullix if he had anything to say for himself. He stated, "Well, Judge I really went home." He never denied one word stated by witnesses or the arresting officers. The judge stated, "Mullix, you've been down here hundreds of times for being drunk, but this is the end of your road. I hold you over, without bond on the charge of rape."
Child Victim of Bad Home Life
The child is one of six children in the family. Her mother works out and the children are left in the care of their grandmother. The children's father is reported to have deserted his family a year ago.
The child had not been missed from the house and when police brought her home from the hospital they walked into the house and caught an aunt of the victim serving liquor to a patron, and of course they arrested her.
When reporters visited the home late Tuesday evening they were met with the grum personality of Moss Warren, grandfather of the child. He immediately discouraged any intervention or interest in the case. "That old man is a good white man. I was down there in the county jail last Sunday, and who went my bond and got me out? Nobody but him." Self satisfaction in the fact that the brutal assaulter of his six-year-old granddaughter had gotten him out of jail, where he had been held on a liquor charge. Moses refused to give any information whatever on the case. He didn't even remember the man's name. He failed to appear at the trial Wednesday morning.
Citizens Show Interest
Citizens Snow Interest Despite the unfortunate circumstances under which the child exists, citizens of Atlanta are showing interest in the case, if no more than from the humanitarian angle. The family is reported to be a ward of the Family Welfare Society, and the probability of placing the children in some institution is being discussed.
Man Charged With Manslaughter Receives Freedom
Robert F. Allen, who was called upon to answer an indictment charging him with manslaughter of one Frank Edwards, on October 17th, 1981, was given a directed verdict to nolle prose the case and free Allen, at the hands of Mr. Justice D. Lette in Criminal Court No. 2, Tuesday, March 8th.
The motion was granted after attorney Nathan A. Dobbins, counsel for Allen, had argued that the government had failed to establish by medical testimony that the lacerated wound inflicted upon the deceased by the defendant was not the proximate cause of death.
Dr. William A. Warfield, Jr., and Howard P. Payne of Freedmen's Hospital were of invaluable aid to the defense in preparing a defense against the coroner's testimony.
Attorney Chas. W. C. Williams assisted Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins in conducting the defense.

WHY MORE A. M. E. BISHOPS
STATISTICAL COMPARISON OF THE AFRICAN METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH (A.M.E.) AND THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH (WHITE)
*With the number of A.M.E. bishops restored to 17 or to 16 active bishops in the United States, the average membership per bishop would drop to less than 35,000 (34,113) as compared with an average of 194,323 per white bishop.
Although there was an increase of only seventy-five A. M. E. churches during the ten-year period covered by the last Religious Census of the United States, the yearly expenditures jumped in excess of four million dollars, or from $3,413,395 to $7,600,161. This, in spite of the fact that during the same period there was an actual decrease, as reported by church officials, of 2,541 members and 22,804 Sunday school scholars.

BENEFIT RECITAL HELD BY PARENT- TEACHERS ASSO.
BENEFIT RECITAL HELD BY PARENT- TEACHERS ASSO.
A group of young artists from Howard University were presented in an interesting recital by the Federation of Parent-Teachers Association, Divisions 10-13, at the Masonic Auditorium, Thirteenth and New York avenue, northwest, Thursday night.
The program opened with a series of soprano solos by Elizabeth Sinkford. The quality of her clear, high voice was well shown in all her numbers which included a Mozart aria, "Non Mi Dir" from "Don Giovanni," Hue's "J'Ai Pleure En Reve," and a trio of modern numbers from Rachmaninoff, Hageman and La Forge. Her encore, a spiritual, "A City Called Heaven" by Hall Johnson was greatly received.
Louia Vaughn Jones followed with a group of violin solos, two of Pugnani-Kreisler's arrangements, "Praeludlim Und Allegro" and "Caprice IIIX," Stahl's "Narcisse Noir" and "Jota" by De Falla. Gertrude Parthenia McBrown provided an interesting variation from the usual type of concert entertainment with her dramatic recitation of the court scene from the "Merchant of Venice" and a postlude, "Encouragement" by Paul Lawrence Dunbar in which she urged "Ike to speak up and "spress yo' self."
William D. Allen, the pianist and accompanist of the evening, brilliantly presented Rachmaninoff's "Prelude in D Major" and Prelude if Flat Major" along with Smetana's "By the Seashore" and Chaopin's "Scherzo in B Minor."
A rare baritone voice and a charming personality was displayed by R. Todd Duncan in his presentation of "On Mah Journey," a Negro spiritual, and Wolfe's poem, "Gwine To Hebb'n." He also beautifully sang Secchi's "Lungi Dal Caro Bene," Massanet's "Vision Fugitive" and a modern number, "When I Think Upon the Maidens" by Michael Head.
Proceeds from the concert will be used by the association to aid in the reduction of juvenile delinquency in the District.

Victor Daly's Book Receives Widespread Literary Notice
"Not Only War," Victor Daly's first novel, is still being discussed by literary critics. Some time ago Mr. Frazier, of this paper, reviewed it. Prominent papers carrying reviews were: Pittsburgh Courier, Tampa Bulletin, the Union (Cincinnati), the Sunday Star, Biblical Recorder (Raleigh, N.C.), Llano Colonist (Newlano, La.), Waycross (Ga.), Journal-Herald, and the Afro-American (Baltimore), the later publishing a bitter tirade against the book.
George S. Schuyler in his review said in part: "... frankly expected much better from Mr. Daly. Back in 1919 he wrote a most stirring series of articles for 'The Messenger', on the treatment of the Negro soldiers in France, and I was hoping that in his book he would devote much space to that" while the reviewer in the Biblical Recorder states: "...There is profound thought in this able work of Mr. Daly's, and much that may with profit he considered in all its bearings, by everyone concerned in the welfare of mankind."
From the Llano Colonist we get: "The author is a very able writer and has made his story very interesting and of vital importance to the future peace and stability of American society. I am glad that I am free from race and national prejudice. Regardless of race, color, nationality, or religious affiliation all human beings are fundamentally constituted alike and all without exception should enjoy an equal favorable opportunity to live an unharmed wholesome life with everyone else. The world is large enough to harbor us all in comfort and safety, and no one is compelled to associate with people who are not congenial to him. But there should be no denial of equal rights and opportunities, because of differences in color, race, nationality, or creed."
Other papers carrying notices of "Not Only War" are the Christian Advocate, the Living Church, Portland Oregonian, Library Journal (New York City). The New York Times, Nan Jose News. The Boston Evening Transcript, Home Workers Magazine, Occult, and The Baptist Herald.

kept repeating this over and over, Sergeant Wilson said. Girl Was Government Witness The girl was fatally stabbed on the morning of Tuesday, March 1, on Second street between K and L, southeast where Wells had taken her in his car to plead with the girl not to appear against him as a government witness the same day in a grand jury investigation against him who is alleged to have beaten the girl, and later shot at her.
The closing of Shaw also affected an equal number of students who were attending night school at Shaw. These classes are being held at Dunbar Night School. Teachers' College Closed Miner Teachers' College was also ordered closed by Superintendent Wilkinson. Tuesday morning, due to insufficient heat caused by damage done to the heating plant. The closing of the college released 401 students and 29 teachers.
Although acting like a madman now, witnesses who saw Wells stab the girl testified that he acted sane during the attack and when he drove from the scene. Sergeant George E. Darnell said when he saw Wells at the hospital the broken pick was buried in her neck.
Manv school buildings suffered low temperatures during Monday. Some four or five classrooms on the Tenth street side of Garnet-Patterson Junior High School had to be abandoned when the high winds, Monday, blew several of the windows on that side of the building open. Safety catches were not strong enough to keep the windows closed. Students were removed from the rooms and classes were conducted in other parts of the building.
Said Weis Was "Hopped"
Officer Frank E. Dodson, of No. 4 Precinct who took the girl to Casualty said Miss Wells told him her assailant was "hopped." Police took this to mean that the man was suffering from the effects of drugs.
Mrs. Mamie Wells, 507 T street, northwest, mother of the dead girl, said Miss Tessie Lonesome, 407 Franklin street, a friend of her daughter, came to the house for Miss Wells the dav of the attack and the two left in a car. The mother said she went with them until she found out that Wells was trailing the car in a taxicab.
Burrville School heating plant was out of order part of Monday, but engineers managed to keep up enough heat to enable classes to continue. Schools in other sections of the city also suffered from insufficient heat.
Wells trained girl
She became frightened when Wells leaped from the taxicab and jumped into their car. The mother left the two girls and Wells and went to visit a friend. Miss Lonesome said after the mother left the three motored out to Southeast Washington where the car was stopped and Wells started pleading with the girl not to appear against him in the grand jury investigation. Miss Lonesome said she was ill on the day of the crime and asked to be taken home. She left the pair and went to her home in a taxicab. That was the last she saw of Wells and the girl.
RED WELLS (Contnued from Page One)
Police said Wells, who is not related to the dead girl, acted like a crazy man when he was arrested. He almost ran over Sergeant H. A. Wilson, chief of the Homicide Squad after the shooting. Sergeant Wilson testified that he was leaving headquarters when he saw a car coming towards him. He managed to jump to safety. Wells slumped out of the car and fell on t'e ground. He was screaming. "I shot her, everything is black." He

