Bloody Clothes of Murdered Child Found in Trunk MILLS BROTHER ILL 7 CENTS PER COPY LADIES AND GENTLEMENS: I am offering a last week's copy of the Christian Science Monitor to any actuate student of criminology, who can offer an appropriate means of sparing the ears and nerves of an harassed public, the shock of the raucous voices of certain theatre managers and assistants, every time one is settled to enjoy a movie. Notwithstanding the prevues flashed on the screen, in less time than Freddie French and Dick Thompson can start a conversation about $10,000, the t. m. or one of his boys will bellow forth appallingly, and sneak up behind some unsuspecting verb, get a strangle hold on it, and manhandle the parts of speech with violence and infant to kill. My own suggestion is the public executioner. AN ADVENTURE IN CLAIRVOYANCE When The Tribune steps out of the role of a timorous and ultra-rechned recounter of the inimpidities of current history and dons the mantle of a prophet, it displays more of long ears and hoofs than is customary even for a journal truly remarkable for its gaucher- Last week it announced brazenly that the coming of 22 beer would give the coup de grace to local vendors of gin and gin. Without going to the trouble of consulting my trusty onia board, or my staff of crystal gazers, I there and now inform customers of this chaste column that nothing could be farther from the truth. In the first place, the native of color is not by nature a beer guzzle: The Aframericans simply lacks the gullet of a connoisseur of brews. He may, true enough wash down a meal with a quart of beer, but when he spits on his hands and settles down for earnest drinking, he desires a more potent beverage. The rank and file of sepia drinkers take to gin on this side of the Potomac with the same gusto that the Southern blackamor takes to corn pone for his feasts. More, there is a charm and privacy to the respectable speakeasy that public drinking resorts can never usurp. Still more, there is an element of refined sex association in the speakeasy that made them flourish even under the ancient regime of open and unrestricted bars. No, dear Lou or Nell, do not give up your plans of opening a speak, now that beer is here. If you are a hostess of tact and culture you can serve beer along with your gin and moon. Success awaits you, darlings. Ted Thompson wishes to deny persistent rumors that his absent friend, Charlie Williams, was on the ill-fated Akron. According to Mr. Thompson, the great wind winder is only on a protracted cruise to narts dully known. "The counsellor," says Ted, "is travelling to recover from the effects of a collision with an estate. The force of the impact was so severe that the estate has not been found up to this morning." DAINTY LITTLE CASKETS Anyone interested in the modern trend in caskets can be treated to an eyeful by gazing into the windows of the...Benevolent Society on Tenth and U Streetes. This fashionable display is not cheering in these days of depression. Silks and satins, richly brocaded materials, even caskets with chic little paintings on the inside top cover are displayed, and all the latest 1933 models. In the midst of this gaudiness and swankiness is often seen posing Mortimer Smith, with a hark-from-the-tomb expression on his face. I have not been able to learn whether this concern has had a hit of its books or not. Maid Found in Man's Arm With Bullet Wound in Chest he left before police arrived. The mail was taken to Emergency Hospital. A man named Levin Lua was later arrested by police and is being held for investigation. Washington Tribune Ruby Bates Admits None of Scottsboro Boys Attacked Her MOB THREATENS SCOTTSBORO BOYS AND ATTORNEY Judge Gives Stern Warning; "Shoot to Kill," He Orders MISSING WITNESS TURNS UP: RETRACTS FORMER TESTIMONY DECATUR, Ala. — Ruby Bates, Thursday afternoon, admitted that she was not attacked by any of the boys in the Scottsboro case. The girl, missing since the trial opened two weeks ago, appeared suddenly in court after the defense had rested in the case of Haywood Patterson, one of the nine accused boys. She testified in a previous trial, which resulted in death sentences to eight of the boys, that she had been assaulted, and purported to identify her attackers. She completely repudiated that testimony on the stand Thursday. Miss Bates said that if Victoria Price, the other white woman who testified to being assaulted on a moving freight train near Scottsboro, Ala., in 1931, was assaulted, she knew nothing of it. Her dramatic testimony started the crowded court room. She was called as a defense witness and appeared in custody of a Birmingham church worker. She was originally a state's witness, but had been missing from her home several weeks. DECATUR, Ala.—The mob spirit has become so rampant here that Judge Horton, who is presiding at the trial of Haywood Patterson, one of the Scottsboro boys, has felt obliged to take notice of it. Referring to reports of threats and even plans to attack the rickety old jail where the nine boys are confined and run Samuel S. Leibowitz, their chief counsel, out of town, Judge Horton ordered the National Guardsmen on duty here to shoot at the first sign of trouble and to shoot to kill. The judge's warning came Wednesday at the end of a long statement from the bench in which he referred to the threats that had reached him, and in which he stated To Carry Swimming Pool Fight in Jersey to Higher Courts To Carry Swimming Pool Fight in Jersey to Higher Courts TRENTON, N.J.—Trenton's historic fight against segregation of colored pupils in the swimming pool of Central High School, which was decided in the Negroes' favor by the New Jersey Supreme Court a month ago, reached another step last week when the Trenton Board of Education appealed formally to the Court of Errors and Appeals against the decision. Aaron V. Dawes, counsel for the board, obtained from Justice Danges permission to alter the proceedings to enable the carrying of the case to the Errors Court. GIRL CHARGES SERIOUS CRIME Woman Held Under $3,000 Bond on Charge of Pandering Catherine Coleman, 1200 block of Seventh Street, Northwest, was held for the action of the grand jury under a bond of $3,000 following a preliminary hearing in police court befor Judge Ralph Given, Tuesday, on a charge of pandering. Vernese Jones, 12-year-old girl, of the 2700 block of Olive Street, Georgetown, brought the charge against the woman. The testimony of the girl was heard by Judge Given privately. Only the assistant district attorney, Thomas Beckett, who represented Miss Coleman, were permitted to hear the details. The girl alleged that the older woman made her go out on the street and solicit men for immoral purposes. RICHMOND TO GET NEGRO SCHOOLS PRINCIPALS RICHMOND TO GET NEGRO SCHOOLS PRINCIPALS Will Get Positions Only as Vacancies Occur in White Schools RICHMOND, Va. (CNS)—After a fight of many months the citizens of the city have won a victory in the fight to have Negro principals of the Negro schools of the city. A resolution, passed by te school board, March 24, provides that Negro principals be employed whenever vacancies among principals in the white schools occur, so that the present white principals may retain positions in the system. In commenting on the resolution a leading daily newspaper of the city says: "The greatest stimulus that can be given any man, be he teacher or toiler in the field, is to know that the door of advancement is open to him. "We know the board will hold to the spirit of this decision and will bestir itself to find other positions for these white principals, as soon as practicable, so that the Negro schools can be directed by men of their own race. There are Negroes in the school system quite capable of performing administrative duties. They will act with tact and discretion, and they will be a symbol and an inspiration to the whole body of loyal Negro teachers." The Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. will sponsor a membership campaign from April 23 to May 2, it was announced this week. Captain Eugene Davidson has been chosen to head the effort of the branch to secure 400 new members and $2,000 m cash. At a luncheon meeting Wednesday, at which time Captain Davidson was selected to lead the campaigners, it was decided that the drive will take the form of a western round-up, the divisions to be known as ranches and teams to be known as outfits. The ranch foreman and the outfit leaders are to be chosen within the next week.

She had been sought by the police since the child's body was discovered by James Hardy, 13, 1204 First Street, Southwest, who was playing in the vicinity. Detectives of the homicide squad said the woman confessed to the crime. She was taken to police headquarters and charged with murder. Crying, laughing, screaming and cursing alternately, the woman defied officers. When shown a photograph of her murdered daughter, the woman lambed hysterically. She told officers she took the child to the dump on the night of March 11 and killed the baby with a brick, then threw the body in the sewer. Detective Sergeants J. E. Kane, Jacob Wolf and Joseph Sincavitz were the arresting officers. The grand jury is expected to return an indictment against the woman this week.

Gray was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue, Monday morning. According to Mrs. Ethel Vines, 55 Pierce Street, sister of Gray, Riddles came to her home Friday with her brother, Joseph Gray. The two became engaged in an argument with John. She told the jury that Riddles attempted to get "fresh" with John and began to pat him, and sing "You Can't Tell the Difference After Dark." John is alleged to have become angry when Riddles made endearing remarks to him. Later Riddles and John Gray left the house and went into the street. The two started fighting and Gray stabbed Riddles several times in the chest with a knife. The injured man walked some distance and fell.

Harris was held in connection with the death of Leroy Veney, 57, 116 Virginia Avenue, Southwest, who was stabbed to death during an alleged altercation with Harris, Sunday afternoon, at the Temple Street address. Claimed Self Defense In a statement to Detective Sergeant John W. Wise, of the homicide squad, Harris declared that Veney had attacked him with an axe and had picked up a knife to cut him when he took the knife away from the man and stabbed him in the chest. A long butcher knife was identified by Harris as the weapon used. An autopsy disclosed that the blade had pierced Veney's heart. However, Mr. and Mrs. George Coates, at whose home the fight took place, denied that Veney had the knife and testified that Harris stabbed the older man while the latter was standing in the doorway with his back turned to his assail.

Mrs. Vines said that her mother objected to Riddles coming to her home. She also said that Joseph was forbidden to come to the house because of the company he kept. --- Office: 920 U St. N. W. RADIO STAR IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL WITH PNEUMONIA John Mills, Popular Artist in Serious Condition Following Attack John Mills, of the famous Mills Brothers, radio artists, was stricken with pneumonia this week in Chicago. The famous star is confined in a Chicago hospital and is being attended by two physicians and a nurse. In a telegram to The Tribune Wednesday, hospital authorities stated that the "crisis has not been reached." The quartet was scheduled to go on the air last Thursday and Monday. The program was cut short on Thursday due to conditions in the studio. On Monday the program was cancelled on account of the illness of John. They were not on the air Thursday night of this week. Youngest of Brothers John is next to the youngest and most popular of the brothers. His singing gained him national popularity. All four stars are well known here, having appeared at the Howard Theatre last winter. While here many entertainments and parties were given in their honor. The delightful personality of John and his quiet demeanor gained him a host of fans in the District. All four brothers gained national fame in a short time. They were "found" while singing on the streets of an Ohio city. Coming to New York, their original and odd singing gained instant popularity. Their voices were especially adapted to the radio. After a few appearances before the mike their fan mail began to assume hugh proportions. Best on the Air The Mills Brothers are rated one of the best attractions on the air, and thousands of District fans look eagerly forward to their regular twice-a-week programs. Many have tried to imitate them, and in a recent popularity contest conducted by a well known magazine the brothers were rated among the first five on the air. They are heard over a nation-wide hook-up of the Columbia Broadcasting Company network. The local outlet is Station WJSV. John is the brother with the deep bass voice and plays the guitar.

Hitlersim Hits Negroes in Germany as They are Ordered to Leave CHICAGO—Creighton Thompson, native of this city, and internationally noted musician who has been playing with his orchestra in European capitals, has been ordered to leave the Fatherland at once. In recent years Thompson has been engaged to play in the leading theaters and cafes of Vienna, Austria. The action in ordering the American musician out of Germany is seen as a move on the part of Hitler to include Negroes as well as Jews in his ouster program. CAPITAL EDITION Dr. John R. Hawkins, wealthy and prominent citizen, vice-president of the Industrial Savings Bank and financial secretary of the A.M.E. Church, acting in conjunction with detectives early Sunday morning caused the arrest of Alfred Aelorious Brockenborough, self-styled "master mind" in an alleged extortion plot in which the man sought to extort $4,000 from Dr. Hawkins. On threat of death to himself and family, Dr. Hawkins was told to leave the sum of money on a vacant lot at the corner of Sherman Avenue and Irving Street, Northwest, at 1:20 a.m. Sunday. He went to the designated spot and left a dummy package, and drove around the corner to watch proceedings. Exactly on the dot, a taxicab drove up and Brockenborough got out and surveyed his surroundings. Became Suspicious He evidently became suspicious and drove away, but returned six minutes later. The man walked to the spot where the package was, picked it up and started towards the cab when officers who were in hiding pounced on him with drawn revolvers. Brockenborough did not offer resistance. He was taken to police headquarters where he confessed he had written two letters to Dr Hawkins demanding $4,000. The first letter was received on April 1 and instructed the bank head that another letter would follow within five days with full instructions as to where the money was to be placed. On Friday the second letter was delivered. This Gang Killing Starts Racketeer Battle in New York HARLEM'S NUMBER BARONS AT WAR; WHITE VS. BLACK Recent Murder of Martin Harris was Signal for Hostilities NEW YORK CITY.—Harlem excitement is running high since the gang execution of Martin Harris a few weeks ago. A bitter war has been declared between the Negro and white numbers operators here during the past week. On a tip, believed to have been supplied by Negro rivals, a Dutch Schultz policy clearing house was raided by police officers last week. They arrested 14 of Schultz's employees. It was estimated that about 10,000,000 policy slips and $2.164 in cash were seized. The Negro operators are girding themselves for open battle. It has been learned that colored bankers will make a determined effort to entice all Negro runners and other employees to desert the white bankers and bring their accounts to the colored bankers. James (Sugar Cane) Walker, who was identified as the man who killed Harris, was found to be confined in the Tombs as a parole violator at the time of the murder and could not have committed the crime. Detectives are still searching for the three men who entered the slain bankers' apartment and shot him to death, after which they calmly removed $5,000 from a cash box imbedded in the floor. The raid on the Dutch Schultz clearing house at 550 West 146th Street was one of the biggest hauls in the history of the policy game in Harlem. Clarence Cameron White who has achieved favorable notice from art critics for his opera "Guanga," appeared Wednesday night on the Negro Creative Art program at the Washington Conservatory of Music, Ninth and T Streets, Northwest. Mr. White was the first director of the violin department and vice-president of this institution and has always kept a co-operative and helpful interest in its plans and purposes. He gave an illustrated talk on his opera, the scenes of which are laid in Haiti. Mr. White gave a most instructive talk on the Opera. He gave historic data as to what had been done by the Negro to date in the field of opera writing, and an insight into the correct methods necessary to pursue, in the production of an Opera. When he arrived in Paris, France, where he remained two years studying and preparing this work he found he had many points to learn in the development of European Opera form. The opera "Ouanga" consists of a prologue and three acts; libretto, by John F. Mattheus; music by Clarence Cameron White. The story centers around the great Jean Jacques Dessalines, librator and emperor of Haiti, and the peasants of that day. Mr. White's illustrated talk on his opera was interpreted by Miss Josephine Muse, soprano; Todd Duncan, baritone, of Howard Conservatory; and Miss Camille Nickerson, pianist, whose arrangements of Creole music have already given her a prominent place among the creative artists of the race. In May, another creative artist will be presented by the Conservatory. Edna Guy, the creative dancer of New St. Dennis, a favorite pupil of Ruth St. Dennis. Edna Guy's original dances on many themes and especially the spirituals are attracting great admiration and much praise of her talent. GO BY BUS Save MONEY Quick... Safe!

TO REMAIN UNDER COLORED CONTROL Judge Favors Turning over Business to Dr. Savory's Committee CHICAGO, Ill. (Special)—Judge Ernest E. Evans handed down a decision in the form of a memorandum, Friday, under which the business of the Victory Life Insurance Company will be turned into the hands of a committee representing the policyholders provided certain conditions are complied with. The committee is headed by Dr. P. M. H. Savory, of New York City, and the Rev. Dr. L. R. Williams, of Chicago. Among the conditions in the judge's memorandum are the raising of a certain amount of cash and perhaps the organization of a new company and securing permits to do business in various states. The amount of cash to be raised is not indicated but is seemingly to be determined by consultation with the receivers. Wants Colored to Control The memorandum of the judge expresses full confidence in the ability and integrity of the committee and insists that the company ought to be controlled by colored people for colored people. The other members of the committee besides Dr. Savory and the Rev. Mr. Williams are: Attorney A, L. Williams, Dr. Haley Bell, and John Halloman. They are given two weeks in which to report progress. Dr. Savory, a well-to-do physician of New York City, headed the opposition to Anthony Overton, the founder of the company, when the fight for control was under way two years ago. Overton won out, then, but the failure of the Douglass National Bank, which he controlled also, soon brought the affairs of the insurance company to a crisis. The Rev. Dr. Williams is the head of one of the national Baptist conventions. In the event that satisfactory arrangements are not consummated by the committee, the judge stated that he would consider the proposal of the Supreme Liberty Life Company, of which Harry H. Pace is president. Downingtown Industrial School Miss Gladys East, a senior at the University of Pennsylvania, was a last week-end guest of Miss U. V. Ross of the faculty, and also speaker at the Sunday vesper hour. Miss East, who was born in Africa, proved one of the most interesting and inspiring speakers of the year through her vivid description of African life and customs and her enthusiasm in describing why she is now preparing for medical missionary work in the "Dark Continent." Miss East also sang several numbers in the native tongue. Annual Schoolmen's Week, held last week at the University of Pennsylvania, attracted the principal and several teachers of the Downingtown Industrial School. "To be completely satisfied with self is an unsatisfactory state in which to be." By Wallie Reeves Saturday still remains the feature marketing day in Washington. Seventh Street after 9 a.m., on Saturday becomes a black ghetto from New York Avenue to Florida Avenue and remains in that state of hue until after the gong of midnight. People from all walks of life and from all sections of the city crowd around the O Street Market seeking cheap food and bargains. The scene is similar to bargain day in Bagdad. The merchants and venders get rid of their wares by bellowing and arousing the attention of the passersby with loud shouts. Pigtails, hog maul and the delicacies of house rent parties remain among the treasured foods being sold to many of the purchasers. Pork chops go at 8 and 10 cents a pound while hot dogs sell at 12 and 15. The thousands of people who surround the market all day and half the night leave little behind when closing time comes. Rather than keep meats over 'Sunday the merchants let the stuff go at a song. Another feature of the Saturday marketing day is the last minute hair cut. Barber shops remain crowded until early in the morning with both women, men and children. Then there is also a lucrative Sunday morning business. The tailor also comes in for his bit of the staggering gravy. In other lines, there is also much business from the flowing crowd. The Elite Shop Too The elite do their shopping and marketing on Friday or Saturday morning. The afternoon is spent at the bridge table and the night at cocktail parties. Unlike the masses, the elite must keep their marketing on a high plane. U Street never is in a hurry. The crowds are always of a slim nature except when a show changes at one of the theatres. Many dingy shop windows line this thoroughfare which is the main street of the colored ghetto. The atmosphere of a "hick" town is prevalent throughout the neighborhood. After 11 p.m., this avenue too is "dead." With the exception of the new Masonic Temple and the Pythian Temple, there are no lively spots along the avenue. Saturday to U Street is just like any other day in the week. Other than O Street Market, Washington has no other center on Saturday, where so many colored people rub shoulders together. The Florida Avenue Market and the ones at Fifth and K Streets Northwest, and Twelfth and H Northeast, matter little as the people living in those sections come all the way across town to O Street to get the good food bargains. And so Saturday goes on as the great marketing day in this capital city of 140,000 colored souls. LEROY VENEY BLAIN (Continued from page 1) ant. Both stated that Harris seemed to be under the influence of liquor and cut Veney without provocation. Had Gash on Head They said that Harris walked up behind Heney, reached over his shoulder and stabbed him. Harris displayed a gash on his head which he claimed was inflicted by Veney with an axe. The Coateses declared they had no such weapon in the house. Mrs. Harris, wife of Harris, refused to testify, although she was at the house at the time of the slaying. Officer William A. Fish and William H. Hall, of No. 4 Precinct Station, arrested Harris at 355 C Street, Southwest, the same day. Veney was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by Dr. Bunche, of the hospital staff.

Remains in Maryland's Statutes; Bill to Repeal Killed by 1 Senate Vote ANNAPOLIS, Md. — (CNS)—The effort to repeal Maryland's Jim Crow law was defeated by one vote in the Senate, March 28. Only two speeches were made before the Senators voted, 12 to 11, to reject a favorable report on the measure which had been returned by the Judicial Proceedings Committee. The speakers were Senator Dudley G. Roe (Dem., Queen Anne's) and Senator E. Milton Altfeld (Dem., Fourth Baltimore district), the author of the bill. A strong fight was made by many colored organizations aided by prominent whites. Demonstrations before the capitol building resulted in the arrest and jailing of several persons, colored and white; some of the cases are still pending. One group was beaten up by Annapolis police. This is the third time that successive legislative sessions have rejected the proposal to repeal. Retired Maryland Teacher Dies Ellen Maria Miller, one of Maryland's oldest teachers, and the second colored teacher to be placed on the retired list, died Sunday, March 26, at the residence of her daughter, Miss Emma J.

