ANOTHER DIXIE STATE PUTS NEGRO ON JURY HOWARD HEAD ATTACKED IN HOUSE Howard Graduates are Advised to Capitalize their African Heritage The Most News Cleanest News Latest News Vol. XIII, No. 7 HOWA Howard Grad Advised to their African POLICE KILLINGS PROTESTED BY CITIZENS GROUP Pleasant Plains Association Scores Unfatal Shooting of Unarmed men The Pleasant Plains Citizens Association passed a resolution at its monthly meeting, Friday, protesting against the shooting of unarmed colored men and boys by District policemen. It was pointed out at the meeting that three persons had been fatally injured recently while fleeing from officers. None killed were armed. A committee representing the association was appointed to work with other groups who are protesting against the increased number of deaths resulting from the indiscriminate use of firearms by Metropolitan police. At the next meeting of the association final reports will be made and officers for the coming year will be elected. Engineer Commissioner John C. Gotwalls, in a letter informed the association that its request to the District commissioners to repave Fairmont Street between Sherman and Georgia Avenues could not be done at this time, on account of the economy program recently instituted by the government, but necessary repairs will be made at an early date. The association was advised of the death of Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, retired supervising principal and president of the local branch of the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, and a letter of condolence was ordered sent to her family. S. J. Murray, president, presided at the meeting. FATHER DIVINE GETS LUKEWARM RECEPTION HERE Father Divine and his group of cohorts, numbering over a hundred, received a cool reception at their two meetings at the Masonic Temple, Thursday. A few of the curious turned out and most of these were loud in their denunciation of the so-called "father." One minister who was present at the noon-day meeting stated that such a meeting was a challenge to the clergy of Washington. Most of the followers, who came here in buses and automobiles bearing New York licensees, spoke with a foreign accent. Many stated that they are West Indians and are seeking to revive a cult practiced in the jungles of that country. Those who told their "experience" to this short, fat, bald, brown-skinned man called him "the true red." Amid shouting and much clapping of hands they "testified" that as had done various things for them from curing their sicknesses to ridding them of "the devil." Washingtonians took Father Divine with a grain of salt and enforced the proceedings. Operator of "Massaging" Parlor for White Men Only, Arrested Dr. Embree Tells Class to View their Ancestry With Pride SPEAKER COMPARES EAST WITH WEST Urges Grads to Acquaint Themselves With the Glories of Africa Although their racial connections give them handicaps, the 320 graduates of Howard University were urged to capitalize and accredit those qualities that have brought them discrimination and hardship by Dr. Edwin R. Embree, president of the Julius Rosenwald Fund, Chicago, in delivering the commencement address in the university stadium, Friday afternoon before some 4,000 persons. Dr. Embree, in comparing the civilization of the east and west, told his audience that by the machine production of the west we have provided the world with abundance and plenty while he had found in some fifteen years of travel in the east an astonishing amount of enjoyment and satisfaction day by day. Develop. African Heritage The graduates were told to develop their heritage of Africa and the east, thereby making America a better place in which to live. Mr. Embree stated that: "The triumph of the west in the discovery and use of tools of all kinds is not yet fully appreciated either at home or abroad. For some reason we are reluctant to take the pride in it to which we are entitled. Many of us are even apol- (Continued on page 11) Operator of "Ma for White Men Young Woman Held Under Raid on Second Str to Unnatur The fashionable 1800 block of Second Street, Northwest, was thrown into an uproar last week when officers swooped down on the home of Mrs. Myrtle Robinson, 1842 Second Street, and arrested Miss Bettie Smith, alias Rachael Brown, and charged her with massaging the opposite sex. Headquarters detectives learned of the massaging practice through an advertisement the woman is alleged to have placed in a daily paper advertising the so-called "treatment" for white men only. Officer Guy Rhone went to the house where he was prepared for the "treatment" which is supposed to have been given in the nude. While the young woman was administering to him, other police who were stationed nearby, came into the house and arrested the occupants. Dr. J. Sherlock, a white chiropractor with offices in the home, was also arrested Under $300 Bond Following an arraignment in the police court Miss Smith had the charge placed against her. She demanded a jury trial and the case is set for this trial. She was released under $300 bond. Others were dismissed. Mrs. Robinson denied knowing that any improper practice was conducted in her home. She claimed she rented a room to the young woman, who carried on the "treatments" without her knowledge. MISS E. F. MERRITT IS HONORED AT FUNERAL SERVICE School and Civic Leaders Pay Homage to NAACP President Officials of civic organizations and the public schools paid final tribute last Monday to Miss Emma R. G. Merritt, retired supervising principal, and president of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose funeral was held at Lincoln Congregational Church. The Rev. R. W. Brooks, pastor, officiated, assisted by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. Miss Merritt died Thursday night at her residence, 1630 Tenth Street, Northwest, following an illness since last April. She was retired from the public schools after more than fifty years of service. At the time of her retirement she was supervising principal of Division 10. Born in Virginia Born in Virginia, Miss Merritt was brought to Washington by her parents at the age of three and received her early education in the public schools of the District of Columbia. She studied at Howard University, Columbia University, the Phoebe Hearst Training School of Washington, the Cook County Normal School, and the Berlitz School of Languages, Paris, France. Also she has benefited by extended travelling in America and Europe. Miss Merritt was first appointed in the school system to the third grade at the Lovejoy School. From this position she rose successfully to the principalship of the Banneker School in 1899, to the principalship of the Garnet School in 1895, to the directorship of primary instruction in 1897, and to supervising principal, Division 10, in 1926.