Think of picking up police calls of the big cities—of listening to bands on ships far out at sea, or hearing, first hand, history-making reports from adventurers on airplanes and dirigibles.
These fascinating programs and messages are sent on the short-wave band, outside the range of regular receivers but within the scope of Stewart-Warner's doubleduty Silver Jubilee Radios.
Stewart-Warner Silver Jubilee Radios The World's Greatest Radio Values
The complete line of 10 models, including Console with and without Short-Wave Converter as well as a separate unit converter for use with practically any A. C. set, range in price from $23.95 to $104.75 each complete with tubes. Only Stewart-Warner's tremendous production facilities make such values possible.
Go to the nearest Stewart-Warner dealer. See, hear these sets, and you will know that they offer the utmost for your radio dollar.

SENATORS TO FIGHT CUT IN FUNDS OF HOWARD UNIV.
Costigan to Make Effort To Have Original Amoust Restored
Sen. Costigan, Democrat, Colorado, plans a fight on the Senate floor in behalf of Howard University here, which had its estimates slashed more than $1,250,000 by the Budget Bureau and the House and Senate Appropriations Committees.
Costigan, co-author of the ill-fated Federal hunger bill, favors a return to the Budget Bureau figure of $1,610,000 for the university. The school would receive only $675,000 under terms of the 1933 Interior Department supply bill, now before the Senate.
Budget Bureau estimates included $460,000 for a heatr, light and

power plant and $400,000 for completion of an $800,000 library building. The House committee whacked $160,000 from the heating plant and $300,000 from the library fund. Upon the assurance of President Mordecai Johnson that the university would rather postpone these two projects than to build inadequate structures with in sufficient money, the Senate committee eliminated the remainder of the items.
The House committee also cut the estimate for salaries $25,00 and that for general expenses, $50,000. These reductions were undisturbed by the Senate committee.
Costigan announced today that he would offer amendments calling for restoration of the Budget Bureau estimates for the power plant, salaries and general expenses. He said he might not insist that the additional $400,000 be made available for the new library, in view of the fact that actual construction had not been started.
Negro Families In District Of Columbia Small
(CNS)—The general belief that Negro families are larger than those of whites was given a job last week when on Thursday the Director of the Census released statistics on the sizes of all families in the District of Columbia. Of the 29.995 Negro families here the largest number of them were families of two people. The average size of the Negro family was announced as 2.84 as compared with the average size of all families which was 2.86.
'CORPSE' WINKS AT UNDERTAKER AND LIVES FOUR DAYS
Woman Thought "Dead" Comes To Life As Family Mourns Death
CLAREMONT. Va.—Just as the undertaker was in the act of removing the sheet from the supposedly dead body of Mrs. Sophie Burns, 78, of Spring Grove, Surry county, in order to prepare it for burial, the "corpse" revived and lived for four days before death was officially announced.
Mrs. Burns had been "dead" for two hours, on Saturday, when at 7 p.m., the undertaker arrived at her home to prepare the body for burial. Her family had gathered to mourn her death, which had occurred at the home of her daughter. Mrs. Blanche Roberts.
The undertaker entered the room where the woman was laid out on a bed and covered with a sheet. He pulled down the cover and the eyes of the supposedly dead woman winked. Startled, the undertaker looked closer and detected breathing. A few seconds later the woman drew a long breath.
Mrs. Burns lived until Tuesday when she actually died. No chances were taken and special tests proved her death.
Aged Bishop Honored By Friends
JACKSON: Tenn. (ANP)—Thousands of congratulatory telegrams poured in on Bishop Isaac Lane, patriarch of the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church, last Thursday, when he celebrated his ninety-eighth birthday. Bishop Lane, who was elected to the bench of his church in March, 1873, is the oldest bishop of all methodism. He was the founder of Lane College, the leading educational institution conducted by the C.M.E. Church, the school being named in his honor.

NEW FORD MODELS ON DISPLAY SOON
Washington will soon get its first glimpse of the much awaited and talked of 1932 Ford automobile models. Since last August various rumors have been spread as to what changes have been made in the new cars. Although complete details have not been made public, it is definitely known that there will be two models, the new V-8 and an improved "4".
It is also interesting to know that Washington has one Negro salesman for the Ford cars. Charles H. Fearing, Jr., has been a member of the sales staff of the Edwards Motor Company, Inc., authorized Ford dealers, located at 3300 Rhode Island avenue, northeast, for the last six months. Washington citizens have always wanted to know where their patronage is appreciated, and the appointment of Mr. Fearing to the sales staff of the Edwards Motor Company shows their appreciation for the business given them.

1760 PERSONS APPLIED FOR AID IN FEBRUARY
One, A Woman, 104 Years Of Age; Others were Too Ill To Work
Unemployment accounted for 521 of the 1,760 persons who applied for aid at the application bureau of the Council of Social Agencies, 1418 I street, northwest, during February, according to figures made public by Mrs. W. A. Roberts, executive secretary of the council. Applications fell off during the last week so that the general daily average, which started out at 80 persons during the first two weeks of February, ended with about 7 persons per day during the latter half.
Almost every type of person was represented among the applicants for aid, according to Miss Bertha Howard, who has charge of the application bureau. They ranged from unemployed men with families to one woman whose age was given as 104 years, and who was promptly taken in charge by the Associated Charities. Young men who had lost their jobs and were unable to locate work, others too ill to work, and even one woman whose husband had just deserted her were among the clients handled by Miss Howard, whose department takes care of all cases referred to the Community Chest.
Significant among the applications for relief were the presentation of 521 of the yellow tickets, books of which are given to Community Chest subscribers in order that they may refer applicants for aid to the proper agency rather than to give them money. This is a large increase over the number presented in previous months, and indicates, it is said, that persons in need of real help are finding that they fare much better by applying in the proper manner than by attempting to solicit alms on the streets.
These tickets, it was pointed out by Elwood Street, director of the Community Chest, are placed in the hands of every contributor to the Chest and enable that contributor, instead of giving money to applicants for aid, to direct them to the proper place to obtain such aid, sending them to the Council of Social Agencies at 1418 I street, northwest, up until 5 o'clock, and to the Travelers' Aid Society at Union Station after that hour. The Travelers' Aid Society maintains a 24-hour service daily and is in touch with other Chest organizations, so that its workers are fitted to handle cases sent them at any hour of the day or night.
Mr. Street also pointed out that the Chest and the Council of Social Agencies have arranged with the Metropolitan Police Department so that its members, in an emergency, can advance funds up to the extent of $2 to any worthy person and be reimbursed, the following day, the proper agency then being designated to take over the care of that person.
All these factors, Mr. Street pointed out, go to show that more and more there is no necessity for any person to beg on the streets of Washington because there is food and shelter available if they make proper application.
New York Democrats Here For Meeting
Civil Service Commissioner Ferdinand Q. Morton and Judge Charles Toney were among the recent visitors to the Capital from New York City.

