Pres. Hoover May Carry Only Two States Tuesday LITERARY DIGEST GIVES ROOSEVELT FOUR HELD IN STABBING CASE 7 CENTS PER COPY LITERARY DIGEST GIVES ROOSEVELT 41 OF 48 STATES Out of a Total of 3,064,487 Votes, Roosevelt Has 1,-715,789,Hoover1,150,398 By J. A. G. LuVALLE In its nation-wide poll on the Presidential candidates this year, The Literary Digest, in its final issue Wednesday says Roosevelt has 41 States and President Hoover only 7, with a total of 3,064,487 votes. The Digest returns gives Governor Roosevelt 1,715,789, President Hoover 1,150,398, Thomas, Socialist, 148,089, and the remainder is divided among Foster, 15,743, Upshaw, 13,900; Coxey, 4,300; Reynolds, 1,906; and miscellaneous, 14,302 Governor Roosevelt's percentage of the grand total is 55.90; President Hoover's percentage is only 37.53; Norman Thomas percentage is 4.84. The 41 States for Roosevelt would give him 474 electoral votes while Hoover's seven States give him only 57 electoral votes. Analyzing the poll we find that more people who voted for Hoover in 1928 are going to vote for Roosevelt in 1932 than those who voted for Smith in 1928 are going to vote for Hoover. There is a record of 638,250 Hoover voters in 1928, who say they are voting for Roosevelt this year. That is 37.19 per cent of his entire vote. Democrats in 1928 who propose to vote for Hoover this year number only 75,793, or 6.15 per cent of his entire vote. While the vote for Norman Thomas, the Socialist, shows that 68,566 were Republicans, 33,995 former Democrats, and 30,250 who did not vote in 1928. You can readily see that more of the Tho- (Continued on page two) MURRRAY CASINO ATTRACTS LARGE HALLOWEEN CROWD Morning Star Lodge of Elks Awards Auto, Ending Membership Drive Halloween night started off with a bang. Colorful crowds thronged the streets and U street, Florida avenue and Seventh street were in their glory, until the rain came, about eleven o'clock, and sent the gleeful revelers scurrying for shelter. The New Murray Casino attracted a large throng of merry-makers, who streamed into and out of the newly decorated recreation center and dance ball. Hartwell Cook's broadcasting orchestra, which made such a tremendous hit over WRC, enlivened the funsters and patrons with the sweet strains of music, many being his own compositions, including "Stop the Sun, Stop the Moon." There were additional entertainers in the persons of Robert Tyler, tap dancer and Miss Jewel Thompson, who portrayed her excellent style of dancing. Alden Garrison, female impersonator, was the centre of attraction, dressed as a woman in the latest style of velvet attire. "Her" face was powdered just right, the couge was not too heavy, the evening dress, exposed "her" beautifully round shoulders and "she" only danced with the men. Demure, petite, attractive and very feminine could be applied to "her" Adults Die Without The police allowed no adults to mask this year, which detracted some from the usual "mystery" as so who is behind the mask. As a whole it was; grand and glorious Halloween, the rain notwithstand- mz. Many parting were held over the city, the outstanding attractions being the "street party" held on T street; the Elks' ball and auto drawing at the auditorium, and the dance at the Masonic Temple.

An adverse ruling in District Supreme Court, Monday, virtually ended the hopes of Government employees obtaining their "accrued" leave this year, or at least, until the present economy law is changed. Justice Oscar R. Luhring, before whom Attorneys William E. Leahy and William J. Hughes, Jr., had argued that their client, Alfred Gregory, an employee of the Navy Yard, was being deprived of a "vested right" when his superiors refused to permit him to take "accrued leave," ended the fight with a ruling that dismissed Gregory's attack upon the Government's answer to his suit. the leave, and in its answer challenged the right of Gregory to sue the Government, although the Government was not made a party to the suit. Secretary of the Navy Adams and officers of the Navy Yard were named as defendants. Another attack by Mr. Wilson upon the suit was the ability of Gregory to seek another remedy. He had brought suit for mandamus to compel the granting of his leave and the Government claimed this was not the proper action to take. Attorneys for Gregory intimated they would take an appeal to the Court of Appeals. The "accrued" leave clause affects many thou- Through Assistant United States Attorney John J. Wilson, the Government claimed it had the right, under the present law, to refuse CASINO ORCHESTRA BROADCASTS EACH WEEK OVER WRC Hartwell Cook, Directing the Orchestra, First to Go on This Station The New Murray Casino Orchestra, under the direction of Hartwell Cook, broke into the broadcasting arena Friday afternoon over WRC, from 5:45 to 6 o'clock. This is the first colored orchestra to break into this station. And what a hit it did make. The music was so very pleasing, along with the vocal assistance of the excellent voice of Barrington Guy, that they soon won acclaim. The program rendered Friday The program rendered Friday was as follows: Theme song, "Rhythm Train," one of Mr. Cook's own compositions; "Say It Ain't So," "Underneath the Harlem Moon,"-another of the leader's compositions. Barrington Guy sang Mr. Cook's prize song, "Stop the Sun, Stop the Moon," "St. Louis Blues," and the theme song, "Rhythm Train." The orchestra has a contract with the Manhattan Radio and Auto Store, to broadcast each Friday afternoon over WRC at 5:45. This week's program promises to be a popular one. Following "Rhythm Train," the theme song, "Ain't Got a Gal in This Town" will be rendered, followed by "Sweet Sue," Mr. Cook's own arrangement. Barrington Guy will sing another of Mr. Cook's compositions, "My Phantom Love." Another number will be "Mule Face Stomp."

White Youth Cut During Corner Gang Altercation James Jackson, 15, of 300 block of Tenth street, southeast, was arrested at the Fourth Precinct Monday and charged with assault in connection with the cutting of Robert Loveless, 17-year-old white boy, of 600 block of South Carolina avenue, southeast, earlier in the day.

EUEL LEE TELLS JUDGE HE IS INNOCENT I.L.D. Attorneys Will Take Case to State Court of Appeals for 3rd Time BALTIMORE, Md.—A most dramatic scene took place in court at Towson near here Saturday when Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) jumped to his feet and declared his innocence of the crime of which he was convicted and cried, "Everything was framed up. I didn't do it, and I am not the only man who has been framed down there." Lee has been twice convicted of killing Green K. Davis, a Taylorsville (Md.) farmer, in October, last year. His wife and two daughters also were murdered, but Lee was tried only for the murder of Davis. The hearing for the new trail opened with Chief Judge Offutt and Associate Judges Walter Prestno and C. Gus Grayson, on the bench, and was based on three points: 1. That the jury which tried Lee the second time had been improperly drawn. 2. That Negroes were segregated in the courtroom, courthouse and on the courthouse grounds. 3. That the court overruled certain objections made by the defense during the course of the trial. After denying the motion for a new trial, Judge Offutt turned to Lee and asked whether he had anything to say before sentence was pronounced. Lee jumped to his feet and de(Continued on page 2) Taxi Driver Robbed by Man Who Wanted Change Tomnie Wright, taxi driver, of 300 block of Seventh street, northwest, reported to Second precinct police the robbery of $2.25 from him early this week. Wright, told police, he was hired by a man at Fifth and M streets, ordered to drive to Fourth and Ridge streets where the man got out, and asked him for change for a dollar. As Wright gave, him the change, he was confronted by a pistol and his money demanded of him. After taking the $2.25 the robber escaped by running down a nearby alley. Wright gave police a description of the robber. Bitten by Dog While Playing Near His Home While playing in the alley in rear of 628 Q street, northwest, Kenneth Lewis, II, was bitten by a dog, said by police, to be owned by Andrew Woods, of 441 O street, northwest. The boy was taken to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment. Ninth Precinct Officer Disperses Crowd With Revolver Policeman Elmer A. Shoemaker, white, of the Ninth Precinct, faces trial in justice court of Fairfax County, Virginia, on a charge of assaulting Arthur W. Hawkins. The charge was placed against him after he slugged Hawkins following a traffic accident. The altercation occurred Friday on the Columbia pike; on the outskirts of Alexandria. The officer, it was reported, was riding with his brother-in-law, Grady C. Cooper, of the 700 block of Eighth street, northeast, when their car collided with an automobile driven by Hawkins. An argument ensued, and the policeman, it is said, wielded a blackjack, rendering Hawkins unconscious. Several other colored persons were attracted to the scene by the alteration, but were forced to leave when the officer is said to have threatened them with his revolver. County police were called and placed Shoemaker and Cooper under arrest. The policeman was released under $1,000 ball on a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, while Cooper posted $50 collateral on a reckless driving charge. MORNING STAR NOMINATES OFFICERS Title and Keys to Auto Prize Turned Over to Wm. P. Davis, Winner Morning Star Lodge of Elks nominated members to fill its roster of officers at its meeting Monday night. The election will take place the 6th of December at the home, Fifteenth and Q streets northwest. Those nominated are William B. Harris and Dr. Leo Holton for exalted ruler, to take the place of John T. Rhines, who declined to run. Much interest was manifested in the nominies for this office. Mr. Harris received a big hand when Samuel E. Jones placed his name in nomination. Mr. Harris was formerly exalted ruler of the lodge. He rendered excellent service and proved to be a fine executive. He has been on the trustee board for a number of years and is considered a keen, calm, conservative business man. Many members who know him say that he is the man to take the place at this crucial time of the economic setback. Dr. Leo Holton is also a former exalted ruler, preceding Mr. Rhines. He, too, has a strong following, and if chosen, will no doubt fully justify his re-election. The next office is that of esteemed leading knight. George B. Clark, the present loyal knight, was nominated for that position. For loyal knight, Franklin B. Parker, Charles O. Sweatt, and John H. Sims was nominated. For lecturing knight, Charles Davis and Morris Wooden. For esquire, only one person was nominated, William Milliard, present incumbent. For financial secretary, Coztez Peters was named. For treasurer, Henry Washington; for interior guard, Alfred Morris; for tyler, Robert H. Robinson. For trustee, to succeed Dr. Payton, who declines to run again, seven are named: Charles Grant, Alfred Selby. Maurice Spencer, Joseph Imes, Joseph Bingham, William Newman, and Charles Richardson.

Berry 196 WHAT WILL THE NEGRO GET FROM EITHER HAND? NEGRO PASSENG'RS FORCED TO REAR OF EASTERN BUSSES Large Coach Company Assigns All Colored Passengers to Certain Seats By CHARLES COOPER A policy of discrimination is practiced daily by the Great Eastern Coach Company with offices in Washington, D.C., and many, other principal cities of the eastern section of the country. In the company's busses the seats are numbered from 1 to 29, and the driver assigns all colored persons to seats only below 16. This condition was known to be in existence in Southern cities, but last week it was revealed to be practiced in Northern towns also. At the rest stops in Aberdeen, Maryland, and Oxford, Pa., there are signs directing the colored passengers to rest rooms in the rear. The colored passengers are also made to dine in the rear at Aberdeen. Many of these busses are hired in the South to transport squads of football players to and from playplaces. I am of the opinion that if the colored people are not good enough to ride on these coaches without discrimination, they should not hira them. The company also employs porters to work on the coaches. The porters are not paid a salary, but must live off tips which in most cases are insufficient to provide eats for the porter. The drivers o fthe busses are provided with rooms to sleep in, but the porters are not. Several weeks ago, a North Carolina undertaker travelling from New York City to his home in Durham, was given Seat No. 29, while plenty of seats in the front section of the bus were available. When colored passengers apply for tickets at the Northern cities they inform them that all seats are reserved, but without fail give them tickets to seats below 16, while quite often only two or three front seats have been purchased. Officials of the company deny this is a discrimination policy, but continue the practice of allotting colored passengers only certain seats. Found guilty of killing William Roy, last May, 30, at 428 Q street, northwest, Alonzo Taylor, was sent to prison for 10 years by Justice O'Donoghue in Djstrict Supreme Court Friday.

TRAFFIC ACCIDENT PROVES FATAL TO AGED MAN Lorenzo Warfield, 75, Struck While Crossing a Street in Blinding Rain Lorenzo T. Warfield, 75, who was struck by a truck driven by John Thurston, October 17, died at Garfield Hospital, Sunday, the 30th. At the Coroner's inquest Tuesday it was brought out that Thurston was going east on Harvard street, northeast, and made a left-hand turn, north into Eleventh street. Policema C. G. Mihill, of the Tenth Precinct, testified that Thurston told him that he saw the man standing on the curb as he was turning into Harvard street, but owing to his sight being obstructed by the post holding the windshield of his truck, he did not see him after he turned into Harvard street. Officer Mihill also stated that one, Charles L. Frazier, told him that he drove up behind the truck and saw the man step off the curb with an umbrella held down over his face, as it was raining very hard at the time. Mr. Warfield was struck by the right front fender, knocked to the street, breaking his 'right leg below the knee and lacerating his head on the right side, which was sewn up at the hospital. As Mr. Frazier was out of the city and could not testify, John W. Ardell, attorney for Thurston, said he would wait to hear Mr. Frazier's testimony before putting Thurston on the stand. The case was continued until Mr. Frazier could be reached in New York and could return and testify. Child, 6, Seriously Hurt in Automobile Collision Tinney Berry, six years old, was in a critical condition at Freedmen's Hospital early this week following a head-on automobile collision near Indianhead, Md. A woman, Margaret Tetten, 33, white, was killed in the smashup. Four other occupants of the car received minor injuries and were treated at the hospital. Falls Down Stairs Evelyn Wright, 28, of the 200 block of Morgan street, northwest. was treated at Freedman's Hospital early this week for a sprained ankle sustained during a fall down a flight of stairs at her home. She was later removed to her home. THREE WOMEN AND ONE MAN HELD IN DEATH OF GARNER Mother and Daughter Held by Coroner's Jury for Action of Grand Jury Mother and daughter were held with another woman and a man by the Coroner's jury, Tuesday, for the action of the grand jury in the death of Walter Carter, white, truck driver, Friday morning. The four persons held were George Albert Gaither, alias James Leroy Hemsley, 20, of 26 I street, south-west; Mrs. Mamie L. Gatewood, 54, mother; and Miss Margurite Gatewood, 28, daughter, of 487 Cullinanes court, south-west; and Miss Ellen Witherspoon, 39, also of the Cullinanes court address. The story as told by various witnesses at the Coroner's inquest, Tuesday, is that Walter Garner went to 1313 U street, southeast, Thursday night, and after drinking with two other white men, he and Frank Ricker left in Garner's cap to go after some grapes. After getting the grape they, wandered around awhile and stepped at 481 Cullinanes court, southwest, at the home of Mrs. Mamie L. Gatewood. Garner sent out and secured a pint of whiskey which was consumed by those present. Garner pulled Ellen Witherspoon into the front room and was tussling with her when George Galther went into the room and separated them. As Garner went out of the front door he caught Margurite Gatewood by the arm and pulled her out with him. George Gaither, boy friend of Margurite, followed and struck Garner with his fist. They boxed for a minute or two, when Gaither is alleged to have closed in on Garner and stabbed him with a pocket knife. Garner returned to his car and drove a short distance, when Ricker said that he pulled over to the curb and parked, saying that he was all in. Ricker said that he thought Garner was drunk and was going to sleep. He left the car and went on back to Anacostia. Mrs. Garner testified that her husband came home Friday morning about 5 o'clock, and when she found he was stabbed, asked him who did it. He told her that a mob did it on the bridge over the Anacostia river. He would not give any names. He was carried to the hospital, where he died shortly thereafter from a stab wound in the heart, and breaking down of the lung. Gaither was remanded to jail and the three women went to the house of detention. Another case of white men running after Negroes after dark.

