A release from the New York office of Norman Thomas, who was the candidate for President last year on the Socialist ticket, and who presided at the Continental Congress of farmers and unemployed held here May 6 and 7, describes in detail the occurrences in connection with the demonstration of the congress following a case of discrimination against a colored delegate at the Cairo Hotel here.
ELDER MICHAUX TO PREACH AT THE BALL PARK
"Discrimination against Negroes reared its ugly head in Washington, D.C., the very center and focus of the New Deal for America, during the week-end of May 6 and 7. "Swiftly and without compromise the delegates of the Continental Congress called attention to its existence by demonstrating in the streets of Washington on Saturday, May 6, marching a mile and a half from the Washington Auditorium to the Cairo Hotel, where a Negro girl delegate had been turned away 1 o'clock that morning.
Griffith's Stadium on Georgia Avenue, Northwest, has been secured by Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, pastor of the Radio Church of God, for a military memorial service, Tuesday, night, May 30.
"During the day reports came in of discrimination against. Negro delegates by the Government Tourist Camp in Washington. Norman Thomas lodged a protest with the War Department, which controls the Tourist Camp; his efforts to reach President Roosevelt during the day were unavailing.
An augmented choir of 150 voices will furnish music along with a band of 125 pieces of the veterans of Foreign Wars. Mrs. Mary E. Michaux will sing "Goodnight Here, Good Morning There."
Elder Michaux stated that his theme song, "Happy Am I," will be formally dedicated to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
Regarding securing the stadium, Elder Michaux stated that his church on Georgia Avenue was too small for his congregation. He held services at the Belasco Theatre and found it too small. He also tried the Washington Auditorium and had to turn away more than 2,000 people.
"Floria Pinkney, of New York, representing one of the locals of the Workers' Committee on Unemployment organized by the LLD, accompanied by Mary Fox and Anna Caples of the League for Industrial Democracy, went to the Cairo Hotel on their arrival in Washington.
"Therefore," said the radio preacher, "we have secured the ball park because it has the largest seating capacity of any place in the city. In order to accommodate the

H. U. Law Alumni Join Fight to Have Woman Physician at School
REV. G. W. BECTON SERIOUSLY SHOT BY KIDNAPPERS
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—The Rev. G. Wilson Becton, well known evangelist, is in serious condition, at the Graduate Hospital after being kidnapped and shot through the temple by two gangsters, late Sunday. The Rev. Mr. Becton had just left a revival meeting which he is conducting at the Broadway Athletic Club, Broad and Christian Streets, in company with the Rev Alfred A. Campbell, if the Little M. Zion Baptist Church, and his secretary, Simon Roulac. As the minister's car drew near the curb in front of 1506 Christian Street, the gangsters drew pistols and hurled the Rev. Mr. Becton's companions out of the car and drove off.
The unconscious form of the minister with a gaping wound in the temple was found a short while later in the car which had been abandoned by the assailants at Sevententh and Bainbridge Streets.
Searching for a motive for the attack, police abandoned the theory that robbery was intende. as the secretary was carrying near $1,000 in a small black bag. Officials are considering the theory that the Rev. Mr. Becton was "put on the spot" because of his crusade against the "numbers" racket.
Boosters' Club to Help Elks' Scholarship Drive
A club of young people known as the Scholarship Boosters' Club is giving a dance for the benefit of the Elks' Scholarship Loan Fund at Masonic Hall, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, Monday night, May 29. The Boosters' Club is composed of a group interested in advancing the cause of the race and is officered by the following persons: Joseph H. Walker, president; Fredie Phillips, vice-president; Mrs. M. H. Coates, secretary; Miss Willard Phillips, assistant secretary; Miss Marie Moses, corresponding secretary; and Mrs. Bettie Marshall, treasurer.
The dance is one of the efforts being put forth in a drive now going on to raise funds for the support of deserving and indigent young people of the race, who otherwise will be denied the opportunity by the Elks' scholarship campaign committee headed by Herbert E. Jones, with headquarters at 1216 U Street, Northwest. The receivers for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company have donated the use of the hall for the dance.

The subject for the elder's discourse on this occasion will be: "What Becomes of the Spirit, Soul and Body After Death?" In case of rain, the aggressive pastor stated that he would carry on the meeting just the same. He said there are cartins in the back of the seats; they can be let down to protect the people from the rain. He said that only the box seats and a few first rows down front would be affected.
Point out that Present Physician Has Wife on University Payroll
Atty. Dodson Says Article Carried Correct Motion Made in Meeting
The Law School Alumni Association of Howard University entered into the fight this week to retain the services of Dr. Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, who was recently ordered dismissed by the trustee board of the school as an economy move.
In a letter to Dr. Abram Flexner, president of the Howard board of trustees, the executive council of the alumni association took the stand that his reply to a letter addressed to the trustees by certain women of the university was ungentlemanly and discourteous; the council demands an apology.
The executive council in its letter also points out that the present male physician and his wife, both employed at Howard, draw a total of $6,000 in salaries despite the fact that the government has instituted a policy of employing only one member of a family in government service in order to spread employment.
Object to Male Physician
Young women of the university, in a letter to the trustees, had previously protected against the dismissal of Dr. Ferebee and suggested that Dr. Allen, male physician, be put on part time with Dr. Ferebee, which would permit the latter to be retained to administer to the girl students, because many parents as well as young women object to being examined by a male physician unless he is of their own or their parents' selection.
Last week the Tribune carried an exclusive story of a meeting of the local alumni association in which it was stated that Thurman L. Dodson made a motion in which he referred to what he called the "shameful and incivial" letter of Dr. Flexner saying it was a slap at the young women.
His reference was to Dr. Flexner's answer to the letter by the students asking for the retention of Dr. Ferebee in which the trustee head said that if they (the students) cared to pay her salary the board had no objection to having her remain. He also stated that those who did not like the present conditions at the university—both students and faculty—could quit.
Tribune Story Correct
Mrs. Alma J. Scott, president of the local alumni association, in a letter to the Tribune, this week, states that no motion of protest was entered, but that a motion to investigate prevailed.
Mr. Dodson, in reply, insists that his motion, which prevailed, did involve a protest, and that only in discussion of his motion was investigation referred to. He indicates that the Tribune story was true in every particular.
The following is a copy of the letter which the executive committee of the law school sent to Dr. Flexner:

TELL JURY COPS BEAT THEM TO GET CONFESSION
Third degree and police brutality made its appearance in Police Court Wednesday when Willie Earles, 430 Ridge Street, Northwest, told a jury, that he was beaten by Policemen George E. Cooper and Helms of No. 2 Precinct Station in an effort to make him confess to a charge of carrying a concealed weapon.
Earles was arrested Sunday along with Robert Groomes, 400 block of N Street, Northwest. Groomes was called as a government witness, but left the court when he was told to do so by officers, he said. Later Groomes was found leaving the court and brought back by Attorney Thurman L. Dodson who represented Earles. Groomes told the jury that officers beat him as well as Earles and made him state that Earles did not live at the Ridge Street address.
This was done, Attorney Dodson pointed out in order to establish that Earles was not at home and to support the concealed weapon charge.
Earles told the jury that the two policemen made him throw a bloody handkerchief out of a window of the precinct in order that he might not be seen with the telltale article. Both men related a story of horror in which they were subjected to severe punishment by the two policemen.
The jury quickly exonerated the men following a short deliberation. Assistant U. S. Attorney Milford Schwartz represented the prosecution.

Grand Lodge is Said to Owe $14,000 in Back Rent
GRAND MASTER IS PESSIMISTIC
Says the Membership Has Dwindled; Women are Dissatisfied
Officers and members of the Aiaca Grand Lodge and Order of the Eastern Star of Masons, were locked out of their lodge rooms in the new Masonis Temple, Tuesday night by order of the receivers for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, Frank B. Bryan and Gilbert A. Clark. The grand lodge and its auxiliaries occupy the three top floors of the six-story temple.
When the members gathered Tuesday night for the various communications, they found the doors locked, they milled around in the corridors for sometime. Rumors were bandied about as to the why and wherefore. No word from the grand lodge officers was given the members. The grand lodge had been served with a notice of a debt of $14,000 for back rent and the furniture and fixtures had been attached. The time for payment expired Tuesday and as no settlement had been agreed upon, the receivers ordered the doors locked. Much confusion and bad feeling has resulted from this act on the part of the receivers.
Attorneys O'Brien and Laskey, counsel for the receivers, when questioned by the Tribune, stated that they know nothing of the closing of the lodge rooms. It was stated, however, that Receiver Bryan took the responsibility to order the doors locked and also forbade the elevator conductor to carry any persons above the third floor.
Dissatisfaction has been growing for sometime among the women of the Eastern Star, who claim they have borne the burden of erecting the Masonic Temple and are now talking of seeking other quarters for their meeting.
Mrs. Lula W. Lewis, grand matron of the Eastern Star, told the Tribune that they would not have a meeting until next month and therefore, she could not say just what they will do.
No "Show Cause" Order
Another matron prominent in the order, stated that she felt that the receivers had overstepped their authority and did not issue a "show cause" order. "I feel," said she, "that we should not leave the men, although there is some dissension among the women who want to pull off to themselves." George Ambler grand master of the Masons, said that he could not say just what the men will do until the trustees meet the first Wednesday in June.
Masong Used Three Floors
In May, 1931, the grand lodge leased the fourth, fifth and sixth floors of the new temple, for the sum of $1,000 a month. They have paid $9,500 in rent since that time, which paid up to February, 1932, plus $500, leaving $14,000 due. The floors rented by the grand lodge are divided into several rooms which are sublet to various subordinate lodges and temples of the Eastern Star. These lodges and temples have lost membership and consequently have fallen behind in their rent, leaving the grand lodge to bear the brunt of the failure to pay. George Ambler, grand master of Acacia stated that the member (Continued on page 2)

MISS HAIRSTON PLEADS GUILTY TO MANSLAUGHTER
Alleged Common-Law Wife of Physician to Be Sentenced Friday
Miss Annie E. Hariston, alleged common-law wife of the late Dr Christopher C. Stultz, pleaded guilty to manslaughter before Chief Justice A. Wheat in the District Supreme Court, Monday morning. Miss Hairston was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson. The woman was indicted by the grand jury last winter on a charge of first degree murder in connection with the slaying of Dr. Stultz last February 9 while he was in bed at their apartment at 637 Third Street, Northeast. She will be sentenced Friday.
Spent Night on Bench
Miss Hairston testified at an inquest last winter that she had been attacked several times by the physician and was in fear of her life when she shot him. After the shooting, which took place at night, she left the apartment and spent the night on a bench in Union Station. She prepared breakfast for the physician's children by a former marriage and sent them to school. In the afternoon she took them to a moving picture house. She was arrested when she returned to the house from the picture show and was standing outside the apartment with a crowd that had gathered on learning of the shooting.
Howard Graduate
Miss Hairston claimed she and Dr. Stultz were married, but a checkup by police failed to reveal that such a ceremony had taken place in Alexandria where she said the marriage license had been procured. She claimed that as a young girl she went with Dr. Stultz while he was a student at Howard University. On learning that he was married she stated that she refused to further associate with him but on the death of his wife they resumed their relationship.
Student Nurses, Internes to Get Only $4 a Month
One hundred and eight student nurses and twenty-seven internes at Freedmen's Hospital will have their pay reduced from $10 a month to $4, in accordance to a ruling by Controller General McCarl sent to the Secretary of the Interior, Wednesday.
The gross compensation of these students and internes has been $480 annually, of which $120 has been in cash and $360 charged for subsistence. This base is pulled down to $408 by the 15 per cent cut which the controller said must be applied, which, with the subsistence charge remaining stationary, will leave the student and internes with $48 cash for their year's work. Although the government has reduced their pay, living costs, fixed by the government, remain the same.
The hospital employees were not affected in the old economy act, which carried an exemption of $1,000.

While John Richardson, 33, of 47 Pier Street, Northwest, is in a serious condition at Freedman's Hospital, suffering a stab wound in the chest which may have punctured his right lung, police of the Second Precinct are searching for his unknown assailant.
Richardson was stabbed about 10 o'clock Monday night on New York Avenue between Fourth and Fifth Streets, by one of three men as he was arguing with a woman. He was taken to the hospital in an auto driven by Clyde Patterson 1637 Sixth Street, Northwest, and detained for observation.
Test Case as to Exclusion of Negroes from Juries in South
Test Case as to Exclusion of Negroes from Juries in South
Butler R. Wilson, Veteran Colored Member of Boston Bar, Leads Defense; Attorneys C. H. Houston and E. P. Lovett, of this City, Associates, Present
Bv ROY W. WILKINS
BOSTON, Mass. (Special)—The question of the release of George Crawford, 28-year-old chauffeur, wanted by the state of Virginia for murder, on a writ of habeas corpus was taken under advisement by the United States Circuit Court of Appeals here Tuesday afternoon following four hours of argument by counsel for Crawford and for the state of Massachusetts.
The court was sitting in special session to hear an appeal by the state from the sensational ruling of Judge James A. Lowell on April 24, by which the judge refused to send Crawford back to Virginia for trial on the ground that Negroes were excluded from jury service in violation of the U. S. Constitution.
The decision of the court will not be known for some time, probably not before June 15.
Indictments Held Unconstitutional
It is the contention of Crawford's
lawyers, Messrs. Butler R. Wilson
and J. Weston Allen, both retained
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
that the indictment returned
against Crawford by the grand jury
of Loudoun County, Va., is void
because Negroes were excluded
from the grand jury in Virginia.
George B. Lourie, assistant state attorney general, held that on their face the indictments sent up by Virginia are in good form and that the Federal courts in Massachusetts have no right to examine into the constitutionality of the indictments. They hold that is a matter for the courts of Virginia to decide.
The defense attorneys hammered home their point that indictments returned by unconstitutional grand juries must be held void on an application for writ of habeas corpus by citing case after case in support of their positio nand by reviewing the whole history of the writ of habeas corpus. They contended further that the Federal courts have jurisdiction to examine behind the mere face of the indictments and to determine whether they in fact violate the equal protection of the laws and due process of law.
They cited revised Federal statutes in support of a statement that the District Court had power to "proceed in a summary way to determine the facts of the case, by hearing testimony, and the arguments of the parties interested, and if it shall appear that the petitioner is deprived of his or her liberty in contravention of the Constitution or the laws of the United States, he or she shall forthwith be discharged and set at liberty." Allen followed this up by answering Lourie's contention that the place to raise the issue of invalidity was at the trial, by the words of the Supreme Court in the celebrated Neagle case where Justice Miller, quoting Joseph H. Choate, said:
"If you have the power to interpose after judgment, you have the power to do so before. If you can reverse a judgment, you can anticipate its rendition. Whether you take hold of the case at one stage or another is immaterial."
Battle of Wits and Legal History
There was little drama in the hearing today. It was a delicate battle in constitutional law with lawyers for both sides digging deep into legal history and matching their wits and knowledge on the floor as Judges George H. Bingham, Scott Wilson and James M. Morton, Jr., looked down and interposed searching questions. Butler R. Wilson, president of the Boston branch N.A.A.C.P., and veteran colored member of the Boston bar, opened for the defense after George B. Lourie, assistant attorney general of Massachusetts, had spoken for an hour and forty minutes for the state. Mr. Wilson told of the decisions in which the highest court of the land has held that exclusion of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. J. Weston Allen, former State attorney general, closed for the defense, speaking for an hour and a
half. He emphasized that Federal courts had jurisdiction, that since Virginia had admitted in a statement in evidence that Negroes were excluded from grand juries, and since the U. S. Supreme Court had held repeatedly that such exclusion was in violation of the Constitution, then the indictment returned by the grand jury was and must be void.
The court showed considerable interest in Mr. Wilson's argument as to the constitutionality of the grand jury and the judges fired question after question at him. Judge Wilson spoke for his first and only time during the day in asking with Judge Morton whether the grand jury was not a legally constituted body if its acts in relation to white men were considered legal. Mr. Allen replied that such juries (where Negroes are excluded) were legal bodies in white cases but illegal in Negro cases.
At the defense table with Mr. Wilson and Mr. Allen sat Charles H. Houston and Edward P. Lovett, of Washington, D.C., and at the state table with Mr. Lourie sat S. G. Bacigalupo, assistant attorney general of Massachusetts, and John Galleher, commonwealth attorney of Loudoun County, Va.
The courtroom was packed all day with many of the foremost lawyers of the Boston bar in attendance. The N.A.A.C.P. lawyers in this case have raised a question which ha sexcited the whole country, especially lawyers and judges, because of the basic rights of Negroes involved and because of the finely drawn question o law being argued. No matter which way the decision of the appellate court goes it will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court for final decision.