Others to attend the meeting included Dr. William Howard, of this city, and Dr. Charles H. Morton, of Arlington County, Va.
Deposits Money He Had
Hoarded For A Lifetime
TALLADEGA, Ala. (CNS)—The anti-boarding drive inaugurated by President Hoover has resulted in a number of strange stories concerning persons who have kept their life savings hidden in devious ways. One such story came to light here last week, when an old colored man walked up to the window of a bank here and deposited ten $100 bills, which he had kept so long that they were nearly worn out. He had hidden the money in a tattered old saddle blanket, which he kept hidden. The money was deposited to his account here in a savings account.
STAR RADIO SNAPSHOTS
Jacques Renard, portly stick wielder of the Camel Quarter Hour Orchestra, had his position usurped when the program, now on a three-months' vaudeville tour, arrived in St. Louis, first stop on their itinerary. Greeted at the city hall by Mayor Victor Miller and Jack Grosse, St. Louis's Grover Whalen, Renard's musicians were all set to serenade His Honor, when Mayor Miller himself struck a new note in civic receptions. He faced the orchestra himself and led the men in their familiar theme song, "Carolina Moon."

Fashion Review and Bridge Parties Fill Lenten Season
By CAPITOLA
A cold March blizzard was all that was needed to put an added crimp into social activity over the week-end, the usual cessation of social events having already set in due to the observance of the Lenten season. Nevertheless a few hardier souls ventured forth for a bridge game or a hurried trip out of town.
Of more than usual interest was the Fashion Revue staged as a benefit for the Lincoln Congregational Church. This affair, held at Lincoln Colonnade, attracted quite a number of Washingtonians, both old and young. Last Thursday, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity held another of its enjoyable smokers, and last Saturday, the Mu-So-Lit Club was buzzing with the presence of a number of prominent Democratic politicians, including Honorable Ferdinand Q. Morton and Judge Charles Toney, of New York.
Two well-known bridge clubs were entertained last week. Mrs. Charles I. West received the Matrons' Club at her home, and Dr. and Mrs. Arthur Curtis entertained Club Finesse.
The Southeast House, now in its second year, has received the praise of a number of civicly-minded Washingtonians for its well balanced community program. Under the management of Miss Marion Conover as head worker, the settlement house has made its presence felt all over the Southeast section of the city.

MME. EVANTI 10
APPEAR HERE AT
THE BELASCO
The citizens of Washington are
to give Madame Lillian Evanti, the
former Mrs. Lillian Tibbs, a warn
home-coming on March 20.
Mme. Evanti will sing at the
Belasco Theatre in the afternoon
at 3:30. At 8:30 p.m., she will re
ceive her friends and admirers al
the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.
Madame Evanti has been ac:
claimed abroad as a superb actress,
a beautifully finished coloratura,
charm for the ear, pleasure for the
eye, and food for the emotions.
‘The world has found her crystal
voice of exquisite quality and rare
flexibility... Her axt is filled with
poetry and her intonation is fault-
Tess.
Many citizens of Washington feel
that we can not do too much to
encourage this rising star who has
reflected great honor on her native
city. Not to pay her proper tri-
bute, then, would reflect discredit
on the District of Columbia, Ts
show our appreciation as we should
‘will stimulate her to further
achievement.
Mme. Evanti appeared with the
Detroit Symphony Orchestra, Jan-
uary 11, 1932, and the Detroit Free
Press, the arti daily, had the
following to say of her appearance
‘there:
Herman Wise, noted critic, has
this to say of Mme, Evanti:
“The season's most important
singing came in the way of a sur-
prise, Saturday nee at the cgn-
eert of the Detroit Symphony Or-
chestra, when Lillian Evanti, col-
Gratura soprano, of Washington,
D.C, appeared as soloist.
“There had been notion a
ised nor a great deal said of the re-
markable young vocalist, who was
returned time after time to accept
bows. Such startling fine floral
work has not been heard here in
some time. It brought to mind the
Galli-Curei of yore, though the
strength of the voice fell short.
“Miss Evanti, who has enjoyed
considerable operatic successes
abroad, sang two Arias, one, the
oe faut la Voce,” from “I
titani,” an almost impossible
number, so great are its demands,
numtae Verdi “Ah fors’ e lui,” from
“Traviata.” The latter song is not
far behind in vocal requirements.
“The soloist’s legato tones ring
with trueness. ‘They are soft and
clear, exceptionally beautiful. Her
foloratura effects are hardly 'be-
lievable for their smoothness, their
rapidity and intonation. The ease
with which the young and attrac-
tive soprano sings only adds to the
pleasure.”

GOSSIP OF THE MOVIE LOTS
By HARRY LEVETTE
(For The Associated Negro Press)
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—With California's semi-tropical rain season scoring an unusual lot of inches last week, work for movie extras dropped quite a bit, there only 2,989 calls for atmosphere players, in the 28 features working at 13 studios. This was because most of their work was to have been in out-of-door shots; yet the full average of regular actors and "bit" players reported.
However, there was more work for colored players during the week than usual and quite an encouraging difference in the employment figures of the same week last year and this year.
Turning back through the files of Charles Butler of Central Casting Bureau, we find that in February of 1931 only 58 calls were made up while to the 19th of February this year 108 players have been employed and a number are still working.

Rushing Chinese War Stories
With feverish haste most of the studios are rushing into the cycle of Sino-Japanese war stories or touching up Oriental stories already on hand. Writers from four large studios are building stories based on the war-news. "Roar of the Dragon" is to start at R. K. O. with John Holliday and Harding stars.
M. G. M. is re-writing the script of China Seas for Clark Gable with plenty of shell fire and machine gun seasoning.
Universal has bought an option on the story "Iron Widow" and will rush it to production.
Now half of dozen studios are bidding against each other for Harry Harvey's stories, or fighting each other for previous stories he wrote so realistically about the Orient.
Too bad some colored author couldn't knock out a good one right quick, working some colored characters into that far eastern background and without the usual racial propaganda!

Muse And Mrs. Butler In Love Scene
Mrs. Sarah Butler, whose talent as an actress was discovered in the impressive part she played as "Bella" in Arrowsmith, stepped a little further toward "big time" last week when she played in a love scene with Clarence Muse. The noted star was well pleased with her as his opposite for it takes two to make a good love sequence. Her pretty cameo-like features and soft brown color photographed perfectly. The two sang a song together also during the action.

Philippines Our Weak Spot
(For The Associated Negro Press)
Whoever hoped that independence for Filipino people would be favored by Patrick Hurley, of Oklahoma, or Herbert Hoover, of California. California is afraid of Japanese and of everything else Oriental, and Oklahoma is against everything "colored" from everywhere. No wonder that England and America cannot muster enough brass to talk big to Japanese about Manchuria,—not as long as England perpetuates her centuries-old steal of India and America continues to break her pledge for Philippine Independence. They are all alike: the chief fault these white nations can find with Japan is that the Japanese are too successfully following the white race's example.
Hurley evidently thinks that we should hold on to the Philippine Islands as an advantage in some possible war on an Asiatic power. Even a "Secretary of War" may fail to show good sense of military and naval strategy: those islands would be the vulnerable spot in the United State's domain if war broke out with Japan, for example. In such event, we would be just as much honor-bound to defend those islands as to defend Long Island, New York; just as obligated to defend Manila as to defend San Francisco or St. Louis. That fact would give the Asiatic power the advantage of compelling us to wage the whole war in Asia, five and six thousand miles from home. Every wave of the mighty Pacific Ocean would then become a naval and military ally of the Asiatic enemy. Every naval battle we would have to fight under the enemy's shipvards and a half-month's journey from our own. All of our men would be subject to death in foreign lands and in dirty tropical waters. Besides, if such an enemy had any sense (and the Japanese have sense), the first thing they would do, would be to pledge to the Filipinos absolute and unconditional independence. That would turn most of the islanders against us,—especially since we have lied to them about the matter for more than a third of a century.
War secretaries from Negrohating Oklahoma, and presidents from Jap-baiting California, are certainly hopeless and "dum" where color is involved.