CHARLES RAWLINS FATALLY SHOT AT BIRTHDAY PARTY "Kitten" Branson Held for Grand Jury Action Following Killing Charles (Devil) Rawlins, 26, 1238 Union Street, Southwest, was shot and fatally wounded. Wednesday night, during a birthday party at 1242 Union Street, Southwest, during an alleged fight with Raymond (Kitten) Branson, 33, 346 K Street, Southwest. Branson was held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue Friday morning. He was represented by Attorney Annond Scott. The wounded man was taken to Emergency Hospital in a passing taxicab where he was pronounced dead. Death was caused by a bullet wound in the chest injury the heart, Dr. Christopher J. Murphy, deputy coroner, said. Struck Girl About fifteen witnesses were interrogated by Sergeant John C. Dalglish, of the homicide squad, who investigated the shooting. Although Branson did not testify at the hearing he gave police a statement in which he declared he shot Rawlins after the latter had fired two shots at him. The testimony of Branson was corroborated by others who were attending the party. Fred Peters, who lives at the house where the shooting took place, said Rawlins came to the house early in the evening and started a fight with Margery Liggins, of the 400 block of Clark Court, Southwest. Peters said Miss Liggins was struck by the man and when he and several others took the girl's part Rawlins turned on them. Miss Liggins said she did not know why the man struck her the first blow, but he slapped her again when she said something "smart" to him. Got Pistol From Tate Other men at the house came to the aid of the girl and persuaded Rawlins to leave. However, he returned a short time later and started an argument with Branson. During a scuffle Rawlings was put out of the house by several of the men guests. He left after threatening to get Branson. Rawlins is alleged to have gone to the home of Porter Tate, 462½ Clark Court, where he took a revolver belonging to Tate and returned to the party about midnight. He forced his way into the house over the protests of Mary Taylor, occupant, and told her he was going to kill Branson, who had sought refuge in an upstairs room. Several of the members of the party again persuaded Rawlins to leave. He departed only after he had allegedly fired two shots, one in the floor and one in the ceiling of the house. In his statement to police Branson said after the man left he raised a window in the room in which he was upstairs. When Rawlins saw him at the opening the latter is alleged to have fired. Branson said he shot twice from the window. Rawlins ran a short distance and fell. Branson remained in the room until police came on the scene, when he surrendered and was taken to No. 4 Precinct. Tate told the coroner's jury that he knew both men, but was in bed asleep and did not know when Rawlins came to his house and took his revolver. However, he missed it after the shooting. John Roundtree, who lives with Tate, stated that he saw Rawlins come into the house shortly before midnight and go to Tate's room. Dean of Messengers Retires J. Lewis Moore, of 1321 T Street, Northwest, dean of the messengers at the District Building, was retired last Friday after completing fifty-one years in Government service. Moore, who is now 70 years of age, was attached to the office of Major John C. Gotwals, engineer commissioner. Beginning his career as a messenger under Garrett F. Lydecker. Moore has seen seventeen engineer commissioners come and go and Gotwals is the eighteenth. All employees including Major Gotwals, thanked and congratulated Moore upon his retirement. His position will not be refilled because of the District economy program.

All Over Town PEOPLES DRUG STORES To Serve You Better Grave menace to the efficiency of the public schools is feared if the board of education is called upon to run the system under rhe 1924 estimates submitted by Budget Director Douglas as they are now before the House. The school authorities have not determined just what steps or means they will adopt to keep within the budget, but the plans will be submitted to Major Daniel Donovan. District auditor, for consideration. Among the proposals being discussed are: 1. Shorten the school year by ten days. 2. Move the school year backward half a month in order to save a full month's pay of the teachers. 3. Retire all teachers who have reached the age of 62 and whose ratings for efficiency are low. 4. Eliminate instruction of children under 6 years of age, thus closing out virtually all the kindergartens. 5. Transfer special teachers to Ten Payments class room work. Under the existing set-up, the teachers receive their salary in 10 monthly payments. Hence, although school opens about the middle, or even after the middle of September, the teachers are paid for trie entire month. Similarly, while school closes the middle of June, the teachers receive the full pay for that month. If, then, the opening of schools next September is delayed from September 18—the normal opening day—to October 1, it is the thought of the proponents of this scheme that a full month's salary of the teachers might be "saved." By closing the school on the regular date in June, the children would lose 10 school days in September and the teachers would lose a full month's pay. Another method of altering the school year would be to open classes October 1 and extend the year from the middle of June to the last Friday in June. This plan would give the school children practically the same number of actual school days and the same amount of instruction as a normal year, but it would place the entire burden of solving the budget shortage problem on the teachers. Either of these plans, however, it is estimated tentatively, would "over-solve" the problem, because the amount of money to be saved would be less than a full month's teachers pay roll. The eRtirement Plan The proposal to retire all 62-year-old teachers whose ratings are not high would take advantage of the retirement law, which makes employees eligible for retirement for cause at that age. An employee who reaches 62 may ask for retirement or he may be retired by his administrative officers. This plan entails study of all ratings of teachers who have reached 62 years of age. The "saving" under this plan would be the difference between the maximum salary which length of service has merited for the retiring teacher, and the minimum salary which newcomers to the service would receive. The full extent of this plan's effect, however, still is an uncertain quantity since the number of persons affected by it is not yet known. Kindergarten at Stake Should children of 5 years of age be denied entrance in the schools, just as children under 5 who formerly attended the several "preschool kindergarten" were banned by action of Congress two years ago, practically every kindergarten class in the city would close. Those teachers, then would be available for any vacancies in the grades, or, presumably, would be dropped from the service. Details of this plan have not been disclosed. There still are in the school sys- tem a number of "special teachers." Some of these now do supervisory work, while others teach special subjects. A proposal is under consideration to close out these positions and transfer as many of the present incumbents as possible to actual class room jobs. In Baltimore and in many other cities there have been drastic cuts in the personnel and also in the salaries. Most of the teachers of special subjects or directing activities not strictly educational have been eliminated in Baltimore or will be at the end of the present school term. This elimination applies to clerks, probation officers, and other services outside of class rooms proper. In addition, the teachers, along with all other city employees, from mayor down, accepted a "voluntary" ten per cent cut for the fiscal year with prospects of a further cut next year, compulsory, if necessary. 91-YEAR-OLD VET OF CIVIL WAR IN ARMY DAY PARADE 91-YEAR-OLD VET OF CIVIL WAR IN ARMY DAY PARADE High School Cadets Washed Out by Rain in Annual Event The Ninth Brigade High School cadets were washed out by rain in the Army Day parade, Thursday, so the boys did not get the opportunity to march in the annual classic. However, 91-year-old Charles Freeman, civil war veteran, occupied the center of attraction as he rode in the fourth division in a big car. Mr. Freeman enlisted in the Union Army at the age of 18 at Boston and served in the Fifth Massachusetts Cavalry during the entire war, until he was discharged in the year of 1866. He is one of the three members of the O. P. Martin Post, No. 4, that is left. He has never missed being in an inaugural or any parade of importance since the inauguration of President Lincoln. He will be 91 years of age on his next birthday and is well and hearty. He has one son, William Freeman, who saw service in the late World War. Mr. Freeman lives with his son at 321 G Street, Southwest, where he has resided for 40 years. Colored organizations in the parade were the Tenth Cavalry and the 372nd Infantry of the District National Guard. Embezzler of Negro School Funds Fights Five-Year Sentence JACKSON, Miss. (CNS)—Bura Hilbun, the former State official in the Bilbo cabinet under five year sentence for irregularities in the handling of Negro school funds, has been granted an extension of time by the Mississippi Supreme Court for filing an appeal. Hilbun was given until April 24 to file his appeal from a Hinds County circuit court conviction, which is based on incompetency of a juror. Hilbun was found guilty of irregularities in connection with $50,000 of Rosenwald Foundation funds allotted to the State for Negro education. At the time, he was serving as supervisor of Negro education in the State department of education. "Soul searching moments are of greater value than hours spent in seeking pleasure."

Cihcago, New York, Los Angeles APRIL 7, 19338 pees ee Negro Health Apropos of the celebration of Negro Health Week, during this week, Dr. Alger- non B. Jackson, of the faculty of Howard University, sends us a short release headed “An Encouraging Health Record,” which he closes with the following significant state- ment: “This goes a long way to prove that health is never so much a matter of race as it is ‘a question of proper environment, guid- ance, treatment and care.” ‘The phrase “Negro Health” as commonly used and as commonly understood is both a misnomer and a fallacy, As used in the expression “Negro Health Week,” it may be accepted as a shortened form of the ex- pression, “A Week Devoted to Promoting Health Among Negroes.” Like other expressions which are found in the vernacular “Negro Health” is not misleading nor misunderstood by those who are informed as to the facts and can com- prehend them, For example, the expres- sion “sunrise” neither causes nor indicates any misapprehension in the minds of those who know the facts as to the appearance ‘of the sun over the eastern horizon. How- ‘ever, it preserves in our idiom the once uni- versally accepted belief that the sun ac- tually rises, ‘Nevertheless the term “Negro Health” is unscientific and should be used guardedly. ‘As commonly used and applied it implies that, independent of, or in addition to, the factors which condition or influence health, as enumerated by Dr. Jackson, the matter ‘of race or color has significance. And, we will be told, there is a higher death rate and a greater incidence of sick- ness-among Negroes than among whites. There are really; and the same statistics would almost certainly show the same or even greater differences between Methodists and Episcopalians and between Italian sub- way laborers and Wall Street brokers, if the figures were classified along such lines. Yet the words used to denote the classifi- cations—Methodists and Episcopalians, Ital- ian and Wall Street—would have no health significance whatever, although laborer and broker would, as would the relative pre- ponderence of the really significant factors among the bulk of the people of the two religious denominations named, ‘The fact is, the only demonstrable factors bearing on health are those enumerated by Dr. Jackson which may be summed up as living conditions. All classifications based on any other supposed factors are unscien- ‘diffe and fanciful. Most Outstanding Now coma the students in Morehouse College, Atlanta, and by ballot adjudge Dr. W. E, B. DuBois to be the “most out- standing” Negro in the United States. Votes of this sort fall in the category of invidious or odious comparisons—if any- thing does. They remind one of the debates swe used to have in our village literary on such subjects as: “Which is More Destruc- tive, Fire or Water?” or “Who Was the Greater Writer, Milton or Shakespeare?” Perhaps most of us will agree that in certain respects Dr. DuBois is, or at least has been, our most outstanding personage. Yet in other lines there are persons who are at least as outstanding, relatively. Only ‘two or three examples need be mentioned— Roland Hayes, in song, Tolan in speed, Tanner in art, and so on. What boots it to attempt to evaluate the relative greatness of outstanding accomp- lishments in these matters? ‘The truth is these selections serve no pur- pose so well as to indicate the shallowness of the minds of those who promote the so-called contests. ——e— Dr. Flexner Again As will be seen from an editorial article reprinted in another column, the New York “Age is inclined to renege on its praise of the Charter Day message to the alumni of Howard University by Dr. Alexander Flex- ner, chairman of the board of trustees, The Age is justly concerned over the ‘vagueness, even suggestiveness, of some of his utterances, fearing they hide a mistaken ‘or sinister purpose. Our contemporary’s misgiving as to the seeming stress laid on mere degrees has full justification in what has been going on at Howard in recent years. Not that the faculty may not have its fossils and has-beens, but that there seems to be a tendency at Howard as indeed in most colleges and even the public schools to [Epivoray & [IA CAZINE rate a degree not merely as prima facie but as conclusive evidence of competence and correspondingly the lack of such distinc- tions as definite proof of unfitness. Our race, least of all, can afford to foster such delusions. 3 ‘The Tribune has already called attention to the vagueness of some of Dr. Flexner’s statements, He is tolerably explicit, though, in some of his blustering promises such as: “A debt has been very unwisely accu- mulated. I promise, as long as I am chair- man, that the institution shall live within its income.” But to this he adds: “I pro- pose that its debts shall be paid as quickly as possible,” which of course the other dumb trustees were not intending to do, However, the good doctor has not only “proposals,” he has determinations—cock- sureness, He says: “The university demands of its trustees, of its officers, of its faculty, of its students, of its alumni, absolutely pure devotion. The board of trustees is taking steps to make sure the university is receiving such de- votion.” Pretty big order, but he'll fill it; for, says the: “Upon no other terms would I consent to continue in the service of the univer- sity.” So if any trustee, officer, member of a faculty, student or ex-student shows any- thing less than absolutely pure devotion (according, presumably, to the good doc- tor’s standard) he'll be required to make that devotion a, p. or the university will lose ‘the chairman's’ services immediately. But besides the chairman's big talk there was some queer talk, For example, he says, referring to the choice of a member of the faculty: “I have absolutely refused to ask wheth- er a person is colored or white.” Yet he says in a preceding sentence: “When two persons of equal ability are available—a col- ‘ored man and a white man—we choose the colored man,” which implies that he éan dis- tinguish between white and colored without asking. All of which parallels the saying of Ar- temus Ward (was it not?) who when ques- tioned as to his race preferences said: “I have no race preferences. As between a colored man and white one, I think just as much of one as of the other—and a little more.” Measure of Fitness From the New York Age * In last week’s issue of the New York Age the message of Dr. Abraham Flexner, chair- man of the board of trustees of Howard University, to the New York alumni was editorially applauded, particularly the senti- ments expressed on the standards of excel- lence. Howeyer, there are those who place a different interpretation from us on some of the statements made and assume more of a critical than a laudatory attitude, Dr, Flexner said when two persons of equal ability, one white and the other col- ored, dre under consideration for a profes- sorship at Howard, he favors the selection of a colored man,’ax it is of infinte im- portance that colored men, as far as pos- sible, should bear the responsibility of con- ducting higher institutions, On the other hand, between a second rate colored man and a first rate white man, preference should be given the white man. It is the thought contained in the last sentence relative to giving preference to a first rate white man over a second rate col- ored man that has occasioned adverse com- ment and aroused fears lest in the future the faculty of Howard University will be- come preponderantly white. For the per- tinent question is asked: “By what yardstick is fitness to be measured?” If the chief requisite to teach at Howard is to he the possession of a Ph.D. degree then we readily can understand the mis- givings of those voicing alarm. Too often, nowadays, too much emphasis is placed on degrees. ‘The assumption seems to be that the more letters one can put behind his name the more efficient and capable an in- structor he is, But to excel in scholarship as a student does not necessarily prove one’s fitness to excel as a teacher in a classroom, In fairly and accurately evaluating one’s fitness to teach at Howard University, take the case of Prof. Kelly Miller, one of the country’s recognized leaders in education. Surely, no one of sound, impartial judg- ment, by the widest stretch of the imagina- tion, would envisage Prof, Kelly Miller as a “second rate colored man’ because he is not Toaded down with degrees. In view of his experience perhaps there is good reason to ask: “In the future selection of pro- fessors at Howard University, by what yardstick is fitness to be measured?” Scottsboro ‘The Dally News of our city is publuhing a series of "Word Pictares” of the Scottsboro Toa ‘A few extracts from one article are reprinted herewith. By MARY HEATON VORSE More than the “Scottsboro boys” are on trial in the courtroom in Decatur. The defense has attacked the jury system of the South.

Can Afford to Offend the Moral Soave of the World The Germans, the Japanese, and even ‘the People of Alabama, Must Give Heed to the United Protest of Civilization. The New York Times in a leading editorial of last Sunday’s issue pointed out the practical effect of the universal protestation against Hitler’s persecution of the German Jews. This protest comes first from the Jews who bear the heavy brunt of persecution, and is backed up and reenforced by the outraged moral sense of mankind. He who feels the wound must first utter the groan. The outside world hears the groan and condemns the evil doer. It is not fair to the evil doer to receive and accept his evil deeds without murmur or com- plaint. Such passivity would but justify and harden him in his wicked ways. Hitler and his ruthless regime have already taken heed of world opinion and agreed to soften the severity of their persecution by reason thereof, GERMANY ENJOYS NO is MONOPOLY OF PERSECUTION Germany by no means enjoys a monopoly of the mistreatment, of minority groups to the extent as to excite world-wide condemnation. The atrocities of the cruel Turks brought down upon their heads the protestation of the Chris- ‘tian world. Moral outlawry is a stigma which no nation, however cruel and bloodthirsty, can long withstand, ‘The Japanese, drunk with taste of power over the feebler Chinese folk, seem bent on repudiating their self-imposed international ob- ligations which would bring down on their heads the united moral protest of every civi- lize nation on the:face of the earth, It may be safely assumed that these cunning Yankees of the Orient will give salutary heed to the moral remonstrance of their fellow nations. ‘THERE IS A GOD OF RIGHTEOUSNESS _ According to the Hebrew Scriptures there is a God of righteousness who sitteth in the heavens as monitor over the conscience and conduct of men and nations, The League of Nations gives this spiritual concept political embodiment, There is, after all, a law of na- tions which no member of the family dares violate without ineurring their displeasure and being exeluded from the ennobling bond of their fellowship. Even if we cannot astronomically-locate its placement in the universe there nevertheless exists in the heart and conscience of mankind a regulative principle of right and justice, The final appeal of all aggrieved groups and out- raged individuals is to this higher court of last resort, GEORGE BERNARD SHAW STIGMATIZED THE NATION Our own nation has by no means escaped the condemnation of this world court for its deeds of commission and of omission against the defenseless and helpless element of the na- tional population. George Bernard Shaw, who is now sojourning among us, has stained our good name by a stigma which it will require a generation to outlive, Up to now he has refused to visit America on the ground that he feared he might be lynched. ‘The ‘atrocious practice of lynching has stained the fair name of the land of the free and tite home of the brave as the “damned spot” disfigured the lily white hantl of Lady Macbeth. A good name is still rather to be chosen than great riches, THE SCOTTSBORO CASE SHOCKED THE WORLD ‘The fate of nine black boys now hangs in the balance between time and eternity by reason ‘of alleged atrocious crime. ‘They have already ‘been tried and condemned by a court, intimi- ‘dated by a bloodthirsty mob which would brook no verdict save death. The moral sense of the world revolted at the verdict. World-wide agitation has secured them a new trial, where it is hoped, they will be afforded a tranquil trial free from blood- thirsty coercion. The conscience of the world will no longer stand for wholesale judicial murder, It was universally felt that these boys were about to be dispatched into eternity, ‘not on account of their crime but on account ‘of their color, Human nature rose up in revolt. The con- ‘science of the nation and of the world asserted itself, ‘The Jew in Germany and the Negro in Geor- gia, along with the despised and rejected of men over the face of the earth will become the Beneficiaries of this overruling. moral princ- , ple. the community ate filing before the judge, being questioned as to-their fitness for jury duty and asked whether they have ever heen called for such duty. ‘There are doc- tors, ministers, professors, business men, Almost all have college degrees, Some more than one, They are grave men, of substance, and of course not one has ever been called to jury duty. All say they would be glad to serve. One of the most significant things of this trial is the rallying to the defense of the accused Negroes of other educated and well to do colored people. A company of 25 Ne- groes has come voluntarily from Scottsboro to testify on this jury question. They have come in many instances voluntarily, with- out subpenaes. ‘The first stage of the trial is over. ‘The jury is impaneled. Leibowitz has challenged the white supremacy of the courts. He has laid the foundation for an appeal.

Every once in a while a bit of encouragement ap- pears upon the horizon to encour- age us. ‘The most recent report of the Surgeon General of the U.S. Army among other interesting facts deals with the question of venereal diseases among the soldiers, white and colored. Amon,: the white en- listed men in the United States the rate for venereal disease was 49.9. ‘The colored enlisted men have a rate cf 49.7. ‘True there is not much differ- ence between 49.9 .nd 49.7, but in view of past experiences and the records for venereal diseases a- mong Negroes, we regard this showing as quite a victory, This is fas tort sine during the past ten ears that the rate for colored men has been lower than that for white men. Army discipline, advice, care, treatment and preventive mea- sures make the opportunity for hazardous. sickness just about equal between tho races, This goes a long way to prove that health is never so much a matter of race as it is a question of proper environment, guidance, treatment and care.