CAIRO HOTEL DISCRIMINATION
hotel lobby to this fact; and as many as could be reached checked out immediately.
"The next day, at the opening session of the Continental Congress called for the purpose of declaring the independence of American workers from the economic slavery and social tyranny, 4500 delegates from forty-five states of the Union, on being told of the Cairo Hotel incident, shouted their anger. A statement was drawn up and signed by over 100 delegates registered at the hotel."
The delegation said, in part:
"Late last night at the Cairo Hotel in Washington admission was refused to a fellow delegate for whom a reservation had been made on account of her color. We refuse to stay in this hotel which has so openly and flagrantly discriminated against a Negro citizen. We cancelled our arrangements with the hotel and demand the return of, the money paid for rooms from this time on. We call upon all delegates to join with us in protesting this action by the Cairo Hotel.
"We pledge ourselves to take this matter to the courts of the United States and to see what justice is done to the particular Negro who was discriminated and the race of which she is a member.
"We protest against any segregation of Negroes, and demand that the basic law of the land, as embodied in the Constitution, shall be enforced."
Spontanous Parade
"Not content with this, when the morning session of the Continental Congress adjourned hundreds of delegates demanded that more be done. Immediately a parade was formed. Over 2,000 delegates, four abreast, and led by Norman Thomas, marched through the streets of Washington to the complete bewilderment of the police, who could only stop traffic to make way for the spontaneous parade.
"From the hotel steps Mr. Thomas declared, 'We have got to stop this systematic jim-crowning of our Negro comrades. It's all right to pass resolutions condemning these things, but the test is to be willing to fight race prejudice when and where it occurs. Isn't it peculiar that this hotel and other hotels like it find Negroes good workers, and porters and cooks, but they don't think they are good enough to sleep or eat at these same hotels?' From the windows of the Cairo Hotel Negro workers waved to the crowd below. The crowd waved back its greetings and sang 'Solidarity Forever.'"
He followed with a detailed state-of what occurred at the hotel, in which it is made clear that the refusal of accommodations was specifically based on the matter of color.
Release continues:
"Attorneys are at work and will start suit against the Cairo Hotel and will vigorously prosecute any further efforts brought to the attention of any of the organizations participating in the Continental Congress.
Thomas's Statement
"Norman, Thomas has been in communication with Marvin McIntis, Secretary to President Roosvelt...The following statement was issued by Thomas:
"One of the important results of the Continental Congress in Washington was to shed light on the extent to which discrimination against Negroes is carried in Wash-

ington, the capital of the nation. What the Congress and especially the Socialist and labor delegates from New York did to protest against the discrimination in the Cairo Hotel is well known.
"What is less well known is that the Tourist Camp owned by the government and operated under the general direction of the Quatermasters' Bureau of the War Department, also discriminates against Negroes. Owing to the week-end holiday I could not reach any of the high officials. I do not believe the facts were known to the administration itself. They are now..."
"Speaking for myself and the Socialist party, we believe that all this discrimination—economic, political and social—is not only unjust in itself but fraught with menace to the country. How can we either protest Hitlerism with good grace or hope to escape similar ills in America when we chronically carry out a more thoroughgoing discrimination against our colored fellow citizens than Hitler has as yet imposed upon the Jews?
"I call on men of goodwill of all races and parties to take cognizance of this fact and of the general situation which can only be ended by true democracy. Especially do I call on workers to vindicate that solidarity of labor which alone is our great hope.
"As one concrete evidence of better things I trust that the administration in Washington will put an immediate stop to the specific discriminations I have pointed out. Immediate pressure should be put upon it to achieve this result. The Socialist Party will not let the matter rest but will fight the case of discrimination by the Cairo Hotel and insist that the administration abolish discrimination against Negroes by departments of the Federal government.

Gold Rush In Colorado When Negro Reports Rich Find at Grass Roots
CANON CITY, Colo.—News of a grass-root gold strike last Friday sent hundreds of men into upper Copper Gulch, 20 miles southwest of here. A tent city was erected within a few hours. The strike was made by Robert Hoard, Negro prospector, who said he had found gold ore running $38 a ton at the grass roots. The rush followed receipt of assay reports here. The road to the region was crowded with motor cars the first day. Stakes marked claims throughout the gulch near where Hoard found his first gold.
White Wife Freed in Slaying Negro Hubby
LOS ANGELES.—A coroner's jury returned a verdict of justifiable homicide Monday in connection with the fatal shooting last week of Richard O. Greer by his white wife, Suwanna Greer.
Testimony at the inquest indicated the woman, said by her lawyers to be the former owner of an Asbury Park, N.J., hotel, gave up her friends three years ago, married her colored chauffeur, disposed of her property and invested $80,000 in the production of a play Greer was writing.
Willis Tyler, colored attorney for Mrs. Greer, told the jury that unhappiness beset the couple after they came to California and that the shot which killed Greer followed a long series of heatings Greer administered to his wife.
The question of whether Mrs. Greer will be held for trial is to be decided by the district attorney.

The Masons do not own the building, nor have they any equity in it at present. It is owned by the National Benefit Life Insurance Company which carries a mortgage of $205,000 on the structure. G. A. Clark, one of the receivers, stated that they would be glad to get a sale for the property for $250,000, although, he stated, the insurance company had put over $600,000 into its purchase and completion. A sale at such a figure would net the company less than $45,000. W. H. Fearonce, manager of the National Benefit office in the building, collects the rents for lodge rooms and the other rooms, stores, and offices in the building.
As far as it can be learned the Masons are not contemplating the repurchase of the building. The Masonic order has thus far, it is stated, put more than $300,000 into the project.
Building Begun in 1922
Ground was broken for the building, St. John's Day, June 24, 1922, by Jesse H. Mitchell, grand master. The 'construction was kept up during the Mitchell administration.
Charles W. Ford succeeded Mr. Mitchell as grand master in January, 1924. Construction stopped in that month. It remained in an unfinished state for more than five years.
In 1929 a deal was made with the National Benefit for money to finish the building, whereupon construction was resumed and the building finished in 1930.
The temple, as an asset of the National Benefit, went into the hands of the first receiver for the company, Daniel C. Roper, now Secretary of Commerce in President Roosevelt's cabinet, on September 9, 1931, when he was appointed. Messrs. Bryan and Clark, later succeeded Mr. Roper as receivers.

Strange Bedfellows
Last week the esteemed New York Age carried the following:
George S. Schuyler, in his Pittsburgh Courier column, "Views and Reviews," pays the following respects to the Negro press for their handling of the Scottboro case:
"If I did not know the psychology of Aframericans so well, I would be amazed at their gullibility in swallowing the propaganda and boresome lies and calumnies of the Communists in the past three or four years. With very few exceptions Negro newspapers have thrown discrimination to the winds and carried practically all of the lying Communist 'news' releases that have been sent to them.
"Although supposedly edited by intelligent men and women familiar with the events of the past ten or fifteen years, they have acted as if nothing had ever been done to help Negroes fight injustice and color discrimination until the International Labor Defense came on the scene to chisel in on the race racket..." We are happy to announce that The Age was one of the few exceptions among the papers in not carrying the Communistic propaganda. In our opinion the Communists are using this case and similar ones to put over their propaganda and do not really care for the Negro as a man or citizen. They merely see in him a tool with which they may foment a revolution. Some one—John Lewis Clark, we believe—when rating our columnists recently, placed the fiery George at the top of the list because his writings show not only versatility but arouse controversy.
Well, some things that George writes, in his column and out of it, do arouse controversy, notably his news articles and his later book about Liberia, which he has been charged with writing in the interest of American bankers and the Firestone interests.
Of course no one who knows George believes any such charge is true, although, superficially there are grounds for the allegation. However in the present instance it is easy to see that George is really making a case for his—at present—favorite organization, the N.A.A.C.P., and he resents any other group coming "on the scene," as he says, "to chisel in on the race racket."
And while we do not unreservedly sanction all the actions and procedures of the N.A.A.C.P. (nor of some Communists) we are far from regarding its excellent service as a "racket."
The Age of course is running true to form as almost the last of the stand-patters —agin everything and everybody that does not bear the seal, G.O.P. Politics is not the only thing that makes strange bedfellows.
Spite the Communists
The New York Times accuses the Communists of using the Scottsboro case for purposes of propaganda. Why shouldn't they? If this case and the Mooney case and the recent share-croppers' case in Alabama and the many more do not demonstrate the need of a militant party such as the Communists, then the Dred Scott case and the many cases arising under the fugitive slave laws did not justify the propaganda of Garrison, Sumner, Phillips and the other abolitionists, and the crushing of slavery which was the basis of such laws and decisions.
The Times further suggests that the freeing of the boys will tend to spike the Communist guns. And so it will. For, since the party exists to combat injustice—whether racial, legal, or economic—when these injustices cease to dominate, the party will disappear.
Hence the Times and some others—so they say—would free the boys to spite the Communists. So mote it be.
Dubious Honors
The winner of the prize of one hundred dollars in the short story contest conducted by Opportunity magazine was announced recently at a dinner in New York attended by over three hundred persons of the intelligentsia of both races. Among the speakers was Richard J. Walsh, white, of the John Day Publishing Company, who was one of the judges. According to the Pittsburgh Courier, Mr. Walsh "gave some excellent advice and criticism of Negro literary output and announced the winner of the contest. Mr. Walsh startled the assemblage by his frank comments on the worth of the manuscripts submitted. He declared them to be in the main amateurish and that none would have
been published by the better magazines. He said the writing was bookish instead of natural and that Negro writers, like all writers, should strive for simplicity and write of that which they knew."
Of course the speaker's criticisms should not be regarded as applicable to all persons of our race, nor to writings of every character. They do, however, go some distance toward justifying recent disapproval of competitions in art, music and other intellectual pursuits confined to Negroes.
It is held that such competitions tend to set up false standards in matters that are open to entry and reward to all alike, regardless of race. The Tribune endorses that view, and commends only such competitions as may be regarded as elimination contests, with final competition open to all and participated in by all.
All of us resent any announcements of competitions—even in sports—confined to whites; why should we countenance contests confined to Negroes? However well-intentioned, such competitions are of very doubtful propriety and value.
Even in the case of newspapers, to be rated as best among Negro publications is a dubious honor.
The Petersburg, Va., pastor of a large Baptist church hasn't found out yet that his recent increase in his congregation was due to his having given out two hymn numbers that were lucky numbers for the players of the well known policy racket, and not to his excellent sermons.
According to a bill now before Congress, the unsanitary and dilapidated alley dwellings are to go, and provision is made for their going, but no provision is made for the going of the dwellers.
The Flag Droops
From the Kansas City Call
The following editorial in the Call was provoked by the refusal of the local sponsors, in a national oratorial contest, to permit a colored boy to speak from the same platform with his white competitors.
The orations pertained to the U. S. Constitution.—Editor.
The thousands of young people who take part each year in the international oratorical contest believe the Constitution an ideal guide for the American people. It must surprise them that this code, drawn by the nation's founders, to put trial in the strife of civil war and approved by time and unprecedented expansion has produced so little toleration that a Negro and white boys may not praise it under the same roof, though its avowed purpose was "to form a more perfect union and secure the blessings of liberty."
Black breasts have been bared in its defense, black hands have helped create the social system of which it is the spirit, but no black voice may extol it.
No cry of "social equality" can be raised when a black boy faces an audience, predominately white and unfriendly to him. No self-interest need be afraid an unwanted speaker could win anything he did not richly deserve.
Were it not for prejudice, whites would see that, by barring Negroes, they make themselves appear afraid of fair competition. The flag must droop when such narrow-mindedness is enacted under the shadow of its folds!

Justice Takes a Short Cut
News dispatches reveal again the speedy procedure in the courts of the land when a colored defendant is involved. From Tyler, Texas, came this story last Friday:
Eugene Sharp, a Negro, was arraigned, tried, convicted, and sentenced to twenty-five years on a murder charge here—and the whole procedure required only seven and a half minutes.
When arraigned, Sharp pleaded guilty to killing L. K. Roberts in 1932. The trial began at once. The first twelve men on the special panel of sixty were chosen as jurors. One witness was called and quickly dismissed.
The whole episode borders on the grotesque. We are accustomed to hearing about the calm, deliberate, and impartial processes of justice. The unseemly haste surrounding the trial of Sharp borders too closely on the "blind-as-abat" type of justice which in its worst forms is justly described as legal lynching.
"The first twelve men on the special panel of sixty were chosen as jurors." Where, by the way, was the defense counsel? Surely he could not have been present, for it is inconceivable that he should not have challenged the qualifications of at least one talesman.

I. took longer to write this editorial than it did to bring Sharp into the court and send him out with a prison sentence. That gives you an idea.

Kelly Miller Says
The Recent Conference on the Economic Status of the Negro Reviewed by
Dean Miller thinks Good Will Come on the Conference but Seems Uncertain as to Its Direction and Efficacy.
A significant conference on Negro unemployment was held in the city of Washington, May 11, 12, 13, under the sponsorship of the Roserwald Foundation. The best known experts in this field, white and black, deliberated for three days touching relief of suffering and miser at the point where the pressure is greatest.
Unlike the race relations-conference which was held in this city several years ago which resulted only in fact finding and resolutions, this conference authorized a continuing committee to put its findings in practical operation by bringing its proposals to the attention of government authorities and following up the proceedings with appropriate action.
To one whose experience and observation span the overlapping halves of two generations, the old and the new methods of dealing with Negro relief and welfare furnish a basis for serious reflection and comparison.
In the former day, the missionary motive was predominant and all-pervasive. The stress of emphasis was placed on the heavenly side with the human side subordinate and subsidiary. Now the heavenly side is ignored, it not denied.