Harris, local attorney, with offices in the 600 block of F street, northwest, was arraigned for a preliminary hearing in police court yesterday on a charge of larceny after trust. Judge John P. McMahon continued the hearing until Tuesday, and Attorney Harris was released under bond. Albert Wanzer is the complainant in the case. Morning Star Elks Band in Fraternal Parade Approximate 100,000 spectators lined the streets Thursday night to view the fraternal parade which was eight divisions long.

Many spectators broke ranks when this band came along and ten policemen were called into duty to restore order. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL RAPS GOV. WHITE FOR SLACK DUTY ON LYNCHING CINCINNATI, O. — Condemnation of Governor George White, of Ohio, "for his refusal to request the Attorney General to send a representative to prosecute vigorously the accused in the Ironton lynching, after having been urgently requested to do so," is contained in the resolutions passed by the Ohio State Conference of the N.A.

EXCITING RACE DEVELOPS IN POPULARITY CONTEST Emma Green and Helen Eagles Have Private Battle During Week Vivian Turner Makes Good Showing The close of the second week of the Lichtran Theatres' contest to select 'Miss Washington of 1932,' finds two winsome young ladies fighting it out for top honors, and a host of new entrants acting quite dagerously—making a situation which promises that anything is liable to happen within the next few days. Mrs. Emma Green, who lives at 319 Eighth street, southeast, has received a grand total of 592,000 credits, while Miss Helen Eagles, of 1320 S street, northwest, has rolled up 535,000 credits. Meanwhile Mrs. Vivian Turner, of 1716 Second street, northwest, a new entrant, jumped right up among the leaders by compiling 120,000 credits during the week. Other Spurts Other sensational spurs were evidenced by Fannie Offutt, 3331 Eleventh street, northwest, who received 60,000 this week, and Mrs. Agnes Anderson, 504 Twenty-fourth street, northwest, who added 50,000 to her total. Other votes resulted in new names for the list of candidates. Miss Jenoblie Gra. of 1634 Sixth street, northwest; Mrs. Charity R. Craig, 3002 Stanton road, southeast; Mrs. Lottie Richardson, 1700 Second street, northwest; Miss Melissa Newkirk, 1954 Second street, northwest; Miss Katherine Brown, 1319 S. street, northwest; and Mrs. Hazel Luck, better known as "Lady Luck" of 1823 Twelfth street, northwest, all received some nice new votes. Open Race Anything is apt to happen in this race. A hundred or so votes will decide the contest for the candidate who does not get too far behind. How many candidates are lining up large numbers of votes, however? That's the question. But, it doesn't pay to hold back now because the credits for votes get smaller each week. The candidates must make hay while the sun shines. 3.000 Credits This week's votes will carry 3,000 credits each. You will have to work harder to catch those in front of you, but the reduction in the credits each week will protect you against the last minute attack of some new entrant who enters the last week or so, ready to take the rrizes, after the hard work has been done by the early entrants. Of course we have no quarrel with late entrants. All are welcome, but we have fixed credits so as to aid early starters. Prizes are on display at the Lincoln and Republic Theatres. Pick your prize! Tell your friends! Get busy!

Wallace, Dickerson, Iowa Stars, Barred From Grid Game FOOTBALL Howard vs. Morgan Saturday, Nov. 5, 1932 at Howard University Stadium HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (with Identification Card)...25c ADMISSION (Except Howard-Lincoln Game)...55c Howard vs. Lincoln November 24 at HOWARD UNIVERSITY STADIUM TWELVE GEO. WASHINGTON BARRED 2 NEGRO GRIDMEN Iowa Coach Asserts He Was Warned Not to Use Colored Players For the second time within the last eleven months, the green-eyed monster of race prejudice crept into the athletic ranks of one of Washington's outstanding colleges. Friday night, when two colored boys were denied the privilege of playing with their team against George Washington University. Barred from the game, the youths, Wilbur (Windy) Wallace, former Armstrong High School athletic luminary of a few years ago, and Voris Dickerson, of Lincoln, Mo., viewed the game from the bench. Dressed in civilian clothes, Wallace and Dickerson sat on the players' bench with the team and watched Iowa go down in bitter defeat. Only the fact that their skins were of a darker color than those of their teammates and of their opponents kept the stars out of the battle. Deprived of the youths' services, the Iowa team was beaten without being seriously threatening. This marked the first game this season that Wallace and Dickerson have not seen action with the team. Connecting Reports Early last week the Tribune exerted every effort to reach some George Washington official to ascertain whether or not the university objected to playing against colored players, but each effort proved futile. The president was out of the city, Coach Pixlee could not be located. Finally, an assistant coach, who refused to give his name, answered the phone but refused to state whether or not his team would play against colored boys. At George Washington University, Friday, a few hours before the game, Coach Jim Pixlee and other officials denied to daily reporters that the boys had been barred. However, Coach Ossie Solem, Iowa's mentor, declared several hours before game time that he had no intention of playing Wallace and Dickerson. He added: "That is the custom here, is it not? I had no idea when we contracted to play this game that any of my boys would be barred." Coach Solem further stated that Coach Pixlee had approached him at the Tulsa game (the Saturday before Iowa's game) and advised him not to use his two colored stars. Solem agreed that under no circumstances would he do so. Pixie Denies story Denying the latter story, Coach Pixie, speaking to reporters before the game, said: "I have no has been made, so far as I know the university football team will play its opponents' team as it is. I do not know that any colored men are on the squad. No request ahs been made, so far as I know that no colored man be played. Of course, I have not the final authority" Other officials at George Washington denied that they knew colored football players were on the Iowa team. Many colored persons who generally witness George Washington's games at the stadium refused to attend after learning that the university was barring the colored players. Last year, McKinley Technical High School refused to play against a colored star on a Pennsylvania high school team, and the game was cancelled. Wallace is a former four-letters man at Armstrong, and a sophomore at Iowa. Dickerson, who was recently shifted from an end position to halfback, is a 175-pounder from Lincoln, Missouri. Tiger Freshmen Lose to 24th Infantry Eleven TUSKEGEE, Ala. — The allfreshman team of Tuskegee lost to the 24th Infantry eleven in the Alumni Bowl, Saturday. The score was 6-0. Williams Leads Bowlers in Win Over Marylanders In a closely-contested three-game total pin bowling game, the Washington Victors defeated the Maryland champions by 39 sticks, in Baltimore, Thursday.

The game marked the second South Atlantic High School Conference loss suffered by the Red and Black squad this fall. The Howardites tallied 18 points in the opening period and the remainder in the second, while the Poets were unable to penetrate the danger territory of the Wilmington boys until the final half. Matahews, oPet quarterback, scored the first Dunbar touchdown after a series of line bucks had put the oval in position. Late in the fourth quarter Cutie Jackson raced 35 yards for the second score after receiving a 16-yard pass from Matthews. Neither team was able to register an extra point after the six touchdowns.

Rennaissance Five Scores Over Dodgers in Opener NEW YORK—The Renaissance Big Five took the measure of the Brooklyn Dodgers by a 28-15 count before a wildly cheering crowd welcoming the Rens in their first home game of the season, Sunday night. Cooper, the big center of the colored champions, was the star performer of the evening, and was high man in the scoring. Personally he accounted for 12 of the points scored. Yancey was next, and Bruiser Saitch third in points scored. For the Brooklyn team, Bowden was high man and tied with Williams with six points each. During the first half, the Rens took things easy, opening up the full strength of their attack in the closing period. During this period, Holt and Smith were put into the game, replacing Ricks and Cooper. Smith, a newcomer from Cleveland, soon demonstrated to the crowd his showmanship and playing ability and won a warm place for himself. To Guide Seasiders in Classic THE BASEBALL TEAM OF THE YEAR THE BASEBALL TEAM PORTERFIELD HARRIS. Hampton quarterback, who is expen annual gridiron clash of the school next Saturday. Lions, West Virg For Indoor N Atantic City Hampton quarterback, who is expected to star against Howard in the annual gridiron clash of the schools at the Polo Grounds in New York next Saturday. Lions, West Virginia State Prime For Indoor Night Game at Atantic City, Saturday ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.—Atlantic City, the "Playground of the World," is prepared to entertain the biggest winter crowd in the history of the resort, Saturday, November 12, when the fair "City by the Sea" will be host to a brilliant throng of visitors to the Lincoln University-West Virginia State College football game. Interest throughout the East indicates a record week-end crowd. The game will be played in the fifteen-million-dollar Atlantic City Auditorium. The kick-off is slated for 8 o'clock sharp, and will mark the beginning of what Atlantic Cityites have dubbed the "New Classic." It will be the first game between colored colleges indoors, at night. The game should furnish thrills galore. While no championship is at stake, the teams are about equal, with West Virginia ruling as a slight favorite because of being a veteran organization, and for having a more impressive record for the year. Coach Ham, Hamblin, of West Virginia, will present a formidable array in Kenny Jackson at quarter; Jack Ward, Handelier and Rocky Moore in the back field; Lanky Stewart and Jelly Lowe at ends; Scott and Darwin, guards; Ware and Sparkman, tackles; and Pud Carrington, center, with a wealth of fine displacement material. The Lincoln team's chances are uncertain. Following the shellacking administered the Lion pack by Morgan, Spank Smith, the Lion coach, has been experimenting and is inclined to favor a heavier team. In the new backfield the coach is Baby Walcott and Charlie Cross in Exhibition Bobby Mosely, amateur welterweight, of North Carolina, meets Carl Day, District amateur middle-weight, in one of the exhibition boxing bouts to be staged at the Washington auditorium tonight (Friday). In another bout, Baby Walcott, of Baltimore, vest-pocket edition of the old Von Baton demon, squares off with Charles Cross, flashy Philly bantam. There will be 45 rounds of boxing and the two afore-mentioned bouts threaten to steal the show. Stadium Bearcats in Fourth Straight Victory The local Stadium Bearcats, after being held in the first quarter by a stubborn Lionell line suddenly came to life in the second quarter after Quigley intercepted a pass deep in his territory and skirted around right end 65 yards for a touchdown. After that brilliant play the Bearcats ran roughshod over the plucky Lionell team, running up a 24 to 6 score. Ox Walker plunged through the Bearcat line in the third quarter, scoring the lone touchdown for the Lionells and also the only touchdown scored against the Bearcats this season. This was the Bearcats' fourth straight victory. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1932 10 ected to star against Howard in the s at the Polo Grounds in New York Virginia State Prime Fight Game at by, Saturday using Homer Ashby and Ike Harrison, last year's varsity ends. Both of these men are big and fast and have been ripping the scrub lines to shreds in practice this week. Alston, a big freshman, from Philadelphia, seems slated for the fullback job. The quartet is rounded out by McFadden at quarterback. McFadden is a husky white lad, playing his first major football, but his speed, weight, fight and gameness have given him a rating with the veteran Tick Coleman. On the line the coach has been using a combination composed of Brute James at center; Tiger Scott, of Atlantic City; and Veney, a 240-pound crusher from Baltimore, at guards; Captain Sugar Kane and Carroll, tackles; Frye, Perkins and Fields, the latter a newcomer, on the wings.

Alabama High School Chalks Up Fourth Win MONTGOMERY, Ala.-The Baby Hornets, high school eleven of the Alabama State Teachers' College, chalked up their fourth victory of the season, Friday afternoon when they defeated the Dunbar High School eleven of Bessemer by a 27-6 score. Coached by G. H. Lockhart, the Baby Hornets were too much for the well-drilled but light Bessemer team of Coach T. J. Knox. Clerks Impressive in 11-6 Victory Over Douglass High Team Using a combination running and aerial attack, the Cardozo High School eleven picked the feathers off the Douglass Ducks to the merry tune of 11-6 in the school's home coming contest at Walker Stadium, Friday. Playing before the most rabid, if not the largest crowd which has witnessed a high school grid game in the stadium this season, the Clerks flashed a warning to their chief competitors that they are taking this business of football seriously this year. The Clerks registered a decided edge over the Monumental City gridders in scrimmage play, gaining 15 first downs to the Ducks' five. In the air Cardozo and Doughlass were almost even. The Clerks attempted six passes, and completed two, while the Ducks tossed eleven aerials, five of which were good. Early in the contest the Clerks penetrated deep into the visitors' territory. After an exchange of punts and Cardozo had lost 13 yards on a fumble, Lamar booted to the Ducks' 26-yard line. A Douglass end was caught clipping, and the resultant 25-yard penalty placed the oval on the Ducks' one-yard stripe from where Nixon punted weakly, the Clerks gaining possession of the pigskin on the 13-yard line. In three plunges, Lamar and Lucas failed to make a first down by inches, and once more Nixon kicked out. Robinson fumbled the punt and the Ducks owned the ball in midfield as the period ended. Opening the second quarter, Robinson and Lamar collaborating in a series of end runs and off-tackle plays carried the oval to the Ducks' 30-yard line. Nixon dropped back to punt for the Ducks, and a bad pass from center got away from him, rolling behind the goal line, where he was tackled for a safety. A sensational end run by Robinson, and a 10-yard pass, which was declared good when a Douglass man interfered, gave the Clerks the ball on the visitors' 28-yard stripe late in the quarter. An aerial, Lamar to Lucas, advanced the ball to the 16-yard line, and three plunges carried it to the 6-yard stripe as the half ended, depriving the Clerks of a touchdown. Returning to the game with renewed vigor, the Ducks rushed the oval to the Clerks' 46-yard line, from where Nixon punted to the end zone. Lamar, punting for Cardozo, kicked straight upward and the Ducks owned the oval on the 31-yard line. In four line bucks, Poole and Franklin advanced the ball to the 12-yard stripe. As the quarter ended the Clerks had punted out to the 29-yard mark. Poole's plunge and a 15-yard penalty gave the Ducks the ball on Cardozo's 1-yard line, from where Franklin dived on over the first play. The place kick for the extra point was broken up. After the next kick-off, the Clerks, via a passing attack which found Robinson on the passing end and Lucas and Lamar alternately doing the receiving, brought the pigskin to the visitors' four-yard mark. Here Lamar plunged off-tackle for a touchdown and Robinson added the extra point with a sweeping end run. In a desperate effort to win the battle, Coach Gibson, of Douglass, substituted quarterback after quarterback in the last period to shift his plays. The final score, a safety, was registered in the last two minutes of play after Lamar had put Cardozo out of danger by punting from behind his own goal to midfield, the Ducks having threatened with a series of passes which carried them to the four-yard line. Teachdowns—Lamar, Nixon. Point after teachdowns—Robinson. Safeties—Coleman. Substitutions: Cardono-Tolson for Henry, Coleman for Weel, Telerow for Telson.