The book, in fact, provides complete _ back- ground for an understanding of the issues in the Scottsboro case. For it is a literal compendium of facts on labor and racial conditions, espe- cially in the South. It deals not only with conviet labor proper, but with peonage in all its forms, with vagrancy laws, chaingangs, third degrees, rock piles, torture cham- bers, and the special bondage of the Negro peor*: in the Black Belt. It combines factual exaetness and documentation with the’ slashing conviction of a keen reporter who knows first hand the conditions he so, forcefully describes. Wilson tells how white and black ‘workers have fought together ‘against the sharecroppers’ slavery, as well as in unions and strikes against convict labor. He de- Seribes the Camp Hill’ affair and the union program of the share- croppers who were set upon by the landlord’s gang at Notasulga, Ala- bama, He shows also how the inhabi- tants of the jails and chain gangs of “free” America are mostly work- ers—thousands of them Negro toil- ers, forced by economic pressure to commit petty “crimes against property,” and then railroaded to long sentences for stealing a ham or a pound of butter or a chicken.

Here is a wonderful opportunity for some enterprising and forward- looking pastor to accomplish some real missionary work. |The most optimistic preacher of the gospel cannot dispute that pres- ent day youth is gradually stray- ing away from the modern church; he is given very little opportunity to express himself; he is assigned very few tasks in the organization of the church and is otherwise given but little incentive to “car- Fy on” in the name of Christianity. I have informally discussed this “Youth Sunday” project with a few of our more liberal minded ministers, and they have all ex- pressed themselves favorably to- wards the movement. We have in our midst any number of talented and capable young people who could proficiently eonduct pro-_ grams in the various churches of onr community, I hope that the preachers will cocsperais in this movement by ting their ions to ALVIN A.

NEW YORK CITY—A call has been issued for a nation-wide conference on Negro student problems at Columbia University, April 15 to 17; by a committee of fifty-four prominent Negro and white educators and students. Members of the committee formulating plans for the conference include: Franz Boas, professor of anthropology, Columbia University; George S. Counts, professor of education, Teachers' College, Columbia University; Roger N. Baldwin, director of the American Civil Liberties Union; Alain Locke, professor of philosophy, Howard University; E. Franklin Frazier, professor of social science, Fisk University; Contee Cullen, poet; and Reinhold Niebuhr, professor of Christian ethics, Union Theological Seminary. The agenda of the conference lists the following problems: 1. The future of the Negro student, as related to that of the white student. 2. Effects of present retrenchment policies on students of both races. 3. Discrimination against Negroes in "mixed colleges." 4. Legal sanctions behind the dual system of education in the South. Juvenile Poets to be Awarded Cash Prize NEW YORK—The James Weddon Johnson Literary Guild has announced its second annual, nation-wide poetry contest with fifty dollars in cash awards to stimulate interest and to encourage writing of poetry among Negro children. The contest opened March 1, and closes June 30. All persons under eighteen years of age may enter the contest. In submitting manuscripts include, name address, age, school, grade. Poems must be original which heretofore have not been published. The Guild reserves all rights to material submitted. Address all manuscripts to Miss Roberta Bosey', 488 St. Nicholas Avenue, New York, N.Y. The idea behind this effort to foster and develop the literary attributes of the child with poetical tendencies was born one Sunday morning in 1931 in New York when Miss Bosley was presiding over a group of children in a story telling hour in her home. It then occurred to Miss Bosley that writing poetry might prove to be a welcome diversion. The children responded enthusiastically to the suggestion and, after some concentration, a few rather interesting bits of poetry were produced. The experiment was tried from time to time by Miss Bosley with different groups of children. The results were so encouraging that she decided to try to do something to encourage the writing of poetry by Negro children in other places. The James Weldon Johnson Literary Guild was organized to promote an annual nation-wide poetry contest. The guild has twenty members and the membership roll resembles a list of who's who in Eastern literary and artistic circles among Negro women. Miss Bosley is president of the Guild. Zora Neal Huston, well known in Washington several years ago while attending Howard University is one of the guild members. 12 Time SPECIALS! day and Tomorrow Only ROSES Everblooming Genuine Field Grown ...

Hueston, national commissioner of education for the Elks, announces Sunday, April 9, as "Educational Day" for the Elks all over this country. He also stated that this will be the initiative in launching a "Million Dollar Drive" for his department. "The eight years that we have conducted this department," said Judge Hueston, "convinces me that we are doing a great good and inspires me to greater effort. I want to raise a million dollars for this work." Have Used $140,000 The Elks under J. Finley Wilson as the grand exalted ruler, started their educational department at the national meeting of the lodge in Richmond, Va., in 1825. The grand lodge assessed a per capita tax of twenty cents for education, and since then the returns have ranged from $9,000 to $20,000 per year. A total of $140,000 has been used in conducting contests and awarding scholarships; 114 students have been helped through scholarships and loans. Oractorical Contests to Be Held The United States is divided into six regional districts, each of which will stage an oratorial contest. These contests begin in the local high schools of each district, leading up to a state contest, and state winners make up the regional contestants. The winners of the six regional contests will meet at the grand lodge in Indianapolis, Ind. in August, and appear in the national contest. The winners of the state contests receive one hundred dollars cash and expenses to the regional contest. The regional winners receive a scholarship for $1,000 and their expenses to the national contest. The national winner receives $500 in cash. The orations are based on some phase of the Constitution of the United States as it affects the Negro. In issuing his call for these contests, Mr. Hueston cautioned speakers with reference to the "new deal" saying: "Every American citizen must stand solidly behind the President in all of the measures which he at this time offers for stabilization of the country. Irrespective of race, creed or color, we must be event-tempered in expression and patriotic in support of our Government and the officers selected to administer public affairs. "Every Negro in America, irrespective of party politics, should stand behind the President, and let it be known that he is doing so. As a symbol of this patriotic attitude, we call upon all members of the fraternity, especially those engaged in the work of education, and in our oratorial contests, to wear upon his person a small American Flag."

Johnson on Training the Child Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., discussed "The Function of the Father and Mother in the Training of the Child" before the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School Parent-Teacher Association on last Thursday night. Mr. Johnson urged the parents to educate themselves with the problems concerning the children coming up in the schools today. Following his address the association adopted the plan of adult education and pledged to push forward the campaign of further understanding of the child and its problems. This address is one of a series of lectures scheduled as an outgrowth of the social-civic activities of a committee of the College Alumnae Club. The matter of relief for needy families and children was discussed by members of the association and it was pointed out that the parent body had aided several in the immediate community. The body was also urged to adopt the plan of scholarship relief in order to help needy school children from any section of the city. Remarks were given by Walker Savoy, principal of the school and Dr. George Bullock, president of the parent-teacher association. Asst. Supt. Savoy Speaks on Child Life The second of a series of lectures to be divided between the Birney and Garfield schools, was delivered last week at the Garfield School to an interested and enthusiastic audience. A. K. Savoy, assistant superintendent of public schools, was the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Savoy's subject was "Specific Functions of the Father and Mother in Child Training." He outlined the various steps in the life of the child, the social and other problems ever present, and outlined a general plan having for its purpose a better understanding and a closer relationship between parent and child. These lectures, dealing with child life, are sponsored by the College Alumni Club of the District of Columbia in co-operation with the Federation of Parent-Teacher Associations. The program was arranged through the combined efforts of Miss E. P. Simmons, principal of the Garfield School and W. P. Taylor, president of the Garfield Home and School Association, in cooperation with John Syphax, principal of the Birney School and Miss E. V. Smith, principal of the Birney Parent-Teacher Association. Musical numbers were rendered by Miss Ruth Ellis, accompanied by Edward Syphax, pianist, with the invocation by the Rev.

FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933 Pure Fo Prunes as a Most Important Factor in One's Diet It is quite surprising how many real nice dishes can be made from the, seemingly insignificant, prune as some of us are wont to think. To my mind, if the prune is given a little thought and is planned for by the cook we will derive a great benefit as well as enjoyment. A Prunes are very high in their vitamin A value, which means they are important fac Mrs. Frazer tows in building resistance to infection. They also promote growth. This particular feature should interest mothers. Prunes also contain iron, calcium, phosphorus, copper and other minerals of vital importance to growing children. Just try some of the following recipes and you doubtless will be delighted with them. 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons melted shortening 1 cup milk 2½ cups flour 4 tablespoons baking powder ½ teaspoon salt Boil prunes in water to cover ten minutes, drain, remove pits, cut prunes into pieces. Beat egg, add sugar, shortening, milk, and when well mixed combine with flour sifted with baking powder and salt. Add prunes and beat just enough to mix. Pour into greased muffin pans and bake about 5 minutes in a hot oven (425° F.). BAKED PRUNE WHIP 2 cups cooked prunes 1 teaspoon grated lemon peel 2 teaspoons lemon juice 4 tablespoons powdered sugar 4 egg whites Pit prunes and beat to a pulp. Add lemon peel and juice 2 tablespoons sugar and blend well. Beat whites of eggs until stiff, add 2 tablespoons powdered sugar and continue beating until stiff. Whip prune mixture by spoonfuls into egg whites. Pile lightly in pudding dish and bake in a moderate oven (350° F.) for 20 minutes. 4 8-inch sticks cinnamon Wash prunes and stick two cloves into each. Combine vinegar with water, add sugar, cinnamon, and when mixture boils add prunes and continue boiling about 1 hour. These are ready for use when cold. BACON PRUNE SANDWICH 1 cup cooked prunes 8 slices bacon 2 tablespoons chopped sour pickles 2 teaspoons prepared mustard 2 tablespoons mayonnaise Pit prunes and cut in pieces. Cut bacon in small pieces and fry until crisp. Drain from grease. Combine bacon with prunes, add pickle, mustard, mayonnaise, and mix thoroughly. Spread between buttered slices of bread, adding lettuce to each sandwich. A thin slice of tomato may be added. **PRUNE SALAD** 24 cooked prunes % cup grated raw carrot % cup shredded pineapple % cup shredded coconut % teaspoon salt Lettuce Mayonnaise Remove pits from prunes. Mix carrots lightly with pineapple, coconut, and salt. Stuff the prunes with liberal amount, but do not pack the filling. Leave carrots fluffy. Arrange prunes on lettuce allowing four prunes to a serving, and garnish with mayonnaise. 5 tablespoons orange juice ½ teaspoon grated orange rind Blend together well and use a filling for pitted dates. Spread bread with Schindler peanut butter, cover with slices of banana then add the second slice of buttered bread. Combine Schindler's peanut butter with stewed or steamed prunes. Use for a sandwich spread. Cluck cluck Mrs. Indig: "My Mamie, she ain't cashling at Blotz's Meat Market no more." Mrs. Nation: "Why not?" Mrs. Indig: "Because last week one afternoon the boss has the nerve to ask her to lay some eggs in the window, and if I do say it myself, my Mamie has always been a perfect lady." Home-Cooked One of the world's most pitiful objects is the bride who planned to surprise her husband with a wonderful home-cooked meal and then found that all the delicatessen shops were closed. Foods Of all the dishes prepared from oysters, fried oysters undoubtedly find favor with the greatest number of persons. However, unless care is taken in frying the oysters, they are likely to be somewhat indigestible. Deep fat should be used for this purpose, and it should be hot enough to brown a 1-inch cube of bread a golden brown in 40 seconds. Fried Oysters 24 large oysters 1 egg ¼ cup milk Fine cracker crumbs Salt Pennér Thoroughly dry the oysters by laying them on one end of a soft cloth and patting them with the other. Beat the egg and add the milk to it. Drop the oysters into the cracker crumbs, then into the egg and milk mixture and again in the crumbs. Fry in deep fat until brown. Remove from the fat. Drain, sprinkle with seasoning and serve. Clean the oysters and cut each into four or five pieces. Make a one-egg muffin batter and to it add the cut oysters. Drop the mixture by spoonful into deep fat and fry until brown. Remove from the fat, drain and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve with a desired sauce. 1 cup medium white sauce Salt and pepper Baking powder biscuit dough Cut each of the oysters into three or four pieces, and place them in a greased baking dish. Pour over them the hot white sauce and the juice from the oysters. Season with salt and pepper. Over the top, place a layer of the biscuit dough rolled about one-quarter inch thick. Set in a hot oven and bake until the crust is brown. Over the Riv THOMPSON BROS. Anacostia, D. C.

Fasten the bacon where the edges meet by running a toothpick through at this point. Place in a broiler and broil on one side until brown, then turn them and broil until the other side is brown. Serve hot. Butterscotch Pie 1 cup brown sugar 5 tablespoons flour Few grains salt 1½ cups milk 2 egg yolks 2 tablespoons butter ½ cup sugar 2 egg whites Mix brown sugar, flour and salt together. Add milk gradually and mix to a smooth consistency. Add remaining milk and beaten egg yolks. Cook over hot water until thick. Add butter and mix well. Pour into a baked pie shell. Make a meringue by adding the 1/2 cup sugar slowly to the stiffly-beaten egg whites, beating constantly. Bake in a moderate oven (325° F.) 15 minutes. 1 cup pecan or walnuts, as preferred 2 tablespoons milk Cook the sugar and coffee to the soft ball, test in cold water, then add the butter and milk, let them melt over hot water, then let come to the boil. Cool, then add the vanilla and the nuts chopped. Beat creamy and pour on a buttered dish. When cold, mark off in squares. This is a delicious fudge—is a nice change from chocolate in warm weather. To keep a supply of brown flour for gravies, place about two cups of flour on a flat pan in the oven while roasting meat or baking. When thoroughly browned, put it in a jar in pantry. To keep flowers fresh, put a piece of camphor or charcoal in waters. Flowers will keep for a week or more treated in this way. R NORGE efrigerator NOW!

SCOTT PLEADS FOR NEW DEAL FOR NEGRO RICHMOND, Va.—Armond Scott, member of the District of Columbia bar, delivered the keynote address here Tuesday night during the Emancipation Week program sponsored by a committee of one hundred prominent Richmond citi- 7608 Attorney Scott in his address pleaded for a new deal for the Negro. He also flayed so-called leaders of the Negro race who are willing to "sell their birthright for a mess of pottage." The week of April 3 to 9 was designated as Emancipation Week during which time a city-wide campaign was conducted to abolish Jim crow cars and other forms of segregation in the city. IF YOUR BOY WANTS NICE, CLEAN PROFITABLE WORK. HAVE HIM SELL THE TRIBUNE TEACHERS DISCUSS LIVING STANDARDS AT ANNUAL MEET RaceRelations Discussed by Miss Selma Borchardt; Labor by McGrady A legislative program in the interest of maintaining standards of living and work of teachers was the subject of discussion at the annual dinner of the Teachers' Union, held in the cafeteria of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., Thursday night. Miss Selma Borchardt, of the National Teachers' Association, discussed the legal aspects of the present critical situation of the profession in the United States. She advocated close organization of teachers for the purpose of watching legislation and shaping it to educational advantages. Miss Borchardt painted a sad picture of the effect the depression is having on schools all over the country. She said: "What's Being Alone?" "One hundred sixty-five cities in 31 states have cut off the kindergarten schools. Before this month is out more than 30,000 schools will close. In Chicago and Atlanta, Ga., the teachers have only had a half month's pay this year. I feel the public school is passing.' Miss Borchardt spoke of race relations here and said: "You have an educational advisory committee on character training. Have you heard of that committee doing anything for race adjustment? How many Negroes appear on the programs in the white schools here?" Work of the American Federation of Labor for education and its policies, North and South, and the difficulties with which it is advancing these policies was discussed by Edward McGrady. He expressed himself as being interested in the DePriest amendment to the reforestration bill, which would insure no discrimination in employment under that measure, because of race, color or creed. Mr. McGrady told of some of his experiences while investigating labor conditions on the Mississippi River and in Birmingham, Ala. He said: "Negroes were killed and buried by the side of the river to get rid of them, and not a thing was said or done about it. If they protested the inhuman treatment given them in the levee camps they were soon put out of the way." He advised the Negro to organize and fight for the right as long as there is strength to fight. He said: "You will be respected accordingly as the opposition fears your strength." Other speakers were Mrs. Mary Mason Jones, president of the local; Miss Anne Shumate, editor of the Progressive Educational Magazine; Albert Brooks, of the Shaw Junior High School; Mrs. Madre Marshall, former president of the local; Miss Juanita Howard, president of the College Women's Club; and Mrs. Anna G. Galloway, principal of the Croome Settlement School. Edward H. Lawson, toastmaster. Mrs. West Heads the Sterling Relief Association At a called meeting of the Sterling Relief Association, Tuesday night, Mrs. F. Erma West was elected president, to succeed her mother, the late Mrs. Ida G. Richardson, who organized the association in 1917. Mrs. West was chairman of the entertainment committee, but that position will not be filled until the regular meeting on Monday night, April 10. The association was organized by Mrs. Richardson for the purpose of supplying shoes and clothing to needy children in school. This policy will continue as the association secures the supplies. The officers are Mrs. F. Erma West, L. Roscoe Evans, vice-president; James Monroe, recording secretary; Carnelia G. Shorter, financial secretary; Mrs. Frances K. Cornish, treasurer; Mrs. Charlie Williams, purchasing officer; and Louis H. Russell, business manager. GREEN MOUNTAIN LODGE HOLDS INSTRUCTION MEETING The Green Mountain Lodge of Odd.

The robbery took place just at the time when things were very quiet in the offices of the theatre, which are located in the rear of the building. There was no one around at the time and the robber made an easy escape. Mrs. Logan informed the police department that she could identify the man. Up until a late hour Thursday the culprit had not been caught. Mrs. Logan, who suffered slight injury, resides at 1534 Columbia Road, Northwest. JACKSON SAYS PROFESSIONALS DOMINATE CITY That Group Holds the Negro 25 Years Behind National Progress Holding that prayer should be a stimulant for thought and work and not for mental laziness and physical inactivity, James A. Jackson, of the small business section of the Department of Commerce, as principal speaker at the opening of the city-wide Young People's Forum, last Friday night, at Asbury M.E. Church, stated that the Negro still lingers on the outskirts of national affairs. To the professional group Mr. Jackson laid the blame for the Negro being twenty-five years behind in national progress. "The professional class holds itself apart from the masses," said Mr. Jackson. "We have here 1,302 teachers, 269 ministers, 191 physicians, 173 trained nurses, 132 lawyers, 95 college professors, 70 dentists, 13 editors and authors, 12 technical engineers, and 8 architects for a total of 2,204. "We practice too much pure bunk and too little pure business sense. We know too much about social practice and too little about business practice, which means the circulation of money, and which constitutes applied economics." Mr. Jackson stated that we have more lodges than we have stores, more churches than we have factories, more rented clubs than owned ones, and more bridge clubs than we have salespeople. "Buy Black" The speaker stated that if we would throw our patronage to the places we have, we could increase our present number three times in the next ten years. "The lash of adversity, the shackles of distress and painful restraints are now beating in Negro minds these lessons. If America can buy America, we certainly can push our slogan, buy black" he said. Belford V. Lawson, president of the forum, delivered his inaugural address setting forth the purpose of the forum. Dean Kelly Miller will address the forum at the Asbury M.E. Church tonight (Friday). The officers of the Young People's Forum are B. V. Lawson, president; Mrs. Rovie Bethel, Miss Ida Mae Hall, and Miss Anita Anderson, vice-presidents; Miss Mary Trotman, secretary; Dr. W. T. Parker, financial secretary; Mrs. W. T. Parker, chaplain; V. Robinson, sergeant-at-arms; Edward Beaubian, legal advisor; Dr. Thomas Williston, forum physician; Miss Estelle Collins, assistant financial secretary; Miss Lae Eae Diamond, assistant corresponding secretary; and Miss Helen Whitaker, recording secretary. "As you branch out into service, root down," says the tree to the disciple of Christ Washington Tribune WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933 Washington has the only Negro business high school in the United States with its own distinct organization occupying a separate building. Cardozo Business High, now at Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, has that distinction. There are several business departments in regular high schools over the country. The Cardozo building fronting on Rhode Island Avenue, has 36 rooms, three stories and basement, occupying the block between Eighth and Ninth; R Streets and Rhode Island Avenue Northwest. It was recently remodeled and especially prepared for this school organization. A new steam heating plant with low pressure system was installed, eliminating the hot air system. New lavatories were installed and new baskets and racks for the clothes of the girls for gymnasium practice, have been placed. Assembly Hall Seats 700 There is a modern assembly hall seating 700, with a stage properly fitted for the average school need. The principal's office is on the left of the entrance, with the business office adjoining. It has the master clock which automatically sets off the signal for every period or class change. R. N. Mattingly, the principal, seems very much at home in his new location. The assistant principal, Miss J. E. Mustapha and the matron, Mrs. H. F. Childs, have their offices on the second floor. The matron's suite has two large rooms, complete in every detail for emergencies. It has two emergency beds. There is a faculty room, where various members of the faculty may go in off periods to correct papers or do work for their departments without being annoyed by class room hubbub. It is on the third floor. Well Equipped Library Room The library is also located on the third floor. It is a long airy room at the Ninth Street and Rhode Island Avenue corner. It is one of the finest equipped library rooms in any of the high schools here. There are about 2,000 books now on the shelves. There are two well equipped gymnasiums, one for boys and one for the girls. The showers, the rooms for changing clothes and lavatories are all arranged so that little time will be lost in going from one to the other. The cafeteria, kitchen and pantry are on the first floor. The cafeteria faces Ninth Street at the R Street corner. There are 31 tables seating eight persons each and a 30-foot serving counter. But this department has been handicapped for lack of range connection with the gas and no hot lunches have been served at Cardozo, although the school was opened February 20 Cafeteria Not Used Yet Not a table in the big cafeteria has been used yet. Mrs. Bessie Pettrros, who has charge of this department has worked faithfully to get together a lunch-a-day by cooking some food at her home and transporting it to the school. The pantry, kitchen and cafeteria are separated from each other by a hall. The kitchen is modernly equipped when the ranges are connected. The outlook is that they will not be connected this school year, and therefore, no hot lunches for the pupils. Course of Study The school offers three distinct types of curricula: (A) Commercial Vocations Course, (B) College Preparatory Course, (C) Social-Business Course. The commercial vocations course requires at the beginning of the fifth semester specialization in one of the following fields: accounting, commercial art, salesmanship, shorthand and typewriting, textiles and clothing, foods and cookery, estimating and contracting, printing and duplicating, instrumental music, and major music. The college preparatory course offers at the beginning of the fifth semester instruction in mathematics and languages as required by college entrance boards. The social-business course permits at the beginning of the fifth semester the election of subjects without reference to any particular vocation and is designed to furnish a liberal and cultural background for the understanding and appreciation of our present-day social and economic organizations, institu- [Continued on page 165] Where Students Are Prepared for Business Pursuits THE MIDDLE SCHOOL CARJOZO BUSINESS HIGH SCHOOL is now located in this remodeled building at Ninth Street, and Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest.

