POLICE GO ON RAMPAGE ON U STREET 7 CENTS PER COPY Rutherfords and Smith Blamed for Failure of National Benefit Life Actuaries Say that their Management was Lax, Incompetent, Unwise RISHER REGIME COMMENDED District Insurance Department Brought in for Severe Censure In a supplemental report filed last week by the actuaries now engaged in unraveling the National Benefit affairs, the causes of the failure of the company, as seen by them, are enumerated under nine heads. The blame is placed chiefly on mis-management by the Rutherfords and Mortimer Smith, who controlled the company up to June, 1931; but the regime set up at that date, headed by Risher, Washington, Pinkett, and others, is commended for its efforts. Concerning this matter the report says: Risher Regime Inaugurated "At a directors' meeting June 17, 1931, a new regime was inaugurated, consisting of the following officers and directors: J. T. Risher, president and chairman of the board; L. C. Washington, first vice-president; J. R. Pinkett, second vice-president and manager of agencies; H. I. Brown, third vice-president and counsel; C. B. Lee, treasurer; J. C. Arnold, secretary; William Newman, J. Finley Wilson, C. C. Dejoie, R. R. Moton, W. M. McDonald, Dr. William G. Lofton, and Walter L. Carter. "It is evident that this new regime realized to some considerable extent the difficulties into which the company had been brought. From the time of its induction the minutes of the board meetings were properly kept, setting forth in desirable detail considerations and actions. "Apparently this new regime proceeded to determine the status (Continued on page 2) TWO AUTO DRIVERS EXONERATED IN BABY KILLING After an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday, the coroner's jury decided that the ambulance crash in which a three-year-old child was killed and five other persons were injured on February 27, was an accident. The verdict exonerated Clarence Montgomery, 505b Twenty-third Street, Northwest, driver of the ambulance, and Oren Lentz, Sr., of Spring Park, Md., whose son, Oren, Jr., was killed in the crash. Lentz's car and the ambulance collided at Fourteenth and E Streets, Northwest, on the night of February 27. The occupants of the Lentz car claimed that they did not hear the siren of the ambulance. Mrs. Leah Lentz and her infant son Jerrrell, are still in Emergency Hospital with injuries received in the crash. Others injured have been discharged. The collision resulted in the promulgation of a new traffic regulation for bidding emergency vehicles from traveling faster than 30 miles an hour through the city. WOMAN CUTS MATE WITH RAZOR An altercation between James Groomes, 36, and Jennie Groomes at 1429 Eighth Street, Northwest, Monday night, resulted in the former receiving razor cuts to the body.

Mrs. Mary Bates, mother of the girl, told investigators that her daughter left home on Monday night, February 27, and that she had not been heard from since. Police said she did not appear unduly alarmed. "I was afraid she had been kidnapped, and I wouldn't go to the police through fear," Mrs. Bates told officers. She stated that she was afraid harm would come to herself or her daughter, if she reported her disappearance, and for that reason had kept quiet. Get Change of Venue SCOTTSBORO, Ala.—Judge A. E. Hawkins on Tuesday granted a change of venue in the "Scottsboro attack case," and designated Decatur as the site for the trials. FAKE PHYSICIAN GETS 2 YEARS ON PERJURY CHARGE "Dr." Martin Charged with Making Two False Affidavits Theophilus W. Martin was sentenced to two years by Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court, last Friday, on a charge of perjury. Martin was arrested over a year ago on a charge of practicing medicine in the District of Columbia without a permit. On this charge he was sentenced February 11 to 90 days in jail and a $100 fine, or an additional 30 days if the fine is not paid. He had an office in Washington about five years ago in the vicinity of Nineteenth and L Streets, Northwest, and was known as one of the most popular "physicians" in the city. Dr. Martin entered a plea of guilty to making false affidavits in order to secure permits to write narcotic and whiskey prescriptions, in the city. About two years ago "Doctor" Martin went to Haiti, accompanied by his wife. He returned fourteen months later and re-opened his office near Nineteenth and L Streets, Northwest. His attorneys, George Hayes and William McKiniey Murray, made a plea to the court for clemency for their client and asked that Martin be placed on probation. Man Who Died at Walter Reed was Not Veteran John Lawson who died at Walter Reed Hospital on February 22 was not John Lawson, a world war veteran, it was disclosed this week at the District morgue. A man entered the hospital several weeks ago and told attendants that he was a veteran. He gave the name of John Lawson, of no fixed address. After his death, a local undertaker who has a contract to bury veterans whose relatives are not able to pay for burials, made an investigation concerning the man and found that he never saw service. The body was sent to the morgue where it was identified by a man who said he was a friend. After relatives failed to claim the body it was cremated Wednesday. WHITE OFFICERS FAIL TO OBEY ORDER OF MARCH Colored Cadets March in Rear Rather Than Cause Disturbance Despite the fact that a verbal order was given before the inaugural parade than the Ninth Brigade of high school cadets was to march in front of John Marshall and Washington and Lee high schools of Virginia, the parade marshal refused to carry out the order when the march started. Ninth Brigade officials stated that they protested to G. David Houston, principal of Armstrong high school and chairman of the special inaugural committee, when they learned that colored cadets were to bring up the rear of the first division. It was also pointed out that the local high schools ranked higher than the white Virginia units. Parade officials told Mr. Houston and Captain Arthur Newman, commander and military instructor in the high schools, that the colored cadets were to be placed in front of the Virginia units and claimed that they would issue instructions to the white cadets' commanders and the marshal of the parade to this effect. Capt. Newman Avoided Disturbance When Captain Newman brought his cadets into line ahead of the white cadets the officer of the Virginia students protested and claimed he was carrying out the official parade order in placing his group in front of the colored cadets. Rather than create a disturbance Captain Newman marched the Ninth Brigade into line behind the Virginia schools, and in this order traversed the entire length of the march. The Ninth Brigade was lustily cheered all along the Avenue for its military bearing and soldierly cadence. Other outfits to receive a large share of the applause were the machine gun troop of the Tenth Cavalry, the Howard University R.O.T.C. and band, a battalion of the First Separate Company, National Guards, Baltimore, and Company A, 372nd Infantry of the District; four members of the G.A.R.; James Walker and James Reese Europe Posts, American Legion; Veterans of Foreign Wars, Morning Star and Columbia lodges of Elks, and the Spanish-American War veterans. ELDER MICHAUX HOLDS SERVICE AT AUDITORIUM 7,000 Inside, 2,000 Turned Away, as Chorus Sing "Happy Am I" Nearly seven thousand people crowded into the Washington Auditorium last Sunday night to hear Elder Lightfoot Michaux broadcast over Station WJSV. Upon arriving at the auditorium the Rev. Mr. Michaux had to seek entrance through a stage door. Due to the crowd and because the firemen had prohibited the crowding of the aisles by those who could not be seated, the doors had been closed to stop the inflow of the people who were seeking admittance. A one hundred-voice chorus composed of Elder Michaux's choirs of Washington, Baltimore and Newport News, began the program by broadcasting "Happy Am I." Locomotive on Stage Two features of the program were the appearance on the stage of the Michaux locomotive as the chorus sang "When We Get to Heaven," and the lowering of a fourteen-foot crucifix on which were the words: "Willingly Jesus Suffered for Victory" (WJSV). Elder Michaux offered a prayer in which he asserted that President Roosevelt should be given full dictatorship. The prayer was followed by the singing of "Happy Am I." After the slogan yell, which is Continued on Page 3 I.L.D.

Milton Altfeld's bill repealing the separate car statutes. A number of the house of delegates sat unofficially with the Senate committee. had taken seats in the front of the car. They were asked to move to the rear section by the conductor, M. G. Schafer. Ordered to Move Upon their refusal to move, the police were called. Trooper T. D. Myers and James E. Loman told the two men to move. Berger, according to Myers, spoke for them asserting they did not intend to move. The police arrested the two The hearing was convened in the senate chamber by chairman S. Scott Beck (Dem., Kent County), with nearly a hundred proponents of the bill, for the most part Negroes, among those present. The senators' seats were crowded with members of the delegation, and the aisles were partly filled with others. A short while after attending the hearing Louis Berger, white, secretary of the LLD. League and Leighton Wields and Jesse Page, colored, were arrested for violating the Jim Crow law. With Louis Berger, secretary of the league, the two colored men boarded a car at the Bladon street station of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad and DePRIEST URGES SUPPORT FOR ROOSEVELT Says Forget Party and Work for Preservation of Peace and Prosperity Colored voters were urged to forget party affiliation and support President Franklin D. Roosevelt for the preservation of peace and prosperity in America, by Representative Oscar DePriest in an address at the citizens' testimonial and banquet given Monday night at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church. Mr. DePriest pointed out that this is not the time for political fights, but the time to help America. Democratic measures in Congress that he deemed right would be supported. Many of the prominent Republican leaders holding governmental posts and supposed to have appeared on the program were flayed as being weak-kneed by the Illinois Congressman for their non-appearance. Because of the absence of Dean Kelly Miller and the Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, the topics on "How Negro Executives Have Measured Up in the Department of Commerce and Labor," and "The Recorder of Deeds" were omitted from the program. Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes discussed Dr. Ambrose Caliver and the office of the Bureau of Education. Tribute to Dr. Roscoe C. Brown and the U. S. Public Health Service was made by Dr. Herbert Marshall, Jr. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., extolled Judge W. C. Hueston and his work as assistant solicitor in the Post Office Department. Judge James A.

At the approach of officers the youth is said to have broken a jar of liquor he carried. Since the evidence was destroyed police could do nothing except place the glass-breaking charge against him. had taken seats in the front of the car.

Loman told the two men to move. Berger, according to Myers, spoke for them asserting they did not intend to move. The police arrested the two Negroes and when Berger said he should be taken too, took the three to headquarters. Berger was charged with disorderly conduct and the other men with violating the Jim Crow law. They waived a hearing before Magistrate Louis M. Hopkins and asked for a jury trial. Magistrate Hopkins held the three under $500 bond each for the April term of the Anne Arundel Circuit Court. Berger said he planned to fight the case through the court and would confer with Bernard Ades, attorney for the league. He said the colored men lived at Tom Mooney Hall, 20 South Lloyd Street, Baltimore. Fields said he had not had work for two years, while Page said his last job ended eight months ago. MINER TEACHERS' COLLEGE NOW IN CLASS A Official Investigator Praises President and Faculty Very Highly Miner Teachers' College has been given Class A rating and is now accredited by the American Association of Teachers' Colleges. The rating was granted at the meeting of the association at Minneapolis, Minn., February 25. President Clark, of Miner, attended the meeting. H. W. Rockwell, president of State College, Buffalo, N.Y., made the survey of the college for the association, in December, and found one point of deficiency, the library. That has been adjusted by the donation of $25,000 with which to purchase the books necessary to bring up that point. The association requires at least 15,000 volumes for the college library. Miner had only 7,800 at the time of the survey. In his report Mr. Rockwell said: "The high point of interest in my brief tour of inspection was experienced at Miner Teachers' College. Common with most others, I had a pre-conceived notion of the inferiority of Negro education. To have one's established ideas violently upset, gives zest to any experience, and to come to the close of a day with admiration for the superior, where I had expected to approve merely the mediocre, was something in the nature of an educational adventure. As Dean Hunt remarks in his report of a year ago, 'To even such a casual visitor the experience was inspiring.' "For a period of six hours I met two score faculty members, and saw several hundreds students, and half a thousand more in the training Miss Hairston Pleads Not Guilty to Murder Charge Miss Annie Elizabeth Hairston, alleged common-law wife of Dr. Columbus Stultz, who was indicted on a first degree murder charge by the grand jury last week, pleaded not guilty to the charge when she was arraigned before Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court Monday morning. Dr. Stultz was found shot to death last February 9. Miss Hairston who claims she married the physician, in an alleged confession to police, admitted the crime and claimed that her life was in danger when she fired on the doctor. She stated to police that she had been repeatedly beaten by Dr. Stultz, and when she shot him he was reaching for another revolver. Office: 920 U St., N. W. He Was a Hit widely known as "Black Sam" who, as drum major of the band of Morning Star Lodge of Elks, attracted special attention in the inaugural parade and drew a salute from President Roosevelt. BLACK SAM, BIG INAUGURAL ATTRACTION Several Units in the Parade An outstanding feature of the inaugural parade Saturday was that of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks with its band and its colorful drum major, Samuel Smith (Black Sam). Black Sam has attracted the eyes of thousands of people all over this country. He is the big feature of the Elks' parade every August at their annual parade in the various cities over the country. The thousands who viewed the inaugural parade cheered Black Sam and his band. The big moment for Sam came when he paid his respects to President Roosevelt and the President saluted him in return. It was so impressive that the radio announcer near the President at the time placed special emphasis upon the incident. He stated that Black Sam was "stepping high, wide, and handsome." There were several Negro units in the parade. The first to appear was a troop of the Fenth Cavalry. One bystander said, "I did not know that there were colored men in combatant units." Yet he lived here in Washington. The next unit was that of the R. O.T.C. from Howard University, with the university band. This organization made a big hit with the crowd. It was cheered all along the line of march. There were Negroes in the Spanish war and the Civil war veteran units. The Washington school cadets with their band received quite a bit of enthusiasm. The Community 'Center Band, under the direction of T. H. Miller, came in for its share of appreciative applause. Colored people were mingled in the crowds standing on either side of Pennsylvania avenue, and in the stands from the Capitol to the White House. There was a fine spirit of comradeship pervading the crowd and apparently a fine feeling was evidenced along the line of march. Of the two hundred people on the casualty list about twenty were colored. Women fell from exhaustion, some were trampled upon, others suffered from heart attack in the pushing and crowding that occurred at certain places. The day was cloudy, damp, and raw. J STR Man Sever in Front of of Washing Man Severely Beaten in Front of the Office of Washington Tribune CONTRACT LET FOR VOCATIONAL SCHOOL New Boys' Trade School and Two Gymnasiums to Be Built The board of education was advised, Wednesday, that the award of the contract for the new Boys' Vocational School had been let to the Catalano Construction Company of Baltimore, for $265,221. Time for the school's completion was set for January 15, next. The new school will be located at Twenty-fourth Street and Benning Road, Northeast. The present building in the 1900 block of Vermont Avenue, Northwest, will be renovated and used as an elementary school. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent, announced The Rev. F. I. A. Bennett, board member, and chairman of the committee on buildings, grounds and equipment, stated to the board that his committee had recently inspected the addition to the Harrison School, and found the school one of the best equipped he had visited in his nine years as a member of the committee. He pointed out that showers had been provided for the engineer and other innovations made this building one of the best appointe' in the city. The Rr. Mr. Bennett, at the last meeting of the board severely criticized the old business high building which now houses the Cardozo High School, and the Grimke elementary school. At that time he said that the building was the worst he had inspected since he has been a board member. Construction of a combination gymnasium and assembly hall for the Douglass-Simmons School, near First and Pierce Streets, and for erection of a gymnasium for the Robert H. Terrell Junior High School on M Street between First and New Jersey Avenue, was provided in contracts awarded Saturday by the District Commissioners. The award fo rhe two jobs went to the McCormick-Lenham Co., of Philadelphia, which submitted a bid totaling $70,472. The contracts provided for completion of the projects by January 15, next year. The following transfers of teachers from Garrison to Harrison-Wilson were approved by the board; Miss H. G. Hairston, Miss H. L. Collier, Miss E. E. Brent, and Miss R. A. Thompson. Mrs. D. R. Moses, teacher at Mott School, was given a leave of absence effective February 28. Southern States Planning To Sue "Uncle Sam" For Large Sums (CNS)—In 1920 the State of Mississippi passed a law authorizing a suit by the State against the United States to recover "back taxes allegedly collected illegally" in the sum of $8,742,995. The money represents taxes collected by the Federal Government by a direct tax on cotton and some other articles in 1866, 1867 and 1868. Recently at a hearing before the Judiciary committee of the House of Representatives on the so-called Hare resolution, to permit that and other like suits, it was brought out that amounts of cotton taxes collected by other states which would be authorized to sue according to testimony to the committee, included Alabama, $10,388,072; Arkansas $2,555,638; Florida, $918,944; Louisiana, $9,048,147; Tennessee, $6,508,233. Representative Butler B. Hare of South Carolina, a ranking member of the war claims committee of the House is sponsor for the resolution which would give Southern states a right to sue for more than $30,000,000 on such claims. CAPITAL EDITION Hundreds See Police Kick Helpless Man Into No. 2 Station House CHARGED WITH BEING WITH COMMUNISTS Officers Learn Later that He Was a Clerk in the Treasury Department Major L. Jones, 1415 U Street, Northwest, was vindicated Thursday morning in police court when he was dismissed of a charge of disorderly conduct by a white policeman after being brutally beaten by the officer. Jones was attacked and beaten in front of the office of The Washington Tribune Monday, by Patrolman Jesse F. Hasty, of No. 10 Precinct, while he was walking down U Street on his way to Freedman's Hospital to receive hospital treatment. After being beaten the man was dragged into No. 2 Precinct Station Houses where he says he was kicked and again beaten with clubs. A charge of parading without a permit was lodged against him, but this was later changed to disorderly conduct when police learned that Jones had nothing to do with an alleged Communist parade downtown earlier in the day. Parade Was Down Town Several patrol loads of alleged Communists were brought to No. 2 Precinct Station House, 900 block of U Street, Northwest, after being arrested for parading downtown. Hundreds gathered in the vicinity to watch the men and women unloaded from the patrols. Most of the prisoners were badly bruised and beaten and several were soaked with blood. The entire scene was plainly visible from The Tribune window, and Jones had just left a barber shop next to The Tribune office, and was walking east towards Ninth Street when he was accosted by Officer (Continued on Page 3) COLOR BARS MANY PERSONS FROM PENNY CAFE Restaurant for Unemployed Refuses to Serve Colored People Several hundred unemployed and hungry persons were refused admittance to the "One Cent Restaurant" here early this week because they were colored. The cafe which opened Saturday at 1924 Pennsylvania avenue, for the unemployed, flatly refused colored patrons. A Third Precinct policewoman was stationed at the entrance to the restaurant and politely advised all colored people who attempted to enter the cafe that colored were not being served there. A Tribune reporter disguised as an unemployed laborer tried to secure a much-needed meal at the establishment and was told "we are not serving colored people here, but are planning to open a similar restaurant for colored at another place soon." Each colored person wwho applied for admittance was stopped by the policeman and told the same thing. GLASSFORD SUPERVISOR The restaurant is one of a chain of such cafes for the unemployed over the country. It is being run under the police of Bernair Macfadden to feed 15,000 unemployed persons at a cost of one cent a dish. The local establishment is under the supervision of Pelham D. Glassford, former police chief of the District. Efforts to reach Mr. Glassford yesterday were futile. GLOOMY PICTURE OF CONDITIONS WN THE ST MINNEAPOLIS, Minn—T.