Last Minute Drive of Bears Fails as Field Goal Goes Wild BALTIMORE, Md.—The former champion elevens tied in the most spectacular and thrilling gridiron battle of the season as the Hampton Ironmen and the Morgan Bears clashed at Bugle Field in Baltimore, Saturday. Over 3,500 enthusiastic fans thrilled and cheered as the terrific battle was being waged before their eyes. The first period was marked by excellent defense work by both teams. Following the first 12-yard gain by Conrad around right end, the Bears attempted a gain via the forward-pass route. They were successful in gaining 15 yards. An exchange of punts followed. Conrad received a Hampton punt for a 38-yard gain from which point Troupe received a lateral pass from Conrad and ran around right end for the first score of the game. The half ended after strong defensive playing by both teams. The Ironmen lived up to their name and held the ferocious Bears to short gains of 3 and 5 yards. White rang up the six-pointer for the Ironmen when he recovered a Hampton punt, which the umpire ruled Conrad had touched in the end zone, tying the score 6 to 6. In the last few minutes to play, the Bears put on a drive to score again and marched the ball from their own 10-yard line to the Ironmen's 6-yard line (Cottman having gained 20-yards when he received a pass from Conrad) where they were held by the Iron wall of Hampton. Determined to break the tie, the Bears tried an unsuccessful field goal just as the whistle sounded, which ended the game. MORGAN HAMPTON Cottman L.E. White Williams L.T. Parham Rosedom L.G.

PLEASANT PLAINS CRUSH MONARCHS Although the hunting season has not officially opened, the Plainsmen went hunting and returned from Anacostia Sunday with the pelts of the Monarch A.C. The score was 26 to 0. The victory puts a firmer foundation under the Plainsmen for their perch atop the District Grid Leagua. Hayes, fullback, started the scoring, spinning off tackle for a tally from the fifteen-yard mark. Jim Gray added the extra point via right guard. Before this second quarter ended the Plainsmen drove within scoring distance again, Red Pine Armstrong, Gray, and Hayes alternating in picking up yardage. Gray finally smashed tackle for six yards and the second marker. No point after touchdown. The Monarchs came to life in the third period and for a while it looked like a good game was in the making for the last half, but the effect of the drug soon wore off against the steady onslaught of the Maroon crushers. Four minutes before the game ended Big Mace Jefferson, Plains right end, dropped back to heave a perfect fifty-five-yard pass. Gray sprinted down the field to receive it on the eight-yard line and dashed the remaining distance to score untouched. The last two minutes of play were spasmodic. Plains kicked to Monarch, who muffed the ball in midfield, Plains recovering and advancing to the twelve-yard line in two plays. Gray dropped back, shot a pass over center which met Jelly Jackson, fast Maroon left end, who was en route to the Monarchs' goal line. He did not let a little thing like catching a pass interfere with his trip to the goal. Scoops Johnson, one of the smartest little field generals in the loop, slipped through left guard for the extra point. Hunter, Kelly and Barnes, Plains backs, showed up well. The forward wall is showing improvement. Captain Williams, in center; the Gordon-Jordan combination in the tackles; and Lewis and Thomas in the guards present a bulwark. Coach Lee is grooming reserve linesmen for the strenuous schedule facing the Pleasant Plains squad. Sunday, November 6, their opponents will be the strong Saint Cyrian eleven; Monday, they journey to Fredericksburg, Va., to be the friendly enemies of the Fredericksburg team; and Sunday, the BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Paved Way For Verdict Weighing 215 pounds, and a deadly forward passer, Bounds was a thorn in the side to the Howard Bisons, Saturday, in their battle with Virginia State College.

The city championship series starts next Monday, 3:15 p.m., with Cardozo against Dunbar in Walker Stadium. By comparative scores the teams are well matched. Both teams have lost to Stanton by the same score, 6 to 0. Both teams have registered one game in the win column in conference games. The lines are about equal. With the attack built around Milton Robinson, Cardozo appears to have the smoother working backfired. Robinson is the outstanding back of the conference players.

College eleven. Harry Lash, all-conference Hornet tackle, did his customary trick of blocking the first punt which Florida attempted at the beginning of the game, and Severne Frazier on the first play trotted eleven yards for the touchdown, that with A. D. Brown's contribution of the extra point was to become the margin of the game. The Hornets again were on the offensive most of the time to register 10 first downs, to gain 189 yards from running plays and 20 yards from aerial plays, while the Floridians had to be satisfied with just 3 first downs, 28 yards from running plays and 28 yards from aerial plays. OFFICIALS DECIDE BISON-STATE GAME Questionable Decision in Third Period Gives Virginians Victory PETERSBURG, Va.—A hard-fought game between Howard University and Virginia State College, Saturday, at Petersburg, was marred by excessive penalties and a questionable score, the home team receiving the advantage of a 7-0 score. On State's fourth attempt from Howard's five-yard line the referee picked up the ball one foot from the goal and declared no touchdown, giving the ball to the Howard team to kick out, after which the umpire and linesman claimed a touchdown. Thereupon Referee L. U. Gibson took the ball away from Howard and gave it to Virginia State. Heavy Penalties The two teams were penalized a total of 200 yards, of which 110 yards were inflicted against Howard and 90 yards against Virginia The Virginia team was placed in scoring position as the result of a bad pass with a partial block kick that was recovered by State on Howard's 18-yard line. Bounds went around right end for a first down on Howard's 5-yard line, followed by four attempts to score. Ware's 70-yard pass to Sewell, and Hall's 75-yard run on a pass from Ware were the big thrillers of the game, although in each instance Howard failed to score. No Score in First Half Beginning the first quarter Ware cut off right tackle for a gain of 30 yards on the second play, the distance being almost immediately retrieved in two successive 15-yard passes. A 16-yard end run by Bounds and a 12-yard gain by Howell, together with a 15-yard pass declared good for interference gave State first down on Howard's 18-yard line as the quarter ended. Hall kicked out to midfield, beginning the second period with the aid of a penalty. State had first down on Howard's 6-yard line, but in three attempts was unable to cross the goal line. Hall kicked out to mid-field. Ware intercepted one of State's passes on its own 10-yard line, but was unable to get away. On a lateral pass from Hall he carried the ball to State's 25-yard line, with the ball still in Howard's possession 20 yards from the goal line as the half ended. The fatal kick declared as the break of the game, followed by Bounds continued bounding, accounted for the questionable score in the third period. Young kicked goal for the extra point. Howard Tries Passes In the fourth period, Howard opened up a devastating forward pass attack in which both Hall and Sewell threatened to score. Howard worked the ball from its own 10-yard line down to State's 5-yard line, when the time-keeper's whistle blew. The referee declared another play by virtue of the penalty against Howard, which resulted in the eclipse of Howard's hopes in a pass grounded in the end zone. While Virginia State out-gained Howard from scrimmage 171 to 69 yards, the Bisons gained 212 yards by way of the air to Virginia State's 41. HOWARD VA. STATE Bolden . L.E. Boyd Payton (e). L.G.

The station, abodying a floor space in excess of 75,000 square feet (three complete floors of the imposing structure), will be the last word in degn and equipment for petroleum product dispensing and automotive repair work. By virtue of its location and the governmental developments in this pennsylvania avenue section immediately west of the Capitol, this building has been designed to fit with the scheme of architecture and construction of the government improvements to be made in this area. The approval of the National Committee of Fine Arts was required for this building, which is a close neighbor of the Capitol itself—one block away. The progress of the government program now under way will draw this building more and more into the center of national as well as municipal activity. Constitution avenue, upon completion, will become "ceremonial" avenue of the National Capital. There will be eight automobile entrances to the main floor of the mammoth service station, six of them along the 335-foot Constitutoin avenue frontage and an entrance each on Second and Third streets. Within this station practically every type of service and accessory in connection with the operation and maintenance of an automobile may be had. Among those unique features to be found in the "Standard" Capital Service Center, as it will be known, is an 80-foot continuous metal belt automobile wash track, which provides for the washing of the underneath as well as the top and sides of a car, and cleans it thoroughly on the inside. Only specially-treated soft cold water will be used on the lacquered finish of a car, while the underneath portion is scrubbed by giant brushes through which hot water continually flows. An 80-foot continuous -belt grease track will also be in operation to insure complete, perfect automotive lubrication in a minimum span of time. Experts trained in their line man this operation from start to finish and use only the highest grade of products available. Each car is scientifically greased according to a particular chart printed for the individual make and model being serviced. In the huge basement which underlies the entire building, such services as brake repairing, adjustment and relining, ignition testing and repairing, body tightening and testing, wheel alignment, valve grinding and carbon removal, motor tuning and carburation, special chassis lubrication, battery and tire servicing will be rendered at regular prices prevailing throughout the city. Located in this basement in connection with the fire repairing phase of the operations is a miniature rubber factory, which is so complexly equipped that some of its apparatus, such as steam cur- RECALLS 1st GRID BATTLE IN 1892 RECALLS 1st GRID BATTLE IN 1892 Livingstone and J. C. Smith Colleges Fought in Snow Storm, Vets Say SALISBURY, N.C.-The statement to the press that Livingstone College and J. C. Smith University had patched up their differences and would meet again Thanksgiving Day, started a hunt in the files of the history of the relations between the two schools with some interesting results. It was found that Livingstone and J. C. Smith (then Biddle) met on the gridiron for the first time in a snow-storm in 1892 at Salisbury. The captain of the Livingstone stone was the late Dr. J. W. Walker ('98) of Asheville, and the manager and right half back was President Trent ('98) of Livingstone College. Outstanding for Biddle that year were Prof. Charles H. Shute, who at present is on the faculty at Johnson C. Smith; the Rev. L. B. Ellerson (captain), who is now a Presbyterian minister; J. J. Robinson, of Goldsboro; and the Rev. B. B. Funderburk, of Cheraw, S.C. The day the game was played was cold and dreary and snow had fallen to a considerable depth. In the early stages of the game, Biddle got away to a lead and scored a touchdown making the score 5-0. Later in the game when a Biddle man was about to get away for another score, Captain Walker, of Livingstone, tackled him and he dropped the ball. It was immediately scoped up by the Livingstone right halfback who dashed across for a touchdown. Due to the heavy blanket of snow, the markings of the field were not so plain and Biddle contended that its ball carrier was out of bounds when tackled. The contention was upheld and the score was disallowed, Biddle winning, 5-0. Since that time games between Smith and Livingstone have been more or less a fixture in North Carolina, with gala crowds and after-game affairs. This year is to be no exception. Plans are being laid for a big event to celebrate the resumption of relationship between the schools. M. A. A. A. STANDINGS Results of Games October 29 Downingtown, 18; Dover State College, 0.

Kentucky State Smears Knoxville, 14 to 0 KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—Long passes, perfect blocking, and hard hitting ball carriers gave Kentucky State a 14-0 victory over the valiant Knoxville College Bulldogs at homecoming here, Saturday. Long forward passes from Carr to Leonard Miller and from West to Hardin scored Kentucky's touchdowns. But it was the perfect blocking and hard tackling which actually gave Kentucky her victory over Knoxville. The Bulldogs' line held like a stone wall whenever the visitors approached the goal line, and on line-play defense the Knoxville team played ball; but on offensive play few holes were made for Bulldog backs. ing, is seldom found except in plants actually manufacturing automobile tires. The entire top floor is devoted to servicing cars and storage. The Standard Oil offices occupy the major portion of the second floor, while the third, fourth and fifth floors, embodying some 125 offices and suites, are being leased to outside firms and individuals. Immediately to the west of the location of this new Standard Oil Building is a site on which the new Washington Municipal Center is to be constructed in the near future. All buildings now erected between the confines of Third street, Constitution avenue, First street and Pennsylvania avenue will be removed, and a parkway will probably adorn this area which is now rendered quite unsightly by the presence of many dilapidated and ill-kent structures. Few improvements could be made by the government that would add greater beauty to the national capital than this anticipated step along the main avenue of approach to the Capitol grounds. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1932 Veteran Footballer 1922 W. J.