Fails at First Hearing Judge Rules Mandamus Not Proper Method of Seeking Relief for Colored Students Demanding Entrance; Case to Be Appealed SHAW SCHOOLBOY PATROLS HONORED Grady Hoffman to Be Given Award for Saving Life of Student Twenty patrol boys of Shaw Junior High School were given a banquet Friday afternoon at the school by Miss Nellie M. Quander, sponsor of the troop and teacher at the school. Following the reception the boys were addressed by Patrolman F. L. Binswanger, of the traffic bureau, Officer Binswanger is author of "Safety Mike," a book dealing with safety problems affecting school children. Brady Hoffman, a patrol boy, was honored for having saved the life of a student recently near the school. Hoffman made the rescue at the risk of receiving injury himself. He is to be awarded a decoration in the near future. Members of the patrol are: Arthur Colbert, captain; Paul Burke and James Warren, lieutenants; Thomas Newman, Elvin Shepherd, Lacy Irving, Charles Marshall, Norris Dodson, Eugene Meyer, Edward Feggens, George Morto, Josiah Hill, Emmett Scroggins, Wilbur Anderson, Robert Thompson, Jerry Chandler, Horace Preston, Brady Hoffman, McKinley Grey, and Kenneth Hardy. Police Start Drive to Halt Taxicab Menace On complaint of a number of citizens police started a drive to curb reckless taxicab drivers on U Street this week. Officers said that drivers of cabs on this thourghfare are the worst in the city. Especially after dark and near time for theatres to close, drivers crowd the street, block traffic and create a menace to pedestrians and motor vehicles. Many drivers speed through the street without regard for the lives of others. Protests have also been lodged against drivers who suddenly stop in the street and hold up traffic while they take on passengers. Cabs speed at an excessive rate while hauling passengers and when empty they creep along at a snail's pace while drivers seek to attack or solicit fares. Police of No. 2 Precinct Station fold the Tribune tis week that drivers guilty of the regulations complained of will be arrested and fined. If the offense is committed a second time their permits will be revoked. The man who mows his lawn, cleans his backyard, chains his vicious dog, and trims his shrubbery is doing his part to make his neighborhood and city attractive. His contribution though small is real.

Holmes is princip North Carolina at First Hearing It Proper Method of Seeking ents Demanding Entrance; e Appealed DURHAM, N.C.—After a dramatic and intense two-day legal battle here, Judge M. V. Harnill on March 28, denied a petition of mandamus brought by Thomas R. Hocutt, a colored youth who sought to be enrolled in the school of pharmacy of the University of North Carolina. Hocuss sought an order from the court directing the university to admit him as a student. The judge held that the petition of mandamus was not the proper method of seeking relief. Denial of the mandamus was expected by all parties and was predicted before the suit was filed. The attorneys for Hocutt immediately filed notice of appeal and are preparing the papers for the higher court. Attorneys for the N.A.A.C.P. in Washington and New York are studying the opinion. This suit is only the first step in a legal fight to secure professional training for Negroes in North Carolina and other Southern states. Judge Says Color Barred Hocutt Judge Barnhill, regarded as the best trial judge in this section of North Carolina, in his opinion made the vitally important point that in his judgment Hocutt's admission to the university was denied on the sole ground that he was a person of African descent. Judge Barnhill also declared that Hocutt had made due application to the university to be admitted. On two other questions of fact which he was asked to decide, the judge answered in the negative, saying that he did not believe Hocutt complied with all the rules and regulations in respect to such application and that he did not believe Hocutt had established a clear legal right to the university as a student in pharmacy. The hearings were held in a courtroom preaked with colored and white people. Conrad Pearson and Cecil McCoy, young Durham lawyers, were assisted by William H. Hastie, of Washington, D.C., sent down by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The young colored lawyers were lined up against Dennis G. Brummitt, Attorney General of North Carolina; A. A. F. Sewell, first assistant attorney general; and Victor Bergatt, local lawyer. Although the hearing was set for Friday, it actually did not get under way until Saturday. Friday was taken up with conferences in the judge's chambers in which it was sought to arrange a compromise. The attorney general, as he said later in the argument, was for granting anything to the Negroes if they only would not ask entrance to the sacred campus of the University of North Carolina. No compromise was reached and Saturday morning questioning of witnesses began. Interest was high in the case as Hastie, immediately upon arriving on Thursday, had proceeded with McCoy and Pearson to issue subpoenas for everyone, white and (Continued on page 16) "Good cheer is something more than faith in the future, it is gratitude for the past and joy in the present."

COLORED BANK HOLDS DEPOSITS OF ELK ORDER Citizens & Southern Bank, a Conservative Philadelphia Concern, is Selected PHILADELPHIA. In a signed statement released to the Negro Press, last Wednesday, the members of the board of directors of the Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company, 1849 South Street, said, among other things: "Mrs. Abbie M. Johnson, grand daughter ruler; Mrs. Frances Young, grand daughter renterasurer; and Mrs. Buena K. Gibbs, grand daughter secretary of the Grand Temple, Daughters of I.B.P.O.E, of W., accompanied by Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson and Commissioner of Education, Judge W. E. Hueston, visited the Citizens and Southern Bank last Wednesday and deposited in the Savings Department $8,000. The Citizens and Southern Bank and Trust Company has now become the depository for the Grand Lodge and the Grand Temple of Elks. "The many new deposits which are now coming into the bank shows that the people are beginning to understand and appreciate what it means to have a 100 per cent bank owned by our people. A Conservative Bank For years this bank has been known for its conservatism; in fact many people felt that often we were too conservative; too strict in our observance of certain rules of caution and safety. However, we feel that our strong position today is a sufficient justification of our policies in the past. "We are glad to be able to offer the service co-operation, and protection of this bank to our old friends and new friends in this community. We have kept faith with you throughout the whole of a dark and difficult period. We shall continue to keep faith with you in the brighter days ahead, serving and protecting your interests, as always." The board of directors of Citizens' and Southern Bank and Trust Company are: R. R. Wright, Sr., Jak, H. Irvin, Walter C. Beckett, Emanuel C. Wright, E. W. Thornton, L. B. Thompson, William Newman, R. R. Wright, Jr. Counsel Walsh Exalts Religious Institutions Assistant Corporation Counsel Gillespie Walsh of the Juvenile Courts, spoke at the forum of the Twelfth Street Branch, Y.M.C.A., Tuesday night, on what makes a juvenile criminal. Counsel Walsh paid high tribute to the religious and character building organizations of Washington for their influence upon the youth. He brought out the fact that children who are identified with the churches, Y.M.C. and Y.W.C. associations' Boy Scouts and other agencies of this type are the ones to whom we can look to for our future citizenship, because these organizations keep the child in a spiritual attitude which is quite necessary to a child's welfare. THEATERS SPORTS NINE UARTERS GOVERNMENT CUT RESULTS IN EXODUS Many Employees Felt 15 Per Cent Cut and Fled Apartments for Rooms Last Saturday turned out to be a wholesale moving day in the District of Columbia. People, high and low, employed by the government, who felt the 15 per cent cut, squirmed out from the high rent places, and moved into places of lesser pretentioness or a room or two. A score or more of the white apartment houses notified tenants of substantial reductions in rents effective Saturday and many families for this reason did not join the moving caravan. It was also learned that one or two of the colored apartments lowered their rent. A colored man, who has several moving vans, stated that Saturday was one of his biggest days within the last year. Many of the real estate offices among the whites announced that instead of rent reduction, the offices were taking over the gas and electric bills of tenants, and hereafter would rent apartments with these services free. Colored Folks Easy Marks High rents have been the issue among colored tenants here for almost a decade. Throughout the Northwest section two and threeroom apartments are rented for from $42.50 to $60. Many of these places are far from being even "nice." Colored tenants pay without a drawback. In fashionable S Street and even T and U Streets, apartments rent for as much as $75 per month. The exodus to rooms and smaller quarters began Saturday, but the extent of this chance will not be fully felt for several months by realty operators. Euel Lee FacesTwoNew Indictments While Second Appeal Is Pending BALTIMORE, Md. (CNS)—The Worcester County grand-jury has returned two new indictments charging Euel Lee (Orphan Jones) with the death of Mr. and Mrs. Green Davis and their two children. Lee now is under sentence of death for the murder of Davis, but an appeal has been taken. In previous indictments, members of the Davis family were not grouped. Court attaches here today pointed out that the new indictments will enable the case to be returned to Worcester County if the court of appeals grants Lee a new trial. His attorneys in the previous trials were unable to secure a change of venue. He was tried in Towson, Baltimore County, on the indictment charging him with murder of Green Davis and was convicted. The Court of Appeals granted a new trial, however, because Negroes had been excluded from the jury panel. He was tried again in Towson and again was convicted. A second appeal has been taken. Upon reaching the retirement age last week, Charles Hamilton, 71, of 8 Patterson Street, Northeast, was retired from the Government service ending fourteen years as a messenger in the Federal Trade Commission.

"Thou-sands of pounds of mail have been dispatched to the four corners of the globe by the National Baptist Publishing Board of this city," is a statement made to the press by the board this week. Further it states: "While the institution has been located in this city for more than thirty-six years, having been established by the late Dr. R. H. Boyd, it is seldom that such a tremendous amount of orders have come in to them in the spring quarter season. "Several new records have been established.

The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union It is Interdenominational, Interracial, and International. By ARTHUR T. JACKSON Director of Publicity The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of the District of Columbia is perhaps the most unique Christian organization in the District. Composing as it does aln. t all denominations into a common group, it tends to dissolve prejudices born of conflicting beliefs. The Union consists of five societies in A.M.E. Zion Churches, eight in Baptist Churches, three in Congregational Churches, three in A.M.E. Churches, one in the Christian Church, and one (Y.M. C.A.) lending itself to general community endeavors. Stresses Denominational Loyalty But the Union does not encourage denominational unfaithfulness. Rather, it insists upon denominational loyalty. It does place Christianity above denomination, however, and contends that Endeavors may have a fuller, richer, and more productive life without losing their denominational identity. When Endeavors meet, they find that each of their church groups is aiming to carry out a program that is common to each other's. If they approach the task from different angles, their opinions are respected. And it is believed that the end to be accomplished is common and may be reached by any of these divergent paths. Tolerance is a keystone in Christianity and in the Golden Rule Union, tolerance is raised to the nth degree. The Union's name is symbolical of its policy. Officers from Various Denominations In its selection o. officers, as in every other representative group, it is the policy of the Union to include components of all member denominations. Except to stress church loyalty as one of the four cardinal principals of C.E., church group affiliation is never a subject of discussion. And never under any circumstances is it an issue. If all its other accomplishments are negated, the Union has contributed this much to the sum total of good influences in the lives of the people. Over and above this, also, is its participation in a world wide program. As many members compose a society, and many societies make up the union, so do many similar unions all over America and in every other country where Christianity has penetrated, compose the Internatio ' Society of Christian Endeavor. Participates in International Conventions The local Union has sent repre- JO Leads the Way i This Beautiful Casket in Everything Except Grave We Buy In Carload Lots This Cask We Can Also Give You Funeral, Including a Gra JOHN 901 3rd St., S.W.

Colored on Board There are colored members on the board of trustees of the International society One, Dr. W. L. Washington, is a local minister. Two others are bishops in the A.M.E. Zion Church, and two are of the A.M.E. Church. As no denominational lines are drawn in the local union so also no racial lines are drawn in the International society. And whenever racial questions have arisen, this policy has been reaffirmed. There is one outstanding incident when the rest of the trustees firmly and effectively resented what seemed to be a discrimination against their colored brothers by a business concern in one of the convention cities. It may be that this spirit will link all denominations, all races, and all nations, until they become woven into one brotherhood of man. Perhaps this Christian organization may become the vehicle of racial amity and world peace, as it is the agent of Christian brotherhood. The officers of the local union are: James A. Brown, president; Arthur T. Jackson, vice president; Mrs. I. M. Hamilton, secretary and J. A. Stackhouse, treasurer.

Phone 620 NEWS GERRYMANDER TO BAN NEGRO, SAYS ELLISON Cityty Officials Address Forum in "Know Your City" Symposium BALTIMORE—The recent gerrymander in the legislature was for the purpose of preventing the election of a Negro to that body, according to Daniel Ellison, member of the City Council, who addressed the City-Wide Young People's Forum, Friday night, on "The City Council." In spite of the fact that several very important bills were still unsettled on the eve of the closing date for this legislative session, the state lawmakers found time to put this bill through, he said. The bill provided for the switching of six precincts of the fourth legislative district to the first and fifth districts, thus scattering and making ineffectual about 3,500 colored Republican votes. "Meanwhile," said Mr. Ellison," bills which if not put through before the end would necessitate an extra session, such as the budget bill, unemployment insurance, and the beer bill, wee left unsettled." Mr. Ellison also condemned the effort to limit the sale of beer to saloons because he stated that this would promote an unholy partnership between the saloonkeeper and the politician, with all of its attendant audience. The speech was part of a "Know Your City" symposium at the Friday meeting of the Forum at Bethel A.M.E. Church. George Brennan, secretary to Police Commissioner Gaither, spoke briefly on the police department. He was followed by State's Attorney Herbert R. O'Connor, who talked on the criminal problem here. There are two classes of criminals, the state's attorney explained, and each group has to be dealt with in a different manner. Society must be protected from the predatory instincts of the hardened criminal, but often the young offender can be redeemed for society. Because of the strict prosecution of such notorious criminals as Whittimore, and the Sonneborn hold-up gang. Baltimore remains rather free from the out-of-town gangster. Mayor Howard W. Jackson, who was to have been a speaker, sent a telegram announcing that he was detained at the meeting of the legislature. The speakers were introduced by Clarence M. Mitchell, vice-president of the Forum. Following the addresses Miss Juanita E. Jackson, president, spoke briefly on the three petitions sponsored by the organization. They ask that jobs for colored youth be made available in the city libraries and the welfare department, and that supported married women be replaced by unemployed young teachers in the public schools. Miss Jackson stated that nearly 2,000 signatures had been secured and explained that there had been some misunderstanding as to the married women petition, that it did not apply to all married women teachers, but only to those who were adequately supported. Musical selections were furnished by Luther at the organ and by the Young People's Choir, Mrs. Virginia J. Kiah, directress; Mrs. Carrie Dorrie, pianist. Bethel Church, Cambridge Holds Men's Day Josiah F. Henry, Jr., Baltimore attorney and exalted ruler of Monumentary Lodge of Elks, was one of the principal speakers in a triple program celebration of men's day at Bethel A.M.E. Church, Cambridge, Sunday. At the morning program Dr. T. H. Kiah, of Princess Anne Academy, preached the sermon and the men's choir furnished music. In the afternoon others who spoke were Charles Cornish, Samuel Hayward, Sr. P. L. Moore, and the Rev. R. B. Thompson, of Waugh M.E. Church. Hon. H. M. S. St. Clair, city councilman, was the evening speaker, also B. T. Holmes, S. E. W. Camper, attorney, and the pastor, the Rev. O. J. Hayman. Musical selections were given during the day day by Samuel Hayward, Sr., Arthur Wilson, Ederidke Adams, Wallace Custis, John Cornish, Fred Jackson, and the Melody Boys. Orphanage Celebrates Tenth Anniversary The Universal Apostolic Orphanage, 1522 W. Lafayette Avenue, is holding a program all the week in honor of its tenth anniversary. Speakers from Apostolic Churches out of town as well as local speakers of the same faith and other guests have been invited. The services which began Sunday are conducted each evening with a special program and will end Sunday, April 3. Elder Margaret Jones is president. School 122 to Have Physical Ed. Exhibit The physical education department of School 112 will stage an exhibition, Thursday. April 20, at 4 p.m., under the direction of their instructor, Louis Snowden. The exhibit will cover health education of the platoon school by grades 2 to 6, and will include work done with the apparatus of this department, dances, games and pyramid building. Dances will include clown, interpretative moods, and two dances, the Virginia reel, and Cotton Needs Picking, which express the emotional reactions of the race. Student leaders will be J. G.

Wednesday morning a movie talkie depicting the development of the cocoa bean and its production into various chocolate products was presented under the direction of Mrs. Jane Wilson and Mrs. Theresa McLiver. The school won honors in both divisions of the basketball tournament held recently. In the class over 100 pounds, it twice defeated School 112, and after losing to the same school in the first of three tilts in the under 100-pound class, the team staged a comeback and defeated this school twice. Phyllis Wheatley to Be Presented at Jr. High "Phyllis Wheatley," a pageant, will be the spring entertainment featured of the Booker T.