Speaks at Birney Auditorium ‘On “Anti-Social Child” A series of lectures on adult edu. cation, sponsored by the Colleg Alumnae Association in behalf of the Federation of Parent-Teaches Associations of the Distriet of Co: lumbia, are featured in certain Jt nior High School centers and. in selected elementary schools in out lying districts. The initial lecture in the course was delivered recently by Assistant Superintendent Long on the sub: ject; “The Anti-Social Child.” In the Anacostia section the Bir- ney and the Garfield schools. was grouped as a lecture unit. A large ney and the Garfield schools were present on this occasion dn the Bir ney auditorium. ‘Mr. Long outlined the proper method of approaching the study of the unruly or anti-social child and urged that the problem of the anti-social child be handled not with the view of blaming the child, but of seeking to understand the child and its problems, He contrasted the old and the modern ideas regarding the causes ‘of the anti-social child’s behavior and emphasized the effect of home influences on the child. The speaker enumerated the more common impulses which mo- tivate the anti-social child, such as the desire for recognition, security, new experiefces, and love affairs, and summarized the usual means whereby students of ebild psychol- ogy seek to locate the source of the anti-social child’s trouble, After urging that the anti-social child be viewed objectively, with common sense understanding and fairmindedness, Mr. Long outlined various means of correcting the child’s behavior. These cortective measures in- cluded punishment, either corporal (which, he said, should he used on- ly as a last resort) or denying the child something he wants (always connecting the denial with the mis~ conduct in the child's mind), re- ward, or substitution behavior, ‘The meeting was in charge of Miss E. V, Smith, president of the Birney Parent-Teacher Association; Mrs, E. B. King, vice-president of the College Alumnae Association; and John E. Syphax, principal of Birney School. In addition special guests were Miss Edith Lyons, principal. of the Morgan School: Miss Effie Simmons, principal, of the Garfield School; and W. P.

The excuse for the murder was an unfounded charge of rape on Ruby Morris, practicing prostitute, who did not even go through the formality of fdentifying Carlock as her “assall ant,” an investigation by the In- ternational Labor Defense revealtd: At a secretly held “investiga- tion” the policemen were exoner- ated. The workers of both races in Memphis are aroused to deep. in- dignation ‘over this murder, which is only a dramatic climax to. an unbyidled reign of terror against the Negro workers of Memphis. ‘The I.L.D. investigation shows that Ruby Morris claimed she was “attacked” early Friday morning, She admitted that it was dark, ant she did not see her “assailant.” But she said Carlock’s voice was like his. On this flimsy basis, six Memphis policemen accosted Carlock at 3 o'clock Saturday morning while he was waiting to escort his. wife home from the place where she works as a maid. They took him into an alley, beat and tortured him, then shot him. They an- nounced that he had “tried to es- cape.” Witnesses have come forward and protested that Carlock was at home at the time of the supposed “attack” and that they saw him there. i The JL... has taken steps here to organize broad _neighhorhood committees, and has issued leaflets calling for the widest organized protest, raising the demand for the removal, arrest, open trial and death penalty for the six police- men involved, and for an end to the reign of terror against, Negroes. The demand is also being raised for payment of indemnity to Mrs. Carlock.

Similar conferences were held some weeks ago at St. Louis, Mo., and Columbus, Ohio. The Washington conference was opened by A. T. Bentley, vice-president and agency officer of the company, who in turn presented William Stevenson, district manager, who delivered a short address of welcome on the part of the Washington office. This was followed by addresses of welcome by Messrs. T. K. Gibson, chairman of the board of directors; G. H. Bowen, state manager of New Jersey; J. Nelson Fortune, state manager of Maryland. During the all day session the following subjects were presented: (1) Agency Man Power; (2) Clerical Efficiency; (3) Claims and Their Adjustment; (4) Loan and Surrender Perils; (4) Branch Office Efficiency; (5) Meeting the Depression; (6) Increasing Remittances; (8) The New Industrial Program; (9) The New Ordinary Program. It was brought out that the company, during the year 1932, enjoyed its most profitable year.

During the year 1932, the company paid its first endowments, four in number, which amounted to $4,560. A grand total of $511,014.17 was paid to policyholders and beneficiaries.

Paxton, spokesman for the delegation, denounced the anti-working class, anti-Negro schemes and red tape of the Red Cross and the Reconstruction Finance Corp. The governor then tried to shunt the delegation to the state assembly. Paxton denounced this as a maneuver to get rid of the delegation without doing anything for the starving ureployed workers and croppers and the impoverished small farmers. The delegation then visited the state assembly, and saw the speaker of the house, Representative Tunstall, who admitted "we are all in a devil of a fix", but gave the delegation no promise of relief merely agreeing to place demands before the legislative committees. FORMER HOWARD LIBRARIAN A. SUICIDE Miss Ann E. Gray, Student at Atlanta University, Drinks Lysol Miss Ann Elizabeth Gray, of Providence, R.I., a student at the Atlanta University School of Social Work, and a former assistant librarian at Howard University, committed suicide here by drinking lysol. Miss Gray called Mrs. Alva Allen about 10 o'clock Sunday night and told her she had taken of the poison. First aid was immediately administered, after which Miss Gray was rushed to the Douglass Infirmary, where she died at 1:10 a.m. The suicide left a note to her mother in which she stated, "I am tired of living." The contents of other notes left were withheld from publication. Friends of Miss Gray attribute her action to financial difficulties. MAN SEVERELY BEATEN (Continued from page 1) Hasty in front of The Tribune building. The officer, who appeared to be excited, yelled to Jones to go in an opposite direction, and before the man could turn the policeman began to rain blows on his head with his baton. Beaten in Station House Apparently losing control of himself, the officer beat the man to the pavement, and when he succeeded in regaining his feet and started across the street, the officer followed and began kicking and beating the man until he fell again to the street. Then he was half dragged and kicked to the station house. Inside, Jones testified that he was again beaten and kicked by Hasty, who seemed to have lost all reason. Several witnesses testified that they saw the attack and denied that Jones attempted to resist or even speak to the officer. Inside the station house he was charged with parading without a permit. Later, when it was found that he was a clerk in the Treasury Department and did not even know there was a parade downtown, the charge was changed. Major Brown Called When a Tribune reporter saw the attack on Jones by Hasty, the office of Major Brown, superintendent of police, was called, and told of the unwarranted assault by the officer. Major Brown sent Inspector Headley to The Tribune Office. He informed members of the staff that, if charges were duly preferred they would be investigated. Jones was represented at the police court trial by Attorney Perry W. Howard, who stated after the trial that he plans to have Hasty and another officer who was involved with him brought before the Police Trial Board and a damage suit filed against them. Run Amuck While Hasty was attacking Jones other officers rushed about the street yelling at people and hitting right and left with their batons. Several school boys who attend Phelps Vocational School near the station house, were struck at and driven from an alley leading to the school. The policemen seemed to be running amuck and did not even spare women who were passing. Several women were struck at during the rampage by the policemen. Jones was taken to Freedmen's Hospital after the attack where he was treated for bruises of the head and body. After being brought back to the station house Jones was released under $65 bond.