THE MISSIONARY METHODS
PROVED INADEQUATE
Forty years ago, the American Missionary Association, the Baptist Home Missionary Society, the Methodist Freedmen's Aid Society the Presbyterian Board of Missions for Freed men and other like denominational enterprise monopolized the field of philanthropy and charity towards the Negro. They dotted the South land with churches, schools and colleges and similar agencies of relief and character building.
The inadequacy of their method, to say nothing of the waste through duplication of effort and overlapping of work, soon became apparent. Thence arose the purely secular agencies, with larger resources which essayer to unify and simplify the task.
The General Education Board, the Rosenwald Foundation, the Russell Sage Foundation along with other foundations devoted wholly or partly to the Negro cause, now all but monopolize the field. The denominational enterprises which functioned so powerful hal a generation ago are now carrying on their work with diminishing zeal and energy and are subordinating their institutions to non denominational, secular or governmental control.

SCIENTIFIC SPIRIT
NOW DOMINANT
I sat through both of the Washington con-

spiritual and religious motive which sounded
so dominant a note forty years ago. The
scientific spirit is now dominant. Statistic-
are substituted for enthusiasm and zeal for
humanity. Crime must be counted, misery
must be measured, want must be weighed on
the scales and all must be appraised in term
of arithmetic. In a word, arithmetic must be
applied to the whole equation of human need
before any comprehensive remedy is forth
coming.
The necessity for all of this, I think, I un-
derstand and appreciate, and yet I can no
wholly divorce myself from the old concei-
that the heartfelt power of justice, love and
mercy must underlie all comprehensive schem-
for social salvation of my people.
The old and the new methods are neither
inconsistent nor incompatible. The religious
method by itself is partial, haphazard and in
sufficient. On the other hand, this hard, me-
talic, Christless charity is disappointing in
the long run because it has no ultimate aim.
hope and believe that there will be an increa-
ing understanding and appreciation of this
principle as social endeavor focuses more and
more on the Negro problem.

PRESENT ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL ORDER TREMBLING
There was a recurrent strain that ran through the conference like the recurrent theme of an opera. The existing economic, political and social order is trembling in the balance of change. The immovable standpatism of Mark Hanna and Herbert Hoover found no advocacy in the conference; the immediacy of revolution found only a furtive few. The constructive policy of F. D. Roosevelt, which tries out new things while holding to what time has proved to be good, constituted the dominant note.
The utter helplessness of the Negro by himself was rather taken for granted than openly expressed. The Negro problem, neither as concerns unemployment nor in its general features, can be isolated from the whole equation and solved as an entity by itself. The case calls for integral rather than isolated treatment.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MUST ASSIST PRIVATE PHILANTHROPY
In the third place there was the implied or expressed consensus of judgment that in the final analysis neither religious and denominational endeavor nor the private philanthropy typified in this great foundation would be able to grapple with the whole problem. The federal government under the firm and intelligent handling of Franklin D. Roosevelt, must and will grapple with the whole equation of unemployment and relief, in which the Negro will share, part and parcel, like the rest.
Religious and denominational zeal paved the way for more comprehensive and competent secular charity on the basis of private benevolence. In turn these private foundations are now but paving the way for the wholly competent support and control of the government local, state and federal.

Digesting the News
By Clifford C. Mitchell
HELPING THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS!
The "exchanges," releases, and propaganda literature received during the week have been exceedingly full of mass protests, marches, appeals, and whatnot, all designed to create sympathy for, and to extract funds to aid the causes of the various organizations and their momentary complaints.
There is no writer in America who is in a better position to understand the worthiness of attempting to secure equal rights in the courts of justice for the black man, particularly in the South, but because I have lived with and among prisoners for nearly half of my life I am also aware of the fact that the best way for the black man to be assured of his just rights is for him to improve his economic standing generally.
As a prisoner I would rather have one good strong, influential and respectable business or professional man pleading my cause than to have ten thousand marchers. Of course knowing something of publicity values, I'll admit that the ten thousand marchers would attract more attention and create more clamor, which would subsequently fill the "kitty" with more nickels and dimes, consecrated and otherwise, to carry on and further the spread of pertinent pronaganda.
If some organization, legal in scope, non-political in character, and embracing all factions were to come into existence to fight the legal battle of all prisoners, regardless of whether the particular case would make good publicity or campaign fodder, then the prisoners themselves, throughout the country, and their sympathizers, would contribute regularly to keep such an organization in sufficient funds to carry on the work. As matters stand now, all prisoners know that not one case in a thousand is given consideration by these protest organizations and then such a case must be a "natural" for campaign and publicity purposes.
Until such an organization, as illustrated above, comes into existence, this writer will save all of his protests and ballyhoos for the benefit of creating an interest in helping the Negro to better his economic standing through the fostering, maintenance and general encouragement of racial enterprises, or the increased employment of racial members in the white enterprises which will cooperate.
We should organize more protests and marches to the doors of Negro enterprises which need our help, or to the enterprises of whites which will give us employment, and if we would just expend one-half of the enthusiasm on such efforts that we do on otherwise useless and wasteful forms of propaganda, our newspapers would be more thriving for they would be helping to build up business and instead of reading of Negro bankrupts and failures we would be reading of Negro successes which in turn could wield vastly more power in righting the wrongs practiced on the blacks than any amount of protests or publicity marches will ever accomplish. Helping the Negro in business will be this writer's motto.
JUST A ROSE
NOTE—T. W. Hunster, former director of fine arts in the public schools, cultivated the thoughtful practice of dropping a rose on the graves of his deceased friends on Memorial Day. It was this act of reverence and devotion which inspired the following, thought in verse:
Whether the Spirit wanders
No one really knows.
So we pause in thoughtful silence
And drop a fragrant rose.
And we vainly try to reach it
By dropping just a rose.
Its fragrance may unite us
As toward the Heaven it flows
So let us keep communion
By dropping just a rose.

THE OPEN CHURCH
Oh, for a church with its doors standing wide
To welcome all mankind
Regardless of race or creed
That only tends to bind
In groups of selfish pride—
A church that will give to every soul
That for which it craves the most:
Not rituals and dogmas
Of which they so often boast.
But how to touch the seamless robe
Mrs. Lillian Furniss, of Indianapolis, Ind., is the guest of Recor and Mrs. T. J. Brown.
The need of today is a moral one.
Prisoners
It is a popular human opinion that we are all prisoners of life; caught like birds, behind bars against which we beat our wings frantically and desperately, in an effort to escape. Of course sometimes it takes bars and a cage to make a man do his best, for then he dreams of what he would like to do and be, and he sings from the fulness of his heart. But the truth of the matter is that we remain prisoners because we do not really desire to be free; and our worlds are narrow because we will not allow them to expand.
"Well," said a roommate once to me, "hang anything you like on the walls. I never look at them anyway." I suppose it never occurred to her that she was making her world a very narrow, barren cage in which she was a captive by choice, not decree. There are many people in life like that. They spend their days bemoaning the fact that they are captives; instead of making their fellow humans happy with their songs. Rather than enjoy the sunshine that glints through the bars and the perfume of the flowers that floats in to them, they hang their heads in dejection and never see the walls at all.
And what if there were no birds that could live in captivity, shut within a limited space and unable to feel their wings caress the air? What would bring the joy and song into our lives? For it is an interesting thing to note that the cage bird—like the free one—always sings. We keep him around because he has made his cage a tree, and his captivity a song and that song thrills us and makes us happy. It is like having a bit of sunlight living with us.
After all, the essential things which make up your world are within you. Your world is as big as your soul. It can be a Paradise, or it can be a cage. And if it is a cage the choice is still left with you as to whether you are going to beat your wings against the bars, or sing.
One great man has said that "the bird in his cage that sings all the time is not a captive." And it is true. For some songs may have been conceived in pain; but music itself is the offspring of happiness. And let me tell you, I have heard caged birds sing for joy!
IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
By C. LESLIE FRAZIER
Fortunate indeed was I to purchase "Darkwater," by W. E. B. DuBois (The Crisis, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York), last fall when the Crisis was putting on a bargain sale of miscellaneous books for only a dollar apiece.
Recently DuBois has been much in the limelight. I have been following his speeches in the Southern cities, and on one occasion noticed the heckling that he received. I also noticed the praises and acclamations from many Southern students.
His organization, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has also been in the limelight, favorably and unfavorably. His magazine, the Crisis, of which he is editor, has been having considerable controversy over its personnel.
With all these publicized differences I sought a hearing with the learned doctor to refresh my mind on his thoughts and his views on pertinent subjects and so, for the second time, I read his "Dark-water." My compliment to the book is that if it is still in print copies should be purchased and donated to the thinking and reading class of whites and I venture to predict that such a donation will do more real good, though subtly and quietly, than a similar amount spent on propagandized publicity efforts, marches, and mental brass bands.

Makes a Timely Plea for a Changed Attitude Toward Industrial Training.
To the Editor:
The cut in the budget of our public school system causes us to investigate the results of our present methods, and see if the money spent is producing the best results. During these depression years we can not afford to waste money even on education.
Here in Washington, industrial education is as a red flag waved in front of a bull. This is because of prejudice and lack of information. Living in the atmosphere of the Federal government and its departments, the "white collar" jobs have been their ideal for generations.
But owing to the proscriptions of the civil service with the photo as a means of identification, we find our group practically excluded from all but menial positions.
Those who must seek a livelihood elsewhere, are not educated for the opportunities offered. Our school system has not adapted itself to our changing opportunities.
Effort should be made early in a child's school life to determine what his bent or natural aptitude is. The average regular grade teacher does not know anything about craftsmanship and can't recognize its value.
It was a great mistake to take the trained manual training teacher out of our graded school below junior high school. True a few trained teachers give general but very inadequate supervision to this work.
Below the junior high schools this work of manual training should be in the hands of experts in this line, who will train and observe pupils for selection for industrial education in trade schools of high school grade.
When we see our church, fraternal, school, and housing buildings being constructed by other than our group we see our wasted opportunities.
The first prerequisite of an education is that the recipient can earn his own living. Are we meeting that specification?

New Marriage Laws of New York
and of Sosviet Russia Compared
by a Resident of New York Who
Was Married in Russia.
To the Editor:
New York State under a bill
signed by Governor Lehman, May
2, will recognize no common law
marriages contracted in the future.
Existing marriages, contracted under the common law, are
not affected.
In order to be valid hereafter, a marriage must be a ceremony performed: (1) by a clergyman, (2) by a mayor, recorder, or city clerk, or (3) by a judge or magistrate. In addition, a legal marriage may be just a written contract, signed by a man and woman, two witnesses and a notary, and filed within six months with the clerk of a county. In this latter case a legal marriage becomes little more than the agreement of two people to live together.
It is interesting to compare these regulations, with those prevailing in the Soviet Union and in France where only civil marriages or divorces are valid. In Russia people who wish to marry or divorce register themselves at Zags. Births and deaths are also registered at Zags. (There are no illegitimate children.) In Russian, Zags is the abbreviated name of the "Bureau for the Registration of Civil Actions and Occurences." No special formalities are required for either marriage or divorce. The matter can be arranged in a few minutes.
The identity of the parties to the marriage may be proved by certificates, documents, witnesses, or by other means which may be determined by the official in charge.
The law provides:
"The said official, after making an entry of the marriage in the register of marriages, shall read the same to the parties to the marriage and shall declare the marriage to have been contracted according to law.
"Immediately upon recording the marriage, the official shall, upon the request of the parties thereto, issue to them a certificate of marriage.
"The marriage shall be deemed in effect from the moment the entry thereof is made in the register of marriages."
By abolishing the religious ceremony, marriage was freed from the hands of the church, the prey of ancient superstitions and clerical domination, and a formidable blow was struck at clerical control. Marriages otherwise than the civil contract have no legal significance and obligation.
The matrimonial age is 16 for females and 18 for males. Persons
intending to marry must be of sound mind.
No person shall be capable of contracting a new marriage who is already living in a state of registered marriage, or of unregistered marriage having the same validity as registered marriage.
Marriage is prohibited between all relatives in direct line, and between full or half brothers and sisters. The impediment to marriage between relatives mentioned above shall include likewise consanguinity arising from birth out of wedlock.
No marriage may be contracted without the mutual consent of the parties thereto (there is no compulsory marriage).

Haitian Government of President Vincent Severely Assailed by a Journalist of Port-au-Prince.
To the Editor of the
the Tribune:
It is my cherished hope that you will allow me sufficient space in your fair paper, to submit to the opinion of the American public, a short and true picture of conditions in the Republic of Haiti.
Not so long ago, by special permission of the Department of State of the United States, Mr. David P. Johnson, an American citizen then collector of customs of the Port of Port-au-Prince, was turned over to Haitian authorities, to be prosecuted for fraud and graft in the discharge of his duties.
On that occasion, the Government of the United States exhibited a wonderful manifestation of its high regard and respect for justice, regardless of racial or national considerations. Mr. David P. Johnson and his partners in fraud, are actually in jail, awaiting trial that is—Justice.
Let us consider now, another case of fraud, graft, and bribery in which all the parties involved are Haitian citizens. A Mr. Edgard Fanfan, governor of Port-au-Prince, was accused by the newspaper Le Courier-Haitien, edited by Mr. J. Jolibois fills of having pilfered the municipality of La Gonave of several thousand dollars. A committee of investigation was formed, which in due time made a report sustaining the accusation, with all the facts and evidence.
Mr. Edgard Fanfan, not only admitted the fraud, but went so far as to explain the manner in which the Mayor of La Gonave was briebed in order to carry his scheme to a successful end. What happened then?
The head of the Haitian government, Mr. Stenio Vincent, instead of promptly dismissing and turning over Mr. Edgard Fanfan to a court of justice, appointed him, a member of his cabinet as secretary of commerce and public works. At the same time, Mr. J. Jolbois fils, a patriot well known, and editor of the newspaper which made the charges against Mr. Edgard Fanfan, was thrown in jail and the newspaper suppressed after a decree of martial law had been issued by the President Vincent.
Another editor of another paper, a Mr. Callard, made some charges against the President Vincent, namely that of having accepted a bribe of thirty-six thousand dollars from the Electric Co. of Portau-Prince, in order to help said Company in litigations pending between them and the government of Haiti. This Mr. Callard, was also promptly thrown in jail and his paper suppressed, together with ten other newspapers, which dared to comment on the events. Mr. Jolibois fils is still in jail, since August, 1932, and up to this time, no indictment has been returned against him.
What has become of justice in the cases mentioned here? Does it not appear that there is one brand of justice for some people and another for some other people? Moreover, with martial law in vigor, it is impossible for any one to question openly any act or acts of the present government officials.
Armed with this weapon, President Vincent feels safe and secured from charges or even the mildest criticism.
The true friends of justice in Haiti, under the leadership of Mr. Jolibois fils, are contemplating to send a petition to the Senate of Haiti, requesting this great body to see to it that the same justice, applied to Davis P. Johnson, be also applied against the President Vincent and his confederates.
Sauce for the gander, must be sauce for the goose.
GERARD JOLIBOIS,
Port-au-Prince, Haiti,
May 3, 1983.
In St. Paul, Minn., a woman had
been given a six-month jail sentence
for perjury. Her family consisted
of husband and two children.
Poor, but proud, determined to die
rather than face disgrace, they
drove their car out on a lonely
road and turned on the gas. A few
hours later their bodies were in
the morgue.
Saints passed with the age of
miracles,
Heroes still survive.