CAPITAL CITY SPORT SCRIPTS By ARTHUR CARTER A high school gridiron feud, young in the term of years, but superbly tense in rivalry, will be renewed in Walker Stadium, Monday, when the Purple and Gold warriors of Cardozo match their football talent with the Red and Black Dunbar eleven in the opening game of the city championship race. The history of the annual battle between the two schools since the organization of the Business Institution in 1928 reveals that the Poets have won two games, the Clerks one, and the fourth was a tie. The initial contest in 1928 resulted in a 6-6 deadlock while the Clerks eked out a 7-6 victory over Dunbar in 1929. In 1930 and last year Dunbar defeated the Stenogs by 19-0 and 13-6 scores, respectively. This year the Clerks have exhibited to date better ability than any Cardozo team since the first one in 1928. Stanton High of Annapolis, the only common opponent of both teams, defeated the Clerks and Dunbar by the same score, thus no indication of the teams' comparative strengths can be gathered from the games played to date. Milton Robinson, the Clerks' triple threat man, will be a marked man in the battle. The second city series game will be played Monday, November 14, with the Clerks engaging the Armstrong Generals. The annual battle between Armstrong and Dunbar takes place November 21. The forty students who accompanied the Dunbar football team to Wilmington, Delaware, for the game Friday not only were forced to see their favorites go down in defeat, but experienced what one student called more than "one of life's darkest moments." On the trip up to Wilmington, the bus driver was stopped in Northeast, Maryland, for violation of a traffic regulation, and coming back the bus ran out of gas in Baltimore. The second difficulty is the one which seems to have started the more serious trouble. While the driver of the vehicle was gasing up in Baltimore several members of the team and two of the rooters entered a nearby bakery, a block away from the filling station. As the group were about to leave they were confronted by an armed clerk who declared they had broken a show case glass which had to be paid for. The students asserted that they didn't break the glass. Nevertheless they were forced to remain in the bakery at the point of a pistol until a policeman arrived. The officer threatened to arrest the entire group, if the glass wasn't paid for. Coach Charlie Pinderhughes played the hero role, and paid for the broken glass, and the team continued its return trip in safety. They arrived in Washington at 12:45 a.m. Morris Brown Swamps Morehouse College, 21-0 ATLANTA, Ga.—History repeated itself Saturday as Morris Brown swamped the Moron Tigers of Morehouse College, 21-0, for the second successive year. That victory marks the fifth win for Morris Brown in their march to the 1832 championship of the Southern Intercollegiate Conference. The running, passing and punting of Shag Jones, All-American half back of last season, the spectacular play of Tiny Smith as left end and brilliant 70-yard run by Spurlock were the biggest points of the game. A kicking duel in the opening quarter made things look even, until Hadley ripped off tackle on a 45-yard run, advancing the ball to scoring distance. Shag Jones, triple-threat back, faked an end run and passed to Dyke Smith over the goal for the first score. Changes In Football Rules Changes In Football Rules THE MURRAY CASINO Depression Prices For Dates By BENJAMIN WASHINGTON Secretary, Eastern Board of Officials Question. To settle an argument between two coaches of football teams, kindly advise me whether the referee has the power to "give" a touchdown to a team for violation of any rule. I claim that he has not the power. Answer. There is certain power vested in the referee concerning the awarding of a touchdown to either of the teams under specified conditions. For instance— If there is a free ball in the end zone, and a player of the team which put the ball in play (Team A) is in position; that is, near enough, to fall upon it, when to prevent this, a player of the opposing team (Team B) kicks the ball, the referee shall award a touchdown to Team A. If this is considered "giving" a team a touchdown you lose the bet. In this case the referee is awarding a touchdown to the team which is not in legal possession of the ball. This is not to be confused with a situation almost identical, such as the following: There is a free ball in Team B's end zone and no players of Team A are near enough to get possession of it when a player of Team B kicks it. The decision under this case is not a All-Southern Collegiates in Deadlock With Kings NEW YORK. — Playing below their usual form, the All-Southern Collegiates played a scoreless tie with the Kings at Fewster Field in Brooklyn, Sunday afternoon. The brilliance of Earl Peterson, the lanky fullback of the Collegiates, and the spectacular playing of halfback Hicks, the excellent work of Robinson and Graham on ends, and of Artest, halfback, went for naught in scoring, although the ball was kept well into the Kings' territory during the whole game. As usual, the line play of the Collegiates brought the spectators to their feet, where Pierce, Livingstone, Harris and Brackett, aided by Whitlock, played the entire game without substitution or time out. McAlpin started the game at center, but soon gave way for Harris, the greatest center in football, and from that point on in the first quarter, it was Collegiates all the way. A couple of poor decisions on the part of the referee saved the Kings from being scored on; once on the 18-yard line and again on the 10-yard line. High winds kept down the aerial attack, although the Collegiates completed no less than eight forwards out of an even dozen tries. They scored ten first downs $t_0$ the Kings' four. NEWLY DECORATED "Washington's Most Beautiful Hall" NOW BOOKING DATES For BREAKFAST DANCES MATINEES NIGHT RECEPTIONS DAWN DANCES 1 touchdown, but a safety. This is not the awarding of a touchdown but it shows the authority of the referee to "give" a point-scoring decision to a team under certain conditions. A few seasons ago while Morgan was playing Lincoln in Baltimore, a member of the Morgan team, then coached by Charles Drew, had possession of the ball running towards the goal line, when to the amazement of the spectators, and to the cagrin of his own coach, a player of the Lincoln team who had been sitting on the bench witnessing the Morganite speeding for a touchdown, suddenly leaped to his feet, ran upon the field, tackled the ball carrier and downed him a short distance from the goal line, apparently satisfied that he had saved his Alma Mater from defeat. Here again—you might lost your bet, for Article 6 of Section 11 of the football rules states: "In case of any other act by such persons which is palpably unfair and not elsewhere provided for in these rules, the referee shall have authority to make such ruling as in his judgment justice may require." The referee in the instance mentioned here, awarded to the Morgan team a touchdown. Yes, a referee has the power to "give" a touchdown to a team for violation of any (?) rule. 23 Co-Eds Report for Livingstone Court Team TALLADEGA, Ala.—The sun was slowly setting over the western foothills of the Applachians as the Crimson Tornado eleven of Talladega College was fighting it out with the Panthers of Clark University for a 0-0 count. Herbert Pigrom, Dega All-Southern end, who was shifted to fullback for this game; James Speed, All-American back for 1929-30; and Elzy Wright, All-American half-back, 1932, of the Tornado eleven backfield; and Lloyd White, redoubtable center; Louis Craig, guard; and John Pitts, big Dega flankman, contributed largely to the Dega's excellent showing in her second game of the season. The game was played on Silsby Field before several hundred fans who were constantly in a frenzy of excitement due to the thrills furnished by the two teams. NUMBERS Last week we cleaned up again.

Better Tobacco Will Tell 425,000,000 FIRST YEAR RECORD Downingtown Eleven Trips Dover State College, 18-0 DOVER, Del—In their seventh annual gridiron contest Downing-town Industrial School and Dover State College staged a sensational game here, with the former emerging victor by a 3-touchdown margin. For three quarters the teams battled to a 0-1 stalemate. Although Dover was the heavier by 20 pounds to the man, it was the collegians who first wilted. In the fourth quarter Downing-town started on her own 34-yard line and marched 66 yards off-tackle and around end to a touchdown, with White lugging the leather over from the 5-yard line. A few minutes later, the fighting Industrial School lads recovered a blocked kick on Dover's 31-yard Call Potomac 1667 or 1668 THIRTEEN stripe. Again line plays brought a score. In desperation Dover turned to the air and gained 60 yards on four aerials. The advance was stopped when Ray Ford intercepted a pass on his own 15-yard marker in the last minute of play and ran through the whole Dover team, shaking off tackler after tackler.

Songs from Burleigh were "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" and "Trees Have Grown So"; from Dett, "God Understands." President Clark, at the close of the assembly, in behalf of the students and faculty, expressed appreciation for the singing of Miss Pinkney, and the playing of Miss Dykes. GIVES THE INSIDE OF DARK MYSTERY AT THE LINCOLN Inside details of the professional life of a New York columnist, revealing the secret of how he secures much of the news which proves so disturbing to many of his readers, are shown in "Kidnapping of Ruth Drake." Universal's newspaper story which comes to the Lincoln Theatre on Friday, with Lew Ayres in the starring role. Ayres is seen as a regular radio broadcaster who thus supplements his work as a columnist, and brings to light many secrets of New York's night life. To those who are not acquainted with his methods of gathering news he seems to have an uncanny ability of discovering little-known facts. This picture, it is said, reaches a high pitch of excitement when Ayres, in the character of Larry Wayne, runs afoul of New York gangsters, and daringly broadcasts news concerning them which even the police have been unable to unearth. He solves a mysterious kid-mapping case, but in doing so brings about a situation which supplies a climax of unusual power. The east supporting Lew Ayres ON THE SCREEN AT HOWARD THE DANCE IRENE DUNNE and RICARDO CARDO who are appearing in "13 Women" on the screen at the Howard Theatre for a week. in "Kidnapping of Ruth Drake" includes Marrice O'Sullivan, Walter Catlett, Allan Dinehart, Margaret Lindsey, Henry Armetta, Emerson Treacy, George Dow Clark, Marjorie Gateson, and many others, and the picture was directed by Tay Garnett. Truth is stranger than fiction, and in the case of the hilarious moving picture, "Once in a Lifetime," which is coming to the Lincoln Theatre on Wednesday, it is much funnier. Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman, who had never been to Hollywood, sat down in New York, and from all the funny things they had ever heard about the moving picture business, they wrote a play. The play ran for two years on Broadway. "Once in a Lifetime" was hugely enjoyed by moving picture people as well as by the general public. None of the latter ever dreamed that such unprecedented things as occur in "Once in a Lifetime" can ever happen in any moving picture studio. None of the former ever thought a picture would be made from this excruciatingly funny and howlingly satirical play, or that any moving picture producer would have the nerve to make such fun of the industry in which he was a prominent figure.

BARON LEE HEADS HOWARD THEATRE PROGRAM Baron Lee and his Blue Rhythm Band, which proved to be a sensation during its summer engagement at the Cotton Club in New York, will headline the stage show at the Howard for a week's engagement beginning Friday. It has often been announced as the sweetest band on the air, during the period in which it was broadcasting from the floor of the Cotton Club. When Baron Lee and his Blue Rhythm Band decide to play a hot tune, however, it is, in the expressive phraseology of jazz music lovers, "really going to town." They also bear the distinction of being the band chosen to succeed Cab Calloway at the Cotton Club during Cab's recent tour. Edgar Hayes, the famous jazz pianist, is an outstanding feature in the personnel of the band. His mad piano harmony is played in a manner that will make one tap his toes and clap his hands. The big revue of fifty-five embraces the names of many widely-known stars. The screen feature is that weird and thrilling mystery story, "13 Women," co-starring Irene Dunn, the star of "Back Street," and Ricardo Cortex.

Theatre today (Friday), emerges triumphant in a role marked by, recurrent flashes of pure acting genius. The star of "Shanghai Express," "Morocco," "Dishonored," "The Blue Angel' again proves her claim to outstanding distinction in the motion picture realm: "Blonde Venus," gives Dietrich two important assets, real down-to-earth story and a character to portray that, is worthy of her talent. Wife, mother, exotic night club entertainer, hunted woman, international stage success—the character follows each in turn thru a kaleidoscopic series of adventurous happenings. Working to support her sick husband and little child, Dietrich, billed as the "Blonde Venus," is a sensation in a Harlem night club. She meets Cary Grant, whose generous offers of help introduce him to her friendship, and later to her love. Enraged, her husband tears her child from her and orders her into the streets. She steals the child and flees, pursued from city to city by the police and her husband who wants the child. Finally, unable to fight longer, she surrenders the child, and goes abroad. She achieves success, and in a dramatic climax is reunited with her child and her old lover. Beautiful Sally Blane, a rising star in the Hollywood firmament, shone with new brilliance against the stark background of a receiving hospital in "Forbidden Company," the new Invincible talkie which will be shown for the first time locally at the Republic Theatre Wednesday. Not only does this Richard Thorpe production give give unusual scope to Miss Blane's histrionic versatility, but also does the story stand out as so powerful and so unusual that every intelligent movie-goer should put it on his must see list for this week. John Darrow, who was seen recently with Sally Blane in "Probation" is splendid opposite her in this production. Darrow has youth, good looks, poise, and a wealth of talent that promise a great future for him in Hollywood.

HOWARD FEATURED BUD HARRIS, AND RHYTHM RASCALS Bud Harris and his Rhythm Rascals who completed a week's engagement at Howard Theatre yesterday, presented a revue packed with plenty of thrills. Bringing one of the hottest bands in Harlem with him to the T street house, Harris has one of the most complete units seen: here for several weeks. Outstanding in the show are Bert Howell, versatile entertainer, who sings, plays the violin, piano and ukulele, besides passing out a few wise cracks with Harris. Howell's best numbers were "I'll Never Be the Same," and "Three's a Crowd." Johnny Hudgins, late star of Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," performed a comedy skit much to the delight of the audience, and five sailors who styled themselves the "Five Salties," performed comic acrobatic stunts, tumbling all over the stage and doing everything but break their necks. Harris's younger brother, Paul Harris, almost stopped the show with his fast and fancy tap dancing. The musical score provided by the Rhythm Rascals included "I Got Rhythm," "Star Dust" and "St. Louis Blues." Joan Bennett and Charles Farrell co-starred in the screen presentation, "Wild Girl," a story of love at first sight in the Wild West. A re-issue of one of Charlie Chaplin's early comedies, "The Cure," was also presented. A 20-mile cloud of butterflies crossed the Sierra mountains into California, recently.

Persons who had compiled with the law and had their cars inspected and who did not have extra light bulbs in their car were given a summons to appear in court, but those who had extra bulbs or who had their cars tested at an official testing station, were warned to have their lights fixed.

JOHN-BAPTIST CHURCH The Sunday school had an interesting speaker Sunday morning in the person of the Rev. J. W. Mills of Mt. Airy Baptist Church, Washington. He also reviewed the lesson. At the morning church service, the Rev. Mr. Mills preached from Romans 6:12 part of which reads, "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body." He said it was his intention to preach about that real preacher—Saul of Tarsus, later known as Paul. Concluding, he stated that we should continue to pray that we would be better missionaries in the future than in the past and that we should so live in this world that we will enter Heaven when we die. Mr. Mills came to St. John on the invitation of Mrs. Roslyn Brooks, president of the Missionary Society. There will be a revival commencing Sunday and continuing for ten days. The Rev. Mr. Walker and Deacon Brooks stated they were greatly inspired by the prayer meeting at Metropolitan Baptist Church, Washington, which they attended recently.

The Aggie line was so strong that Smith only gained 18 yards from rushing. A. & T. kicked off to Smith and held them for downs. The teams played in the shadow of Smith's goal during the entire first half. The punting of both teams was very poor. Half, A. & T., 0; Smith, 0. The Aggies assumed the offensive early in the third quarter and drove to Smith's 10-yard line where the ball was lost on a fumble. Matthews, of Smith, dropped back on the goal line to punt, but the punt was blocked by Washington and Canada. Smith succeeded, in covering the ball, scoring a touchback for A. & T. During the final period A.&.T drove to Smith's 10-yard line, but failed to put the ball over because of a penalty. Oney Corbin and Rock Matthews, former Armstrong and Dumbar High School stars, respectively, were in the Smith line-up. Cheyney Teachers Rout Princess Anne Academy PRINCESS ANNE, Md.—Cheyney's formidable grid machine reached its stride Saturday, when it administered a severe walloping to the Trojans of Princess Anne Academy on the Marylanders' own gridiron. The score was 32-0. Captain Jimmie Moore, of the Cheyney Wolves, and a former Wilmington star, was the feature performer of the afternoon, scoring three of the Wolves' touchdowns, one of which was a 60-yard run gained by intercepting a foxward pass and outwitting the entire Trojan aggregation. Captain Moore was ably assisted by Milton Browne, the Philly flash, who scored two touchdowns for Cheyney. On the defense Buss Burruss, Harrisburg veteran, and who is being converted into a Cheyney tackle, and Wade Wilson, former Bonora coal region sensation, were the leading threats. The deadly tackling of Kangaroo Jones and the vicious line plunging of Jim Highower was an additional aid to the Cheyney cause. Dennis, the bruising fullback of the Trojans, was the only thorn in the Wolves' side during the fast and exciting contest. SHARE APARTMENT WANTED—Two refined girls to share apartment.