ELDER MICHAUX AT AUDITORIUM (Continued from page 1) the same as the inscription that was on the crucifix, a quartet from the elder's Baltimore church sang, "I Want My Life to Tell For Jesus." Wild excitement prevailed when a quartet sang "What Are They Doing in Heaven Today?" Hundreds of people shouted, jumped up and down, waved their handkerchiefs and clapped their hands. Other selections were sung by the Church of God quartet of Washington, and by the street singers who sang "Dry Bones" and "That New Jerusalem." The street singers are four boys from seven to fourteen years old. Because of the confusion that arose by advertisements claiming that the meeting was to be a political one, Elder Michaux explained that those in attendance were witnessing a regular Sunday night service of his church members. He further asserted the service was held in the auditorium to accommodate the large number of visitors here for the inauguration who had written to him that they wanted to attend one of his broadcasts. He said that he will engage the baseball park for one of his future broadcasts. The Rev. Mr. Michaux preached one of his popular sermons in which he explained the "Family Life." He drew on the affection of himself and wife as an example of how to secure happiness. Crowd Came Early The crowd began to gather at the Auditorium as early as four o'clock. By 7:30 the two floors were full. Very few people left the service until after the elder had finished his sermon. About one-third of the audience was white people. Some of them were diplomats, some were regular followers of the church, and others came from the rural districts of Maryland and Virginia. Proceeds for Evicted Families The proceeds from the affair were to be used to house evicted families regardless of race. Elder Michaux is well known because of his radio sermons that are broadcast every morning at 7 o'clock, and on Sunday at 8 a.m. and 5:30 o'clock every Sunday evening. He broadcasts over Station WJSV. Robinson Loses Case Against Whitelaw Hotel The Whitelaw Hotel Corporation, with Benjamin L. Gaskins as its attorney, won its suit against R. W. Robinson, who claimed to have purchased the hotel property at an auction sale, November 13, 1929. The hotel corporation sued Mr. Robinson for the transfer of title to it. Through its attorney the corporation claimed Mr. Robinson used its money in the purchase of the property and produced papers in evidence to sustain its claim. The case was settled Tuesday. Francis, Garnet, McCoy Among Diplomats Honored on Tablet Memorial Tablet in State Department Bears Names of United States Representatives Who Died in Active Service in Foreign Lands William Thomas Francis, Henry Highland Garnet and William D. McCoy, are three deceased Negro foreign service officers whose names appear on the American Foreign Service Memorial Tablet which was unveiled by the Secretary of State on last Friday in the State Department building. pointed from North Carolina as minister resident and consul general to Liberia, October 25, 1915, and who died at his post on October 24, from acuta peritonitis, and who was one of the few Negroes whose body was brought back here on a warship, was one of whom the secretary may have been speaking. William Thomas Francis was The tablet, which consists of a base and framework of white Alabama marble, surrounding a large panel of Virginia greenstone on which are carved by hand, and gilded with gold leaf, the names of sixty-five officers, from the long list of those who have died in active service in foreign lands, died in catastrophes, or were lost at sea, or died from tropical diseases such as plague, yellow fever, and the like, has been erected as a memorial to the memory of the aforementioned American diplomatic and consular officers by members of the American Foreign Service Association. Secretary Stimson said among other things: "Of course, there have been many, many others who have died in the performance of their duties in distant lands under circumstances of loneliness, far from kindred and home, and possibly some under circumstances of equal tragedy, but the fact of whose deaths have not survived the thickening veil of time. We must think of them also when we see the names that are here recorded." Name of Curtis Omitted James L. Curtis, a brother of local physician, who was ap- Federal News Items By Laurence J. W. Hayes By Laurence J. W. Hayes Augustus, Lee, a Department of State employee, scoffs at religion. Among other things he says: "Only superstitious people believe in religion." The writer passes on to you a notice taken from last Monday's Herald: "Over 165,000 government positions outside Civil Service regulations are now open in this country. Congress authorized a limited number of lists published by the government Printing Office, but the number was quickly exhausted and no more can be obtained in spite of tremendous demands. "We (the Ambassador Laundry—call Adams 4934) are offering these while our supply lasts at approximately the same price as was charged by the Government Printing Office for the same book-namely, 45 cents per copy." Government employees welcome the news that a campaign to carry directly to the public "the true facts concerning the lot of the Government employee" was formally launched last week by the American Federation of Government Employees. The first stem in their nation-wide program was the announcement by E. Claude Babcook, chairman of the national education committee of the organization, of the appointment of 17 sub-committees with a membership of 94 representing most of the departments and bureaus. This group is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor and one Lodge No. 20—is headed by a member of our group, John W. Charleston. The purposes of the campaign, as announced by Babcock, will be given in the next issue. * * * * Speaking of the American Federation of Labor reminds me that I, as publicity director of Local No. 71 of the National Federation of Federal Employees, owe to my readers and my organization an explanation as to why the National Federation of Federal Employees severed its connection with the American Federation of Labor. That explanation will be forthcoming in next week's issue. Warren McBeth, who unhesitatingly admits being the "chief messenger of State," was the only one of that unit's two score or more of messengers to meet the new secretary, Cordell Hull, last Monday afternoon. It seems that the word had mysteriously gotten around that the secretary was to meet the messengers AFTER meeting the other employees. The writer was unable to find any official authentication of this rumor, however. McBeth, who has been for more than twenty-five years the messengers' outstanding spokesman in the State Department, and whose policies and leadership has had the confidence of the various chief clerks is not universally popular with all of the messengers. Leaders of the liberal and younger group contend that his policies are hold-overs of the now passe. The writer believes, however, that Mac, like Booker Washington, is misunderstood, and after he will have passed on some of his co-workers will understand him better. As the writer predicted some pointed from North Carolina as minister resident and consul general to Liberia, October 25, 1915, and who died at his post on October 24, from acute peritonitis, and who was one of the few Negroes whose body was brought back here on a warship, was one of whom the secretary may have been speaking. William Thomas Francis was appointed to Liberia from Minnesota, July 9, 1927, arrived at his post November 21, 1927, was sicken with yellow fever on June 21, 1929; died in Monrovia on July 15, 1929. Henry Highland Garnet (for whom the Garnet-Patterson School is named), was appointed consul general and minister resident to Liberia from New York, June 30, 1881. He died at his post April 8, 1882, of African fever. Although Francis was born in Nashville, Tenn., he lived in St. Paul, Minnesota, from the time he was 10 years of age and was appointed from there. His remains, however, were intered at Nashville, although Mrs. Francis, who is now connected with the Girls' Vocational School at Bosley Road in Nashville, states that his friends in Minnesota felt that he belonged to that state and "should sleep in Minnesota soil." William D. McCoy, of Indiana, was appointed minister resident and consul general to Liberia, January 11, 1892. He died at his post in Monrovia, May 16, 1893 from African fever. In addition to being appointed minister resident and consul general to Liberia, Francis was, during the incumbency of President King of Liberia, appointed envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary. three weeks or more ago, President Roosevelt will accept the resignations of Commissioners (Civil Service) Thomas E. Campbell and Miss Jesse Dell, but will continue Commissioner George Wales in office for a year or more to orientate the other two new incoming commissioners. William E. Tate, former national commander of the Disabled American Veterans, backed by Senator George, of Georgia, is to date the outstanding aspirant for the position of chairman of the Civil Service Commission. The writer knows little about Mr. Tate, but feels that the fact that he is being backed solidly by Southern Congressmen augurs no good for our group. * * * * This department joins in with the editor of the Federal News in saying: "Colored employees of the Federal Government extend a hand of welcome to the new national executives. "They pledge to them the same unswerving loyalty and devotion to duty they always have rendered, in season and out. "Every Federal employee on the permanent staff, regardless of rank or station, will place his shoulder to the wheel side by side with the executive group in the great task which lies ahead. That assurance may be given without quibble, question, or qualification." * * * * The ex-president of the National Federation of Federal Employees, Mrs. I. A. Letcher, explains the methods of this organization. She says: "Its methods for attaining its objects are petitions to Congress, the creation and fostering of public sentiment favorable to proposed reforms, co-operation with government officials and employees, legislation, and other lawful means." **** Send your news, or questions in regard to the duties or privileges of Federal Employees to the writer at 1921 Eighth Street, Northwest, Washington, D.C.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, MARCH 19, 1933 Another Joshua—Maybe Unquestionably Mr. Roosevelt's inaugural address was vigorous and a well-analyzed statement of our present economic situation. However, such vigorous utterances bristling with menacing threats are not a new departure in Presidential pronouncements. They differ only in phraseology from the verbal thunder bolts of his cousin of the same name. Admittedly some good came of Teddy's fulminations—temporarily, at least. But within the twenty years since they were uttered the "malefactors of wealth" have secured a tighter grip on the nation's resources and means of production and exchange than the utterer of "my policies" could have dreamed. With no hint of fundamental change in the economic-industrial system now prevailing in this country and over the most of the world, the new President's dictum that "there must be an end to a conduct in banking and business which too often has given to a sacred trust the likeness of callous and selfish wrong-doing," and more explicit, still, "there must be an end to speculation with other people's money," sounds much like brer rabbit's threats to the tar baby. However, if Mr. Roosevelt thinks he can make the money kings loosen their "holt" even a little bit, all of us will gladly take up our trumpets or our magaphones if he will indicate when and how we shall vociferate. Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho by blowing rams' horns; maybe those tactics may yet be effective if the blasts be loud and alarming enough.

She's All Right The letter from "A Reader" in another column concerning Miss Bertha McNeill, a teacher in the Dunbar High School, fully meets the approval of The Tribute. When the rumor of Miss McNeill's possible demotion reached this office, it aroused not only interest but concern. Members of our staff who know of the zeal, efficiency and devotion of this teacher were quite convinced that if she had refused to certify that certain pupils had properly and fully accomplished the work laid down, that she was merely doing her duty by the public which pays her and by the parents and pupils themselves. To some of us who got our schooling in the days before the present reign of fads, futilities and "activities" so-called, it is no surprise to observe the shocking deficiency in the fundamentals—the three R's, if you please—of the present-day high school pupil. Each addition to the attenuated curriculum and each new activity, club, team, chapter, and what not may be a good thing in itself, but unless by some magic or supernatural power the intellectual and physical abilities and capacities of the pupils can be and are expanded in proportion, superficiality and deficiency are bound to result "somewhere along the line," as our correspondent says.

Miss McNeill is unfortunate in being assigned to teach English; for, in these days of shunting around grammar, and short-cutting to "self-expression" by so-called "language lessons," and flitting through books of "our mother tongue," and other labor saving devices, by the time the pupil has reachtd the high school the task of the conscientious teacher is almost hopeless. Woe, then, betide the teacher who bravely attempts to break down bad habits, who insists on some approximation to correctness and completeness in diction, grammar, spelling and punctuation, all of which, except the first perhaps, are supposed to be "completed" in the elementary or junior high schools. Miss McNeill has our sympathy as well as our admiration. We Fought a Good Fight The Tribune has received several communications endorsing our stand in the recent unbeavals here involving the matter of segregation. Practically all of the letters cover the same ground—and reiterate the points and reasons already published justifying our stand. For that reason and because of their number and length we do not feel able to devote the space needed to publish them. One friend—our former friend, at least—sends a vehement criticism based seemingly on the fact that we (The Tribune) have not eradicated segregation in the departments nor secured a united front of "the many, varied lodges, orders, clubs, societies and associations...in combating...oppression." A pretty big order, yet, curiously enough, he says that our attack on the recent segregated showing of "The Green Pastures" displayed our "narrowness and selfishness." If it was "narrow and selfish" to attack this most fragrant instance of self-jimcrowning what in heaven's name would justify an attack? And if we had not attacked it, what would our race-level friend have thought of us? The Tribune would have felt gratified if Mr. Harrison could have had the spunk of the late Bert Williams. He, we are told, refused to perform before lily-white audiences, and on one occasion he kept his contract by appearing, but did nothing but bow. However, we realize that times have changed—and for the worse—on both sides of the color line and hence our indignation was not directed primarily at Mr. Harrison and his cast, nor indeed at the National Theatre, but at those who promoted and attended the race-stultifying separate performance. In the minds of some persons, our denunciation of that needless procedure might be regarded as narrowness; if so, we glory in it. But our action could hardly be regarded as selfish since we were offered pay to promote it, and refused it. We believe this gentleman is sincere—although he accuses us of insincerity—but it ems strange in the face of recent publica- However, we realize that times have changed—and for the worse—on both sides of the color line and hence our indignation was not directed primarily at Mr. Harrison and his cast, nor indeed at the National Theatre, but at those who promoted and attended the race-stultifying separate performance.

But our action could hardly be regarded as selfish since we were offered pay to promote it, and refused it. We believe this gentleman is sincere—although he accuses us of insincerity—but it ems strange in the face of recent publica tions in The Tribune that he could write thus: "You are opposed to segregation, yet no concerted action is exerted in opposition to the various enterprises which offer no employment to the race..." It is all too true that neither The Tribune nor other agencies which are fighting for the race have been able to secure "concerted" action against the matters of which he complains, nor does it seem likely that unanimity will be attained soon. But, notwithstanding that the "separate" performance went on despite our opposition, and there was a "special" inaugural ball, we are encouraged by the recent showing of a greater race loyalty than ever before shown here by those to whom we look for example and guidance. Perhaps before the next inauguration, the most of the Uncle Toms and their bandana-headed companions will have taken a "special" to "The Green Pastures." America's Soul President Roosevelt's first 48 hours in the White House should have brought home to him the realization of the part the Negro is playing in this country today. He is an integral part of community life and must be recognized as such. He is a worthy citizen, and in many ways he may prove the salvation of our modern American civilization. This will hope Mr. Roosevelt will realize, if he has not already done so. Arriving in Washington, a city whose population is nearly one-fourth Negro, Mr. Roosevelt has had ample opportunity of observing Negro life. During the inaugural parade, the President was thrilled by the strutting band leader of the Morning Star Lodge of Elks, the sawing of the music played by Negro band, except through his veins. There was something that was truly American—if anything ever was. The soul of the Negro is the soul of America. If Mr. Roosevelt had time for relaxation on Sunday evening, away from the heavy burden of these troubulous times, he may have heard of the radio what might properly be considered true American opera. He could have heard of "John Henry"—the plaintive melodies, the plain talk of simple folks from the river beds and the back waters. If Mr. Roosevelt could hear this Negro music, he would thrill to the art of the American Negro. He would find in these melodies the spring from the very soil along the black waters, the soul of real America. Our Mail The Tribune will be glad to publish from time to time brief letters from our readers giving their views on current topics, whether they agree with our own policies or not. In general, these letters should not exceed two hundred words. Long, argumentative letters, lecturing us on admonishing people in general, especially the articles are of a sermonizing character, should be sent to magazines which devote the space to such matters. If an unsolicited article or lecture or seremon is longer than one letter page, it is likely that we can find room for it. Recent occurrences here have brought the blood of letters—many designed presumably for publication. The most of them are unusually long, yet it would in many cases no doubt be regarded as presumption or garrisoning were we to attempt to "boil them down or publish extracts—even if we had time for such work. While on this subject another phase of the matter may be mentioned. Few people realize that writing for publication—if properly and acceptably done—is especially. Even a Ph.D. is not likely to meet the requirements without special instruction and training. There are certain rules concerning correct and plainly indicated punctuation, limited capitalization, paragraphing, abbreviating (less than a dozen definitely designated abbreviations are permitted), open spacing (in long hand, writing on alternate lines), ample margins and other matters that if not attended by a competent copy-editor and the whole-written. Such regular writers and columnists as Professor Miller and Dr. Woodson have mastered these rules, or the most of them at least, and the same is true of the better class of committers. This makes their matter available and desirable, independent of its other value. But the preparation and copying of the work of writers who do not know or do not conform to the proper technique, is too costly for the average newspaper which sells for a few cents. Some exceptions are made for current news and for columnists and feature writers of special merit in particular fields, and for the view and opinions of persons to whom it is supposed the public is looking for advice and guidance. Georgia chain gangs must be getting pretty full, or it may be that the fugitive named in news article in the Alexandria (Va.)

The Departments Headed by Southerners Are Concerned With Matters Having Little or No Racial Import. The new Roosevelt cabinet is noted for the absence of stars of the first order of magnitude. The new President had at his disposal unparalleled wealth of cabinet material. Alfred Smith, Owen D. Young, Carter Glass, Newton D. Baker, Senator Norris, Governor Ritchie, with other famous Democrats of renown would have constituted a galaxy of greatness unsurpassed in our cabinet history. But instead, the President-elect chose to select ten high-minded, competent advisors, with scarcely a name of the first class order of distinction and brilliance. He evidently had in mind the ability and disposition of his official family to work i: unison rather than indulge in personal, prima donna display. OUTSTANDING MEN DO NOT BEACH THE PRESIDENCY Since the choice of our early executives has been extremely difficult for a public of outstanding distinction and achievement to succeed to the White House. Men of mne nearly average or ordinary quality and can have been preferred. Abraham Lincoln, Great Cleveland, Theodore Roosevelt and Wood Wilson achieved greatness while occupying the White House, which in no case was vealed before their elevation. Clay, Webster, Calhoun, Roscoe Conklin James G. Blaine, William Jennings Bryan, Alfred E. Smith, the shining stars in the axy of great names, sought in vain to re the king row. It is also true that the most brilliant stammen do not always make the best cabinet terial. They are not always prone to subnate their individual powers to the guide and direction of the chief executive nor to pall in harmony with team requirements. In our recent history we readily recall James G. Blaine broke with Benjamin Hason, and William J. Bryan with Woodrow Wilson. It is generally believed that Alfred Sr. deems himself too great and important a public factor to subordinate himself as a cab advisor.

NEW CABINET NOT WORLD BEATERS When we begin to analyze the present context, we find that though not composed world beaters, they in every instance pose the requisite experience, ability and patriotism to function efficiently at this critical period the nation's life. Who can tell but that so of them will grow into greatness as they must the unfolding responsibilities and opportunities of the trusts which they have assume. No one has yet dared even suggest that a nation is not safe in their keeping. Let us now take a closer look at the cabinet from the standpoint of the Negro his relation to the public weal. The Negro question no longer constitutes a politicalator in the mind of either party. All that citizen wants with or from the Negro is his vote election time. The public mind is bored with our constant howl for rights and recognition. Economic and international issues absurd the nation's attention. So long as the woman's political rights are secure the Negro may keep howling or go hang. Only an occasional glance may be cast in his direction quiet his howling and abate the perpetual nuisance.

NEGRO PROBABLY NOT THOUGHT OF WHEN SELECTING CARIBNET In making out his cabinet Mr. Roosey probably did not have the Negro question the remotest part of his mind. He had study the balance between interests, sectic and factions which supported him and which constitute the complicated equation of American life. It is noticeable, however, that a new cabinet in no sense affects our char detrimentally. We stand as good chance advancement as under its Republican processor. There are seven Northern and three Southern members of the cabinet. Of the Northern members it is not necessary to speak. They not derive their racial attitude from their litalic affiliation. The Southern contingent supposed to give us some concern. The portfolios of the Southern members have very little to do with matters which immediately concern our group. The State, N. and Commerce Departments (Hull, Swan and Roper, respectively) are chiefly concern with matters which have little or no ra import.

