PARTY LEADERS URGE NEGRO APPOINTMENTS
Prominent Democrats Gather Here to Seek RUBY BATES TO TALK HERE
7 CENTS PER COPY
Prominent Democrats Gather Here to Seek Patronage for Race
Group Assembles at Local Hotel in Conferences Barred to Reporters
VANN, OF PITTSBURGH, IS SILENT SPOKESMAN
Says Results of Meeting Will be Given to the Press Next Week
BY GARLAND MACKEY
The gathering of a sextet of the leading Negro Democrats of the country in Washington this week in secret conferences, barred to newspaper men, started tongues aaging in political circles and Negro patronage took the spotlight. The group included Robert L. Vaum, silent spokesman of the six, editor of a Pittsburgh paper and prominent in the party ranks during the last campaign; Julian D. Railey, of Boston, who was in charge of the Eastern division during the Roosevelt campaign; Dr. William J. Thompkins, editor of a Kansas City newspaper, who was identified with the party in that section of the country; Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, another worker in the last campaign that sent Roosevelt to the White House; Elmer Hatton, of Boston; and Melvin Chisum, of Chicago.
Refuses to Talk
Although Mr. Vann was the spokesman for the group he refused to divulge the nature of the gathering and merely stated that there was "no news." However, those who are familiar with political affairs can readily read between the lines and know that the meeting of this famous sextet was far from being accidental.
Evidently tired of waiting on the President's pleasure to dispense the various plums to his colored workers the group is no doubt bringing pressure to bear on those who are in charge of patronage with a view of hastening the decision of the President.
Heading the list of jobs that will fall to the lot of the Democrats is that of recorder of deeds and register of the treasury. At present, Jefferson Coague, an appointee of Mr. Hoover, is holding the former position. The latter nominally belongs to Negroes, but has been filled with a white appointee.
M.ny Jobs Vacant
Then there is the miister to Haiti, who will have to be selected along with a collector of revenue in New York. In invariably a Negro has held the position as assistant to the United States attorney general and has been connected with the Department of Justice office. Another plum that has fallen to the lot of Negroes has been that of United States district attorney of Cook County, Chicago, as well as that of consul general to Madagascar, an Island in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Africa.
No Action Here
High local Democrats and those who will have charge of distributing District patronage, stated recently that no action will be taken on the smaller positions until the President has selected, two to fill vacancies here as District commissioners. However, it was let out some time ago that Armond Scott, a Washington attorney, was slated for the position of judge of the municipal court. His name was the only one definitely linked with any position. His selection, it was said, was due to his services with the party over a period of years when it was unpopular to be a Democrat.
William C. Hueston, who recently resigned as assistant solicitor in the Post Office Department, held another job that will no doubt fall to a Negro. With the coming in of Democrats, Mr. Hueston resigned to devote his time to the Elks and the Civil Liberties department of that organization.
Relligion makes a poor shroud after it has been used to a cloak.
There are always a few men who try to escape responsibility.

DOCTOR WRIGHT CONVICTED BY JURY
Charged with Criminal Operation on Mrs. Hairston, Who Died Later
The jury in Justice O'Donoghue's court, Thursday afternoon, found Dr. Clarence A. Wright guilty of performing a criminal operation on Mrs. Kathleen Hairston, 4503 Jay Street, Northeast, who later died at Freedmen's Hospital.
The testimony given by the dead woman's husband, Richard Hairston, and her two sisters, Mrs. Viola Nolan and Mrs. Mary Gorbam, was that Mr. and Mrs. Hairston went to see Dr. Wright at his office on Twentieth Street, Northwest, on March 20. After a consultation, Dr. Wright told Mrs. Hairston to return to his office on April 4.
Mrs. Viola Nolan, her sister, testified that she went with Mrs. Hairston, to Dr. Wright's office on April 4. He performed the operation and Mrs. Hairston paid him $10. The price was $25, but that was all the money she had. They returned home about 9 p.m.
The husband and both sisters testified that Mrs. Hairston became very ill that night and Mrs. Nolan said that she phoned to Dr. Wright the next afternoon and he promised to come out to see her sister, but he did not call on her.
Mrs. Gorham testified that she was with her sister all the time during her illness, and that she phoned to Dr. Wright to come and see her sister, and he would promise to do so but did not call.
The husband testified that he went to see Dr. Wright and the doctor told him that he had been out there but did not find the house. His wife grew worse and on April 12, he went to Dr. Wright again. This time the physician went out to the house but did not relieve his wife of the intense pain she was suffering.
That night Mr. Hairston called Freedmen's ambulance and his wife was sent to Freedmen's Hospital. She died the night of April 13, nine days after the operation.
Dr. C. H. Murphy, assistant coroner, who performed the autopsy, testified that Mrs. Hairston died from peritonitis, resulting from a criminal operation.
Mrs. Hairston was under the care

GIRL KILLED BY SWEETHEART WITH "UNLOADED" GUN
Estranged Wife of John Brown Fatally Injured Playing with Pistol
Mrs. Irene Carter Brown, 19-year-old wife of John I. Brown, 314 South Capitol Street, died at Freedmen's Hospital, Saturday, from a bullet wound in the chest allegedly inflicted by Lorenzo Robertson, 24, who was living with the girl at 217 V Street, Northwest.
The shooting took place April 6, while the two were playing with a loaded revolver. Robertson was ordered held for the action of the grand jury following an inquest at the District Morgue, Tuesday morning.
The girl's husband testified that he and his wife were married about 18 months ago, but were separated. He said he had seen his wife from time to time at dances, but was not contributing to her support.
Thought Pistol Empty
Samuel Small, who stated that he rented the premises where the shooting occurred, testified that the Brown girl lived at his house and cared for his three small children while he and his wife worked out.
Small also declared that Robertson lived at the house with the girl. According to a statement given police by Robertson, he claimed that he and the girl were playing with the revolver and he took several cartridges out of the pistol. Thinking that the weapon would not explode he pointed it at the girl and pulled the trigger twice. The first time the trigger snapped on an empty chamber, but the second time it struck a cartridge, sending a bullet into the girl's chest.
He ran from the room, summoned aid and helped remove the girl to Freedmen's Hospital. He turned the revolver over to Miss Olivia Taylor, a nurse, and remained until police arrived.
Said Girl Shot Herself
Small stated that after the shooting Robertson declared that the girl had shot herself. However, Officer John P. Zier of No. 2 Prescinct Station, told the jury that Robertson stated at the station that he fired the fatal shot while playing with the weapon.
An autopsy revealed that the bullet broke the spinal cord which caused complete paralysis, resulting in the girl's death, Dr. Christopher J. Murphy, deputy coroner, testified.

MRS TOLSON IS REFUSED DIVORCE
Justice Peyton Gordon directed that a decree be drawn up by attorneys dismissing the divorce suit of Mrs. Alice M. Tolson, wife of Philip Tolson, who was suing her husband for absolute divorce.
Justice Gordon reached his decision Thursday afternoon after hearing testimony in the case in which Mrs. Tolson charged that her husband was unduly friendly with Mrs. Josephine Simms Hall.
Mrs. Tolson's action was based largely on the testimony of a white private detective who said he trailed Mr. Tolson and Mrs. Hall in 1981, and stated that he saw the pair enter the former's garage on three occasions. His testimony was not enough to warrant a divorce, and the decree to dismiss the case was ordered by the court.
Attorney George E. C. Hayes represented Mr. Tolson, while his wife was represented by Attorney Jean Boardman.
Funeral services for Samuel I. Hawkins, who died at his late residence, 37 Quincy Place, Northwest, after three days' illness, were held from Frazier's Funeral Parlor Wednesday with the Rev. R. M. Williams, pastor of Asbury M.E. Church, officiating. The Rev. Ernest Green assisted.
Mr. Hawkins came to Washington at the age of twelve. He obtained employment as a messenger in the United States Supreme Court where he served for more than 12 years, and was later appointed head messenger in the Bureau of Internal Revenue. He received a further appointment as custodian and at the time of his death was serving in the mail division.
He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Louise Hawkins; a daughter, Gwendolyn; a brother, Henry A. Hawkins of New York City and a sister, Mrs. Bertha L. Herbert.
SCOTTSBORO TRIAL ATTORNEY SPEAKS AT ASBURY M.E.
Leibowitz Declares Case is Turning Point in Negro Life in America
By J. A. G. LuVALLE
"The Scottboro case marks the turning point in the life of the Negro in America," said Samuel S. Leibowitz, defense attorney in the case, speaking Sunday before a packed house at Asbury M.E. Church.
He appeared under the auspices of the Civil Liberties League of the Ells and more than 100 persons became members of the league at this meeting.
Denies He is a Communist
In giving the history of the case, Leibowitz declared that he was a Roosevelt Democrat and not a communist. He was asked in January to take the case. After reviewing the evidence and with a memory of the hatching of Deo Frank in Atlanta, when he was in college at Cornell, he decided to take the case and demanded that the occasion would not be used for the spreading of radical propaganda.
He said that the prosecution, led by "Sonny Boy" Knight, attorney general of the state of Alabama, whose father is one of the Supreme Court judges of that state, is trying to get him out of his case.
"But," said Leibowitz, "they won't get this Jew from New York out of this case until hell freezes over—not as long as the picture of Deo Frank remains in my mind. I am aiming to strike a blow in Alabama, not for the Negro alone, but for all down-trodden people everywhere."
The speaker denounced violence and intolerance. He said:
"No violence is necessary on the part of the Negro to acquaint the desired goal—only united effort. This case can be won through the courts, as was the Crawford case in Boston. It is a matter of holding on to the Federal angles of the case and staying on the backs of the South and its courts until they give in."
The speaker quoted Theodore Roosevelt as saying: "Between right and wrong, never be neutral."
He sid t when he pressed the Constitutional right of Negroes to serve on the jury, the prosecutor met him that night and told him that he, Leibowitz, could try the case anyway he pleased, but leave the constitutional contention out of the case.
He said he witnessed a scene at the Decatur trial that he could never forget. The prosecutor, Wright, applauded the testimony of a witness whose testimony favored the state, and "Sonny Boy" Knight; attorney general, jumped up and let out a whopee and clapped his hands. That was the attorney general's idea of justice.
With reference to Judge Horton's action in postponing the trial of the other defendants, indefinitely, because a Jew lawyer, and Jew money from New York would prove a millstone around the defendant's neck, he said:
"What about the prosecutor referring to Patterson as that black thing? What about disbarring Negroes from jury duty? What about Prosecutor Wright shouting. We will not permit Jew money from New York to buy Alabama justice? Is that not a millstone about the defendants' necks?"
He advised Negroes to unite for a hard, long fight and said that the struggle for human rights brings out this question: "Has Christianity failed in its pronouncement of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man?"
To Prepare for Mass March
Preceding the address Sophia Menken, of the National Scottsboro Action Committee, announced a meeting here Tuesday night to prepare for the 5,000 expected to march here Monday, to present a petition to President Roosevelt in the Scottsboro case.

PASTOR WHIPPED FOR EMBRACING CHURCH MEMBER
Well Known Minister Said to Have Kissed Wife of Parishioner
RICHMOND, Va.—The beating of one of this city's most popular pastors and leader of the exclusive First Presbyterian Church has stirred this town as nothing else has in many years.
It appears that the Rev. A. A. Hector had been ministering to one of his ill members, and while performing his ministerial functions became enamored over the charms of the daughter-n-law of the sick member and the wife of one of his leading parishioners.
On one of his visits to the home of his member, it is said that the pastor lost control of himself and suddenly and without warning to the young woman embraced and kissed her.
Husband in the House
It seems as if the pastor was unaware of the presence of the husband in the home. Hurrying up his visit to the sick room, where it is reported he offered up a hasty prayer, he returned down stairs and made an improper suggestion to the young lady who had in the meantime informed her husband of the former occurrence.
Is Severely Beaten
The husband, in another room, overheard the remark addressed by the pastor to his wife and like a holt of lightning accosted the offending preacher and gave him a sound thrashing. The preacher was badly done up and as he hastily emerged from the house he presented the appearance of a prize fighter who had taken the count and was badly in need of being taken to his dressing room.
Church Acts
It is reported that the church pastored by the badly whipped preacher sought to take drastic action on last Sunday to discipline the erring shepherd, but was not allowed to do so because of an objection by the Rev. Mr. Hector that the contemplated meeting was contrary to the laws of the church.
Further developments are expected, however, and Richmond is all set for the sensation which will follow the airing of this alleged misconduct on the part of the preacher.

DePriest Rebukes the House for Censure of Judge Lowell
Says Should Have Waited for Decision of Higher Court; Seeks to Amend Constitution to Permit Transfer of Cases Out of States
Members of the House were criticized sharply Wednesday by Representative Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, for "premature" adoption of the resolution sponsored by Representative Smith of Virginia to investigate charges against Judge Lowell, who had granted a habeas corpus writ to George Crawford in Boston.
Mr. DePrest declared the adoption of the resolution was "hasty and ill-advised." He introduced a resolution calling for an amendment to the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution to give Federal courts authority to transfer a case to a court in another state, when it is determined that the defendant would not be given a fair trial because of race prejudice, or for any other reason.
Mr. DePriest declared that the House should not have acted on the impeachment resolution until the appeal of the state of Massachusetts from Judge Lowell's decision had been settled. His amendment resolution says:
Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled (twothirds of each House concurring therein). That the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution is hereby amended, when ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States, and shall be valid to all intents and purposes as a part of the Constitution, by adding to section 1 thereof the following sentence: "To insure to all citizens the equal protection of the laws and a fair trial when charged with crime, the courts of the United States are hereby given jurisdiction to determine, on proper application of any defendant who is charged with crime, whether such defendant's Constitutional right to the equal protection of the laws and to a fair and impartial trial is prejudiced by considerations of race, color or condition or the disadvantage of such defendant, and the said United States court shall have power, subject to the right of appeal as in other cases, to transfer the trial of such case to such other jurisdiction as in the judgment of the court will insure a fair and impartial trial.
Asks for Square Deal
"All I'm asking for is a fair deal for the colored race," said DePriest. "If we are good enough to fight for this country, we are good enough to enjoy its citizenship." The Congressman declared that "No member from the state of Virginia can rise on this floor and say that any Negro has served on a jury in Virginia in the last quarter of a century, whether petit jury or grand jury."
Regarding Crawford, he said: "If Crawford is guilty he should be punished, but for God's sake indict him with a legally drawn grand jury."
He declared that the resolution was designed to prevent repetition of the Scottboro case, in which the United States Supreme Court overruled the trial court because Negroes were not permitted to serve on the jury.
In introducing his resolution Mr. DePriest made a short speech and obtained permission to extend his remarks in the Congressional Record. His extended speech with accompanying tables and quotations occupies five and a half pages of the Record of May 3.
In addition to discussion of the recent Scotteboro case he mentioned the Crawford case, the Elaine, Arkansas, case, the Massie case, and gave the lynching record for 1927, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931 and 1932.
In his closing Mr. DePriest said: "He who stands idly by, knowing these conditions to exist, will be guilty of contributive negligence in not routing this monster of race prejudice evidenced in many places where it cannot be controlled but occupying too serious a place in our governmental and court procedure of the land.
"In the interest of America—great, shining, proud symbol of freedom and of liberty and of opportunity, of which 12,000,000 men and women, boys and girls, of my racial group are in integral part—let us stand up like men and women and uphold law and order and see that every man has a fair trial, equal opportunity, and a chance under the sun to have an existence. Only by such action on the part of the American people can America free itself of this odious institution and maintain the confidence and respect of that 12,000,000 American Negroes and also of the rest of the civilized world.
"It is already being said that we have no right to criticize Germany in her attitude toward the Jews, nor point the finger of scorn at Russia in her attitude against a certain class of her population, until we do justice here in America to every man, woman and child who lives beneath the folds of the Stars and Stripes. We should remove the beam from out of our own eyes before we try to take the note from the eyes of the rest of the world."