What Good are We? Dance Holds Spotlight
By VIVIAN TURNER
Social Washington had one busy week—preparing for, rushing to and trying its best to see and remember who and what at the memorable kaleidoscopic function of the What Good Are We? on last Friday night.
Notwithstanding the before and after parties, teas, breakfasts and what not, there were more than the usual late season social amenities in evidence. However, there is space for only a few.
Well, the great event has passed, the much heralded and talked of "What Good Are We?" dance. It was indeed a wonderful sight. One peeping in upon the spectacular scene was reminded of a veritable fairy land with variegated colors of paper hanging from the ceiling, huge caricatures of Satan with blinking eyes perched here and there. Balloons of many colors were suspended in mid-air, while the merry dancers fitted to and fro, dressed in costumes of every description.
As predicted, pajamas seemed to be the prevailing costume. Rhetta Braswell from Atlantic City wore a very becoming suit of green silk;
Evelyn Gardner, realistic apache; Ethel Holland; Holland maid; Buster Coates, 1914 pimp; Earl Carrington, gingham rompers representing Topsy; Jame Euell, Russian; Dr. W. A. Goodloe, pierrot fancy costume; Frances Lattimore, unique Japanese creation.
Robert Lattimore, as Jimmie Walker; Evelyn Morris, attractive beach creation; Lillian Means, Colonial maid; Clifte Maney, Martha Washington costume; Evelyn Crawford Reynolds, from Philadelphia, black satin cigarette girl; Dr. Henry Greene, sport costume; Duke Allen, Atlantic City, mid-summer beach outfit; Carter Marshall, French gigolo.
Dr. Marcus Wheatland, sport; Walter Turner, overall suit; Mrs. Aubry Marshall, dance costume; Nettie Powell, stunning gypsy creation; Gerald Allen, from Baltimore, clown; Mrs. Gerald Allen, Hawaiian; Attorney Slim Hamilton, from Pittsburgh, Greek athlete; Lawrence Smith, track suit; Theodore Green, novelty mess jacket suit.
Ralph Young was extremely comical as a baby, with baby's cap and gown; Portia Whittingham, colored organdy ruffled French creation; Louise Young Lawson, silver-headed, fitted costume with large head gear; Emma Green, Japanese; Agnes Williams, yellow and black novelty pajama suit.
Aileen Carrington, pajamas with organdy collar and puffed sleeves; Raymond Glascose, attractive clown suit.
I must stop here, but this is only a casual glimpse at the dancers as they passed. However, the reader can get an idea of how attractive and memorable a picture was made with these styles showing up in the spot light. Among the many visitors at the dance were:
Mr. and Mrs. Hobson Reynolds, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. and Mrs. Maceo Morris, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Madam Sarah Washington, Gardener Pinkett, Richard Allen, John Bush, and John Wing, of Atlantic City; Miss Eunice Shreeves, of Trenton, N.J.; Dr. Gaylord Howell, of New Brunswick, N.J.; Dr. Carter Marshall, Dr. and Mrs. Harold Amos, Robert Lattimore, and Dr. Phillip Brooks, of New York City; Juice Jamerson of Wilmington, Del.
Mrs. Rhetta Braswell, of Atlantic City; Koogee Harris, Slim Hamilton, Attorney Givens and Dr. Aubrey, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; Dr. Marcus Wheatland, of Camden, N.J.; Dr. John Nicholas, of Newark, N.J.; Mrs. Aileen Reed, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. and Mrs. Forrester Woodard, Dr. and Mrs. Bernard Manning and Attorney and Mrs. Tanner Moore, of Philadelphia, Pa.
Mr. and Mrs. Gerald Allen, Miss Fannie Howard, Mrs. Etta Burwell and Jake Stewart, of Baltimore, Md.; Waverly Holland, of New York City, and Mr. Brewington, of Chicago, Ill.
The attractive decorations were designed by the Brown Sign Company.
Before the dance many informal parties were held. The popular Woogie Harris, Attorney Slim Hamilton, William Snyder, Attorney Givens, and William McPheron, of Pittsburgh, Pa., held open房 for their Washington friends at their spacious quarters in the Withelaw Hotel; Mr. and Mrs. William Hurst were hosts to quite a few out-of-town visitors and local friends; Oscar Frederick's apartment was the scene of a jovial gathering. Here and there various crowds met to get into the spirit of the occasion.
After the dance the guests departed in many directions to partake of breakfast before going to bed. Some wended their way to the Crystal Caverns where breakfast was served. Eugene Davidson was host to a number who dared follow him. The Luncheonette as usual, with its private booths, was quite crowded with this hungry crowd.
THE BOOBS GO TO
THE COUNTRY CLUB
On Saturday night, May 20, the Boobs, a popular club of girls composed of Arleen Harris, Mercedes Rector, Virginia Butler, Dewitt Perkinson, Sue Lucas, Robbie Lofton, and Bernice Edwards, entertained with a swanky affair at the Country Club. Those who were in attendance praised the hospitality of the guests and in the estimation of some it overshadowed the dance
When "Home, Sweet Home" was played by the Four Dots, who furnished - music, again the crowd sought diversion. A large party motored to Arundel to partake of

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1933
Youth's Corner
By Alvin (Chick) Webb
COLLEGE AND EDUCATION
While lying abed last week, attempting to recover from my valiant battle with Senor Grippe, I spent part of a day in reading a very interesting if thoroughly cynical missive from one who I presume was an elder observer. This reader evidently desired me to answer each of the folliwng questions:
What happens to our enterprising and ambitious college graduates after they graduate from the schools of higher learning?
What plans are they formulating for leadership?
Do they consider themselves "above" the masses of the down-trodden and segregated? Are they entirely oblivious to the work that lies before a youthful generation?
Far be it from me to attempt to answer these controversial issues. Perhaps some youthful college students who read this article may possess both time and knowledge to make answer. Anyhow, the gentleman desires enlightenment.
*** ***
THEY TELL ME THAT—
A former cronie of mine, who was once noted for his social discrepancies around town, recently "joined" Elder Michaux's flock—result—he now ranks next to the Elder and has become editor of said church's paper.
L. J. W. Hayes has singled me out as one of his representatives at a meeting of all government employees—purpose—to inaugurate an inter-departmental athletic association for colored employees... such large ideas for a not-so-large male specimen...I must publicly thank the same gentleman for his two complimentary tickets to the Jig Saw Saturday Night dances at the Lincoln Colonnade...sorry that I could not take advantage of them though—reason—lack of time and increasing demands on your dear friend's time.
If an accurate census was to be taken of the various colored Federal employees' avocations one would find several embryo writers and authors, any number of budding poets and artists, and a batch of clergymen, electricians, former school teachers and depression-hit lawyers...plenty talent "in dem dar messengers."
The attractive miss will wear organdy dresses spotted with red dots aplenty this summer, while the gentlemen will gallavant about in white linen suits, white shirts and black ties, not to mention the necessary white "slippers"...all that the writer needs therefore is the linen suit, and I'll knock 'em cold.

REMINISCING
On the last appearance of this feature, I began a memory series with the above heading. Evidently some of my readers liked it well enough to write in "asking for more." Consequently, I am continuing them.
At a New York Track Meet One of the greatest events in the lives of New York's youthful athletes is the annual Boys' Club Meet that is held each winter in one of the armories in the big city. Representatives of the various boys' clubs all over New York, which comprise Jew, Italian, Irish, German, Negro and various other nationalities, lend most cosmopolitan aspect to these attractive games that always produce keen rivalry and strong competition.
In 1928, the Utopian Boys' Club, a Negro organization, entered a strong line-up in these games. Wen, Nick, Sid and myself were members of this club and were entered in the respective events of our class (115 pounds). Although the four of us had made our marks in Y.M.C.A. and other inter-club competition, this particular meet was a complete novelty to all of us. C.B. Jones, our clever coach, placed all four of us in the 70-yard dash and the 440-yard relay that night. As previously mentioned, the competition was gruelling and Nick and Sid were eliminated in the semi-finals after some devastating trials. Wen and I managed to last out until the finals.
After getting an eyeful of the other thrilling events. Wen and I proceeded to prepare ourselves for the "grand finale." As we approached the starting line, cries of "Beat those N—; Beat those N—" were shouted by a bunch of rival Italian rooters seated directly above the starting line. This chant was followed in monkey-like fashion by other nearby spectators, until it dissolved into a swelling crescendo of catcalls and jeers.
In order to "get their goats," Wen and I rushed over to each other and shook hands, as much as to indicate that the race was just between the two of us—and "may the best man win!"
Per coach's instructions we took the two end lanes of the track, without as much as glancing at the faces of our four competitors who were an Irish boy, an Italian, a Jew and a Brooklyn colored lad.
As the gun fired, the writer took a nasty "slip" but got up in time to notice that Wen was leading the pack. By some seemingly inhuman burst of speed, I managed to overtake all except my teammates, Wen, who led the pack up until the 60-yard line, from where we ran a virtual tie to the finish. The judges decided in my favor—reason—I had more of the tape on my shoulder than did Wen.
Need I add that jeers turned into cheers and we were the cynosure of all eyes. To put a capstone on a grand night, our relay won the event by fifteen yards—and the Utopian Boys' Club made its marks.

James E. Miller, veteran musician, will lead his Community Centers Band in its first open air concert of the Summer season at Franklin Park, Fourteenth and K Streets, Northwest, on Friday, June 9. The program will begin a 7:30 p.m.
The complete schedule for the summer has not been completed, but it is determined that the band will present a series of twelve concerts and will close the last Friday in August. The Community Centers band initiates the season this year in government parks.
Professor Miller has had a long and successful career as a musician and has taught music for a quarter of a century. He is a graduate of the Matthews School of Instrumentation, Arrangement and Harmony, Chicago, and the Harlem Conservatory of Music, New York. At the latter school he studied under Professor Bope.
Taught Duke Ellington
He trained and directed the first band at Howard University some 20 years ago and he has the distinction of having trained many of the prominent band leaders and players in the country. Duke Ellington was at one time his pupil as well as Claude Hopkins, noted orchestra leader. Prof. Miller also taught Weston Sheaf, cornetist, and M. Sandy, drummer, both now playing with Duke Ellington. Others who were at one time his students were Taylor, bass horn player with Cab Calloway, and Reginald, cornetist with the same orchestra. Taylor was a second lieutenant in the Dunbar High School Band; Reginald was also a student at Dunbar. Lanier, Chase and Mayo, Washington boys now in Europe with orchestras, were pupils of Professor Miller.
Practically every musician of note in the District studied under Professor Miller. Over half of the members of the Bluebird Orchestra, the Morning Star Lodge of Elks' Band, Odd Fellows' Band, Columbi Lodge of Elks' and the Masons' bands were trained by him.
Organized Boy Scout Band
He has organized a band of 30 pieces among the Boy Scouts of the District. Although this organization is only four months old it will make its first appearance on May 30 when the band will take part in the Decoration Day parade on Pennsylvania Avenue. Ages of the players range from 8 to 15. Prof. Miller also formed the Musicians Local, American Federation of Musicians, of the District. At present he is teaching the high school band, which position he has held for seven years. In addition he writes and arranges all of the music of the high schools for field day and other exercises.
Not a Jim Crow Band
Prof. Miller is especially anxious that communities desiring the services of the band will get in communication with him rather than with Col. U. S. Grant, 3rd, in charge of public parks and playgrounds. Prof. Miller stated to the Tribune that he has refused to have his band play in any section which is objectionable to the Army, Navy and Marine Bands.
He says he will refuse to play in segregated sections. He does not wish his band to be designated by color, but solely on its ability to play as other bands.
Some few years ago, he stated, his band was scheduled to play in Montrose Park, but on the objection of a white citizens' association in the neighborhood, the program was cancelled by the office of Col. Grant.
Frowns on Jazz
He stated that none of the service bands have played in colored sections in three years. The last time the Navy Band played at Tenth and U Streets, the concert
lasted less than an hour and after the program, Charles Benten, director, stated that colored people failed to appreciate the music and he would not play to any audience white or colored, where his program was not appreciated.
Prof. Miller also said that his band would not play at the Banneker Center, Eighth and Euclid Streets, Northwest, as the class of music he played was not appreciated by the audience. They wanted jazz and his band did not play that type of music. However, he said the band will give a concert at Tenth and U Streets during the Summer. Other programs will be given in parks in mixed neighborhoods.
Pay Own Expenses
During the thirteen years the band has played in public parks the men have borne their own expenses. He has contributed personally $2,500 to its upkeep, he said. People of the District have never given a benefit or given anything towards it support. The band will give a concert at the Second Baptist Church, Third between I and K Streets on June 4 and on June 11 the band will play at the Third Baptist Church, Fifth and Q Streets. Programs are usually given free in churches, but on some occasions a percentage arrangement is provided whereby the church receives half of the proceeds.
Columbia Temple News
At the regular meeting of Columbia Temple, Daughter Elks, at Elks' Home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, Daughter Ruler Marie Watson Swailes presiding, Grand Commissioner of Education Judge Wm. C. Hueston spoke briefly of the scholarship loan drive which is in progress. He thanked the Temple for its cooperation in making the midnight show a huge success. Joseph Walker and his committee of young people invited the Temple to attend the Sport Dance given by the Booster Scholarship Loan committee Monday night.
The committee sent to the Virginia state convention which was held in Newport News, made a report of the sessions. P.D.R. Marie M. Marshall was re-elected president and P.D.R. Lena J. Hart member of executive board. This committee was composed of Inez L. Jackson and Mildred P. Crawford, Mrs. P. W. Curtis, senior mother of the Emma V. Kelly Junior Girl Elk, invited the temple to a rainbow pageant and a picnic fostered by the junior girls. The temple passed a resolution indorsing Mrs. C. Knox for general community secretary to succeed Mrs. Gabrielle Pelham who is retiring. This endorsement will be sent to the community center department of the public schools.
The booster committee of which Mrs. Alethya B. Williams is chairman, is working for the reelection of Grand Escort P.D.R. Effe E. Stewart. Letters are being sent to all the temples in the jurisdiction.
Birney Community Center to Hold Industrial Exhibit

Now that spring is here with its dry weather, one is inclined to a bit languid and dragged out. The so-called spring fever seems to have a firm hold on us and our appetites lag. There is a need for change of food. We are tired of yolks and add sugar and pineapple juice; then add hot milk, cook until it coats the spoon in double boiler. Add dissolved gelatine to mixture. Set aside until it thickens slightly. Beat whites of eggs stiff and mix with whipping cream, then add pineapple and flavoring. When gelatine has thickened sufficiently mix in the cream mixture. Turn into a mold and chill. Serve coffee with this luncheon.