Marionette Show at Washington Jr. High A marionette show entitled, "The King and the Bag of Gold," was presented by a group of seventh grade pupils at the Booker T. Washington Junior High School last Friday afternoon under the direction of Miss Edleanor Fessenton, of the Samuel Coleridge Taylor School. The show, the first in this city to be made and operated by colored children, was first presented at the Taylor School, No. 112, last year, and by request was again presented by the same group of children who are now students of the junior high school. Business Men to Conduct Second Trade Week The Association for the Promotion of Negro Business is completing plans for the second annual celebration of Negro trade week which will be held here the first week in May at Odd Fellows' Hall. The feature of the affair this year will be a public wedding with a shower of gifts in forms of merchandise and prizes offered by many of the local business firms. A beauty contest is another feature of the week with attendant prizes to the successful contest. Howard H. Murphy is president of the association and Henry Jenkins, secretary. George D. Tyler is in charge of publicity. Dr. Louise Young Gives Health Week Talk Dr. Louise Young Lawson presented a very informative talk on "High Blood Pressure, Its Cause and Cure," at the Y.W.C.A., Tuesday evening as a feature of the Baltimore Negro Health Week program. Dr. Lawson began by describing the circulatory system, gave the effect of work, rest, sleep, hurry, emotional stress, and other physical activities on the blood pressure. She followed with a series of corrective measures. Dr. Lawson was introduced by Dr. B. F. Browne, who presided. Dr. Browne pointed out the necessity for a follow-up program on the health suggestions and measures disseminated during health week. "Jim and Jerry," a health play, was presented by the Girl Reserves, and a solo was sung by Miss Gladys Seater, of the industrial club. MES. NELLIE B. CONNOR BURIED Mrs. Nellie B. Connor died suddenly, Saturday, April 1, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Katherine St. Clair, at Cambridge, Md. Funeral services were conducted Wednesday morning from the residence of her daughter, Mrs. Cecilia Rezar, 2116 Barclay Street, thence to St. Francis Xavier Church, at 9 o'clock, the Rev. J. T. Gillard officiating. She is survived by her husband, Beaujacan Connor, another daughter, Mrs. Helena Heimer, and a son, Eugene Connor. BALTIMORE His Honor the Judge LOVE ME, LOVE MY DOG Frederick Raines, 1918 McCulloh Street, was arraigned in the North- western Police Station, Monday, for striking Henry Fuller, 14, 1820 Division Street. He claimed that although he had warned Fuller and two other boy companions to let his dog alone, they had not heeded him. In fact, when Fuller's ball fell in the Raines yard, in spite of warnings about the dog, the boy climbed over the fence after the ball, the dog chased him, where- upon Fuller struck him with a base- ball bat, breaking his leg. One dolla and costs, said the judge. BUSHEL OF COAL COSTS $16.45 Helping oneself to coal from the cars in the Pennsylvania Railroad yards proved an expensive experience to George Washington, John Gross and Preston Fisher, when they were fined $15 and costs in the Northwestern Police Station, Monday morning. Washington testified that he was unemployed, that his wife was working one day a week, and that it was his first offense. All of the men stated that they offered no trouble when caught by Officer Hopkins, and that they left the coal behind, although one stated that he was told to take his bag. When Lily Pell decided to break up housekeeping at 930 Vincent Street, by chopping up the cook and egg stoves with an ax, Harry Briscoe broke up her happy home by sending for her brother to take her away. He had been drinking and struck her in the head and caused her to go to Provident Hospital for treatment, she declared. She broke up the two stoves. She had been drinking and fell down herself, declared Briscoe, who said that he had been taking care of the woman, who is paralyzed, for two years. The doctor has warned her against drinking, he stated. "Why is it that you haven't had a fight with her before when you tried to stop her from drinking," asked the judge. "I did not try to stop her; I can't stop her from drinking," answered Briscoe. "Dismissed," replied the Judge Yursik when the arresting officer verified the broken stoves. The old adage about thieves falling out came true in the Northwestern Police Station. Tuesday morning when Robert Wright, 621 Sharp Street, was held for the action of the grand jury on a charge of entering the tailoring shop of Morris Weisman, white, 1107 Mytle Avenue, January 12, and taking several suits and dresses. Wright is alleged to have sold a gray suit to Imlather Davis for $1.50. Meanwhile Davis claimed that the suit disappeared before he could carry it home. Police were called out to settle the argument over the disappearing suit, leading to the arrest of Wright, when the suit was identified as one of those missing from the shop. Entry was made to the shop through a hole cut in the wall. Several attempts have been made since to break into this same establishment. About three weeks ago an unidentified man broke the plate glass window in an alleged attempt at burglary. He was frightened off by the alarms given out by neighbors, who say that Weisman has been frequently instrumental in safeguarding their homes. AN EXPENSIVE EVENING Wade H. Blanks, accompanied by his wife, went out to dinner dance at the Savoy, and refreshments later at 607 W. Lanvale Street, on Monday evening. Everything would probably have gone off all right if some one had not struck a friend of Blanks at the dance. Occupants and visitors at the Lanvale Street residence, where a party was in progress, testified that Blanks came to the home, ordered a quart of liquor, went out and came back later, and threatened to shoot up the house. Flourishing a huge revolver, according to the testimony of Mrs. Ethel Lawson, landlady, Miss Anna Goodwin and Mrs. Isadora Jones, both roomers, Blanks and Edward Jones, a roomer who was standing on the front step, get into a tussle. When police came along a few minutes later Blanks was running, and Jones was suffering with a blow on the head. Two shots had been fired and Jones was arrested with the gun which he claimed he had wrested from Blanks and an open knife. Judge Yursik, probably deciding that Jones had had punishment enough, fined Blanks a total of $6.45 on three charges of disorderly conduct, carrying a gun, and assault and shooting. At the present moment, when the administration is struggling manfully in the turbulent waters of depression and deficit it needs the life preserver of good will abroad as well as at home much more than it needs the dead weight of 287,330 tons of new naval construction. The Christian Century. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933 On the Merry-Go-Round By LILLIAN S. WATTY BALTIMORE relaying a broadcast from the nation's capital, wherein you shall hear of the movements of that nebulous mass of beings known as SOCETY, which may or may not mean you. The social whirl has slowed up considerably, and for the next week or two more attention will be given to a prayerful attitude than to the jazz pose, hands will turn from jig saws to palms, and thoughts from the making of contracts to the eternal question (feminine) "What shall I wear on Easter?" MAE WRIGHT, charming bride-to-be, still remains the center of attention socially because of her approaching marriage, which takes place April 15. Saturday, April 1, Elmer Burgess entertained at luncheon in her honor. Other guests were Blanche Hughes, Elizabeth Nicholas, Irene C. Edmonds, Mary C. Johnson, Etta Burwell. Adah Killion Jenkins was hostess at a lovely miscellaneous shower at her residence on Westwood Avenue, Wednesday. Those who feted the honoree were Mesdames Dallas Nicholas, S. Randolph Edmonds, Berkley Butler, Paul Henderson, Richard Hill, Misses Alice Mundy, Ruth White, Mary C. Johnson, Mabel Locks, Margaret Williams, Dukye Wood, Edna Brown and Mildred McMechen. The shower was followed by a buffet supper and bridge. The shower was followed by a buffet supper and bridge. On Saturday, Mrs. Dallas Nicholas (Chita McCard to you) will be hostess at a bridge luncheon honoring Miss Wright. Among her guests will be Mrs. Alice Bentam, of Wilmington, Del. On the same day at the Y.M.C.A. the Matinee Ensemble will stage its eight annual birthday party with husbands and friends numbering about one hundred as guests. A full and attractive program has been planned by this club, which is one of the few social clubs which does other things than bridge and dance. Plans also go on space for the Flower Mart, June 2, by the Women's Co-operative Civic League which promises to be bigger and better this year than ever before Mrs. R. Garland Chissell, chairman, announces that new plans include a country store sponsored by the City-Wide Young People's Forum and exhibition features. THE REV. AND MRS. C. Y. TRIGG, of Metropolitan M.E. Church, entertained at dinner a number of ministers and their wives on Monday and a gay background of flowers and festivals. The speaker of the evening was Dr. Harry F. Ward, professor of Christian ethics at Union Theological Seminary, New York. Dr Ward advocated a new economic order whose goal would be not material gain but development of all human capacities. His address was followed by a round table discussion. The Rev. Julius Carroll, of Whatcoat M.E. Church, presided. Among the guests were the Rev. and Mrs. Asbury Smith and Mrs. McDowell all white; the Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, of the Board of Home Missions and Church Extension Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church; Mrs. Alice D. Crawford, of the recreation department, sang two solos accompanied by Mrs. Daisy Briggs King. THE CHALKWRITERS, one of several schoolmen's groups around town, met with Frank Barnes as host last Tuesday evening, at which time they were addressed by Harry T. Pratt, principal of the Dunbar Junior High School. Mr Pratt described the development of the Negro schools in this city. He graphically told of the "flying squads" in the 1890's and early 1900's, which took over school after school until by 1905 all colored schools were manned by colored teachers. The mass meeting protesting the changing of faculties from white to colored was larger than the recent one protesting the dropping of teachers. It resulted in the modification of the bill to change faculties from white to colored to one providing that vacancies be filled with colored teachers as they occurred. Dr. James H. Van Stickel, former superintendent of schools here, was responsible for the change, said Mr. Pratt. He advocated the continuation of educational development for youth in spite of retrenchment programs. The Chalkwriters are making plans for their annual yacht party which will be held in June. Miss Celestine Thomas was hostess to the Girlgigs last Friday evening with a number of extra guests; among whom were Irma George, Blanche Langley, who kept score; Martha Harman, Bertie Howard, Agnes Wilson, Sarah Sampson, Bennie Johnson, Irma George scored high for the guests, and Ethel Bowling and Sarah Kayne, of the club members. A number of benefit card parties will fill the calendar after the Easter holiday. The Civic League will stage one at the Penn Hall, April 26. The Young Men's Progressive League at 406 Pressman Street, Thursday, April 20; the Nonchalanta at the Chantaclair Club house, FELLOW READERS: April 25; and a mammoth card party sponsored by an educational group at the Fifth Regiment Armory, April 28. Last week I told that the fraternities had gone into a huddle over the dance situation. At least one definite social fling will be the result. The Omegas have set the date, May 11, but the place and whether the dance is to be formal or informal, I am unable to say until they have gone into another huddle. **** THE FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS of which Mrs. Minne M. Gaines is president, held an executive session at the Y.W.C.A. last Tuesday afternoon, when plans for the semi-annual meeting were made. Mrs. Fannie Briscoe, chairman. THE CLUB WORLD is also curtailing activities for the interim of passion and Holy Weeks. But of those who carry on are the Thirteen Women, one of the newer groups, headed by Helen Holt, president; Elsie Brumm is secretary and Mildred Lynch, treasurer. Other members are Maude Griffin, Helen Jones, Margaret Jones, Martha Hall, Charlotte Brent, Marjorie Lynch, Veronica Woodward, Lillian Dotson, Louise Coleman, and Carolyn Harris Fletcher, so far the only madame in the bunch. Wednesday evening, Charlotte Brent entertained the group at her home on Harlem Avenue. The Bridge Aces are making plans for a benefit tea to be held this month. This club met Saturday evening with Mrs. Mabelle Chew, of Stricker Street. Extra guests were Mrs. Mary Simms, Miss Mae Howard, and Lillian Watty, with Mrs. Simms being awarded the guest prize. Club trophies went to Florence Robinson, Helen Hughes and Clara Hardesty, although Billy Chew, husband of the hostess, outplayed all of the guests and members. The Modern Cinderelles were entertained last Tuesday by Cecil McCall, of Carey Street. Prizes were won by Olivia Dorsely, Inez Brown and Lillian Dixon. Geraldine Brooks was the hostess this week. The Carroll Fields were-hosts to Les Cardamons, Saturday. This group, if you remember, are two half dozens of wives and husbands, the Miltons, Dorseys, the James Martins, Mr. and Mrs. Fields, the Irving Lockermans, and the Edward Jacksons. High scores for the wives were made by Olivia Dorsey and Louise Lockerman, and victorious husbands were Milton Dorsey and Moncurce Brown. On Easter Monday this club will entertain at a dance at the home of the president, Moncurce Brown, on N. Carney Street. The wives will be hostesses and the hubbies guests, also a few other friends. A delightful evening was spent by the Tuesday Novelty Club with Mrs. Juanita Allen as hostess this week. The Alma Bridge Club met on Tuesday evening with Mrs. Helen Sanks, of Druid Hill Avenue, with prizes going to Mrs. Chanie Colbert, Mrs. Juanita Altamont, and Msr. Essaline Redd. The Penelope Art Club was entertained last Wednesday evening by Mrs. Lillian Amos, of McCulloh Street, and held its closing meeting until April 19, this week, with Miss Mamie Barnes, of the Belleview Manchester Apartments. Those on the sick list include Mrs. Annie Haughton, of 1431 Mad Madison Avenue, and Mrs. Jennie Richardson, of 1425 McCulloh Street. Mrs. Beatrice Blake, of New York City, was week-end guest of Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Woodland, of 2507 Madison Avenue. POT-POURRI—Did you know that William B. Dixon's swell Cadillac was burned on the Washington Boulevard, Sunday, and that now he has another even better looking? And that Mat Howard is still visiting the apartment at Bloom and Madison Avenue, all statements to the contrary, notwithstanding? And that a school marm that taught on Monday was blessed evented on Wednesday of the same week? And that a group of social workers mostly white recently decided that colored girls needed a minimum wage of 80 cents to live (living where they work) but white ones need at least $4.00 a week? How come? If you can get at the dear ladies, you might ask them, but they don't want any publicity. And did the ladies of a civic organization go up in the air when the Forum prexy presented the "Supported married women's petition"? They would have the Forum understand that they have certain financial responsibilities which youth does not understand, don't you know? The educational pot is brewing again. It is said that it may boil over any time between now and June, spilling out about ten purveyors of knowledge for not measuring up. Next Friday's broadcast will present the "case for the defense" in the Forum-Teachers' fight. Be sure to read in. And did I tell you that Gladys Fitzgerald says that there is absolutely nothing to the rumor that Baltimore Churches Ames Prepares for M.E. Conference Ames Memorial M.E. Church, the Rev. Ernest Lyon, pastor, is making plans to entertain the three or four hundred delegates to the annual session of the Washington Conference of the M.E. Church which will conven at the church April 25, and close May 1. This session of the conference will make the first administration of Bishop Edwin C. Hughes over the Washington Conference, also the first time that laymen have had a voting voice in the body. Quite a number of major changes have been forecast for this session. Cosmopolitan to Hold Good Friday Service Cosmopolitan Community Church is among those which plan a three-hour on Good Friday in commemoration of the passion and death of Christ from from 12 to 3 o'clock. Special service will be held Sunday morning and evening (Palm Sunday) and palms will be distributed. Sermons will be preached by the pastor, the Rev. Frederick Douglas. Class meeting is held Tuesday evening and on Wednesday the Young Negroes' Progressive League, which meets weekly at the church, was addressed by Rabbi Edward Israel. Waters' Jr. Members to Sponsor Sunday Service The junior members of the Sunday School will take full charge of the Sunday School on Palm Sunday filling all officials positions for the day including that of Superintendent Charles A. Cary. In the evening a "Lighted Cross," service will be given with all organizations of the church taking part. Revival to Continue at Enon Baptist A revival which he has been in progress at Enon Baptist Church since March 26, conducted by the Dr. S. L. Johnson, evangelist, will continue until Easter Sunday. Dr. Johnson will leave at the end of this week but the pastor, the Rev. J. Arthur Payne, will preach at each evening next week and also conduct special services Good Friday.

(LLD. Release)—Absolute betrayal of Willie Brown. Negro boy framed on murder charges by police here, was perpetrated by Robert N. C. Nix, Negro attorney, "representing him in court at his second trial, when he entered a "guilty" plea last week. A previous conviction and death sentence against Brown was reversed and set aside by the State Supreme Court. Assistant District Attorney Clare G. Fenerty, supporting this move, announced he intended to obtain a death-sentence against Brown. Attorney David Levinson, of the International Labor Defense, who was retained by the boy's mother, Mrs. Blanche Brown, attempted to interfere with this plea, which was unauthorized, but the judge, forming a lynch-trimivate with "defense" counsel and the prosecutor, would not recognize his plea. "This case," said Judge Davis, "will be heard in accordance with the rules of the court. There have been no conditions made to invite this plea of guilty." The tribune article states that Mr. Nix hopes to obtain a life sentence for Brown on the grounds of poor mental ability. Why does man have whiskers? Well, in the first place to keep him from getting pneumonia; but now he cuts them off and has to wear clothing to protect his chest. --- --- EDITOR'S NOTE-An article in the Philadelphia Tribune of last week, makes reference to the above matter as follows: A scene was created when the trial opened when David Levinson, attorney for the International Labor Defense, announced that he was associated with Mr. Nix in the defense of Brown concerning whose guilt he had "grave doubts." "He represents the International Labor Defense," Nix interrupted. "He is not associated with me. I do not care to have this case spread around to make capital for his organization. This case is no business of thiers. Their wish to be in it was only for publicity purposes. They sought to make capital of it among my own people to deceive them and that I will not be a party to." ELEVEN 10th Annual Women's Day at Metropolitan Baptist Mrs. Sarah Matthews will conduct the tenth annual women's day service at the Metropolitan Baptist Church Palm Sunday. The Rev.

AT MORGAN COLLEGE Bishop Richardson Addresses Assembly "Being One's Best," was the subject of a lecture delivered by Bishop Ernest G. Richardson, of the Philadelphia area of the Methodist Episcopal conference at the weekly chapel services on March 29. Bishop Richardson discoursed at length upon the necessity of being one's best physically, mentally and morally in order that spiritual perfection might by attained. The College Chorus, under the direction of Miss Bnks, appeared on the program in a group of choral selections. STEP-FATHER ACCUSED BY 14-YEAR-OLD GIRL James Sydnor, 63, of the 1700 block of Brunt Street, was charged in the Northwestern Police Station, Monday, with attacking his stewardship, Catherine Johnson, 14, about March 1, during the absence of her mother, Mrs. Mattie Sydnor, who was in the country at the time. The girl testified that she feared to tell of the attack for a while because Sydnor had threatened to kill her if she told. She stated that continued suffering from the attack caused her to tell her sister-in-law and her sister, Mrs. Lucinda Davis, of 1165 Stockton Street, upon whose complaint the man's arrest was made. Sydnor was held without bail for the action of the grand jury. MONUMENTAL LODGE IN MEMBERSHIP DRIVE A drive for 2,000 new members in thirty days was launched by the Monumental Lodge of Elks, Tuesday night, at their hall. Madison Avenue and McMechen Street, with John H. Wilson, D.C. attorney, as speaker. A definite campaign program is planned during which it is hoped to reclaim many members lost during the depression. MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Killing Harry Ross, young Negro who worked on their farm near Rosemark, was not murder, according to a jury in Judge Harsh's court here last week. Three white land-holders, E. L. Crook, his son and son-in-law, were speedily acquitted after a fake "trial" because they had shot Ross with six bullets in the head on January 2, after "taking him for a ride." The murderers said that Ross had "insulted" a girl, member of their family. This is similar to the accusation which six Memphis policemen concocted to lynch Levon Carlock, nineteen-year-old Memphis youth, a month ago. The International Labor Defense, using Carlock's murder as a test case, is battling the entire lynch system in Memphis, whose rate for killing is higher than that of any other city in the country. Fannie Ross, widow of the slain worker, testified that there had been some trouble between her husband and his boss, presumably over some work. The day before the killing two of the white farmers attempted to have a warrant sworn out for Ross, but it was refused for lack of evidence. The following day Crook came into the store in Rosemark, the section where he lives, and a witness testified that, "he was drunk and he told me he had killed the Negro. He told me the Negro started to run and he couldn't stand that." "He told me he was going to kill that Negro," another witness, who saw the murderer on the morning of the slaving, testified. "Sure, they're guilty, but they won't get anything for it," an experience Shelby country attorney commented to the International Labor Defense representative. "The courts around here just don't convict white men for killing niggers." What Anna Was A professor was telling to more or less eager ears the facts about Boccaccio and the indiscreet Anna of Aquinis. The class was lulled by his gentle version of the affair, until he was about to close, when he said: "Anna was, you must know, a—well—if I may lapse into the extreme modern vernacular"—his eyes at this point gleamed wickedly and the class sat up—"she was," continued the professor boldly, "what I can only call—a flirt!"—Tit-Bits Magazine.