Big Display of Electric Refrigerators at Jordan's
Jordans', located at Thirteenth and G Streets, Northwest, marshals in the summer season the largest electric refrigerator display in Washington. The entire fourth floor has been turned into a refrigerator department and it is possible to see a complete display of the five leading styles at one time. This idea, executed by the management, is to facilitate the usual difficulty in selecting an electric refrigerator, as it is unnecessary to go from store to store to select the type of refrigerator one would prefer in the home. Courteous representatives of the company are glad to explain fully in detail the specifications each of the five electric refrigerators on display at this store. The five displays consist of Norge, Kelvinator, Leonard, Majestic, and Iceomatic. All are being sold on the budget plan.
The Jordan company also carries a complete line of radios and pianos of leading makes.

Under Guns
Negro Women Must Work
for Food Relief from
U.S. Funds
NEW YORK—Negro women in Jackson, Miss., are being worked under a gun for the little food they receive from the unemployment relief organization of that city according to word received here by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The complaint also states that colored women and men are being sent to work in private families for their food only. Protests on the armed guards over Negro women workers on "relief" projects were sent to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, whose funds are being used in Jackson, and to Senator Robert F. Wagner, who is deeply interested in direct relief for the people, by Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. An immediate halt to the practice was demanded.

7. That the Graduate School beginning in 1934-35 offer proper opportunities for genuine graduate work, including graduate courses in home economics and education, when conditions permit.
8. That the courses in music and art be continued as at present for the next academic year, and that a special committee be appointed to study and report upon the re-adjustment of these departments and their courses both to the graduate and undergraduate schools.
9. That the correspondence, evening school, and College of Religion courses be discontinued at the end of the present academic year (1932-1933), and that the School of Religion thereafter proceed as a graduate school only.
10. That the quarter system be dropped at the end of the spring term of 1933, and that hereafter the academic year for all departments of the university be divided into semesters.
11. That the summer sessions be discontinued immediately.

13. That a committee of five be appointed to consider the establishment of a basic salary schedule for officers of instruction and administration throughout the university, and to report its findings with appropriate recommendations at the fall meeting (1933) of the board.
14. That it be the policy of the university, during the present crisis, to continue the employment of as many of those at present on the teaching force as possible, and to meet budget requirements and compulsory retrenchment by reduction in salaries rather than by dismissals, and that as far as the budget will permit, an effort be made to absorb elsewhere in the university, at least for the time being, those teachers whose departments of study are discontinued. The board also adopted a permanent policy concerning the tenure of all employees of the university.

Howard University co-eds in an open letter to Dr. Mordecal Johnson, president, and the board of trustees, demand the retention of Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee as physician to girls. Dr. Ferebee was recently dismissed presumably as an economy move by the university.
The letter to the president was signed by 12 women students, with Miss Rietta May Hines, president of the Women's League, leading the list.
Young women who are students are protesting against being examined by a male physician and pointed out where such is the case the students or their parents select the physician.
The letter suggests to the president that Dr. Ferebee's services be retained part time as well as the services of Dr. Allen.
The letter follows:
HOWARD UNIVERSITY
Washington, P.C.
May 2. 1933
AN OPEN LETTER TO DR.
MORDECAI W. JOHNSON,
PRESIDENT, WOARD.
We, the women students of Howard University, are aggrieved over the action of the administration in dismissing Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, the university physician to women students.
We understand very thoroughly why Dr. Ferebee was appointed, that was in answer to a protest raised by mothers and daughters against the fact that physical examinations which are required by the university were given by a male physician. The same need which Dr. Boulding was appointed to fill still exists and cannot be filled by any male physician. It is quite true that women, as a rule, are attended by male physicians, but in that event they have the privilege and the opportunity of making their own selection.
There can be no question of Dr. Ferebee's qualifications, or efficiency, or personality, or interest. She has served the women students capably and painstakingly. We, therefore, demand that her services as physician to the women students be retained.
It is rumored that her dismissal is done in the name of economy. If this is true, then, we should like to suggest, in the name of what is fair to all parties concerned, that Dr. Ferebee be retained as part-time physician to the women students, and Dr. Allen as part-time physician to the men students.
The fact that this letter bears the signature of only a few members of our body by no means indicates an opposition on the part of those who have not signed. We can, if necessary, produce the signatures, we are sure, of the majority of the women students.

(N.A.A.C.P. Press Service)
NEW YORK. - Overnight the George Crawford extradition case which started out quietly to be a simple effort of Virginia to take a Negro from Boston back to Virginia and try him for two murders, has become a nation-wide sensation in which the Southern system of denying Negroes their rights as citizens has been sharply and successfully challenged by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
Southerners in Uproar
No sooner had Judge James A. Lowell granted a writ freeing Crawford on Monday than the state of Virginia was in an uprising, shouting not only for the blood of Crawford, but for the head of Judge Lowell. General William D. Mitchell, close friend and neighbour of the murdered woman, announced that he had started impeachment proceedings in congress through Representative Smith of his district.
Both Mitchell and Smith are ranting against Judge Lowell, claiming he has "violated" the Constitution, when it was Mitchell who told an N.A.A.C.P. investigator "if we had caught Crawford just after the crime there would have been a burning." Congressman Smith, also very pious about the Constitution, comes from a district which admits that it violates the Constitution by barring Negroes from juries.
Indicment Held Faulty
Attorneys for the N.A.A.C.P. headed by J. Weston Allen, former attorney general of Massachusetts, have brought out something new in cases of this kind by advancing the argument that all action against Crawford is illegal and unconstitutional because he was indicted for murder by a grand jury from which Negroes are barred. They contend that no matter how fair a trial Crawford might get in Virginia, that state has no legal right to take him back and try him because the indictment is faulty and will not stand before the United States Supreme Court. The question of whether Crawford is guilty or innocent is, for the time being, in the background, to be determined at his trial.
The state of Virginia has admitted in the Crawford case that Negroes are barred from jury service in Loudoun County and throughout the state and the officials of Loudoun County have admitted that no Negro has ever been considered or examined for jury service.
Qualified to Serve
The officials also admit that they know Negroes in the county whom they believe to have all the qualifications for grand and petit jury service. There are 272 qualified male Negro taxpayers in Loudoun County and never has one ever been called for jury service. On the basis of this admission and upon the U.S. Supreme Court decision in the case of Neal vs. Delaware, in which the court held that barring of Negroes from jury service made a conviction null and void, Judge Lowell granted a writ of habeas corpus, freeing George Crawford.
However, the State of Massachusetts appealed to the circuit court
of appeals and Crawford was held in $25,000 bail pending the hearing. The circuit court of appeals hearing has been set for May 23. It is likely that the case will go to the U.S. Supreme Court for final decision.
N.A.A.C.P. Hits Congress Action.
In a statement on the impeachment proceedings in congress, the N.A.A.C.P charges the House of Representatives with attempting to take over the function of the courts.
"The recent action of the House of Representatives," says the secretary, "in attempting to impeach Judge Lowell for his decision in the Crawford extradition case in Boston, is an attempt by the House to set itself up as a court of review on Judge Lowell's decision and anticipate the answer to the habeas corpus question which is now pending before the United States circuit court of appeals.
"This habeas corpus question will not be settled finally until it has been passed upon by the United States Supreme Court. Under the Constitution and theory of our government, the right and power to decide questions of law on appeal belong to the courts and not to Congress. The attempted impeachment of Judge Lowell has suspicious earmarks of an effort by southern representatives to stir up public emotion and by publicity to attempt in influence the court's opinion.
"Many lawyers contend that Judge Lowell was simply following decisions of the United States Supreme Court which have established by a long series of decisions, running as far back as 1879, that exclusions of Negroes from grand and petit juries is unconstitutional and that indictments and convictions by such unconstitutional juries are void. Other lawyers have a different opinion. It is up to the courts and not to Congress to settle the question.
"Incidentally, in this connection, it will be noted that the House appropriated immediately the sum of $5,000 to investigate Judge Lowell's decision, a matter in which it has no concern, but this same Congress could find only $1,000 to appropriate to investigate the ruthless robbery, exploitation and virtual slavery of Negro workers in the 'Mississippi leece camps which are being financed by government funds."

GROUP MEETS FAMOUS
SCOTTSBORO ATTORNEY
The student body of the law school of Howard University and a group of lawyers most of whom were graduates of the Howard University Law School met with Samuel Leibowitz of New York City, famous attorney who defended the Scottsboro boys at the Decatur, Ala., retrial in the lecture room of the law school on Sunday afternoon. The meeting was sponsored by Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the law school.
Mr. Leibowitz gave the students an accurate account of the high points in the Scottsboro retrial case and particularly explained why he went at such lengths in the examination of the jury roll of the jury commissioners of the county and called as witnesses colored men to show them qualified to serve as jurors in order to lay the foundation for an appeal to the United States Supreme Courts under the constitution which guarantees its citizens fair and impartial trials by juries of their peers.

The Elks' Million-Dollar Drive
As announced in these columns last week, the Elks' educational department is undertaking a national drive for the purpose of raising $1,000,000 to be used as a revolving scholarship loan fund, to be loaned to deserving students who are pursuing courses in the colleges and universities throughout the several sections of the country. Certainly, this is a worthy effort. For many years educational drives have been carried on for the purpose of erecting buildings and paying the salaries of teachers so that now we have some well equipped universities and colleges manned by well-prepared men and women. This equipment, together with the various faculty organizations, should be used and used intensively, and the students should be sent to the colleges.
Eight years ago the Elks' organization began this work and has successfully carried it on, collecting from the membership over $100,000 and disbursing the same as the records show, in the accomplishment of the above purpose. One hundred eighteen students have been supported, 45 of whom have graduated, 14 of this number have made the Phi Beta Kappa Key. These students have gone into life's battles and now in turn are aiding others.
In addition, the Elks' department has sponsored and carried on thousands of oratorical contests, aimed at committing all of the high school students to a study of the Constitution of the United States, with the hope that out of this study will come a complete understanding of the genius of our government.
The Elks' commissioner of education, Judge W. E. Hueston, who lives in Washington, has elected to begin this effort in our city, having fixed the modest sum of $10,000 as our share. Certainly this sum should be raised and no one should object, so let all get behind the Elks' campaign committee and raise this sum for the benefit of the youth of the race and nation.
The Elks have been generous in that they have extended this aid to all irrespective of whether the students aided were connected through kinship ties with the order. It is now the public's turn to be generous. While times are hard, each can give something. Let's do it.
Victor Daly on "Green Pastures" in the Crisis
The Washington Tribune is given credit for its reporting of the recent jim crow showing of "The Green Pastures" in a feature article by Victor Daly in the May issue of the Crisis Magazine. The article entitled "Green Pastures and Black Washington" is an accurate and timely account of what the author calls "a crisis in race relations precipitated by the coming of de lawd."
The writer's description of Washington as the cultural and intellectual center of the Negro group is done with cleverness. It leaves the reader wondering whether the author intends purposely to be facetious, whether he is poking fun or whether he is sincere in his characterization of local society.
Among other things he comments that it would be too much to expect so much intellect as exhibited here in Washington ever to be in agreement. He interjects the remark that Washington is the city of the white collar, rather than the white coat.
A National Bank
Enthusiasm ran high at the mass meeting, Friday night, when the plans of Conservator Brown, of the Industrial Savings Bank, to organize a national bank here were placed before the large crowd.
Subscriptions have passed $50,000, and it looks as if the Negroes of Washington are to have a real national bank.
Since the closing of all the banks in this country on March 6, the office of the Secretary of the Treasury and that of the comptroller have co-operated with the Industrial Bank in its reorganization program.
The fact that Mr. Brown, the president of the bank, was appointed conservator for the Industrial instead of a white man is significant of the confidence the administration has in the honesty of the bank staff and in the ability of this staff to carry on.
With a national bank organized and chartered the colored citizens of Washington would have a medium through which they could carry on their own financial transactions and have also a depository for their small accounts that would render a real service to them.
EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE
Fully three-fourths of the depositors have accounts so small that if there is not a Negro bank here, thousands of Negroes would be barred from banking facilities.
A national bank can place one-half of its capital stock in U. S. Government bonds and take the bonds to the treasury and have that amount of bank notes issued with its name on them and place the money in circulation; in the meantime, the bonds are drawing three per cent or more of interest.
This is an opportunity for every Negro here who can afford to invest $25 or more, to purchase one or more shares of the capital stock in the proposed national bank. The conservator promises that if the full capital is not sold, every dollar will be returned to the person subscribing.
Therefore, the money is safe if the plan goes through, and it is safe if it does not go through. There is nothing to lose. Now for the national bank. How many shares, please?
What Our Newpapers Need
At the annual meeting last week of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, the following resolution was adopted:
"Resolved, That it is the concensus of this society that editors should devote a larger amount of attention and space to explanatory and interpretative news and to presenting a background of information which will enable the average reader more adequately to understand the movement and the significance of events."
While it is true that there has been great improvement in the editorial and in the news columns in the matters referred to in the resolution, yet much is lacking even in the daily press, while, in our own press, except for such explanatory matter as may have been previously set out in the daily press, the news articles frequently raise more questions than they answer.
In the matter of background and collateral information, the case is far worse. Such information is obtained mainly from one or all of three sources; viz., (1) memory, (2) reference books, or (3) what newspapermen call "the morgue." The morgue is regarded now-a-days as a most essential part of a newspaper's equipment. It consists in the main of clippings from its own columns, and from other papers and magazines and even books. These clippings are filed and properly indexed so that all previously published information on a given subject or concerning a given person may be secured and used for information and background.
It is a pretty safe statement that not a half-dozen of our weeklies have anything resembling such a source of information. Reference books, such as cyclopedias, statistical almanacs, who's whos, and biographies, are nearly as scarce as morgues. As a result of these lacks, both news and editorial columns in our papers are sadly lacking in value—for the present or for the future.
The fault lies mainly, of course, in those who have control—whether individual owners or a board of some sort. The excuse is usually lack of means, yet the same owners invariably find means for high-priced cars and up-to-date clothes, and other non-cessities. The fact is, we are lacking in pride and are satisfied with the slack doing of things, especially intellectual things.
The very excellent article, "Would-Be Gods," on the editorial page in our last week's issue, should have been credited to our talented and profound contributor, Miss Beatrice M. Murphy. Her name was omitted by mistake.
A BRONZE POET DIES (Dirge)
Life tempted with her fairly fields
Life tempted with her fairly helds
Of pleasant flowers and fruits,
Nor warned him that the harvest yields
Mean crops from bitter roots...
To Life and Love he sang his song,
An earnest benediction--
Life pressed on him her weight of wrong
And Love—her crucifixion;
Upon the tree of human hate—
As Christ was crucified—
By those who scorned the apostolate
Of Beauty—and he died.
When Life took Love from out his breast
And Hope from out his eyes,
Then Faith fled from her mortal nest
And God from Paradise.
Why weeps Erato at his bier
On pillows soft-indented:
Knoweth she not her dead love here
Was never once contented?
Fair goddess, weep not of his art
True to its troth of trust—
Brown earth reclaims its own brown heart
As his songs dissolve—in dust
INCOMPATIBILITY
By Coleman G. Duckett
The heart can voice no vain protest
In some smooth-chiselled, flowing rhyme,
Or cherish an image in the breast;
And dumb to charming phrase or jest
Obeys one passion at a time.
The vulture of prolonged abuse
Devours the flesh of Love's handmaiden;
The crushing weight of wrong subdues
The gentle pulse of singing Muse,
But a cadaver grin—hate-laden.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. FRIDAY. MAY 5. 1933
Kelly Miller Says
We Have No Decisive Voice in Determining the Policies of Our Institutions of Learning
The Chief Purpose of the Great Educational Foundations Now Supporting the Negro's Higher Institutions of Learning Is to Perpetuate the Existing Order.
The late Julius Rosenwald stated that he was "miseducated" in the public schools. Dr. Carter G. Woodson has collected a series of essays under the title: "The Miseducation of the Negro." Lord Macauley used to take the title of an author as a point of departure, using it as a pretext to indulge his own dissertation upon the suggested theme. Prof. Horace M. Bond has made an adequate review of Dr. Woodson's book in the April number of the Journal of Negro Education. I shall discuss the subject as if the book had not been written.
The higher education of the Negro in private schools may be divided into three periods: (1) under support and tuition of Northern philanthropy, with religious aim (2) the Armstrong-Washington regime, and (3) under direction of the educational foundations.
The early philanthropists posited a definite aim and ideal. They sought to make the Negro a Christian and to give him as much of the so-called higher learning as he was able to take so as to make him serviceable in the uplift and reclamation of his race. They borrowed the classical curriculum, which had proved itself effective for the needs of the choice white youth throughout the European world.