A few months ago two young women were arrested for practicing massaging in an apartment house in the Northwest section of the city. One pleaded guilty and refused to stand trial. Prohibition Claims Infant Victim, Who Drowns in Crock of Home Brew NEW ORLEANS, La.—(ANP) After Edward Hawkins had con- ceived a six-gallon crock of beer Tuesday, he placed it in his back yard to ferment. A few hours later, he missed his infant daugh- ter. Search revealed that she had wandered into a yard, fallen head first into the crock and drowned. THROWN FROM AUTO Thrown from an automobile in some mysterious manner, Walter Harris, 30, of 1746 V Street, Northwest, received lacerations of the scalp. Sunday. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital, later making a report of the incident to officers of the Second Precinct. GRADUATES LOCAL HIGH SCHOOLS and MINER TEACHERS' COLLEGE The three senior high schools of the city will send out nearly four hundred graduates with the closing of the schools next week. The labs show Dunbar (Academic) High will graduate 180-67 boys and 113 girls; Armstrong (Technical) High, 140-70 boys and 70 girls; Cardozo (Business) High, 70-18 boys and 52 girls, including 14 post-graduates. Armstrong High will have also a special graduate as of date 1914. Miner Teachers' College sends out its first graduate of the full four-year course, numbering (tentatively) 62. Lists on page eleven. WHITE MAN WILL REPRESENT U. S. IN LIBERIA McC. Werlich to Replace William C. George as Charge d' Affaires It was learned this week that McCeney Werlich, a white man, whose home is at 1623 Sixteenth Street, Northwest, and who has been on duty at the State Department, has been appointed as charge d'affairs a Morovia, Liberi, to succeed William C. George, who has been serving in that capacity since Charles E. Mitchell left Monrovia some months ago. The Tribute, in the issue of May 12, stated that Mr. Mitchell had called at the State Department in the interest of Mr. George's desire to be transferred from Monrovia to some other post. Mr. Werlich left for the post two weeks ago. He was not appointed minister-resident, as stated in a certain out-of-town paper (which base a story with lists of "previous" ministers) on that erroneous belief. Major General Blanton Winship who was sent to Liberia as a "special representative" by President Hoover, a few days before Roosevelt was inaugurated, is now in attendance at the League of Nations in Georgia. Diplomatic relations between this country and Liberia have been strained for some months, and long before Mr. Mitchell came home the Liberian government has ceased to recognize him, returning his communications unopened. Whether the new charge will fare any better is a question. CASH CALL ISSUED BY NATIONAL BANK COMMITTEE Glass-Stegall Bill Will Help Stock-Selling, Says Committee Secretary The reorganization committee of the Industrial Savings Bank, with Jesse H. Mitchell as chairman, issued a call for payment on the stock subscribed for the new national bank, to be paid today (Friday). Walter Carter, secretary of the committee, stated Thursday: "Stock subscriptions are steadily coming in. The committee sent out a call for cash payments to be made on the stock subscribed on June 16. Subscribers have begun coming in today and we expect an excellent response to the call." Asked what effect the Glass-Stegall banking act would have on their campaign, Mr. Carter said: "The passage of the Glass-Ste The office of the secretary of Howard University announced this week that there will be summer school conducted at the university this year. The plan is in line with the government economy program to reduce expenses of all organizations connected with the federal government. MRS. M. M. HARRIS FILES PETITION IN BANKRUPTCY School Teacher Lists Ten Creditors with Claims Totaling $15,756 CLOTHES VALUE PLACED AT $100 Justice Proctor Signs Order Relieving Woman of Debt Asserting that she had bills which she could not pay in full, Mrs. Helen H. Harris, public school teacher and wife of Mortimer M. Harris, now serving an 18-month sentence for embezzlement, filed a petition for voluntary bankruptcy in the District Supreme Court, recently. Justice James M. Proctor signed the order adjudging her bankrupt and referred the case to Fred J. Eden, court referee. Mrs. Harris, who resides at 1726 U Street, Northwest, declared herself willing to surrender all of her property for the benefit of her creditors, save that which is exempted by law. In a sworn statement filed in the District Supreme Court, Mrs. Harris enumerated $15,756, as the amount of ten unsecured claims. Cash on hand was listed as "none" with the exception of one day's salary, about $5. Exemption on wearing apparel, valued at $100, was requested. Ten Creditors Listed The itemized claims follow: John R. Hawkins, Eleventh and U Streets, Northwest, promissory note loan to bankrupt's husband, about 1930, $5,000. H. W. Van Senden Estate, Colorado Building, promissory note loan to bankrupt's husband, about 1930, $5,000. H. W. Van Senden, Inc., promissory note loan to bankrupt's husband, about 1930, $5,000. Charmer Mortor Company, 1781 Florida Avenue, Northwest, for gas, oils, grease, 1930-31, $34. Household Finance Corp., Baltimore, promissory note loan to bankrupt, 1932, $300. Mary M. Golden, Seventeenth and Willard Streets, Northwest, money loaned, 1932, $76. Book of Month Club, New York, purchase of books, 1932, $6. W. Ernest Jarvis, 1452 O Street, Northwest, promissory note, $300. Beltran Barker, Eleventh and V Streets, Northwest, gas, oils, grease, $40. Joseph H Maxwell, 2018 Georgia Avenue, Northwest, notes for money loans loaned bankrupt's husband; amount unknown. In addition to the $100 noted for wearing apparel, the statement specified $57 as the amount advanced toward the cost of the bankruptcy proceedings. Mrs. Harris set out that she had endeavored to enumerate her debts to the best of her limited information, but that most of them arose from money loans loaned her husband. She asked leave to supplement the list should she discover new debtors. Aent the promissory notes payable to John R. Hawkins and the H. W. Van Senden Estate, Mrs. Harris did not recall whether she was the actual maker of these notes or merely an accommodation endorser. Colored Man on Grand Jury in Alexandria, Virginia, Court First Instance Since Reconstruction; Two Young Colored Attorneys Take Initiative in Case Involving a Charge of Manslaughter "RAPE" TURNS OUT TO BE HUSBAND BEATING WIFE Citizens Thought Small Girl Had Been Attacked by "Husky" Man What was reported to have been a criminal rape on a small girl Sunday night by a "big husky man" and caused hundreds of citizens of Northeast Washington to become incensed and gather in the neighborhood of Second and M Streets and "talk lynching" turned out to be no more than an enraged husband beating, his estranged wife, according to police of the Ninth Precinct Station following an investigation by The Tribune. The Tribune office was called and a voice of a woman told a reporter that a dastardly crime had been committed and citizens were enraged over the occurrence. None in the vicinity of the alleged happening knew the name of the girl or the man in the case, but several said the child was in a serious condition and one man stated that the victim was dead. A trip to No. 9 Precinct and a check-up failed to disclose that such a crime had been committed, but the desk sergeant said that a woman had been beaten in the same neighborhood about the time the "rape" occurred, and Mrs. Annie Parker, 30, 452 First Street, Southeast, was found in an unconscious condition on a field on M Street between First and Second Streets. Her husband, William Alexander Parker; 45, was arrested leaving the scene and held at the precinct pending the outcome of his wife's injuries. Mrs. Parker was taken to Casualty Hospital, where she was found to be suffering with a possible fracture of the right jaw and bruises about the head and face. She is a woman of small statue and excited citizens took her for a 10-year-old girl. She is not in a serious condition, hospital physicians said. Colored Man on in Alexandria First Instance Since Recon-ored Attorneys Take In a Charge of ALEXANDRIA, Va.—Echoes of the questions raised in the Euel Lee case, the Crawford case, and other cases recently were heard here this week when Judge William P. Woolls, of the Corporation Court announced the selection of a colored man to serve on the grand jury. So far as is known this is the first instance in which such a selection has been made in a state or corporation court since reconstruction days. The man selected for service, with six whites, was Lucius Gaines, a highly respected citizen who has been employed at Creighton's drug store for many years. The selection of colored men to serve on both grand juries and trial juries in the United States courts sitting in this city and state has been a common practice for many years, but such appointments are less common in late years than two or three decades ago. The question was brought up in a case which is set forth fully below. The following statement was furnished The Tribune by one of the attorneys in the case which gave rise to the change of practice as to selecting juries: On Saturday night, June 3, Lloyd Wade, Mrs. Clara Granderson and her daughter left White Plains, N.Y., for a trip to Amelia, Va. At about 6:20 Sunday morning when Mr. Wade arrived in Alexandria, Va., he met with an accident in A Hometown Paper of, by, and for Washingtonians HOUSE son's Removal ed in House urs are True Dr. Johnson's Removal Demanded in House If Reports are True "DAWN BOY CASE HEARING IS POSTPONED Man Who Resented Youth's Caresses May Plead Sensational testimony of the alleged unnatural practices of Samuel Riddle, 24, alias "Sissy Sam" and "Miranda Willis," stabbed to death in April, expected to be revealed in Criminal Court No. 1, on Tuesday, in the trial of John Gray, of 62 Pierce Street, Northwest, may not be aired in court. The fact became known at the time of the scheduled hearing when assistant prosecuting attorneys Goldstein and Sirica obtained a week's continuance of the case through the consent of Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat. Mr. Sirica told a representative of The Tribune that the purpose of the continuance was to give Gray, who has been indicted for the stabbing, to make a plea. This will eliminate a hearing of sordid details, sentence being pronounced by the judge in accord with the plea accepted by the prosecutor. Just what plea Gray will make Mr. Sirica was not in position to say. Caressed Slayer, Claim Testimony given at the coroner's inquest shortly after the fatality in what is popularly known as "The Dawn Boy Case" was to the (Continued on page 2) Grand Jury in, Virginia, Court construction; Two Young Col- liative in Case Involving Manslaughter front of 603 S. Washington Street, at which time it is alleged that he struck a parked car in which Henry. Burke (white) was sitting Burke was killed. At the coroner's inquest Monday morning, June 5, Wade was repres- presented by William D. Butts, a young colored lawyer of Alexan- dria. The defendant, Wade, was held for the preliminary hearing on Tuesday, June 6. At the preliminary hearing Wade was held for action of the grand jury. J. Byron Hopkins, Jr., was retained to assist Mr. Butts in working out the question of the systematic exclusion of Negroes from the grand juries in the state. At the suggestion of Mr. Hopkins, Chas. H. Houston, of the Howard University Law School, his former dean and instructor, was retained. Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Houston went to the clerk's office of the Corporation Court of the City of Alexandria, on Saturday, June 10, to secure the list made up by the judge of the said court from which list the clerk selects the grand jurors. Jury List Shows No Negroes After much hesitancy Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Houston secured the list, only to discover that no Negroes were thereon. In the presence of Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Houston, Elliott F. Hoffman, the clerk, admitted the fol- Price 7 cents Copy H.U. Prexy Denies Alleged Remarks in Statement Read to House DePRIEST COMES TO PRESIDENT'S DEFENSE Illinois Representative Urges Probe of Communism in Schools Charges that President Mordecai Johnson, of Howard University, advocated communism in a New York speech, brought forth a statement from Representative Blanton, Democrat, of Texas, on the floor of the House, Wednesday, that if the charges were true, Dr. Johnson should be removed as head of the university. The discussion came about after Representative Bulwinkle, Democrat, of North Carolina, had inserted in the Congressional Record, on Tuesday, a clipping from the Chicago Defender, which declared that Dr. Johnson in a sermon before the senior class had favored the adoption of communism. DePriest to the Rescue Representative Oscar DePriest, Republican, of Illinois, came to the defense of the Howard president and read to the House a statement from Dr. Johnson denying that he believed in communism. Mr. DePriest declared that he would prepare a resolution to investigate communism as taught in all American schools. "Let us know what is going on in our school system," declared the Illinois Representative. "These long-haired communistic professors are ruining some of our children in many of our institutions." This remark by Mr. DePriest brought forth aplaeuse from members of the House. The New York Age published an article a few weeks ago alleging that Dr. Johnson advocated communism in a speech in that city. The debate in the House as reported in the Record follows: Mr. Dr. PRIEST, Mr. Speaker, at the session last night I happened to present when my colleague from North Carolina [Mr. Bulwinkle], made some remarks about Howard University. I am glad to see the gentleman on the floor today. I know nothing about the remarks made by Dr. Johnson, but I do know that every Member of Congress has been misquoted by newspapers. Every man in public life is equally misquoted by newspapers. If Dr. Johnson is guilty of teaching communism at Howard University, then it is about time Howard University had a new president. [Applause.] Hits Chicago Defender I never have been in favor of communism. I think the Members on this floor know that. In every talk I have made I have been against it, but I am not willing to be involved in it. I have lined up in a newspaper. The Members of this Congress ought to know, since Congress is making liberal appropriations for that university, so I sent to Dr. Johnson the paper. I know that he is on communism. I think we are entitled to know the situation, but I also know the newspapers, and I know the Chicago Defender. It is in my district. I know it very well. Mr. Speaker, I am going to ask unanimous consent that the Clerk read to the House Dr. Johnson's statement, so that you can hear for yourselves just what he has to say. I will read the press, denying that he believed in communism, just after this article came out in the Chicago Defender. I ask unanimous consent that the Clerk may read the right to object and I shall not object. I would like to ask whether or not specific inquiry was made of the press. I will make the statement attributed to him, that the settlement from North Carolina (Mr. Bulwinkle) put into the Record last night. Was he asked whether or not he made those Mr. De PRIEST. Dr. Johnson is not in the city. I asked his secretary to send me the release that he wrote immediately after the statement came out in the press. I AM AMAZING!

Tt is to take care of worthy evicted families, A family of eleven was first to enter. ‘They had been forced to move their belongings to a woodshed because their landiord demanded his house at once. This family consists of mother, father and nine childven who are very worthy, all industrious and willing to work, ‘They came here from Washington, Ga., about two years ago, but the unemployment situation made it almost impossible for the father to find work, the whole family haying to be support- ed as far as possible on the wager of one of the daughters and what little the mother eould pick up, But now the whole family is hap- pily situated with no fear of being evieted at the home of the Chureh of God at Seventh and T Streets, Northwest, which has heen recondi- tioned sunder the Jeadership. of Fl- dev Michaux, the pastor, for the purpose of relieving just stich. fam- ilies as this’ one is from distress. } Altogether, up to the present date twenty-five inmates have been ‘received into the home. Must Pay If Able Elder Michaux’s idea of charity is somewhat different from the gen eval lines followed. He holds that to relieve people from the thought that they are no longer responsible to do what they can to help them- selves indulges laziness. Therefore each family that enters the home is charged a certain amount of rent which ix cancelled at the end of each week if they cannot pay. This plan is-earried ont to pre- vent people who enter. this home from feeling that they do not have to find work or 1€ work is found for them that they do not have to work, ‘And when a family finds sufficient work and foels that it can take care of its obligations such as rent and ather domestic expenses, it is requested to move to. make room for other unfortunate families, To Hold Services in Tent ‘and Ball Park Beginning June 21, Elder Miche aux, who is known as the Radio Evangelist of Ameriea, will conduct his summer revival campaign un- dor a big gespel_ tent on Sherman Avenue in the 2800 block, North: west.