Now that spring is here with its balmy weather, one is inclined to feel a bit languid and dragged out. The so-called spring fever seems to have a firm hold on us and our appetites lag. There is a need for change of food. We are tired of our winter menus and we desire other dishes to take their places — foods that will give us pep; that are full of zest and are appetizing; foods that are substantial enough to be
A.
satisfying yet light enough not to be heat-producing, but in keeping with the season.
Fruits, uncooked cereals, green vegetables, both cooked and uncooked, even lamb, beef, fish, or fowl form a base, or foundation upon which can be built various well-rounded and complete menus.
Be sure that your choice of materials is perfectly fresh. Also be sure to make your dishes appetizing in appearance, as that is nine points of a successful meal as far as the enjoyment of the food goes. It serves to stimulate rather than oppress as does a meal seemingly thrown together.
If you desire a light luncheon for these hot days, try these:

LEMON MERINGUE PIR RECIPE BY SINGER
Miss Eunice Diggs, vocalist, prominent in Washington and Alexandria music circles, handed me the following recipes and comments recently. I have tried the suggestions here given and received wonderful results.
For a lemon meringue pie her method is first mix 1½ cups granulated sugar with 4 tablespoons flour, 4½ tablespoons cornstarch and 1½ teaspoon salt in the top of a double boiler. (Using part flour instead of all cornstarch insures a good body to the filling without danger of its becoming too stiff).
Then gradually pour onto this 2½ cups boiling water, stirring mixture constantly so it won't lump. Cook this in the double boiler at least 15 minutes (so it won't taste starchy).
Next beat 3 egg yolks until thick and lemon-colored, beat the cornstarch mixture into them, then return this mixture to the double boiler and cook 2 minutes longer.
Then remove the mixture from the fire, stir in 1/2 cup lemon juice, grated rind of 1 lemon, and teaspoon butter. (Adding lemon juice and rind after mixture is cooked gives better flavor and prevents the acid from thinning down the starch.) Cool this mixture, then turn it into a baked pie shell, and spread it in peaks and blobs with meringue.
Meringue Making
To make this meringue, first add a few grains of salt to three egg whites and beat them till they are frothy. Then gradually beat in 6 tablespoons of the finest sugar (confectioner's). Beat thoroughly, till it stands up in peaks when you lift the beater out.
When you have topped the pie with this meringue, set it into a slow oven (300 or 325 degrees). Bake for about 15 minutes. The oven must be slow, in order to dry the moisture out of the egg so the meringue won't fall later.
BEAUTY HINT

An Epsom Salts Facial
Give yourself an oesm salts facial and see how refreshed and youthful you will appear. First cleanse and cream your face then take two bowls of water, one hot and one cold. Dissolve a little of salts in each. Then steam your face with hot towels for ten minutes. Then follow with the cold towels. This treatment is magical.
Tea for Bright Eyes
When you make tea be sure to save the tea leaves. They make the eyes beautiful. Just place them dampened into cheese cloth bags and bind to the eyes very tightly (night is a good time for them). Leave them on for an hour or so and then remove. You will note that the puffiness and strain will have disappeared and the eyes will be brighter and have a restful look as of a child; also the sight will be much clearer. Try this.

HOWARD DEAN TO SPEAK AT MASS MEETING SUNDAY
Charles H. Houston to Discuss Scottsboro and Crawford Cases
Charles H. Houston, vice dean of the Howard Law School, and William N. Jones, newspaper reporter at the recent Decatur trial, will be the principal speakers at a public mass meeting to be held Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at Lincoln Congregational Church, under the auspices of the Washington branch of the Scottsboro Action Committee. Church officials have donated the use of the building.
In addition to certain legal aspects of the Scottboro case, Mr. Houston will discuss the latest developments in the celebrated Crawford extradition case in Boston. Mr. Houston is associated with the defense counsel in that case, where the United States Circuit Court of Appeals was called upon for a ruling on Judge Lowell's decision, only this week. Mr. Jones was present at Decatur during the entire trial of Heywood Patterson, and will give some interesting sidelights on the conduct of the trial, jury, judge, on the counsel for the prosecution and on the counsel for the defense. Mrs. Laura Glenn is the chairman of the local group of the Scottboro Action Committee and is assisted by George B. Murphy, Jr., Miss Arline Young, Mrs. Alice Nelson Williams, and others.
MURAL PLANNED OF SCOTTSBORO TRIAL
By T. R. POSTON
The barbarism of Alabama will be preserved for posterity if a project now being planned by Yay Sanches, young Mexican mural painter and pupil of the great Diego Rivera, is carried out.
Sanches, an assistant to Rivera in the disputed creation of a mural in the RCA building at Radio City, is completing a collection of newspaper clippings, sketches and pictures on the celebrated Scottsboro case with the view of reproducing the high-lights of the internationally famous case on the walls of some metropolitan institution in the near future.
The projected mural will be done in true fresco—that most enduring decoration used by the Egyptians more than 4,000 years ago to preserve for the ages their impression of that period. The same medium was used by Rivera in the creation of the openly Communistic mural in Radio City which recently broke another storm around the head of a man whose artistic life has been a series of tempests. It is certain that Rivera, believed by many to be the greatest mural painter of the century, will assist his pupil in the creation of the Scottsboro fresco-if, indeed, the master does not take over the project himself.
As a proletarian painter, Rivera is intensely interested in the position of the Negro in America and was so deeply affected by the Decatur verdict convicting Haywood Patterson that it was impossible for him to continue his all-absorbing work in Radio City for a while.
In his present mural, now threatened with destruction in the RCA building, the Negro plays an important part.
One of the most prominent figures in the foreground of the American scene is that of a colored girl in a student group. This figure is a likeness of Miss Ethel Carr, a Temple University graduate, who posed for the artist.
Directly beyond Miss Carr is the head of another Negro student in whose thick lips and flat nose a faint resemblance to the writer of this article may be discerned.
A Negro worker is included in the ranks of the unemployed men who march past South and Wall Streets under the vigilant eye of Commissioner Bolan's mounted police in another scene, and the painter was considering adding a "Free the Scottsboro Boys" placard to the others carried by the demonstrators stating, "We Want Work, Not Charity." "Free Mooney," and "Down With Imperialistic Wars Against Soviet Russia." But a Negro worker figures most prominently in the panel which brought about the dismissal of Rivera last Tuesday and ended in the threat of destruction of the whole mural. This panel shows Lenin, the patron saint of the Russian revolution, joining the hands of a soldier, a white worker and a Negro. Nelson Rockefeller objected to the likeness of Lenin.
Therefore, through the pupil,
Satches, and the master, Rivera,
Posterity may yet hear of and discuss
the fate of nine Negro boys
whose lives were placed in jeopardy
—if not lost—because their skins
were black.

SECOND SECTION
Washington at Random by George T. Waugh
MEN MUST FIGHT
Are you telling me? When two young and healthy louts, who have nothing more strenuous to do than guzzle gin, come to words—rest assured that a fistic demonstration is the next sure thing. Now, if you don't believe that men must slug, then ask Rap Payne and Bill Jennings.
You know me, Al—my job is to lay a kolum and not to furnish current bulletins from the fighting ring.
But, men must fight, and how! One of the best battle-royals of this social season was staged at the "What's" soieee. Did I have a ring-side seat? eYah, man! K-side, P. H., two of the village's most popular blades, put on a pugilistic act that made Tunney and Dempsey look like rank amateurs.
K. T. won the decision by a knock-out, which really wasn't a fake one, because the next day P. H. avers that he didn't know what happened to him. Punch drunk was still going strong.
At the dance Friday night one of the town's alleged "best people" was showing off and introducing a rather attractive French Canadian femme to sepia society as "class," but he failed to denote whether first cabin or tourist class.
Now, here is the dope on the classy Madame X, who at present is listed as a guest at a swanky hotel here. Yes, she really is a madame, but of a house (if you get what I mean) on Sullivan Street in Toronto, Canada, where all the Pullman crews camp when in that vicinity.
Rotten eggs to her sponsor for such nauseating guile, because of ethical considerations only, do I withhold the name.

INTRODUCING
TARZAN SECOND
Darkness and the Dark Rialto is alive with weird and fantastically costumed creatures on their way to the What Good Are We? dance. At the stroke of mid-night "it" comes stalking down the boulevard—a huge bronze mass of flesh and big flat feet. Around its loins a girdle of skins, long arms dangling ape-like at its side and with a listless stare "it" stalks on and on. Men scurry to the cover of doorways, women faint, but the Tarzan of U Street is not phazed in the least.
Yes, my chillun "it" is none other than the much touted Dizzy Vance, who has really been Tarzan all along—but only in modern dress.
One by-stander looking at Vance's enormous bare (not bear) feet wanted to know whether he was drunk or crazy to do such a thing. Another opines that he was either drunk or a disciple of a new cult, but I stick to the old, old saying "Nature in the raw is seldom mild."
A SAD STORY
Sherman had a dog. I say "had" because it so happens that one night last week. S. and Prince (a very cunning little police pup) went for their nightly stroll down U street. At the luncheonette, Sherman met the old gang, who in veigled the chap to skip around the corner and get a hooker of cutrate
As Hollywood would say, "came the next dawn" and our hero awakes from his lethargic slumber, fully clothed and holding in his hand a leash, but no dog attached to the end of it. Is he amazed or is he amazed, when, after many whistles, no doggie appears? That evening poor little Prince was found dead up Eleventh Street way where he had been struck by a car while looking for his master—and thus our sad story ends. Morale: Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor dog a bone—not a gin-mill.
HERALDINGS
Was the the "Lion Man" at the What's so disgusted with his costume that he went home and changed?
Who was the "big shot" about the main stem who gave his frau such a lovely beating at the very swanky dawn party up on Girard Street after the dance?
Has E. T., the taxi-man, reached that 3-trips-a-week stage to Baltimore to visit a very charming school marm there?
Creed Mitchell, of the main stem, did climb atop the piano, and since the gang couldn't drag, her down the spot was focused on her and she did a Helen Morgan.
Dutton Ferguson was a perfect African in his costume from the jungles. I bet if Bill George had seen him he would have mistaken the Ferguson for a native.
What happened to Carl Ennis at the dance?
Was anybody sober?

ELKS' ATTORNEY UPSET BY ACT OF N.B.L. RECEIVERS
Lawyer Hueston Seeks to Have Colored on Board of Mutualization
That Gilbert A. Clark and Frank Bryan, Jr., were unethical in their dealings with the Elks in efforts to mutualize the National Benefit Life Insurance Company was revealed in a statement, Thursday, by William C. Hueston, attorney for Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, who has been appointed by several hundred policyholders as their attorney in fact.
Mr. Hueston is also making efforts to have colored persons appointed on the board of trustees which will seek to carry out the plans of mutualization.
In his statement to The Tribune, Mr. Hueston declared:
"In pursuance of the effort made by the National Elks' Grand Lodge to assist the policyholders of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company in doing what could be done for the preservation of such assets as might be available for the mutualization of the company, as the attorney for Grand Exalted Ruler J. Finley Wilson, who had been appointed by several hundred policyholders as their attorney in fact, I have filed a petition asking for the appointment of trustees by the court to carry out the above purpose.
"Before I filed my petition I had been in consultation with one of the attorneys of the receivers, wherein we had discussed this plan. I had place in the hands of said attorney a copy of the proposed charter for the mutualization of the company for his study. The receivers knew through their attorney of the plan which I had for the appointment of trustees and I knew through said attorney that the receivers were considering a similar plan.
"The difference between the plan of the receivers and the plan which I had in mind was that in the appointment of trustees to carry out the effort to attempt the mutualization of the company, my plan proposed that some of the trustees should be members of the colored race. The attorney with whom I conferred was in agreement with the plan I had, except that he did not feel that we could get any colored men or women acceptable to the colored people to carry out this plan. I told him he was greatly in error on this point.
"He was in favor of the receivers' being the sole trustees. We were to have had further conference on this matter, but, just prior to a further conference while I was holding the petition in abeyance for the conference, the petition for the receivers was fled asking for the above relief.
"I am frank to state I was somewhat embarrassed because I had been urged vigorously by my client to file the petition which I had prepared. The purpose of the petition of the persons whom I represent, they being policyholders, is simply plain—we are trying to mutualize this company for the mutual benefit of the policyholders and the general public, because after all there is a public interest in this matter. "It is my purpose to be present on June 12, and urge in behalf of the policyholders I represent, the attempt to mutualize this company and urge, as a matter of right, that some representatives of the policyholders, all of whom are colored, shall be placed upon the trustee board for the purpose of carrying out this plan.
"My client is not operating in behalf of any selfish individuals. He is simply interested in bringing about the mutualization of this company in such a way that the colored people will not be humiliated by being eliminated from the set-up in the attempt to mutualize said company, since all the assets which will be used for that purpose and all the persons who will mutually take part are members of the colored race. Why should they be excluded from membership on the trustee board appointed for that purpose? Anyone sincerely interested, certainly will not object to having competent colored men and women to assist in an official way in this effort."
Playing ball in an alley near Eleventh Street and Sherman Avenue, Northwest, Monday, Overt Holmes, II, of 749 Park Road, Northwest, was struck in the head by a baseball bat in the hands of a companion. He suffered a painful contusion of the forehead near the eye.
club was the "hot spot" Saturday night, but why was it that so many of the supposed-to-be big-timers couldn't get transportation out there?
A toss of a hat into a ring has gained for many political offices, but the toss of a hat gained for Thomas Logan, 18-year-old youth, his freedom before Judge Gus A. Schuldt in the Police Court, Monday.
Logan and a companion, whom he identified only as "Red Mice," were arrested when they were found on the roof of a building in the 100 block of Madison Court, Southwest.
Taking the stand in his own behalf Logan told the court that "Red Mice" had thrown his cap on the roof, and he had gone up to recover it. When Assistant United States Attorney Michael F. Keogh asked how the cap could be thrown on a building 25 feet high, Logan, at the request of Judge Schuldt, tossed his cap with a resounding slap gainst the ceiling of the courtroom which is 20 feet high.
"Case dismissed" said the judge. The youth had been charged with attempted housebreaking.

All eligible candidates should report to the assembly hall at 8:45 a.m., the first day. The physical examination for the same group will be held in the girl's gymnasium of the Cardozo High School at 9 a.m., June 28, for all except permanent teachers and the graduating members of the Miner Teachers' College.
The practical tests in shorthand and typewriting are scheduled for 9 a.m., June 26, in Room 203, of the Cardozo school.

MOURNING PERIOD IN ETHIOPIA SLASHED
Haile Selassie the First, "annointed of God, lion of Judah" and Emperor of Ethiopia, much grieved over the death of a beloved daughter, has broken with the past and ordered that henceforth in his land death shall be mourned three days and not forty. Furthermore, good Ethiopians may weep, silently or loudly, and may put a black band on their clothes, but they shall not scratch their faces, leap, take off their clothes or dye their costumes either black or yellow. A proclamation to that effect has reached the American Capital from the ancient Christian African empire, with an explanation that this modernizing will do away with very elaborate emotional practices, the loss of which will be much regretted by consecutive elements of the population. Part of the new rules follow.
"After the three days (of mourning) have elapsed, those relatives and friends who come to visit the bereaved, should leave their cards or should sign in a book especially prepared, to indicate their visit The visitors who, after the third day come and sit with the mourners, are wasting time, because the bereaved feel that they must weep with each visitor. This is prejudicial. Therefore, let it be abolished."