THE EARLY PHILANTHROPISTS
DID NOT ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL
Their ideology was definite and certain, Ware of Atlanta, Tupper of Shaw, Reynolds of Lincoln, Cravath of Fisk, Matoon of Biddle, and Patton of Howard lived, labored and died in the faith. Although they did not reach the goal aimed at, it would be sacrilegious to refer to their work as "miseducation."
Armstrong and Washington formulated a different ideal, and aimed at a different objective. With them, religion as a dynamic was relegated to the rear. They looked upon Ngroes as a peasant class destined to till the soil and perform hand work as their fixed places in the social and industrial scheme. By industrial education, they would make them industrious, thrifty, well behaved, helpful, and not harmful to their well fellow citizens, and comfortable in their circumscribed sphere of life.
Their program fitted this objective. They also died in the faith. But the World War, the mass production by machinery and the inevitable rise of technocracy frustrated their ideal and confused their program. Although the whole scheme of education must needs be reformed in the light of changing conditions, it cannot fairly be called "miseducation" but rather education which became outgrown by the shifting demands of the age.
THE GREAT FOUNDATIONS HAVE CONTROL NOW
After the seeming failure of the religious objective and the collapse of the industrial interregnum, came the last stage of higher education under manipulation and control of the great foundations, whose chief objective is to keep things going so as to uphold and perpetuate the existing order.
The Negro is encouraged to the higher education mainly to serve his own people on the professional level and to keep the peace between the races. They have no abstract ideal. They do not profess to know what is to be the black man's place in the final scheme of things. They have no ideology but would keep the Negro satisfied and happy as the days go by. To this end Howard, Fisk, Atlanta and Dillard have been smothered with millions of donations to help sustain in his present status the Negro rather than to direct him to any definite goal. Call this not "miseducation" but rather prudent education.
The late Booker T. Washington is the only Negro who has impressed any dominant influence on the educational program for his race. Neither under the old philanthropy dominated by Northern missionaries, nor under the new dispensation dominated by the Northern boards has the Negro any decisive voice as to the educational policy for his people.

NEGROES IN CHARGE BUT
DO NOT CONTROL POLICIES
Although Negroes have been largely put in charge to man these institutions, yet they have little more to do with general policies than the captain of a ship is permitted to dictate the policy of the company which operates the line. I purposely did not mention the upper level of public education in state schools and colleges. This must needs be under supervision and control of Southern white educationalists who fix the programs to adjust the Negro to his allotted sphere and placement in the general social scheme. Nor yet can this properly be called "miseducation" when we consider the means and method calculated to reach the end in view.
The fallaciousness of most educational theories—a fallacy under which, I fear, Mr. Woodson also labors—is that they look upon the

The fallaciousness of most educational theories—a fallacy under which, I fear, Mr. Woodson also labors—is that they look upon the educational process as an end in itself rather than as a means to an end. Education is not a primary, but a secondary process. After the objective has been fixed, education tells you how to reach it. It does not tell you where to go, but how to reach your avowed goal.
It requires genius, philosophy and statesmanship to find and posit the ideology. The great difficulty today with Negro education is that the race has no ideology. We still await the genius, the philosopher or the statesman to tell whither, before we may expect the requisite pedagogy to tell us how. Till then our higher education will founder in a sea of uncertainty, justifying such startling titles as "The Miseducation of the Negro."
Digesting the News
By Clifford C. Mitchell
SELECTED NOTES
A good study of economics can be had by any one who closely follows records and digests the daily events over a period of months or years. Here is a note or two from my own compilation.
****
Congress and the various state legislatures, in some instances with seeming haste, have passed practically all of the appropriation bills, and definite arrangements have been made for relieving unemployment by the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars in new projects.
Those who have been employed have been dismissed wherever it was possible, while the remaining employees had their wages cut to the bone.
All the financial institutions were gone over with a fine tooth comb. Frozen assets and liquid assets became household terms. Withdrawing of deposits and borrowing on insurance policies were restricted, while the "hoarding" campaign relieved the commoner of the few golden assets he possessed. Temporary moratoriums became popular and all debts, generally, were extended. But now the master minds, seemingly, enter and while everybody and everything is picked clean and to prevent the commoner from sharing in the increased expenditures about to be made, a new device is thrust upon the people. They call it the natural law of supply and demand—commodity prices go up and the dollar goes down. Methinks it is a law of curpidity and stupidity.
And to keep the people's minds diverted from serious thinking on the subject the press is filled with other thought-provoking subjects and the commoners are all stirred up with racial and factional prejudices.
***
Through it all the Negro is merely a pawn. The emotions of millions of people are spent in kicking, abusing, denying and humiliating the Negro while the latter keeps the pot boiling by throwing combustible material upon the flames. Our press is filled with outrages, divorces, scandals, protests, anti-movements, "Back to the Farm," "Back to the South" and every other form of sensational development. We now need to concentrate on a campaign of "Back to the Senses" and get our minds on the everyday realities of life if we expect our race to progress. In this world today, and America in particular, conditions are too serious for the Negro to be wasting his time chasing fantasies caused by Americanized propaganda, hokum and rackets.

A Voice from the Middle West Pleads for Justice and Equality To the Editor
Justice and equality, that is what the people of the United States want. Oh! Where is justice; who is getting justice today? Please answer that. Why must the farmer lose his farm and home? Why should those who have mortgages take advantage of these hard times to foreclose on property? Where is their Christianity? Losses, certainly, they are having losses, who not? Thank God our Government is trying to do something for the people at last. Just listen to those few who are the money power. Why do they not take their losses like every one else? It's their turn now. They must not have so much power, as to rule the world, their rule is a rule of greed and does the majority of the people no good.
Justice and equalization for all, that's what we want. May our courageous President, keep on with his good works, and may God give him strength to deal with these money changers according to justice.
All they see is their gold—the wretchedness and misery of the people, bahl. Why, they sit like Nero and play and enjoy life, and let the people burn. It is to be hoped that money power will be taken away from those few and placed where it should be, in the hands of our Government.
The people can take the law in their own hands as they are doing in Iowa. It is not "hang justice" there; it is, hang the judge.
(Mrs.) Geo. E. Gangkow, Wells, Minnesota.
Five minutes of thought is often equal to an hour of hustle.
Form good habits—they're as hard to break as bad ones.
It's the news that isn't fit to print that makes a lively evening.
Why Not?
By Beatrice M. Murphy
I guess every little boy has dreams—at some time or other—of being President, and every little girl wants to become great. It seems to be a human quality to desire fame and fortune and wealth. But all of us can't be Presidents. For there must be some to admire and respect the great; and there must be some to wait on and be ruled by the President.
So we divide ourselves into classes and circles. Those who became "Presidents" or what they wanted to be, those who became "near Presidents," the middle class who had Presidential possibilities, and the lower class who had no intention of becoming and never tried to become President.
We draw distinct class lines and move within our appointed circles. To cross the line and attempt friendship with someone above you is presumption, and with someone intellectually below you is to risk losing your position.
And I wonder whether in the end it is going to make so much difference what circle you belonged to, as to what you did with your position to help both yourself and the fellow who needed it.
Fit Your Particular Duty into Life's Scheme
It was a great dramatist who said, "Somebody must clear away the muck of the world." I like that expression, for after all it isn't what you do, but whether you can fit your particular duty into the scheme of life, find out the necessity for it, and then—make the most of it.
It's all right to pick up your skirts and step daintily over a pile of debris, but unless there's someone willing to clear it away, it will soon be too high for you to lift your skirts over.
And the man who clears away the debris is as much one of God's children as you or I. He has the same loves and hates. Pain and tragedy are just as real and sharp to him as it is to you. No, he doesn't wince at everything that you do, because he has learned to distinguish between the real and the unreal, between that which is superficial and will wash off, and that which will not.
So the big question is not, what is your sphere in life? but, how are you filling it? Are you stamping your name indelibly on the walls of the palace in which you work? Are you making a thing of beauty of the material given you? Perhaps your sphere is four narrow walls when your heart is calling for the great outdoors, but can you make that room live and breathe the atmosphere of your soul? Can you change what others see as commonplace into a shrine of beauty where your soul can find its inspiration, and your heart its peace and happiness?
Reflect Cheer in Your Little World
After all, the world in which you spend most of your time is the world that reflects you, and if there is within you a desire for light and beauty and cheer, you'll find a way to express it all in your little world.
Perhaps you've got a big soul and a tiny place and mediocre materials with which to express it, but it can be done. The possibilities are as big as the desire; and
If you don't put all the happiness and beauty and sun that you're capable of into the world in which it is decreed you must live, you'll never have it in your life. You'll become warped and starved and shriveled. Worst of all you'll become bitter. I know that some people say they get their happiness out of giving it to others, but if you can't create it for yourself, how can you give it to someone else?
We never know when we're going to wake up and find that life has changed for us and we must carve a new niche—take a new position. Life is made up of things like that. And it really doesn't make much difference, whether it is on the roof or in the gutter. Both have to be filled.
So if life sets as a task the cleaning of the gutter. I want to say with the poet—
"Somebody must clear away the muck of the world, Why not I. Lord, why not I?"
This and That
War speeded up trade and industry, but it speeded them up on credit. War never pays its own way. It sets people and capital to work at high pay, but it borrows the money to do it, and sends the bill to Peace. We are paying the bil today.—Alice S. Cheyney of the Washington Brach of the International Labor Office.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Judge Lowell Defended
Speech of the Honorable Robert Luce (Mass.) in the House of Representatives, Wednesday, April 26, as reported in the Congressional Record.
Mr. LUCE. Mr. Speaker, as I have already informed the House, Judge Lowell not only is my constituent but also through many years has been my personal friend. I served with him in the Massachusetts Legislature, and then in a long drawn-out constitutional convention, and had close opportunity through all those years to watch the man and the workings of his mind. I know him; and I desire here to testify that I know of no man in the state of Massachusetts who stands higher in the respect of those who know him than James A. Lowell.
I testify that he is a man of exceptional intelligence; that he is a man of perfect probity; that he is a man with the highest regard for justice; that he has filled his office honorably; and that all suggestions that this episode is part of a career of misfeasance are absurd. Of course, men will be found who have appeared before him and who thought they had right on their side while his decision was contrary. Some of them will doubtless come forward and question both his judicial capacity and his integrity. Has not that been the fate of my friend from Virginia while he sat on the bench?
Always the defeated litigant complains. Otherwise he never would have gone into court.
Decision Did Not Satisfy Mr. Smith
The only valid charge, the only charge with which any proof is presented is—and I deny that telegrams from disappointed litigants are proof—that in one instance, one instance in all his long and honorable career, he made a decision that has not satisfied the gentleman from Virginia
Now, sir, picture to yourself what will be the course of events if we establish the precedent that because a lawyer, disappointed and chagrined by the judgment of a judge, feels that he ought to pursue the case, he may come to Congress with his contention. Do you think it wise that he shall be encouraged to come to this House and ask that the case be tried over again? How many hundreds and thousands of cases would be brought to Congress if you once set forth the idea, spread the idea, and laid down the principle that a disappointed illigant may have an appeal to the Congress. Why, you would crowd the docket of the Committee on the Judiciary with hundreds and thousands of cases if you proceeded on this novel principle.
Had the Judge No Precedent?
Sir, it has not been my fortune to have read the official documents of the case. I know nothing of the arguments as made in court. I can only submit to your consideration whether it is to be assumed that a judge in making a decision has had no law on his side to defend that decision; that he has not given due weight to precedent; that he has not exercised his function as a judge to decide between the opposing views of counsel.
The gentleman asks us, because he presents one side of the case, to assume that there is no other side to the case.
If, however, it should be taken for granted that any litigant, any lawyer, who loses out in his suit may then come here, let us further consider, if I may venture so far as to follow the same line of argument that the gentleman himself has presented, whether it is the province of a judge to determine what will be the treatment of an accused man when he is taken beyond the borders of a state. Let us face that issue squarely.
Would We Surrender a Jew to Hitler?
I am going to ask every man here to ask himself this question: "If tomorrow Germany should ask President Roosevelt to extradite and send to Germany a Jew, would I vote to support the President* if he did it?"
This is a definite, specific question you may ask yourselves. Will you vote to support a proposal to send a man charged with crime into a neighborhood where it is believed he cannot get justice? Why, only a few days ago we read what went on down at Scottsboro. Let be clear and fresh in your minds. There they had to resort to that practice of the law which is known as a change of venue. What is the basis of a change of venue? Why is it provided? How does it come about that a man may be tried in some locality other than where the crime was committed?
Judge Has a Right to Consider
The basis of it is the fear of prejudice, the fear of injustice, the fear of unfairness, and inasmuch as you have that principle in the law of change of venue, I ask you why you, would deprive a judge anywhere in this country of considering the question raised by the principle involved in that issue, I maintain that a judge in Wisconsin or a judge in California or a judge in Massachusetts has the right to consider whether he will cause a man to lose his life by sending him into a hostile environment for trial. I make no charge against Vir-
IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
By C. LESLIE FRAZIER
A Good Book Is Certain to Reach Its Market.
"Man Wants But Little," a first novel by Wilson Wright, was published ten days ago, quietly and without any ballyhoo, by Albert and Charles Boni.
Not a single line of advertising has been given to this book, yet, within less than two weeks, the first edition is exhausted, a second edition, due this week, will be sold out before ready, and the third edition was put on the presses today.
Reviewers have compared "Man Wants But Little" to Thornton Wilder's "The Bridge of San Luis Rey" and "South Wind" by Norman Douglas.
At any rate, there is much joy in their offices in seeing their confidence in this "dark horse" well confirmed.
Opportunity Awards
The announcement of the Opportunity Literary award for 1933 will be made at the Opportunity farewell dinner to be given for Mrs. Pearl S. Buck on May 5, at the new school for social research, 66 West 12th Street, New York City. The judges for the award are: Miss Fannie Hurst, novelist, author of "Back Street," "Humoresque" and other novels; Sterling A. Brown, professor of English literature, Howard University; and Richard Walsh, president, John Day Publishing Company.
The Rebirth
Look! O my soul, at the budding tree.
And see God working through nature
The same God that created thee
And every living creature.
Trees that have slept the long winter through.

Are finding new life again,
The grass and the flowers, too—
Then why lot men?
Listen, O soul of mine,
To the birds that sing,
Giving praise to the power divine
That brings again the rebirth of
Spring.

"You may think I am only planting a tree," Said Johnny Jones to Lettie Lee, "I'm planting a place for birds to nest.
I'm planting shade where folks may rest,
I'm planting a picture lovelier far

I'm planting a place to hang our swings,
Oh, I'm planting ever so many things.
When I plant a tree!"
When I plant a tree!

ginia. She has a right to be proud of her institutions, but we understand that Virginia views this particular question from a point of view other than that of a man from a Northern state. We have felt that there are parts of this country where, by reason of his color, a man does not get a fair trial. We understand that in some parts of this country jurors are not selected with due regard to the constitutional provision that there shall be no debarment of any man from his rights as a citizen by reason of his color, the provision that says no state "shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
Unlikely to Get Evenhanded Justice
We do not attempt to answer the social question. We know the difficulties that are involved. We sympathize with our friends from the South. We do not pretend to be wiser or holier than they are. We do not advance that issue at all. We face the fact—the fact that a colored man sent from a Northern state and charged with crime will go into an environment where he is unlikely to get fair and evenhanded justice. By the records we can show this to be the case. So, sir, we maintain that there is no ground for impeachment to be found in the fact that this situation is recognized by a judge in another state.
You are asked to go to great expense and take much time in investigating this issue. We do not evade the issue. It is your pleasure to invite the precedent that is involved therein, go ahead and do it. We know this judge can defend himself to the satisfaction of that committee and exonerate himself. We know what the report of that committee will be. If you are unwise enough to force upon them the labors involved, very well, but we ask you to start out at least with an open mind, to start out at least with knowledge that you have heard only one side of the case, to start out by treating this judge as fairly as you want to treat any other American citizen.