WICKERSHAM WAS RIGHT
Historically, the nation has been paying tribute to gangsters since the days when New Englanders flouted the English Navigation Laws; exchanged rum, slaves and sugar in a most profitable commerce, and bribed and rough-armed the English agents charged with executing the law for the colonies.
John Hancock was called to defend himself against a $500,000 fraud charge at the very hour when the battle of Lexington was being fought, and George Washington stood to lose thousands of acres of land acquired upon inside information.
The men who later drew the Constitution acted behind closed doors and brought forth a document that gave insiders the control of the collection, minting and expenditure of the enormous revenue they had discovered would be possible under the growth of the new nation.
Those who voted for the new Constitution were but a handful of the citizens of the several States, and did so only when Patrick Henry had called their attention to the need for a Bill of Rights to protect themselves personally from greater tyrancy under the proposed new government, than even George III had exercised.
Jefferson, posing as a friend of the people, took Louisiana without warrant of law, and Washington had already used the soldiers to enforce the tax upon whiskey. It was John Marshall, however, who interpreted the power of the new Supreme Court as to make that select body of a few men, the final authority in determining where power should rest without regard to public opinion or the election of representatives.
In the Civil War, Lincoln was induced to emancipate the slaves and thus destroy the power of the Southern aristocracy that had dominated the Government against the tariff barons, and at the same time create a new supply of cheap labor to force down the wages of labor in the North.
The 14th Amendment was designed to cover corporations that had come into power through war profits when men of money bought substitutes to fight while they made money selling shoddy at high prices. To continue in power, the 15th Amendment was drawn to let the Negro vote so long as needed, but it was made dependent upon enforcement legislation which was never enacted, just as the Civil Rights it carried, were protected by enforcement legislation declared unconstitutional by a mere change in the composition of the Supreme Court.
Each of those conquests was engineered by gang leaders with henchmen and strong-arm squads standing in with the court of final resort capable always of finding the reason why its decision might stand.
Specie resumption under John Sherman's leadership, destroyed the value of the greenbacks in the hands of former soldiers, and they attempted to keep control by electing Garfield, one of their number who could not be used as was General Grant, the gangsters bumped Garfield as he was being taken for a ride on a Pennsylvania Railroad train, just as they had bumped Lincoln when he proposed to re-admit the secession States before they had been shaken down, completely.
Andrew Jackson provided a break in the ring which proved to be merely a "horn in," for his gang adopted openly a slogan, "To the victor belongs the spoils," and Old Hickory himself had a reputation for quick draw and deadly fire.
Mark Hanna, gang leader for the manufacturers, not only bought, destroyed and delivered Southern delegates hogtied to defeat Tom Reed and place McKinley in front while the tariff barons took toll of the plain people, but the need of cheap raw materials enabled them to make war upon Spain, a weaker set of gangsters, and take outlying sources of cheap labor and plenteous raw material.
Recently Charley Schwab explained how his board had taken a trifle of $30,000,000 because they came to feel that they owned the business.
The Wilson regime placed two billion in the South, under grant of executive power unequalled in the history of the world, and the Harding regime failed to uncover it in eager expectation to get everything that was both upon and under the earth.
This haul left some loose change in the pockets of the American people, due to high wages, and Coolidge preached and extolled ancient days and ways, while the stock market lured this away. Under Hoover, banks refused to lend to business until they began to fail in droves, when the depleted Treasury reimbursed them and then made an optional appeal to uncover the rainy-day coin exposed by the cry, "Look out for pickpockets!"
Not only was Wickersham right, but Lindbergh acted
Bicentennial Celebration Offer's Big Revenue for Rented Rooms
Bicentennial Celebration Offer's Big Revenue for Rented Rooms
The program for the nine-months-long celebration in Washington of the 200th anniversarv of the birth of the Father of His Country, which begins tomorrow (Saturday) and lasts through Thanksgiving Day, November 24, has been completed by the Bicentennial Commission.
A definite date has been assigned to about "60 major and collateral" events.
"Preparations are being made," says a published statement by Dr. George C. Havenner, executive vicechairman of the District Bicentennial Commission, "for the reception and entertainment of a greater number of visitors from all parts of the United States and from Canada and foreign countries than has ever before visited Washington in any given year. Conservative estimates of this number have been placed at from six to eight million visitors.
"Those events which we have listed as major events will be held under official auspices. As the program is carried out, they will constitute what may be termed the peak days. These events will be the greatest drawing cards in attracting visitors and for this reason, they have been given definite dates far in advance so that prospective visitors from all parts of the United States may arrange their travel itineraries accordingly.
"In addition to the schedules of major and collateral events in our program we are also including 165 conventions to be held in Washington during the Bicentennial year. This list has been compiled by the greater National Capital Committee of the Washington Board of Trade. These conventions will bring not only large numbers of delegates to Washington but the usual number of unofficial visitors, such as members of delegates' families and friends, who will greatly augment the crowds which the Bicentennial will attract."
It looks like a big year, and it would do well to get in on some extra money by advertising that empty room. Persistent advertising in the classified columns of the TRIBUNE will bring you certain results.

SAVE HOWARD UNIVERSITY
Education suffers unjust discrimination in the Interior Department appropriations bill now before the Senate. Whether this injustice is deliberate or unintentional is unimportant at this late day. The wrong should be corrected quickly.
Howard University, one of the few real institutions for higher learning of the Negro in the United States, is the chief victim. Rapid progress has been made by this university in recent years under the leadership of Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson. Howard has won high rating from the national educational organizations and boards and has the confidence of Federal authorities from President Hoover and Secretary of Interior Wilbur on down.
The pending Senate bill reduces the Howard appropriation to $675,000 for next year, compared with the first estimate of $1,942,000 and the Budget Bureau figure of $1,610,000. The current appropriation is for $1,560,000.
In times of depression and Federal deficit appropriations must be cut. But the Federal outlays for social services and education should be cut least because they already are so pitifully small. At least they should not be asked to take more than their proportionate share of the slash.
This rule has been violated in the case of Howard. The cut in the entire Interior Department appropriations bill in the Senate is only 3 per cent, while the Howard cut is 58 per cent.
This is not economy. It is close to murder. No institution operating on a shoestring can take a blow like that, and survive as an effective school.
We appeal to the Senate to save Howard University—Daily News.

A
N IMPORTANT new style trend in furniture—any furniture dealer will tell you so—is toward the simple French provincial designs. More of this French country type furniture is being used in American homes today than ever before. It has a quaint, informal charm all its own, and the
sturdy manner in which it is built seems to reflect the honesty and thrift of the middle-class French people who originally made it.
One reason for the present popularity of French provincial furniture is that Americans have discovered that it mixes beautifully with their own Colonial styles in maple, pine and birch. It has the same rural feeling as our simple Early American pieces, and it, also, was developed in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth centuries.
The reproductions of this French furniture may now be bought very reasonably; and, like the American maple pieces, they are made chiefly in light-colored woods with a melon, waxed finish. Walnut, light oak, beechwood, elm, birch and various fruitwoods such as pear, apple and cherry are most often used. Waxing was always the characteristic finish, used to emphasize the soft golden brown
evening with the Olivers who live at 49 Hillside place. Music by the radio, games, and an abundance and very rich supply of refreshments, served in the dining room by the ladies of this home in their genial manner.

tones of these woods. The modern
homemaker who has French pro-
vincial pieces can keep them look-
ing quite correct as to period by
rubbing them frequently with a little wax.
Among the French provincial styles which mix best with Early American maple or pine furniture are the charming small chairs, made with rush bottoms or with gay red, yellow or green loose cushions tied to the seats. Sometimes these chairs are upholstered in toile scenic patterns or in the quilted chintz or percale petticoat material of the Breton peasant women. Other French provincial chairs resemble the Colonial ladder-back or splat-back types; and any of these styles are delightful selections for the bedroom or informal living room.
The tall dressers of French provincial type may be used for books in the modern American living room, or to hold china in the dining room. Draw-top tables with graceful curving legs are among the most pleasing French provincial designs. Various commodes or chests of drawers are typical of the period. Beds, called lit clos, were often built into alcoves in the wall and when the beds appeared in the middle of the room they generally had canopies or half-canopies draped in bright cotton fabrics. French provincial furniture began when the country cabinet-makers went to Paris to see what furniture was being made for the court. They returned and built simple, naive adaptations of the sophisticated styles that kings and noblemen were using.