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO GRADUATE 709 PUPILS
PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO GRADUATE 709 PUPILS
Teachers' College will Turn Out Its First Class on June 22
Prospects point to the graduation of the largest number of young men and women from the high and junior high schools of Washington this year in the history of its public schools.
Dunbar High will have the largest class this year since it has existed. The January class was 60, the June will approximately be 260 and the August class will be around 40 for a total of 360 for this school year.
Armstrong High has a tentative class of 135; Cardozo Business High tentatively 59, and Miner Teachers' College, 60, for a grand total of 614 graduates from the teachers' college and the three high schools.
This is the first four-year college class coming from the teachers' college. The class started in 1929 with 150 members, depression, death and other causes have reduced that number to 60 or less reduced that number to 60 in the four years.
There will be approximately 695 promotions of graduation from five of the six colored junior high schools. Garnet-Patterson will lead the junior schools with a tentative 290; Shaw 160, Francis 118, Randall 80 and Terrell 47. The Browne will not have a class graduating this year.
The grand total from the teachers' college, the three senior and five junior high schools is 709 persons to be affected by promotion and graduation in the public schools of the District.
VACATION SCHOOLS TO OPEN AS USUAL SAYS WILKINSON
Persistent rumors that the curtailment of the moneys for the District schools would prevent the vacation schools from being opened this summer were termed "false" by First Assistant Superintendent Garnet C. Wilkinson in a statement to The Tribune, Tuesday. Though pointing out that the school budget suffered a 15 per cent reduction and an additional slash by Congress, Mr. Wilkinson stressed that both the vacation and the night schools would be conducted as heretofore. "It is true that we have less money, but there is no question about either the vacation or the night schools opening," he stated. The date for the opening of the vacation schools will be announced in the pear future, according to the superintendent.
After all the cuts were made, the vacation schools have $25,000 upon which to operate this summer, as compared with the $36,000 appropriated for this purpose the previous year. The night schools will have to be conducted within the sum of $75,000 this year. Last year they had $6,000 to expend.

MORTGAGE HOLDER ASKS FOR QUICK FORECLOSURE
MORTGAGE HOLDER ASKS FOR QUICK FORECLOSURE
Lien of $96,000 on Property Insurance Company Paid $225,000 for
The receivers for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company were given 60 days, Thursday, by Judge Proctor, in the motions court, to show cause why the mortgage on Balfour apartment house at Sixteenth and U Streets, Northwest, should not be foreclosed by the American Securities and Trust Company, which holds a mortgage of $66,000 on the building. The property was bought originally by the insurance company for $225,000, subject to a mortgage of $96,000. After the company went into the hands of the temporary receiver the property was sold by orders of the court and bought in by the receiver for $125,000. The hearing Thursday was due to the effort of the American Securities and Trust Company seeking the foreclosure.
The attorney for the trust company claimed that there is a rental income of $2,000 per month for the apartments. He called the attention of the court to the fact that no effort had been made to pay the taxes on the property nor any portion of the debt. He stated that the National Benefit is in a great mess and in his judgment, it would not be able to pay anything to anybody who did not have security as in the case of his client. He also called the court's attention to the fact that in spite of these conditions, the court had recently awarded the temporary receivers and attorneys $27,000 in fees, the court having ordered bonds sold to make this payment. And since that payment, he said, the court had ordered an additional payment of $20,000 to the receivers and attorneys.
the receivers and attorneys.
"Therefore, under the generally poor condition of the National Benefit," said the attorney, "we ask for the foreclosure of this mortgage at once."
Attorneys O'Brien and Lasky for the receiverc asked for additional time so that they can realize upon the assets the of company through the legislation recently passed by Congress. It was upon this plea that Judge Proctor extended the time to 60 days to give the receivers the opportunity to realize on some of the assets held by them.
INDUSTRIAL BANK WORKERS ADOPT SLOGAN
In his address to the workers in the reorganization of the Industrial Savings Bank at the meeting at the Y.M.C.A. Wednesday night. Dean William B. West, of Howard University, suggested as a working point the slogan: "One share of stock in every home," as a campaign booster. This suggestion met a happy response from the workers and was immediately adopted as the slogan in the effort at selling the 10,000 shares of capital stock for Washington's first Negro national bank. "We must not let the Industrial Bank fail," said Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux, speaking to the workers: "we must not lose interest in this bank, and if we adopt this slogan of one share in every home, we cannot fail to put it over."
Mrs. Josephine Butts, former grand worthy matron of the Eastern Star of the District, said that she was favorably impressed with the slogan suggested by Dean West and felt that the campaign should succeed. "We need our bank," said Mrs. Butts.
Others to address the workers who met regardless of the hard rain about 8 o'clock, were W. H. C. Brown, president and conservator of the bank; Walter Carter, cashier and secretary of the organization committee of the proposed national bank; Jesse W. Lewis, Howard professor, who is directing the campaign; and the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church.
The director and bank officials explained the different phases of the bank program to the workers. The Rev. Jernagin gave a rousing speech endorsing the program and encouraging the workers.
The Rev. W. H. Thomas, pastor of Metropolitan A.M.E. Church, closed the meeting with prayer.

CONVERSION HOLDS BAPTIST CLERGY'S INTEREST
Rev. Marshall Said That He Was Accepted in Church on a Lie
The Baptist Ministers' Conference will meet at the First Baptist Church, Manassas, Va., next Monday, in connection with the closing of the Manassas Training School. The Rev. A. H. S. Johnson is the pastor.
The Rev. L. R. Frazier, pastor of the Alexander Baptist Church, Georgetown, was the speaker of the day for the conference. Monday, he preached on "The Way of Salvation."
His statement that the old fashioned conversion is needed in the church provoked much discussion following the sermon.
The Rev. E. C. Smith, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church, said there is no such thing as instantaneous conversion; that people converted have heard the word and been impressed maybe years before their conversion, and it is a result of mass evidence over a given period of time.
Pentecostal Baptism
The Rev. J. P. Nichols, acting secretary of the conference, stated that he believed in the Pentecostal conversion. The people heard Peter for the first time and believed then and there, 3,000 of them. "I leave it up to the Holy Ghost," said the speaker.
The Rev. K. W. Roy, pastor of Mt. Bethel Baptist Church, spoke of the thief on the cross and said, "If I were a god I would not pay much attention to one who did not believe in me."
The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, said that the subject of conversion is a fundamental one and should be settled by Baptists once and for all. "We Baptists have stood on. Thus sayeth the Lord," and we do not know just when the new birth takes place," he said.
The Rev. S. G. Lampkins said that santification is a progressive work and that regeneration is instantaneous by faith in God.
Rev. Marshall's Statement
The Rev. J. H. Marshall, pastor of the First Baptist Church in Southwest Washington, said that conversion is instantaneous and told of his experience in having been converted three years before they would accept him in the church. He was then accepted on an experience as told by him, which he said was simply a lie he manufactured from hearing others tell of their experiences.
The Rev. J. T. Smith said that he is a converted gambler and expert dancer. "A man does not pray until he believes," said the Rev. Mr. Smith, "and every man, when he preaches, should expect someone to be converted."
The Rev. Mr. Frazier was assiste din the service by the Revs. J. E. Green, G. Z. Brown, and K. W. Rov.
The Rev. Augustus Lewis, president of the conference, presided at the reception and banquet for the Rev. Robert Anderson, pastor of the Mt. Pleasant Baptist Church Monday night.

Up New Board, “‘Promoting” General
Secretary to Chairmanship.
several paragraphs, in one of which
he says:
Should Relieve General Secretary
of Some Work
“In brief, for the sake of policy-
holders first, stockholders. second,
what is dear to your hearts indi-
vidually—that the National Bene-
fit shail not fail, and last but not
least, for the sake of the colored
race, it is your duty individually
and as voting trustees in control of
the company, to see to it that S. W,
Rutherford shall be relieved of so
many ‘multitudinous and more ot
less clerical duties which can be
performed by others, {o the end
that he, the best asset the National
Benefit’ has by way_ of ‘personal
equation, will’have time to devote
himself to matters vital to the fu-
ture existence of the company, and
thereby give the company, the pol-
ieyholders and the stockholders,
real return for the salary he is be-
ing paid.”
A few paragraphs more and he
makes this important recommenda-
tion:
“If you three, Mr. R. H. Ruther-
ford, Mr, C. B. Lee and Mr. Morti-
mer F. Smith, as three out of four
voting trustees, which carries with
it the voting control of the com-
pany, so decide, you can elect a
board ‘of directors who will elect
8, W. Rutherford, first vice-presi-
dent and chairman of the board of
direetors, which will make him the
‘legal dominating factor in the man-
agement of the company’s affairs
and eliminate his being tied to that
desk with minor duties, You can
bring about the election of some-
one else as secretary, not general
secretary, just a corporate offi
ae eS ee
Chairman of Board
“In recommendng Mr. S._W.
Rutherford for the company’s high-
est office, chairman of the board,
which by the way is today through-
out the country the office insurance
companies, banks and financial in-
stitutions are giving to their dom-
inating personalities, you are but
following general practice and
keeping abreast of the times in
connection with the National Bene-
fit affairs. In my opinion you will
be derelict in your duties as voting
trustees if you permit S. W. Ruth-
erford’s modesty to influence you to
the contrary, but there are other
reforms required as to National
Benefit personnel.
“For instance, every mistake that
the National Benefit has ever made
is charged more or less directly
first to 8. W. Rutherford, and then,
be the crities white or colored, when
I attempt to refute the allegations
Tam met with the statements, ‘Yes,
R. H. Rutherford is president and
ail of that, and that fellow Smith
looks after the insurance and bank
matters, but S, W. Rutherford boss-
‘es those two, and the three of them
run the company, for they are the
executive committee and the board
of directors.’”
Mr. Dawson then proceeds to dis-
cuss, other officers of the company,
‘designating the new positions which
he asks to be created and the per-
sons to fill them. All of these ree-
commendations were ‘carried out
when the reorganization took place
a few days later.
He then takes up the matter of
the board of directors, advising that
it be increased to fifteen, including
the six chief officers he has recom-
mended: R, H. Rutherford, presi-
dent; S. W, Rutherford, first vice-
president and chairman of the
board; Mortimer F. Smith, second
vice-president and comptroller;
John R. Pinckett, third vice-presi-
dent and agency director; W. A.
Warfield, fourth vice-president and
medical director; and C. B. Lee,
treasurer.
He then goes on:
Donate Stock to New Board
Members”
“T recommend that Walter H.
Brooks and J. Finley Wilson, both
nationally prominent residents of
Washington, be asked to serve
without any restrictions as to pur-
chase of stock. It will be easy
enough to assign each of them a
share or two of stock to qualify as
a director. That will make eight
‘out of fifteen directors residents of
Washington.”
He assented to the continuance
of Louis Washington, of Chicago,
and William Newman, of Philadel-
phia, although he would have pre-
ferred Robert S. Abbott or Oscar
DePriest for Washington.
He recommends asm new mem
ber, Prof,\John R. Hope, of More-
house College, first ghoice, and Dr.
W. H. Harris, “who,” he cave, “I
understand, in addition to being
well Enown and guite influential, as
well as wealthy, is my second
choice.”

fetter which was written by Alfred
B. Dawson, a fiscal adviser, to the
Voting trustees of the National
Benefit. Life Insurance Company
(the first half of which was partly
copied and discussed last week)
dealt with his plea for a reorgani-
zation.
The letter was dated February
20, 1981, at which time the affairs
of the company had, in Mr. Daw-
son’s opinion, reached a critical
stage whch he thought demanded
drastie action,
He proceeds frankly to analyze
the qualifications of the offers of
the company and makes. sugges-
tions as to the reallocation of work
and duties.
Dawson Was Misled
Before taking up’ these analyses
Mr, Dawson’ discusses certain mat-
ters which concerned the old policy
contracts, which eontracts he evi-
dently thought had been replaced
by others based on, proper actuarial
calculations. But, as shown in last
Week's arlicle, very little progress
had been made in that direction and
the impairment was actually even
greater than Dawson thought it
would have been, had not his ree-
ommendations been carried out, as
he thought they had been, “He
rays:
“Mind you, T am not. talking
about Standard Division but Na-
tional Benefit policy obligations.
The National Benefit, if it had nev-
er taken over the Standard Division
and had continued using those old
policy, contracts, both ordinary
and industrial, ‘not only would
have had its capital and surplus
wiped out, but the reserves would
now be impaired to the tune of ap-
proximately $300,000. It has. done
my heart good to see the president,
Mr. Smith, and Mr. Pinkett face
adverse facts and immediately go
to work to correct the same regard-
ess of any personal embarrassment
in the matter, all of which has been
done not for themselves nor, just
the stockholders, but for the bene-
fit of policyholders, and as I might
better put it, the colored race.”
‘Mr, Dawson then proceeds to dis-
cuss the various officials, including
their fitness for certain duties, This
discussion js prelimnary to the rec-
ommendations as to new assign-
ments and additions to the board
of directors whihe he makes. He
begins thus:
“Tt may appear from matters I
have commented upon that I am
laying at the general secretary's
door some of the unfortunate situa-
tions which may bring about re-
sults so disastrous not only for the
company but the whole colored in-
surance business as well. This is
not the case, for I could use up
many sheets of paper setting forth
the many helpful suggestions and
constructive reforms which the gen-
eral secretary has been directly re-
sponsible for bringing about.
General Secretary Overloaded
“My criticism of the general sec-
retary is that he has himself loaded
to the gills with a lot of effice de-
tail that can well be performed by
others, duties way beneath the dig-
nity of his office, and being such a
bear for daily labor he will not and
does not take the time to examine
into most important company trans-
actions where the very life of the
National Benefit is at stake. Us-
ually if he takes a hand at all on
vital matters, it is to step into the
middle of a program without thor-
ough; knowledge*of all the circum-
stances and -considerations that
have been taken into account by
other officers, Insurance Depart-
ment examiners, and your, humblé
financial adviser, and the results
are as might be expected.
“As previously stated, on the few
occasions when I have been so for-
tunate as to get the general secre-
tary away from his routine work
long enough to take up important
matters, I have always found that
when he was fully informed on a
matter his advice and counsel were
most, beneficial, but if I were asked
to pick out a tough job for any-
fone, my answer would be, try to
get’ the general secretary’s nose
Out of a lot of correspondence for
about five minutes. Yes, he is al-
ways courteous but also. always
desk busy, and the unfortunate part
of it all is there never as been a
time in. National. Benefit affairs
when his advice and counsel, to-
gether with full co-operation’ and
ictive participation in handling im-
portant National Benefit , affairs
were so badly: needed.”