Although Mr. Roper is a Carolinian, yet his long residence in Washington has made him well known and liked by the colored people. He has served on the board of education with colored members, and has become so favorably regarded by the race that he was chosen as receiver of the National Benefit Insurance Company. The Secretary of the Interior (Ickes) is a liberal Independent from Illinois, and is presumably fairly disposed to all elements of the people. This office is of especial interest to the colored race because Howard University and all federal educational projects fall under its direction. The basic principle of the new Postmaster General (Farley, of New York) is to adequately reward party support without regard to race or color. Taken all in all, the new cabinet promises well for the country at large and gives the colored contingent no anxious concern. Our Mail The Tribune welcomes letters of comment or criticism, but to receive consideration they should not exceed 200 words. We haven't the time to boil down long, argumentative communications. Write on one side of the paper. Letters must be signed and address given, though not necessarily for publication.—Editor. This writer comes to the defense of Miss Bertha McNeill and other teachers who are zealous in upholding proper standards. To the Editor: A newspaper story told Washington recently of a rumor that because of the large number of pupils failed by her, Miss Bertha McNeill, a teacher of English in the Dunbar High School, had been demoted. The rumor was incorrect and was very unfair to her. Wrathful parents were responsible for the tirade against this teacher. "Something had to be wrong," they said, since so many pupils had failed. But it does not necessarily follow that a teacher is inefficient because many pupils fail. Some teachers have ideals of their profession to uphold. They require a certain minimum of work before sending the pupil on to higher grades. In other words, they want to know that what they tell the world about the pupil is true. Miss McNeill is entitled to every consideration before she is censured in any way. She has dared to do her duty in the face of an assured uproar. If pupils were failed by Miss McNeill, it was almost assuredly because they could not meet the minimum essentials prescribed for successfully completing the course. If pupils were not entitled to pass the course, they did not learn enough somewhere along the line. Until someone can show that Miss McNeill, is not doing her job as a teacher, no one has the right to criticize her. It may be that she is doing her job well while others are taking the easy way out. The question for parents to decide is: "Shall the children get an education—or simply passing marks?" A Reader. WEEK-END MOSAICS By Albernon B. Jackson, M.D. THOSE WHO DESTROY A few days ago I took the deacon for a ride; not in the Chicago-accepted sense of the word, but on a pleasure trip just to be with him and hear him talk. Christmas was past; the New Year was upon us, and the deacon was in a reflective mood. He was of the opinion that Christmas had just about eliminated Christ, except that He was being used as an excuse for perpetuating a holiday given over to frivolity, graft, gifts, over-eating, over-drinking, and under-thinking. I cannot suppress the deacon, so I let him have full rope. We came upon a building operation which attracted him quite a bit. He called my attention to the fact that the Negro workmen were engaged in the task of tearing down and breaking up things, while the whites were welding the steel and cementing brick and stone together. "There's the picture of the whole thing," declared he. "We are at home when it comes to tearing down, but we just don't get the knack of building up," he said. That day he was full of himself and was determined to give vent to his feelings. He went on: "I know folks who are supposed to have education but even that don't stop them from getting great joy out of tearing down and destroying. When I have asked some of them why they keep on tearing down and breaking up, they tell me that they have to tear down in order to build up. I have around waiting to see when these same folks were going to start building up, but I am still standing and waiting and they are still destroying." He gave a deep sigh and continued: "When Negroes begin destroying they never know when to stop or where to stop. They destroy reputations, institutions and whatever comes their way. Some day I hope we will learn better and want to build. The truth is we haven't suffered enough yet. As a rule, a Negro don't really begin to think until he has suffered." So saith the deacon, friend of mine, friend of man and friend of God. Thoughtful Lines Life isn't always so generous as to allow us to continue to override it—Life sooner or later demands a reckoning. * * * No pleasure can surpass that which comes from the consciousness of feeling one's horizon of ignorance being pushed farther and farther away, making headway, getting on as well as getting up in the world. By F. H. M. Murray COMMUNISM IN OUR SCHOOLS There have been some sarcastic references to the Rev. F. I. A. Bennett's alarmed cry of "communism," at the meeting of the board of education when permission was asked to allow the use of the school cooking ranges and other facilities to prepare and serve hot lunches to the children. The fact is, the Rev. Mr. Bennett was wiser and more far-seeing than his critics; for, if such unsolicited, unostentatious, unrecorded helping is not communism, it is at least communistic—as is much else that is going on around us; yet we have taken only a few steps along the road we are travelling and must inevitably travel if civilization is to be preserved and advanced. The future must give us one of three things: (1) a return to despotism, (2) complete anarchy, or (3) communism, modified maybe, but yet conforming to its basic principle: From everyone according to his ability; to everyone according to his need. While the funds for this relief service are at present derived from private sources, and the work of preparing and serving is voluntary, the time is near at hand when these will be provided for as a public need, just as now are the public schools — including buildings, grounds, personnel, books, and supplies. Those who believe in "rugged individualism," no doubt view with alarm or repugnance such civic functioning, and they rightly cry "communism." LAPSUS MEMORIAE By one of those curious and unaccountable lapses—of which even the erudite are sometimes the victims, let alone such as I—my memory slipped a cog last week and I referred to the head of the "special entertainment" inaugural sub-committee as G. D. Woodson instead of G. D. Houston. However, I guess the readers (if any) were able to identify the person meant—good fellow, smart fellow, well-meaning fellow, but evidently easily cailed. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER "THE BROWN MAIDEN" Of "The Brown Maiden" by Felicidad V. Ocampo (The Meador Publishing Co., Boston, Mass.) Clifford C. Mitchell says: "In this book we are confronted with prejudices of various kinds—religious, caste, difference in nationality, and the usual race prejudice, but from a different angle and setting. "Carmen Gonzales is the charming daughter of a wealthy and influential Filipino; reared under the most exacting restrictions of fond parents, religious bigotry, and the foolish pride of the caste system. "Surreptitiously she meets and falls in love with a young white American Army captain, stationed in the Philippines. Contrary to the usual customs, they elope to Hong Kong and marry. Subsequently Captain Holan brings his bride to America and though he keeps her in isolation they appear somewhat contented and happy. "Shortly before their child is born the captain takes Carmen to the home of his mother in Virginia while he hastens back to his army post in California. Although Carmen with her brown skin, does reputable, refined, and loving, not fare very well in Virginia, and being unable to under the continual prejudicial rebuffs she runs away to Washington, where her child is born. Eventually 'she is helped by a kind, tolerant and loving American couple. "From this point of the story the text assumes the character of a sociological treatise in which the brown maiden is but the delineator." "SHIPS AND LOVERS" "Ships and Lovers," the first book of poems by Thomas Caldecott Chubb in many years is a collection of forty-seven pieces, lyrical, dramatic, and narrative which will be issued by A. & C. Boni, (New York) March 17. Chubb's poems are inspired by his various experiences. "Along the Decks" speaks of London River; "At the Narrows" of his days on the New York waterfront; "For a Tuscan Summer" of Italy. Besides this he has reconstructed the past in such poems is "Two in Sight of Florence" and Malmaison." The book will sell for $1.75. Life, too, has its many abuses, and is often dragged down into the depths of dire stagnation—the result, quite often, is death! SPECIAL FEATURES No Trespassing By Beatrice M. Murphy I came by a beautiful church today. It was a stately, imposing edifice with spreading green lawns flanking three sides of it. I said to myself, "What a lovely place for the children to play in summer." I called to mind a pretty little village church in a small town I had visited, on whose lawns the minister joined with the young people in sponsoring sports—baseball, games. Then I saw the dreadful signs: "No tresspassing." I asked myself—and you—this question: "Isn't the failure of the church today to attract more people—especially young people—due to too many "No Trespassing" signs? I wonder whether Christ would approve of those signs? I wonder whether His first consideration would have been of the building and the lawns or the people who would make that building hallowed by their worship and prayers, and the children who would make it happy with their laughter? Would He have approved of the "No Trespassing" signs that are cramping not only the life of the children, but of the Church as well? For we find these signs on other places than the lawn of the church. You join church because you want to give open expression to your beliefs. You want to work. There’s only one hitch: you can’t contribute regularly because you haven’t anything to contribute. And you find “No Trespassing” signs erected in front of you. Sure, you’re a member. But your name isn’t even included on the rolls unless you are a “financial” member. You feel ostracized—shut out. Your faith is just as strong as before; but somehow within the church walls there seems to be no way of expressing it. Of course a church has to be supported. You understand that part, all right. But you do wonder whether Christ would have “cold shouldered” any one out of His church because he wasn’t financially able to meet his obligations. Or again, you spend a weary, distracted week. Everything has gone wrong. There has been disappointment, grief, and work that has completely exhausted your faculties. You long for a moment of quiet, peace, communion with the Almighty, and it is only natural that your footsteps should turn churchward, with the desire to sit down in that holy atmosphere and imbibe its calm and peace. To find that which you have lost. What happens? The door is shut—locked. It's not Sunday. Don't you know you mustn't trespass? Keep your religion for Sundays and special occasions. Now if you need some spiritual inspiration during the week, that's just too bad. Sunday morning you sit and listen to the minister preach. Brilliant man—keen thinker. Yet today, as never before, you find that the minister, like you, is groping for the answers to fundamental questions. He goes so far and then stops, either because he doesn't know, or is not quite sure; so he somehow fails to give you the help for which you are seeking. The music of the choir is inspirational and beautiful. But you want to be made to feel a part of that service—you want to feel that you're giving something to the Master. You don't know anyone in the church, and you're shy. You don't seek anyone out, and no one seeks you out. But in your heart the urge to serve still heats. There's no Jesus Christ to say "Come down, Zacchaeus." You're just an unimportant spoke in a great wheel. You feel alone—shut out. You know God is there, but you can't find Him. The "no trespassing" signs intimidate you, and you draw within yourself—finally cease going altogether—lose all your belief in God and His gospel of love and brotherliness. You didn't find it within His church. Where, then, is it? You become bitter—cynical—an atheist; not because you don't still believe in the goodness and love and mercy of God, but because you're baffled, bewildered and hurt, and you don't want the world to know that you're hurt. Ten chances to one, you won't even be missed, unless the minister happens to meet you on the street, and asks why you don't come to church. Of course you don't answer "Too many 'No Trespassing' signs," but that's the reason. And I wonder what Jesus Christ, were He here, would have to say about it all—don't you? TO ELAINE The blushing day, it slips away, Celestial night is here; The golden sun with distant rays Lies 'tond the mountain tier. The soft sweet earth is calling thee; It calls you there by name; O meet me by the linden tree— Yes, all alone, Elaine. RAMA GIBSON. PART V. THE CHURCH. The Church is the balance-wheel of civilization. Around it revolve the many agencies and industries of the community. With it the community is rounded out into a safe, human place to live. Without it the community becomes a cold, self-seeking mechanism. The Church has played a big part in the history of modern civilization. During the middle ages the Church formed a bulwark for organized society. Classical civilization had fallen before the onslaughts of the German invaders. Western Europe was under the control of feudal nobles. The sole urifying factor, preserving still the civilization of the ages, was the Church. Down through the ages has come the Church. Its true teachings have led nations to greatness. It has guided men along the paths of wisdom. Today, it furnishes the moral yardstick which measures the lives of the citizens of the community. Church Leadership Playing such a great part in the life of the community the Church must be guided by able hands. The teachings of the Church must truly interpret Christian doctrine. The Church must assume leadership in teaching correct living. The subject-matter taught by the Church is an inheritance from the ages. The moral code of the Hebrews was a pillar of ancient civilization when Egypt and Babylonia were great. The teachings of Jesus Christ added brotherly love—the most necessary ingredient of peaceful community life. The subject-matter taught by the Church is rich and beautiful. Church Leaders Church leaders must be of the highest type. They must be intelligent, open-minded, and must be dedicated to service to humanity. To work most efficiently, Church leaders must know the needs of modern community life, and must know how to administer to these needs. In times past, Negro Church leaders were usually of the type who could sway the emotions of the people. They taught simple faith and belief—a religion of inaction and acceptance. They dispensed religious dogma with a definiteness of one promulgating it. In such ways they concealed this own ignorance and personal limitations. True Teaching The time has come for true teachings in the Negro Church. The Church leaders must search Christian teachings for true meanings. To be sure, no one will be able to fully interpret all of the teachings of Christian morality; but search for knowledge in the words of Christ will lead humanity safely along the "way of life" The believers of the future will be those who search for better ways of living. They will not hold out puritanical views for others to accept. They will understand only that they, like others, are searching for "the truth." The Bible holds up to the Negro some fine examples of Christian living. There are men who stand by principle even unto death. There are men of action, Such men as Paul and Stephen illustrate the true character of the "early Christians." The Negro has much to learn from the true teachings of the Bible. He must get a "religion of action" that is founded upon "faith with works." He must find out what he should do; then he should do it, whatever the consequences. The armor of righteousness, is in reality, a better understanding of the teachings of Christ; while faith is the conviction of right that will make the true believer lay down his life for his cause.

Mitchell DIGESTING THE NEWS By Clifford C. Mitchell THE PUZZLE MAKERS Judging from the news and advertising columns of the many "exchanges" constantly reaching us the people seem to have gone "puzzle-mad." Why, even locally, we are forced to stop and move cautiously for fear of upsetting the puzzle of some acquaintance. * * * * Whether the cause of this sudden "puzzle-craze" is one of design or mere coincidence there is good psychology in back of it. What with the chaotic state of the world, and our own nation in particular, one needs to be "puzzle-minded" in order to maintain a normal mental balance. But for an intensely complicated puzzle I invite any one to try and assemble the many thousands of notations contained in my files on every conceivable racial subject, and make an orderly and consistent whole out of the many parts. * * * * * Either the puzzle parts (news dispatches contained in the racial "exchanges") are woefully in error or else our leaders, our writers, our propaganda publicists are super-excellent opportunists and their victory lies not in consistency but in mere head-line splurges. I often wonder if our various leaders think that their activities, real and announced, are carefully recorded and tabulated from week to week, and year to year? Surely, they cannot believe so, or else they themselves do not keep any record of their own actions, hence their constant inconsistencies which make them excellent puzzle makers. Instead of writing in parables it may be my good fortune, some day, to find myself so situated that in writing I can give concrete examples, with names, dates, and a complete analysis of the inconsistencies of many of our puzzle makers. In the mean time our close readers will have no difficulty in grasping my inferences. These situations are national. We can commence at the nation's capital, where our leaders, whose very existence is derived from the activities of "jim crow" organizations and whose cry is the loudest against all other jim crow activities, and cite example after example in every large center where our people exist in large numbers. * * * * We can go into the communities where our people are clamoring for opportunities and after they get them the protests are long and loud because the opportunities were handed to them on a brass tray instead of a golden one. If some writer should actually depict true conditions, giving specific details, etc., he would go down in history as one of the greatest American humorists, while readers would laugh themselves to sleep while decriing that such conditions couldn't possibly be true. I'm almost tempted to hang the puzzle makers in effigy. MRS. REVA SAYLES HOSTESS TO PANDORA BRIDGE CLUB Mrs. Reva Sayls, of 1838 Fifteenth Street Northwest, was the charming hostess to the Pandora Bridge Club on last Wednesday night.