At its regular meeting, May 15, Hiram Lodge, F.A.A.M., will celebrate its eighty-fourth anniversary. The auxiliary of the lodge will join with the members, after lodge is closed, in making the anniversary a fraternal success. The lodge will be closed at 8:45 p.m., and the auxiliary and their friends will be admitted at 9.
The lodge has been divided into three groups and a lady of the auxiliary, with an officer of the lodge, will head each group: viz., Group 1, Mrs. Rosa F. Robinson, the president of the auxiliary; Group 2, Mrs. Catherine Brown, assistant treasurer of the auxiliary; Group 3, Mrs. Lillian B. Gee, sergeant-at-arms.
Richard A. Whaley, the worshipful master, will lead the procession into the lodge room. The deputy grand master, Louis W. Roy, a past master of Hiram Lodge, will deliver the welcome address to the guests of the evening.
A strong literary program will be furnished, including the following:
Instrumental music by the pianist, Mrs. Mabel Flegler; vocal sols by Mrs. Naomi V. Evans and others; duets by Messrs. R. A. Whaley and George Flegler; readings by Mrs. Lizzie McDuffie, of the White House, and the artist, Mrs. Edna French, of Prince Hall Chapter.
The anniversary address will be delivered by the grand royal patron, Edward E. Weymys; the "badge of honor" will be presented by the grand royal matron, Mrs. Lula U. Lewis. The principal after-dinner speech, at the banquet table, will be delivered by the grand associate matron, Mrs. Jennie Brown Lee. Response to addresses by A. S. Pinkett.
The thanks of the auxiliary will be conveyed to the house and friends by Mrs. Lillian B. Gee, sergeant-at-arms of the auxiliary. A similar conveyance, at the banquet table, will be made by Mrs. Sally M. Stockston, ex-president of the auxiliary.
Every member of the lodge is urged to be present and to have his wife there at 9 p.m. The grand master and his cabinet will be invited and be expected to take their honored places.
Richard R. Whaley is worshipful master, and Elias G. Evans, chairman of the activity committee.

On Tuesday night, May 10, Miss E. F. G. Merritt, retired supervisor of the public schools, will deliver the last of a series of lectures before the association on problems concerning parents and young people. Previous speakers have been Dr. Francis Sumner, of Howard University, and Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.

Young Transport Pilot Joins Ranks of Scottsboro Defense
C. A. Anderson Offers Services in Fight for Victims; Brings Amsterdam News Reporter to Washington
(From Amsterdam News)
A blue and gold cabin plane dipped gracefully from the cloudy skies above Washington Sunday morning and slowly circled the dome of the nation's Capitol building.
The roaring machine straightened its course and headed south across the Potomac, and its shadow—momentarily cast by a peeking sun—moved directly across the Capitol dome and darkened the lonely figure which graces the top of the building. It was the Shadow of Scottsboro.

The plane was piloted by Charles A. Anderson, 26-year-old vicepresident of Aviation Service, Ardmore, Pa., and only Negro transport pilot in America, and was flown to Washington to carry a reporter of The Amsterdam News to a monster mass meeting on the Scottsboro case.
*****
ANDERSON, who manages Aviation Service's flying field at Ardmore, volunteered his services to William H. Davis, publisher of The Amsterdam News. In making his offer, the young pilot wrote:

I will be glad to do all within my power...to assist in the fight which is being made to save the lives of these boys."

Anderson's modest letter is indicative of the flyer's character and outlook on the field of aviation. Conceded to be the best trained Negro pilot in the country, the youth is one of the most retiring workers in the game. Born in Bryn Mawr in 1906, Anderson received most of his training in the immediate vicinity of his home. He received his transport pilot's license in February, 1932, after more than five years of training and 400 accredited hours in the air.
He is repelled by the sensational features of the game and deplores the constant use of ballyhoo by Negro flyers, which, he believes, has frightened interested members of the race away from the field. He regards flying as a profession and is still taking lessons (in navi-
gation, blind flying and radio),
despite the fact that he is flying
instructor himself at his Ardmore
field.

Despite a strong head wind, Anderson flew the monoplane from Newark to Washington in two hours and 45 minutes. The flight was made in a comparatively straight line, as the young aviator is well versed in the science of navigation and does not follow the usual railroad and highway routes of less experienced flyers.
Anderson believes that aviation, like all other fields of endeavor, must do its part to see that "The Scottsboro Boys Must Not Die!""

Federated Civic Association Endorses National Bank Plan
At the regular meeting of the Federated Civic Association at the District Building Friday night, the federation passed a motion endorsing the plan to reorganize the Industrial Savings Bank into a National bank and will ask each member association to support the reorganization committee in its stock selling effort.
The observance of President's Day on April 30 was endorsed by the federation.
The legislative committee was directed to make a study of home loan mortgage legislation and report on this at the next meeting, May 26. This committee was directed also to join other civic organizations interested in development of community center legislation.
While recognizing the need for a national Negro lobby to insure the adequate representation of the Negro before Congress, the federation endorsed the National Negro Legislation Council in principle but declined to act beyond general cooperation.

As the dancing season advances, fraternities, sororities, and clubs seem to compete with others in an earnest endeavor to entertain their friends to the best of their ability.
Each week finds a new entry on the social calendar. Tonight (Friday), the Phi Beta Sigma will entertain their friends in the beautiful dining hall of Howard University overlooking the clear blue waters of the reservoir. The following Friday, May 12, the Omega Psi Phi will have their spring prom in the Masonic Temple. Last, but not least, climaxing the dancing season, the What Good Are We? club, known far and near for its unique costume dances, will greet its friends on Friday 19.
Of course, many other dances are scheduled in between, which will be mentioned as they occur.
Last Friday evening was spent very pleasantly with the Chi Delta Mu fraternity, in the Masonic Temple auditorium. The Happy Pals of Richmond, Va., furnished music for the occasion and proved quite entertaining.
When the last strains of "Home, Sweet Home" were played, many of the fraternity members and their friends wended their way over to the Crystal Caverns, where breakfast was served and a special vaudeville performance was given. The party broke up as old Sol put in his appearance over the horizon. Another dance passes into the land of oblivion to become a pleasant memory with the cry "on with the next dance" heard in the distance.
Mrs. Manie E, Hall was hostess at a very pretty bridge party when she entertained a number of her friends at her home, 1327 Fifth Street, Northwest. The house was beautifully decorated with ferns and cut flowers and a color scheme of orchid and yellow was used in table decoration and service.

DRIVE ORGANIZED FOR NATIONAL BANK
8,000 Depositors in Industrial Could not Get Service in Other Banks
A capacity crowd greeted the organization committee of the proposed national bank at the mass meeting Friday night at Garnet-Patterson Junior High School. The total subscriptions to the capital stock was increased to more than $55,000. Jesse H. Mitchell, first vice-president of the Industrial Savings Bank and chairman of the reorganization committee opened the meeting with a brief history of the bank.
He said that it was organized in 1913 with $5,000 as capital, it was later advanced to $25,000 capital, then to $40,000 and later on to $50,000 capital. It has paid six per cent dividends for the past thirteen years and was a safe and conservative institution.
Ministers Endorse, Plans
W. H. C. Brown, the conservator for the Industrial and its president, reported that the plan for a national bank had been endorsed by the ministers' conferences here, that the school officials were cooperating in the effort to establish a national bank. Howard University was cooperating and had lent Professor Jesse W. Lewis, head of the department of commerce and finance, to assist the committee. He presided at this meeting. Mr. Brown further stated that the fraternal societies and civic organizations are co-operating and the reopening of the Industrial Bank as a national bank seems assured. He assured the people that every dollar subscribed would go toward the capital stock of the bank and if by any chance, the full amount
was not subscribed, every dollar would be returned to the perrons who had receipts for amount paid in.
Not an Experiment
"This is not an experiment," said Mr. Brown; we have a trained staff to operate the bank and it is not like trying to open a new project as an experiment."
"This is the most important undertaking that the Negroes of Washington have made," said Mr. Brown, "and it is the last stand of the Negro to carry on business."
He stated that there were more than 10,000 depositors in the Industrial Savings Bank and fully 8,000 of them could not get banking facilities at any other bank.
Perry W. Howard praised the past performances of the Industrial staff and said that we should congratulate ourselves on having such a staff of officers that one of their number could be placed as the conservator.
Five Reasons for Bank
The Rev. E. L. Harrison, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church, gave five reasons for organizing a national bank: first, we should do it in self-defense; second, it is our duty to do it; third, it is a good investment; fourth, now is the best time to invest and fifth, it shares with the community in distributing dividends.
Mrs. Marie Marshall spoke of the service the conservator plan is rendering depositors.
John C. Bruce, director of the 13th division of the public schools spoke encouragingly of the plan for a national bank.
Elder Michaux Approves
Elder L. Michaux, pastor of the Church of God, spoke highly of Mr. Brown's financial ability and told of his long service as a bank official in Norfolk and Newport News, Va.
The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, spoke of the fine co-operation of the Treasury Department with the Industrial and with Mr. Brown as conservator.
Meetings are to be held each week until the $200,000 capital stock is subscribed. Individual workers are being placed in the field for personal solicitation and stock selling.
EIGHTY GOLD STAR
MOTHERS SAIL
JUNE 23
Capital News Service
Eighty colored Gold Star Mothers have signified their intention of making a pilgrimage to France and England, sailing from Hoboken, New Jersey, at noon on Friday, June 23, to visit the graves of their soldier dead in the American Cemeteries located near Paris and London.
In March, 1929, Congress passed "An act to enable the mothers and widows of the deceased soldiers, sailors, and marines of the American forces now interred in the cemeteries of Europe to make a pilgrimage to these cemeteries." The fund of more than $5,500,000 was made available until 1934. Investigation and research located approximately 12,000 eligibles of whom 774 were colored women.
Upon invitation of the War Department, as provided by the act, 206 colored women have made the pilgrimage during the past three years.
In 1930 two parties made the six-week trip from their hometowns to France and returned. In 1931 two additional groups were escorted to France, and last year, 1932, the fifth group, numbering 42, sailed on June 16 and returned to New York on July 11, after a two weeks' stay on French and English soil.
The sixth and last group of colored women to make the pilgrimage will meet in New York City on Wednesday June 12 and sail on Friday, June 23 for Cherbourg, France, on board the American steamship "American Banker."
The party on arriving in France will be divided into six groups, each group to visit one of the following cemeteries: Meuse-Argon-Marne, Suresnes, all in France; and the Brookwood Cemetery, in England 28 miles from London.
Social Workers to Meet Here Next Week
Social workers from Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, and West Virginia have been invited to participate with their associates in the District in a joint conference of the Maryland State Conference of Social, Welfare and the Council of Social Agencies, which will be held in Washington Friday and Saturday, May 12 and 13.
An extensive program of addresses and discussions will occupy the morning, afternoon and evening sessions Friday, with a morning session Saturday. All meetings will be held in the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Building.
"Social Trends and Social Responsibilities" is the theme of this year's assembly and the many acute problems of emergency relief as well as those relating to welfare needs will be under scrutiny, according to Mrs. W. A. Roberts, executive secretary of the Council of Social Agencies.
The program committee has secured leaders of social work from various parts of the country to aid the Maryland-Washington speakers in presenting an all-round picture of the situation.
Victor Daniel Mentioned for Virgin Islands Post
A movement, originating presumably in Baltimore, has been started to have Victor H. Daniel, head of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute, at Ridge in Southern Maryland appointed governor of the Virgin Islands.
Mr. Daniel, a Virgin Islander by birth, is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, a former instructor there and is regarded as one of the group's most outstanding specialists in agriculture and health education.
Following his work at Tuskegee he served at Western University, Kansas City, and later spent seven years at Bordentown Training School in New Jersey.
In 1924 he went into a neglected Negro Catholic community eighty miles below Washington, to establish a school where the underprivileged children of that district might be given training in industrial work and modern farming. The initial enrollment was thirteen, but since has grown to a point where it serves a rural community of 1100 families. The Virgin Islands were acquired from Denmark in 1917 at a cost of $25,000,000. They lie about 50 miles east of Puerto Rico with a total area about two and one half times that of the District of Columbia. The population census of 1917 showed 1,922, white; 19,523, black; 4,563 mulatto; total 26,051. The language is English. The population has diminished steadily under U.S. sovereignty, and it now 15 per cent less than in 1917.

Charles Edward Mitchell, ex-Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the United States to Liberia, recently tendered his resignation to the State Department. Mr. Mitchell, in an interview with the writer, stated that in his opinion it would be well if some of the young Afro-Americans would seriously consider the American Foreign Service field as a life's work.
Captain S. E. (War Dept.) Epps was one among the many Federal Employees who heard Samuel Leibowitz, the New York attorney who headed the Scottsboro boys' defense at the Decatur, Alabama trial, when the latter spoke last Sunday afternoon at Asbury M.E. Church on the program of the Civil Liberties League of the Elks.
****
Trezvant (P.O. Dept.) Anderson, who was supposed to be covering the Leibowitz speech, was on the Anacostia tennis court with the writer and Tomkins (State Dept.) Ricks and Wallace (State Dept.) Carter.
The night previous Andy barely missed being shot as he was going into the Lincoln Theatre. He picked up the flattened 38 caliber bullet and still has it in his possession.
Cole (War College) Shepperson, who played a jam-up game at guard during the basketball season, has been transferred to Fort Myer and has—I understand—made the polo team.
* * * *
William (Navy Dept.) Ricks, Snowshoes (Liberty Loan) Scott, and Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis, Jr., are all receptive to the idea of organizing an interdepartmental golf loop.

William T. Parker and "Sandy" Garland who were recently made clerks over at the Department of Justice will probably be the key men around which that department's tennis team will be built. Archie Smith, "Chief Justice" Butler and Leonard Helm will probably play, also.
*Joseph (War Dept.) Yearwood, a New York importation, curve-shot bowling specialist, ace tennis-server, and pocket-billiard "shark," has decided to play with the State Department racqueters, as has "sure-shot" Robert (Interior) Bates.

The writer has learned from a reliable source that the situation, in connection with the 30-year retirement law (at this writing) is as follows:
"The Independent Offices Appropriations bill was reported to the House of Representatives Tuesday. It carried a legislative provision authorizing selective retirement of employees who have served thirty years, regardless of their age, upon recommendation of the heads of executive departments and independent establishments."
It did not carry any reference to exemptions, or differentials for any particular class or type of employees. No additional provision was made for the retirement of employees who had served less than 30 years. A limitation for the selective proposal outlined will be placed at two years.
"Three and one-half per cent contribution will be deducted from annuity of employees retired under the above proposal until they reach the optional age of 60, 63 and 68 for the respective groups.
"Re-employment of employees retired under the emergency proposal will be authorized."
Compulsory retirement of all who have served thirty years would have affected more than 20,000 Government workers, approximately 4,000 of whom are in Washington. The selective provision protects many of the most valuable employees of the Government. It is estimated that some 65 per cent of the supervisory force in the postal service are included in this 30-year class.

*Gipp (G.P.O.) Gibson is glad that his office has returned to the five-day week. Contptroller General McCarl recently ruled that: Government Printing Office employees are entitled to 15 days of the annual leave they earned in the fiscal year 1932, prior to the passage of the old Economy Act, and may use it at any time during this or the next fiscal year.
George H. Carter, Public Printer,
announced soon after that the
five-day week will be resumed in
the G.P.O. Four hours will be
charged to each employee each
Saturday, and taken from the
"earned" leave.
Edward (Treasury) Scott, militant
and energetic president of
Local No. 71, of the National Fed-
ration of Federal Employees says:
"The National Federation" of
Federal Employees is YOUR or-
ganization. It deserves your loyal,
active, continuing support. Become
a member now and interest your-
self constructively in the many
phases of the Federation's work."