Add enough hot water to cov er. Place the rest of the salt pork on top, cover the pot and cook the beans in a slow oven (about $250^{\circ}$ F) for 6 or 7 hours.

Stir this liquid mixture gradually into the dry ingredients. Add the melted fat. If the corn is very moist, even after the liquid has been drained from it, more flour may be needed. Dried corn which has been soaked and cooked until tender may also be used.
Fry the corn fritters in deep fat or, if preferred, in a skillet in shallow fat. In either case drop the mixture by spoonfuls into the fat and fry rather slowly. The fritters need time to cook through to the center before the outside becomes too brown. Drain the fritters on absorbent paper and serve hot.
4 slices bacon, cooked crisp and diced
Slice the carrots, potatoes and onion and cook in 2 quarts of water until tender. Add the bacon, bacon fat, salt and paprika. Five minutes before serving, break the biscuits and add to the soup. Either

The kidnapping of Charles Augustus Lindbergh. 3d, last week, has rivited the attention of the entire world. The machinery of county. State and nation was immediately put in motion to recover the child and to apprehend his abductors. Neither money, time, nor effort have been spared. Police, State troops, national law enforcement officers, speedboats, airplanes and other mechanical devices have been brought into opération in an attempt to recover the innocent son of America's pride, the Lone Eagle of the Air.
The press, the pulpit, and the radio have been put at the disposal of the harried family.
Not only, however, at the disposal of the tortured parents, but equally at the disposal of the despisable criminals guilty of this dastardly crime.
The forces of law and order having failed, gangsters and racketeers have been appealed to, and so far in vain.
Not only has the harrassed father, who has witnessed the law of his land turn to water in the hands of its sworn officers, offered to deal directly or indirectly with the criminals, personally or by any agency they may select, but he has offered them unconditionally that he will not in any wise aid in bringing them to justice if they should see fit to return his first born to him unharmed.
The whole world must suffer with his suffering; and his splendid achievements, and still more splendid modesty in the face of overwhelming honors cause the world to weep with him in his hour of trial.
At the same time every church and every hospital, every doctor and every other private agency have offered to violate the law and offer sanctuary to these criminals if the son of the best beloved may be returned safely to his home.
In addition to this the law enforcement officers of county, State and nation have tacitly agreed not only that immunity may be confidentially expected by the criminals, but that they may take the spoils of their crime from the distracted father and go their ways in peace.
Our governments, county, State and nation have as dishonorably surrendered to the forces of lawlessness and have as objectly sued for peace at the hands of the criminal element of this land as though they were an overwhelmingly conquering horde of invaders sent hitherto by an irresistible foreign foe, threatening our land with destruction.
And the surrender is much more dishonorable, indecent and dangerous. If the foreign foe were irresistible there would be little of dishonor in yielding to superior strength.
And the conquering country having obtained the object of its invasion might go away and leave us in peace.
They would ask us, however hard their terms, to accede to them under the laws of nations as one equal dealing with another; but these criminals are sued to let us alone, and invited to go in peace, singing the song of the Christian:
"Each victory will help us some other to win."
It is no time to lecture, no time to say "I told you so," but may the voice of a people often times as a people and as individuals suffering the agonies that this family now suffers, and in silence and without sympathy, be pardoned in saying that if the forces of the law had aroused themselves and combatted organized lawlessness in the lynchings that have disgraced this country from time immemorial and had made it to be known that the law could not be overridden in the case of the weak and the lowly; these forces of the law might not stand as they do now, pitifiable supplicants suing for peace with criminals. "Each victory, etc."
Colonel Lindbergh may be sure of the sympathy of the Negro race.
We venture our all that no Negro did this deed. We have always known, what we fear that other fathers like he must come to know all too soon—in shame be it said—that the laws of our land offer no protection to the home from the lyncher, the kidnapper, and other lawless invaders.

The Census release showing the number of families in the District of Columbia shows that there are 47,190 homes here owned by as many families, and 75,223 rented homes.
Of the 47,190 families owning homes, 7,314 are Negro families. Of the 75,223 families renting homes, 21,409 are colored. Then there are 28,723 Negro families in the District. The average is about 25 per cent for home owning. This seems rather a low percentage for our boasted intelligence and regular employment.
It is commendable that only 47 homes owned are valued below $1,000, while 240 run above $15,000 and $20,000. The median value is $6,433; while the median value for the District is $9,246.
It is also interesting to note the total value of the 7,314 homes owned by Negroes is placed at $47,050,962, while we pay $623,858 per month for rent, or a total of $7,486,299 a year. It would also be interesting to know how much of the $7,486,299 rent money is paid to Negro landlords. We are throwing away millions in rent money.
With 21,409 families renting homes here it certainly should inspire the establishment of at least one building and loan association operated by Negroes. We do not have a single finance corporation rendering a home service in financing either first or second mortgages. With two banks we certainly should be able to organize and foster a home building association.
The home is the bulwark of our Government. The majority of people have a strong desire to own their homes. The owned home with its many comforts and satisfaction is the ideal that most families wish to secure for themselves. To encourage this and improve the home in every way possible is a commendable purpose, a constructive program. The home, like the church and school, is recognized as one of the most fundamental of our human institutions. May we strive to own more and better homes.

PROTEST HOWARD UNIV.
HEADLINES
To the Editor:
We, the Student Council, are convinced of the seriousness of the unwarranted and cheap publicity given Howard University. We have seen Howard in the headlines for several weeks now. Surely, this sensational publicity is unwarranted. We are not opposed to the publication of facts concerning the University, but we do think that there must be some other news more appropriate for headlines than the opinions of persons concerning Howard University. There can be no doubt that the students themselves are the ones most seriously harmed by this sensational publicity. Many of our friends who are not closely associated with the University will be driven from us. We realize that our diplomas will not be worth any more than the name of the University by which they were awarded.
Week after week students are interrupted from their quiet study by glaring headlines published by the Negro press. However, we are thankful that all Negro newspapers are not guilty of this practice. Some are interested in obtaining facts and following the rules of journalism.
This scurrilous use of journalism which we have referred to will create in the minds of college youth not only at Howard but everywhere, a contempt for the Negro newspapers that practice this abuse.
We, the Student Council of Howard University, in behalf of the future of the students and the future of the University, are asking the papers to discontinue this sensational publicity, for we do not believe it to be of value to any one concerned.
Very gratefully yours,
The Student Council of
Howard University.

DR. WESLEY REPLIES TO
BISHOP JONES
Editor, Tribune:
Editor, Tribune:
In the Washington Tribune of Mach 4, Bishop E. D. W. Jones of the A. M. E. Zion Church writes under the *initic* "Dr. Wesley Corrected", in which he endeavors to correct an address which I made during Negro History Week. Mav *I* ask for space for a brief reply to his criticisms? I would like to inform Bishop Jones at the outset that the statement which he read was not prepared especially for the Tribune. It was an account of an address delivered at the noon assembly at Howard University, which was sent to the newspapers by the Bureau of Public Information at Howard University. Errors as to dates may have been possible under these conditions. To this end and for all other purposes, I welcome corrections and assistance in the pursuit of historical truth and particularly in matters concerning the people of African descent.
Bishop Jones calls attention to the single omission of the name of Peter Williams and charges me with a "preference and bias", in art because I did not tell of his work. Some of my students at Howard University who listened to the address, and readers of the reported accounts also could call the names of a larger number of distinguished personages omitted. They would scarcely add only one name to the list, as does the Bishop and then in the same moment accuse the author of the address as biased. I made no pretense of covering in chronicle and complete form all of the leading characters in Negro life, and so indicated it in my address. If he is going to correct me, I would suggest that he make his correction comprehensive and call the names of the others omitted, some of whom were not specifically in the field of religion, or if he fails in this, he shows himself liable to the same charge which he alleges against the writer. Let us not forget the story of the mote and the beam. The mention of one name, and to which he devoted two-thirds of his article, raises the presumption of "bias" from those who wuld sit in judgment upon his statements, as he does for the statements of another.
The Bishop has also asserts that his church has "founders", not "a founder". If the bishop does not know, may I inform him that this is "use of every church denomination. It is true of our country. There were associates with George Washington, but we hear more of hi than of Hamilton, Jefferson or Adams. True the nation has founders also, not a founder. But arguments from analogy are quite unnecessary. If the good bishop does not care to claim John Varick as the founder, but would rather have him as the "first bishop", that may be his "preference" or his "bias", if he desires it. I am as much aware as he that James Varick, George Collins, William Miller, Abraham Thompson and others founded the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church and I am equally aware that Richard Allen. William Hagin, Jonathan Trustee, John Morris, Robert Green and others founded the African Methodist Episcopal Church and that prominent per-