By ALVIN (CHICK) WEBB Possibly the most unthankful job in the world—selecting the best ten men in any given sport—has been attempted by me. As is characteristic of any sport or recreation, certain men stand out very conspicuously by dint of their excellence in certain individual features of play. Perhaps they had more experience in playing the game, perhaps they practiced a little more strenuously, perhaps they were more fortunate in their contacts with Lady Luck—nevertheless they stood out in the Government Basketball League. I shall explain my selections of the season's all-star basketball teams, with a word or two concerning each player that I have selected. Due to lack of space, I will make no comment on my second team's selection until next week. These players that I have selected have been chosen on the basis of eligibility and their participation in at least three-fourths of the league's games. Men who were declared ineligible by the executive board, and who played in less than three-fourths of the games were not given consideration in the selections. Forwards Joe Sewell for a forward position because I feel that he was the "print" boys' greatest and most consistent scoring threat during both halves of the season just passed. He was especially effective under his team's goal. He averaged close to ten points a game, and in addition shone brilliantly on the defense. Strawberry Butler, the speedy, shifty "dead-eyed" forward of the Soldiers, was one of the hardest men in the league to stop. He possessed a seemingly unerring eye for the basket from the center of the floor, and played a beautiful floor game at all times. Center Lou Meredith played a consistently level-headed game at center with the G.P.O. team. While not especially brilliant and flashy on the floor as some of his team mates, his perfornances were marked with coolness and steadiness that received favorable comment from both players and spectators. Guards Harry Jackson, erstwhile baseball pitcher of note, was without doubt the most polished guard in the league. He combined a potent offense with a powerful defensive game. In one game he scored 22 points, the greatest individual scoring feat of the past season. Opposing forwards had a tremendous task trying to cut through and away from his impregnable defense. Besides that, his work was characteristic for roits clearness and sportsmanship. Hope Hope, G.P.O.'s captain, while the butt of the gallery's zazzling and good natured kidding, characterized his play with extreme coolness and steadiness, although he may be criticized for being something of a showman, and being sometimes unnecessarily rough. These faults were, however, subordinated by his otherwise superior and clever brand of playing. New 400-Yard Track being Constructed at Va. State PETERSBURG, Va.—James D. Barnes, head coach of basketball and track at Virginia State College, has been working hard since the close of basketball season getting his charges in shape for the several dual meets and the conference meet which they will enter this spring. Track facilities at the college are being improved and as a result much interest is being aroused in this branch of sports. The chief improvement consists of the construction of a 400-yard cinder path around Rogers Athletic Field. This track will be ready for use in a short while, and will be used for the meets to be held here this spring. W. A. Rogers, chairman of the athletics committee, announces that dual meets will be held this spring with St. Paul, Hampton, and Virginia Union, all of these will be held on the local field. Definite announcement of dates will be made later. VOLLEY BALL TEAM TRAVELS The Y Spikers will make a trip to Baltimore, Thursday night, to meet the Drudid Hill Avenue combination. The local team has been going at high speed. A number of new faces will make the trip with Dr. Stud Greene and his maulers. Dr. Greene is expecting to take a large group on this trip. He is pointing toward the New Haven engagement to be played the latter part of this month. NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD TO DECIDE SECOND HALF CHAMPIONS TO DECIDE SECOND HALF CHAMPIONS G.P.O. and War College to Clash Saturday in School Gym By Laurence J. W. Hayes The end of the current Government basketball league 1932-33 season is near at hand. The game to decide the winner of the second half series will be played Saturday at 9 p.m., between Government Printing Office and War College teams in the Garnet-Patterson gym and the preliminary game will be played between the Y.W.C.A. team and the Lakeland High School girls at 7:30. If G.P.O. wins the game they will have won the championship of the league. If War College wins, they will have won the championship or first place on the second series and a two out of three game play-off will decide the championship. Those Who Helped J. Earle Moser, editor of the Federal News, in whose office the first meeting of the league was held; Arthur A. Greene, who placed at the league's disposal the facilities of the Y.M.C.A.; Fred Slade, who worked like a trojan to put a team representing Commerce on the floor; Hardy Jones, who worked so hard seeing that the league's equipment was safe that he let someone borrow G.P.O.'s ball; Clifton Carroll, who was the banker, coach, business manager, player and caretaker of his gang (Liberty Loan) at one time; Coleman Shepperson, who helped War College up from the bottom to championship contenders, and Neville Waters, G.O.P.'s money man, deserve much credit for the part which they played in making the league a success. The majority of the plans put in execution by the executive committee originated in the fertile mind of the league's president, Alvin A. Webb. Robert E. Smith, the league's treasurer, who was also Treasury's coach, has, next to the president, done more work than any other member of the executive committee. Vassar Dubois Gibson, State's team manager, was always the first man to meetings and is possibly better informed as to the inside workings of the league than any other man. Freck (Treasury) Boone gets the writers' vote as the most improved player in the league. Willie Hope, G.P.O.'s captain, the best all round player; Knute Jackson (G.P.O.), is the hardest working player; and Holt Wilkinson (Liberty Loan) is the most nonchalant player. Freedmen's Hospital Team Defeats Provident Quint The Freedmen's Hospital staff dribblers scored a one-point victory over Provident Hospital staff, of Baltimore, by a 27 to 26 count, last Friday. Wright, brilliant local gunner, tallied eight baskets and five fouls for a total of 21 points. Freedmen's team was trailing at half time, 14 to 8. The Phelps Vocational five defeated the Druid Hill Avenue quint, 29 to 23, in the preliminary. Wallace, with 10 points, led the winners in the scoring column.

SOUTHERN HOM-RUN WIZARD WANTS JOB CHARLOTTE, N.C.—With 38 home runs and a batting average of .372 to his credit, Robert James Walker, hard hitting first baseman of the Concord Club last season, is seeking a berth on a strong team. Luy Car, outfielder, with 32 homers and a hitting avergae of .362, and who played for the same team, is also desirous of connecting with a good team. They may be reached at 302 Frazier Avenue, this city. Bowling Mrs. V. Deant won the weekly high score last week by registering a 122 game. She was awarded a large ham. Members of the A.K.A. Sorority have been taking a keen interest in bowling and can be seen on the Masonic Temple alleys regularly. Quite a few high sets were averaged on the Temple alleys last Thursday night during the Commercial league matches. A 1,630 set was rolled by the Industrial Cafe team. A 367 set was spilled by the brilliant Slew Carter, of the Industrial team. Miller, of the Pioneers, rolled a three-game set of 357, with a high single game of 141 to his credit. The Freedmen's Hospital five did some sensational bowling to defeat the Pioneers by a score of 1,675 to 1,576. Other high scorers were Dr. Hughes, with a 147 game and 352 set, and Dr. Nelson, with a 159 game and 361 set. A. Jeter, of the hospital bowlers, spilled a 155 game with a 366 set to his credit.

Cook, appointed recently head coach of football at Virginia State College, received much encouragement as to the outlook of his 1933 machine during the first week of spring gridiron practice, which closed last Saturday. The 53 men who answered Coach Cook's call to the spring practice session have shown much interest and enthusiasm in their work. The work of the first week of spring practice has been devoted chiefly to elementary drills based on the new coach's system. Special attention has been given the fundamentals of blocking and tackling with emphasis on a style of line playing which is entirely now to the Trojans.

LUVALLE DOUBLE WINNER ON COAST Bruin Runner Captures 440 and 220 and Insures Relay Win JIM LuVALLE By Russell J. Newland EDWARDS STADIUM (Berkeley). With two of their star performers, Bullet Bob Kiesel and Rob Raqerty, on the side liens, California's Bears nevertheless mustered sufficient strength to defeat the University of California Bruins, $72\%$ to $58\%$, here March 25, in a track and field meet-featured by the upsets of favorites and "discovery" of a new running ace. The main thrills were supplied by husky Jim LuValle, whose brilliant performances in capturing the 220-yard dash, the quarter-mile and running the last lap of the mile relay, enabled the squad from Los Angeles to make a fairly good contest of the meet. LuValle raced to the 440-yard tape in the time of 48.9 seconds, unusually fast considering the condition of the track. He had to plow through mud and bucked a head wind for half of the race. A "surprise" entry in the 220-LaVuille overtook Dave Murri, of California, the favorite, at the three-quarters mark and crossed the finish line with a three-yard lead. His time was 22.7 seconds. LaVuille was the only double winner of the day and he added to his laurels by clinching the relay for his alma mater as anchor man. He was forced to make up a lead of at least five yards the Bear entrants had given their last man, Jimmy Van Lobensels. As a result of his performances, LaVuille stamped himself as a "red-hot" rival of Stanford's great quarter-miler, Ben Eastman. This is the third track meet for young LaVuille this spring, in which he has won seven races, three 440, best time 48.6 against Palamo College; two 220, and twice as anchor man in the mile relay. --- WINNING NUMBERS HIT DAILY—WE SHOW YOU HOW Red hbt numbers that hit.

The men are meeting daily on the second floor in a room set aside for the lovers of the game. Frank Perkins, local champion, is undergoing extensive practice and can be seen in action frequently. Robert Harris, former Y title holder, looms as a big threat to Perkins's title. The "Little Napoleon" handled the champion roughly in a tune-up match recently. Bob captured four straight. The going this year will be tough with Syphax, Dr. Frank Trigg, Mort Smith, Ray Contee, Langford, Webb, Brown, the Jackson brothers, Ted Thompson, and others pointing toward Perkins's crown. The Y table is fast and many of the men are putting in daily practice tilts. A tournament starts the first week in May. FREE NUMBER C. B. R. CODE FREE!

TRIBUNE GIRLS STOP BELMAR SPECIALS ASBURY PARK, N.J.—The Tribune Girls, the national champions, playing before a capacity crowd here last Monday night at the Paradise Hall, gave the crack Belmar Specials girls their first defeat on their home floor, and their third loss in 23 games. The newsgirls were a little slow in getting started due to having very little space to play on account of the immense crowd that extended out on the playing floor. In the first quarter the speedy locals had them trailing, 6 to 2. As the game progressed, the champs' team-work proved too much for the locals and the score ended 31 to 20.

Waring, Jr., who for the second consecutive season has led his flashing girls' basketball team, the Downingtown Lassies, to an undefeated championship of the Middle Atlantic Athletic Association, was host to the victors at the annual banquet given the team last Saturday night on the school campus. When the gay festivities were waning, the coach presented eleven girls with the attractive golden "D" set in the school's other color, a deep blue. The award went to those who had played in at least half of the league contests played by the team. A special gift in the form of a lumber-jacket upon which was embroidered a chenille "D" was given to Sarah Latimere, brilliant forward, who was chosen the most valuable player on the squad, and who was also the unanimous choice of the M.A.A.A. coaches for one of the forward posts on the league's all-star girls' sextet. The flashing basketer has played in fifty consecutive games, repeatedly saving the situation for the Lassies when the opposition threatened. Others receiving the coveted letter were Margaret Singletary, Evangeline James, Mildred James, Alma Bradley, Margaret Banks, Esther Smith, Thelma Clark, Ernestine Foust, Vivian Evans, and Lillian Barksdale.

A number of rookies had the veterans running to cover in a hot workout on the school stadium. Candidates for the team are not depending solely on their baseball ability, but upon their scholarship as well. The following boys are trying for positions on the team: Samuel Ashton, Leroy Jackson, Cotter Mathews, James Fowler, Robert Lee, Paul Cooke, Alignern Belcher, Melvin Jackson, Charles Jase, Howard Contee, Charles Green, Charles Boggs, Charles Dickerson, William Naylor, Clyde Williams, Rubin Harris, Daniel Mathews, John Bolden, Elmore Crutchfield, Oliver Beckwith, Justin Plummer, Harold Randolph. The team is being directed by Perry L. Jacobs, Louis Hilland and Lovell Cyrus, and Captain-elect Clyde Williams. The team opened the spring training with a spirited scrimmage of three innings last week. Augustus Harris, a promising youngster, and William Hightower, were the pitchers. Simpson and Pree did yoeman work at the bat. The former hit a homer out of two trips to the plate. Others to show excellent work were Martin Pree, Leroy Jackson, Hooks Green, and Rip Naylor. The veterans, Ed Williams and Francis Fenwick, did great work in the outer garden. Louis Hiss is manager of the nine. In the three sessions Team A defeated Team B, 2 to 1. VA. STATE SEEKS BASEBALL CROWN Champions for Past Two Years, Hope to Repeat this Season PETERSBURG, Va.—The Virginia State College baseball team, for the past two years champions of the C.I.A.A., is working out daily in preparation for a hard diamond campaign this spring. In persuance of a policy established last spring whereby this branch of sports is left entirely on an amateur basis at the college, the team is being coached by Steve Howe, of Suffolk, Va., who is better known in connection with his excellence on the gridiron. For the past two years the Virginia Statesmen have not lost a single game on the diamond, and Coach Howe is working hard with grim determination to keep the slate clean this season. According to announcement by W.A. Rogers, chairman of the athletics committee, a tentative schedule of team games has been arranged. Although dates for all the games are not definitely known, the Virginia Statesmen will play two games with each of the following teams: North Carolina State, A.& T. J. C. Smith, Hampton, and Virginia Union. LUCKY NUMBERS Guaranteed winners. Stop losing money. Sure hits on all Races, Stocks, Bonds, Butter & Egg, Policy, Cuba, Bolita.

UPSAL PRESS 24 W. 20th Street New York, N.Y. THIS WEEK Junior High Teams Enter Final Round in Intramural Tourney The Winners of the Francis-Randall and Shaw-Garnet-Patterson Contest to Be Crowned Tournament Champions By Edwin B. Henderson. Head of Department, Div. 10-13. The junior high school intramural winners' tourney is nearing the final round. At this time Francis Junior and Randall Junior lightweight teams and Shaw and Garnet-Patterson heavyweight teams are to meet for the final series of home and home games. The winners of each series will be intramural victors of the season. Lightweights—Shaw 0, Randall 1; Shaw 4, Randall 20; Francis 13, Garnet-Patterson 5; Francis 9, Garnet-Patterson 2. The following schedule remains unplayed: Garnet-Patterson and Shaw heaveweights; Randall and Francis lightweights. The junior high school homeroom tourned winners are as follows: The novel feature of the junior high school competition is due to the fact that the representative teams are not the selected best players of the school. Each school holds a well organized intramural series in which every section may have a lightweight and a heavy weight team. These teams are classified not by weight alone but upon relationship between weight, height and age. This tournament within each school results in a lightweight and heavyweight section or homeroom team winning the championship of the building. These section or homeroom winning units then meet the intramural winners of the other junior high schools who enter an elimination series leading to the championship. Everybody Has Chance The big value in this type of competition is that it causes every homeroom team to compete in the school series in the hope of winning the school championship; This winner represents the school in the city series. Enthusiasm runs as high as though these teams were made up as the orthodox school teams are formed. In addition hundred of boys get the chance of playing games in the school gymnasium. The individual excellent performers get their chance to be members of a "varsity" team with intensive coaching and playing schedules when they get to the senior high schools. Thus an over-emphasis upon the development of specialists is avoided in the junior high schools. To date the scores are as follows: Heavyweights- Shaw 16, Randall 19; Shaw 23, Randall 33; Shaw 37, Randall 31; Terrell 16; Garnet-Patterson 23; Terrell 16; Garnet-Patterson 19; Garnet-Patterson 23, Francis 22; Garnet-Patterson 18, Francis 16.

ARMSTRONG LOSES TO PLAINSMEN, 7-5 Cary, diminutive southpaw of Armstrong's curving corps, not only held the hard swinging Pleasant Plans team to three hits, but outsmarted the batters in every respect except handling the buns rolled at him by the wily Plainsmen. Strange to say his catcher, Teepee Payne, toward the end of the game, suddenly came to the assistance of the opponents by muffing an easy foul that would have made the final out, and two easy throws to the plate that would have nipped runners. The combined efforts of these two otherwise perfectly matched battery mates meant seven errors that gave the aliens their seven runs. Their mates, upon the whole gave a good account of themselves in the field, and their bats did enough work to win two or three games blessed with the kind of pitching that Cary gave them. But the little fellow just couldn't field his position, and there is the sad story. Sadder still is the unexpected blowing up of his catcher. Paulin was not the usual puzzle that he is to Armstrong battery, when they waited him out. He still victimized some with his famous high ones, but the brainy of the lot played the game. In the home team's final Beverly batted for Cary and singled. Brown walked and after Garrison sacri- Numbers Players Numbers Players Here is your man: Prof Jose Del.

Rucker is playing number one position on the Cardozo golf team. Maybe the divot diggers from Dunbar and Armstrong will have something to say about it before this austere gent walks off with the crown. Mr. S. G. Loeffler has obtained the concession for the public courses again, including the Lincoln Memorial. I hope those who intend to appeal for a better course will journey over to East Potomac and see him first, for he appears the logical one to interview, and maybe something satisfactory may emerge from the visit. Nothing like trying, you know. **** Do you know the various caddies from the white courses make up 85 per cent of the players who frequent the Lincoln Memorial? Well, I'm telling the truth; they surely do. There was a time when a player negotiated a hole in one, with an attested card to verify his feat, he would be the recipient of gifts ranging from golf balls to crates of soda pop. But nothing has been given for this achievement in a good many years now. The memorial still has something for those lucky hole in oners; they are being awarded a round of nine holes, so that there will be an opportunity to make two holes in one all on the same day. * * * * Mr. Cooper is not employed as manager of the local links now, so those who have clubs at the golf shop in storage, or for repairs, have been asked to come down and get them. MARATHON TO BE RUN APRIL 29 The Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. annual trans-city run will be staged in the streets of Washington April 29. The marathon committee is expecting a large entry list. Teams from Baltimore and Lincoln University are expecting to compete. The Y team, led by Joseph Byrd, former Lincoln University luminary, will include Ike Woodard, John Ellis, Tony Wagner, Wendell Cooper, and a number of new comers. This club is now priming for the cross city run in Baltimore on April 22. The Y aggregation is anxious to capture not only first place, but also the team honors. Royal Golf Club Starts Plans for Tournament Washington golfers turned out in large numbers last Sunday on the Lincoln Memorial course. Members of the Royal Golf Club began the first test of the season. James A. Williams negotiated the course in 63. William Davis and Murphy toured the course with a score of 70. Each played 18 holes. Walter E. Booth reported the highest score, an 84, which is about 10 strokes above the average score. Other scores were considerably above the average.

BISON TRACKSTERS ENTER PENN RELAY Daily Work outs Held in Preparation for Four Coming Meets Thirty candidates including four outstanding veterans from last year's team have answered the track call at Howard University and are now limbering up daily on the university cinder path. The first test for the Bison tracksters will come at the Penn Relays at Philadelphia, April 28 and 29, where Coach Tom Verdell plans to send a mile relay team, a high jumper, and a dashman. Following the relay competition, the team will face strong opposition in the annual Howard Open Meet at the university stadium, and the annual C.I.A.A. championships at Hampton, May 20. The Howard meet will be held May 13. According to Manager Cleveland Jackson, a triangle meet with Lincoln and Morgan and a practice meet with Miner Teachers' College is scheduled tentatively. Outstanding men on the squad are Captain Walter Davis, high jumper, who has consistently done over six feet; L. Aikens, another high jumper; Dick Petite, pole vaulter; Tom Reid, former Philadelphia High School dash champion; Rufus Johnson, weight man and pole vaulter; Ed Plummer, promising 440 runner, Cheyney, C.I.A.A. quarter-mile champion; and Leroy Scurry, C.I.A.A. sprint champion. Milton Larry, outstanding dashman for several seasons, failed to return to school this year. FRANCIS WINNER OF JUNIOR TITLE The Francis Junior High School lightweight basketball team, represented by section 7B4, W. H. Jackson, homeroom teacher and physical director, had an undefeated season in both intramural and interschool tournaments. With one exception the entire team was playing basketball for the first time, but developed into a smooth working and deadly shooting combination. By virtue of Garnet-Patterson's double defeat by Francis by the scores 13-5 and 10-2, and Shaw's double defeat by Randall, Francis and Randall met in the finals of the junior high school series for the championship. The first game, played at Francis, resulted in a 30-8 victory for Francis, W. Clarkeson at right guard, and L. Clark at running guard, checked the Randall offense and held them scoreless from the floor until the last quarter of the game, when Jordan, of Randall, scored on two neat shots. Up to this point, however, Otto Lee, Francis team captain, had been running wild through the Randall defense. His uncanny shooting, coupled with the deadly work of A. Thurston under the basket, had put the boys from the west-end way out in front by a score of 24-3. In the last quarter, Francis was contented with a defensive game, scoring only twice from the field. In the second game, played at Randall, Francis met stiffer opposition. The Francis offensive was checked and Otto Lee was forced to resort to long shooting. Dribbling down to the 20- and 25-foot lines, he made "string music" in crucial periods of the game. A. Thurston and H. Koger did some clever work at short, nassing and following up, and the scrappy game of L. Clark at running guard gave Francis the long end of a 18-9 count and the championship.