James A. Jackson, Small Business Specialist in the Department of Commerce who more than any other one man has made Washington college, fraternity men business-conscious through his influence in and through the Phi Beta Sigma fraternity, is well thought, if by the Washing Insurance Managers' Association. The association at, a recent meeting, voted to file a petition with the Secretary of Commerce for the continuance of the Small Business Bureau of that Department of which he is the head.
Mr. Jackson, as has been mentioned before in this column, not only received his appointment as a result of creditably passing a civil service competitive examination but also has many letters of commendation from high army officials expressing appreciation for his service in the intelligence unit of the army. He has letters from many business men of note complimenting him upon his excellent work within the department, as well as many favorable press comments.

Robinson, however, is the only one playing baseball with the Colored Government Baseball League.
L. A. P., in the Daily News, Monday, May 1, writes:
"If optional retirement becomes law the favored many with fat salaries, official and political influence and backing will be continued in the service and the little fellow will be forced out. Therefore, it is better for the one person to be retired on $1,200 per annum annuity than to have two persons thrown out of work without any income at all. Most of the latter class are family people with small children whereas the others do not have small children," with most of the work?

Note of Thanks to My Friends and Wellwishers
The writer has always taken a rather cynical attitude, whenever some optimist of the group speaks of the growing sense of race solidarity and co-operation among the younger members of the group. I am happy to say, however, that my recent "forced vocation" and the moral and material assistance offered to me by many friends and mere acquaintances during its tenure, and after, was a revelation to me. It is, or rather has been, a tendency among the members of our group to kick a man when he is down. It seems to me that this tendency is being dropped.
I hope that the majority of my readers share my sentiments along these particular lines.

Times are getting better. All signs are pointing in the right direction. The downtown sections are crowded with buyers. Many Stylish models of new cars are zipping over the highways. Beer is back. Unemployment is receiving a body blow; and the sun is about to shine on both sides of the street. Happy days are here again! How's that for a new deal?
Soon we will be enjoying ourselves spending the money that will be circulating so freely. That will be the time to remember hard times and depression. Remember your lessons of bad times and use them to advantage in good times. Spend your money so that it will do you, your family and your race some good.
In by-gone days, money was spent carelessly because of the price lure. No heed was paid to race employment, local investments, or other serious matters. The money flowed out of town in a steady stream, a few crumbs falling to menials. When times got bad, these were the first to go. You were left holding only the bag.
Good times are about here again. Now, what are you going to do? How are you going to spend your money this time? Here's a tip.
Buy from those who employ Negroes. Buy from those who cater to Negro patronage. Buy from those who spend their money to advertise in Negro newspapers. They are the ones who leave some money in town for you, your children, and your race to secure and spend.
Read The Tribune when you get ready to buy something. Spend your money where it will do some good. Patronize the advertisers in this paper, and we especially invite your attention to the advertisers on this page.

Girls of Three Centers to Have Scouts' Contest
The instruction class in Girl Scout methods will soon be over at the Burrville Community Center in a week, and the first tenderfoot requirements will be given to girls representing the Burrville and Dunbar Community Centers and Southwest House respectively. The Southwest House director has informed the writer that the girls there have been organized for quite some time and that Miss Gladys Ward who has charge of the other groups in preparation, has the troop under control The girls, from all indications, are about ready for their tests and will be reviewed as soon as the instruction class is completed. This group will act as council for review.
Many prominent women have taken an interest in the development of the work and have enrolled in the group which will soon be recognized as the only functioning group here in the District to review the work of the colorec troops. Miss Ward is largely responsible for the work that is being done in this field.

Can the management of the luncheonette give any good reason for having Ross Freeman and Alfred Palmer thrown in the hoosegow, or is it another of his barrelhouse methods of showing courtesy to his clientele who no longer have money to spend in his joint? The dark Rialto is looking for some sort of an apology, for after all, Negroes do have a sense of honor.
That a certain well known collector of numerals who is often seen dining at the Green Parrot is "on the lam" because when he became slightly inebriated while spending an evening with one of the big shots, he blabbed about a proposed number racket hold-up. The exponents of the law were waiting for the boys, and as a result, is B. H. on the spot? And how! That, according to our good friend, Secret Service Operative No. 13, the Penn Relays were held last week in Brandywine, Md. News to us! Or is this new addition to the Department of Justice merely hiding his tracks from those terrible criminals whose work he is investigating? Do tell us, kind sir; we're on pins and needles as long as you persist in keeping us in suspense.
That our very worthy colleague, George E. Waugh, actually had the wherewith to pay for food in the luncheonette one night last week. Can you imagine that? It all happened like this:
Sister had friends down from New York for a few days. After taking in the show, the group, little George included, decided to get a bite to eat at the luncheonette. When the bill for ninety cents was presented and sister reached for her pocketbook, George spoke up "Oh, sis, I have it. Don't bother." Did the lady from New York faint? You bet. (Or was Georgie making an impression with the lady? We wonder.)
That on the last day of the month or the first day of the month, it is impossible for almost any working person to get around on F or G Street. The cut doesn't seem to worry many of our elite teacher 400. You're out of my class, ladies; my hat is off to you. That in a certain third grade a pupil in our grand school system came in after 12 o'clock recess smelling as if he had visited Sixth-and-a-Half Street.

SCOTTSBORO BOYS "MUTINY" IN PRISON
EDITOR'S NOTE.-Various accounts of the so-called "mutiny" of the Scottsboro boys, now in prison in Birmingham, appeared in the press last week. The final account, appearing in Saturday afternoon papers is given below, also an account in an L.L.D. release received Monday.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—The nine Negro prisoners in the Scottsboro assault case, who vioted and have held their "day cell" in Jefferson County jail against county authorities, were starved into submission, Sheriff James F. Hawkins said Saturday.
The Negroes sent word from their barricaded cell to Warden Erwin at 10 a.m., today, asking for a conference. The warden was summoned from his home.
(Later it was reported that the boys surrendered unconditionally. Ed.)
The Negroes, who for 36 hours had shouted taunts and threats at their jailers from their partially wrecked cell, pleaded for food today, though still refusing to surrender their weapons, which consisted of broken pipes and cell furniture.
Sheriff Hawkins ordered a meagre serving of cornbread and water to the cell. It was the first food the Negroes had taken since their revolt Wednesday. This diet, the customary one for violators of jail rules, will be continued until the Negroes surrender their weapons, the sheriff said.
No violence from the outside has been indicated, and no special precaution has been ordered by the sheriff.
Demand "Justice'
The immediate cause of the riot appeared to be the action of jail authorities in placing a partition in the jail which cut off their view of a group of Negro women prisoners and of Negro visitors who have come to the jail in large numbers since the case became a cause celebre.
Demands for "justice," however, were intermingled in their shouted complaints and threats.
Night Warden W. J. Williams wanted to use "the water treatment" on the prisoners.
Calls it "Mole Hill"
"I could get them back in their cells quickly with a fire hose," he said.
News of the riot was conveyed to newspapermen by the sheriff and deputies. The sheriff referred to the incident as "a mountain made out of a mcle hill." He said he had assured the prisoners they were getting fair treatment, "even fairer, than that given most prisoners." They replied with threats and taunts, he said.
By International Labor Defense
BIRMINGHAM—The Scottsboro boys were brutally beaten in their cells last week. Sheriff James F. Hawkins sent out word that they had "mutinied" over an order for bidding them to receive visitors, but this very order itself prevented any honest account coming out of the jail.

10-Cent Liquor

POLICE "ITCH" TO CRACK HEADS OF MAY 1 MARCHERS
While scowling policemen and plainclothes men looked on, less than one hundred members and sympathizers of the Washington Unemployed Council, a branch of the Communist party of America, gathered at Rhode Island Avenue and H Street, Northwest, Monday, and marched to the District Building, where a delegation presented demands to the District Commissioners for unemployment and other relief.
Most of the marchers were young men hardly out out of their teens, while a sprinkling of young women and children made up the paraders. About a dozen colored youths were in the line of march.
Heavy police guards moved on each side, in front of and behind the marchers. The police outnumbered the marchers two to one.
Police Ignored
The paraders were orderly, and when police gave orders they obeyed promptly and then promptly ignored the strong display of armed force which surrounded them.
Many officers were plainly "boiling over" at the spectacle of white and colored marching side by side, and several of the police were visibly "itching" to use their clubs on the heads of members of the group.
When the group set up a yell of "Free the Scottsboro Boys," a loud burst of cheering and hand clapping greeted the cry. Spectators also cheered lustily when the group yelled for the freeing of Tom Mooney.
Placards with printed signs demanding unemployment relief, and urging Negroes and whites to join to fight "Roosevelt's New Deal of Hunger" and others were carried by the marchers. One very conspicuous placard, at the front of the parade had the words "Down With. Jim Crow."
Told of Police Clubs
At the District Building a delegation was selected to present resolutions to the Distric Commissioners. Dr. Luther Reichelderfer received the group. Sidney Phillips presented demands to the commissioners and reminded them that other parades had been stopped by the clubs of police. Charles Spencer, representing the International Labor Defense, told the commissioners of brutal treatment accorded colored persons and asked them to send a telegram to President Roosevelt urging him to intercede for the nine boys in Scottsboro. Dr. Reichelderfer pointed out that relief measures are now before Congress and he refused to take any action for the Scottsboro youths. The paraders disbanded after being told the results of the mission.

Mr. Edelin lives at 303 Eleventh Street, Northeast, with his ninety-two year old aunt, Mrs. Emma Powers, and his daughter, Miss Sophia M. Edelin, a teacher at the Shaw Junior High School.

Charge of Discrimination Against Negro Reforestation Recruits in Jersey
(From the New York Age)
Discrimination against Negroes at the reforestation camp at Camp Dix, N.J., was charged here Tuesday by Clarence A. H. Abbott, club scribe, and fourteen other young men just sent back home by Capt. Hibbard, white, in charge of the last Negro company of 80 men that arrived at the camp April 18.
Before Henry Craft, executive secretary of the West 135th Street Branch Y.M.C.A., the young men set forth their grievances Tuesday afternoon and requested to be sent back to the camp under better conditions.
According to Abbott, everything went well until an additional white company arrived in camp April 26, when they were ordered out of their tents and housed in "unsanitary barracks" with three other Negro companies. "The white workers sleep in clean tents and get the best food, while Negro workers are put up at the barracks with insufficient food," he said.

PROTEST MARCH DUE TO ARRIVE HERE MONDAY
Delegation to Present Demands to President and to Congress
NEW YORK (CNA)—Over one thousand Harlemites have signed up for the Scottsboro Protest March on Washington, according to information received last Thursday at the offices of the National Scottsboro Action Committee, 119 West 135th Street. The march, originally called for April 28, was postponed to May 8 because of the necessity of providing transportation for the thousands expected to be involved.
In addition to the more than 1,000 persons recorded in Harlem for the march, it was stated that hundreds of others have been recruited in other parts of the city. Hundreds of recruiting stations have been set up all over the city. Some of these stations are located in stores donated for the purpose. Most of the stations, however, are composed of barrels or tables set up on street corners with volunteer workers in attendance registering the marchers. Scores of street meetings are being held daily to rally additional thousands of Negro and white workers for the march.
Other Cities to Join .....
The march will leave New York on May 6 and arrive in Washington on May 8. The New York marchers will be joined on the way by groups of marchers from Philadelphia, Newark, Baltimore, Wilmington, and other cities en route, Richmond, Norfolk, and other cities are also sending groups of Negro and white marchers. Distant cities, like Chicago, will send delegations, thus making the protest march a national expression of the Negro people and the Negro and white workers throughout the country. The marchers will remain in Washington only for one day. The leaders of the march are emphasizing that the march will be a peaceful protest action, and have repeatedly urged on the recruits that they must not permit themselves to be provoked on the way by Ku Klux agents rallying to prevent the march from reaching the capital.
To Present Petition
Arriving in the capital, the marchers will send a delegation, elected by themselves from their own ranks, to present demands on President Roosevelt for the unconditional and safe release of the nine innocent Scottboro boys, and for the enforcement of the constitutional rights of the Negro people; an end to lynching in and out of the courts, abolition of discriminatory practices against Negroes; enforcement of the rights of Negroes to serve on petit and grand inuries, and so on.
A bill, embodying these demands will be presented to Congress. It is understood that the delegation will visit Congressman Oscar De Priest to demand that he break his silence on the Scottshire frame-up and that he present the bill to Congress.
At a conference of delegates of over 100 mass organizations supporting the march, William L. Patterson, Negro leader and national head of the I.L.D., was elected to head the delegation. The proposed bill was drafted by the League of Struggle for Negro Rights, and unanimously adopted by the conference.
Southwest Community House Sponsors Girls' Day
The girls' clubs of Southwest Community House were hostesses to girls throughout the city in a city-wide Girls' Day, Sunday, April 30, at First Baptist Church, Sixth and G Streets, Southwest, in an effort to encourage friendly relations between organizations interested in social welfare, and to give the girls an opportunity to become better acquainted.

ELDER MICHAL
OPENS REVAL
AT BELASCO
“I would rather be a bootlégger
than a false preacher,” said Elder
Michaux in his sermon, Wednesday
night at the Belasco Theatre, where
he has been holding services each
night this week.
Crowds have stormed the play-
house-church from the first night,
Sunday, when he opened with the
subject, “God Heareth Not Sin-
ners,”
Dedicated to President's Day, El-
der Michaux opened the first 'ser-
vice with a minute of silent prayer
for the continued welfare of the
President and the United States.
A choir of 65 voices furnished
the music for the services. The
theme song, “Happy Am I,” opens
the services. Other favorite hymns
are “Back to the Faith of Our
Fathers,” “The Old Fashioned Gos-
pel,” and “We've Got the Devil on
the Run.”
‘The pastor of the radio Chureh
of God, on Georgia Avenue, se-
cured the Belasco Theatre with the
view of starting a world-wide re-
vival. His sermons have beén
forceful and his zeal persists.
Eider Solomon Lightfoot Mich-
aux through his daily radio services
has reached people by the thuu-
sands in this country. His Satur-
day hook-up of 55 stations covers
the United States, Canada and
Mexico.
He says that he has received
thousands of letters from every
state in the Union, and that now is
& good time to stert a world re-
vival. Therefore he is making the
effort at the Belasco this week to
initiate this revival.

Dr. J, E. Washington, teacher of
comercial art in the Cardozo High
School, spoke to the members of
the Order. of Artistic Typists and
Order of Gregg Artists on Friday,
April 28, at 1:00 in Room 203.
Basing his address on “Art in
Typewriting,” Dr. Washington
stressed the idea that ordinary
typewriting is merely a mechanical
process of hitting keys. He said
that many years ago, all typing
was arranged in one definite way,
and that up to now, many typists
are using that same form. The
typists of today show no variation
in their forms, as a very few of
them apply art to typing.
He pointed out to the members
of the club that, because they are
constantly entering into contests
and receiving much competition,
they should apply art to their typ-
ing. This should be done because
judges no longer. stop. at examin-
ing each letter and character a-
lone, but they consider, even more
so, the artistic arrangement of the
paper.
Dr. Washington gave a large
number of illustrations showing
the difference in aitistic and in-
artistic arrangement of. typewrit-
ten material, =e

LOWELL DEFENDED BY BAR OF BOSTON
Judicial Duty Honestly Performed in Releasing Crawford, Says Resolution
BOSTON, Mass. — The Boston Bar Association, Saturday, defended Federal Judge James A. Lowell, whose official conduct is under investigation in Congress and declared, in a formal resolution, that "he should be free from attack for performing his judicial duty honestly and in accordance with his best judgment." Judge Lowell was impeached in the House by Representative Smith, Democrat, Virginia, because of statements made by him in granting a writ of habeas corpus, releasing George Crawford, indicted for murder in Virginia. Judge Lowell held that even though Crawford were returned and convicted, the United States Supreme Court would reverse the conviction, because colored persons were not called for jury duty in Virginia.
The Bar Association's resolution pointed out that Judge Lowell was bound by a statement of facts agreed to by Crawford's counsel and counsel for the State of Massachusetts which was filed with the court. This statement said that it had long been the custom and practice in Virginia not to call colored persons for jury duty and cited affidavits by Virginia court officials in support of this claim.
"This statement," the resolution said, "was filed and agreed to, and thus became binding upon Judge Lowell, subject only to the question whether he had, under the approved practice on habeas corpus in extradition cases, the right to consider such facts, or whether on the other hand they should be given consideration in the first instance by the courts of Virginia.