Possibly inspired by thoughts of a rapidly approaching spring your humble columnist is beginning to wax poetic and to assume an air of vivacity and new-born hopefulness. Renowned psychologists tell us that the female of the species possesses a peculiar sense of intuition that enables her to predict and foretell futuristic happenings and events During the past two weeks so many of my female associates have divulged to me their inner beliefs that the future presents a rosy aspect for the average American citizen, and realizing that there must be some element of truth in the teachings of said psychologists, I have allowed this knowledge, together with the spring-inspired reverie to create within me a buoyancy of spirit and a joyousness of soul.

This young lady has her eye on the future, however, and is preparing herself for the business world by studying three nights a week in the class-rooms of the Shaw Night School'. As one cordial wisher to another, I wish her the best of happiness, and the greatest of success.

John Tayer, John Millard, Florence Turner, Everett Jefferies, and Slim Thomas were "kicking the well known gong around" at the Community Social Club's cabaret dance last Thursday night.... The current edition of the Ethel Waters show which ends today is "laying them cold in the aisles."

The paper ascribed its information to a “highest source,” otherwise un- indicated. ‘The whole Jewish population of Germany, totaling 600,000, is living under the shadow of a campaign of murder which may be initiated within a few hours and can not at thé most be postponed more than a few days, the Herald said, Tens of thousands of Jews, the newspaper continued, have been secretly indicted as Communists and Marxists and already are marked as victims, and the list is growing hourly, The Herald declared that com- plete evidence of the intentions of the German National Socialists (Hitlerites) has reached London and has been considered in the highest quarters.

CORONER WHITE- WASHES CARLOCK MURDERERS Commitiées of Action to Force Punishments of Cops, and Indemnity to Wife MEMPHIS, Tenn. Complete whitewash of the six Memphis po- licemen who murdered Levon Car- Tock, —_nineteen-year-old Negro worker here, was the outcome of a secretly, railroading — ten-minute ‘coroner's inquest on Tuesday, ‘February 28. ~ Completely unannounced and ‘with the obvious design of exclud- ing anyone interested in seeing the ‘murderers punished, Coroner Mil- ler rushed through his hearing with only Ruby Morris, the pros- stitute who was said to have made the “attack” accusing, several of of the murderers themselves, and another woman who had seen no part of the alleged attack or of the killing as witnesses. The verdict returned in this brazen whitewash of the hardened criminal Demo- cratic political machine of Mem~ phis was “justifiable homicide” on the grounds that Levon Carlock was attempting to escape arrest. The six policemen involved, against whom charges of murder are being laid by the International Labor Defense, are Patrolmen I. V. OGiun, A. F. Glissen, J, P. Free- man, 0. D. Sanders, Everett Scott and H, C. Hawks. The wounds in Carlock's body clearly’ indicated that. bullets had Entered from the front and from the side and top of the head, from angles which would have been im- possible if the youth had heen flee- ing. Farcial Verdict” Robert §. Keebler, prominent Memphis attorney, already retained by the International Labor Defense as advisory counsel, characterized such a verdict as farcical, Eula May Carlock, sixteen-year- old widow of the slain lad, was not called to appear at the coroner’s in- quest, although she had told Cor- oner Miller on the day before that her husband had been home all night when thesattack was sup- posed to have heen taking place, and told him of other witnesses to this fact, Miller called none of these. Neighborhood Carlock Commit- tees of Action have already been set up and additional thousand of Memphis Negro and white workers are being aroused to put up an or- ganized resistance to the police brutality and lynching which is 4 common practice of the Memphis police. The International Labdr Defense has already taken charge of the legal and mass prosecution of the case under the slogans: “Levon Carlock Must be the Last!’ and “Death Penalty for the Uni formed Murderers.” AFFLUENT WOMAN GETS CITY AID GLOVERSVILLE, N. ¥.—(CNS) —The city charity department has made public a report that Eliza- beth Clawson, middle aged Negro, supposed penniless and drawing $3.50 a week from the city, had a bank account. from which $9,775 re- cently had been withdrawn leaving only eighty cents in the account, bree oso NEW NEGRO FOLK DRAMA OPENS IN NEW YORK NEW YORK CITY—(CNS)— “Lonisian” a Negro folk drama by J.

His father was a blacksmith, His father wanted him to take engineering and his mother wanted him to become a musician. So a violinist he became. At fourteen he gave a concert at Carnegie Hall. At fifteen he was professor of vio- lin at the Mozart School of Music in New York. Ben's father could not under- stand why he would rather be a musician instead of an engineer. So at sixteen he entered New York University to he made an engineer, much against his will. They. did not succeed in making an engineer of him. Instead, he spent most of his time puttering around campus theatricals. In 1920 Bernie dropped in on Pau Whiteman one night and decided to have a band of his own. He com- bined smart chatter with smart music. He started a stage banc and featured it in vaudeville hous. es. When the Roosevelt Hotel was built in New York, Bernie and his band were billed for a six months engagement. He stayed five years. London heard about him and Bernie and the boys spent several months at the famous Kit Kat Club. He came back to the Roosevelt to Hollywood, and then to tie Col- lege Inn of the Sherman Hotel in Chicago. He now broadcasts tc million from there.

Phillips, commissioner of conciliation in the Department of Labor, refused to attend the citizens' testimonial and banquet given Monday night at John Wesley Church in honor of Congressman Oscar DePriest and the other Federal office holders. Mr. Phillips says that this is not the time to be banqueting, and that "all pomp and splendor even of the slightest tinge should be eliminated." The letter of Mr. Phillips to Mrs. Washington, chairman of the committee of arrangements, follows: M dear Mrs. Washington: With much appreciation and more surprise, may I be permitted to acknowledge your courteous letter of March 1, conveying to me for the first time the invitation of your committee to become an honored guest of a testimonial and banquet on Monday evening, March 6. Although I appreciate the very kindly consideration which you are tendering to me in such a public expression as you contemplate in behalf of one of the city's leading churches, and among, indeed, my good friends of the Federal service, I am quite confident that it was merely an oversight which prevented your committee from asking me, before preparing cards and invitations what my own personal feeling was concerning such an affair as you have generously planned. While it is true that for almost twenty-seven years, with but slight interruption, I have been continuously engaged in the Federal service, I do not feel that by any measure I approach the designation "outstanding Federal official," and had your committee ever hinted to me that it was their intention so to endeavor to honor me, for the sake of sincere belief I would have gladiated than informed them that I could in no wise participate in such a testimonial as you have arranged. Amid these days of fraugility, and particularly when the people of labor are striving might, and main to assist the masses of our workers our into the open fields of equality, improved opportunities, and a higher degree of well-being, coupled with more sincere simplicity and tolerance in behalf of all, I sincerely believe, my dear Mrs. Washington, that all pump and splendor, even of the slightest tinge, should be eliminated, at least as to any official of the government who is engaged in labor welfare; for, as you know from the creeds which have been developed by your own church the stone which the builders rejected has often become the chief cornerstone of the edifice of human effort and zeal. This is the code which the labor movement has long since adopted; and by it all who labor have resolved to go along together, without singling out as "unstanding" any labor official either in or out of the Federal service. Perhaps the great Judge of all will some day decide, rather than we, just who is upstanding in this life of labor; and feeling that in no way have I qualified, up to this time. I shall have to pray of you to eliminate my participation in the testimonial which you have so graciously arranged. With the kindest of regards to the distinguished guests and friends who will be present; with great appreciation for your kindly motivations; and with a sincere appeal for your understanding as to why it is impossible for me to be present, I am, with great respect, Very sincerely yours, KARL F. PHULLIPS, U. S. Com, of Conciliation. Pupils of Garnet-Patterson To Give Playlet The Garnet-Patterson Junior High School will present two Spanish playlets on the night of Friday, March 10, at 8 o'clock, in the school auditorium. This is a project of the pupils in the Spanish Club, under the sponsorship of Mrs. Gladys D. Edmonson, Spanish teacher. The titles of the playlets are "The Sandalwood Box," and "The Birthday of the Infanta." Scenery is being made by students under the supervision of Miss A. M. Green and O. J. Burke, of the art department; W. M. Minor, instructor of joinery; and W. H. Payne, instructor of electricity. The printing of tickets and programs is being done by students under the direction of H. F. Jones, instructor in printing. The main characters of the playlets are as follows: "The Sandalwood Box"—Irene Newman, Maurice VanBrakle, Presley Wallace, John Tucker. "The Birthday of the Infanta"—Charlila Henderson, Hassie Williams, Otto Branic. Music for the occasion will be under the direction of Mrs. F. H. Douglass. COLORED GROCERS ORGANIZE FOR CHAIN STORE OPERATION SECOND SECTION NATION'S CAPITAL ED GROC Coming ST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL More than one-half of the churches in the city have consented to permit a member of the association to address a meeting at the morning service on that day. In addition to members addressing the various congregations, a mass program will be held at Lincoln Temple Congregational Church at Eleventh and R Streets, Northwest, at 8 p.m. Augustus W. Gray is president of the local association, and Nathan A. Dobbins, chairman of the Lawyers' Day committee. The program at Lincoln Temple will consist of such outstanding lawyers and jurists as Attorney Raymond Pace Alexander, prominent member of the Philadelphia bar and former president of the National Bar Association, who will deliver the main address; Judge James A. Cobb, of the municipal court of the District of Columbia; Edward W. Henry, of the magistrate court of Philadelphia; and James S. Watson, of the municipal court of New York City, all of whom will deliver short addresses. The Lawyer's Day program is a part of a plan outlined by the Washington Bar Association for the purpose of awakening among the Negroes of Washington a deeper racial consciousness, the patronage and co-operation of racial institutions and enterprises, in addition to taking a definite stand on issues affecting the Negro at large. Mrs. Beatrise Bland was hostess to the La Jaya Club at her residence, 1235 Girard Street, Northwest. Members present were Mrs. Nan Parker Ball, Mrs. Florence Brooks, Mrs. Helen Davis, Mrs. Inez Dawes, Mrs. Lillian Gibbs and Miss Mae Wheeler. ICE! NEWSBOYS ENTS TE COLLECTORS NOTICE! TRIBUNE NEWSBOYS AGENTS FORMER ROUTE COLLECTORS (of THE WORLD and TRIBUNE) and All Members of the CIRCULATION DEPARTMENT Are Requested to Meet SATURDAY, MARCH 11th at 12:00 O'clock Noon Murray Casino 920 U Street, N.W. SIXTEEN MEET AND ELECT OFFICERS WEDNESDAY SIXTEEN MEET AND ELECT OFFICERS WEDNESDAY Isaiah Cunningham Heads Co-operative Group; DeBerry, Manager Negroes engaged in the grocery business here met Wednesday night at Isaiah Cummingham's, 1527 12th street, N.W., and formed an organization for the purpose of group buying and co-operative advertising. About twenty-five colored persons are engaged in the grocery business here. Sixteen of these have signed up to operate a chain of stores to be known as "The People's Grocery Stores." The following officers were elected at the meeting Wednesday night: Isaiah Cunningham, 1527 12th Street, northwest, president; J. E. Brooks, 1224 6th street, northwest, vice-president; J. W. Williams, 2401 Nichols avenue, southeast, vice-president; Daniel Butter, 55 Florida avenue, northwest, secretary; Ezekiel Cunningham, 700 3rd street, southwest, treasurer; Mrs. L. Jones, 1100 4th street, northwest, assistant secretary; Wm. C. F. DeBerry, Howard student, general manager, and Simeon Cunningham, 715 Florida avenue, northwest, publicity director. Some of these grocers trade with wholesale houses here and with houses in Baltimore. By concentrating their orders and dealing with certain wholesalers this group hopes to be able to buy at lower prices and thereby be able to compete with other chain stores of the city. The tendency of the grocery business is to chain buying and advertising. There are five or six big chains operating here now among the white owners. The Negro grocers are endorsing to organize also. The Colored Merchants Association of New York has had representatives here for the past two months trying to organize some of the colored stores and they are making a special effort to open a C.M.A. store here. This effort has no connection with the group movement organized here this week. The C.M.A. representatives, Miss Blanche Green and L. Aldridge have appeared before some of the civic associations and presented their proposition. They want to get 250 families within a given area to agree to trade at a C.M.A. store and to take a share of stock before the store is opened. Boy, 14, Electrocuted With 2 Men, Cousins COLUMBIA, S.C.-Three men were electrocuted at the State Penitentiary here Friday. They were Wil Sanders, a 14-year-old boy, who was convicted of the murder of a white woman, and James Jones and James Arthur Dicks, cousins, who are alleged to have killed a white farmer. MAN STABBED AT BOWLING ALLEY Joseph Brooks, 24, who lives in the rear of 441 I Street, Northwest, was stabbed in the back, apparently with a knife by an unknown man while in the Convention Hall Bowling Alley Friday night. The man was treated at Emergency Hospital and later transferred to Gallinger Hospital. His condition was reported as not serious. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK.

Chatterings BY THE BACHELOR TAKING THE PULPIT With fetching modesty, I blush prettily as the role of spiritual advisor to the more pious of the Tribune readers is thrust upon me. Like most births, this column was delivered in pain. It was the first notion of the editors that I go in for the business of spicy gossip after the manner of a tin horn Walter Winchell. I protested that becoming a journalistic street-walker ill became one of my age and dignity. My own notion is that I am fitted by my peculiar talents and the crying need of the Tribune for an "Advice to the Lovelorn" column. "Dear, Geraldine," I had planned writing in answer to the inquiry of some perturbed and trusting virgin. "Do not be dismaced—if the affections of your George, are apparently straying. His habit of blacking your eyes is only another proof that h has for you that type of love called by those who know, 'undying.' "But Geraldine, if George won't hold still I know a cozy little private dining room where we can have a heart to heart talk. You furnish the gin." THEY ALL FALL Ever since Edison was a little lad, Frederick Byron Pelham has been daring anything that is run by electricity to go wrong in his presence. Mike can grapple with ohms, watts, killowatts, and amperes with as much ease as a professional moocher can say. "I'll take a small one to be social." Among other things, the local technical wizard, has been noted for a heart that is insulated against the wiles of women. But Detroit sent something to Washington, that was not made by Ford and does not run by gas. Briefly, it was a lady of such high voltage that the current burned through Mike's heavy insulation. To prove that Mike had grabbed a heavy charge and couldn't let go, he went so far as to turn out dressed up. Oh. GENTLE ART. With fanfares of trumpets, with learned smirks and eye-rollings, the elite of the brain-trust gathered themselves together at Howard University to behold the melanoholy spectacle of the undraping of a portrait of Dr. Kell, Miller. Hymns of praise were chanted, the profundities of the erudite doctor-professor were duly extolled, and a good time was had by all; for, this remarkable and lovely portrait was executed by the same artist who had done Franklin Roosevelt, president of this here republic. Only one thing marred this epoch-making event, an unpaid bill for over $2,000 jumped out of the canvas. Now, there is nothing sadder than a painting not quite paid for, whether the work of art represents Apollo, Dr. Miller, the Milo Venus or Sporting Daniels. Any how, the grub was good whatever may be said by the oratory. INAUGURAL NUPTIALS The nee Mrs. Ainsworth Rucker, who for the past four months has been a dashing widow, threw a defy at the more conventional, and therefore, less intelligent, of local Grundies. While bands played "Happy Days Are Here Again" on Pennsylvania Avenue, she inaugurated a second matrimonial venture with Mr. Wm. J. Newsome of the Dunbar hi faculty. ****** "HAPPY AM I" When the guad and glitter of the inauguration was ended and prosperity was scheduled to arrive on Monday, by noon at the very latest, the Elder Michaux, local Bible enthusiast, held a post-inaugural sing party at the Washington Auditorium. The Elder, in spite of the barrage of criticism laid down on him by the highbrows, is a master of his little hustle, and a showman of no mean ability. The man has a suave charm and a mastery of his profession which amounts to genius. To boot, his bizarre theology has at least as much logic as the tony expostulating of his more orthodox brethren. This amazing fellow held forth to standing room only to over 7,000 customers for salvation, while the more refined pews were yelling for patronage. The Sunday affair was a stompdown good sing-fest. Their closing hymn sent me into the open much disturbed. This pleasing ditty was entitled "We've Got the Devil on the Run." As long as you do not rent that room you are losing money.

Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1933 Pioneers on Faculty Honored at Howard Charter Day Banquet Pioneers on Faculty Honored at Howard Charter Day Banquet Tributes Paid to Deans Miller and Pratt, Miss Hardwick, and Congressman DePriest; Miller Portrait Presented Honor to those who have given many years of service to Howard University and the cause of Negro education was the theme of the Tenth Annual Charter Day Dinner held last Thursday in the university dining hall. Climaxing the commemoration of the founding of the university sixty-six years ago, the dinner closed fittingly with tribute after tribute to the great minds and souls that have given their all to making Howard University what it is today. curse of this modern age was the cock-sureness of the people that they had discovered the last word in the best of everything, the Rev Mr. Elmes declared that these times demanded a steadiness or purpose and an unwavering faith. A violin solo—"Slavonic Fantasy" by Dvorak and Kreisler, by Louia Vaughn Jones of the School of Music faculty, with "Deep Rive" by Coleridge-Taylor as an encore, followed the main ad dress. Miss Camil' Nickerson accompanied at the piano. More than 400 guests gave enthusiastic approval to the honor accorded Dean Kelly Miller, who for fifty-three years has been connected with the university as student, teacher, and alumnus; to Miss Marie Hardwick, who was formerly preceptress at Miner Hall; to Dean D. Butler Pratt (white), of the School of Religion and to the Hon. Oscar DePriest, Illinois representative in the United States Congress. Miller Portrait Presented The crowning event of the evening was the presentation by the alumni of a $2,500 oil painting of Dean Miller to the university; but even this was no more touching than the basket of flowers presented by the alumnae to Miss Hardwick in appreciation of her guidance of Howard girls in old Miner Hall. In the tribute paid to Miss Hardwick, read by Mrs. A. Bell Canady, it was recommended that one of the new dormitories for women be named for Miss Hardwick. Secretary Wilbur Speaks The observance of Charter Day started with chapel exercises at 11 a.m. when Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, Secretary of the Department of the Interior, declared that the present economic life must be dealt with by experts, and that there was never a more important time in which to advance the interests of the race and of the institution than now. He said that students should so apply themselves to their tasks at Howard University that they should become experts, capable of coping with the complex problems of society. Dr. Wilbur expressed the hope that Howard University, like Leland-Stanford University, in his own state, will have independent leadership, with its own buildings and endowment, and without the necessity of Congressional aid. Early Teachers Stressed Religion Kelly Miller called attention to the fact that the missionary pedagogues who labored for the education of liberated slaves, following the close of the Civil War, were more dominated by the spirit than the letter. He spoke of General Armstrong at Hampton Institute as founding the first institute of technocracy. Concerning the pioneers in Negro education, Mr. Miller said that among them there was more joy over one sinner who repented than over ninety-nine who made perfect recitations. He urged that while thinking of the Greater Howard and the future, that we hold fast to the things of the past that are good until of a certainty we have found something better In introducing Dr. Wilbur President Johnson paid tribute to the interest manifested by the secretary in Howard University during the administration of President Hoover; and in presenting Professor Miller, the president spoke of Dr. Miller's forty-three years of service on the university faculty, gentleness of temper, and clearness of thought that commanded the respect even of those who differed with his conclusions. Dean D. Butler Pratt, of the School of Religion, offered the invocation following the academic procession and the "Hallelujah Chorus" from the Massiah sung by the university choir. Miss Louise Burge sang "Wade in de water," by Burleigh as a contralto solo, and Miss Ethyl B. Wise, Miss Louise Burge, and Mrs. Ruth Logan, sang "Goi.' Home" from Dvorak's "New World Symphony" as a trio. The entire audience concluded with the singing of Alma Mater. The Rev. Mr. Elmes Speaks The principal address at the evening dinner was delivered by the Rev. A. F. Elmes, pastor of the People's Congregational Church. Stressing the fact that these were times of change, and that the Because of the Present National Financial Crisis The Washington Tribune Announces the Postponement —Of Its— World's Fair Contest. Until Further Notice Workers will receive cash commissions for work done to date; and may continue to work on this basis as long as they desire. curse of this modern age was the cock-sureness of the people that they had discovered the last word in the best of everything, the Rev. Mr. Elmes declared that these times demanded a steadiness of purpose and an unwavering faith. A violin solo—"Slavonic Fantasie" by Dvorsak and Kreisler, by Louia Vaughn Jones of the School of Music faculty, with "Deep Rive" by Coleridge-Taylor as an encore, followed the main address. Miss Camil' Nickerson accompanied at the piano. Two resolutions—one commending the Hon. Oscar DePriest for his effort on the floor of the House of Representatives in behalf of the appropriation for a new heating plant at the university, and his bill to pension the ex-slaves; the other in tribute to Dean Pratt for his unselfish and valuable service to the School of Religion—were read by Nathan Dobbins. Messages of acceptance and regret from special guests were read by Miss Thomasine E. Corruthers. Miss Hardwick Deeply Moved. The tribute to Miss Hardwick which came next was a surprise to every except the alumnae, but it proved to be one of the most impressive on the program. Miss Hardwick, too full to speak, could say only a few words of acceptance, but the thunderous applause which followed indicated that her beneficent spirit had permeated the audience. Dean D. O. W. Holmes (1901), Mrs. Florence Dungue Carroll (1902), and Dean E. P. Davis (1907), as former students of Dean Kelly Miller, made short speeches of appreciation, after which Miss Maude Smothers sang a solo. Grandchildren Unveil portrait Bernhard Goodwin, who painted the portrait of Mr. Miller, was presented to the audience, after the Rev. W. R. A. Palmer, of Kansas City, made the presentation to the university. The portrait was unveiled by two little grandchildren of Dr. Miller's—Annie May and Gloria Miller, after which President Johnson accepted it on behalf of students, alumni and trustees of the university. Dean Miller expressed his appreciation of the occasion. Attorney George E. C. Hayes was master if ceremonies, and music was provided by the university string ensemble, under the direction of Louia Vaughn Jones. Seated at the guest table were: Congressman and Mrs. D. E. W. Jones, Bishop and Mrs. E. D. W. Jones, Attorney and Mrs. Geo. E. C. Hayes, Bernhard Godwin, Dr. Sara W. Brown, trustee; Dr. Evelyn Howard, grand niece of General O. O. Howard; the President and Mrs. Johnson, Dean Kelly Miller, and Mrs. Miller, the Rev. A. F. Elmes, the Rev. W. R. A. Pamer, Miss Marie Hardwick, and Mrs. Alma J. Scott, who was chairman of the general committee on charter day dinner. Mrs. Effie Pettis of 1845 Vernon Street, Northwest, gave an oyster and clam bake in honor of Thomas H. Jones of New York City who was her house guest over the week end. Ten other guests were present.

Miss Beatrice M. Murphy told of her efforts as president of the Young Negroes' Political Study Club. She made a favorable impression upon the committee as to the need of fostering such a movement, and a motion was passed to establish an educational department of the league for the purpose of organizing and holding political study clubs among the young. A committee was appointed by the chairman, Bishop E. D. W. Jones, to draft a plan and program for this educational department. The committee is Morris Lewis, secretary to Congressman Oscar De and Mrs. Blanche Armwood Washington. Miss Beatrice Murphy was appointed field secretary to organize the political study clubs.

RECREATIONAL WORKERS HAVE CONFERENCE The annual conference of the National Recreation Workers, colored bureau, was held at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School last Monday am. Tuesday. The conference opened with a special public meeting Sunday afternoon in the auditorium of the above school. The principal address was delivered by Ernest T. Attwell, of Philadelphia, director of the bureau. He discussed the interracial aspect of recreation programs for colored people. The address of welcome was delivered by Garret C. Wilkinson, assistant superintendent of public schools, who pointed out the needs for more recreational activities here in the District, including playgrounds and centers. Announcements were made by Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., and the presiding officer. Invocation and remediation were given by Dr. D. E. Wiseman, Louia Vaughn Jones, of the Howard University Conservatory of Music, gave a violin solo, with Clyde Glass at the piano, while Mrs. Elizabeth Sinkford was heard in two vocal numbers: A feature of the program was a processional composed of fifty boys of th. Francis Junior High School, Banneker Center, and the Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran). Aside from the usual business sessions, a luncheon on Monday and a dance Tuesday night were the highlights of the conference. Delegates were here from the nearby states. Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham, director of the colored community centers, was chairman of the program and entertainment committee. An exhibit of the work of the various centers and social service houses of the city was on display in the auditorium of the school throughout the conference.

The man's condition was reported serious at Emergency Hospital. Police are investigating the case. Washington at Random by George T. Waugh DANCE LIFE "Green Pastures," the inaugural festivities and social dark Washington goes haywire. The smart set becomes the smart mob—the ultra-sophisticated become the ultra-ridiculous—we hang our pride upon a hook while we go down town and do battle for jim crow seats. Hurrah, World. Spit in our faces, browbeat us—what care we, as long as we can dance in segregated ballrooms, the Charleston, the Omega bump, the Lindy hop? Dance, folks, dance; and on the way out retrieve your self-respect by giving the check-room girl a dime. Cheap evening—very. Dinners, parties, bridge—the big show-off is on. Eat, drink bad gin, be merry, for tomorrow we diet—tomorrow is Lent, we fast, and the penitent debauchee becomes a religieuse—wearing black and doing good deeds. Rhapsodies in blue, in black—music, celestial choirs—Sing lustily Life—we celebrate by making a loud noise, sing, brawlers of the auction block—we sell our souls for a good time. Make a joyful noise before the house of pleasure. Give cheers for a new deal—a new round of segregation—of kicks and bruises—insults decked in pretty clothes by scheming statesmen. Give cheers, the cards are stacked against us anyhow—so dance—muddy water 'round my feet, but a rain-bow 'round my shoulder. Have a gay time, for tomorrow is another hangover and we greet it: "Good morning, Life. Do you think it a beautiful day?" NEWS ITEM The West Virginia State College Alumni (of which yours truly is a member) is planning something unusual in an open forum. Harry Riley, director of boys' athletics of Dunbar Community Center, will introduce a novel plan for community recreation. All West Virginia grads had better get in touch with me. HEARD AND SEEN The New York World-Telegram bouquets Hall Johnson's "Run Little Chillun." Not since "Green Pastures" has a play of such stark power and subline beauty brought reverence to an infidel season on Broadway. As told to me—a very popular knight errant of the Rialto was ankling an extremely beautiful femme to one of the chop suey joints along U Street—the other early dawn. The damsel in question was so fair that the Irish copper on the beat thought she was an ofay (and maybe she was). Anyway, copper started a brawl in which the young fellow came out ace high. So now when he passes that way the copper goes pink-face (and not from cold). The other Friday at Howard midnight show, I did a stage door Johnnie. And was I thra-illed? Ask me no more. A hot-house of roses to our former co-ed Avis Andrews (every day in every way she gets better and better). Her versatility in "Rhapsody in Black" speaks for itself, and as we shook hands and talked I thought of how she sang on the Hill in the same lovely voice. More power to you, Avis. Clap hearty mitts for Katherine Perry, of "Rhapsody," a product of Washington's own amateur productions. Hurrahs for the writer of "Let's Be Ourself," the editorial in the last issue of the Hilltop.

Lanky Taylor's southpaw seemed to sprout doubledeckers, as he uncorked 11 twinpointers and gathered a total of 23 tallies, before he called it a day's work. Grooms of the Coppinites also played sensationally, getting 13 counters. White collected 8 for the visitors, while West of the hometowners had 7 and played a sparkling guard.

Former Discus Champion to Seek to Regain Laurels TUSKEGEE, Ala.—When Coach Atkins calls her candidates for the 1933 girls' track team for practice it appears that a brilliant array of talent will respond. Estelle Pearson, former holder of the girls' Tuskegee relays disc record, will seek to dethrone Laura Woods, present wearer of the discus crown. Last year at the Tuskegee relays this Howard Academy girl heaved the platter for a distance of 103 feet, 8 inches. Ruth Kidd will defend her title in the baseball throw. Her distance is 200 feet. The 1932 girls' relay team composed of Francis Ary, Christine Evans, Vesta Crayton and Marie Ferguson, has returned to school intact and will endeavor to retain its present membership.

The Hornets had trounced the Tigers by a score of 31-22 on Monday night after their belated return from Memphis where they defeated LeMoyne College on the preceding Saturday night. The Alabama State Teachers Hornets bade farewell to their home fans Thursday and made their last home conference appearance against South Carolina State with a decisive victory margin of 32-12 in their first conference game with South Carolina State College which was admitted to the Southern Conference last December.

TIPTON LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—After a brief reminiscence eof a 1932 championship track and field team, Coach T. L. Robinson found that only three of that ideal group are at his disposal this year. Of that group there are only Captain Staten, who ran away with the mile and halg mile in 1932; Conliffe, broad jumper, and hero of the C.I.A.A. meet; and Terry.

Terry and Miller are running close behind Robinson for honors in that they have 175 to 150 points, respectively. Many others entered the senior division, but were forced to retire when the leaders set such a burning pace. Though forced out they have concentrated on the meet scheduled for this Friday night. The speed test for the following week should be to their liking in that many were able to stay for a half hour, but that will be seen later. The junior division brought a good swimmer in Thomas Bonner, of the Y.M.C.A. Bonner set the pace for the whole hour and came through with first place with 90 laps to his credit, to win the points for first. He managed to score 200 points in the competition last week. Garner was second in this division and was followed closely by William Townsend, a promising youngster in the aquatic field. The relay team of Bonner, Garner and Townsend set a fast pace and had things their way throughout that event, but were extended to get the medley relay under their belts. All of these boys will be entered in the other events and will be close rivals in the meet that is to be held Friday night. Any one wishing to enter the meet should get in touch with Clarence Pendleton at the Dunbar Community Center on Friday night. These meets are open to girls and men, and opportunity is given after the meet to take part in the free instruction offered in swimming, life saving and diving. Government Loop Leaders Bow to Frats When White Team Fails to Appear The G. P. O. basketball team lost to the Fraternity Five who were substituted for the white G. P. O. team 24 to 14 Monday at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. The game was fairly fast and the score is not altogether indicative of the closeness of the fight. The Frat Five relied on a fast passing attack and a double cut for the basket, the shot invariably being made by the incoming guard. G. P. O. never managed to get going and the combination which is playing havoc with the teams in the Government League looked particularly sad. Gip Gibson was the outstanding player for G. P. O. while Freddie Sabbs who suddenly "skulled" Freedenberg the Fraternity Five's five point scorer, gavev Gip Gibson a sharp shove on a foul shot, was given the most cheers by G. P. O.'s rooters. Goldberg and Menster performed to advantage for the Frat Five, scoring four points each.