BISHOP VERNON IS. ASSAULTED WITH CHAIP KANSAS CITY, Kans. (ANP)— Former Bishop Win. Tecumseh Ver- nbn, of the A.M.E, Church, nation- ally’ known orator, registrar cf the U.S. Treasury during the Theodore Roosevelt administration, and_who was recently: elected. superinten- dent of thé industrial department of Western University here, was struck over the head with a chair, Monday, hy Chester Gaskin, a dis- runtled local politician, The blow made a two-inch cut in the bishop's head, necessitating his going to the hospital for treat- ment, Gaskin is said to have been dis- pleased at the policy of selecting the teaching staff at the univer- sity. The state board in charge of the school had recommended the reten- tion of most of the old faculty and employees. Bishop Vernon sought to carty these instructions out. He states that his position is that the trust which has been imposed in him by he state board’of adminis tration should not be violated and that: it was not to be slighted at the expense of efficiency to suit any person's personal wishes. ‘The argument and the hitting of the bishop followed several charges hurled back and forth Monday af- ternoon in the offices of William Boone, real estate dealer on North Fifth Street. Boone was recently apnointed custodian at Western He met sevoral members of the group that supported him for the Superintendeneyf of "Western, Unie versity in face of the threat of the A.MLE, Chureht withdraw its sap- port if the bishép was appointed. According to these supporters, « deal was made whereby certain politicians would be given the se- lecting of a number of places on the staff In other. words, the pa- tronage at the. school would be split up between certain political factions, The bishop is accused of having agreed ard then donble erossed these supporters, The bishop is also charged with forming a coalition with Bishop J. A. Hamlet of the C.M.E. Chireh. He is. also accjised of allowing Hamlett.to name more of the staff than his position called for. It is said that Bishop Vernon approyed of Hamlett’s action. ‘ Bishop Hamlett is president, of the state trustee hoard. The fact that only a few of those selected by the political factions received appointments aroused their ire. The bishop refused to prosecute Gaskin. He couldn't account for Gaskin’s hitting him on the head with a chair, A Call reporter interviewed Gas- kin, Towers, Boone and Turner. The statements follow: Chester Gaskin: “I haven't any statement to make relative to what has transpired, I have placed tive matter inthe hands of my attor- ney, William H, Towers. See him, he might-have something to say.” William H. Towers, attorney: “In my opinion the unfortunate incident is the result of a sustained nervous strain on the part of Gaskin and the other supporters of Bishop Ver- non. I personally know that no one worked harder or was more loyal to Bishop Vernon than Gas- kin in assisting him to secure the superintendency of the Industriab department of Western University. ‘The whole affair is to be regretted, but Iam encouraged to believe af-, ter talking to Bishop Vernon and Mr. Gaskin that the whole matter will _be adjusted amiably.” William Boone: “It’s a closed in- cident so far as T am concerned.” Charles Turner. “I don't. know ‘mavetintnie.?” Captain Marshall Buried With Military Honors at Arlington oie Gun Troop of Tenth Calvary Forms Escort, for Brilliant Army Officer Who Died of Injuries Suffered During War Pa aoe raga hit ete: Sebati viet- nae Marshall, world war hero, scholar, athlete, and diplomat, was buried with military honors Friday in.

For the first five days of this battle, I commanded my battalion in the absence of our major, who was ill.

Carmel Bap- tist Church Thursday night, Mr, LuValle reviewe | the three months of ‘the Roosevelt adminis- tration, telling of the ten major bills passed by the Congress at the request of the President, and said that the tide had turned during these three months. ‘The rise in the stock market presages better times ahead,” said the affirmative speaker, He said that the going off of the gold standard was’ possible the most far-reaching of the Presi- dent's. measures, ‘The industrial reeovery program. the home loan bill and the beer bill were praised by Mr. LuValle as the vehicles for prosperity along with the Mus- cle Shoals bill and the reforestra- tion act. He stated that all of this legis- lation was for the general good of this country and when the country as a whole is prosperous, the Ne- gro as an integral part of the whole: would be prosperous also. He stated that the President had heen so busy with these major bills that he had not the time to give much attention to. small appoint- ments or to the Negro, as such. But, the fact that a Negro was transferred from the Navy Depart- ment to the private secretary's of- fice of the President, as a clerk, the first time a Negro has been given such a position in the White House, and the changes from white to colaxed help in the White House presages the President's attitude toward the Negro and cast a. sigh of hope for the Negro to share in many presidential anpointments, Mr, Robb was on the defensive from’ the beginning and failed to produce meritorious. arguments to offset the program as laid down by the first sneaker. fle spoke of sev~ eral of the bils In a criticizing way without pointing out a single relief for the one he tackled.

The verdict of the jury was not supported by the weight of the evi- dence, ‘The verdict of the jury was con- teary to law, Because of the following errors occurring at the trial: A. The court received in evidence over the defendants’ objections and exceptions, exhibit No, 4, and other exhibits, the same being certain pictures taken many days subse- quent to the date of the occurrence, without any evidence that the scenes depicted were the same or similar tothe scenes’ on the date of the occurance.

Speaking of trained men in bux- iness, Mr. Jackson. said that it is ridiculous for a college to- cut out courses in applied’ science, since practically all the training for in- dustry must come through applied science courses. “Of what service is a college when it cuts out the most essential courses?” asked the speicalist. He said that white. people had been quite philanthropic.to the Ne- gro, giving him hospitals, nurseries, churches and schools, but never a busines enterprise. ‘The “Negro must make his own way in busi- ness against the white man’s oppo- sition and competition. One reason why he is so far behind in*business is that he needs a Simon Legree to Iash him on, Flays Women : ‘The speaker paid his respects to the Negra women of Washington in. particular by saying: that they studied the latest styles,. bridge rules and society columns, butt failed to study profits in business, economics or the benefits to be de- rived by a housewives’ organiza- tion for mutual benefit. He said that there is too wide a chasm be: tween the educated Negro and the common class. He said that Washington stands first in regular emptoyment, first in educational facilities and in high school and college graduates, and first in professional men and wo- men (there are 2,282 here). Itis fifth in Negro’ population, — but twenty-fourth in business and nine per cent below the national aver- age for colored, Nationally the Negro is engaged in every -line of business and in~ dustry except owning railroads, cir? cuses and stockyards.

Chicago, New York, Los Angeles FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1933 Coles et al Explain Since our editorial under the title "A Mystery" was published in the issue of May 19, The Tribune has received a letter from Mr. L. F. Coles, who was the author of the article which the editorial commented on. Another letter came from a friend of Mr. Coles who enclosed also a copy of a letter that he had sent to one of the papers mentioned by Mr. Coles in the article. Still another came from Mr. J. W. Carter, of Philadelphia, who says he was chairman of the committee of one hundred which appraised the colored papers at the convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association March 9, 10 and 11, in New York City. The curious thing about the letter from Mr. Coles is that he denies statements that were not in the Tribune editorial at all. The fact is, in the editorial we made no denial of any statement that was in the article by Mr. Coles, nor did we make any assertions of our own. We merely commented on what seemed to be certain curious features of the narrative. We regret that we cannot spare the space to publish the letter of Mr. Coles in full (it would occupy about two columns), although the most of it is taken up with matters in no way connected with the questions raised in our editorial. The letter of Mr. Coles's friend, however, explains one matter. It says: Mr. Coles got the floor and asked the conference to consider giving an appraisal of the Negro papers... The letter of Mr. Carter carries the matter a bit further, but leaves it confused. He says: Mr. Coles came to us and requested that we appraise the papers.... The body appointed a committee of one hundred which was subdivided into as many sub-committees as there were phases of the papers to be appraised, which accounts for the large committee. The Columbia University had nothing to do with the conference except it was held in one of the university buildings, and this was not an official act of the committee for it was not our business and we had no intention of appraising papers of any sort, but the committee as a matter of courtesy to Mr. Coles, did it after he had prevailed upon the body to do so. We kept no official record of the appraisal. I was chairman of the committee as a whole and we studied the papers about two hours each day, or a little more, therefore, you are in error when you say it took three days for the committee to appraise the papers. Now it seems that in the last paragraph, Mr. Carter has used the word "committee" for the word "body," the first time it is used in the paragraph (and maybe the second time also). But the main point is that he admits that such an appraisal was not to be expected from such a body on such an occasion, which was one of the matters that seemed curious to The Tribune, seeing that the body was made up of high school students, mainly white, of course. Mr. Carter, it seems, did not have the Tribune editorial itself before him, for the editorial did not say that "it took three days" to appraise the papers. The editorial quoted the statement of Mr. Coles in the original article which said: "They spent several hours on March 9 and several hours on March 10. On Saturday they discussed the papers and finally gave the following ratings:" However, Mr. Coles in his letter changes his estimate of the time to two hours. He says: I doubt that the committee worked on the papers over two hours either day, certainly not more. Now "several" hours carries quite a different implication from "two" hours as stated by Mr. Carter—and to most persons would, we think, justify the generalized statement of the editorial—"practically the entire time of the three-day session." However, the matter of hours, whether "several" or "two," is not important, but it is important that The Tribune is charged with saying that "the colored papers were not appraised," when the editorial did not say it. Nor did the editorial refer to the alleged appraisal as a "fake," as charged by a certain paper, which went so far as to put the words in quotes. Mr. Coles in his letter explains some other matters that seemed baffling. He says: They went into a committee room and at different times they came out to me for certain information. For instance, they would ask who was the make-up man, proof reader or city editor, and I named those persons who were named in the appraisal, hence the naming or mentioning of city editor or other persons whose names did not appear in the paper. Another phase of the matter which seemed curious was that the headquarters of the press association which made the purported appraisal should write: "We here in this office know nothing of a rating given to papers published by colored...during the convention March 9, 10, 11." However, the letter from the friend of Mr. Coles/says: They [the committee] brought in the report on the third day, and gave the report, after making it to Mr. Coles on a piece of yellow-paper, and Mr. Coles asked if they kept a record of it. The secretary... stated that he did not think it was necessary to keep a record... So, unless Mr. Coles can find the "piece of yellow paper" and publish it in full we shall be obliged to rely upon his recollection of, and his interpretation of, the committee's work. Nevertheless, the why and the how of a good deal of it, seems to The Tribune as mysterious as ever. No Reflection Intended George S. Schuyler, that versatile but irascible columnist, who entertains and enlightens us weekly in his "Views and Reviews" in the Pittsburgh Courier, writes The Tribune a scorching letter concerning a statement in our issue of May 26. He takes specific exception to the words "superficially there are grounds for the allegation." The clause occurs in a statement which reads as follows: 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. The superficiality referred to was merely the fact that Mr. Schuyler said a few things complimentary about some of the work done by the Firestone Company, which was of course, sufficient for writers of a certain class to use for the basis of the charge referred to. Our statement: "Of course no one who knows George believes any such charge is true," was, we thought, sufficient to show our refusal to give it credence. Since Mr. Schuyler did not seem to think so we reiterate and emphasize our belief in the integrity and sincerity of Mr. Schuyler, and regret anything in the editorial was capable of a different interpretation. Liberia Liberia has come into notice in the press recently on two or three accounts, the chief one being the general belief that the United States government is pressing the committee of the League of Nations to appoint an American as chief financial adviser under the league's plan for dealing with the question of Liberia's financial affairs, the most pressing one being the Firestone loan. The case for Liberia, regarding the loan itself, was set forth in an article by Ben N. Azikiwe, himself a West African, a graduate of Lincoln (Pa.) University. The article appeared in the Philadelphia Tribune six weeks ago. It is reprinted in another column. Other articles, presenting the other side, will follow in later issues. Liberty for Liberia From the Washington Daily News Peace organizations and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are protesting the State Department's reported policy of forcing an American adviser upon the Liberian government. The protests are in order. The United States Government already has enough trouble at home and abroad without embarking on a new venture in imperialism. The Firestone loan and concession should not put the Washington Government in the position of asking special privileges in Liberia or of exercising there any kind of dictatorship open or disguised. Liberia has asked the League of Nations Committee, which is now meeting in London with an American representative, to name as chief foreign adviser for Liberia a citizen of some nation which neither has nor seeks Liberian concessions. That is a reasonable request. It should rule out not only the United States but also Great Britain and France and the other imperialistic powers.