White Croppers Shelter Negro Croppers from Mob
In the May Day Day supplement of the Daily Worker the following appears under the caption of "Share-croppers in Action":
"In the Black Belt of the South the flight of the Negro and white share-croppers against the frightful tyranny of the Lankers and the landlords advanced to a higher stage when on December 19. Negro share croppers with arms in hand drove off a force of armed and murderous deputies bent upon taking the property from one of their number.
"This conflict at Tallapoosa, Ala., was the second share-croppers' struggle—the first one having occurred at Camp Hill a year and a half before.
"When white posses recruited from sheriff's forces in nearby counties tried to hunt down and lynch them, the heroic Negro croppers found shelter at the hands of white share croppers.
"It is this growing unity of action of Negro and whites in the South that strikes fear into the hearts of the ruling class, trying to hold in subjection by every method of terror the Negro majority in the Black Belt which constitutes a suppressed nation."

MINISTERIAL BODY COMMENDS I.L.D. AND FRATERNITY
Alpha Phi Alpha in Nation wide Efforts to Help in Scottsboro Case
The Interdenominational Ministers' Alliance of Washington, D.C., and vicinity at its regular monthly meeting at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., last Monday, unanimously endorsed the Alpha Phi Alpha organization of Washington and over the country in its effort to raise defense fund for the Scottsboro case now before the courts of Alabama.
The Interdenominational Alliance also issues the following statement with reference to the Scottsboro case which involves the life of seven Negro boys held prisoners state of Alabama.
"1. We most heartily commend the leadership of the International Labor Defense for the great work it has done in raising funds and defending the Scottsboro boys.
"2. We commend the epoch-making defense conducted by the chief defense counsel, Samuel Leibowitz, of New York, and those associated with him in the fight. It is our firm belief that the defense has been ably and worthily conducted. We commend the bravery and persistence of Attorney Leibowitz in the extraordinary work of delving into the jury system of Alabama and much of the South, and bringing to the open the practice of excluding Negroes from jury service, thereby paving a way for another appeal to higher courts and to the Supreme Court of the United States in behalf of these boys.
"3. That the boys are alive is due to the work of the International Labor Defense is very evident. We feel that no division should come in the fight to save the lives of these youths. We recommend, therefore, that all persons, organizations and agencies, interested in assisting in this case join with Attorney Leibowitz and the International Labor Defense under which auspices the case has been so ably conducted to its present stage."

HOWARD PLACES IN MILE RELAY
Edgar Lee, Competing for Virginia Union, Runs Second Steeplechase
By A. MANTEL CARTER
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — There were no Tolans, or Edwards, no Williamses, Sterlings or Spauldings competing as the renewal of the oldest track and field carnival was staged here this week. The feats of these boys were mere memories, but they trod in their places, men who fought gallantly to take up their burdens of challenging the supposed white supremacy of the cinder path.
Though failing to establish any records as has been the case in late years, the Negro athletes performed most creditably in the historic Penn relays. Performing in the stead of the aforementioned old-timers, Beatty, Dues and Spencer carried the glory of the day.
Besides this trio who turned in the outstanding performances, many an ebony-hued athlete ran a brilliant race as a member of some white school or college relay quartet.
Leroy Dues, broad-shouldered athlete, from City College, of Detroit, won the shotput with a heave of 48 feet, five inches. Dues's heave was considerably lower than the record mark of 50 feet set by Indian Jones of New York University last year. In winning the field event, Dues beat Finkelstein and Scheur, both of New York University.
Spencer Shines
The only other ebony-hued athlete to score in the field events was Howard Spencer, Geneva College high jumper, whose carnival record in the event was shattered by George Spitz. New York University jumper, who went over the bar at a new carnival height. Spencer, who jumps with his right foot shoeless, failed by the narrowest of margins to retain his title.
Spitz's new mark of six feet, five and three-fourths inches, bests his record of 1932 by only three-eighths of an inch. Spencer and Spitz staged a thrilling battle to the end, much to the delight of the crowds in the east stands of Franklin Field. With all other competitors eliminated, both jumps cleared the bar at the dizzy height of six feet, five and five-eighths inches. With the bar raised one-eighth an inch, Spencer and Spitz failed to leap clear on the first jump, but the latter went over on his second try for the new record. After a second unsuccessful try, Spencer, anxious and determined yet, apparently nervous, paused several minutes, removed his right shoe, and then, as the crowd sat writing and hoping that his bronze body might clear the bar, approached the uprights in a mighty effort. His body barely touched the bar and Spencer had clinched second place.
Lions Score
For the fifth consecutive year, Lincoln University's relay team returned to Chester County victorious from the annual two-day carnival after winning the first of the special college mile relays. N. Bourne, G. Ward, B. Parker, and Dick Moultrie running for the Lions were clocked in 3 minutes, 39.7 seconds. Morgan College finished second with Howard University's quartet in the runner-up position. The Bisons with Leroy Scurry, Tom Reid and Ed Plummer running the first three positions weren't certain of third place until the final lap when Bill Chenney, C.I.A.A. champion, overtook and passed two runners to pull in behind Morgan's anchor man.
In the normal school relay championship, Saint Paul of Lawrenceville, Va., was second with Cheyney Normal School, of Cheyney, Pa. third. Miner Teachers' College, of Washington, D.C., failed to place.
Beatty Retains Title
On the opening day of the track and field carnival, Eugene Beatty, of Michigan State Normal, retained his 400 meters hurdle laurels. Beatty, who has been king in this event since 1931, won with a time of 55.8 seconds, two and a half seconds slower than his record established last year.
Beatty off to a slow start and was running second when the timber toppers came out of the chute. However, he quickly closed the gap and was in command at the last turn, beating out Jackson, of Lehigh, who was a close second.
Competing in the 3,000 meter steeplechase, one of the most fasting of all races, Edgar Lee, former Armstrong High School runner, now representing Virginia Union, of Richmond, Va., finished second in this event.
Lee, who has devoted most of his running in the past to cross-country running, did remarkable in his initial effort in the brush and timber jumping race. He finished about 150 yards behind Joe McCluskey, Fordham runner, who won the event in the new carnival time of 9 minutes 28.5 seconds.
Colored High Schools Score
Among the high school competitors, Negro athletes garnered exceptional honors. On the West Philadelphia High mile quartet that established a new record of 3:31.5 were Al Dunmore, Jack Williams and Horace Clark, who ran

Dues Has Best Form
A.A.U. Goes Metric
Metcalfe's Ambition
Eugene Beatty, Michigan Normal
Normal School's gallant timber
topper, was able to successfully
defend his carnival title in the 400-
meter hurdle race at the Penn Relays,
Friday, only through the generosity
of the athletic-minded citizens
of his home town. When it
was learned that Beatty would not
be able to go to the relays because
of a shortage of money at the
school, the citizens of the town rallied with a fund to defray the hurdler's expenses.
Though winning his favorite
event and setting a record which
establishes him as the first hurdler
to capture this race for three
straight years, Beatty's time was
considerably slower than in 1932.
In 1931, the Michigan timber topper was clocked in 54 7-10 seconds, one-tenth of a second faster than the previous mark held jointly by Lord David, Burghley, of England, and Ivan H. Riley. Last year he lowered the mark by one and four-tenths seconds.

Leroy Dues, hefty shot-putter, who captured the field event at the relays Saturday with a heave of 48 feet, five inches, is considered by the country's best track and field authorities to have the best form of the leading shotputters of the day. Last year, Dues finished second in the same event. Dues visited Washington early this week and is reported to have made known his intention of coming to Howard next year to study graduate work.

In spite of the fact that hardly any of the contestants who regard a race as just a race, didn't think much about it, the recently held Penn relay carnival will perhaps be the last at which the important race will be measured by yards. In other words, the A.A.U. has gone metric and in years to come such events as the 100-yard dash, the 220-yard dash and the 440-yard dash will be known as the 100-meter dash, etc. Therefore, at next year's carnival there will be no incentive to shatter the records hung up by athletes of by-gone days.
***
Despite the unfavorable conditions which existed Ralph Metcalfe, the "fastest human," turned in remarkable time in winning the 100-yard dash at the Drake relay carnival Saturday. The Marquette flyer ran the distance one-fifth of a second slower than last year, when he tied the then recognized world's record of 9.5.
Intermittent showers had made the track slow, and Metcalfe, who just finished a record-smashing indoor season, competed with only three days' practice out of doors. As a result his performance was highly remarkable.
He is determined, before the season is over, to reduce the century record, if possible, to the amazing time of 9.2 seconds.
the last three legs.
Jack Herbert, of Stuyvesant High School, of New York City, anchored the Scarlet and Blue to victories in both Class A and Class B mile scholastic championships of America. In Class B, Stuyvesant ran 3:27.6 for a new record, and Clark running anchor for West Philadelphia all but nipped the fleeing Herbert. Shipley and Hand aided Stetson Junior High School in making a new record in their division for 440 yards.

Fleming, of Pitt, and Brown, of Ohio State, were in the sprint medley. Fleming ran a two-twenty leg and Brown anchored for the Buckeyes. Brown came back later to run the third leg in the two-mile championships. Mullins, former Gary, Ind., star, flashed a 49.1 lap for Western Teachers' College in a college mile relay, aiding his mates to victory in the fast time of 3:23.3. Hampton's team entered the same race, but failed to put in appearance.
Vaughn Mason jumped off in fine style to give the University of Pennsylvania a lead of one foot in the mile relay for freshman. Jack Stevens, another ebony-hued lad, anchored for New York University in the same race.
Other bronzeed-skinned lads who competed in the famous games games were Walter Davis, Howard high jumper; Conflife, of Saint Paul, who competed with Beatty and Fleming in the broad jump; and Reynold School, of Philadelphia, which won the grammar school championship over the quarter-mile distance in 0:49.9.

METCALFE IS STAR OF DRAKE RELAYS
METCALFE IS STAR OF DRAKE RELAYS
Breaks Tape 4 Feet Ahead of Willis Ward in 100-Yard Dash
DES MOINES, Iowa. — Ralph Metcalfe, national collegiate sprint champion and Marquette University express, walked or rather ran off with the Drake relay carnival here Saturday. His two smashing performances were the highlights of the twenty-fourth annual track and field show. Battling rain, wind, a heavy, slow track and a determined field of opponents, Metcalfe, Marquette University's famous flyer, easily captured the 100-yard dash in 9.7 seconds. He broke the tape 4 feet ahead of Willis Ward, another colored youth from the University of Michigan, to defend successfully his Drake century championship.
The Marquette flyer ran the distance one-fifth of a second slower than last year, when he tied the then recognized world's record of 9.5. Metcalfe, just finishing a record-smashing indoor campaign in the short distances, competed with only three days' outdoor practice. As a result, his showing was considered remarkable. He is determined, before the season ends, to reduce the century record, if possible, to the amazing time of 9.2 seconds.
After winning the 100, Metcalfe in a brilliant performance triumphed for Marquette in the 880-yard university relay. Running as anchor man for the Milwaukeees, Metcalfe, coming from behind, picked up 10 yards and beat out Heye Lambertus, of Nebraska, in a thrilling finish.
John Brooks, University of Chicago Negro broad jumper, retained his carnival championship by winning the event for the second straight year.. Brooks leaped 24 feet, three inches to win.
Besides running second to Metcalfe in the century, Ward gained further laurels by winning the high jump event by propelling his body over the bar at the height of six feet, four and three-fourths inches.

Armstrong Night School Enters Volley Ball Team
The entry of the Armstrong night school puts a threat into the all-sports tournament which is to end in a few days. The team entered seven men in the paddle tennis division but were unable to defeat the Dunbar group.
The entry will be a great threat for they have been concentrating on the game to win. The basketball series will follow immediately when the volley ball series closes.
To date the Lovejoy Community Center leads the divisions and the entry of new teams might offset the chances to hold first place position in the league.
E. B. Henderson has expressed his desire to close the tournament by the middle of May but from all indications there will be many teams entered and play may be extended to a later date to finish the series.

Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach
Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach
By CATO W. ADAMS
EDITOR'S NOTE.-Mr. Adams has been identified with coaching activities for about twenty-three years. His career began as a teacher in the elementary schools of Washington, when he began playing basketball at the Bairney School, baseball and track at the Bairney School. He was also one of the officers of the old P.S.A.L. (Public School Athletic League). He has coached baseball at Armstrong for ten years and lost the Tech players school lost the baseball championship through actual participation but once—last season. In 1930, after sweeping the series with Dunbar and Cardozo, one of the Tech players was declared ineligible and the series was forfeited.
In June, 1924, the Armstrong baseball team went to Baltimore intent upon avenging its first defeat in Washington by Baltimore. Hank Jones, now a teacher in the Washington schools was sent against the Baltimoreans and had everything that good pitchers have and mediocre pitchers crave.
He entertained the home boys with a wide sweeping hook, an invincible ball ball that would just as soon pin the batter on the jaw as to find its way into the catcher's mitt, and a drop that sank right at the batter's knee on the outside corner for a right hand swinger and on the inside corner for a left hand batter.
Doodad Dorsey, still going strong in athletic circles, was receiving perfectly. Nothing that resembled a hit was made during Baltimore's five turns at the bat.
In the meantime Armstrong has chased three opposing pitchers and the fourth was being treated roughly. The score was 9-0 in Tech's favor when Baltimore went to bat in the sixth. The first batter swinging late dropped a feeble safe pop right beyond Foot Allen on first. In a wild effort to avoid a shut-out, the second batter bunted, and Jones cagely threw to second, forcing the runner, who in turn spilled Turkeybreast Brown, pivoting at this sack.
The interference was ruled legitimate and the infield with Dick Temple, later ex-Lion star in all sports and captain in two, and Soup Turner, who can still loop basketballs in the right place blindfolded, leading the protests. The third batter bunted and again Jones fielded and played his position perfectly and the throw to second beat the runner for the second out of the inning.
Then came the break. This time Soup Turner covered second in place of the lighter weight Brown. In his haste to avoid a recurrence of the previous play, Turner's relay to first was wild and the batter took second. Next came another one of those dinky "slices" and Baltimore had just begun to find
Georgetown Scores First Victory from Elks, 10-2
The Georgetown A.C. started the season with a 10 to 2 victory over the Elks on the Monument Grounds, Sunday.
Mathews and Frazier, who hurled for the Georgetown T boys, allowed four hits, while Brown was rapped for 12. Whitlock and Ashford hit home runs for the winners.
For games with the winners write David Eisby, 2708 O Street, Northwest. Georgetown will meet the Colesville Tigers this Sunday.

that swinging late may be good medicine since she had scored by this method.
It literally appeared as if the boys just shut their eyes and swung—much to the embarrassment of Vandyke Walker, another teacher in Washington, Sam Lacy and Ward, outfielders, who just couldn't reach those little "chucks." Matters became worse when Jones deliberately tried the corners and the opposition began profiting by bases on balls. The score was climbing, yet that third out was being delayed.
As a possible solution Sam Lacy, whom we all know as one of amateur's best, was brought in from center. Then came errors and another funny hit before he succeeded in fanning a batter for the third out. Baltimore was one run behind
Another Tech rally sent the score 13-8, Armstrong. But in the eighth Douglass began to profit by other breaks. Allen twisted his ankle and the only remaining pitcher on the trip, Sugar Hammond, had to substitute at first.
The demoralized Tech crew went into their half of the ninth with the score 15-13 against them. With two out and two srikes on him, Walker missed the third strike and went for his glove to take home. The Baltimore players were on the way in. No one at first noticed that the ball got by the catcher. Lacy on the coaching lines saw this and kept yelling and waving to Walker to run for first. He did, and to second also.
Then came the dispute as to whether Walker was out for not running. The book was appealed to and the scoreer was forced to change the out for a catcher's error. Armstrong made six runs before this third out finally came.
Although Baltimore made two runs in her half, the score showed 19-17 for Armstrong in one of the most hectic games that a score ever tried to figure and the type of game that takes at least en years out of the life of a coach.