College, in a thrilling and hard-fought game, played in the Virginian's gymnasium last Tuesday, by a 40 to 30 score. The Trojans were first to score as Butler, ae forward of the Virginians, sank two foul goals, less than one minute after the starting whistle. The lead thus attained was increased to 12 points by the accurate shooting of Butler, Hall and Hughes, before the Aggies could get started. Although the North Carolinians rallied after calling time out for a rest, they never succeeded in overtaking the Trojans. However, McCoy, Burgess and Morrow did some neat floor work and accurate shooting to put their team in the game; so that at the end of the first half the score stood 18 to 15 in the Trojans' favor. High scoring honors of the game were won by Hall, of Virginia State. Scott, of State, and McCoy, of A. & T., tied for second place in the scoring, each with 10 points. The line-up: VA.

Notwithstanding the sparkling offensive and defensive play of Logan, who was a virtual stone in the eye to the Dunbar lads, Nappy Wormley marked his return to the court game with a snappy thirteen points to lead the tallying of both quints. For the sixth time in his sixteen games Geechee (Junior) Mitchell, broke into the scoring column when he sank the ball from the free throw line to bring his season's total to twelve. As usual the fray featured the smooth passing which has dominated the floorwork of the Generals, and while the Community Center cohorts performed in creditable style, their attack fell short of its mark.

Lake captured over three rounds with ease. This was his second win over Lake, having knocked the Baltimore out in a recent contest in Baltimore. In the wrestling contest, E. Ware, of Baltimore, and Doughass, of the Twelfth Street Y, went eight minutes to a draw. The boys were one hundred pounders. In the final wrestling match Chief Brown won a technical victory over Julius James, of Baltimore. When Junius refused to continue the match the bout was awarded to the Twelfth Street matman. Hiking Gordon, formerly known as Rough House, gave an excellent exhibition with Kid Jenkins, of the local squad. The boxing exhibition will be held at the Y once a week, beginning on March 16.

TROUPE IS STAR AS MORGAN WINS Saves the Day for Bears With Field Goal and Foul Throw BALTIMORE, Md. — Meeting Hampton in a game packed with thrills from the first blowing of Referee Duck Gibson's whistle until the last second of play, the Morgan Bears triumphed over the Hampton Ironmen for the second time this season to the tune of 27-36 at the Albert Auditorium, Friday. In a game which proved the hardest test the Bears have been subjected to this season, Troupe saved the day for Morgan by a sensational break through the Ironmen's defense for a double decker which tied the score and this same fighting forward followed through with a successful shot from the foul line for the point that gave Morgan the victory in the final seconds of play. Bears Lead at Hall Determined to avenge their defeat of a few weeks ago at the hands of the Bears, the Ironmen placed a swift-moving and accurate shooting quintet on the boards and before the Bears could organize their defensive machine, the Ironmen had clocked four points. The Hampton lead was short-lived and Morgan soon took the lead to hold it throughout the period. The apparently impenetrable defense of the Ironmen was broken and the Bears, following the lead of Gibson and Troupe, began to pile up their winning score. At half time the Bears were in the van with a 16-13 lead.

Bisons to Begin Five Weeks of Spring Football Practice Gridiron Schedule to Begin October 14 With St. Paul in Washington and End With Lincoln University in Philadelphia Thanksgiving Day Coach Bill Bell, of Howard, announced this week that plans have been made for a brief spring practice which will be held on the campus. At the same time the 1993 football schedule was given out. Coach Tom Verdell will be busy with the track squad, but will devote some in helping to coordinate the backfield. Coach Bell issued the following statement this week to the prospective grid players: week of the new quarter. We will go out there three times a week each period lasting no longer than one hour and fifteen minutes. There will be a division of the squad into the Blues and White, with the letter men distributed as equally as possible on both outfits. One large scrimmage the fourth week and a game at the end of the fifth week, will close the season. "It is a well known fact that, for a man to become a good football player, he must, first of all, have the desire to play for the love of the sport and the willingness to sacrifice a few little things while in training. Spring is a wonderful time to learn football. We will have plenty of time for fundamentals, since we will not be under pressure preparing for games. There have been a few changes made in the rules since last year, and it is very necessary that we know them. "The season will not last longer than five weeks, starting the first VIRGINIA STATE PLANS TOURNEY PETERSBURG, Va. — Preparations for the sixth annual Virginia State Inter-scholastic basketball tournament, to be held at Virginia State College, March 10 and 11, inclusive are rapidly taking final shape as information comes in daily from the largest field of entrants ever to participate. To date twenty-five city high and county training schools have entered the meet, and from all present indications, this year's tournament will be the most interesting and enthusiastic on record. Two Classes This year, for the first time the contestants have been divided into classes A and B, the former consisting of city high schools and the latter of county training schools. Athletic directors throughout the state have given this innovation their hearty approval, and, in all probability, this change is responsible for the greater enthusiasm. The competition will be on a mere even basis as a result of this division. Trophies will be awarded the first and second place teams in each class. Champions Threatened Speculation as to what team will win the state championship this year is more rife than ever. Although Dunbar High of Lynchburg has almost completely dominated former tournaments, five times winning the championship, the records of several teams entered in this year's meet serve definite warning that there is plenty of trouble ahead for the champions. Phoenix High of Hampton will enter the tournament with a heavy following due to the fine record of this team this season. Many believe that Buck Neilson's scrappy cagers will overthrow the cham- week of the new quarter. We will go out there three times a week each period lasting no longer than one hour and fifteen minutes. There will be a division of the squad into the Blues and White, with the letter men distributed as equally as possible on both outfits. One large scrimmage the fourth week and a game at the end of the fifth week, will close the season. “There will be a tournament for all non-letter men held at the end of the season. The contest will cover such phases of football as punting, passing, blocking, tackling, pass receiving, and running with the ball. The champion will be properly awarded.” The schedule for 1933 is as follows: October 14, St. Paul at Howard; 21, Virginia State at Howard; 26, West Virginia State at Charleston; November 4, Morgan at Baltimore; 11, Hampton at Howard or Polo Grounds; 18, North Carolina State at Durham; 25, (Open); 30, Lincoln at Philadelphia. Tribune Girls Win Two After a Losing Streak PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — The Philadelphia Tribune girls' basketball club, after a trip through Ohio where they lost three games, returned here to their home court at the Y.W.C.A. on Friday and won an exciting game from the Colonial Maids (white) by a score of 37 to 34.

Golf Skits Golf Skits By HAPPY WALTERS **** Now that the House committee has eliminated the proposal of the Budget Bureau to appropriate funds for a new course, I feel that this is the signal for us to be doing something ourselves. Players have constructed and maintained courses in other cities, and it can be done here. The Shady Rest Club in New Jersey is a fine example of what our players can accomplish through mass effort. Is there any reason why we cannot do as well? Of course nothing can be obtained by sitting around waiting for others to begin. Your plans and ideas are just as good as the other fellow's. If jim crow playing conditions are to be eradicated, it will surely have to come through our own activities. For as long as municipal playing facilities are furnished for us and we use them, we will continue to be jim crowed. We have never put forth an effort to do for ourselves. We have continually leaned on the few loyal sportsmen who have striven to interest officials in our lack of playing facilities, with no organized body to back them up. Are we to continue in the same old groove, or step out and make an independent effort? * * * * We have entered the realm of a "new deal," and if we are to make any headway, let us band together, for I am sure we will obtain a course and continue the splendid effort we are making in this game. We should realize how idle we have been, how we have made ourselves contented just to play on anything when our efforts should have been used in trying to obtain better facilities. The new leaders of this game do not intend to let the game pass out among our players, for if every fan will stick and do his part, I'm sure we will succeed. *** *** When I suggested to some friends a few years ago my intentions to hold annual tourneys on the memorial, several claimed I would receive little support. But on the contrary, more players entered the tournaments and engaged in play otherwise, the past three years, than ever before. Those who entered the different affairs did so for the play and not for the love of the course by any means. JEFFRIES STARS AS Y FIVE WINS Scores 9 Fields Goals and Two Fouls in 45 to 42 Victory The Twelfth Street Y Big Five continued its winning ways by downing the Casino Big Five, of Baltimore, on the local Y court here Tuesday night by a score of 45 to 42. The Baltimore tossers jumped to an early lead with Hudson and Newton leading the attack. The Y was forced to trail at half time, 18 to 26. In the second stanza it was a fighting Y team that took the floor. The team started off an offensive with Slim Thomas controlling the tap at every jump. Jeffries did yeoman duty and scored 9 baskets from the court and two fouls for a total of 20 points. Buter and Sonny Hawkins did well in the forward positions with Jackson and Bobby Hawkins during excellent service. In the preliminary the All-Stars trounced the Freedmen's Hospital team by a score of 26 to 19. Y BIG FIVE 0 G P G CASINO Butler, f... 0 0 T.

(Special) —Lowering two school records, the Bruins of the University of California in Los Angeles opened their track and field season here with a 75-65 victory over the impressive resistance of the Pomona College Sage Hens. A great array of quarter-milers enabled the Bruins to establish new marks in the 440-yard dash and the mile relay. James Arthur LuValle, son of J. A. G. LuValle, of the Washington (D.C.) Tribune, was the Bruins' star. LuValle, sophomore ace, turned in the remarkable time of 49 6-10 seconds in the quarter mile to establish'a new U.C.L.A. record in that event. The old mark was held by Art Wilson in 1931, at 49 8-10 seconds The Westwood relay team coated to an easy victory in the baton passing event to hang up a new mark in this race at 3:25 5-10 seconds. They won by 100 yards to smash the 3:26 4-10 mark established in 1929. LuValle ran anchor on the team. LOOP HEADS MEET TO LAY PLANS President Greenlee Predicts Good Season for Clubs This Year By W. ROLLO WILSON PHILADELPHIA. — Gus Greenlee, president of the Negro National League, and William (Dizzy) Dismukes, secretary, met several Eastern club owners in this city on Friday and held a two-hour conference with them. Because of the uncertainty of whether there will be Sunday baseball in Pennsylvania this year the big league schedules are being withheld until early in April, and so the magnates could not make any schedule arrangements to fit into the lay-out which will be presented to the schedule makers of the Western division of the league a few days hence. Many Problems Solved Many problems affecting ownership of players were harmoniously solved and booking arrangements for Western teams coming East to meet Eastern clubs were completed. Since the league clubs will not play each day in the week each team will have open dates and these will be filled by Eddie Gottlieb, local booking agent, acting in co-operation with Eold Bolden, John Dykes, Otto Briggs, and the other Eastern club owners. No decision was reached as to whether one or both of the teams now planned for Baltimore—the Black Sox and Ben Taylor's Stars—will be invited into the Eastern division. The status of the Black Yanks is unsettled because of the unavoidable absence of L. M. Goodson and Secretary Semler from the meeting, although the club is expected to be one of the strong members of the loop. Prospects Bright Judy Johnson, it was announced, will return to the Pittsburgh Crawfords as field captain, Bolden and Greenlee having reached an agreement on this and several other players. After the meeting President Greenlee said that conditions were favorable for a good season and that each club ought to be able to go through the season without any loss by observing a rigid retrenchment program.

THIRTEEN 10 HOPEFULS OUT FOR TECH'S TEAM Candidates Brave March Winds to Try for Diamond Berths Forty candidates for berths on Armstrong's 1933 baseball team braved the stiff March winds to give Coach Cato W. Adams his first opportunity to observe all departments in action. Tech's supremacy on the diamond was abruptly terminated last season when with two on the sacks Tim Irving drilled a bounder which skipped off the short-stop's glove and continued to the Dunbar wall, when the centerfeder safety man, fell sprawling, allowing three runs to end the game, 5-4. The following boys certified their willingness to help Armstrong regain her lost glory: pitchers—Carey, Lewis, Miller, Mason, Ellis, Chambers, Oliver, Washington, Isley, Roberts, Saunders, and Brock, Catchers—Freeman, Moss, Jackson, Payne, Wallace and Williams, Infielders—Stewart, captain; Russell, Sawyer, Glymph, Johnson, Wines, Chisley, Neverson, N, Chambers, Ballard, Clark, and Brooks, Outfielders—Burton, Williams, N.

Several of last year's squad will join up when the basketball tournament scheduled for March 17-18 is closed. P. A. Roy has agreed to assist in whipping the squad into shape. The first game is scheduled with the alumni, Monday, March 20, when Jokey Levi brings his pals of years' standing down to test out the colts. League Tidbits By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB President, Colored Government Basketball League As the government basketers near the three-quarter mark of their goal, it is quite appropriate to make a sligit resume of the accomplishments and high lights of league and players since the inauguration of the league. A word or two concerning the organization of the Governmental Basketball League. To say that the machinery of this infant body has always performed smoothly would be to make a very false statement. As is usually the case in any embryo group, a number of errors have been committed, and any amount of foolish and unwise legislation passed by our enterprising league officials. For example there has been some outright "bootlegging" of players committed by the management of certain teams in the league-players who have had no authentic affiliation with either the District or federal branches of service. The executive board of the league, however, is investigating the status of every player on each of the six teams in the league, and a thorough "house cleaning" will result from their findings. Together with this worry, matters pertaining to finance, etc., have given us no end of deliberation. Yet, aside from these usual routine pitfalls, the league, in the final analysis, bids fair to attain some considerable measure of success and glory. Spectators have witnessed all of the league games can attest to the fact that for the nominal sum of fifteen cents they have more than received their money's worth. The games have been characteris- for their excitement, competition, rivalry and ralbidity that has been on constant display for the digestion of the followers. In order to cater to the female element the directors have seen fit to admit all ladies with paid escorts free to these games. And now for the high lights: Best all-around player in the league—Willie Hope, G.P.O. Most improved player in the league—Freck Boone, Treasury. Surprise team of the league—Army War College. Most disappointing team in the league—Commerce. No victories in five starts. Hardest working players in the league—Fred Smith, Treasury; Sam Lacey, Liberty Loan; 'Newt Jackson, G.P.O. I have availed myself of this opportunity to present to the public some general idea of the "inside workings" of our organization. I could not properly conclude this resume without publicly expressing my gratitude and appreciation to my co-workers, Lawrence J. W. Hayes, executive secretary; Bob Smith, treasurer; and Hardy Jones, for the very valuable assistance that they have rendered up to this point. May I also express the thanks of the league to The Washington Tribune for its generosity in publishing the accurate accounts of the activities of the league.