time we had the Standard Life deal
on, and several times since, he has
asked me to serve, but this I havo
always politely side-stepped, first
‘on account of loyalty to National
Benefit, and secondly because I feel
T will have done enough for the
colored race if we can pull the Na-
tional Benefit through and set it up
where it ought to be.”
None of the four influential men
he has named are stockholders, but
he meets that difficulty and sug-
gests three other first choices and
several second:choices. He says:
“If you wish I will be glad to
call both President Hope and Major
Moton on the long distance phone
and sound them out for you, but in
their case, as well as in the case of
Mr. Wilson and Dr. Brooks, I
would not make it a condition pre-
cedent that they subscribe for stock
as a first step to get their consent
to act as directors, for no doubt
all of them will voluntarily later
wish to subscribe for stock and for
a larger amount than you would
have had the nerve to ask them at
this time. Briefly, be big about it.
“Now we are down to but three
directorships open, if all of the
above accept. Perhaps it might be
a good stroke for more reasons
than one, and in particular because
you all will admit he appears to
have a good sound grasp of insur-
ance, to invite C. C. Dejoie to be-
come a director. At least Presi-
dent Dejoie, of Unity, is my first
choice for New Orleans and that
territory, because we all know him.
My second choice for New Orleans,
if Mr. Dejoie cannot serve, is S.
W.. Green, grand chancellor,
Knights of Pythias.
“Then I believe you should hop
clear over to the state of Texas
and try to get such an outstanding
figure as William H, McDonald
banker, at Fort Worth, and it will
not do a bit of harm to come back
to Mississippi and close your board
with R. R. Chureh, of Memphis,
Tenn,
Some Second Choices
“Of course there are other pro-
minent men nearby like P. B.
Young, of Norfolk, Va.; George H.
Bates, of Newark, N.J.; Dr. Shelly
George, of Paducah, Ky., and it
might be very nice to have men like
BV, Baranco, grand master, Odd
Fellows, Baton Rouge, La., but my
off-hand suggestions are that you
ought to try to land my first choic-
es on which, if you agree, then we
are all agreed.
“Either S. W. Rutherford or R.
H. Rutherford should personally
see J, Finley Wilson and Dr. Wal-
ter H. Brooks, the minister in
Washington, and as to the others
to fill the board, that can all be
done by the use of the long dis-
tance phone, and as previously men-
tioned, in no case should you stipu-
late a subscription to stock as a
condition precedent. Be big about
it and then you will find these men,
if they do accept and are elected
members of your board, will be big
enough to subscribe for as much
as they think they ean carry. Then,
too, I do not wish any of you to
feel under obligation to them on ac-
count of their subscription of stock
if you get what I mean. Just tell
them that you will assign a share
of yout own 40 that they can qual-
iy.
“If Dr, Brooks and J. Finley Wil-
son fail’ you, how about tackling
John R. Hawkins and Dr. M. 0.
Dumas for your two Washington
members in addition to officers?”
After justifying his recommenda-
tions through five or six para-
graphs, he goes on:
Problems Are Acute
“Yes, I appreciate that none of
you like this letter, and let me
frankly tell you much less do I.
However, facing this problem has
been put off year after year and
now the company’s affairs have
reached the critical point when it
can be put aside no longer, in fact
in a way you have reached the
critical point in your careers, as
well as the company and the col-
ored race insuranceswise. The easy
and pleasant thing for me to do
would be to idly stand by and await
developments, but I have put in too
many years of hard labor, too many
nights of worry and concern, in ad-
dition to the nights when actively
engaged on company affairs, to just
let matters ride without pointing
out your duties to yourselves, to
the policyholders and the race,
whether you or I like it or not.”
Company Reoranized
A few days later the company
was reorganized in accordance with
his suggestions and first choices,
except’ Prof. Hope and R. R.
Church, who ‘declined.
Each of the outsiders elected to
the board were given two shares of
stock, from what source has not
been clearly disclosed. Later, how-
ever, some of them, including Dr,
Moton, acquired more sharex by
purchase.
‘These officers and directors re-
mained in charge until June, fol-
lowing, when the Rutherfords and
Smith resigned and John T, Risher
was elected president, This regime
continued until September, when
the company wast placed in the
hands of a recsiver, at the instance
of John R. Pinokett, at that time
fscond vice-president.

North and South, did paint a
ibcighler "picture of life among
‘mules and rows of corn than it
did of Negroes in industrial cen-
ters.
‘Thus, after much argument these
alleged’ economists, etc., espoused
the administration's “dearest poli-
ey” that Negroes recede South-
ward from whence they came in
their once wighty effort to evade
peonage practices, low wages, in-
adequate educational facilities, and
all the other habiliaments of mod-
ern slavery.

President Roosevelt, himself, has
ruggedly and flatfootedly exhibited
rare qualities both as an economist
and-as a politician.
‘The Democratic party leaders
have not so far forgotten the
memorable November, 1932, elec-
tions, as to fail to ‘realize once
again that there are more voters in
twenty city blocks in New York or
Chicago, than there are in twenty
rural counties ir Alabama or Mis-
sissippi.
Down on. the farm, the Negro
vote is safe in the pockets of the
grandfather clause advocates; and
election officials “down home” have
taken pains to keep the Negro as
far away from the voting poll as
he is from the North Pole.
What ain't just ain't; and sound
reasoning denotes that no electoral
swellings ave to he expected from
Negro votes in Dixie. I’ plainly
jfollows, that if the Democrats are
to maintain their pace and keep
themselves in charie of the works
for the ensuing eight or twelve
years, they will hardly dare to
Sponsor an. effort to “sterilize”
potent Negro voters in industrial
regions Norti, hy, shipping them
back to Alabama, Georgia, and
Florida.
‘Thus, philanthropy, despite its
sincerity in delving into the Ne-
gro's economic status. is moving
ut blind-alleyward. Even the ad-
ministration’s “dearest policy” just
won't stand such pressure, wher
applied to the Negrocrats.
Besides, the factory wheels wil

that it won't be long now—ther

Dunbar Wins South Atlantic Track and Field Meet
TWELVE
DUNBAR CAPTURES CONFERENCE TITLE
Armstrong Sprinter Runs the 220 in 22.2 Seconds for New Mark
By A. MANTEL CARTER
With only four teams competing, and minus the enthusiasm and spirit which annually typifies the event, the South Atlantic High School Conference track and field championships were run at Walker Stadium, Saturday afternoon. For the second time in its history, Dunbar High School tracksters captured the meet with a total of 44 points. Armstrong High School, winner last year, was second with 35, while Douglas High of Baltimore and Cardozo Business High were third and fourth with 21 and 9 points, respectively.
One Record Smashed
One record was broken and another tied as Slim Fickling, Tech's lanky spinner, raced to victory in the 220-yard dash in the fact time of 22.2 seconds, a new conference record, after tying the conference mark of 10.1 seconds in the century. Both former marks were made by Berry Williams, of Armstrong, in last year's championships. In winning the longer dash, Fickling had an advantage of 8 yards over Rand, of Dunbar, who finished second.
His time clipped 4.2 seconds off Berry's old mark of 25.4 seconds, and is believed to be the fastest 220 ever ran in local high school competition. Fickling's time is two-tenths of a second slower than Roland Richardson's C.I.A. eighteen-year-old mark of 22 seconds flat. Richardson, former Dunbar speed merchant, established the mark at Hampton in 1925.
The new record is only 1.1 seconds slower than the world's inter-scholastic mark for the distance and predicts a bright future for the Armstrong lad. One of the two officials who clocked the flying sprinter caught him in 21.2 seconds, however, the slower time was the median.
Other individual performances were turned in by Stanton and R. Williams, of Dunbar. Stanton won both the 12-pound shot put and discus throw, adding 10 points to the Discus' score, while Williams, who incidentally was high-point scorer with 11 points, placed second in three field events and third in a fourth.
Douglass Wins Relay
Ray Tolson was the only Cardozo man to win an event, taking the high jump with a leap of 5 feet 8 inches, one inch short of the record set by Dick Brown, a team mata last year.
Douglass High School of Baltimore won the one-mile relay after a spectacular race. The race was close throughout with Armstrong holding a five-yard advantage on the first and second legs after being given the lead by Fickling, Thomas, the Ducks' number three man, outdistanced Contee and Cephas to give the Baltimore team the lead, which Mason refused to relinquish. Boyd, anchoring for the Poets, overtook Woodward, of Tech, in the home stretch to give the Dumbar men second place after the Poets had trailed throughout the race.

DR. ADAMS WINS GOLF TOURNAMENT
Dr. George W. Adams, Jr., won the spring invitational tournament of the Royal Golf Club last Sunday on the Lincoln Memorial Course by defeating Louis Happy Walters by a score of 3 and 1.
Dr. Adams's victory came as a surprise to the big gallery as Walters had accomplished the difficult task of defeating James A. Williams, who was rated one of the best players in the District. Walters held a 2-hole lead at the end of the first 18 holes of the 36-hole match which he lost at the beginning of the last 18 holes, and was unable to recover as Dr. Adams was bearing down all the way. Neither player was able to get more than a 2-hole lead until the final hole was played, which was the 35th.
Herbert Bethea defeated Roulac by a score of 5 and 4 to win the second flight. This was the third tournament in which Bethea has played. In the first he was eliminated early, but reached the finals in the consolation in the first flight. Roulac is a coming star who is making his first bid at tournament golf. In the semi-finals last Sunday Dr. Adams defeated Murphy Leach, 3 and 2, and Walters defeated Williams, 4 and 2. In the finals of the first flight Dr. Adams defeated Walters, and in the second flight Bethea defeated Roulac. Prizes were presented the winners by Dr. E. C. Wiggins, member of the club.

One-Man Track Star Helps Michigan to Win Western Conference Meet
EVANSTON, Ill.—Willis Ward, 196-pound speed marvel, of Michigan University, contributed 18 points to his team's score, which number was enough for the Wolverines to win the thirty-third Western Conference track and field meet here, Saturday, at Dyche Stadium.
Michigan scored 60% points, but without Ward the team would have been well back of Indiana, which landed 47% points.
Ward competed in four events, winning the 100-yard dash and the high jump, and placed second in the 120-yard high hurdles and the broad jump, for the greatest individual performance since the late Carl Johnson scored 20 points for Michigan in 1918.
John Brooks, of Chicago University, won the broad jump with a loop of 24 feet 5% inches.
100-YARD DASH—Won by Ward (Michigan); second, Hillmich (Illinois); third, Kemp (Michigan); fourth, Thompson (Minnesota); fifth, Staff (Ohio State). Time, 0:10.
120-YARD HIGH HURDLES—Won by Keller (Ohio State); second, Ward (Michigan); third, Sandhack (Purdue); fourth, Pantind (Michigan); fifth, Scheffler Minnesota. Time, 0.14; 1.14; 1.14; Better Western (Michigan); 0.14; 1.14; Illinois, 1911, and accepted world record of 0.14.2 by Beard, New York A. C., 1931, equals national collegiate record of 0.14.4 by Saling (Jown, 1922). Height, 24 feet 5% inches; second, Ward (Michigan), 23 feet 8% inches; third, Adams (Illinois), 23 feet 7% inches; fourth, Duggins (Northwestern), 22 feet 9% inches; fifth, Jones (Wisconsin), 22 feet 9% inches. HIGH JUMP—Won by Ward (Michigan), 6 feet 2% inches; second, Olson (Northwestern), 6 feet 1% inches; tie for third and fourth, Smith (Wisconsin) and Read (Illinois), 6 feet 1% inches; tie for fifth, Orstein (Illinois) and Mosio (Michigan), 5 feet 11% inches.

Giants vs. Rajahs at 60th and
Clay Sts., NE.
(Doubleheaders. First game
called 1:30.)
By “FLASH” ROBESON
The Virginia White Sox after
two weeks of idleness made their
debut in the Tri-State League, Sun-
day and swamped the Washington
Giants in both ends of a twin bill
by the scores of 12-7 and 16-5.
‘The batting of Wallace, J. Moore,
‘'T. Moore and L. Wills and the field-
ing of G. Bailey and T. Moore were
the only bright spots in a dull af-
ternoon,
‘The new home of the White Sox
isn’t quite completed, but at com-
pletion it will be one of the best
parks in this section. T. Moore,
formerly of the Washington Black
Sox, is the manager of the Virginia
lads and great things are hoped
for by the fans from this quiet and
hard fighting youth.
‘Tigers Claw Rajahs
‘The LeDroit Tigers completely
routed the Rajahs in their bargain
bill by the scores of 8 to 0 and
18 to 1, The young Northeast club-
men completely went to pieces and
the Bengals scored at, will.
The only features of these games
were the masterful twirling of
Jodie Wheeler and V. Jeffries and
the heavy hitting of the entire
Bengal tribe.
The Northeast clubmen should
have played a better brand of base-
ball and great things are expected
of this youthful team.
Hillsdales Triumph
‘The Hillsdales, the pride of Le-
Droit Park, still continued its
strong playing both afield and at
the bat to win both ends of their
double header with the DePriest
AC, 12-7 and 7-1.
Gardner, a reeruit on the De-
Priest staff, had the ‘Dales at his
merey for five innings when the
‘Dales solved his delivery to put
the game safely away.
Lefty Bailey, twirling his first
of the season, pitched a creditable
game, but was inclined to be a
trifle wild a ttimes. Soup Turner,
Géechie Williams, and Jones, a
new comer, were the stars afield
in the first game, while Apple Gray
and Knute Jackson turned in spark-
ing plays afield in the nightcap.
Jackson Stars
‘tthe play of Jackson was thrilling
when he raced deep across field to
snare a hard hit ball which was
flabeled for at least a double, and
completing a fast double play.
Jakie Levi pitched masterful ball
in the night cap. Jones, a young-
ster, is.one of the best prospects
seen this season, fielding and hit-
ting par excellent.
‘The fielding of Johnson and
Wheeler was the bright spots in the
DePriest defeat,

ATHLETICS SCORE
DOUBLE VICTORY
The Anacostia Athletics added
two more links to their fast grow-
ing chain at the expense of the
Washington’ Royals and the Tree
Department nine, Sunday, by the
scores of 12 to 5 and 18 to 3,
Ossie Stewart, ace of the Ath-
letics, was easily the outstanding
hero in the opening game. He held
the Royals hitless until the seventh
inning, when four hits, one a hom-
er, started a-Royal rally. In the
fourth frame the Royals scored one
run by Johnson, who reached first
on an error.
Perfect Day
Stewart further helped his team
mates by getting two doubles and
two singles in four trips for a
perfect batting average. Ellis and
H, Garrison starred afield for the
winners, while Armstrong was the
hero for the Royals.
The night cap with the depart-
ment team was easy meat for the
Athletics. Bill Reed on the mound
for Anacostia, allowed four hits
and struck out eight.
Ready Travers, bidding for a
catcher’s berth, handled 11 chances
without a mishap. He was also
credited with a home run.