Put on Airs From the Kansas City Call We have never been satisfied with Liberia. That Negro republic, founded years ago to express the desire of American born Negroes for self-government, has matched white nations in disregard for the natives. Had it taken the other view, and treated the people back in the bush as men to be helped, it would have become a government sufficient unto it, self, backed with man power enough to have its wishes respected. Japan when first opened to outsiders faced the same situation as Liberia. The difference was that the one concentrated on developing itself. The other put on airs. Regardless of when so-called prosperity comes back, there will always be from one fourth to one-third of the Negro working class out of work, destined to become a dependent.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1933 Kelly Miller Says Only Future for Negro Is on the Farm White Proletariat Irrevocably Set Against Giving Black Man Equal Chance; Communism in America Unthinkable.

I now have in mind to follow substantially the line of discourse herein laid down. I shall have before me a group of students gathered mainly from the rural sections of the state who are familiar with agricultural conditions and know little of the allurements of city life. When we take a fifty-year vista of the economic future of the Negro our thoughts become solemn and sober if we assume any conscious: responsibility for the wise guidance and direction of this people. The improvement in discovery and invention and the perfection of machinery, lessening the need of human labor and swelling the ranks of the unemployed or of the partially employed is among the most obvious certainties of the near future.

NO ABATEMENT SEEN IN RACE PREJUDICE All candid minded social students will count on the continuance of race prejudice with its proscriptive policy which confines the Negro to the lower levels of remunerative service, shunts him aside or pushes him out altogether. The battle for bread is brutal and ruthless. The white workmen will not combine with the Negro nor permit him to compete with themselves. As our cities become more and more crowded, working opportunities for all will become more and more limited. It is but the optimism of the fool, as Dr. DuBois puts it, who would expect an even break for the Negro in the impending industrial struggle. That the existing method of production and distribution of goods must shortly undergo more or less radical reconstruction no thoughtful mind can for a moment doubt. That the whole trend of the new movement will be in the direction of liberalism and equalization is universally conceded. The Negro will doubtless share in this liberalization. All candid minded social students will count on the continuance of race prejudice with its proscriptive policy which confines the Negro to the lower levels of remunerative service, shunts him aside or pushes him out altogether. The battle for bread is brutal and ruthless. The white workmen will not combine with the Negro nor permit him to compete with themselves. As our cities become more and more crowded, working opportunities for all will become more and more limited.

COMMUNISTS ARE RESTLESS RADICALS AND IRRESPONSIBLES But the coming of a communistic state is too remote from the American mind to receive serious consideration. Only a few restless radicals and intellectual irresponsibles are propagandists of such revolutionary doctrine. It is not indigenous to the American soil and is incompatible with American doctrine and tradition. It is tinged with the foreign influence and flavor. Communism can never thrive in a country, the genius of whose government permits the free and untrammelled expression of individual judgment and opinion. But let us grant, for the sake of argument, that we are on the threshold of a communistic state, how will it fare with the Negro then? Whoever dreams that you can change so deep seated a passion as race prejudice by any theory of government has a more lively imagination than mine. The rulership of the white proletariat spells the doom of the Negro in this land. Tillman, Vardaman, Heflin and Blease exploited the prejudice of the under white man to keep the Negro under the heel of the white proletariat of the South. Appeal must constantly be made to the better element of the whites to deliver us from the oppressive weight of these apostles of race hatred and proscription.

BLACK MAN DEPENDS UPON THE CAPITALISTS The black man's salvation depends upon the domination of the capitalistic class. They have given him the only opportunity that he has. The attitude of the American Federation of Labor towards the black workman clearly indicates what would happen to the Negro if the proletariat had its uncontrolled way. A bare handful of foreign born or foreign inspired communists come to the Negro with persuasive appeal and practices and tell what they would do should they come into power. But the sum total of their effort upon the American mind is nil. They themselves have no effectiveness. That they should seek to proselyte the simple minded and unsophisticated Negro is entirely natural and is to be expected. It is a part of the philosophy of propaganda. The missionary makes "Rice Christians" of the lowest caste. But none of these things should deceive the elect and elite among us to whom the masses must look for wise, sane and safe guidance. Looking forward, then, for the next fifty years, to the rise of technocracy, to the capitalistically controlled state with modified economic motive, to the continuance of race prejudice and proscription—what future can we divine for the Negro? The city certainly holds little hope. What can we hope for Harlem fifty years hence? or South Chicago in 1980? or for the Philadelphia or Baltimore Negro at the end of the twentieth century?

NEGRO'S FUTURE IS ON THE FARM If the Negro in this land is to have any future as an entity in the equation of American life, it will not be in the city but on the farm. I know that the difficulties are great, the hardships and handicaps many. But man in contact with the soil is a co-worker with God in working out his own salvation. I trust that President Roosevelt in his comprehensive farm policies will make possible Negro farm communities where members of the race may form their own trading centers and develop a self-sustaining basis for a satisfied social life.

Murphy Do you sometimes find yourself out of step with your companions, listening to a voice which they cannot hear and keeping step with music that never reaches their ears? Has life ever dealt you a blow, knocking you into insensibility, only to have you awake and find that you have outgrown the people around you, and that the things which were of first significant to you yesterday have now receded to the back of your life, while your whole horizon is filled with the things you learned from life's blow? It may seem strange and tragic to you that the threads which you laid aside yesterday because of the voice that called you on, cannot be picked up and retied as easily as you expected. Your friends live in the same humdum world doing the same humdum things, but something in the interval has scared your soul and made it absolutely impossible for you to go back to the same old grind. Your sense of values has changed; your outlook on life has changed; your horizon has been broadened. Within your breast is a mighty tumult and a mighty ache. You feel like the soldiers who went to war and lived through horror on top of horror and came back and tried to adjust themselves to a world that had been remotely, but intimately contacted with either war or horror. You hate the people around you because they cannot see that the night maze which you slept with, has been carried into your waking hours—that it paints your days and colors your every move. You find yourself beating against invisible bars—trying to get through to the very knowledge which you have obtained. They cannot see that the new standards and values by which you must live because of what you have learned, is entirely different from those you lived yesterday, your period of adjustment is made doubly hard by the fact that no one around you realizes that you must make an adjustment. People only realize tragedy when it happens to themselves. People only realize pain when it is their own. Of course they sympathize. They are sorry. But they can't understand. So you find that you have outgrown the people around you who are your intimate companions. Your interests are no longer identical with theirs, because you know something that they do not know. Or maybe that they have forgotten. You've found one of the answers that they are still searching for. What are you going to do about it? Are you going to try to keep step with your companions, or are you going to be brave enough to admit the barrier which life and experience has erected between you, and follow the voice which they cannot hear, and keep step with the music that you know is there beyond the sound of their cars, because they have not paid the price to pass within the sound of it? Your friends will think you are peculiar and different. You'll never be able to explain to them that the pain life brought you yesterday has changed the world for you. There are no words to describe what took place within you. You are just as speechless in trying to explain pain or tragedy as you would be in trying to tell why a sunset or some particular bit of beauty thrilled you. People never understand souls, and it is a waste of time trying to make them do so. You couldn't make your best friend understand why the things which are of minor importance to him are of such vital necessity to you. So what are you going to do? Smile with your friends. Don't try to explain the horror of the past; they wouldn't appreciate or know what to do about it any way. Give to them the superficial things that make up every day life and—keep on listening to the voice which they cannot hear. Take the lessons which you have learned and use them. Remember that every time life picks out a particular person to bear a burden, that person, if he fails not the trust, finds himself so much nearer the infinite. It is absolutely necessary for soldiers to keep step, but an officer, because he has proved himself worthy of the position, leads the soldiers. He walks ahead because he has conquered foes that they have not met, and learned something that his soldiers do not know. And after the pain of it all has been erased by the kindly hand of Time, you will find within your heart an indefinable joy. You will lift your head high and march on, smiling at those who do not understand, because you know something that they do not know. Most of us get into trouble when we try to break the simple rules. We seek short cuts, new formulas, new religions, new standards. We write fat books, proposing new theories and new philosophies, but with all our wisdom and big words we cannot escape the simplicities.