The Social, Economic, and Financial Difficulties Which Have Led to a Crisis in the Affairs of the African Republic Best Values in Town USED CARS Steps are now being taken to straighten out the tangled affairs of Liberia. They are of deep interest to the United States, for this nation has concerned itself so often with Africa's Negro republic that Liberia is often referred to as the "American protectorate." Liberia is in a precarious position, financially and politically. A Department of State communication issued last May said: "Conditions in Liberia have now grown so chaotic and adequate authority has now become so demoralized that it is doubtful whether an effective government exists in the country." It is to remedy this situation that a committee of the League of Nations recently recommended a plan whereby the Government of Liberia would be largely controlled by a foreign adviser with almost dictatorial powers. The League's proposal has been accepted by Liberia and by the State Department at Washington. It must still be approved, however, by the Finance Corporation of America, a subsidiary of the Firestone Rubber Company, whose contract with the Liberian Government would be considerably affected by the new arrangement. Independence in 1847. From the first, Liberia has been closely associated with the United States. As early as the eighteenth century, Americans who favored the abolition of slavery suggested it as a home for Negroes, and in 1821 the American Colonization Society actually established a colony of freed Negroes there. Others followed, the country remaining under the supervision of the society until 1847, when independence was proclaimed. The visitor to Liberia today may see clear evidences of the republic's connection with America. The country's Constitution is modeled on our own. Her flag is very much like ours. English is the official language. And there are also more substantial ties with this country: The Firestone Rubber Company has established an extensive plantation and American financial advisers supervise the collection of customs and suggest policies to the government. America has not assumed any exclusive responsibility for Liberia, however; on the contrary, the United States has indicated its readiness to withdraw its representatives in favor of international supervision under the League's present plan. Difficulties Confronting the Country. This plan is designed to remedy the many difficulties which now confront the African republic. The Libarian Government has not stopped the extensive slave trade, whose existence was revealed in 1930 by an international commission of investigation. It has not taken steps to end the "grave international danger" arising from the existence in Liberia of conditions favoring the spread of yellow fever and the plague. It has not quelled dissatisfaction among the inhabitants of the interior, dissatisfaction that, it is feared, may lead to open revolt unle. steps are taken to win back the confidence of the natives. Most important of all are Liberia's economic problems. Try as she will, she cannot make ends meet, especially since the coming of the depression with its resultant drop in government revenues. In 1928, government receipts STEUART MOTORS '32 Chevrolet Coach ..... $479 '31 Ford Standard Coupe, rumble ..... 299 '31 Ford Phaeton (radio) ..... 279 '30 Ford Sport Roadster ..... 189 '28 Ford Sport Roadster ..... 99 '28 Ford Sport Coupe ..... 99 '26 Buick Sedan ..... 99 '28 Ford Tudor ..... 119 '29 Ford Phaeton ..... 129 '27 Chevrolet Sedan ..... 89 '28 Graham Sedan ..... 99 '28 Essex Coupe (rumble) ..... 169 '28 Chevrolet Coach ..... 99 '31 Ford Tudor ..... 249 '31 Chevrolet Cabriolet ..... 359 '29 Chevrolet Sedan ..... 239 '29 Chevrolet Cabriolet ..... 199 Terms in Trade Other Barcains Equally 6th & N. Y. Ave. N. W. Open Sundays and Evenings were $1,276,438. By last year they had decreased to $151,306, and Liberia was forced to default on its bonds and to leave many salaries unpaid. The League of Nations experts believe that a change in administration would be a fundamental help in remedying this situation. At present, the Liberian people —numbering about 1,500,000—are governed by some 12,000 Americo-Liberians, the descendants of the American Negroes who migrated there. These Americo-Liberians have taken upon themselves the duty of administering the affairs of about 50,000 other English-speaking Negroes living on the coast, as well as the Mandingos, Krus, Golas and other peoples who inhabit the interior. Any one with certain property qualifications is eligible to vote, but the aborigines take no interest in politics. Complaints of the Natives. Between the small governing class and the huge mass of the governed serious antagonism has sprung up. The natives complain that they have been forced to work on government business without pay; that taxes have been levied twice, and food requisitioned. Some of the Americo-Liberians have profited by selling the inhabitants of the hinterland into slavery. "Intimidation," said the report of the International Slavery Commission, "has apparently been and is the keyword of the government policy." One of the chief reasons for Liberia's financial difficulties is that the cost of government is relatively high, partly because so many of the Americo-Liberians seek public office that the government is overstaffed, and partly because of the crushing burden of debt under which the country staggers. At the same time, with Liberia's trade per capita the lowest among the African territories, her resources undeveloped and her businesses controlled largely by foreigners, receipts are low. Each year the deficits increase Frequently Liberia has attempted to help herself by arranging foreign loans. Two were obtained from England, the first as early as 1871 and the second in 1906, but these were not put to profitable use. Hence Liberia found herself compelled in 1912 to arrange another loan, chiefly for the purpose of paying off her earlier debts. This time $1,700,000 was received from four foreign countries, including the United States. As a guarantee that the interest would be paid, Liberia allowed her customs to be collected by a receiver appointed by her debtors. This third loan also was not used productively, and Liberia soon found herself no better able than before to meet expenses. She sought financial help from the American Government after the war, but the Senate refused its approval. Finally, in 1926, Liberia leased 1,000,000 acres of rubber land to the Firestone Plantations Company for ninety-nine years. The rent was put at six cents for each acre under cultivation, and the company agreed to put a 1 per cent tax on rubber exports, the latter payments to begin after the agreement had been in effect six years. At about the same time the Finance Corporation of America, a Firestone subsidiary, agreed to lend Liberia $5,000,000 for forty years at 7 per cent interest.

Adams 6000 1569 PARK ROAD Adams 16292 MENTION THE TRIBUNE of this sum was paid immediately, with the proviso that it be used to pay off the 1912 loan. The remainder was to be turned over when the annual customs and head-money receipts reached $800,000 for two consecutive years—something which has not yet occurred. Customs and internal revenue were placed under the supervision of American financial advisers. "Squandering" of Funds. But the Firestone loan has left Liberia no better off than she was before. By 1931 $2,227,700 of it had been spent, all but $168,000 to pay off the 1912 loan and internal claims. And of this latter sum the $156,000 used for public works had been "squandered," the League's experts asserted. Liberia now finds herself paying more to the officials responsible for service of the loan than she receives from the Firestone Company. Some modification of the agreement has been declared essential by the League. The Firestone interests have sent a representative to Geneva to discuss the matter. Liberia's economic troubles are chiefly responsible for her other ills. Recent declarations by the Department of State indicate that slavery persists. The international commission which in 1930 investigated forced labor conditions there found the practice widespread It discovered numerous instances of "pawning," that is, of parents hiring out their children for indefinite periods, sometimes as long as forty years. It found that thousands of boys were being recruited against their will to work for Spanish cocon planters; on the island of Fernando Po, and that high government officials were being paid for every boy exported. Finally, it was shown that the Liberian Government had forced natives to work without pay on threats of flogging and torture. The Liberian Lecislature promised to remedy these conditions, and passed several measures looking toward that end, but they have not been effective. Highlights in Articles in November "Opportunity" Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, William Z. Foster, candidate of the Communist party, Ogden L. Mills, Secretary of the Treasury, representing the administration, and James Farley, representing the Democratic National Committee discuss the question of "The Negro and Public Works" in the November issue of Opportunity Magazine. Kenneth E. Barnhart writes brilliantly on "Racial Suicides."

Death of Juror Recalls Cincinnati Riot of 1884 CINCINNATI, Ohio — (CPA) — Samuel Edwards, 72 years old, the last survivor of a murder trial jury that by its verdict plunged Cincinnati into riot and bloodshed in March of 1884, died yesterday. A Negro, Joseph Palmer, and a white man, William Besner, were up for trial in 1884 for killing their employer, another white man, Palmer and Besner were convicted for the same offense, but Palmer, the Negro, was sentenced to hang by the jury, whereas Besner, the white man, was only convicted of manslaughter. The discrimination shown in this case by the jurors aroused public indignation in Cincinnati and was the direct cause of a bloody riot. Fifty persons were killed, shops were looted, and the courthouse was burned. The juros; escaped but ill fortune seemed to hang over them thereafter. Two were well known; Dollahan fell into tramp life and died of delirium in New York a few years ago, and Edwards became a recluse.

Hotel NEW YORK—Charles Edward Russell, Pulitzer Prize winner one of the founders of the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, has broken down an attempt to set up the color line at the Hotel Brozell in New York, where he has stayed during his visits here for a period of 26 years. When he learned that Dr. B. Price Hurst and family, of Washington, had been denied accommodation at the hotel, Dr. Russell wrote a strong letter of condemnation to the hotel manager, J. Sugarman, telling him that he (Russell) would not patronize the hotel if a Jim Crow policy were established. In response to his communication, Dr. Russell received and sent on to the N.A.A.C.P. the following letter from Mr. Sugarman: "I was shocked and astonished when I received your letter of the 19th with enclosure. "I immediately started to make an investigation. No one present seems to know a thing about Dr. Hurst or of any such case. In fact, I forcibly impressed on my staff that I will not tolerate any discrimination in race, color or religion. "If Dr. Hurst should again try the Brozell please have him call for me, personally. You may rest assured that he will be received with open arms and made to feel right at home. "My family and I wish to thank you for your kind and humanitarian stand." Refused to Register North Carolina Negroes NEW YORK—U. S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell, was sent a request by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People that he investigate the refusal of registrars in Nash County, North Carolina, to register properly qualified colored citizens who desire to exercise their citizenship right of voting. One such colored citizen, according to the report was flatly refused registration by the registrar who told him to go and tell other Negroes not to come as they would be refused. The N.A.A.C.P. has also telegraphed Governor O. Max Gardner asking him to protect the constitutional rights of colored citizens in the state. The telegram to the U. S. Attorney General signed by Walter White, reads as follows: "It has been reported this office that registrars in Nash County N.C. are flatly refusing register Negroes eligible to vote. Please instruct U. S. attorney in that district make inquiry into this report and take appropriate action prevent violation federal constitution." President Savoy Surprised At the last meeting of the Eastern Board of Officials at the residence of Dr. Trigg, when the weekly meeting of this group of officials was in session, undergoing a severe test to make themselves more efficient in the enforcement of the rules in football, the president, A. Kiger Savoy, was requested to make a certain decision to which he was hardly able to respond. Accustomed as he has been to making instant decisions on the gridiron, he utterly stammered when an award of an official jersey of the Eastern Board of Officials, containing the emblem and his own name was placed in his hands from his fellow associates. Taken completely unawares by this spirit of comradeship and deeply appreciative of the efficiency of the men of "his" organization, Mr. Savoy stammered his gratitude and urged the men to even better standards of football officiating than has been maintained during the past decade. Ebenezer M.E. Cooperates with S. E. House The activities at South East House have increased to such an extent that a temporary plan has been made to use the spacious rooms at Ebenezer Church which is located just two blocks from the house. The Children's Theatre Group, of which Gertrude Brown is director, will meet regularly in the rooms set aside for this purpose by the church. In addition the Special Art Group, Lois M. Jones, director, will convert one of the rooms in the church into a studio for the special art students. Further plans are still under consideration to accommodate the increasing number of children who are taking such a keen interest in the activities of this popular center. Headworker at South East House Fills Speaking Engagement. During the past week, Marion Grace Conover, headworker at South East House, addressed the Parent-Teacher Association at Cardozo High School and the John S. Cook School. Later Miss Conover was one of the special guest-speakers at the mother-daughter banquet at Ebe-nezer Methodist Episcopal Church. Mrs. Margaret Carbaugh, of Hagerstown, Md., was badly burned when a lightning bolt followed the wire line from which she was removing the family wash. ```markdown ``` MORE SPORTS a 2-Honor suit—not bad a 3-Honor suit—even better but a 5-Honor suit is best So is a 5-STAR motor oil!

PAUL, 21-0 Pawing Union Panthers Completely Outplay Tigers in Game NORFOLK, Va.—In a spectacular game featured by brilliant passes and constant gains through the line by both teams, Virginia Union University's powerful gridiron machine ground out a 21-0 victory over the team from St. Paul, at Bain Field here Monday before 3,000 spectators. The pawing Panthers outplayed the Tigers in every branch of the game and left only slight contitions to abate the affirmation that Bill Yancey, the inimitable maroon- $5,000 Damage To Southeast Homes Fire in the 2800 block of Elvans road southeast Thursday destroyed a frame bungalow, damaged a two-story frame house next door and burned the roof of a house across the street when the latter was set afire from sparks from the two other dwellings. A tentative estimate placed the damage at approximately $5,000. All of the dwellings were occupied by colored persons. The occupants of the bungalow and the two-story frame structure were out at the time of the fire. Firemen found $184 in the ruins of the bungalow and turned the money to police for them to give it to the owner, said to be James Wright. Mrs. Claudine T. Trivers, of 2817½ Elvans road, mother of George, a Tribune newsboy, had her home badly damaged. and-steel quarterback, held precedence over Herb Smith, St. Paul's brainy field general, in the timely art of handling the pigskin. St. Paul fought valiantly to keep down the score, but the Union Panthers seemed to gain strength as the Tigers weakened. Passes completed at strategic moments, coupled with the unabated battering across tackle by Gill, Jenkins, Poole and Alien gave Union opportunity to put across three touchdowns. During the first half, the ball was restrained, for the most part, to the safe playing in midfield. Occasionally the Lawrenceville forces pushed the ball into Union's line, but the long well-placed punting of Williams frustrated their chances of scoring. Robinson Turns Tide Union snapped out of its apparent lethargy early in the third period when Maxie Robinson was reinstated in the game. A swift lateral pass from Yancey to Poole and from Poole to Maxie Robinson on Union's 18-yard line paved the way for the letter to make a BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL sweeping right end run to St. Paul's 40-yard line. In the next two plays Union and St. Paul fumbled the ball respectively, Union regaining the ball on her 20-yard line. Before St. Paul realized what was happening Yancey electrified the crowd by throwing a perfect bullet pass to Lloyd Williams, who tore through opposition and romped to the Tigers' 5-yard line, where he was downed by the fleet-footed Herb Smith. There was no long mauling struggle for the remaining distance. Cubby Gill took the ball and found a hole in the left side of the Tigers' line, where they had left their jobs to chase a phantom out towards the end. He rammed his way over with slight opposition. Williams, cool and composed, booted the ball for an extra point. Same Play Worked Twice In the fourth quarter Yancey made another long pass to Williams who made a spectacular run to the Tigers' 4-yard line and was downed by the alert Herb Smith (who, by the way, was knocked unconscious in both of his attempts to halt the onslaught of the pawing Panthers, and had to be taken from the field and out of the game after his last effort), and in due course Gill again plunged for a touchdown.

Wilberforce Scores in Last Four Minutes to Win WILBERFORCE, O.—The Great Green Wave of Wilberforce swept aside one of their strongest opponents when they beat the fighting Langston Stalwarts by a score of 7-0. It was hectic gruelling throughout, both teams displaying powerful lines and spectacular back field men. The outcome of the game was not known until the last four minutes in the fourth quarter when Hart received a pass from center on Langston's 25-yard line and passed a lateral to Junius, and Junius tossed a lateral to Scurry, and Scurry passed a beautiful 30-yard pass to Big City Lucas, who was behind the line to make the first score in the 60-minute battle Scurry then place-kicked it over for the extra point. Both teams threatened to score but did not possess the extra scoring power against the two strong lines. Hart's dashes off-tackle were the feature of the game and these dashes helped put Wilberforce three times in Langston's scoring distance. Talladega and Clark SALISBURY, N.C.-Early last week Coach J. O. Smith called the Livingstone co-ed basketball squad together for their first practice of the season, and twenty-three coeds assembled in the college gymnasium. While the majority were new-comers, four of last year's varsity, Misses Bess, Palmer, Corrothers and Craver, reported and immediately began getting in trim for a strenuous season. Last year the co-eds tied for the State championship with the strong aggregation from Bennett College, and this year the girls are determined to secure undisputed ownership of the State title. Among the newcomers to the squad this year are Melba Cherry, Eloise Miller, Grace Holland, and Pauline Funderburk. Coach Smith is very optimistic about the future and predicts a successful season for the co-eds. For the past three years the girls' team has been the most successful of any team on the campus, losing not more than one or two games a season.