In another contribution Mr Adams will tell of a stellar piece of relief pitching with the bases full and none out.
Blue Sox Start Season With Two Victories
The Washington Blue Sox won a brace of games Sunday by defeating the Silver Spring A.C., 15 to 14, and the Washington Cubs, 15 to 6.
Westfield pitched against the Cubs and held them at bay in the pinches. Stripling and Jeter led the attack, the former hit a triple and three singles, while the latter collected two doubles and a like number of singles.
The nightcap found the Sox in an up-hill battle all the way. The Sox scored 10 runs in the last three innings to finish on the long end of a 15-14 count.

SCHANDORF NAMED SOCCER CAPTAIN
Elected to Lead Lincoln University Team for 1933 Season
LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa.—At a recent meeting held at the home of Professor A. E. James, coach of the Lincoln University soccer team, the entire soccer squad spent an enjoyable evening. After brief addresses were delivered by Coach James and Captain Warren Smith, the election took place and Ebenezer Schandorf was elected to captain the Lions of 1933. The captain-elect then made a brief speech of acceptance, thanking his team mates for the confidence that they showed and stated that he would do his best to justify the faith shown in him and to further carry out the plans of last year's captain. The election of the captain was justified in that he proved one of the team's most stalwart defense men last year.
Though the team did not enjoy much success due to minor injuries, it boasted one of the strongest backfields in inter-collegiate circles—a backfield captained and guided efficiently by Warren A. Smith.
The following men earned their letter for the past season:
Linesmen—Arthur R. Williams, Flushing, N.Y.; Wendel P. Arling, Orange, N.J.; James O. Plinton, Westfield, N.J.; Clyde R. Hunt, New York City, Thomas Johnson, Sierre Leone, West Africa.
Backfield—James E. Abrams, Jersey City; Capt. Warren A. Smith, Corona, N.Y.; Walter W. Bonner, New Bedford, Mass; Captain-elect Ebenezer Schandorf, Acra, Gold Coast, West Africa; Manager Capers G. Bradham, Jacksonville, Fla.

CARDOZO LOSES FIRST OF SERIES
Armstrong Defeats Clerks Before 300 Fans by 8 to 3 Score
Cardozo baseball team lost their first series game to Armstrong High School at Walker Stadium, Friday, by a score of 8 to 3. Despite the windy weather about 300 fans were on hand to witness the game. The Cardozo team scored three runs in the first inning. The score was tied in the fourth and then the Armstrong team went on a scoring spree and tallied two runs in the fifth and three in the sixth. The high school series games consist of only seven innings.
Herbert (Crip) Henry, of Cardozo, carried off individual honors distinguishing himself as one of the best catchers in high school. Elmer Shelton, who pitched for the losers, was at bat four times, but was only able to connect with one hit which was good for a triple. Bull Harris started as a sub at short stop. Because of his alertness he played throughout the game. Smack Lucas, Cardozo's oily outfielder and pitcher, also played a good game at both positions.

The event has extended over a period of five weeks and was conducted by Miss Fannie Granton at the Dunbarn Community Center. Mrs. Carrie J. Knox will make the presentations to the winners in a week at the Center. The total participation during the tournament was about 200 girls. A similar event will be staged next season with more of the same type of games.

VA. STATE BEATS HAMPTON,12TO4
Hilltoppers Come from Rear to Score Third C.I.A.A. Victory
By THOMAS C. JERVAY
HAMPTON, Va.—Annexing their third straight C.I.A.A. victory for the season, the Virginia State batsmen, age-old sport rivals of the locals, merged base hits and Hampton errors for an overwhelming 12 to 4 win over the Seasiders in a baseball game played here last Saturday on Armstrong Field.
Gillard, State right hander, was the hero of the game. Although the Hamptonians touched him for eight safeties, he whipped nine of the opposing batsmen and accounted for two of his team's scores. The first score of the game came in the last half of the first inning when Baylor scored after Captain "Bill" Ryder, Hampton catcher, landed a two-bagger into the right field stands. A second score was added in the same frame after Brockenbury came home on a wild throw-to third by "Zip" Johnson, State's back stopper.
State Ties Score
No more runs were recorded until the first of the third. In this inning State scored twice, tying the count. Osborne made first on a slow roller down the third base line Duffy followed with a double, putting Osboane on third. Barrabin hit through second for a two baser, scoring Osboane and Duffy. Fleming struck out to retire the side. Hampton followed in the same frame with a lone tally. McGinnis's crossing the plate accounting for the score.
Stage Rally
Returning to bat in the fourth, the Hilltoppers staged a successful batting rally, piling up six runs, thereby grabbing the lead from the Hamptonians and keeping it for the rest of the game. With two men out, doubles by Barrabin and Gillard, hits down the third base line by Harris and Duffy, and errors by Hampton's infield, six men from the hill came home, annexing the half dozen scores which spelled defeat to the home team. It was in this fatal inning that Hampton's defense seemed to have literally "blown up."
McCullen hits Homer
State scored again in the sixth and ninth innings. Hampton secured a fourth marker in the last half of the ninth when McCullen, pinch hitting for Barham, drove out the only home run of the day, the ball going to the outskirts of the ball park. Jimmie Snowden saw mound duty for Hampton. He allowed fifteen hits and fanned five Statesmen.

Washington Blue Sox Captures Doubleheader
Mickey Stripling gathered his contingent of Washington Miss Sex together Sunday and sent his warriors into action for the first time this season. The results were disastrous—for the enemy—as the Washington Cubs were subdued, 8-7 and 16-6, in a twin bill. Geter, Botts, along with Manager Stripling were the heavy wielders of the batht, while Westfield and Bolton stone on the mound. Huley, from his position in center field, kicked in with several nifty catches for the victors.

SCORE A HIT
TRAMARDEN PLAYERS
SCORE A HIT
By Laurence J. W. Hayes
The Tramarden players score again.
This sterling troup of amateur actors and actresses presented "The Cradle Song," a Spanish comedy centered around the lives of a group of Dominican nuns, in the Armstrong Auditorium, on last Saturday evening.
This expository drama was in two acts and boasted a cast of sixteen characters. Both acts were placed in a room opening upon the cloister of a convent and the time element between the two acts covered eighteen years.
The members of the cast were: Lorraine R. Heathcock, Louise C. Hill, Henrietta Williams, Lillian L. Washington, Rosa P. Montgomery, Nora Drew, Marjorie Wormley, Louise Syphax, Anna J. Thompson, Katherine J. Lane, Florence Philips, Willard Philips, George Dickerson, Robert Syphax, Jr., Jack Bond, and Golden J. Brown.
Although the acting was uniformly excellent, I think that three players stood out. Placed in the order of decreasing importance, I would list Louise C. Hill, Lorraine R. Heathcock and Katherine J. Lane.
Everyone was particularly pleased with the characterization of Sister Marcella as played by Nora Drew; George Dickerson made an effective doctor, and Lillian L. Washington made Sister Joanna of the Cross an exceptionally likable individual.
Colden L. Brown looked and spoke as a poet should look and speak and Jack Bond surely had a farmer's voice.
The Misses Wharton, of Baltimore, sang—between acts—"The Cradle Song" by Brahms.
Jennie E. Mustapha and Vergil Heathcock, who had charge of publicity, evidently did their duty, Morris Lewis, Jr., who deputized his entire family to assist him, had charge of the tickets.
Dutton Ferguson, who had charge of the stage management, let two little details escape his eagle eye. He permitted the canary which was given to the sisters in the first act to be seen in the same room eighteen years later, and he permitted Miss Lane who immortalized Teresa to wear American fashioned clothes with a Spanish head-dress.
The list of patrons, one hundred
LOUISVILLE, Ky.-Cab Calloway's visit to this city drew a jimcrow crowd of 9,000 Negroes who paid $7,000 to dance to his music. According to the Louisville Leader it is said that it was the plan of those who promoted the coming of Cab Calloway to make it an exclusive affair for whites at a good price. This was the arrangement at Evansville, but money was lost in the venture, and it was then decided to sell the main floor at the armory here to Negroes at 77 cents and the balcony to whites at 55 cents.
This arrangement agreed upon, two big signs were placed at the armory entrance on Walnut Street. Over one of the entrance doors the sign read "for colored only" and the other "for white only."
It is reported that colored people who paid 77 cents but who did not care to dance were not allowed to sit in the balcony where seats were, because white people were there, but that when white people wanted to come down to the main floor where Negroes were dancing they were permitted to do so.
Not only is it said that Negroes of every class accepted the most flagrant segregation at the armory, but it is also said that a few of an element of Negro women eased off in a corner to dance with the white men who came to the main floor and asked these women for a dance.
According to the Ledger story it is stated that "following the Cab Calloway appearance last Wednesday night it is talked that an effort will be made to ban these big outside orchestras from coming to Louisville and showing at the armory until conditions are better."
and five in number, headed by Congressman and Mrs. Oscar DePriest, Dr. and Mrs. Mordeciel Johnson, Dr. and Mrs. Ernest Just, and Mr. and Mrs. Morris Lewis, reads like a select cross-section of Washington's Who's Who. The clubs, Blab Blabs, Ballyhoos, Gay Northwesterners, Mignonettes, Whosits, and Owls were also listed as patrons.

"Folks from Dixie" New Drama Series
A new series of comedy drama sketches, played by a talented cast of Negro actors and singers, will start over an NBC-WEAF network at 1:30 p.m., E.D.S.T., on Sunday, May 7. Under the title of "Folks from Dixie," these new playlets will replace the "Moonshine and Honey-suckle" series which comes to an end after a continuous run of weekly broadcasts since July 28, 1930.
"Folks from Dixie," written by Carlton Moss, author of the "Careless Love" sketches previously heard over NBC networks, follows the adventures of Jenny Jackson, an old Negro mammy, who suddenly finds herself possessed of a large fortune when oil is discovered on her property.
The characters will be portrayed by Negro actors, several of whom have had successful Broadway stage careers.
The Southernaires, Negro quartet which has been heard on many NBC programs, also will be heard in the sketches.

Howard Glee Club
Gives Notable Concert
The Men's Glee Club of Howard University, under the direction of its founder, Professor, Roy W. Tibbs, appeared in the annual Lecture-Recital Series at Howard University last Tuesday night. This was the club's nineteenth annual recital. The a capella singing, always difficult, which formed a goodly portion of the program, was especially well done. The numbers which required piano accompaniment had an excellent accompanist in Julius Carroll, and the last two numbers, which required two pianos, had the support of Cecil Cohen, member of the school of music faculty.
The first two numbers—"Ave Maria," b y Arcadelt, and "Adoramus Te," by Palestrina, in Latin, were performed with unusual finesse. The other two numbers of the first group were "To Alma" arranged *by Gaul, and "Cavalier Song," by Stanford. "Ashes of Roses," by Robinson; "The Autumn Sea," by Gerrick; and "Viking Song," by Coleridge-Taylor, formed the second group, following by "Erl King," by Schubert, in German which was sung as a baritone solo by Barrington Guy. Mr. Guy sang "Nichavo," by Mana Zucca as an encore. In both numbers, the soloist acquitted himself in an extremely commendable way.
Songs by Negro Composers
Songs by Negro composers comprised the third group, including "Mother O'Mine" and "A Fatuous Tragedy," by Burleigh; "Mandy Lou" by Work, and "A Negro Sermon" by Cook. So prolonged was the applause that it was necessary to repeat both of the two last mentioned numbers.
Two other selections were given in German—"Sylvelin," by Sinding; and "Dedication," by Franz, which, together with "Luxembourg Garden," by Manning; and "Swansa Town," by Holst, provided another very interesting group on the program.
"African Dance No. 4," by Cleride-Taylor, was played as a violin solo by J. Richmond Johnson. In the last group, "Broken Melody," by Sibelius, was received with prolonged applause. Two spirituals as encores to this number were sung, with Levingston Smith as soloist. The spirituals were "Swing Low, Sweet Chadiot," and "We are Climbing Jacob's Ladder."
Following "Music When Soft Voices Die," by Dickerson, the program proper closed with "Finale from "The Gondoliers," by Sullivan, which the club was required to repeat. As is their custom, the program was closed with the Alma Mater.

HELEN HAYES, GABLE & STONE AT REPUBLIC IN "WHITE SISTER"
A new contribution to the list of imposing screen achievements will come to the Republic Theatre for the entire week of May 19, in the presentation of Metro Goldwyn Mayer's talking picture version of "The White Sister with Helen Hayes and Clark Gable in the principal roles. In its poignant touching narrative, its beautiful direction, its effective camera work and in the brilliant performance of its two well-known stars, this picture stands out foribly as an example of the best in cinema art. The story of the aristocratic Italian girl who falls in love with a soldier, on the eve of her marriage to a man of her father's choice, gies both Hayes and Gable every opportunity for romantic portrayals of the first order
Whether it be in the lighter scenes of the carnival at the start of the picture or at the dramatic moment when the soldier whom the heroine believed to be dead returns very much alive, the work of the two stars is at all times touching and effective.
The always dependable Lewis Stone adds another fine portrayal to his long list of character roles as the aristocratic father who forbids his daughter's love; the picture is given humorous touches in the dry wit of the inimitable Louise Closser Hale who plays the family servant; and the cast is well rounded out by May Robson, Edward Arnold and Alan Edwards. An added attraction extraordinary will be "Voice of the Vatican" showing intimate scenes of His Holiness Pope Pius XI and the Holy City.
STAGE AND SCREEN SHOWS AT HOWARD AT SUMMER PRICES
A new musical revue makes its bow at the Howard Theatre for one week beginning Saturday. "Hot Rhythm" has plenty of new songs, new comedy and a hotcha chorus of ten dancing dolls which help to make up this revue of forty-five people. Tommy Myles and his orchestra will furnish the music. The screen offers something different in its appeal to mothers who have failed to tell their daughters the things they should know about life. Marian Marsh in "Daring Daughters" tells a timely story. The daughters of 1933 are desperate, reckless and wild. They thrive on danger and throw care to the winds. Is it the fault of parents? This is explained thoroughly in "Daring Daughters." The usual midnight show Friday, with reserved seats. The orchestra forty cents and the balcony thirty cents.

MOVIE STARS ON LINCOLN STAGE FOUR TIMES DAILY
A film drama that entertains and at the same time stimulates feeling and thought—that is Metro Goldwyn Mayer's "Men Must Fight," which will open at the Lincoln Theatre Friday-Sunday, May 5-7. It is one of the most unusual pictures the screen has seen for it depicts the country, on the verge of conflict in 1940.
Upon the shoulders of Adrian, the celebrated style creator, fell the responsibility of looking thead, in order to design clothes for the feminine members of the cast that are startlingly different. Everything from hats, dresses and furs to ornaments were specially designed.
In the cast are Diana Wynyard, the English actress who scored in "Rasputin and the Empress" and "Cavalcade"; Lewis Stone, Phillips Holmes, May Robson, Ruth Selwin, Robert Young, and others.