"THE WHITEHEADED BOY" AT ARMSTRONG HIGH FOR BOY'S CAMP
"The Whiteheaded Boy," a play by Lenox Robinson, will be reproduced under the auspices of the College Alumnae Club for the benefit of Camp Lichtman, the boys' camp of the Twelfth Street Young Men's Christian Association, Monday night, May 29, at the Armstrong High School auditorium. This play was presented in March and won such wide acclaim that there has been a public demand for it to be repeated. Professor Sterling Brown, of Howard University, who was director of the first production, will not only direct the cast in its second performance but will also participate in the cast. The other members of the cast are Mrs. Louise Cook Hill, Mrs. Rosa Clifford, Mrs. Viola Smith, Miss Violaletta Beldon, Miss Helen Sparks, Miss Rosa Montgomery, Messrs. Stewart Gee, Samuel Popel, James W. Butcher, Jr., and Frederick Philips.
Because of the failure of the Community Chest to reach its goal this year its support had to be withdrawn from all camps in order to permit the relief work of the city to go forward. The proceeds will go toward defraying the expenses of the boys' camp.
Camp Lichtman was presented to the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. by Mr. A. E. Lichtman, president of the Lightman Theatres Corporation, which owns and operates Lincoln, Republic, Rossia and Broadway theatres of this city.
The camp is located in the George Washington National Park, formerly the Shenandoah National Park near Shenandoah, Virginia, and will open July 10.
"HI-DE-HO" HOWARD'S ATTRACTION OF THE SEASON
Beginning Saturday, the Howard Theatre presents the entire company of "Hi-De-Ho," with its own band, surrounded by Doris Rheubottom, John Mason, Charles Ray, Ferdi Robinson, the Three Whippets, Three Ginger Snaps, Carolynne Snowden (sensational) movie star direct from Hollywood), Putney Dandridge, the Washboard Serenaders with Dorothy Saunders and Bill Robinson's original dancing chorus.
This show has just completed a six weeks' run in Boston, eight weeks in New York, and is now rounding out its third week in Philadelphia at a three-dollar admission.
The Howard offers this show at its summer prices.
On the screen Irene Dunne and Joel McCrea are the bridal pair, whose mother-in-law troubles make engrossing drama in "Silver Cord." Washington wives will cheer when this young bride tells her husband's mother where she gets off, when she screams, "The blackest sinner on earth is the woman who breaks in between husband and wife." The usual midnight show will be given on Friday. Amateur night will be on Wednesday when four cash prizes will be awarded.
BROADWAY TO THRILL AT THE SHOWING OF "THE BIG CAGE"
Clyde Beatty, the world's greatest animal trainer, will be seen on the screen of the Broadway Theatre, Sunday and Monday, May 28 and 29, in "The Big Cage." The greater part of the story of this picture is laid in the winter quarters of a circus, with Beatty against the advice of his associates, intent on perfecting an "act" which will present both lions and tigers in the same arena, a feat which has never been accomplished by any other trainer.

"THE FLYING CHORUS IS STAGE OFFERING AT THE LINCOLN
Opening at the Lincoln, Saturday, May 27, for one week, comes intact, direct from the stage success in New York, "The Flying Colors Chorus," consisting of twelve girls, and such well known artists as John Lee Long, Pigmeat Markham, Wiley and Wiley, Leonard Reed, Marie Prevall and the Dancing Maniacs. This de luxe show, following the Lincoln's first stage presentation, promises to be an even greater attraction. "The Flying Colors Chorus" gained such popularity in New York that their appearance here is being keenly anticipated by Lincoln patrons.
An owl show is presented every Thursday night at 11:45 o'clock.
"Below the Sea," a Columbia screen drama, will be shown for the week.
On the ocean's floor, in a great diving bell, are a man and woman, facing death. The chain that lowered the bell has been broken—shaken apart by a giant octopus. Their airlines and telephone lines have been severed.
Featured players are Fay Wray, Ralph Bellamy, Esther Howard, and Frederick Vogeding.
MIDNIGHT SHOW
BENEFIT FOR CAMP
CLARISSA SCOTT
The Clarissa Scott Camp committee, under the chairmanship of Mrs. Virginia Richardson McGuire, has secured the co-operation of the management of the Howard Theatre so as to present a midnight show this (Friday) night. The welfare of the camp has been seriously endangered by the cuts in Community Chest appropriations, and it becomes necessary for considerable effort to be put forth to see that the girls of the District of Columbia do not suffer for properly supervised recreation during the coming summer. The Clarissa Scott Camp was established by the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., and during the past three years has been underway near Highland Beach, which has established it as a permanent thing.
Buildings, grounds and personnel contribute very greatly to the pleasure health of the girls who are permitted to be present. The community is, therefore, asked to supportthis effort by turning out en masse as so to help provide funds for the continuation of this enterprise.
Shep Allen, manager of the theatre, and Messrs. Stieffel Bros., owners, have pledged 100 per cent support to Mrs. McGuire and the camp committee. Through their co-operation from time to time it is hoped that ample funds may be secured to prevent the limitation of activities at the camp.
A program of unusual excellence has been prepared, together with a smashing picture. Several acts from attractions being on these occasions shown "down town" will be provided.

"PAROLE GIRL" AT REPUBLIC FOR A 2-DAY SHOWING
It isn't the heavy prison sentence that hurts the most, but the steady pounding one is compelled to take from the law and society alike when released on parole. Things are entirely different now. The "parole girl" brand proves a difficult one to shake.
She is the basis of the Columbia feature production, "Parole Girl," to be shown at the Republic Theatre Friday to Sunday, May 26 to 28.
Mrs Clark portrays "Sylvia." New York girl who is led by bad company into a situation where she is technically guilty of a crime.

"BROADWAY BAD" HANDLE WITH CARE" RAPHAEL OFFERINGS
Sweeping swiftly from gayety and glamor to strong emotional drama, "Broadway Bad," the Fox picture which opens at the Raphael Theatre Sunday, May 28, skillfully combines all of the elements essential to outstanding screen entertainment.
Here is an intriguing human-interest story beautifully interpreted by a cast of finished performers.
Ranking next to that of Miss Blondell is the masterful performance of Ricardo Cortez. As a Manhattan playboy who after all is considerable of a mrn. Ginger Rogers, peppery and decorative; Adrienne Ames, an eye-luring siren; Allen Vincent, Victor Jory and that winsome child actor, Rinnie Cosby, are others who win new laurels with their performances.
Patricia Mallory, who stars in "Handle with Care," couldn't say "shoes," her lisping tongue slipped and slithered over "slippers," so her sympathetic father supplied her with the synonym "boots," and that soon became her nickname. Boots Mallory it has been ever since, up to and including her recent test for films and the signing of a Fox contract.
Miss Mallory's first film for Fox is "Handle With Care," in which she is co-featured with James Dunn.
It will be seen at the Raphael, Thursday, June 1.

ORECORDS FALL
IN HAMPTON MEET
HAMPTON, Va.—As a brilliant
May sun which had smiled benign-
ly on approximately one hundred
gontesting track and field athletes
from nine. colleges and five hich
schools participating in the twelfth
annual C.LA.A, track and field
meet dimmed and gradually re-
treated before the oncoming ele-
ments of night, Morgan, which had
matched point for point with a for-
midable St. Paul representation.
¢ased by its rival to don the royal
purple by virtue of a one point
margin.
Bordentown's manful corps had
lone since, established itself as a
ruler of. the scholastic diadem by
rolling up an avalanche of tallies
which more than quadrupled the
score of the nearest competitor.
Five Records Broken
A’ slim crowd of less than a thou-
sand. spectators roasted, cheered,
and tried to quench an ‘insatiable
thirst induced by the torrid sun
while four collegiate and one scho-
Iantic’ records were smashed. and.
replaced by new ones.
It, was not until the results of
the wollegiate shot put were deter.
mined that Morgan, who was two
points behind. the Lawrenceville
delegation, gained the top rung.
Morgan's 41 points, in addition to
giving the Maryland institution the
GIAA. shampiorahipe ale marks
the Bears’ first ‘bid for permanent
possession of the W. B. Ziff Col-
Inflate point trophy.
"Three victories, are necessary to
make‘it a permanent fixture in the
trophy ease of the competing insti-
tution. At present Hampton has
two lege on it while St. Paul's 1982
win gives it a claim to Tts pos-
session. St, Paul, however, in win-
ning the medley relay, got its sec:
‘ond leg onthe Southern Aid So-
cisty collegiate trophy which was
first offered in 1928, Union, Hamp-
ton. Cheyney, and Howard each
have a leg on this trophy. The col-
legiate mile relay trophy was
awarded to Lincoln for its three-
minute 38:5 seconds win.
Bordentown Winner
Bordentown took all the monu-
mental gold and silverware in. the
scholastic division: and-left only a
few individual medals here and
there to be divided up among ath-
Ietes from contesting schools. The
final scores in the collegiate divi-
sion were: Morgan, 41; St. Paul,
40; Hampton, 27; Lincoln, 253, Un-
ion, 14; Virginia State, 9; Howard,
7; North Carolina State, 3; Miner
Teachers’ College, 1.
‘The scholastic division, where the
absence of Roosevelt High of Gary,
Indiana, left the Bordentown group
without’ competition, was easily
carried by the Ironsiders, who
amassed 54 points. without ‘effort.
Booker T. Washington High of
Norfolk, Va., was second with
twelve points, and George P. Phe-
nix Training School of Hampton
«followed with ten points. The oth-
are in order were: Forsythe High,

seven-tenths of a second from the
racord established by Union's Ed-
r Lee in 1929, when a student at

mile and establishing a new mark
of 9:41.4 in the two-mile for as-
pirants to aim at.
Boyd, one of Virginia State's all
round men, knocked the props {ron
under Hampton's mark of 15.8 in
the 120 hgih hurdles set by Cole

OSES NDEBUT
Weak hitting with mates aboard
the cushions paved the way to the
downfall of Peoples Drug Store
performers, in their debut, Sunday,
against the Diamond A.C., of Dean-
wood. The final count was 7-4.
Offsetting the brilliant hurling
of William Davis, who incidently
whiffed nine of the Deanwood co-
horts, the Peoples gladators were
as helpful as & baby in a hospita
when it came to smacking the
horsehide with the willow.
Six bingles rang from the bats
of the losers, two of which went to
Davis, while Williams garnered two
others to share baton honors for
the losers.
Jake King, of the innumerable
King family, along with Hill and
Brown sparkled with remarkable
brilliance at the batting tee for the
winners. The former of the tric
sas credited with two safeties (one
a homer) in three tries, while Hill
batted out two singles in four at-
tempts, and Brown had to be con.
tent with a one-baser and a double
in three trips to the plate.

Perhaps nowhere does Mothers’
Day touch the hearts of men as it
does in prisons. Men whose hearts
have become exceedingly senti-
‘mental at four periods in the year
—Thanksgiving, Christmas, the
birth anniversary, daip of, “moth-
er” and again on Mothers’ Day.
For weeks and sometimes months
in advance you can observe vari-
ous prisoners utilizing their spate
moments in making many bits of
handiwork and novelties, either for
their mothers or for the mothers
of their children. And quite a few
prisoners are in communication
with those whom they call and re-
spect as “mother” although there
‘exists no blood relation, And Al-
ways, if their meagre funds per-
mit them, at the above four stipu
lated periods “mother” receives
Some remembrance,
And if mothers only knew the
unrecorded amount of invention
that many prisoners resort to in
order to conceal from mother's
knowledge some bit of informa-
tien that would only cause her
greater worry, then we are sure
that, even if such were possible,
mother's love and affection for
their sons would enhance greatly.
Cruel as it may seem we know
of many prisoners who have serv-
ed théir entire sentence without
once letting their mothers know
that they were in prison and in
such cases. we have seen many
unique methods of indirect com-
munication resorted, to. Some-
times, other brothers. sisters or
other relatives maintain a direct
tonimunicatin with the prisoners
And messages from and to mother
tre freely exchanged without moth-
@r ever knowing the real where-
abouts of her son.
Tn some instances just the re-
verse condition is true. On the out-
side, while the son was roaming
here and there, he maintained no
contact with mother and some-
times not even any other members
of the family, but in prison he has
become remorseful and recognizes
his shameful neglect of affection
towards his parents and communi-
cates with them and always moth-
¢r welcomes her son's attentions.
Seemingly, no matter how bad
the son may havg been, or the le-
gal severity of his offenses, moth-
er does not lose faith in her son.
And for pathetic bits of literature
nothing can compare with a letter
from mother fo her son in prison.
She not only sends her love in each
letter but no mother concludes her
letter without sending an admoni-
tion for the son to pray, ba good,
and have faith. And if the son
fails to do these things it is no
fault of mother,
Those prisonérs who are favor-
ed with regular visits fom their
mothers are never so pained as
when mother fails to arrive on the
‘expected day, or if the weather
should be threatening or storm:
‘then the prisoner becomes exceed
ingly gloomy and anxious for
mother's safety and welfare.
Tet word of some catastrophe—
fire, flood, hurricane trickle into
‘the prison and no prisoner who has
‘a mother or other loved ones. liv-
ing in that particular district gains
A moment of mental peace until
ho has «canned every paper, or
receives a letter notifying him that
mother is safe.
But the saddest part of all is
that while the son is serving the
legal sentence iaeeee upon him,
it is the mother who is really bear-
ing the punishment. And under
such a punishment mother somo-
times finds her life erushed out
and pitiful indeed is the situation
of such a xon on Mother's Day. But
on this day the hearts of all pris-
oners are sorely touched, for alive
or dead, the memory of “Mother”
lingers.

VA, STATE WINS
ASEBALL TLE
PETERSBURG, Va, — Virginia
State College had the Colered In-
tércollegiate championship baseball
crown handed to them on a silver
platter when they breexed along to
a 4 to 2 victory over the A, and T.
College Aggies in the memorial
stadium last week.
Tt seemed that at times they had
abandoned their batting power, as
the Aggies gave them score after
seoré on errors, Strange as it
seemed, each of their four runs
were made on errors committed by
the Aggie fielders.
Although Corbett, on the mound
for the Aggies, struck out nine
men and allowed the Statesmen on-
ly two scattered hits he received
poor-eupport from his team mates.
‘irginia State made two runs in
the second inning when three con-
secutive errors were made by the
Aggie infield. They scored again
‘on errors in the fourth and ninth.
‘The Aggies out hit the Statesmen,
but were able to double them only
in the fifth when Smith hit a dou-
ble, which was followed by a sin-
gle by Stewart and again in the
seventh.

James A. Jackson, Business Specialist, Addresses Sunday Forum in Rich Agricultural Section; Stresses Co-operation for Utilization of Produce
"There's a lot more fun in visiting the big cities than in trying to earn a living in one of them," said James A. Jackson, business Department of Commerce to a church packed with the members of the Young People's Sunday Forum at Princess Anne, the County Seat of Somerset County, Maryland, last Sunday.
This homely counsel closed a half hour address during which Mr. Jackson reviewed the business prospects of the Negro in America in giving details concerning business participation and needs with special emphasis upon the possibilities for the country-reared boy and girl.
He reviewed the census reports as to the Negro situation on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, and quoting Charles E. Hall, of the United States Census Bureau who has made a special study of this territory across the bay from the Nation's Capital, he said.