Howard III, Grandson, is Selected for Ceremony at Gettysburg Oliver Otis Howard III, of this city, a grandson of Major General Oliver O. Howard, founder of Howard University, will unveil anquestrian statue of the general at Gettysburg, November 12. Gen. Howard was a native of Maine and commander of the first regiment of Maine volunteers which saw action at Gettysburg. He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for bravery at the battle of Fair Oaks, where he lost an arm. Gov. William T. Gardiner, of Maine, will head a group of distinguished citizens of that state who will attend the ceremony. President Johnson, of Howard University, said, Thursday, that he hoped to carry quite a representative contingent from the university but was unable to enumerate the personnel at this time. A farmer, living near Gavi, Italy, received so many queries concerning his he, which during an 8-day period had produced 33 eggs—8 of which were laid in one day—that he became exasperated, chopped off the hen's head and consigned her body to the family larder. Woman, Shot By Farm Hand Who Mistook Her For Chicken Thief, Dies SANDY SPRINGS, Md.—Kirby Brent, 22-year-old farm hand, on the L. R. Habine farm, who was recently exonerated of all blame in connection with the shooting of a white farm hand, was recalled early this week by authorities after the woman's wounds proved fatal. The woman, Bertha Counts, 27, of Washington Grove, died in Motgomery County General Hospital, Saturday, from the gunshot wounds suffered on September 25, when Brent fired upon her after mistaking her for a chicken thief. State's Attorney Stedman A. Prescott declared following the woman's death that he had thoroughly investigated the shooting at the time it occurred and was satisfied that it was purely accidental, but would question Brent further.

CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED JESS HOLLINS IN OKLA CHANGE OF VENUE GRANTED JESS HOLLINS IN OKLA Association Demands Communists Produce Mrs. Hollins To Testify NEW YORK.—Roscoe Dunge, editor of the Oklahoma Black Dispatch, and president of the Oklahoma State Conference of Branches of the N.A.A.C.P., has telegraphed the National Office that a change of venue from Sapulka to Okmulgea has been obtained in the case of Jess Hollins, whose death sentence had been reversed, and that his retrial will be within 30 days. Meanwhile the N.A.A.C.P. has written to William Z. Foster, head of the Communist Party in the U.S., and Communist candidate for President, demanding that Mrs. Hollins, chief witness for the defense, whom the Communists had made use of in their fund raising campaign, be returned in order to testify, inasmuch as she is the chief witness for the defense. Mrs. Hollins, according to Mr. Dunjee, had been taken out of the State of Oklahoma in the Communist campaign, and "when last heard from Mrs. Hollins was marooned in Brunswick, Mo., without funds." "The N.A.A.C.P. gave the Communists a clear hand in this case," says the N.A.A.C.P. letter. "When we first heard of the case, we communicated with our Oklahoma branches to instruct them to provide legal defense for Hollins and were informed that Mrs. Hollins had chosen to have her husband defended by the I.L.D. The N.A.A.C.P. thereupon refrained from entering the case so that there might be no conflict of forces defending Hollins. NEGRO TEACHERS INCREASE OVER FIFTY PER CENT N. A. A. C. P. Steps In "On August 15, three days before Hollis was to be electrocuted the National Office of the N.A.A. C.P. received a letter stating that the Communist lawyers had done nothing except secure stays of execution, that they had filed no appeal, and that unless someone came to Hollis' rescue he would be electrocuted on the morning of August 18. The N.A.A.C.P. thereupon telegraphed its Oklahoma branches to secure a stay of execution and to employ the best attorneys of the State to defend Hollis. This was done and Hollis went on trial on October 5. "The Communist party, therefore, cannot escape grave responsibility if they fail to make all efforts to return Mrs. Hollins, the crucial witness in the case. . . If you fail to do this, the Communist party and you as its leader will be branded by decent people, white and black, as responsible not only for an inadequate legal defense of Jess Hollins, but for failing to do what you could to make available his chief witness at his trial for life." In response to this letter Joseph Brodsky, attorney for the I. L. D., informed the N.A.A.C.P. that Oklahoma Communists had been instructed to return Mrs. Hollins to testify at her husband's trial. Va. Race Financial Institution Makes Remarkable Showing Despite Depresio'n RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—According to the condensed statement of the financial condition of the Consolidated Bank and Trust Company of this city, one of the several Negro financial institutions in the State, the institution has made a remarkable showing in spite of the depression. The statement was released as of close of business on September 30, 1932, and at that time the institution had cash on hand and due from other banks amounting to more than $42,000. The total deposits figured at that time above the $500,000 mark. The statement also showed that there was on reserve for taxes, accrued interest on deposits, and contingencies more than $5,000. The total resources of the institution are over $700,000. Emmett C. Burke, cashier of the Consolidated Institution, has been managing the affairs of the bank ever since the three banks, the Second Street Savings Bank, St. Lukes' Savings, and the Farmers' and Merchants Bank, consolidated several years ago. Galbraith A.M.E. Zion LITERARY DIGEST (Continued from page 1) mas vote comes from Republicans than the total of Democrats and non-voters in 1928. This gives a new drain on the Hoover vote consideration. Thomas may poll a million Republican votes in protest. Another factor which shows up prominently in the tabulation is the number who did not vote in 1928. Roosevelt has 252,096, while Hoover received 152,076, more than 100,000 for Roosevelt over those for Hoover. Another item in the tabulation of interest is that listed as "State Unknown" — people who signified their intention to vote, 30,749 for Roosevelt and 17,661 for Hoover, but did not give their State. Here Roosevelt leads by a large majority. Taking every "straw" into consideration the writer believes that Governor Roosevelt, may carry Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. And it would not surprise me if Hoover, like Taft in 1912, wound up with only two States to his credit, Vermont and New Hampshire. The President's speech in New York did not help him much, and Senator Carter Glass threw a bomb into the Administration on Tuesday night, which followed by Mills's reprehensible obtaining of his address in advance of delivery added to the desperateness of the Administration. It will no doubt cost them many voes next Tuesday. Dr. Fabian Franklin, of New York, a veteran economist, says: "The Digest's issue for October 15 gives 1,586,810 voters as supporting one or the other of the two major candidates both in 1928 and in 1932, and it shows a Republican loss and a Democratic gain of 375,191, which is 36 per cent of 1,055,327, the number that voted Republican in 1928. This percentage, applied to the entire vote of 1928, would result in giving Hoover 13,691,000 and Roosevelt 28,717,000. a plurality for Roosevelt of 9,026,000."

NEGRO TEACHERS INCREASE OVER FIFTY PER CENT NEGRO TEACHERS INCREASE OVER FIFTY PER CENT (CNS) — Occupational statistics as enumerated for the Fifteenth Census reveal the fact that Negro school teachers in the United States increased from 35,442 to 54,439, or 53.6 per cent in the decade from 1920 to 1930. Of the total for 1930, 45,672 were females and 8,767 males, an increase in female teachers of 16,483, or 56.5 per cent, and in male teachers of 2,514, or 40.2 per cent. It will be readily seen that while the general increase of Negro school teachers was 53.6 per cent for the United States, the per cent of increase in many of the States for the past decade was considerably above the figure. North Carolina, with the largest group of Negro teachers, 5,607, shows an increase of 81.6 per cent. It is interesting to note that New York, New Jersey, Illinois and other Northern States, with mixed schools had increases ranging far above the general per cent of increase. New York, with 162.0 per cent, New Jersey with 101.9 per cent; and Illinois with 92.5 per cent. West Virginia also shows an increase of 95.4 per cent in corps of new teachers. South Carolina and Georgia both show increases, the former with 63.6 per cent and the latter with 31.8 per cent; notwithstanding the fact that Georgia lost 135.,204 of the Negro population in a decade and South Carolina 71.038.

Frec. C. Knollenberg, of counsel retained in the case by the N.A.A.

Halloween marked the closing of their membership drive and the awarding of the Ford V-8 automobile to William P. Davis, of 715 24th street, northwest, whose name was drawn by a blind man, from a basket of slips carrying the names of the members who had secured a new member during the drive. The auto drawing attracted quite a crowd to the auditorium. The dance at the Masonic Temple was of the regular Halloween type and that popular dance emplum attracted hundreds of the merrymakers. U. S. WORKER LOSES (Continued from page 1) clared in a long and apparently well-memorized statement that his had not had a fair trial and "everything was a frame-up. We don't deny that clothing and jewelry identified at the trial as the property of the slain family) found in my room, but who put it there? I was framed." After a few more words he said, "That's all," and sat down. Judge Offutt asked him if he was sure that was all he had to say. Lee again arose and said: "Do you think a man would steal a lot of stuff like that and take it to his room? No, I didn't do it, and I'm not the only man who has been framed down there." Judge Offutt then pronounced the death sentence, and Capt. Charles H. Burns, head of the detective bureau, and six other detectives hurried him from the court-room and took him to the Penitentiary. Lee's first trial, likewise held at Towson, also resulted in the imposition of the death sentence, but a new trial was granted when the Court of Appeals ruled that the jury panel had been improperly drawn because of the exclusion of Negroes. The case which has twice been before the Court of Appeals will again be presented to that high tribunal by the attorneys for the International Labor Defense. On the first occasion the Court of Appeals declined to order the case removed to the Western Shore of Maryland, as requested by the defense, but suggested that it should be done, and the judges in the First judicial circuit, in which the murder occurred, several weeks later granted a change of venue to Towson, in Baltimore county. Previously they had ordered the case removed from Snow Hill to Cambridge. On the second occasion a new trial was granted on the grounds that the jury panel for the first trial at Towson had been drawn improperly, in that no Negroes were included in the panel. The basis of the appeal will involve the same three points set forth on Saturday by Mr. Adex, of the LL.D. Notice of the appeal will be filed within the required thirty days. ‘BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL .... atl4th& TSt.Storeonly.. .

NEW_ YORK — The United States Supreme Court, last week. ‘adjourned, until November 7, with- ‘out ‘handing down .a decision on the Scottsboro lynch. verdicts,” ar: gument on which wes made before it on October 10, This proceeding it: was pointed out, is so unusual ‘as to be almost unprecedented in Suoreme Court prozednre. ’ “As the case stands, the Supreme Court, playing politics with the lives of seven innocent Negro boys now sitting in the death cells of Kilby Prison, Alabama. has post- poned announcement of its decision until after the elections. “The silence of the Supreme Court proclaim that it has a defit- ite place in the political life of the country,” William L.’ Patterson, general’ secretary of the LLD., said. “Tt shows also that the Su: preme Court recognizes that a de- cision, whether favorable or ad- verse, before the elections, would havea definite effect upon them. It shows that, the court has there- fore decided to. delay the political conelusion to be drawn from its decision until after November 8. “The. Supreme Court is a boss class weapon of first importance. It is an instrument of the bosses for deepening the boss-created ha- tred between Negro and white workers.