KELLY MILLER SAYS:
KELLY MILLER SAYS:
A DOUBLE-MINDED RACE
Dr. Carter Woodson, in a recent release, advises the Negro to think black. This is possible only to a limited degree. The Negro is largely confined by the walls of his racial prison house. His mind is inevitably distributed between the inner and outer circles. An old proverb says that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways. Every minority group labors under handicap of this disadvantage. In our cosmopolitan population, we have three fairly well defined minority groups—the Catholics, the Jew and the Negro. The Ku Klux Klan avers that no one of them can be American citizens, in the one hundred per cent meaning of that term. The Negro is by far the most isolated and proscribed of these three. He alone is shunted and set aside in jim-crow cars, separate schools and segregated residential and social areas. Wherever the proscribed group has a peculiar culture at variance with that of the general body social, or where racial arrogance sets up a color bar, the despised and rejected element is thrown back upon itself for much consolation of hope or resolution of despair, as may be feasible. A Catholic can hardly be elected President of the United States unless his catholicism is diluted to the point of negibility. The vast Protestant majority rose up in protest against the candidacy of Al Smith, on the ground that his allegiance would be divided between the church and state. The Jew can hardly be an ardent advocate of his religious traditions and be accepted in full measure, as an American. He may conceal his Semitism and be accepted as an American, but then only with reservations. On the twenty-second of February the voice of Solomon Bloom, a Jew, was heard on the air extolling the religious devotion of George Washington, in the little church which he founded at Powhic, Virginia. But how many millions of gentle Americans thought of the artificiality of a voice alien in tradition and culture to those of the extolled Father of his Country? Bergeon, the philosopher, visited America, not as a Jew, but as a philosopher, and was received and accepted as such. On the other hand when I first saw and heard Albert Einstein, he came to our shores, not as the world's most famous mathematician and physicist, but as a delegate to the Zionist Movement. I once heard Rabbi Wise say that no Jew could be made president of an American college. His Semitic bias effectively forbids. Unlike the Catholic and the Jew, the Negro is bound to the body of his race from which there is no possible release. He is anxious to be as good an American as circumstances will permit him to be. But in whatever sphere he

By Algernon B. Jackson, M.D.
(For the A. N. P.)
(For the A. N. P.)
For: the past week my wife has been tramping the streets urging folks to give to the Community Chest Fund. Naturally I have seen very little of her except when she comes home late in the evening tired, tense and weighted down with new experiences which each day brings forth. There is an old Jewish proverb which reads: "What you give for the cause of charity in health is gold, what you give in sickness is silver, and what you give after death is lead." From what she tells me I am inclined to believe that much that is given under coercion during these "drives" must be lead. What strange positions various persons take in regard to charity. Many of the colored folks whom she has approached object to giving to the Community Chest because they do not believe Negroes get their share of its benefits. In
sons were associated with Andrew Liele and George Bryan in founding the Baptist Church among Negroes. It is quite naive in the bishop to assume that I attribute the founding of any church or organization to any one man. In common parlance, we speak of Washington as the Father of his country, and because my address dealt with the Negroes of Washington's period, I endeavored to select Negroes who were the fathers of individual movements. If my address gave him the opinion of narrowness, mav I be permitted to disabuse his mind of this opinion now?
He further asserts that the A.M. E. Zion Church is the oldest of the independent Negro Methodist incorporated bodies. On the contrary the evidence which I have in my possession shows that the African Methodist Episcopal Church was incorporated April 6, 1791, and a supplement was added to this incorporation in 1793. It was incorporated as "the African Methodist Episcopal Church called Bethel". The next year, 1794, a church building for this organization was dedicated. 'All of this of the Zion group from the John happened prior to the separation Street Methodist Episcopal Church in 1796; and prior to its incorporation in 1798, and its contract with
may aspire, he is slapped in the face by the racial bar which reads—"Path closed, so far shalt thou go and no farther." This is equally true in politics, business, education and religion. The bepuzzled aspirant is thus thrown back on himself by the explosive power of race prejudice. He therefore must think black under law of social and psychological necessity.
But he must not allow himself to think altogether black. He lives in penumbra of a white world. But for the central light, the penumbra would turn into crass darkness. He must preserve a just balance between the white and the black world. One of these days we will develop an educational statesmanship which will recognize this principle. Up to now, the Negro's educational trend has been in the direction of whiteness to the degree that he has come to despise himself. There is no greater condemnation than this. This is especially true of those brought up exclusively under white tutelage.
The curriculum of Fisk, Lincoln, Howard and Atlanta, differ in no essential aspect from those of Oberlin, Yale and Dartmouth. In so far as the exact sciences are concerned this could not and should not be otherwise. But where it comes to the social sciences and their interpretation and application to practical life relations the case is far different. The bird on the limb is a poor adviser of the fish under the water. Booker Washington is the only Negro educator who disclosed any marked originality. He sought to adopt only as much of the white man's curriculum as was necessary to meet the requirements, but always with a view to adapting them to the needs and necessities of his constituency. He fully recognized that this need was a constantly expanding one. Had he lived to work out the completion of his program and had not the World War frustrated all educational procedure, the Wizard of Tuskegee would have gone down to history as the greatest American educator of his time. Since the war all of our educational endeavor is rather in the nature of busy work rather than stimulus towards some definitely stated ideal. But our Negro schools are in the most desperate predicament of them all. Aside from preparing a few men and women for jobs, our pedagogy is floundering on a shoreless sea without chart or compass. It is preparing men and women to take jobs, but not to make them, and that too at a time when there are fewer and fewer jobs to take. It is lacking in stimulative motive and dynamic power. But whatever this ultimate pedagogy may turn out to be, the Negro who is leading public thought and opinion must think both white and black, and must observe a just balance and proportion
fact they say most of it goes to the whites. She tells me of a colored woman who looks like a Caucasian and the experiences she had in approaching a white woman. The white woman refused to contribute because as she said "most all of the money goes to niggers". How can we reconcile these two views?
Charity, the greatest of the triple virtues, should make us all forget the question of race as we think of the service it renders to those of our fellowmen less fortunate than ourselves. Charity to really be charity must be big and broad or it misses the mark completely. Community charity is doing much to bring about that sort of liberal thinking and acting and as the years go by, I have no doubt that we shall see a better understanding between the races as a result thereof. Over the radio the other evening I heard a speaker say "it is not charity but sharity' and after all I believe we will be happier if we think in such terms. When the joy of giving and sharing produces a thrill, the heart and soul have become more than golden—they are God-like.
the Methodist Episcopal Church in 1801 for the furnishing of preachers to this church. What does Bishop Jones mean by priority for Zion, in the face of these facts? The African Methodist Episcopal Church, as a separate denomination, is from the historical point of view the oldest independent Methodist organization among Negroes in activity, incorporated and connectional significance. But at that, the priority is only a matter of several years, and it has nothing to do with the contemporary status of the two organizations. One wonders if the age of an organization is worth a dispute or a difference of opinion beyond the establishment of the truth in history!
Because of the difference between the opinions of Bishop Jones and the factual statements herein and because he takes it upon himself to lecture the writer with a public correction, I also take the liberty of answering in the same way. I want to assure him also that; if he cares again to knock at my door, he will find me waiting to give a further reply—but only in the interest of establishment of the truth from the historical point of view. I have no interest in controversy as such.
Very truly yours,