His first and only appearance on this trin. Mr. Muse is known for his characterizations in the movies, and by his singing of spirituals.

'THE WOMAN ACCUSED WITH NANCY CARROLL AT THE LINCOLN "Glenda O'Brien, on her wedding eve, is face to face with a murder charge." That is the breathless beginning of a story written by ten of the world's greatest living authors that has been filmed to make the "Woman Accused" the picture that opens at the Republic for five days, March 10. Nancy Carroll, Cary Grant and John Halliday head the cast which enacts the story, a modern problem play. It centers around Miss Carroll, who on the evening of her wedding to Grant, is confronted by a former lover who demands that she return to him. When she flatly refuses to have anything further to do with him, he picks up the telephone, calls a gangster acquaintance, and requests him to "bump off" Grant. Before he can mention the latter's name, however, Nancy, hysterical, has struck him over the head with a bronze figurine. Then to her horror she discovers she has killed him. When she flees to the steamship bound for a week-end cruise to "nowhere," a friend of the slain man follows her, seeking evidence that will incriminate 'he girl. But Grant in a dramatic climax, clears her of all guilt and carries her off to safety. On Wednesday and Thursday, the speedy new thrill picture "State Trooper," which exposes the racket in the oil industry, will be the screen feature. Here is a picture that moves. It has moments of grand humor, and moments of tense drama and romance—but all the while it is moving at a tremendously fast pace. Regis Toomey, as a young motorcycle official, accepts a job in an oil refinery as a guard during a relentless price cutting war engaged in by two powerful companies. He can cope with dynamiters and other plots to destroy the plant, but when it comes to coping with the beautiful, spoiled daughter of the "boss"—there is presented a series of complicated situations that make the entertainment exciting. Evalyn Knapp takes the part of the haughty daughter who finally falls in love with the state trooper. JEWELL THEATRE 214 Four-and-a-Half St., S.W.

PAUL ROBESON TO BE SCREENED AS O'NEILL'S "EMPEROR JONES" PAUL ROBESON TO BE SCREENED AS O'NEILL'S "EMPEROR JONES" NEW YORK.—Paul Robeson, internationally known baritone singer, linguist and actor, has signed a contract to play the title role in the talkie version of "The Emperor Jones," written for the stage by Eugene O'Neill. This announcement was made here last week. Robeson is a graduate of Rutgers College, New Jersey, where he won the Phi Beta Kappa key. He was a four letter man in sports four years while at school. He studied law at Columbia University, New York, and was induced to try the role of "The Emperor Jones" on the stage by O'Neill after he had widely sought to find some one to fill the place of the late Charles Gilpin. Robeson appeared in England opposite Mrs. Patrick Campbell, famous British actress. There was quite a sensation created when the theatrical producers hinted that he might be brought to America and starred opposite a white woman on Broadway in a play in which Robeson had won much favorable comment from theatrical critics in London. He played Othello to Mrs. Campbell's Desdemona. When the Metropolitan Opera Company announced "the Emperor Jones" company, in its repertoire of plays, many opera goers in New York believed Robeson would get the title role to sing. Lawrence Tibbett, the Metropolitan star, was given the place instead. The white man, according to many critics, while well received by the audience, fell far short of Robeson's talent in singing and acting. Tibbett is said to have failed to bring out the real Negro. He was always a blacked face white man giving to his audience what Tibbett thought was "Negro." Southern Woman Won't Sing on Bill With Negroes NSW YORK.—Because Grace Moore the Tennessee opera singer, had Inserted a clause in her contract to restrain the booking agents of Loew's Broadway picture theatre from placing a colored act on the same bill with her she has lost a chance to play that theatre. Commenting on Miss Moore's action, "Variety," a theatrical publication, describes the stipulation as being "probably the strangest clause ever inserted in a variety booking contract." Miss Moore was to have played at the Capitol Theatre the week of February 24th at $4,000, but the Loew office took a look at the contract as rewritten by Miss Moore with the non-colored clause inserted, and called the deal off. It is reported that Miss Moore's prejudice asserted itself because the Mill Brothers had been on the same bills with Mary Garden and had shared equal billings. Unfortunately, the Mills Brothers dimmed the lustre of the famous Mary and Miss Moore's aristocratic southern blood could not face a situation like that. So the Mills Brothers stay and Miss Moore is out.

IT'S BEING DONE The usual Sunday afternoon tea, groups sitting around guzzling tea and talking in low voices like the dim annoyance of buzzing dice. One hefty matron has the floor as I enter. She is dramatizing an incident pretty badly, but more for effect than accuracy of detail. Heads nod over tea-cups, "I told you so; and don't you know Mr. So and So's wife ran off with the ice man?" Well, after all, all, one must have something to go along with gossip and a little sin of tea and a few cakes is as good an excuse as any other. Introductions are really a joke. The usual, "How do you do?" and a mechanical smile which is a strong mixture of condescension, absent-mindedness and a desire to be polite. I did feel sorry and amused too at my hostess as she went about from group to group with that careless gesture of a hen who had mothered ducklings. I was called upon to play a piano solo and the minute I touched the keyboard I knew I would have made better time putting a nickel in the slot. After struggling through something, I staggered away to an applause that was purely a reflex action and somewhere in the rear of the room I heard a stinging hee-haw. CARD OF THANKS Miss Helen I.

Whole Campus Co-operates to Make Exercises a Success; Parade Theme—"Contributions of the Negro to the National Welfare" SIXTEEN By George A. Kupper HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—During the hours when the attention of most of the United States was focused on the National Capital where Franklin D. Roosevelt was being inaugurated as President of the United States, there took place on the Hampton Institute campus a duplicate inaugural ceremony in which the administrative staff, faculty, and students cooperated to show to those who were unable to be present in the National Capital exactly what took place there. This counterpart of the official program was the culmination of months of planning on the part of the director, Isaac Fisher, general secretary of the Hampton Institute Y.M.C.A.; of Ceia F. Hyney, of the art department, who had charge of the making of numerous costumes for ambassadors, consuls, marshals, etc.; and of a large committee of faculty and students. The entire ceremony was conducted with a dignity which made a deep impression on the hundreds of spectators. Pesident-Elect Enters "White House" The ceremonies began at eleven o'clock when G. Portfield Harris of Wilmington, Delaware, who acted the part of the President-elect, arrived at the White House (Holly Tree Inn), followed ten minutes later by Charles H. Flax, of Morgantown, N.C., who enacted the part of the retiring President. The succeeding ceremonies took place within Ogden Hall, which, with a special speaker's desk constructed on the stage, represented the Senate Chamber, where exercises duplicated those taking place at almost the exact moment in Washington, George W. Lawson, of Columbia, S.C., enacted the part of the retiring Vice President, as he inducted his successor into office and turned over to him the gavel of his position. Harry L. Terry, of Crystal Springs, Miss., represented the incoming Vice-President. Following this the various groups were escorted to the inaugural platform erected for the occasion in front of Ogden Hall, where the new President took the oath of office and delivered his inaugural address. Seated on the platform were the various members of the diplomatic corps in full regalia of their office. Elaborate Inaugural Parade The Inaugural Parade in the afternoon presented to the young women of the campus an opportunity to display their talents in representations on the general theme of "The Contribution of the Negro to the National Welfare" bespeaking for him a deep and lively interest in the Inauguration of the President of the United States." Preceded by the Hampton Institute band and battalion and by the mounted marshals was Cassay M. B. Jermany, of Houston, Texas, acting as grand marshal of the women's division. The school of nursing showed the progress of this field from medieval times to the modern Red Cross nurse. Next in line were the women of the home economics department, who, by means of small models and a large float, showed the progress of Negro homes from emancipation to 1933. The Library School represented ignorance as chained by books and other reading material. An effective display was made by the school of business, which, by means of two floats, contrasted the dirty and ill-kept store of the past with the 'modern, cleanly C.M.A. Store. The school of music emphasized the musical abilities of the Negro from spirituals to grand opera. "Exposition" Closes Day The "Inauguration Day" ceremonies came to a close on Saturday evening with the "Students' Exposition of 1933" held in Ogden Hall. At this time the young men of the campus, through their organization, had an opportunity to display their abilities in the contest on the same general theme used by the young women in the afternoon period. Prizes were awarded to both the young women's and the young men's divisions in the form of gold and silver medals and certificates. Participating in the evening WANTED MALE and FEMALE PART-TIME WORKERS AS SOLICITORS FOR Washington Tribune Report to 920U St. N.W. Between 3 and 5 p.m. part of the exposition were the Olympic Social Club which showed the "Evolution of the American Negro"; the Jun'or Quartette—"The Negro's Contribution in Singing"; the Fidi Amici Club—"Inching Along"; the Society for the Study of Negro History—"From Whence We Came"; the Omicron Social Club—"Contribution of the Negro to the National Defense"; and the Symphonic Orchestra—"The Development of Composers and Performers in Symphonic Music." Considering that about one half of the student body of approximately one thousand and the faculty of several hundred were involved, these duplicate inaugural ceremonies presented an interesting experiment in campus cooperation. Only once before has such a thing been undertaken on a college campus. Final City Series Standing W. L. Pct.

J.—Otto Brigg's Philadelphia Tribune girls made their first appearance here through popular demand, and were greeted with one of the largest crowds ever to witness a game when they easily defeated the American Legion girls by the score of 42 to 21. Juan Gualberto Gomez, Cuban Patriot, Is Dead HAVANA, Cuba—Juan Gualberto Gomez, famed Cuban patriot and idol of Cuban Negroes, died here this week of heart and kidney trouble at the age of 79. He figured prominently in the revolution against Spain in 1895, and after Cuba gained her freedom he was prominent as journalist, orator and parliamentarian. He served in both chambers of the national Congress. Last week Congress voted Gomez a gift of $10,000. Albon Holsey, president of the Colored Merchant' Association of New York City, will address a meeting here next Wednesday night at Metropolitan Baptist Church, in the interest of his association. The association is seeking an entrance into Washington with the view of opening, stores here. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MARCH 10, 1933 MORE SPORTS B. T. WASHINGTON TOURNEY VICTORS Defeats South Hill For Southside Virginia Championship LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.,—Battling desperately on even terms for three full quarters in the finals of the first annual basketball tournament of the Southside Inter-scholastic Athletic Association held at St. Paul Normal and Industrial School Saturday, the Booker T. Washington High of South Boston, Virginia, jumped in the lead in the final period to nose out the Mecklenburg County Training School of South Hill by a score 41-21 and to become proprietors of the St. Paul trophy and champions of Southside Virginia. The Washington High quintet reached the finals in the hard fought games after disposing of Lunenburg County Training School by a 56 to 8 score in the first of the series, and nosing out Halifax Training School in the semi-finals to the tune of 35-22. Victors to Compete The result of the final game, however, is no indication of the type of basketball played. The South Boston aggregation will participate in the basketball tournament at Virginia State College in March, at the expense of the SIAA by virtue of its victory. It was a half pint of greased lightning named Evans that spiked every threatening attempt at scoring made by Washington High in the first three periods. This diminutive 100-pound forward seemed to be all over the court at the same time taking the oval almost at will, and driving down the court at will. Through his action and that of Bowers, South Hill's captain, the half ended 12-11 in favor of South Hill. Tide Turns The tide began to turn against South Hill in the third period when the powerful Washington High of defense broke through to take a small lead, and Thompson, South Hill's brilliant center, and Evans, a guard, fouled out. In the first five minutes of the game the score stood 6-5 in favor of the boys from South Hill who put up one of the best demonstrations of guarding ever seen in these parts, with Thompson, Evans Bowers combination working with deadly effect. Team Given Trophy The lads from South Boston had a Thompson too. This flashy forward broke away in the final period, and together with Brewlove his running mate, ran up 25 points between them to decide the issue. At 9:15 p. m. Principal Russell of St. Paul presented the St. Paul trophy to the captain of the South Boston team. HAMM STARS AS SEASIDERS WIN Hampton Pivot Scores 13 Points in Game Against St. Paul Tigers LAWRENCEVILLE, Va.—The St. Paul Tigers fell victims before a fighting Hampton basketball team here Saturday in one of the fastest games of the season. The final score was 32 to 22. Six minutes after the machinery was set into motion, the score was 3-3. It was the last battle of the year and the scars of previous calamities seemed to take their effect, for speed and deception were not introduced with the opening of the game and those are marked characteristics of stellar major encounters. Hamm High Scorer Hamm of the Hampton Seasiders, was the terror of the game with his contribution of ten points, Hampton led, 19-10, at the ending of the first half. This Hammite, who played so wonderful during the said part of the game, clamped the honors for the high points. The second half offered little to exeute the fans. Martin of St Paul was outstanding for his great offensive work. Captain Red Alston saw the Cutes Carter, who carried headlines of last week's papers with sensational playing go through the game scoreless. ST.

Narrowly missing serious injury, the basketball players were badly shaken up. Johnny Holt was the most seriously injured man in the group, necessitating four stitches in his nose. The accident occurred about ten miles out of Albany as the bus was speeding along toward New York. Tucker, the driver and scorekeeper of the team, received injuries about the head and legs. Yancey narrowly missed death as the car ricceted from a roadside tree against the wall. The bus was wrecked. The team proceeded to New York by train, arriving in time to have the trainer look them over and get them straightened out for the night's game. The doctor said that Holt would be in shape to play in about a week. Knoxville Takes Lead from Moreouse Quint KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Knoxville College led Morehouse in this year's series of games, 3-1, by virtue of the split in the two-game series played on the Knoxville court last Friday and Saturday nights. Morehouse capped the first game by a score of 20-17. Knoxville swept Morehouse away on the following night to the tune of 41-28. In a game filled with thrills Knoxville College defeated the fast Alabama State quintet, 48-43, in the Knoxville gymnasium, on Monday night. An overtime period was necessary to break the 39-all deadlock at the end of the regular period. Death of Harrison Jenlack Declared an Accident Harrison Jenlack, 35, who was found dead on a side track of the Baltimore and Orio Railroad here March 2, came to his death by accident, so a coroner's jury decided Tuesday, following an inquest at the District Morgue. Jenlack's body was found by Jacob Scott late Thursday afternoon near Swift's warehouse, between L and M Streets, Northwest. His head was severed from his body, and his body was otherwise mangled. No one has been found who saw the tragedy. He was formerly employed as assistant cook on the Atlantic Coast Line railroad, but was out of work. His body is unclaimed at the morgue. USED CARS Child Tosed from 2-Story Window of Burning George E. Smith, 3-year-old child, was tossed from a second-story window of his home, 913 Golden Street, Southwest, early Saturday morning, while fire was raging on the first floor of the home. The child was caught by Ralph Gray, a neighbor, and both Gray and the boy fell to the pavement. Thomas Hall and Wille Goings were slightly injured while trying to render assistance, but Mrs. Clara Scott, occupant of the house, escaped injury. The fire is reported to have resulted from the overturning of an oil stove. During an altercation Wednesday at 991 Florida Avenue, Samuel Edwards, 22, of the above address was struck on the head with a brick hurled by Benjamin Glover; also of the same address. Edwards was treated at Emergency Hospital for laceration of the forehead. His condition was not serious.