DIGESTING THE NEWS By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL THE QUADRENNIAL CIRCUS! Next Tuesday (November 8) the circus will be in town. It will be a free-for-all and the last day of the races. All those who have registered for tickets will be able to attend the circus and speak their little pieces. Even transportation will be supplied, if wanted. The circus will be good. It is bound to be. With so much advance publicity, everyone is familiar with the trained animal acts. Elephants that can roar like lions, purr like cats, jump, twist, bend and bow like seasoned acrobats. And donkeys of every description—with and without their bray. Some that are gifted in the art of pantomime and make-up, so much so that those with poor eye-sight can hardly distinguish the Elephant from the Donkey, unless they are labeled. And the Negro! Oh, yes, he will take a mighty important part at the circus. Vehicles, pushed by the strong Elephants or drawn by Donkeys in tandem, will be at the Negro's door and he will ride to the circus tent in style. So much courtesy will be shown him that, to be diplomatic, the Negro will be seen kissing the Donkey while he is hugging the Elephant. Surely, as an actor, the Negro is unsurpassed. Of course, there will be some sections in the country, particularly in the South, where the climate is a little torried, where the Negro will pay but little attention to the The Literary Alcove By ALPHEUS BUTLER POETIC THEORIES (Continued from last week) In regard to the actual content of the "Poetics" of Aristotle we find that it now consists of twenty- six chapters. The plan which Aristotle follows is one which attempts to give a (1) general survey of the poetic art, and (2) the kinds of poetry which he knew and which existed when he wrote. Section I of the Poetics discusses epic poetry, tragedy and comedy under the general head of imitative art. Section II defines tragedy and tells of the principles of its construction. Section III defines epic poetry and the principles of its construction. Section IV deals with problems in erilentia is a sort of FOUR --- Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BURENUE PUBLISHING COMPANY great circus day. But, then, you can't blame him if he thinks too much of enjoying life and the pursuit of happiness to attempt to attend the circus just for one performance, and run the chance of having some of the wild animals, and some that are not wild, just stubborn, jump their traces and proceed to claw, beat, bruise and perhaps kill him or his friends just because they persisted in coming to the circus. But what of the aftermath? Already I can see the Negro press blazoned with pictures and confessions: "Why I Stuck by the Ship," or "Why I Deserted the Ship in a Storm," all depending upon whether the ship is saved, or sunk. And, whether the Elephant or the Donkey reigns supreme we will learn, by reading the Negro press, that "we" made it possible. No matter whether it is the Elephant or the Donkey which will occupy the gilded stable and the green pastures, I'm afraid that it will make but little difference to the Negro during the next four years, for drought and famine are upon us and blood is thicker than water—even in Elephants and Donkeys. Maybe on the fringe of the pastures we may be able to get a nibble here and there but not enough to have it photographed. At any rate the circus will be in town Tuesday. By all means attend it. Speak your piece; take your bow, and then exit for four years. defense of poetry and a reply to the critics of Homer. "The various species of poetry (according to Aristotle) are modes of imitation. That is, the poet like the painter, the musician, the sculptor, has in mind a conception which he will represent for his own and others' delight. The result is not a man of flesh and blood, but an imitation of a man in line and color on a flat surface. So the dramatist, using words, musical notes, and the evolution of a dancing chorus as his 'medium' represents the characters, actions and experiences of men as his 'object.'" The question: Which is the higher form, epic poetry or tragedy? is interestingly answered by Aristotle. In view of the facts that to the four elements of epic poetry tragedy adds spectacle and music, that it attains its end in less space, that there is a stricter unity of action in the tragic than in the epic poets—though the Iliad and Odyssey are as nearly perfect as epic EDITORIAL FEATURES KELLY MILLER SAYS: Propitiation Not Compulsion, Our Hope Propitiation Not Compulsion, Our Hope The Old Guard Seeks to Frighten Negro Voters by Direful Prophesies. Heresy is the antithesis of dogma. Wherever there is a body of fixed belief or doctrine, religious or political, which is passionately held by its devotees, any deviation therefrom is always denounced by the bigot. Orthodoxy used to be considered the crowning virtue; heterodoxy the crowning vice, but the world today is happily liberated from dogma and bigotry. Non-conformity lies at the basis of all progress. So long as we remain chained, body and soul, to a dead tradition, there can be no advance. It is for this reason that for the last ten or more years I have insistently preached, in and out season, that the Negro should free himself from the gyves of the Republican party. Under the pall of this bondage he has steadily retrograded politically for the last fifty years, as he will continue to dq $ _{0} $ for the next fifty. The recent lamentable White House conference illustrated this retrograde tendency. The colored race might well adopt the language of the Apostle Paul: "O wretched man that I am, who shall deliver me from the body of this political corpse?" G.O.P. LEADERS A SERIES OF DIMINISHING TERMS. Note the series of diminishing terms: Roosevelt, Taft, Harding, Coolidge, Hoover. His last state is certainly worse than the first. The present-day Republican party has lost its ancient appeal which compelled allegiance. Its present day representatives have no more moral or political kinship to Lincoln, Sumner and Stevens than the present day Greek shoe-shiner to his ancient and illustrious ancestry. We live at a time when political loyalities are discarded all over the world. The generation of moss-backs and die-hard politicians is rapidly becoming extinct. In 1928 the Democratic Party was split asunder by internal disaffection! The poll of the Literary Digest discloses that thirty to forty per cent of the Roosevelt vote are bolsters from the Hoover column. Of course there always will be found a class of political manipulators who preach party regularity as a means of keeping themselves in position and power. The Negro knuckle-close and never-die Republicans do not serve the G. O. P. for nought. I dare say that every Negro declaimer of the doctrine of never-deviating devotion to the Grand Old Party is either on the pay roll or is in quest of position, compensation, or some other form of personal reward. "Great is Diana of the Ephesians!" cried the craftsmen who poetry can be—it would seem that tragedy is the higher form. "Just as form and colour are used," says Aristotle "as means by some, who (whether by art or constant practice) imitate and portray many things by their aid, and the voice is used by others, so also in the above-mentioned group of arts the means with them as a whole are rhythm, language, and harmony—used, however, either singly or in certain combinations. "Rhythm, alone, without harmony, is the means in the dancer's imitations; a combination of rhythm and harmony alone is the means in flute-playing and lyre-playing." In meeting objections of impossibility, improbability, or contradictions in the poet's language, Aristotle proceeds in this manner: 1. The impossible may be justified by reference to the requirements of poetry. For the purposes of poetry a convincing impossibility is preferable to an unconvincing possibility. 2. The improbable may be justified either by showing it to be in accordance with opinion or by urging that at times it is not probable. 3. The contradictions found in the poet's language one should first test as one does an opponent's confutation in $n$ a dialectal argument, so as to see whether he means the same thing in the same relation and in the same sense, before admitting that he has contradicted either something he has said himself or what a man of sound mind assumes as true. Summarizing, we find that with Aristotle, the artist does look at reality; life is the very thing the poet represents. A work of art is like a living organism with Aristotle. "The poet," he says, "is like the Creator in giving to a work of art the organic quality we find in the works of nature." Art completes nature. The question of the whole is vital. Sooer says: "Whether one chooses metrical language or merely writes in prose, is of no great significance with Aristotle. The question is, does THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1982 made the images. Idol makers will never destroy idolatry, and so our political profiteers will never break the stangle-hold of political bondage which holds us back. NEGROES WILL VOTE 50-50 THIS YEAR But the day of their doom is at hand. The Non-Partizan League pointed out the way, and pointed the way out. Never again can the Republican party control the Negro vote through the dead hand of a spent force. As many Negroes will cast their votes for Roosevelt as for Hoover. I should hate to see the race irretrievably bound to the one or the other. No longer is any one stigmatized with opprobrious epithets for his political alignment. Orthodoxy ever propagates a consistent policy of fear. It always threatens the heretic with future or instant damnation for departure from the faith of the fathers. Note how the dying old guard attempts to threaten the race with direful propheies of what will happen if Garner, the terrible, should by any tragic mischance, become president! What awful fate awaits the race if the administration should fall into the hands of Roosevelt who indicted the Haitian constitution and posted a segregation bulletin. These calamity howlers who would warn us of the wrath to come affect a guileful oblivion of the fact that Garner at present occupies the second most powerful position under the government but the race has suffered no detriment. They delight to ignore that President Hoover is fully committed to all phases of established segregation, and that his own record on race rights and recognition compares not too favorably with that of his New York rival. ROOSEVLT SANCTIONS NEGRO ELECTOR Those who would warn us to flee from the Democratic wrath to come would be hard put to explain the liberality of Governor Roosevelt in placing a Negro presidential elector on his own state ticket in the face of the traditional attitude of the South on which he must depend for basic political support. Let me tell them what it means. It means that this proffer of political support on the part of the Negro is met more than half way by the liberal spirit of the Democratic party, not only of the North, but of the South as well. Whatever Garner, the Southern provincial politician, may have said or done is neither a fair nor generous gauge of what he is likely to do when his views broaden to meet the expanding national horizon. There has been no act of his as Speaker of the House which evinces an anti-Negro attitude. Ask Congressman DePriest. The Negro hopes sooner or later to come into the full fruition of citizenship, North, and especially, South. This will not be accomplished by compulsion, but propitiation. The division of the Negro vote, North and South, in the impending election, is the harbinger of the dawn of a better political day. the writer use his imagination? Does he represent men engaged in a great and unified action, with its parts duly fitted together? In regard to the date of composition and the style of the vital. Cooper says: "The 'Poetics' no doubt came into being after Aristotle settled as teacher and investigator at Athens in 335 E.C., and before he left Athens in 323...Very fond of logic and tending perhaps to judge a poem too exclusively by formulas, he has a great, simple, normal mind, demanding that, whatever poetry may contain it must be founded in good sense."

Scholars attending the annual meeting of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History in Atlanta on the 13th of November will take up the matter as to how the Negroes of the United States should participate next year in the centennial celebration of the anniversary of the triumph in 1833 of William Wilberforce and his co-workers in the struggle for freedom in the British Empire. Any Negro with a sense of gratitude will not let this great demonstration in England fail to affect him in some way. These reformers early attacked the traffic in human flesh and finally came out boldly for the extermination of that moral and economic evil which we call slavery. The Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, of London, is taking the lead in the preparation for the anniversary. Nothing can be more appropriate than to have this organization thus function. It has come down to us from the early anti-slavery efforts of Thomas H. Clarkson, Granville Sharp, and Zachary Macaulay. BRITISH SOCIETY AIDED ABOLITIONISTS HERE These men were trying not only to emancipate the Negroes within their own jurisdiction, but they were endeavoring to exterminate the institution wherever it existed. In this way they aided the efforts of the abolitionists in the United States. They stimulated also similar endeavors in the anti-slavery circles in France, of such men as Le Comte de Mirabeau, Le Marquis de Lafayette, Condorcet, Jean Pierre Brissot, Claviere, and later Sieyes, Petion, Gregoire, Robespierre, and the Duke de la Roche-foucauld. John H. Harris, parliamentary secretary of the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection Society, has been asked to write an appropriate biology of William Wilberforce to mark particularly this celebration. To make this treatment both interesting and valuable it is desired that historians on this side will not only supply him with evidences of the influence of William Wilberforce in the struggle for freedom in America, but that they will furnish him also with facts showing the conditions in this country against which Wilberforce and his co-workers inveighed. FRIENDS OF FREEDOM IN U. S. SHOULD ASSIST This celebration in England, then, will be in many respects a world demonstration of the appreciation of the people of today for these men who had the courage to fly in the face of public opinion and proclaim equality and justice as the only real platform for the progress of mankind. While persons from other parts of the world will make their contribution to this most timely and significant observance, the friends of freedom on this side of the Atlantic, especially, should join heartily with them. The Negroes of this day cannot expect friends to make the sacrifice of losing economic opportunity and social position in fighting their battles if they are to be easily forgotten by those who have benefited by their martyrdom. These friends of freedom in Europe, moreover, are appealing for more moral support from the Negroes on this side. What they are doing redounds especially to the good of the native in Africa and thus indirectly to persons of African blood in all parts of the world. ENGLAND'S ANTI-SLAVERY BODY. STILL ACTIVE Immediately after the emancipation of slaves in the British Empire—just as it happened here after the Civil War—those who had formerly enslaved the Negroes thought to impose upon them other disabilities and thus reduce them to a State not much better than that of slavery. These daring reformers in England have kept up the fight against such a policy and have thereby enabled the Negro in the British Empire to escape as much serfdom as he has. At the present time, however, they are battling against similar conditions in Africa. In the South African Union, in Kenya, in Rhodesia, in the Cameroons, and wherever such conditions obtain, they are fighting forced labor, which is slavery in another form. They are denouncing the land policy of the British dependencies by which the natives are deprived of the best soil and turned loose to die in the unproductive wilderness. These reformers are still insisting that the native be left in possession of his land and be given adequate education and ample opportunity for social and economic development. As Wilberforce and Clarkson achieved a nominal emancipation of the slaves in their day, so may these workers, by securing proper co-operation, OTHER PAPERS SAY: OTHER PAPERS SAY: LILY WHITISM vs. WHITE PRIMARY (From the Black Dispatch) Oklahoma. City, Okla. The Negro voter had just as well face the cold hard facts. Lily-whitism of the Republican party is just as harsh, unjust and immoral as the Democratic white primary. Both movements are steeped in the desire to rid the two organizations of the Negro voter. Both are in fact jim-crow and segregation. President Hoover, who now slushes all over the Negro voter, has spent four years trying to force the Negro out of party control in the South. When President Hoover sent Mabel Willebrandt to Mississippi, in an attempt to send Perry Howard to the penitentiary because Howard happened to be at the head of the Republican organization, he openly said to you and to me that Negroes shall not have any voice in the councils of the Republican party, so far as I am concerned. This writer sat in the Republican National Convention in Kansas City and saw the Republican organization force "Gooseneck Bill" McDonald outside of the party organization. The Talbert faction down in the Carolinas went the same way. Ben Davis was also ousted from leadership and control. It is because of this very condition in which Negro suffrage finds itself, that the Black Dispatch has assumed the independent position where we now stand. We cannot and will not stulify our conscience and refuse to recognize the sterility and impotency of the Negro vote as now cast. Negro suffrage today is straight-jacketed between Democratic hate and Republican indifference. Suffering, bleeding, destitute, but loyal to dead traditions, the mass of Negro voters gulibly swallow the argument dispensed by Republicans at election time about "you would not be allowed to vote but for me," etc. In return for this vote the Republican party does out to a few Negroes in the city of Washington a few jobs. It is this pie-counter crowd which is yellong now about standing by the Republican party. Negroes are today, during the current depression, losing their homes and property. In fact, the American Negro will perhaps be economically set back a quarter of a century by reason of the depression. What are our Negro political alarmists doing about this situation? What sort of bargain are they driving with government and party organization to sustain the masses in comfort and the blessings of the citizenship? The Congress of the United States has authorized Home Loan Banks to expend 200 million dollars in protecting the homes of citizens all over the United States. Three hundred million dollars will be expended on the public highways. With a lavish hand the government, under the semi-supervision of state government will pass to the people these huge sums in order to stabilize our economic structure until prosperity and normal times return. How close is the Negro $t_0$ State government? Take, for example, the highways which run through your county. Are the Negroes of ceed in solving the problems of the descendants of these bond-men. EUROPEAN REFORMERS WORKING EFFECTIVELY The method of attack of these reformers, too, is not the fool-hardy one which we often resort to in the United States. They are not pouting and passing resolutions as we do when a new form of segregation is imposed upon us because we have recently advocated and accepted the same sort of segregation in another form. These men and women are lobbying the British Parliament and the legislative bodies of other lands to secure action in behalf of the oppressed natives throughout the world. I was especially pleased to find Mr. Harris and his staff of workers at the League of Nations meeting in Geneva last month when they endeavored to bring before that body every complaint which has been reported to them from the oppressed in the modern world. OUR INDIFFERENCE When we think of such unselfish effort in our behalf made by members of the race to which we do not belong, we must bow our heads in shame in contemplating the little that we do to save ourselves from the new bondage $t_0$ which we are now being directed. The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, therefore, backed by the sentiment of the intelligent Negroes of the United States, will not only dispatch a word of greeting to these reformers in England but will try to raise sufficient money to send to London for that celebration next year a courageous member of the face—some one who will not merely participate passively in these exercises but will express in no uncertain terms our keen appreciation of what they have done for liberty and freedom. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL your county getting any portion of the millions being spent for common labor? Common reason should cause the Negro to see that a close hookup with the majority party in Oklahoma will place the Negro in a position so that he can secure employment. Thousands of white citizens are working on the public highways, while Negroes stand on the sidelines, voting for folk who will have nothing to do with the dispensing of this federal money. When you go to the polls November 8, remember that Abraham Lincoln cannot pay your taxes, and that your baby cannot eat tradition. So far as the use of your ballot is concerned, we might forget both Hoover and Roosevelt. It would not make much difference if we were voting for the elephant or the mule, it should be a vote cast on the proposition that one or the other of these animals would serve best the common weal. NO TIME FOR WISE-CRACKING We were disappointed in the kind of speech the Hon. Oscar DePriest made last Monday night at the big Republican meeting here. He stooped to the role of a wise-cracker against the Democrats and failed to present the strength of the Republican party. This is no time to make or save Republican votes by calling people crazy. This is not the type of hard common-sense of the DePriest of 1928, the DePriest of the Non-partisan League, who gained the confidence of his group and the respect of the other group. The Republican leaders may believe it or not, but there is a definite trend of Negroes away from the Republican party on November 8. And those who are waving and doubtful, which is the status of many, are not to be held to the Republican fold by ridicule and wisecrack, not by calling them a "small 2x4 variety," nor by sobbing over Abraham Lincoln. However, the Honorable DePriest perhaps showed a part of his former strength when he turned to the white Republican leaders on the platform and said: "And if you you Republican leaders in St. Louis are wise you will indorse some worthy Negro for election to the Board of Aldermen and for other major offices and elect them. That's the way to hold the Negro vote in St. Louis. They must be given recognition beyond that of minor places." That was ringing the bell, and that kind of straight-from-the-shoulder talk with a response from the party leaders will save more Republican votes than anything else. There is ample merit and advantage in the Republican party if only the leaders will apply them to the Negro constituency as it does to other groups. The scarecrow and ridicule methods will fall while the other will succeed. And there is time yet for a new and constructive program to be put forth by the Republicans. Will it be done, or will the old order be used? LOOKING FOR A CHANCE (From the New York Times) This Presidential campaign approaches its end amid a general conviction that a great political change is impending. It was said of William Pitt, when Prime Minister of England, that he had received "secret warnings which forebode the cyclones in which Governments go down." The warnings which have for many weeks been reaching Washington have not been secret—the secrets have been open to the whole country. There are many familiar ways of testing the flow and intensity of public opinion, and this year nearly all of them have indicated the same result of the election on November 8. The coming of the Democratic party into power is now not only expected but discounted in advance. Why should the country look forward to a change in the Government not only without dismay but with satisfaction and confidence? For one thing, it would mark the continued virility of a great American political tradition. This is government by party. It may not be the best system that the wit of man could devise, but it is the one by which we have thus far lived az a nation. Its successful working depends absolutely upon the fact, or the belief, that an alternative party, an opposition party, is always available for the people when they wish to displace the one that has been in office. If the country has but a single party "fit to rule," and if it may arrogantly count upon always being entrenched in power, one need not ask what the consequences will be. They are certain to be inefficiency and corruption within the party itself, and for the people a sense of being forever and hopelessly deprived of the power of punishment for political sins. A strong and trustworthy parity in reserve is essential to our whole theory of government. If it did not exist, it would have to be invented. This year it cannot be denied by any fair-minded man that the Democratic party presents itself to the country as at least eligible for a return to office. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER Some years ago the writer of this column was editor of the "Children's Page," a feature of the Tribune, and since that time may of the contributors to the pae communicates with him.