BOOK REVIEWS
BOOK REVIEWS
(Mrs. Daisy M. Buchanan, 404 Patton Street, Knoxville, Tenn., Sales Agent.)
A pocket-sized edition of the poems of Frank A. Johnson, bound with an expensive celluseude cover, printed on good book stock in a clear readable manner, and comprising twenty-nine selections.
The thought of the author can best be expressed by quoting from one of his poems, entitled, "Artificial Men":
The cause of so much worldly sin,
living in,
Among this human throng
Full of so little of the right,
And so much of the wrong?"
"Why is it!" Is the dismal cry
The world around today;
Why should men in a christian
world,
Be denied of a place to stay?
Why can't men on land and sea
Forget subjective plans.
And realize that Christ should be
Vitalized in man?
Why doesn't the Christian church
be true
And in union, combat with sin,
Why should we hold our peace in
war
Like artificial men?
Men of purely carnal birth,
MUST be born again
To give that carral frame the right
Of a real and honest man.
Real enough to pay the price
Of a Christ-like christian life
Bold enough to turn our back
On the artificial life;
True enough, to keep the faith, Forever in our heart.
Forever in our heart.
And loyal enough to never fail
To do our Christian part.
"WHITE SUPREMACY" IS DEAD
By William Pickens
(For the A. N. P.)
"White Supremacy" was slain in Manchuria, and its funeral celebration is being held in Shanghai,—with all the most "superior" nation and races as mourners.
Its ghost may walk for a while but its body lies underground. The Japanese killed it. With all the evil things they are doing in their attack on China, that is the one good result they have achieved,—and it is almost, perhaps altogether, a compensation for the evil.
Even the suffering Chinese are finding themselves in this baptism of fire and broken steel, and never again will they be the same, tame, contemptible people which the westerner has conceived them to be. Do you not see? Even if the Chinese are overcome by Japanese power of science and organization, still those Chinese are finding out they, themselves, can fight. The best fighting man on earth today is the trained Japanese soldier, and the Chinese have proved themselves to be not a poor trial to Japan's fighting force. That means that even in defeat China is finding itself. There is often victory in defeat. The Chinese know, as the rest of the world knows, that if they can resist Japanese, they can resist any other single power. Whether they set out to do that or not, the Japanese are re-creating Asia.
And somebody needs to say the following, so we might as well say it: Our present western "sympathy" for the "poor Chinese" is thoroughly hypocritical. It is simply the reflection of our fear of, and our consequent psychological opposition to that advancing Japanese. Everything is "relative", according to Einstein, and our favor to Chinese is really our opposition to Japanese.
But for this "relativity" we would not care a fig about Chinese: we have treated them worse in our country than we dared to treat Japanese. Today it takes an act of congress to get a Chinaman the poor privilege of coming here to do acrobatics for us, or to slander his people by playing a treacherous" role in some of our movies. We are just plain "christian" liars, most of us, when we pretend to such tender-hearted interest, in those "noor Chinese". Why, we can sit and eat and see them starve by the millions in their famines.
In the immediate future the resisting Chinese are going to be a far greater threat to white domination in Asia than Japan ever could be. The very existence of our "Foreign Settlement" in Chinese territory belies our present crocodile tears over the Jap's unfairness to "helpless" China. China will no longer be helpless after they get through this "training match" against the Japanese.
"White Supremacav" is dead, tho its Ghost may walk for a while. Ghosts are like that, they will not let down, not at once.
A dollar, for ten hours in the sun, is precious; a dollar, got in the dark, which cannot be accounted for, is worse than want. Knotted hands tell of the one; nimbleness or nothing tells of the other.

DIGESTING THE NEWS
By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL
CREED OF POWER
Naturally I have followed all the details of that financial debacle, in Washington, affecting one of our greatest racial institutions. (Yes, both the insurance company and the school.) From among the mass of statements, and counter-statements, concerning the insurance company, I ran across this little statement:
"... Well, ... certainly raised hell with his two shares. . ."
If the conditions existed only in that one isolated case there would not be much cause for alarm but the condition there is only typical of what one observes going on in all parts of the country, not only within financial institutools but in our schools, fraternals, and yes, even amongst some of our newspapers, and politicians.
There are laws which attempt to curb the greed of wealth when it is obtained through an illegal manner but, apparently, there is nothing to restrain that greed for power that has wrecked more individuals, more countries and more nations than all other forces combined.
Merit, experience, nor consistency, seem to be recognized by those who are ruthlessly clamoring to usurp the power, position and prestige of those who have met success through years of toil and experience.
This seems to be the age of the chiseller! Instead, of looking

CRISPUS ATTUCKS AND THE
BOSTON MASSACRE
March 5, 1770 should be a redletter history in all Negro and American history. It was Monday night when the first act in the drama of the American Revolution began. When British soldiers appeared on King street, the people already angry because of unjust taxation without representation; became more excited and determined to fight for liberty and independence. Crispus Attucks, a former slave, led a little band of patriotic men against these foreign soldiers. He cried, "The way to get rid of these soldiers is to attack them!" It was more valor than decretion that these citizens charged this group. Crispus Attucks was the first to fall but his courage and daring aroused the great passion of this country.
A war had started that was to last seven long years. It was the birth of American Independence, with a black man's blood being shed first. Arnetta McNeil (10) Sixth Grade, Mott School.
HIS MOTHF"S PIES
A little boy with dancing eyes watched his mother bake several pies. At last she finished cooking them and placed them on a table to cool. She told the boy that he could eat a small pie that she had baked just for him. He was so anxious to taste these pies that he could hardly wait for them to cool. As soon as his mother left the kitchen he started eating. The more he ate, the sharper his appetite grew, so that he kept eating until his mother returned and found that all of her work had to be done over again.
She caught the boy and gave him a very sound spanking. His playmates heard his cries and laughed loudly at his punishment—this made him so anery that he beat up his pal boy who had led the others in rejoicing at his misfortune. Never again did he eat his mother's pies. He was cured. Do you think this experience would cure you?

around, finding or creating opportunities to build up, the chiseller (and they are to be found in all groups) spies an individual, concern, organization, political office or what not, decides to chisel in or the successful, with the usual result that eventually, all is lost.
Not since the days of slavery have there been so many opportunities to accomplish worthwhile things as there are today. With our group losing their jobs right and left and with millions unprovided for it, it quite apparent that the opportunities for constructive accomplishment are many and varied.
The opportunity does not mean however, to tear down the house that someone else has built, merely because possession of it cannot be gained, but it does mean to improve the house already built and to seek the isolated spots and erect other houses.
Being the possessor of a certain amount of money or other material wealth does not necessarily indicate that power should be vested in that person. It depends entirely on how that wealth was acquired and the particular ability knowledge or talent that the individual has for administrating the acquired, or desired, power in a humane, wise and efficient manner. Our race cannot afford to handle cap ourselves by depreciating our own assets but this we will surely do unless the greed of power is effectively curbed and restrained.
The father would have his daughter always immaculate. Her companions he sees as she cannot see them. She does not see them at all. Her eyes are not opened upon them with that view.
Men and women are poor creatures, and do not care to be stareed at through microscopes. Sore and faculty weary, they want to be humored and petted. In every man's heart are apartments forever locked, the keys forever lost, into which he himself never enters but by a skeleton.
There is nothing more accretive or cumulative than manliness. Every trial gives a new resource and cery conquest a new power. With each achievement accrues a premium.
Nothing to do is the worst want of nature, and the most exhausting. It tests severely the best minds and morals.