As an added attraction, two of the leading stars, Mamie Thompson, torch singer of Club Hollywood and Roland C. Irvin, famous Harlem song writer will make personal appearances daily at 3:30, 5:30, 7:30 and 9:30p.m.
ELABORATE MUSICAL SCORE IS PREPARED FOR FOX "CAVALCADE"
More than 200 persons were engaged by the Fox Film Corporation to aid in the composition and synchronization of the musical score of "Cavalcade," the film version of Noel Coward's famous play opening on Sunday, May 7, at the Raphael Theatre.
The research on the music alone almost equalled that on the production generally. From the start each piece, if only a single bar or note, had to be cleared legally. And when the production department announced that more than 50 compositions were to be included as musical background the legal department at Fox set the machinery in motion to gain rights to the required music.
Almost every imaginable type of music was incorporated in the film. Ranging from Strauss waltzes and extending through "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" and on through Noel Coward's "Twentieth Century Blues," the music covers the period from 1899 to the present and on into the imagery music of the future.
Such old fashioned hits, once popular here and abroad, as "Good Bye Doll Gray" "Bird in a Gilded Cage," and "Oh, You Beautiful Doll" are included. The war is covered by "Madelon," "Mademoiselle from Armentieres," "Yankee Doodle," "Soldiers of the Queen," "When Johnny Comes Marching

"THE CRIME OF THE CENTURY" AT THE BROADWAY THEATRE
Jean Hersholt, Stuart Erwin, Wynne Gibson and Frances Dee head the cast of the "Crime of the Century" mystery drama in a new style, which comes to the Broadway Theatre, Sunday-Monday,
May 7-8.
The story centers around Hersholt, an alienist who walks into a police station one night and begs the detectives on duty to lock him up. He explains that he has planned the perfect crime, and fears that he will commit it, should he not be taken into custody. The officers impressed, accompany him to his home, and there not only the crime he has planned but a second more gruesome than the first, takes place while they look on helpless.
A new idea is introduced during the course of the picture, when the action comes to a halt for one minute, and the various clues are reviewed, to give the audience an opportunity to pick the murderer.

BALTIMORE
2 MAJOR CHANGES MADE AT M.E. CONFERENCE
The appointment of the Rev. E. A. Love to the superintendency of the Washington district and the Rev. J. W. Waters to Warren Church, Pittsburgh marked the two major changes in Baltimore as a climax to the 70th annual session of the Washington Conference of the M.E. Church at Ames Memorial M.E. Church, Monday, the Rev. Ernest Lyon, pastor. The Rev. R. F. Coates, formerly of the Washington district, was appointed to Sharp Street M.E. Church to succeed the Rev. J. W. Waters and the Rev. W. H. Dean, formerly of Warren Church, Pittsburgh, succeeds the Rev. Love at John Wesley, Baltimore. These constituted the principal Baltimore changes.
Rev. Holt Protests
A dramatic moment occurred Monday previous to the reading of the appointments by the presiding officer, Bishon E. H. Hughes, when the Rev. W.N. Holt, formerly pastor at Brooklyn and Patapse Peck, claimed discrimination in conference appointments and asked that a better assignment be given him or he would resign.
The matter was referred after some discussion to the committee on conference relations, who later recommended that he be retained in his present relationship to the conference. He was assigned to Harpers Ferry, W.Va.
Rev. Coates Honored
Rev. Coates Honored
A representation of a purse to the Rev. R. F. Coates, and roses to Mrs. Coates from the ministry of the Washington district was made by the Rev. R. M. Williams, of Asbury, Washington, and Mrs. Fannie D. Tyler, with responses by the Rev. and Mrs. Coates, who leave the district this year.
Conference Indebtedness
Plans to take care of the conference indebtedness particularly in the matter of Morgan College and the N. M. Carroll Home for the Aged included the reporting by each pastor of an amount equivalent of five cents for each member by June 4. By this plan it is estimated to produce about $1625 based on the total 1932 membership of 32,500, to meet the immediate emergency.
Financial reports showed a general decrease from last year. The benevolence total of $34,572 was a decrease of $16,418. The report of $9,000 for world service was a drop of $6,000 and the amount of $13,742 for district superintendents is a $3750 decrease. The amount reported for ministerial support showed an increase from $58,527 in 1832 to $79,787. By districts: Alexandria, $15,667; Charleston, $20,088; North Baltimore, $16,089; South Baltimore, $13,956; Washington, $13,987. Church membership also showed an increase of 347, making a total of 36,617. Reports also revealed that the North Baltimore, with an indebtedness of church property of $191,515, was more than twice any other district. The Alexandria reported an indebtedness of $47,342; Charleston, $67,910; South Baltimore, $42,178; Washington, $85,224.
Two Ordained
Sunday afternoon Bishop Hughes ordained Edward Carroll, son of the Rev. Julius Carroll, and Joseph E. Lee, pastor of Simms Memorial Church. The Rev. E. Adoft Haynes, secretary of the conference, preached the ordination sermon to a packed church, while hundreds stood outside unable to get in.
Ministers placed on the retired list this year were t the Rev. I. L. Johnson, the Rev. Sa. A. Lewis, and the Rev. J. A. Bowran. Those left without appointments in order to attend school were Joshua O. Williams, Kenneth P. Barnes and Sylvester O. Jones. Richard H. Johnson was admitted into full membership of the conference.
Arthur R. Fray, formerly of the Baptist Church, was received after recognition of his elder's orders, placed on trial and put in studies of the first year.
Next Conference
After invitations from the M.E.
Church at Wheeling, W.Va., by the
Rev. J. H. Peters and from Leigh
Street Church, Richmond, the Rev.
J. H. Jenkins, pastor, it was voted
to hold the 1834 session at Richmond.
The ordination of the Rev. Edward A. Carroll, son of the Rev. Julius Carroll, pastor of Whatcast M.E. Church here at the 70th session of the Washington Conference marked the third generation of the Carroll family to enter the ministry.
Young Carroll is the grandson of the Rev. Henry A. Carroll. The Rev. Nathaniel M. Carroll, great-uncle of the young minister, was one of the organizers of the Washington Conference in 1864. The following year his father, the Rev. Henry A. Carroll, was ordained and entered the conference.
A coincidence is that the newly ordained desacon's father, the Rev. Julius Carroll, was ordained as an elder in the same church. Ages, twenty-nine years ago. The Rev. G. Curry, who made the motion to receive Edward G. Carroll into
the ministry, baptized him as an infant.
He is a graduate of Morgan College and will receive his S.T.B. from Yale Divinity School, June 21, after which he will take up the duties of his new appointment at Mt. Washington and Arlington. He has made quite an enviable record at Yale. His thesis on "Types of Conversion" received favorable commendation from the dean as containing much material that is new.

of Dr. Roland M. Bruner and Dr. Robert E. Brown, white, at Freedmen's Hospital, both of whom testified at the trial.
Dr. Wright has two other indictments for similar offenses. The conviction carries a penitentiary sentence of not less than three years.
Dr. Wright testified that Mrs. Hairston came to him after an operation had been performed, and he only rendered the service to save her life.
The district attorney asked him why he did not send her to a hospital, and if he did not realize the danger of taking a patient in that condition, without calling in a physician or sending her to a hospital.
Benjamin L. Gaskins, who defended Dr. Wright, made a commendable effort in the defense of his client.

The Hemostat, the monthly publication of the Student Organization of Freedmen's Nursing School, celebrated its first anniversary in March. This occasion was an opportune time to review the progress of the publication since its inception, and to plan ways and means for continuing it.
Although very small and humble, the Hemostat has served a very definite and useful purpose as a medium of expression for the student group, and as a means of informing the public of the activities going on at the school. Like many large publications, it has suffered from the same economic ills which threaten them—bankruptcy.
The Hemostat staff, therefore, planned the May Queen Contest to forestall any such unfortunate occurrence. The contestants are receiving votes by securing subscriptions and advertisements for the paper. The standing of the contestants for the week ending April 29th is as follows:
Miss Bernice Jones, 8,150; Miss Jereline Miller, 5,100; Miss Mamie O. Hale, 5,000, and Miss Carrie Blake, 5,000.
The rules of the contest are as follows:

CLASSIFIED
MERIDIAN, Okla.—Three Negroes gained control of this town last week when they were elected trustees, breaking up the "illy-white" oligarchy which uncontested had ruled for three decades. The white trustees were caught mapping when the white members of the governing board failed to file for election in time and the three Negro candidates, John Spann, John Holden and Tessie Flowers, all prominent citizens, having fully complied with the election laws, got on the official ballot to the exclusion of the white trustees and were elected. There is much agitation and strong resentment against the Negroes' holding such high offices but nothing can be done about it and the new board may elect Negroes to fill all of the village offices. Holden, one of the newly elected trustees, commenting upon the situation, said:
"We constitute but 10 per cent of Meridian's population, but we have been deprived of our share in the government for a third of a century. It is our time now." Meridian is about 40 miles north-
Meridian is about 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

ZULU'S "RULER." DIES IN OFFICE
LONDON. Solomon, King of all the Zulu, is dead. He was the luckiest and most envious of all British Negroes in Africa. The British government allowed him the title of King Solomon and granted him a pension of $25,000 a year to maintain his kingly prestige. His ancestors were warrior kings, distinguished from their half-naked subjects by a kingly leopard skin.

Barring the hectic fifth inning when, after two were out, the Douglass lads profited by three errors and a well placed hit, and scored three runs, Armstrong held the whip hand, Monday, over Douglass and won, 6 to 4.
Cary hurled a crafty game for Armstrong. The blow off came when Brown fumbled a roller with the bases loaded, and Beverly did a "Turpin" when he let Taylor's single roll through him and three runs to count.
The fourth run occurred when the next batter hit and scored when Cary threw the ball in the stands in an attempt to prevent a steal of third! This victory gives Armstrong the lead in the South Atlantic High School Conference.
Cleaves Adams pitched a good game for the visitors, but his support dug numerous holes for his downfall. He allowed five hits, struck out six, passed four, and committed a balk. Cary allowed four hits, passed four, struck out four and balked once.

Seasiders Sweep Tennis Match from St. Paul
HAMPTON, Va.—Hampton's netmen made a clean sweep of the tennis matches played here last Saturday with members of St. Paul's tennis team. Playing their first C.I.A.A. game of the season, the local netters captured every match in the single and double entries.
From the beginning of the matches, it was evident that the Seasiders were a little too strong for the visitors, while the one-sided scores subsantiated all beliefs of the locals' superiority.

GEORGE CARR TO JOIN BACHARACHS
Former Hilldale Player to Play First Base With Giants
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — George Carr, who formerly played with the Kansas City Monarchs and Hilldale, will play first base for the Bacharach Giants, it was announced here this week by Harry Passon, owner. Carr, who lives in Los Angeles and plays winter ball there, is considered one of the best hitters and base runners in baseball. His weight of over 210 pounds does not interfere with his speed.
One of the other new comers with the Giants is Ormand Sampson, who is one of the best indefenders Florida ever produced. He will hold down second base. Although he is a shortstop, he has been switched in second to make room for the reliable Jimmy Johnson, who will cover short.
Speed Ball King With Bees
James Cook, speed ball king from Norfolk, Va., who played with the Baltimore Black Sox for a short time last season, will be counted-on to help Phil Cockrell, Joe Gomes, of Providence, R.I.; Pud Flourney, formerly of Hildale and Baltimore Black Sox; Wilbur Pritchard, Bud Mitchell, and Henry Gillespe, out with the pitching. The Giants' line-up, when they open their home season at Passon Field, Forty-eighth and Spruce Streets, Saturday, May 20, will be Burbage, Wiggins, 3b; Johnson, ss; Warmack, cf; Carr, 1b;桑pson, Briggs, 1f; Lewis, c; Cockrell, p.
The Giants will also play two night games each week as lights are being installed.
Have Their Own Home
Harry Passon, owner, and Malcolm McGowan, general manager, are being complimented for the beautiful home they have secured for the players at 1617 Fitzwater Street. The home is neatly furnished, and the players have their own cook who will serve them the best of food. It will be known as the Bacharach Giants' headquarters.
Bowling
The G. P. O. team in the Commercial Bowling League scored high point honors last Thursday by spilling a total of 1,744 pins in three games. The Washington Tribune-fire with 1,722 was second.

TO LIFT LID OFF
TRI-STATE LOOP
Race to Start Sunday with Six Teams After Title Honors
The lid will be lifted on sandlot baseball Sunday when the six leading clubs of the District and Virginia, composing the Tri-State League, open play. Several changes have taken place in many of the teams, and new faces will be seen on practically every club. All of the teams have been strengthened and a close race is predicted. Managers of the various teams state their players are in tip-top shape for the opening gong. President Hayes Jones has signed a new umbrella to replace Script Lee.
The Rajahs have released Wade Savoy, first baseman, and William Cash, infielder, to Hillsdale. George Diggs and Reggie Neal will sport the colors of the DePriest Club while the Hillsdales have signed over to the LeDroit Tigers Toots Brown, hard-hitting outfielder, and Hanks Williams, pitcher. Everett Jeffries, formerly of the Huntsville clan, and Douglass Monroe, former Black Sox star, have signed with the Tigers.
Bartoe Black, brainy catcher who is staging a comeback after several years of idleness due to illness, and Herman Babe Gaskins, hard-hitting outfielder and a former star on the Howard University team, have cast their lot with the Hillsdales.
Sunday will find each club playing a doubleheader. The first game is scheduled to be called at 1:30 p.m.
Hildesales vs. Rajahs, Sixty-first and Clay, Northeast.
Giants vs. DePriest, Fifty-third and Ames, Northeast.
Virginia White Sox vs. LeDroit Tigers, Twenty-sixth and Bennings.
CUBANS TO CARRY LIGHTING SYSTEM
NEW YORK.-Syd Pollock's Cuban Stars will place another strong club on the field again this season, opening on May 18, in New York City.
The late start was decided upon sometime ago, as Pollock figured from past experiences that early spring games are not a paying proposition, and desired to get his club off on the right foot, at a time when baseball really gets underway successfully among the semi-pro ranks.
Ramirez is Manager
Manager Ramiro Ramirez will again be at the helm this year, leading a team that will be composed of mixed Cuban and American talent. Ramirez has not announced his 1933 line-up to date and intends to withhold any mention of names until after the team has assembled in New York. The popular Cuban pilot mentioned, however, that he has many surprises up his sleeve and a club that will bowl them all over this year.
Own Lighting Plant
An announcement comes from the Cuban Stars' headquarters, to the effect that Pollock will carry a portable floodlight, plant for night baseball starting on and after May 29. This will give the Cubans an opportunity to play afternoon and twilight ball, doubling up with a night game under their own lighting equipment.
To Play in Porto Rico
It has also been made known that Syd Pollock and Manager Ramirez's club have been contracted to make an extended visit this winter to Porto Rico, at the conclusion of the season in this country, and negotiations are now underway for games in South America also during the winter months. Games will be handled through the office of Post Office Box 64, North Tarrytown, N.Y.
TEAM WILL ENTER THE
ALL-SPORTS TOURNEY
The following boys will enter the all-sports tourney this Wednesday night at the Armstrong Auditorium: Lee, King, Jackson, Leftwich, Sewell, Terrell, and Chase. The team expects to upset the dope in winning the title.
GARRISON GETS GOOSE EGG
The Harrison Patrol boys' baseball team defeated the Garrison School, on the Monument Grounds by a 15 to 0 score last week. Barney was one of the stars for the winners.
ATTENDS PENN RELAYS
Messrs. Dick Temple, D. Vernard Bradley, Joe Byrd and Hots Humphries accompanied by Arthur Carter and Bruce Powell motored to Philadelphia Saturday to witness the Penn Relays. After the relays the group attended the Gay Northeasterners' dance.
SUNDAY ACTION WANTED
Manager, Web Lee and his Eastern Giants have an open date for Sunday and would like to get in touch with a strong nine for that day. The field at Twentheenth and C Street, Northeast, is available for the game. Call Sterling 9213 and ask for Mr. Haliburton.

Peterson's Case to Be Argued May 18
MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Arguments in the appeal of Willie Peterson, of Birmingham, were postponed until May 18.
Peterson was convicted of killing a white girl in Birmingham two years ago and has had two trials. The first trial ended when the jury failed to reach an agreement and the second terminated in a conviction and a death sentence.
Counsel for the defendant, immediately appealed the case declaring that the jury had been prejudiced by certain incidents during the trial including the charge to the jury by Judge Heflin and the placing on the jury a white man who had previously declared that Peterson should be killed.