AZIKIWE in the Philadelphia Tribune The rank of defaulters in their fiscal obligations to nationals of other states within their territory has been augmented by the declaration of a moratorium on the part of the Republic of Liberia on the Seven Per Cent Gold Bonds loan of 1926 negotiated with the Finance Corporation of America. supposed-was to be floated by the Finance Corporation of America, 12345v g-ied Plantations Company of Akron, Ohio. The loan called for a credit of $5,000,000, fifty per cent of which wa sto be ficated by the Finance Corporation and the other fifty per cent to be floated by the Liberian Government after its customs revenues have reached '800,000 for two years consecutively. This latter stipulation did not obligate the Corporation to buy the bonds, although it was agreed to use the amount realized from the sale thereof for industrial, economic, social and educational rehabilitation of the country. The $2,500,000 floated by the Corporation has been used to refund the external and internal obligations of the Republic prior to the agreement, and the Republic found itself once more in the throes of an economic dilemma. It had no alternative than to declare a moratorium. Relief Efforts Fruitless In authorizing President Barclay to default, the Legislature observed that "the Government of Liberia for more than a year has made several efforts and appeals to the Finance Corporation for relief from the consequent economic depression and result of financial strain imposed by the conditions of said loan, without success; and whereas the first duty of the Government is to insure its effective and efficient operation which cannot be done unless the civil establishment is regularly paid; and whereas the whole of the revenue intake of the Government has, up to the present, been applied to the service of the 1926 gold loan, resulting in the non-payment of salaries for the civil establishment which has consequently resulted in a serious situation of economic distress." The President was granted powers to inform the Finance Corporation of the inability to continue payments and that "the payment of interest and amortization is suspended until such time as the revenues of the Government for two consecutive years shall have amounted to six hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually." President Cites Good Faith In justifying the stand taken by his Legislature, President Barclay stated that Liberia had endeavored to meet its international fiscal obligations; that its public servants had loyally served at a sacrifice with an average salary of one month a year, for three years and at a fifty per cent reduction in salary. Indeed, this is a reflection of the good faith of the administration since the personal emoluments of the foreign officials under the loan regime have been promptly settled each month. It is also noticeable that the declaration of a moratorium does not necessarily imply a repudiation. President Barclay has asserted that, "By this enactment, the Government of Liberia does not repudiate its obligations under the loan agreement, but suspends same until payments can be resumed without the risk of endangering the proper functioning of government." U. S. Blamed for Difficulties An old, influential and London weekly, devoted to West African affairs comments that the "American group is responsible for" the ever-increasing financial difficulties of Liberia and it is surprising that the country has not long ago declared a moratorium....The little available money there is being drained out of the country, and probably there is not a single other country that would have allowed this to continue so long." Meanwhile, the United States Department of State has interpreted Liberia's attitude as not only violating Articles II, V, VII, IX, XIII, and XV of the loan agreement but "a contravention of American rights," in that it constituted a breach of contractual obligations. It has since dispatched to his weak country Major-General Blanton Winship, judge-advocate-general of the United States Army, as a "special American representative in an effort to straighten out tangled affairs between Liberia and the United States." The American Government has also published the telegraphic recommendations of the International Committee on Liberia, under the auspices of the League of Nations urging that republic "to abandon its present attitude as to make it impossible for financial negotiations to be forthwith begun in Geneva." (To be continued.) Probably half of urban noise is unnecessary, and could be eliminated at no expense if proper penalties were provided for those who abuse the rights of those who desire quiet. Unless a woman is willing to see that the buttons are on a man's clothes she never ought to marry. SPECIAL FEATURES Digesting the News By Clifford C. Mitchell An Improved Service Although this is written on the Sunday (June 4) preceding my release (June 8) from prison, it will not appear in the majority of our papers until after I will have been in the free world for nearly a week. This, of course, is merely one of the handicaps under which I have been laboring as a prison and colored journalist. Immediately after my release this service will be improved by arranging my production and mailing service so as to reach and satisfy the "dead-line" date of the current issue of all the papers I serve in every part of America. Under such a worng schedule I will then be in a position to give our publishers and my readers a real up-to-the-minute "digest" of all pertinent matter appearing in the current issues of our weeklies, and all dailies. My readers will appreciate that in the past my sole contact has been through the columns of a hundred or more of our publications that have reached me regularly and when such publications are of necessity late in reaching me, and my comments not prepared until the Sunday following and then not published until the second week following their preparation, it can readily be seen that in my effort to keep my releases "timely" I have been unable to "digest" many current events at an opportunity time. In an additional effort to improve my service I invite correspondence from all of my readers and will at all times endeavor to give each communication prompt and careful consideration, which, due to my past circumstances. I have been unable to do. It may be that in the flood of letters I hope to receive that I can evolve some additional service, through the press and through personal communications that will enable my readers to take advantage of the storehouse of information which I have built up through the tens of thousands of compilations to be found in my files. In fact, just as ninety-nine per cent of my past contacts have been made through the columns of our publications, I anticipate, especially during the period of my parole, that ninety-nine per cent of my personal contracts will be solely through correspondence. After I have served the period of my parole and become absolutely a free man then it will be time enough to attempt further development of my service through strictly personal contacts. Until that time arrives I am asking for the continued co-operation of the publishers, and the readers of my weekly features. Address me: Clifford C. Mitchell. 3507 South Parkway, Chicago, Jil. IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER Of "Black Bagdad," by John H. Craig (Minton, Balch & Co., 2 W. 45th St., New York). Clifford C. Mitchell says that, printed on the jacket of "Black Bagdad" is this statement: "The Arabian Nights Adventures of a Marine Captain in Haiti," and no more fitting description of the book's contents can be so briefly given. White readers will really enjoy the book as it is filled with hair-raising exploits and adventures of a white American marine in a land populated, so the book infers, by descendants of savages, many of whom still carry on in their mysterious tribal, superstitious, and savage manner. Negro readers, especially those who are overly-sensitive in not seeing the "N" in Negro capitalized, or those who resent inferences that the black race, in general, is vastly inferior; incapable of perpetuating their own self-government; with no or little regard to clean morals and high character, will not become so enthused in reading "Black Bagdad" even though it is a highly entertaining narrative. Some readers might even think that "Black Bagdad" is an excellent bit of propaganda defense of the American occupation in Haiti, and a super-master-defense of the superiority of the white American marine. Withal, "Black Bagdad" adds to my knowledge of some Haitian conditions. John H. Paynter, of 701 Fifty-first Street, Northeast, is expecting to have published at an early date a book under the title of "At Home With Uncle Sam, or; Old Treasury Days." Mr. Paynter already has two published books to his credit, "Joining the Navy, or, Abroad with Uncle-Sam," and "Fugitive of the Pearl." The years of recovery will require a different type of sales manager from the type that functioned so well in the days of hectic prosperity. The job you like that pays a living is the most priceless of all possession. A Long Short Story A Long Short Story From the N. Y. Amsterdam News Seventeen years ago a young man of twenty-two years was engaged by Jesse Binga, the Chicago banker, and Fenton Johnson, the poet and his nephew, to manage the Champion Magazine for three months under a specific trial agreement. Transportation was forwarded to the young man here in New York by Binga and when he reached Chicago the first day there and several of those which followed were spent with him. The fare was repaid to Binga out of the first three or four weekly salary checks the young man received for his services. They were drawn on Binga's own bank. The break between Binga and the young man came within less than sixty days and the former refused to carry out his part of the written agreement and pay for the remaining thirty or more days' service due under it. Stranded a thousand miles away from his base, the young man appealed to the Legal Aid Society of Chicago and an action was brought for the overdue pay. The case was heard before a jury and a $100 verdict was reached in favor of the plaintiff. Binga appealed to a higher court and when the case was retrieved he had Miss Inez Cantey, the cashier of his bank, to take the witness stand. The then young woman identified the last check given to the plaintiff and swore that it had been endorsed "paid in full" at the time it was handed to the plaintiff. No such endorsement was on it and it could only have been put on it after it had been cashed and returned to the Binga bank. Binga and several other of his employees testified that no agreement had been made between him and the plaintiff, that the latter did not see him for several weeks after he reached Chicago, that he did not send him railroad fare by wire to come to Chicago and that there was no reason why it should have been repaid to him. Fenton Johnson, the editor of the magazine, had also broken with his uncle and had returned to New York. Lacking funds, the young man did not have even the advice of counsel. He had no means of corroborating his testimony. The judge, incidentally a friend of the banker, reached a decision in favor of Binga, the defendant. The plaintiff was the writer of this editorial. Seventeen years later finds Jesse Binga under conviction and awaiting sentence for embezzling $32,000 from the defunct Binga State Bank. By a strange change of circumstances, his old cashier, the woman who swore falsely concerning the endorsement of the check referred to above, and who had been twenty-three years in his employ, was the state's chief witness against him at his trial. Under cross-examination before he was found guilty, Binga exclaimed: "I can't stand it! I can't stand it! You've killed my wife! You've taken my property! Now you're trying to kill me! You're perse-cutting me!" With that he fled from the witness stand to the floor below and cried like a baby. His tears availed him nothing, for by his own misdeeds he had convicted himself. The jury merely re-echoed the verdict. Our Mail The Tribune welcomes letters of comment or criticism, but to receive consideration they should not exceed 200 words.

Thanks From 'One to Whom We Owe Thanks Washington Tribune Co. It is both a pleasure and privilege of mine to receive and appreciate the gentle token of regards and esteem with which you have so appropriately elected to compliment me for the composition and rendition of my latest musical number: "The Washington Tribune March." The acceptance, you are assured of this most lovely and dainty aggregation of floral beauties, will be accompanied by those treasured sentiments of appreciation for service rendered which will be delicately enhanced with the passing years; and, coming as they do, while the bright and lustrous sunlight of life still adorns my being, it marks that turn in evaluation of life which elects to strew the paths of the living and not the dead with floral memertes for service to our fellow man. In the fond hope that The Tribune too, may long live to shed its effulgent and enlightening rays of truth and knowledge upon our expanding and progressing commonwealth, it is my supreme and ardent pleasure to again thank you, yes a thousand times for this gracious token of regard and appreciation.

They were everywhere, did everything and throughout the entire day co-operated to the utmost. I believe you could credit the day as of educational value; there was much to learn and there was little they did not find out. These few words but poorly express my thanks; however, I trust that may be of service to the boys at some time in the near future. (Signed) May D. Lightfoot, Chairman, Flower Committee, G.A.R.