Following a check up nothing of any value was reported missing. Schools and Colleges Morehouse College ATLANTA, Ga.-Vocal and instrumental solos as well as ensembles by the orchestra and glee club of Morehouse College will feature the program to be given at the annual concert Monday evening, April 3, under the direction of Kemper Harreld, director of Music at Morehouse College. Of particular interest will be three numbers from the suite, "In the Bottoms," composed by R. Nathaniel Dett which gives a picture of moods or scenes peculiar to Negro life in the river bottoms of the South. The second number, "His Song," is based on the psychological phenomenon that the moods of suppressed people have found their most touching expression in song. The third number, "Honey", written in the humoreske style is after a poem, a Negro love song by Paul Laurence Dunbar. The term "Honey" a colloquialism with many meaning is used here as the intimation of coquetry. The fifth number of this suite, not included on the program, is the well-known Juba Dance. Atlanta University ATLANTA, Ga.—A group of forty colored men from various parts of the State of Georgia met Saturday at Atlanta University to consider the welfare of the thousands of Negro boys in the state who are not reached by any Boys' Work agency, and for whom almost nothing is done in the way of Boy Welfare. They formed an organization to be known as a State Council for Work Among Negro Boys. The objective of this council will be to co-ordinate and expand the activities of existing character-building organizations for Negro boys. Dr. John Hope, president of the university, cited figures from a recent survey which show that out of approximately 130,000 Negro boys between the ages of 10 and 19 years in the State of Georgia, less than 6,000 are being reached by Boy Scout Troops, 4-H Clubs, Boys' Clubs, Y.M.C.A. organizations or similar agencies. Hampton Institute HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—The Virginia State Board of Education served notice of its recognition of Hampton Institute as a standard educational institution.

Zion Church will deliver the baccalaureate address on June 4. Knoxville College KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—A negative team from Michigan State College met an affirmative team representing Knoxville College in a debate on the Knoxville campus last Tuesday afternoon. It was the first inter-racial debate on the Knoxville College campus and is expected to mark the beginning of reciprocal debating activities between the two schools. The debate on the question of cancellation of the inter-allied war THIRTEEN debt, was a no-decision contest. The Michigan State, debaters met the University of Tennessee and Maryville College in debates the same day. Monday night they debated Berea College and previously met the University of Cincinnati. One of the Michigan debaters stated that the Knoxville team was by far the best that Michigan had met on its southern trip. Armstrong High The talking picture season at Armstrong opened with a picture very appropriate for the time. The first picture was the Metro-Goldwyn Mayer production "Prosperity." The attendance was good and every one enjoyed the performance which was given for the Junior Red Cross. The next picture "Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm," a Fox Production will be given Wednesday, March 29 for the mother-daughter committee. Several other pictures will be given soon among which are "The Gay Caballero," "When a Fellow Needs a Friend" and "Charlie Chan's Chance." The fourth annual industrial exhibit was well attended, Thursday night, March 23. President Howe and his daughter, Miss Elizabeth Howe, of Hampton institute were interested visitor. Bordentown Training School BORDENTOWN. N.J. — Ample recognition is given by Hall Johnson to the Bordentown School Glee Club in the famous choral director's production on Broadway of "Run, Little Chillun." Six former members of Bordentown glee clubs are included in the cast of this latest Negro stage sensation. The school glee club sang at the public high school here Thursday night in a program for the benefit of the unemployed of the community. The band and quartet collaborated in presenting the program. Mayor Orson Brown, in thanking Principal Valentine for the school's co-operation, announced that the Bordenton faculty last year had contributed $300 toward the same fund from their salaries, in addition to help given elsewhere. Virginia Union University RICHMOND, Va.—Monday, the need of World Peace was empathically set forth in an address by Prof. Wiliard S. Tedford in the chapel service. His address, although brief, was an excellent plea for the cessation of international hostility, class strife and racial antagonism. On Tuesday the field secretary of the General Education Board of the American Baptist Home Mission Society, Dr. Floyd Carr, was presented to the student body. The Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity conducted the chapel services on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday in observance of "Bigger and Better Negro Business." Professor Greene, of Virginia State College gave a scientific discussion of the economic status of the Negro on Friday. He urged upon the students the necessity of placing their purchasing power into the Negro Economic Cycle. After Mr. Green's speech, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, of Washington, D.C., was presented. Miss Burroughs in a pursuasive and powerful address attacked the racial inferiority complex existing among some students and challenged them to meet and defeat every barrier and to make a contribution, not to the race, but to humanity. The Mabel H. Persons Memorial Bible Reading Contest, which was originally an annual event at Hartshorn Memorial College, is being continued by Mrs. Albert H. Sterne, sister of the deceased, at Virginia Union University. The 1997 contest was held on Sunday morning, at the regular vesper hour in Hartshorn Hall. The contestants were Misses Theo A Dillady, Olga Martin and Florence Majors. The scriptural passage was the Nineteenth Psalm. DePriest Invited to Address Downingtown Industrial DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—If present plans are completed, according to J. H. N. Waring, Jr., principal of the Downingtown Industrial School, Congressman Oscar DePriest will speak at that school. Mr. Waring announced early this week, that the Illinois statesman had been tendered an invitation to be the Community-Mother's Day speaker on May 14. Mothers of students attending the school and hundreds of the institution's friends and neighbors come every year to repledge their friendship and give approval of the work that is being done. Since the beginning of the celebration in 1924, it has been the intention of the school to bring to the neighborhood an outstanding and nationally known Negro, whose life and achievements may serve as an example to young Negro boys and girls. Among those who have been guests of the school on Community Day are Robert W. Bagnall, former director of branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis; Dean Dwight O. W. Holmes, Howard University; and Albon L. Holsey, director of the National Colored Merchants Association. Week Beginning Friday, April 7th Three Hours of Screen Entertainment SPECIAL FOR HOLY WEEK Jesus of Nazareth History's Most Sublime Drama Entire Life of Christ from Birth to Crucifixion BILL BOYD DOROTHY WILSON ROSCOE ATES COMING CLAUDE HOPKINS and His Orchestra with ORLANDO ROBINSON and STAGE SHOW OF 60 PEOPLE FOURTEEN "LADY LOU" IS BROADWAY FEATURE WITH MAE WEST Mae West's first starring picture, "She Done Him Wrong," which will open at the Broadway Theatre Sunday to Tuesday, April 9 to 11, is a lusty roaring melodrama of the Bowery. Its saloons and its politicians, its honky-tonks and its "dames," furnish a background for the activities of the characteracters. Miss West is cast as "Lady Lou," a famous beer-hall entertainer, with a deadly effect on unwary males. Her suitors flock around her in swarms, but she is wary enough to deal only with those who can provide her with the diamonds, which are her weakness, until Cary Grant, a mission worker, come into the scene, who has no diamond to his name. Lady Lou was no lady, but she always got what she wanted. She is by far one of the sexiest women who ever graced the screen. LINCOLN A Lichtman Theatre FRI.-TUES. April 7-11. We defy you to solve it!

The story deals with a famous murder mystery novelist, Wally Porter, who is eloping with Toby Van Buren, a society girl. Their car breaks down just outside of New York City and they wander into a house full of crooks. The gang is planning to wipe out Otto Barfuss, a brewer, who is fighting their attempted control of the beer business. Porter, who has been drinking with the crooks, boasts that he can plan the perfect crime, so the gang imprisons him and Toby, and threaten them with death unless Wally can devise a way to murder Barfuss, who is boarding a train to confer with the governor. "Strange People" Gasps and shudders, shivers and shrieks, will be the order of the day, when "Strange People," the new mystery, opens at the Republic Theatre Wednesday to Saturday, April 7-11. Thirteen strangers meet in a gloomy old mansion on a stormy night, in response to a mysterious summons, twelve of whom recognize each other, as members of a murder jury. They further realize that they are in the house of the murdered man, and that the prisoner whom their verdict condemned is due to hang the following morning. Before the horror-filled night is through the reluctant guests witness enough dreadful doings to make even the most blase film fans clutch the arms of their chairs for dear life.

SPENCER TRACY AND CHESTER MORRIS STAR ON RAPHAEL SCREEN Distinctly American in theme, yet marking a radical departure from American methods of treatment, "Face in the Sky," which comes to the Raphael Theatre next Sunday, April 9, promises to be one of the most interesting screen offerings since the coming of talking pictures. A notable trio of film favorites, Spencer Tracy, Marian Nixon and Stuart Erwin, have the leading roles, and the direction is by Harry Lachman. The plot concerns a traveling sign-painter, always dreaming of his glorious future. He meets a little country girl' who is likewise a dreamer. With the aid of his clumsy helper, the painter assists her in escaping from her drab existence on a Vermont farm, only to fall in love with her. They are separated when the farmer overtakes them, but meet again under unique circumstances in New York City. "Breach of Promise" The old saying, "to the victor belong the spoils," might be true in most cases but not in the latest World Wide picture, "Breach of Promise," which comes to the Raphael Theatre next Thursday, April 13. Chester Morris and Mae Clarke, who enact the stellar roles in this dramatic version of Rupert Hughes' story, "Obscurity," give an outstanding example of the exception which proves the rule in this case. As the young and handsome lawyer who saves a pretty girl from drowning, one would naturally expect the hero to win the maiden's heart and hand. But nothing of the sort. The girl turns round and not only sues but collects the tidy sum of $50,000. Here again the proverb paradoxically goes contrary to the rule. The girl does not get any satisfaction out of securing the fortune but goes to jail for collecting it. "Breach of Promise" is chock full of such dramatic surprises and reversals of form. MYSTERY AND LOVE DOMINATES LINCOLN'S TWO CURRENT BILLS "The Crime of the Century" comes to the Lincoln Theatre, Friday to Tuesday. April 7-11. The picture offers a startling innovation, when Dr. Emile Brandt (Jean Hersholt), world famous sergeon, walks into the police station, and asks them to lock him up for a crime that he has not yet committed. The doctor's confession fails to prevent the perpetration of the murder, however, and it goes through on schedule together with another more gruesome than the first planned. Ultimately the mystery is solved by a police rerporter and an alienist's daughter. The cast includes Stuart, Erwin, Wynne Gibson and Frances Dee. The story of a pair of penniless Britons who attempt to recoup by opening a speakeasy in New York is "A Lady's Profession," which opens at the Lincoln, Wednesday and Thursday, April 12 and 13. The story deals with a family that has come to America to recoup from the loss of a fortune. They discover that the speakeasy business is very profitable. Not at all certain how or why it is done. Miss Skipworth sets about putting the enterprise on its feet. Her greatest problem, however, is the opposition offered by a liquor syndicate, which terrified with the thought of impending repeal, and the consequent unemployment wave among bootleggers, forces all its customers to take more liquor than they can use. Miss Skipworth is most ably supported by a cast including, Sari Maritza, Kent Taylor, Roscoe Karns and Warren Hymer. Were it not for efficient bookkeepers connected with our large firms for the present system of business and general economic conditions would be suffering a far greater handicap than they are now experiencing. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, APRIL 7, 1933 On the Air "JESUS OF NAZARETH ON HOWARD SCREEN FOR EIGHT DAYS "JESUS OF NAZARETH ON HOWARD SCREEN FOR EIGHT DAYS Howard Theatre has arranged for its patrons a special holy week feature, "Jesus of Nazareth," a story relating the life of Christ from his birth to his crucifixion. This is history's most sublime drama and holds attention from start to finish. The famous New York academy choir sings all through the picture in perfect harmony with religious surroundings suitable for holy week. This picture was taken from the famous passion play or the life of Christ. As an added attraction on the same program, R.K.O.'s newest hit, "Lucky Devils," with Bill THE SOUTHERNAIRES QUARTET Beginning at top, left to right, William Edmondson, Homre Smith, Lowell Peters, and Jay S. Toney. Southernaires On National Hook-up The Southernaires, quartet of the "old school," will present a series of "Rocking Chair Memorires" over a National Broadcasting Company network beginning on Wednesday, April 19, at 9:15 p.m. The Southernaires, who have been heard on many NBC programs during the past two years, specialize in songs of the old South which they have learned from the old folks of our race. The "Rocking Chair Memories" programs will be presented without announcements or other spoken interruptions. On last Saturday at 12:45 p.m., the National Farm and Home Hour radio program under the direction of the U. S. Department of Agriculture had as guest speakers from the National Four H Club, Messrs. J. B. Pierce, J. McJames, T. M. Campbell, George Peasant, and Miss Sally Davis. They spoke on "The Achievements of Negro Four H Clubs and Their Members." Mr. Pierce, who was the first speaker on the program, is one of the pioneer extension workers among our farmers and has twenty years' experience to build his general knowledge of field work in six Southern states. His headquarters are located at Hampton Institute, Virginia. In his message he told how Negro Four H Club members are learning to think for themselves. Two representative club members were Miss Sally Davis, a student and member of the Four H Club of Bedford County, Virginia, for ten years, and George Peasant, of Dallas County, Alabama, with five years' experience in club work. Miss Davis gave interesting facts as to how members of the Four H Club of her group have learned to work together and explained how they plan each year's work. The last speaker was T. M.

At the meeting of the board of education, Wednesday, it was stated that the board is faced with the problem of running the public schools in 1934, with $3,633,917 less than was expected, a drop of nearly twenty-five per cent. The board voted to ask the Senate District Committee for a hearing on the bill, so that some of the vital needs might be discussed. The board met again, Thursday in a closed meeting to consider the new bill and how to present its petition to the Senate committee. Mrs. Henry Boyle Gratton, vice president of the board said: "It is necessary for the board to be wise beyond the wisdom of Solomon in carrying out the mandates of the bill." Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of the public schools, said to operate the school system on this reduced appropriation will mean curtailment of many features of the established educational system. He made it clear, however, that although, there is a reduction of $24,000 in salaries, the classroom teaching force cannot be reduced because of increased enrollment. Two additions and two parcels of ground for the colored schools are eliminated in the 1934 bill. An addition to the Browne Junior High School at 24th street and Bennings road, northeast, to cost $115,000; an eight-room addition to the Logan school to cost $95,000; additional ground at the Phelps School to cost $37,000 and additional ground at the Syphax School to cost $25,000 called for in the estimates submitted by the commissioners, were eliminated. A communication from the Parent-Teacher Association of Shaw Junior High School asking for additional play-ground space, improvements in the gymnasium, and other changes was referred to the committee for investigation and report. The fire in one of the four portables at the Cleveland School was reported to have caused a loss of $50 to the building and about $50 to the furniture. The next meeting of the board, due April 19, was postponed to April 26, because of the Easter Week holiday. Changes in personnel were reported as follows: Mrs. H. H. Burnaide reinstated at the Bowen School; Mrs. J. D. Hill returned to Mott; Mrs. G. P. Calle was reinstated in Lovejoy, and Miss R. A. Thompson in the Harrison School. The appointments made were Miss H. Alexine Tanner, temporary at Harrison; Mrs. D. W. Barker, extended appointment at the Bell School; Miss E. M. McDowell, extended appointment at Dunbar High; Miss I. A. Hardy, kindergarten teacher at the Banneker-Jones group was transferred to the same work at the Douglass-Simmons group. Miss C. B. Manas, teacher of special activities at the Young Platoon School was transferred to the sixth grade at Lovejoy, Mrs. E. S. Hanesberry, teacher at the Deanwood School, was transferred to special activities at the Young Platoon School. Tailoring as offered in Armstrong Night High School is open to students who have had three years or an equivalent of domestic art. The course this semester is stressing cutting, fitting and designing tailored and semi-tailored coats and suits. There are 24 different styles in course of construction. Pupils are taught perfection in tailoring by making models of tailored seams, pockets, buttonholes, half skirts and coats. After finishing these, they start making suits and separate coats. When the styles are selected, the pupils buy the necessary materials for making garments. There are three men in the class cutting and making men's suits and overcoats. One male student has made four suits and one overcoat. Altering, remodeling, repairing of men's clothes form a part of the work as well as making new clothes. The ladies in the class have made their spring suits and separate coats in the latest styles; some plain, some fur trimmed. A number of fur trimmed coats for next winter have been made. All work is being done in first class manner. Although commercial patterns are used, original designing and alterations are encouraged. Students often design more attractive pockets, cuffs and collars than those offered by the pattern for their garments. "The Perfect Secretary," a playlet with three sketches, designed to show the importance of good training in the business world, was given by students of shorthand and typewriting under Miss E. M. Palmer, in the school auditorium on Thursday. The cast included the following: managers or bosses, Ruth Harmon, Please Newman and Sumner Johnson; applicants, Lenore Gaither, Mirma Johnson, Lena Wright, Alice Allen, Edna Higgins, Grace Mor- SCHOOL CUTS TO BE PROTESTED AT MASS MEETING At a conference between George A. Parker, president of the Federated Parent-Teacher Associations; here; George W Beasley, president of the Federated Civic Associations and A. S. Pinkett, executive secretary of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., held Thursday afternoon, it was decided to call a joint mass meeting for tonight (Friday) at the Garnet-Patterson Junior High School to protest the slash of District Public School appropriations for 1934. Prominent speakers from each of these organizations will present the various angles of the effect the extraordinary cut will have. Mr. Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools, will be asked to give information of the actual needs for 1934. The total amount cut from the school estimates by the Bureau of the budget is $3,633,917 One third of that amount affects the colored schools. Mr. Wilkinson will be asked for details regarding the colored schools. If the Senate District Committee grants a hearing on the District bill, these organizations want to be ready to present their plea for additional appropriations to prevent serious handicaps in the public schools and back up the board of education in its demands to the Senate committee. ris, and Marjorie Kerrick.