YOUTH'S CORNER YOUTH'S CORNER By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Congratulations are in order to the Tribune sponsors of this year's Washington's Popularity Contest for the members of the gentler sex Not only will the winner receive half-a-grand, but she will also be the recipient of a new winter and fall outfit besides decorating her mansion with one of those new-fangled things they call a refrigerator. I am hoping that in addition to these wonderful rewards for popularity, that I am sure will be richly deserved, some generous and beneficient soul will donate a couple of tickets to the lucky girl so that she may avail herself and her companion of a chance to witness night life as it exists in Washington and in the Club Prudhom. Good luck to you, girls—and may the best "man" win. Gentle Reader: I have been more than pleased with the many inquiries from many of you as to whether or not this column would be continued for your weekly perusing. It bears out one of my earlier contentions that Negro youth will support race periodicals, businesses and organizations, provided the proper inducements and incentives are given to them. Without ay attempt to display or manifest any vanity or pride, I have been very thankful to the "gods" who have enabled me to render this particular kind of service to the youth of Washington. We youngsters can secure even greater benefits and advantages from our community if we would only "get up on our feet" and ask for the things we desire. Six of Washington's miniature beau brummels, namely Montague Pollard, Calvin Pendleton, Jack Craven, Wilmer Dickerson, Charles Braxton and Alvin Webb (excuse this egotistic tossing of bouquets) have banded themselves into a unit to be known as the Don Juans. The Don Juans will sponsor a dance during the first week in December. In addition to the dance the organization will present themselves in popular skirts and songs, featuring Monty Pollard, the WOL erooner and entertainer; Charles Braxton and Clifton Mack—just to mention a few. A new club has sprung into the limelight of Washington's growing list of social organizations. These young gentlemen (for gentlemen they really are) have designated themselves as the Don Juans. At their initial meeting the following officers were chosen: president, Alvin Webb; recording secretary, Wilmer Dickerson; treasurer, Montague Pollard; business manager, James Sellman. The other members include Calvin Pendleton, Charles Braxton, Jack and James Craven, Charles Smith, Courtland Smith, and John Taylor. Plans for a dance are being contemplated. The Marquis, another newly organized unit, under the leadership of Richard (Beau Brummel) Johnson, is also making rapid strides of progress in the local social world. At their last meeting a repast consisting of fried chicken and soft refreshments was partaken by the officers and members. The Reginas (of whom I shall write more fully later) gave a very pretty pre-Halloween dance at Masonic Temple last Friday evening. They had a wonderful attendance, drawing in exceeding numbers the belles and beaux of the local high schools. The Saturday Night Assembly continues to be the mecca of lovers of the repsiphorean art every Saturday evening. Many of the leading clubs are sponsoring matinee dances as a prelude to the Assembly's regular Saturday night feature. Wonder if It's True That: The progressive satellites of Shaw Night School are banding themselves together in a student council. When the famous Mills Brothers came to town many of the w.k. feminine eligibles played little "stage door Janies." Many of the colored football fans who journeyed to Griff. Stadium here last Friday night to witness the heroic efforts of their native son, Windy Wallace, in the Iowa.G.W. game received the usual job—segregation of a Negro player. That a certain local business man will soon announce plans for that afore-mentioned girls' basketball team this winter. The "numbers" game is attracting our white brothers and sisters by the myriads. His Highness of Hi-de-bo will be back for a return engagement in the not too distant future at our own theatre. A. bunch of night students are in hopes of inaugurating a debating society among the boys and girls this winter. YOUTHFUL. PERSONALITIES NO. 6 Jessica Edwards uate of the Cardozo Business High School, class of January, 1932. Ladies and Gentlemen, meet Miss Jessie Edmonson. To my mind one of the most valuable assets that a young lady should possess or rather, one of the greatest gifts that she could boast of is the quality of enthusiasm or zest for athletics and sports. It is an outward indication that she is alive and normal. Jessie likes to watch good clean sports and games. During her regime at Cardozo she was one of that team's most ardent supporters. At present she is a member of a Girls' club that are seemingly bent on going places and doing things. She recently confided in me by telling me some of their secret hopes and ambitions. They sounded very hopeful and with Jessie at the helm—I wish them success and happiness. The Exalted Ruler and his cabinet, of Columbia Lodge No. 85, with the Grand Exalted Ruler, J.

Prevention of Tuberculosis Telephone District 8311 BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL BUS CRASHES THRU DOCK. SENDING 18 TO WATERY GRAVE Trapped in Sinking Vehicle Jubilee Singers Die Like Rats NATCHEZ, Miss.—A band of jubilee singers, 17 colored and one white, plunged to a watery grave here last Sunday night when a school bus in which they were passengers crashed through the guard gates of the dock of the Royal Route Company and went into the Mississippi River. Five passengers on the bus were rescued as they leaped from the sinking vehicle, while the others, trapped in the enclosed bus, died like rats. They never had a chance. The bus. recovered from the river Monday contained only the bodies of three women. The Rev. Thomas Stamps, of the new St. Mark Baptist Church of Waterproof, La., was director of the group. He had chartered a bus, operated by Alma Ellzey white, to take the citizens to Meadville, Miss., to attend the final session of a Baptist convention, which was on its return trip when the tragedy occurred. Eighteen-year-old James Bernard, a ferry workman, is being hailed as a hero, for it was through his efforts that five passengers of the bus were rescued from the river. They were Ellzey, the driver, and Duke Cooley, both white; George Stegall, Ernest Howard and Frances Leach, the last three colored. Joseph Bowman, Moselle, Miss., the only white man to lose his life, and Cooley did not make the trip to Meadville, but were being given a ride back to Clayton by Ellzey. Ellzey, in relating his story of the tragedy, said that he could not see far ahead because of the darkness, but as he approached the landing he heard some one say come ahead. He said that he took this to mean that the ferry had docked and was ready for the truck to move aboard. He started moving down the hill. Ellzev said that as he reached the gate of the ferry landing he discovered that it was not open but added that he was not able to stop the bus. PHYLLIS WHEATLEY Y. W. C. A.

Dorsely, of the political science department, showed that the incohevence and lack of distinctive and peculiar program of the Democratic party is occasioning its disintegration.

By NINA TEMPLE Take a good look at your back to see whether it is really lovely, whether the skin is soft and smooth, evenly colored, not pimpled. If there is anything wrong with it begin at once to get it in shape before you are ready to wear that low-backed evening gown this winter. Get a friend to lend a hand with the nightly coarse towel rub with a fine soap and warm water, then massage with cocoa butter, if you are too bony, and lastly use a mild bleach. After two weeks of this treatment you will be ready to turn your back on the crowd. AMERICAN STORES CO.

CIVIC ASSOCIATION WANTS GRADUATES FOR NIGHT TEACHERS THEATERS SPORTS BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL D. C. TEACHERS' COLLEGES TO JOIN NATIONAL BODY D. C. TEACHERS' COLLEGES TO JOIN NATIONAL BODY Pay of Substitutes and CustodiansCut by Board of Education Two New Teachers Appointed; Gas Station Near Cleveland School Opposed The two resolutions from the Federated Civic Associations asking that appointments of night school teachers be made from the graduates of the normal schools and colleges of the city, and that day school teachers be appointed only to administrative positions, came up before the board of education at its meeting, Wednesday afternoon. The resolutions were referred to the superintendent, Frank W. Bailou, for investigation and report to the board. Salaries of substitute teachers and custodians were ordered cut 8% per cent to conform to the provisions of the economy act. A substitute teacher has received $4,00 a day, taken from the salary of the regular teacher, and proportionate salary is deducted for substitute custodians. While the regular teachers' salary cuts started with the beginning of the school year, the substitutes have escaped this deduction until the board acted Wednesday. All salaries up to $1,000 are exempted from cutting. Mrs. Henry G. Doyle is chairman of the personnel committee, which made these recommendations. Colleges to Join Association The board authorized the superintendent to apply for membership of Miner and Wilson Teachers' Colleges in the American Association of Teachers' Colleges. If accepted this will give the two colleges grade "A" standing and the graduates will have a credit standing with the colleges of the country. The board went on record as opposing the establishment of a gas station at the northeast corner of Elghth and T streets, northwest. This is just across the street from the Cleveland graded school and would prove a menace to the more than 800 children enrolled at the school. Gas Station Opposed Dr. J. Hayden Johnson offered the motion to oppose the establishment of the gas station. The date for the dedication of the Young Junior High School, Twenty-fourth and O streets, and Bennings road, northeast, was changed from Tuesday to Wednesday of next week, as Tuesday is election day. The Brown platoon school close by the Young School will be dedicated on the 10th.

C.-BALTIMORE BAPTIST PASTORS IN JOINT SESSION The twenty-fifth annual joint session of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and Vicinity and the Baltimore Alliance of Baptist Ministers was held Monday at Eton Baptist Church in the Maryland City.

The goal this year is based on the actual amount pledged last year. Newbold Noyes, chairman of the campaign committee, is emphatic in his statement that the goal set is the minimum amount necessary for the social work program of the sixty-three agencies of mercy which comprise the Community Chest. This has been demonstrated, he points out, by the fact that even with $350,000 appropriated by the District for unemployment relief, the demands on the family welfare agencies of the chest have mounted higher and higher until right at this moment they are heavier than they have ever been before in the history of Washington. "The people of Washington must realize that this is a task that not only ought to be done but one that must be done," Mr. Noyes said. "It behooves every Washingtonian who has a home, who has food, who has a job, however small, to give to the utmost of his ability to aid the thousands of people who have nothing. This can best be accomplished by giving to the Community Chest which serves all races and creeds and which renders an accounting showing where every dollar subscribed by generous Washington goes." 60 Per Cent New Applicants More than 60 per cent of the applicants asking for some sort of social welfare service during the first nine months of 1933 are people who have never before applied $t_0$ an agency for help. This is disclosed in figures made public by the Social Service Exchange, the confidential clearing house for all organizations doing welfare or charitable work in the District. A striking example of the increasing number of persons hitherto self-supporting who are asking help this year is given by Mrs. Mary A. C. Leute, secretary of the exchange, in the number of inquiries cleared by the new Emergency Relief Bureau from August 1 to October 1. This bureau, according to Mrs. Leute, reported 8,578 applications for relief of which only 3,520, or less than 40 per cent were known to have previously received help from any organization. Help Demands Increase Mrs. Leute also disclosed the tremendous increase in demands for help as demonstrated by the 74,835 applications for help cleared through the exchange in the first nine months of this year, a gain of 99.6 per cent over the 37,494 applications cleared during the same months of 1931. The Social Service Exchange, it is pointed out, furnishes an accurate index of conditions of need in the District by the fluctuation of inquiries either up or down. It serves as a clearing house for all organizations, and like the commercial clearing houses, its information is confidential. Only the authorized representative of a social work organization can obtain information regarding the standing of any person with the exchange. U.S. Senate Chaplain to Speak at St. Luke's The Rev. Z. B. Phillips, rector of the Church of the Epiphany, and chaplain of the United States Senate, will preach the sermon at the special even-song service at St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Sunday, November 6, at 5 p.m. Music will be furnished by the choir under the direction of the organist and choirmaster, Clyde Glass.

Walker, 37, an electrician, received lacerations of the scalp when struck with a blunt instrument. All were treated at Freedmen's Hospital emergency ward. SECOND SECTION NINE TEACHERS Baltimore Minister Is Guest Speaker at Asbury --- SOME GOSSIP THAT— "I ONLY HEARD" By And Rivers Hartwell Cook and his New Casino Orchestra on WRC last Friday evening at 5:45 p.m., and will I listen in at 5:45 p.m. this Friday? And every Friday? I'll say I will. Anybody who doesn't hear Hartwell's band is chaeting himself. Things will pop at Thanksgiving time - Howard and Lincoln will add the right proportion of spice to our jaded social atmospheres. And I've been hearing about social happenings that will happen in a big way. Now that Dizzy Vance has been elected the "Mayor of You Street", all I want to know is: Who was left "holding the bag?" But was Dizzy the locks? Parading U street-high silk hat, cut-a-way coat, blue cane; and -airing out in Evelyn Peyton's car; top back and all. But back to music and dancing—heard many favorable comments from those who attended the recent Casino "house dances." All claim to have gotten their money's worth—especially from the first one, a "freebie." Lester Dorsey can really sing. He appeared on that occasion. A pansie atmosphere was furnished Halloween night. Alden Garrison entertained. The music--you know--. May plays that thing and says "Say It Isn't So"; Bill moans the sax and "squawks" that little song called "Dinah". Alice mutes the tinn horn and the big gang reels and rocks. Thanksgiving dance attractions that don't have Hartwell's Band will necessarily have "second best" music. Meanwhile—I'm still listening to those who heard Hartwell play his own composition, "Stop The Sun, Stop The Moon, My Gal's Gone!" while Barrington Guy chirped over WRC last Friday. Hartwell says he will write new hits. His patrons will dance to tunes that the nation will sing and hum next year, he says. The Rev. A. J. Mitchell, pastor of St. Paul M. E. Church of Baltimore, was the guest speaker at the Washington Ministers' Conference of the M.E. Church Monday night at Asbury M.E. Church. The speaker discussed the new laws of the church. Only Three Nominated For "Queen Of The Classic" Vivian Turner is loading the "Queen of the Classic" contest, which ends next week. Mrs. Turner is popular in social circles throughout the East. In second place is Mrs. Emma Green, present leader of the "Miss Washington of 1932" contest, which is being sponsored by the Lichtman Theatres. In third place is Helen Eagles, who is runner-up to Mrs. Green in the popularity contest. The "Queen of the Classic" is being chosen for the first time from Washington ladies. She will reign supreme during the gala social season at Thanksgiving time and will be honored with appropriate ceremony at the Howard-Lincoln game and at the elite dances. Object of Contest The rules governing the selection of the queen, specify that the queen must be chosen from the candidates in the Lightman Theatres' Popularity Contest. The queen need not be leading the popularity contest to be chosen, for the basis of selection is different from the popularity feature governing the choosing of "Miss Washington of 1932". Popularity, good-looks and variety of social contacts should all play a part in the selection of the "Queen of the Classic". The public is requested to examine the list of candidates in the popularity contest and to vote this week for the "Queen of the Classic". This is your last chance to help select the queen. Voting for the queen closes November 11. Add to this list! Standing: Vivian Turner .....59 Emma Green .....54 Helen Eagles .....37 "QUEEN OF THE CLASSIC" NAME ... ADDRESS (if known) ... In my opinion the above girl represents the best Collegiate type. (Mail or bring to 520 U Street, N. W.)