DOCTOR FAILS IN
DIAGNOSIS; MAN
RECOMMITTED, DIES
Dr. Tulloh of Freedmen's Hospital, Treats Man, Sends Him Away; Returns For the second time within a week a Freedmen's Hospital doctor was taken to task by Coroner Joseph A. Rodgers at the District lorgue Wednesday, when Dr. J.
Tullow of the emergency staff was scored by Coroner Rodgers for in-charging a patient who was later admitted to the hospital and led. The action arose during the quest of Joseph Turner, 60, of 318 Florida avenue, northwest, who succumbed at the hospital fonday as the result of injuries sustained when hit by an automobile at Seventh and T streets, northwest, on February 15.
In his testimony Dr. Tulloh tated that Turner was brought to the hospital suffering from lacerations of the forehead and nose and possible fracture of the nose, thinking the man's condition not serious, Dr. Tulloh discharged the patient after treatment, giving theick man to a cab-driver with orders to carry him to 316 Ninth street, northwest, the address given by the dazed man (Turner). The address proved a false one and the cab-driver returned the patient to the hospital in an unconscious condition.
Upon re-examination Dr. Tulloh said he found the man's condition serious and admitted him to the hospital. On February 18, Turner was admitted to a ward in charge of Dr. L. H. Harden who also testified. The man died Monday.
An autopsy performed by Dr. C. Murphy, deputy coroner, revealed that the man died from shock, hemorrhage and a fractured skull which had developed into pneumonia. When questioned by Coroner Rodgers, as to whether or not it was the policy of the hospital to let patients go out when brought to the hospital in an unconscious condition, Dr. Tulloh said that he discharged the man on recommendation of Dr. W. A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief.
The police record in the case called to give any report of the "bubby ride" taken by the patient.

Discusses Unemployment Of Negroes In The District Of Columbia
Speaking in the interest of the committee on the betterment of industrial conditions among Negroes, Frank D. McKinney, grand master of Masons, addressed the Baptist Ministers' Conference at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, Monday. In his discourse, Mr. McKinney outlined means by which the committee of which he is a member plans to combat unemployment among Negroes.
He declared that adoption of the slogan, "Don't Spend Your Money Where You Can't Work," and increased efficiency and service among your workers as a means of absolute essentiality will serve as a stepping stone to better positions and at the same time create a job for other Negroes. This progress will subsequently make the Negroes economically and industrially independent. The ministers pledged their moral support of the movement which is under the auspices of the Association for the Study of Negro History.
Rev. Oliver St. Paul Thompson, of Auburndale, Mass., preached the weekly sermon on the topic "Jesus." Rev. Thompson spoke of the past, present and future of Jesus as told in the Old and New Testaments. He took his text from the first chapter of Matthew, the twenty-first verse.

SUB-COMMITTEE TOLD OF UNEQUAL SCHOOL FUND
Delegation Protests One- Sided Ratio In 1933 Budget
Objections to the unequal distributions of school funds for 1933 were voiced by representatives of various organizations before the House Subcommittee on Appropriations, last Thursday.
The delegations objected to the use of the Old Business High School at Rhode Island avenue and Ninth street as an elementary school for colored pupils. The delegations also contended that the proposed ratio of 80 per cent for white schools and less than 20 per cent for colored should be equalized on the two-third and one-third basis on the basis of school population. Representative Cannon, Subcommittee chairman, stated that his committee was without power to increase the amount allotted to colored schools by the Bureau of the Budget. The delegations plan to carry the matter before the Senate Committee on Appropriations.
Perry W. Howard told the committee that if it was acting without power to change an item in the appropriations, that it might as well adjourn and go home. That he had no time to waste with a committee without power to act. Mr. Howard walked out, and Mr. Cannon ordered his remarks struck from the record.
Those to make a plea before the committee were Perry W. Howard. Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Mrs. Ethel Harris Grubbs, representing the college alumnae: Mrs. M. H. Skinner, J. A.

Fire Destroys Home of Sanders At Lincoln Park
Fire destroyed the residence of Mr. and Mrs. William Andrew Sanders, at Lincoln Park, Md., Monday morning. The building was a total loss.
Fire apparatus from Glendale responded but firemen were unable to save the building. The cause of the fire was thought to have been from the result of a short circuit in the electric current. The heavy snow, ice and intense cold hampered the firemen in their efforts to put out the fire. With the aid of neighbors the Sanders managed to save most of their household furniture.
DAISY LAMPKIN LAUNCHES 5,000 N.A.A.C.P. DRIVE
With the arrival of Mrs. Daisy E. Lampkin, of Pittsburgh, regular field director of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the annual drive for 5,000 members from the District of Columbia to complete the national quota of 50,000, in time for the National Conference in this city, May 17 to 22, opened with an assembly of the drive captains, Thursday, March 10, at Phyllis Wheaty Y.W.C.A.
"Just as scores of our people would be languishing in jails or be noted among the executed but for the work of branches and the national office, so, many innocent persons labor under the difficulties of poor inadequate and no legal defense to prove their innocence, because they are not members of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or because there is no branch active in their neighborhood," argued Mrs. Lampkins-
"Washington has just witnessed the prosecution of brutal policemen, and its colored citizens are confronted by limited school appropriations and the rise of racial antagonism respecting the location of schools for its children, hence it needs the organization and protection granted by the N.A.A.C.P." says Mrs. Lampkins, who is enthusiastic over the possibilities of the work to enlist 5,000 new members here.
Public Meeting
The next move towards arousing public interest in the enrollment of the 5,000 new members for the District branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will be held March 5, at 8 p.m., at the Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Rhode Island avenue at Ninth street, northwest; at which time prominent speakers will outline "Why you should join!"
From this meeting the 500 recruiting officers will go forth directed by twenty-five captains under the regional director, to enroll the wise people of the city and vicinity.
Of the twenty five captains who will conduct the drive, 17 have been selected to date as follows:
Miss E. F. G. Merritt, Mrs. M. A. Francis, Mrs. Louise E. Pinkett, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Mrs. Martha McAdoo, Mrs. C. W.

SECOND SECTION
WELFARE COUNCIL TO BE ORGANIZED HERE THIS YEAR
WELFARE COUNCIL TO BE ORGANIZED HERE THIS YEAR
A committee looking to the organization of a Negro Community Welfare Council here met Wednesday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. and after hearing a report of the investigating committee on the need and possibility of such an organization, set April 27 as the date for delegates from the various welfare organizations now here to meet and discuss the feasibility of a permanent organization.
Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., told of his investigation of Jewish organizations in the United States. He said there are 55 city welfare councils of Jews in this country which look after the welfare interest of the Jews, and not a single council among Negroes anywhere in this country. There are three times as many Negroes as Jews in this country.
Major Johnson elaborated on the council in Newark, N.J., and said that it was looked upon as the ideal one among the Jews. He outlined a budget amounting to about $7,000 for a staff and quarters for the council for the first year.
While we have six welfare organizations in the Community Crest here, there is much work to be done among Negroes to which little attention is given," said MaJ. Johnson.
Those present at the meeting: Wednesday, were Maj. Roberts, of the Seventh Street Salvation Army Home; Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, of the Community Centers Department of the public schools; Mrs. Alma J. Scott, director of Mother-Child Center; Mrs. M. A. McAdoe, execu a secretary of the Y.W.C. A.; Mrs. S. F. Stewart, of Stoddard Baptist Home; Mrs. Grace Conover, head worker of Southeast House; C. C. Johnson, executive secretary, Y.M.C.A.; W. W. O. Claytor, J. A. G. LuValle, Maj. O. Attwood, Edward Baker, and John Davis.
Garland Mackey, of the Washington Tribune, was named chairman of the Washington Press Association, which was organized here Saturday night.
Newspaper men of the District met at Harrison's Cafe, Florida avenue, northwest, following an invitation by Mr. Mackey. Ware Reeves, of the Washington Times was named secretary.
A permanent organization will be perfected at a later meeting which is scheduled to be held March 19. The purpose of the association is to foster Negro journalism in the National Capital.
Those present at the meeting included Henry P. Slaughter, Odd Fellows Journal; West A. Hamilton, Washington Sentinel; Wallie Reeves, Washington Times; Eugene Davidson, Washington correspondent; F. Morris Murray, J. A. G. LuValle, Arthur Carter, C. Leslie Frazier, Washington Tribune.
Others to become identified with the association but were unable to be present were Robert Pelham and John Davis, Capital News; Service; Emory Smith and Edwin. Sheen, Howard University; Robert Nelson, Washington Eagle; and Edward Baker, Afro-American.