Youth's Corner Youth's Corner By Alvin (Chick) Webb In which ye editor strives to give advice to an old friend who is bent on entering the primrose path: Dear A— Many of our mutual friends have called my attention to your recent escapades. Three weeks ago they tell me that you were caught in a raid at that "not-so-nice" roadside inn, and that you had to pay five dollars to obtain your freedom and self-respect. Two weeks ago another one of my informers told me that you were puffing away on an old discarded ciggie, "butt" that Heaven only knows. where you picked it up. Now I ask you, old friend, is that any way for a lady to act? And I have always presumed that you were a lady. To crown everything, I saw you (in the flesh last week) seated in the lap of an elderly gentleman-about-town in one of our popular cinema houses, and when they snapped the lights on for the intermission, you jumped up and out of that man's lap, just as though some one had shot you out of a cannon. Now, little lady, I never like to middle in other people's business, but will you kindly cease your daring activities right here and now? The Lord only knows just what your next step will be. Your well wisher. Gentle reader, do not be misled by the above. I address this especially to the feminine perusers of this column. It was not an intended slam for you or you or you. Although some will agree with me that there are many similar thoughless girls to be found hither and yon among us. So if you have a little t.g. in your home, remind her that while the primrose path may LOOK like the shortest road to happiness, that along its paths are strewn danger and gloom—inevitable in its occurrence as is the night that follows the day. YOUTHFUL PERSONALITIES Miss Mattie Lee Weaver Washington is more or less conspicuous for its "name" families. Strewn around the beautiful environs of the capital city are certain family names that stand out more or less prominently among all the other family cognomens that we are all familiar with. Among the Negro families in Washington such appellatives as Tignor, Scurlock, Wormley, Chisley, Jackson are well known among the oldest of inhabitants. Down in traditional Southwest Washington the colored family of Weavers that emigrated from the Southern state of Alabama to Washington have conspicuously distinguished themselves. The subject of this sketch, Miss Mattie Lee Weaver, upholds the traditions of the Weaver family, by being thrifty and pennywise. Her two older brothers, Robert and Lewis, have carved well-established niches in the fields of business for BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL History shows that those races that have made greatest progress in every age have been large users of Milk and other Dairy Products Leading 100% Independent Washington Institution For More Than 50 Years themselves. Mattie tells me that she was born in the town of Ensley, Alabama, just twenty-one years ago, and had the greater part of her schooling in that state. After she completes her labor by day, she wends her weary way to night school, where she is bent on pursuing higher studies. She is fond of athletics, especially swimming and track. She aspires to be a great track athlete some day. Evidently athletics is good for the shape, for if my mathematical calculations are accurate, I believe that she must be a perfect 36, or is it 26? Anyhow, she is good to look at. When Mattie Lee will have saved what she deems to be a considerable sum of money she tells me that she shall venture out on a business career—which is in strict keeping with the Weaver acumen for business. Her only weakness probably lies in the fac she has a mania for cars. But then, who hasn't? Friendship Baptist Junior Choir asks me to pen a note or two relative to their recent jig saw party that was successfully held at the residence of Miss Marie Hilleary, at 1709 Ninth Street, Northwest. The proceeds of the party were turned over to the church's treasury, which is in the midst of a great rally at the present time. Plans are being launched for a similar affair in the very near future. * * * * * * In 1929, the St. Christopher Track Club of Harlem was invited to participate in the first annual Westchester County Track and Field Games. This club, of which I was a member, was composed of sixteen track men, who had all made their marks in local and high school competition. However, the trip (by railroad to Westchester, from Harlem) was somewhat expensive and only four of the members decided to accept the invitation to participate in the games. Among this small number were three senior club men, Thompson, Campbell, and Brown. I was the only junior that took the trip. Fate was against us making that trip, for we met with innumerable disasters along the route. To begin with, the four of us started out with too little cash. I believe that we had about seven dollars in good American money which we hoped would be sufficient to carry us both ways. Brown approached the ticket window and inquired somewhat timidly about the cost of a round trip ticket. He was completely shocked that the cost would be three dollars a head—five dollars more than we had in our possession, whereupon Campbell hit upon the novel idea of purchasing tickets that would take us five miles from the scene of the games. So we bought the tickets. About an hour later, we arrived five miles off, finding ourselves in a little country road, hoping that some kind-hearted and benevolent soul would "give us a life." A half hour was lost hailing motorists that passed along, but none seemed to possess the kindliness of spirit to "give us a break." whereupon we decided to walk it. Can you imagine it? After we had hiked about two miles a passing van hailed us and drove us to the track, after we were just about ready to "keel over." We arrived at the track only to find out that all of the senior events had been run off except the relay, and that the starter was about to run off the last heat of the junior 75-vard dash. Forunately I had on my track suit beneath my street clothes, and after I peeled them off I breathlessly ran to the starting line—tired and nervous. I qualified for the final by a hair. Later, after an hour's rest, I SALVATION ARMY COLORED CORPS TO CELEBRATE Twentieth Anniversary Services to Cover Three Days, June 17 to 19 The twentieth anniversary of Salvation Army, No. 2 Corps, Seventh and P Streets, Northwest, will be celebrated June 17, 18 and 19.

The relay also won a plaque for finishing second—but did we sleep that night! THEY TELL ME THAT: June is the month of romance... when man and maid turn to the lighter things of life... and build gentle air castles that rarely develop into realities... it is a month of weddings...or rather tradition has deemed June to be the most popular "wedding" month... depression, economic disasters of sundry kinds, all tend to limit these sacred ceremonies to a selected or courageous few—song writers and poets were among the earliest, to acquire the full significance of this beautiful season...the most beautiful melodies and sonnets have been dedicated to June...still I should feel satisfied that I was born in May. The railroads are offering entrate student tickets to school boys and girls as an inducement to visit the famed Chicago's World Fair this summer...the only trouble with most of us now in regard to that offer is that "those good old days" have fled...nevertheless you, you, and even I would like to visit old Chi are the warmth of the breezes depart from these regions.

The natural beauty of the campus, together with fleckless blue skies, lent itself to the occasion, the highlight of which was an unusual pageant depicting the trend of Negro history in Pennsylvania. Student after student took his place before the microphone and told of what his people have done in the progress of the Keystone State both with brain and brawn "Slavery and its Abolition"; the "Early Economic and Social Life" of the group, the meager "Beginnings in Education," which finally led to a full recognition of the "Pennsylvania Negro in Art," as well as adequate discussions of the "problems of the Pennsylvania Negro," all found places on the program which was carried out from beginning to and under the sole direction of the student body. A playlet, "Ability Counts," written by Mr. Hunt of the trades department, and ably acted. Virginia State Speaker Challenges Teachings of Church and School PETERSBURG, Va. — Co mmencement exeises marking the close of the fifteenth academic year of Virginia State College were held in the College Gymnasium Tuesday, June 6, when Dr. James E. Rose, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Rochester, N.Y., who graduated from the college in 1907 delivered a brilliant commencement address. President John M. Gandy conferred degrees upon and issued diplomas to ninetynine graduates from the various divisions of the college and announced the graduation of 105 more. 32 more from the high school and 73 during the summer quarter 1932. Speaking on the subject "The Modern Quest for the Good Life," Dr. Rose told the graduates of the college of the collapse of former moral and spiritual standards and the urgent need for new standards today. "In regard to sex and the family, the nature of education, the claims of the state, the sphere of art and recreation, the value of religious worship and religious institutions, and many other questions, a fresh discovery of standards is most urgently needed. Too many, today, in such matters either are depending on standards that they do not intellently believe in, are abandoning their former standards and taking unreasoning impulse and selfish desire as their guide, or else are making a weak compromise between these two attitudes. "Parents want their children to accept standards that they themselves are discarding. Schools continue forms of teaching known to be barren and perfunctory. Capital preaches law and order and places itself above the law. Labor demands greater economic justice and disregards the ethics of good workmanship. "Religious forms and institutions which are not believed in are maintained for the good of society. For lack of a fresh discovery of standards men are having to choose between unintelligent customand irrational impulse." These conditions the speaker described as indicative of the kind of world that the graduates are going out into and of the kind of adjustments they will need to make in order to make their lives count for the most through the years to come. On the question of the disintegration of the American family which is first to confront those in quest of the "good life." Dr. Rose blamed the Christian church for trying to sidestep the perplexities of the divorce problem. "We have forced people to lie who otherwise would have gladly told the truth. We have forced people to live together when all the sacred ties that should have bound them together have been severed and only a legal bound exists between them. We have forced men and women into adultery who might otherwise have been living honorable lives. "It is here that we seem to forget that in every department of human life we are subject to making of grave mistakes. It is not the divorce that has caused these mistakes, it is rather because the Christian church has regarded divorce as a cause rather than an effect that she has committed all these wrongs," declared the speaker. "Divorce never broke up a single marriage. This is not quibbling with words. It is a stark and horrifying tragedy—adultery, cruelty, disertion, the death of one cherished affection, love turned to hate, desperation and dispair—it is these that break up marriages." Shaw Ends Sixty-eighth Year eighth annual commencement of eighth annual commencement of Shaw University was held on June 6. The commencement address was delivered by Dr. Eugene C. Carder, associate minister of the Riverside Church, New York City. Dr. Carder spoke on the importance of the observance of commandments growing out of life. "Education has not come to you yet," he said. "It will only come through the experience of your life. You do not have to know it all. The wise people are those who realize that they can learn from others." Dr. Carder was introduced by President Wm. Stuart Nelson as the guiding hand in the construction of the famous Riverside church and as one who now administers the program of the church. Music for the exercises was furnished by the university choral society. Dr. G. O. Bullock, of Washington, D.C., and Dr. W. H. Moore, of Wilmington, N.C., offered the opening and closing prayers of the exercises. Storer Graduates Largest Class HARPERS FERRY.

For the first time the college group had their own class night, which inaugurated commencement week exercises. The high school class night exercises followed. At that time a beautiful silk flag was presented to the college by them. Then followed the grippingly lovely Gypsy Operaetta "Chonita" given by the Beethoven Choral Society of the college. In this some forty singers in specially prepared costumes participated. Following this came the alumni night at which time an all-star Storer program was given. The sermon to the class was given by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, D.D., pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Washington. He took as his theme "Such a Time As This" following the charge to Queen Esther. It was an eloquent appeal to the crowded congregation to be ready for any event in life, to meet and master it and to make all experiences serve one's proper ends and purposes. At the commencement exercises on Monday, there was no formal commencement address. The exercises consisted chiefly of orations and music by various members of the graduating class. Loncoln Graduates Seventy-two LINCOLN UNIVERSITY, Pa. The seventy-ninth annual commencement at Lincoln University held on Tuesday, June 6, under the trees in front of Livingstone Hall, was notable by the attendance of the largest number of friends and alumni that have been present in recent years, by a large graduating class and notable addresses, and by the conferring of the degree of doctor of laws upon Professor Walter Livingstone Wright who has just completed forty years of service as professor of mathematics and is now vice-president of the university. Sixty-five received the degree of bachelor of arts, three bachelor of sacred theology and four received diplomas. Dr. Arthur D. Wright president of the John F. Slater Fund, Washington, D.C., discussed the question: "What Does Society Expect of Me as a College Graduate?" He spoke highly of the standing that Lincoln graduates occured in their communities all over the country. Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute and a trustee of the university said that the educated Negro must not only influence, guide and direct the 12,000,000 or 13,000,000 of their own race in this country and the teeming millions in Africa but the white people of this country as well. Dr. Moton alluded to the fact that in recently published "Who's Who Treasure! from the pantry shelf EVEN between meals Schindler's is much sought after by healthy children who need its rich, nourishing goodness!