SIXTEEN MORNING STAR LODGE PROTESTS BUDGET CUT Commends Senator Capper on Rent Interest; New Lodge Opposed The conditions here and the unwarranted slash of the budget for the District were discussed at the meeting of Morning Star Lodge of Elks. Tuesday night. The Rev. J. C. Olden, of the National Negro Legislative Council, offered the motion which was passed to commend Senator Capper for his interest and efforts to secure reasonable rents for citizens of the District. J. A. G. LuValle offered the motion to protest the cut of the District appropriations, on the grounds that it will hamper the schools and will increase unemployment and charity cases here. The motion was passed by a unanimous vote. Judge W. C. Hueston, national commissioner of education for the Elks, joined Morning Star Lodge as a full member and regular member. He formerly held his membership in Gary, Ind. He has decided to make Washington his home since resigning as assistant solicitor of the Post Office Department, and therefore moved his Elk membership here. Perry W. Howard, national legal advisor of the Elks, was an official visitor to the lodge, Tuesday night. He recited activities of the Civil Liberties League and asked that ten captains be appointed to head up a membership campaign. William B. Harris, exalted ruler, appointed the following committee: J. A. G. LuValle, Dr. Henry Heath, Morris Spencer, the Rev. J. C. O'Den, Nelson B. Simmons, Milton Jones, Lawrence Hargrave, Frank A. Lewis, Herbert Harris, John T. Rhines, Dr. C. Herbert Marshall, and Dr. Leon Holton. The Elks' Civic Club turned over $12 for the unemployment committee. This money was raised at a dance on April 1. The athletic committee reported $8.00 from its efforts. Clifton Byrd, manager of the baseball team, announced that he would start practice this week, and that he expects to secure the game with the team at Indianapolis, Ind., on parade day there in August. The band committee reported its arrangements to run an excursion to Atlantic City on Easter Sunday. The lodge passed a motion protesting the organizing of another Elks' lodge in the District. It is claimed that with Morning Star and Columbia in the District, and the Bruce Evans Lodge just over the line at Fairmount Heights, Md., these is no need for another lodge here during these days of depression. DRIVER FREED IN FATAL AUTO CRASH DRIVER FREED IN FATAL AUTO CRASH Ellis K. McPadden, of Ballston, Va., was freed by a coroner's jury Thursday morning in connection with the death of Robert Daniels, 12-year-old white schoolboy patrol member, who was crushed to death by a heavy trunck, Wednesday afternoon. The accident occurred at Fourand-a-Half Street, Southwest. The boy a sixth-grade pupil at Bowen School, was returning to school from his home, when he was killed. McPadden said the boy started to cross the street and ran back into the path of the machine. The left front wheel of the truck, heavily loaded with brick, passed over the boy's head. At the meeting of Columbia Temple, Daughter Elks, on March 27, the campaign for one thousand boys fostered by the Columbia boys' club was discussed. A meeting of the joint campaign committee was announced for Saturday, April 8, at the Elks' Home. Mrs. Georgeanna Henry outlined the plan. Mrs. Daisy Lampkin, field secretary of N.A.A.C.P., was a visitor, and spoke in interest of the association's membership drive. Daughter Ruler Marie Watson Swales responded and promised her whatever support the temple was able to give. Many daughters were welcomed back to the fold by the daughter ruler. Mrs. Retha Cooper spoke in interest of the Women's Congress, the first session to be held June 1, at Old Trinity Baptist Church. Thirty-four candidates were initiated, the degree work being performed by Deputy Altheya B. Williams. most emphatically that the boys and their counsel ought to be and would be protected at all hazards. Lynch Meeting Held From officers of the National Guard it was learned that a mass meeting, to which 200 young men of the community were invited by telephone, was held in a hall near the court house Tuesday night to protest against the manner in which Mr. Leibowitz has examined the State's witnesses." There was talk there, the officers said, of riding Bank Fire Waste Basket Blaze at Industrial Attracts Large Crowd A fire at the Industrial Savings Bank, Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest, Tuesday night, resulted in the loss of a waste basket of trash, a scorched petition, and a broken glass. The smoke and fire engines attracted a crowd of spectators. Engine Company No. 7 responded to an alarm and firemen smashed the doors to extinguish the slight blaze. The burning basket was carried out of the building. W. H. C. Brown, president of the bank, was awakened at his home and told of the fire. He hurried to the scene and stated after the blaze that the total damage amounted to about $100. He also said no records or other papers of the bank were destroyed. He said that the fire was probably caused by someone throwing a lighted cigarette into the basket. To Seek Ph.D. at Harvard A. head of the English Department, at Lincoln University, Missouri. Mr. Blue received both his A.B. and A.M. degrees in English from Harvard University, to which he will return next year to pursue work toward Ph.D. degree in English. the New York lawyer out of town and lynching the Negroes. Upon learning of the meeting, Captain Burleson sent several of his men to the apartment hotel where Mr. Leibowitz is staying and doubled the guard around the jail. Undercover men reported to Captain Burleson that the strategy of the lynchers, if they decide to flout the warning of the court, will be to start trouble at the apartment house to draw off the force at the jail. "We'll Be Ready" for Mob "We'll be ready for them if they come," said Captain Burleson, in charge of the guard. "Just because my men and I are Southerners and these prisoners are Negroes need not lead any one to think we won't do our duty. So long as we have a piece of ammunition or a man alive, those prisoners will be protected." John Thompson, solicitor of Jackson County, who prosecuted the Negroes at their first trial, said feeling was even more intense in Scottsboro today than it was two years ago, but that he had heard nothing of a lynching mob forming there. Scottsboro is more than fifty miles away. "There might be trouble though," he conceded, "if these Negroes are acquitted, or if the trial lasts too long. The first trial cost the people of Jackson County about $3,000, and this one will cost double that amount." White Residents Angry at Defense Despite the increasing impatience of residents of Jackson and Morgan Counties with the painstaking defense prepared by the International Labor Defense, Wednesday's proceedings were not marked by the slightest demonstration, not even when Patterson charged that he was "framed" at his first trial in Scottsboro. The crowd of countrymen in overalls and blue denim shirts listened attentively as Dr. E. Reisman, Chattanooga gynecologist, explained to the jury that when Victoria Price was examined two hours after the alleged attack, there was no evidence found that indicated that she had been assaulted. Skeptical of Woman's Evidence Skeptical of Woman's Evidence The medical testimony offered by the State against the nine defendants at Scottsboro and against Patterson here, said Dr. Reisman, was sufficient in itself to make a man of science skeptical about Mrs. Price's statement that she was attacked by six Negroes an hour and a half or two hours prior to her examination at Scottsboro. Wanted to Get Away Aside from the six accused and Dr. Reisman, the only other witness of the day was Perry Ricks, fireman of the freight train on which Mrs. Price said she was attacked. He testified that when the boys were taken off at Paint Rock by an armed posse, the two women seemed just as anxious to get away as the boys. "I saw them both running up toward the engine," he said. "Some of the men with shotguns came around and headed them off. Then they turned and ran the other way until another batch of men came up from that direction and stopped them." WILLIE PETERSON'S APPEAL UP APRIL 17 Alabama Supreme Court to Hear Case After Second Conviction BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Willie Peterson, convicted and sentenced to death on January 30, 1932, for the murder of Miss Augusta Williams, and Miss Jennie Woods, white, of this city, on August 4, 1931 will have his hearing before the Alabama supreme court on April 17. Peterson is being defended by lawyers retained by the Birmingham branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the national office of the association in New York. At his first trial when he was accused simply of murder, the jury disagreed and a new trial was ordered. At the second trial, in order to be sure to convict the defendant, the state attorneys accused him not only of murder, but of rage. The case has been full of drama from its beginning, even before his first trial, Peterson was shot down in the sheriff's office by a brother of one of the dead women when the family called to identify him. The brother was acquitted. Miss Williams and two girls were out riding when the shooter occurred. The surviving girl told a story that they had been "forced" to drive to a lonely road near the city, known for its petting parties, and had been "forced at the point of a gun" by a Negro to listen for more than three hours to a speech on Communism and the wrongs suffered by Negroes. The story is that Miss Williams finally tried to leave and was shot. No mention of rape was ever made until the second trial. Peterson was picked up on a Birmingham street one day as the surviving girl was driving by and declared he was the man. He has insisted that he knows nothing of the crime and was in another place when it happened. DRIVER, HALF HOUR LATE, CRUSHES BOY TO DEATH Robert Henderson, 7, 1628 Fifth Street, Northwest, was instantly killed Monday afternoon while crossing the intersection of Eighth and O Streets, Northwest. Bernard A. Hamlet, white, a Georgetown student, was the driver of the automobile which struck the boy. Following an inquest at the District Morgue, Wednesday, the man was exonerated when a jury brought in a verdict of accidental death. In a statement to Detective William J. Liverman, of the homicide squad, Hemlet declared he was on his way to the library at the time of the accident. He said he was a half hour late and was driving at a moderate rate of speed. He claimed he was due at the library at 1:30 p.m., and it was after 2 when he struck the boy. The white man told police he was driving about 22 miles an hour. He claimed the boy darted across the street, then turned and ran back. The body of the child was struck by the front bumper of the car which crushed him against the rear of another machine which Hemlet crashed into. Dr. Christopher J. Murphy, deputy coroner, who performed an autopsy on the body, testified that the condition of the boy indicated that his body had been run over by wheels. EXTRADITION CASE OF CRAWFORD TO BE HEARD THIS MONTH BOSTON, Mass.—The postponed hearing in the extradition case of George Crawford will be held between April 15 and May 1, it became known here Wednesday. According to the New York Times of Friday, John Galleher, attorney for Loudoun County, Va., has written to Attorney General Thomas E. Knight, of Alabama, chief prosecutor in the Scottsboro trials, asking advice on how to defend the jury system of the South. Galleher wrote that he was facing this difficulty in Boston in trying to return Crawford to face trial in Virginia for murder of Mrs. A. B. Isley and her maid. The whole jury system in the South, which for decades has excluded Negroes, is being challenged on all fronts and the attorneys of Virginia and Alabama are consulting together to devise ways of meeting the onslaught.

No More Beats Will He Tramp Cop Retires after 26-Yr. Service Officer Loftus, of 3rd Precinct and Former Messenger to President Theodore Roosevelt, in Government Service Forty-three Years No more beats will he have to tramp. John B. Loftus, veteran policeman of the Metropolitan Police Department, with a 34-year government service record, was retired Saturday from the police force after serving 26 years in that department. During the last quarter of a century Loftus has been attached to the Third Precinct, tramping one "beat" from the Avenue near the White House up to Dupont Circle, Northwest. A jovial familiar figure, Loftus was known to thousands of persons in that section of the city. Loftus became a member of the Metropolitan police force in 1907 upon the recommendation of Theodore Roosevelt and was assigned to the above precinct. Upon his passing from the service Captain Kelly, of the precinct, and his fellow co-workers presented Loftus with a beautiful easy chair. Loftus was born in Oxford, N.C., in 1870. He was reared on a farm and educated in the rural schools of that state and the high schools of the District of Columbia. When he was 21 years old, the late Democratic Senator Zebulon B. Vance was so impressed with his capabilities that he brought him to Washington and gave him a position at the United States Capitol, where he remained three years. In 1897 Loftus was appointed a messenger in the Treasury Department, from whi lphica of pPpu, ment, from which place he was detailed to the White House to serve in a similar role during the Roosevelt administration, which position he held until joining the police force. Loftus has the highest regard for the late President Theodore Roose- Pupils from the junior high schools or other schools who have completed a ninth grade academic course, or a ninth grade manual training course, or any similar ninth, grade course, which did not include typewriting and bookkeeping, are permitted to take beginning courses in these subjects in the tenth grade. All ninth grade work is accepted at full credit, no credits are lost, and no work will have to be made up. For such pupils graduation occurs at the end of three years, or upon completion of the work of the 10th, 11th and 12th grades. Upon entrance to the school, each pupil is given a curriculum guide sheet which facilitates the election of subjects to meet the purpose or objectives of the three types of curricula, and aids in the planning of a definite-purpose course of learning. Military drill is offered boys during the entire eight semesters. A diploma is awarded upon completion of eight semesters of work. Commercial Work Stressed The school has a new feature, a machine room, presided over by M. C. Clifford, teacher of commercial occupations. This room is equipped with all types of modern office appliances. The classes in commercial occupation are busy receiving practical experience and instructions in various types of duplicating letters, such as the hectograph using the gelatin process, the mimeograph using the stencil process and the multigraph embodying the use of the printers' type. Next advisory the classes will receive practical experience on the mimescope which is used in duplicating maps and drawings, the graphotype designed to make metal address plates, and the addressgraph. After the classes have mastered these machines, they will spend some time on the printing and per- personalizing of letters which includes the operation of the multi-graph, addressgraph and calculating machines, the dictaphone and other correspondence machines. The course will be concluded with instructions in the latest methods of filing correspondence. The school possesses one of the most modern and completely equipped chemistry laboratories in the public high schools of this city. The laboratory is of the new lecture room-laboratory type which permits complete control by one teacher. The equipment includes five 10-foot tile top student tables with sunken troughs in the center for reagent bottles instead of the old type shelves, a demonstration desk, preparation table, three fume hoods and a special-hydrogen sulphide hood with eight outlets for use in analytical chemistry. Miss A. E. Duncan, teacher in charge, is planning the introduction of several new units in the present chemistry courses. Two subjects have been added to the course this semester, journalism and mechanical drawing. The students in journalism are collecting news each week for the STATE OF NEW YORK velt, whom he learned to know while at the White House, and says that the end of his long dream has come true with the coming of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, another member of a long line of distinguished statists. He met the latter Roosevelt during his "beat" around Dupont Circle when the present President was assistant secretary of the Navy. Loftus is married, his wife being Mrs. Essie White Loftus, a native of Virginia. There is one child a daughter, Mrs. Ruth Jolie, who teaches at the New Bell School. The family attends Berean Baptist Church and lives at 1514 Kingman Place, Northwest. local newspapers and will publish a school paper very shortly.

GILMORE Funeral Service or Well Known Washingtonian Saturday Final rites for Mrs. Sallie Gilmore, who died Tuesday, March 28, at her residence, 142 Seaton Place, Northwest, were held at St. Mary's P.E. Church, Saturday afternoon. The Rev. E. Christian officiated. Mrs. Gilmore, the daughter of the late Charles and Eliza Sheppard, was born in Alexandria, Va., where she spent her early youth. She later came to Washington to make her residence, where she met and married William Gilmore. She displayed a neighborly spirit and was loved by all. Mrs. Gilmore is survived by a husband, William Gilmore; a son, Harry; two daughters, Ernestine and Kathryn Gilmore; two sisters, Mrs. Mary S. Brown, of Washington-D.C., and Mrs. Emily S. Hill, of Richmond, Va.; and a brother, Frank Sheppard, of Alexandria, Va. N. C. UNIVERSITY (Continued from page 9) black, connected with the case. Other Courts Recess to Hear So intense was the interest in the case, the judge in the criminal court recessed for Saturday morning and practically all the members of the local bar, colored and white, were in the room. The law faculty of the university and of Duke University was present, as well as many students from the two schools. The Negroes who had been running to cover under the steady propaganda of whites in the city and state, came out to see the battle and their whole attitude changed when they saw their young lawyers holding their own against the state attorney general. Thomas J. Wilson, registrar of the university, was the main witness and he was examined and cross examined by both sides. Hocut's lawyers finally got him to admit that Hocut had sufficient credits to enter the university. He was on the stand for nearly two hours and under careful and persistent questioning by McCoy and associates; it was shown from the catalogue that Hocut had done everything required for admission. Attorney General Gets Laugh On Tuesday afternoon when final arrangements were made, the court room was like a sardine box. A mass meeting of colored people had been held on Sunday and hundreds of people pledged backing for the fight. The spectacle of colored lawyers bravely and skillfully attacking the age-old jim crow practices fired the imagination and loyalty of the citizens who had remained quiet or hostile up to then. It turned out that not only were McCoy, Pearson and Hastie fighting against the attorney general, but they were up against brilliant legal minds on the law faculty of the university. The university's final brief was drawn with the assistance of Dean M. T. 'an Hecke and Prof. R. H. Wettach, of the faculty. In the final fifteen minutes allotted to him for argument, the attorney general drew an unexpected big laugh from the Negroes in the courtroom which effectively took the wind out of his ulcer. He pointed out that for 144 years the university had been for whites and he said: "I think there is a deep motive behind this suit and I think that motive is that this 'Nigra' wants to associate with white people." The speaker evidently thought he would get approval from the whites and fearsome silence from the Negroes. The whites did not say anything or change their expressions. The Negroes broke out into a loud, derisive laugh, and Judge Barnhill was forced to rap for order. Judge Barnhill's dismissal was in somewhat technical language. He held that the mandamus was not the proper remedy, but that if it were proper, the plaintiff had not sought to use it in the proper manner in his prayer for relief. This last reference is to the judge's contention that the petition should have asked not for admission to the university, but for the unprejudiced consideration of the application by the registrar. The hearings were marked with the utmost courtesy between all parties, except that all the whites, by one method or another, dodged the use of "Mistep" in addressing the colored attorneys. Mr. Hastie, a Harvard graduate, chatted with Harvard men on the university law faculty and with Duke university students who wanted to ask about the Harvard law school. At the close of the hearing Mr. Hastie thanked the court and bar for the courtesy they had shown a visiting attorney. In reply Judge Barnhill assured him that his court welcomed him and appreciated the high plane on which the plaintiff lawyers had conducted their case. building are devoted to the Cardozo Business High and the other ten rooms are allocated to the Grimke grade school, under Miss Edna M.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL CHICAGO, IL.-Two hundred and twenty-eight delegates, representing 156 Negro and white organizations, including churches, trades unions and other organizations met at a conference called by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights to map out a program of action in interest of Negro rights, including jobs for the Negro workers, for relief, for full social, political and economic equality, freedom of the Scottssboro boys, etc. The report given at the conference by Claude Lightfoot described widely the conditions of the 250,000 Negro people in Chicago. Following a discussion by the delegates, the conference unanimously adopted an "address of the 250,000 Negro people to to the City Council of Chicago," which is a platform of demands for the Negro people and decided to present this Address to the City Council, to the Negro aldermen and institute a broad campaign in support of this Address, leading to a demonstration on April 15. MASTER MIND (Continued from page 1) missive contained a map of the corner and indicated that the money was to be in small notes, none over $20 bills, and was to be secreted between two trees in front of the lot and hidden in a brick wall. Trap Planned Dr. Hawkins was in touch with the office of United States Attorney Leo A. Rover since the first letter was delivered and when the second letter came he again communicated with Mr. Rover, who sent two detectives to work out a plan for Dr. Hawkins to go to the spot. The fake package was arranged in the office of Dr. Hawkins with detectives. Earlier in the day he drove past the spot indicated in the letter and found that it conformed with the diagram in the last letter. At 1:05 Dr. Hawkins left his home alone and drove near the corner and parked his car. At the designated minute he drove to the spot, got out of his car, and placed the package behind the exact bricks he was told to. Then he left and drove around the corner. Mrs. Hawkins Ill Dr. Hawkins sought to keep the contents of the letter from his wife, but she was let in on the secret when an officer from the District Attorney's office called earlier in the week to go over the plans for the trap. Dr. Hawkins was out when the officer came and the policeman told Mrs. Hawkins he was from the office of Leo Rover. This aroused her suspicions and she demanded to know the man's business when her husband came. She was told of the plan to extort the money. Mrs. Hawkins has been ill for several months and the incident caused her to become worse. School Head on Spot In his confession Brokenborough said that he had planned to also extort money from Garnet C. Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent of schools. He stated that he had selected these two as he knew they had money. He first planned to extort money from Mr. Wilkinson, but switched to Dr. Hawkins when he realized that the latter was head of a bank and could secure the money more easily. Signed, "Master Mind" Each letter sent to Dr. Hawkins was signed "The Master Mind," and addressed to the "Honorable Dr. Hawkins." The man who lives in the 700 block of Gresham Place and is a taxicab driver, was arraigned before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage, Monday, and pleaded guilty to the extortion charge. On Tuesday he posted $2,500 bond and was released from the District Jail. The arrest was the first here under the "Lindbergh law," which was enacted following the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby. It concerns the sending of threatening matter through the mails, and it has been in force only a few months. Wealthy Men Sought Brockenborough said he had been employed at the Racquet Club for the last five years. He declared he had been casting around for "big Negroes" and had selected Dr. Hawkins and Mr. Wilkinson without any knowledge other than that both were considered wealthy. Officers to effect the man's arrest were Detective Sergeants Earl P. Hartman and Harry Britton. Brockenborough is from a good family and has a cousin who is a prominent attorney in a Western state. He has never been in trouble before and is still working at the Racquet Club, despite the fact that he is charged with the serious offense. He is related to the McCards, of Baltimore, who are well known in Eastern social circles, Attorney Perry W. Howard will represent Brockenborough when the case is tried. of the garments taken from the body and he readily identified these as belonging to the child. He also noticed that two teeth were missing from her mouth, which made identification certain. Child Was Pet He said he and Mrs. Boyd were very fond of the little girl and were raising her as their own daughter. He choked back tears when he told the juni how the child had been potted and spoiled by them and how she had cried the night the mother took her away from their home. BAPTIST CLERGY MAKE DONATION TO O.F. HOME The Rev. W. A. Taylor Preaches on the Magnetism of Jesus Monday was Stoddard Baptist Ministers Day at the Baptist Ministers' Conference in its weekly meeting at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. A collection of $26.14 was raised. The Rev. A. F. Elms, pastor of the People's Congregational Church, presented the proposed survey of men of the city as to what they are thinking about the church and its work. He said that the survey would be made by the Y.M.C.A. ar he invited the ministers to meet at the Y tonight, (Friday) to launch the survey. The Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church delivered the sermon to the conference. He spoke on "The Magnetism of Jesus, and used as his text: "The whole world has gone after Him." John 12:19. During his discourse the Rev. Mr. Taylor said that it was and is now, the common people who hear Him gladly. "If we had to depend on the elite or the four hundred for our support the pews would be empty. The common people hear Him gladly and if they leave us, it is just too bad," he said. "Selfishness," said the speaker, "seems to dominate the life of most people and the eternal question is: 'What is there in it for me?'" He said that Jesus did not offer money nor a job but said: "If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow me." The sneaker said the three factors in the magnetism of Jesus was His magnetic personality, His magnetic message and His magnetic ministry. Two new members were received into the conference—the Rev.

MOTHER ARRESTED (Continued from page 1) for the death of her child when a coroner's jury, Friday morning, at the District Morgue, after a short deliberation returned a verdict that Christina was killed by her. Walter Peppers, 1228 Delaware Avenue, told the jury a story of how the mother came to his house and took the child away from her aunt, Mrs. Carrie Boyd, of the Delaware Avenue address on Saturday night, March 11, and after returning told them she had placed Christina with her uncle, who lived somewhere uptown. Later the mother told James Oscar Jordan, 1329 South Capitol Street, that she had sent the girl to her father, who was living in Greensboro, N.C. Peppers said Mrs. Holdman came to the house Saturday and had an argument with Mrs. Boyd over a dress which had been washed. The dress belonged to the older woman and the latter protested the washing of the garment when it should have been cleaned. During the argument Mrs. Boyd slapped Mrs. Holdman. The younger woman left the house and returned about 8:45 p.m. The child had been undressed and sent to bed. The mother awakened the girl, who began to cry, and made her dress. She then took the child from the house. Bloody Clothes in Trunk On returning a short time later Mrs. Holdman stated that she had left the child with an uncle.

Wilson, chief of the homicide squad, testified that the girl's dress and undershirt had been pulled off and tossed in the sewer after the body had been thrown in. All of her clothes were bloody and a powerful blow had been struck the child on the head. Death was caused by a crushed skull. Deputy Coroner Christopher J. Murphy said.