Solomon Porter Heed, former United States minister to Liberia, spoke for the class of 1873, of which he was a member. A feature of the occasion was the conferring of the honorary degree of doctor of laws upon Max Yergen, a Y.M.C.A. worker in South Africa; of doctor of divinity upon the rev. Allen W. Rice, of Anniston, Ala.; doctor of pedagogy upon William W. Sanders, 37, for eighteen years the superintendent of Negro education in West Virginia; and of master of arts upon William L. Reed, executive secretary of the Governor's Council of Massachusetts. The music was rendered by the Lincoln university glee club who gave a vesper recital on the library lawn on Sunday evening. Twenty-six Graduates from Livingstone SALISBURY N.C.-The fifty-first session of Livingstone College was brought to a close last Wednesday afternoon with the annual commencement exercises. Twenty-six seniors received the bachelor's degree. President Walter L, Lingle, of Davidson College, Davidson, N.C., delivered the principal address. In addition, there were three orations, the salutatory address, the class oration and the valedictory address. President Lingle said, "that the teacher's primary function was to teach the student to think—not merely to fill the student up with a miscellaneous assortment of facts, but to draw him out and develop his personality. "An individual's personality," he said, "is his biggest asset." Morgan College BALTIMORE. Md.—The commencement exercises on June 1 closed one of the most successful years in the history of Morgan College in all phases of its activities except financial. Fifty-nine young men and women were awarded the bachelor's degree as follows; 26 bachelor of arts, 15 bachelor of science in education, 17 bachelor of science and I bachelor of science in home economics. There were 453 students enrolled during the year from 17 states, 41 members of the teachers' staff, 9 executives and 9 artisans and workmen. Varies efforts are being put forth by the college and interested friends in order to raise about $17,000 to balance the budget. If success is attained in these efforts, the year 1932-33 will go down in the college history as one of the most memorable in its 66 years of existence. Some Achievements The department of speech sponsored an international debate with the team from Oxford University, England. The dramatic club appeared in 14 cities in the East and received the commendations and congratulations of dramatic critics. This club was the winner of the second prize in the annual contest of the Colored Intercollegiate Dramatic Association. The chorus of 60 voices was in constant demand here for appearances in churches and at radio stations. The quartet made several tours in Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. The Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A. exerted great influence upon the religious life of the campus, and met frequently with the Y.M.C.A. of Johns Hopkins University at which time topics of inter-racial, social and economic importance were discussed. The departmental clubs did much to stimulate study and research. 11 STITCHES TAKEN TO CLOSE BOY'S CUTS Bainbridge Thomally, 17, of 611 Fregman's Court, Northwest, was severely stabbed by an unknown person on Sixth Street, between N and O Streets, early Thursday morning. At Freedmen's Hospital, where the young man was treated, six stitches were taken in a chest wound, three in the left thigh, and two in his left wrist. Good work is rarely done amid noise. It frays the nerves, interrupts the mind, and upsets the stomach.

You are invited to send in your favorite recipe, or letters of interest to the housewife. Fetch Your Canned Goods for Quality when you pick up a can of corn the grocery store and look at label, decorated with a picture an can of corn and some fancy name like would do if you are watching pennies pretty closely, "Grade C" or a "Substandard" grade (which merely means a wholesome food lacking some of the qualities of the higher grades) would give adequate flavor to such dishes as corn pudding, corn soup, corn fritters, tomatoes with corn and cheese, and so on. It is easy to see how helpful these grades will be when they are once adopted universally. It is important for the housewife's voice to be heard in the matter, for at present distributors of canned goods declare that the housewife does not read the labels. When she convinces them that she does, and that she prefers to buy canned goods bearing plainly marked quality grades, she is more likely to get this information on the labels. SLICED VEAL LOAF IS GOOD FOR COLD CUTS Veal loaf, like any meat loaf, is a good two-purpose choice for warm weather. It can be served hot, but to some ways of think, star. Mr. Bowie, giving two read. It is also fine for sandwich filling; either with or without lettuce or watercress. In making a veal loaf (or one of any other meat), mold the ground meat with the hands after mixing it with the seasonings and the "binder," rather than pack it into a loaf tin, as people often do. Then if baked in a moderate oven, the outside of the molded loaf browns but does not acquire a hard crust that interferes with slicing. Also the loaf needs no basting during slow baking, and the meat juices are retained. Meat from the neck, shank, or other inexpensive cuts is excellent for use in veal loaf.

It will undoubtedly become a regular family favorite. The flavor of the yellow cornmeal, seasoned with ginger and molasses, and slowly baked in milk, is delicous in itself.

FRAZIER Watch Your Canned Goods for Quality When you pick up a can of corn in the grocery store and look at the label, decorated with a picture of an ear of corn and some fancy name like "Golden Glow." "Smith's Bantam," or "Best Country Gentleman," what do you really learn about the contents? How can you tell, in choosing among several brands, which one is worth the most, or is most suitable for your purpose? P Mrs. Frazier not an indication, for one store may price the same brands differently from another. The fancy name tells you nothing. In fact, the contents of cans of apparently different brands, sold at varying prices, may look and taste about the same when you open them up. It is said that there are about 4,500 brands of canned corn, 1,000 brands of canned peaches, 300 brands of canned pineapple, and 1,000 brands of canned salmon. Many wholesale distributors buy and sell according to fancy brand names which mean certain quality grades to them, but which mean nothing to the housewife. How can she expect to judge canned foods by brands or price? Your government has some help for you if you are interested in procuring the best value for every penny you outlay for food. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture has already established definite quality standards for several kinds of canned goods, particularly corn, peas, tomatoes, snap beans, and lima beans, and is working on others. The bureau urges canners and distributors to print these quality grades on the labels so the housewife can tell at a glance what grade she is getting. It urges the housewife to ask for these grades until they are in common use. The Bureau of Agricultural Economics believes that it would be much simuler and fairer to everybody concerned—grower, cannper, wholesaler, retailer, and housewife—if "Grade A" or "Fancy," "Grade B" or "Choice," "Grade C" or "Standard," and "Substandard" (now required by law) were plainly printed on labels according to the contents of the can. Under the Food and Drugs Act, labels on all food products must be truthful. So it is sufficient for the canner or distributor to learn for himself what grades he has to offer and to guarantee these grades on the labels. If the cans enter into interstate commerce, and the statements are not truthful, the foods may be seized and the canner prosecuted by the government. There is also a special new official grading service which is available to those who wish to pay for it. If an inspector appointed by the government has personally supervised every stage of preparing and canning the food, including the sanitation of the plant, the distributor or canner may mark his goods "U. S. Grade A," and so on. But the "U.S." may not appear on the label unless this service has actually been performed. How does knowing the grade affect your selection in buying canned foods? Like every careful housewife, you doubtless have different uses for different qualities. Take canned corn as an example. For a company dinner, you are willing to pay a trifle extra, and get "Grade A." When you give the family plain stewed corn, you want it good in flavor, but not high in cost. "Grade B" or "Choice" would be very nice, and "Grade C" SEVEN Homekeepers Benefit By Shopping the ASCO Way **ASCO** Toasted Corn Flakes ..... 2 big pkgs. 18c Campbell's Tomato Soup ..... 2 cans 13c Campbell's Assorted Soups ..... 3 cans 25c **ASCO** Tomato Soup or Puree ..... can 5c Sweet Santa Clara Prunes ..... 2 lbs. 15c Peanut Butter ..... 16-oz. jar 10c P & G Naphtha Soap ..... 3 cakes 10c Sunbrite Cleanser ..... 3 cans 11c Selox ..... 2 pkgs. 21c Handy Scrub Bruhes ..... each 10c 10-qt.

Since that time, Mr. Pelham has developed a tech- nical language necessary to his field of activity.

These specifi cations: serve as a guide for officers of tHe school system and of the Distolek igeysenments ‘Accepting such protracted exper: ience in writing the kind of Eng- lish thas fnetions in relation to i profession, the faculty construed it as a fit equivalent of the senior English in 1914, which barred him from! a-diploma, and recognized ni the sate time the real contribution that hejhas made to the reputation of his alma mater. “Mikey” ax he is popularly known, is copsidered:an. aéxet: tn: the entire school ‘system, {or | Hila activities spreadioyer'allthe. divisions from 1 0192. ‘The: service which he ren- dered at the Franklin Adyinistra- tion Building ‘is among his notable achievements.

School, officers’ throughout the Vice-Dean Houston Answers Pickens on Scottsboro Case Insists That Pressure of Public Opinion is Necessary to Save Victims of Frame-Up; Says Talks by Ruby Bates Will Create Favorable Sentiment “If the (Scottsboro) boys are to be saved the torture of a second trial, they. must be saved by. the pressure of public opinion on the officials of Alabama.” In these challenging words, Charles H. Houston, local lawyer oe: vice-dean. of Howard Law ol, conclides.a letter ‘he gent to the editor of the Amsterdam News, New York, showing up as false the claims made in an article by Dean Pickens that mass action of the workers rallied through the International Labor Defense, in charge of the Scottsboro boys’ de- fense, hurt theit case. Far from being so, Houston says. the only chance the boys have to escape execution, as they have done s0,far, is through effective mass ac- tion of the workers, the letter states, Houston also attacks the Pickens article for saying that Ruby Bates, whose dramatic testimony at the Heywood Patterson retrial com- pletely exposed the frame-up against the boys, was “exploited by Communists” by her speeches and other activities to help cleat the innocent boys. Pickens Lacks Facts “Dean Pickens appears to be wrong in his facts,” he wrote. “The organization directly hehind_ the public appearances of Ruby Bates are the International. Labor De- fense and the National Scottsboro Action Committee, not the Commit- tee, not the Communist Party.” ‘These, he points out ate non-par- tisan organizations, drawing thei membership from all “ranks of life and all political parties with the sole purpose of obtaining justice for the working classes and all ‘those unable to earry the burden of their own defense.” “Dean: Pickens seems to think that justice for the Scottshoro boys ‘ean be obtained in Alabama with. out pressure,-and that the associa: ion of the International Labor De ferise with {Hé case hurts the boys casey?-the etter continues. “I dis agree. “What sort of justice did the hays obtain in Alabama before the International Labor Defense en tered the ease?

When she told Mr. Howe, Secretary to the President, and told Mr. Rainey, Speaker of the House, that the Scottsboro boys are inno- cent, she exposed the frame-up at the doors of the highest authority in the land. Granted that these officials as na- tional officers, have no legal power officially to intervene In the, case, nevertheless, as leaders. of the American people they ignore it at their peril. In this connection, be it remembered that although Pres- ident Wilson had no official power over the prosecution of Mooney in the State Court of California, nev- ertheless he sent a personal emis- sary to'the Governor of California to hold up the exeeution of Mooney and Billings lest it have » disas- trous effect upon our Russian al- lies in the late World War, “It is not beyond the realm of possibility that if these Scottsboro cases proceed and the boys ate ac- tually threatened with execution, an American president may yet have to intercede and use his good offices in Alabama lest America be condemned before the public opin- ion of the world, “Send Ruby Abroad” “Ruby Bates's value as a witness in Alabama is not being destroyed by her. present activities and pub- lie appearances among Negroes.

Roy A. Carter, a blind preacher, delivered the sermon to the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Monday, at Second Baptist Church. He stated that he had held eight revivals this year and had received more than 500 people into these eight churches. He advised the ministers "to see that you have a message from God. Do not be so selfish as to use power not coming from God; and do what God tells you—that will keep you busy." The speaker advised the ministers to use whatever means they have. He cited Moses and his rod, David and his sling, Elisha and his mantle, and Sampson and his long hair as examples of men who used what they had for God. He stated that every man God called had a job. He said that God is not calling lazy, jobless men to work for Him. He wants live, dynamic men for His service. The quartet of young men from the Virginia Seminary at Lynchburg rendered two selections for the ministers. The financial roll was called and many of the ministers were reported in arrears, some for more than $3.00. The monthly dues are 10 cents.

Clarke Returned to Former Charge by Bishops' Council NEW YORK.—The Rev. Edward A. Clarke, who was transferred from Bethel A.M.E. Church by Bishop Heard, was returned to his charge by an order of the bishops' council sitting at Wilberforce University Thursday. The returned pastor received a tremendous ovation from his congregation. Sunday. The action of the council in overruling Bishop Heard sets an important precedent in the conduct of the affairs of the denomination. The Amsterdam News says: "The local minister, whose threatened transfer precipitated a riot in Bethel on May 28, was sent back to Bethel by a council poll of 14-1—the dissenting vote being cast by Bishop Heard, who nearly suffered bodily injury here when he announced the transfer. "Having established this precedent, the Bishops' Council—by the same vote—dealt two more blows at the rulings of the official. The council returned the Rev. Charles Spivey to St. James' A.M.E. Church in Newark, and the Rev. Slade to Mt. Zion Church in Philadelphia. Near riots had also attended these transfers. "Still another telling blow was dealt Bishop Heard when the council ruled that the election of the Rev. L. L. Berry as Secretary of Missions, to succeed the late Rev. E. H. Coit, was illegal. The Rev. Carl Flipper, of Kansas City, son of the senior bishop, the Rt. Rev. Joseph S. Flipper, was then elected to the post. The Rev. Mr. Berry was sent back to his old charge in Norfolk, Va. "The demands of the Bethel congregation were carried to the Bishops' Council in Wilberforce last week by Thomas W. Turner, of the trustee board and H. H. Denis. The church demanded either the removal of Bishop Heard, the transfer of Bethel from the First to the Third Episcopal district or the re-appointment of the Rev. Mr. Clarke. The last request was granted. "The council's action was the result of long agitation by A.M.E. churches for more voice in the determination of their affairs. The precedent will have a far-reaching effect on the administration of the denomination." Fairmont Heights Presbyterian A varial and well-selected literary and musical program entitled "Nations on the Air," was rendered recently at the Fairmont Heights Presbytrian Church under the general direction of W. B. Sanderson, Sr., who with the participants received praise from those present including Dr. Ambrose Caliver of the office of Education. The Rev. H. W. Campbell is pastor of the church. Tabernacle Baptist Church "Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted?? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men." The Rev. E. J. Bradshaw the pastor took his theme for last Sunday morning's sermon from the above verse. He declared that in as much as the chief function of salt is to destroy the disease and to preserve that which is good, so the church must destroy the false institutions in the world and preserve that which is good. The Young's Men's Forum debated the question of governmental control of utilities on last Thursday evening. The team for the affirmative, composed of W. Harris and G. Rhone defeated the negative team (M. Harris and L. Chase) by a large margin. The program was both interesting and educational. Ralf Hughes was master of e. comonies. The forum has announced that its next offering will be a mock trial. The Young Men's Club of Northeast Washington a new organization and a, branch of Tabernacle, has recently been organized for the purpose of giving boys between the ages of twelve and eighteen civic, vocational and recreational guidance. James R. Cousins, Jr. is sponsoring the club and has elaborate plans for its future activities. People's Congregational The services of the People's Congregational Church next Sunday will be devoted to Children's Day with an appropriate story for the children by the minister, the Rev. A. F. Elmes, on the theme, "The City Beautiful." At 6:30 p.m. the young people will present a pageant—"Who Bids?" Mid-week prayer service Thursday at 8 p.m. DR. TAYLOR AT HOOD COLLEGE AGAIN By an Observer When the Synod of Baltimore and the Women's Synodical Society for Missions met in the dining hall of Hood College at Frederick, Md., for their first dinner on Monday evening, June 12, upon the invitation of the chairman of the committee of arrangements, Dr. A. E. Barrows, of Washington, D.C., and the moderator of synod, Dr. William S. Hess, of Hagerstown, Md., Dr. Halley B. Taylor, of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church of Washington, D.C., offered the invocation and asked the blessing, and then occupied his seat beside the moderator who had at his table his wife, three other women and two other men—one a conference leader, a professor in Princeton Theological Seminary. This statement will doubtless be interesting to those who remember that during June and July, 1920, a number of the leading newspapers of both races carried articles concerning Dr. Taylor's being asked to leave the dining hall at Hood College before the members of synod were allowed to have the blessing so they could be seated to enjoy their dinner. Much was written at that time concerning the incident itself and of the subsequent action taken by the synod bearing union it. From that time until the meeting now in session, no Negro commission or delegate to the synod was permitted to eat in the dining hall or occupy a room in any of the dormitories. So long as these conditions obtained Dr. Taylor would not attend the meetings of synod. He did not, however, abandon his attacks upon such a flagrant exhibition of the un-Christian discrimination which the synod allowed itself to appear to sanction, in order to have for its convenience and use the physical equipment and facilities that Hood College had to offer. Just as often as the officials of synod would make their periodic visitations to the Washington City Presbytery, just so often would Dr. Taylor denounce in no uncertain terms, the indefensible conditions under which this church court was being held; and his denunciations were always vigorously supported by the majority of the white members of his presbytery. The conditions that now exist within the synod of Baltimore—which includes Delaware, Maryland and the District of Columbia—insure all commissioners and delegates, fair and impartial treatment when attending sessions. The credit for the bringing about of these conditions should, of course, go most largely to the influential members of the synod who have been trying, through the years, to bring whatever pertains to this Christian body, into conformity with the principles of the Christian religion, for the propagation of which, it was brought into existence. Dr. Taylor's enjoyment of every privilege that others enjoy at Hood College, means no less than that the Presbyterian Church U.S.A., as represented by the Synod of Baltimore, has made another positive step in the right direction. GETS FISH HOOK IN EAR While on a fishing trip to the Eastern Branch, in the Northeastern section of the District. Tuesday, John Overton, 48, 2304 Ontario Road, Northwest had the odd and painful experience of having another fisherman to swing a pole, an attached fish hook piercing him in the right ear. Overton was driven to the Freedmen's Hospital, where the object was removed from his ear.

Negroes and Vitalized Politics By THE LIBERATORS Negroes fled from our Southland because of P.P. (prejudice and peonage). Therefore the pet program of the administration will achieve results in proportion to its achievement in its belief, in the cause and practices of Jesus of Nazareth. Just results for its people cannot be obtained by a government contented to keep one foot in Hell and the other pointed toward Heaven. * * * * Our Attorney General claims that he is intent upon purging our country of rackets. Then let him start with the government, which has for years been flim-flamming and practicing a confidence game on the Negro. As the war song read, "Where do we go from here?" According to the cards falling to the Negro from the New Deal, the Negro needs to decide "what's he goin' to do." The concensus of opinion is that there ain't a darn thing that the Negro can do. Fortunately that is wrong, there is much that the Negro can do and will do. Negroes have developed a composite Moses of modern men with modern ideas, who will lead them out of the Wilderness. This Moses or these men like the heathen Chinee, "are willing to die for what they believe is right and just for their people." Their intent, however, is to command Negro brains instead of ammunition. Juvenile Court Hearing for Two Youngest Scottsboro Boys NEW YORK—The nature of the hearing on June 22, before Judge Malone in the Morgan County juvenile court in connection with the fight to free Roy Wright and Eugene Williams, two of the youngest Scottboro boys, were outlined this week by Osmond K. Fraenkel, New York attorney, who recently returned from Decatur, Alabama. Fraenkel and General George W. Chamlee, chief Scottboro defense counsel, had conducted the court fight before Judge James W. Morton, which resulted in the two boys being transferred to the jurisdiction of the juvenile court—an admission that they had been illegally held during the past two years. The Williams-Wright hearing will begin before Judge Malone, immediately after. Chamlee and Fraenkel appeal before Judge Horton to argue for a new trial for Heywood Patterson, who has been sentenced to death. At least 20 grounds for setting aside the verdict will be cited by the LL.D. attorneys, including charges of prejudice, danger of mob violence to the defendants and their counsel, jury tampering, etc. Fraenkel's Statement Interviewed in his office, Fraenkel said: "At the Williams-Wright hearing before Judge Malone the prosecution, it is to be presumed, presented witnesses in an effort to prove the guilt of the boys, and to testify that they are not amenable to correction; for, under the Alabama law, if the judge finds that the defendant is delinquent and that he is incrimible, and not amenable to correction either by being put under probation or sent to an institution, then he can send the accused back to the ordinary criminal court for a trial. "The defense, of course, will present its incontrovertible proof that the boys are innocent and demand that they be freed outright." Fraenkel said that while Attorney General Knight found it impossible in the face of the facts to oppose the transfer of Roy Wright and Eugene Williams to the juvenile court, he nevertheless indicated that he would demand that they be sent back to the criminal court "because of the gravity of the offense." If Judge Malone decides adversely in the case, the defense has the "right" to appeal to Judge Horton. Just what that implies can be gathered from Horton's actions in refusing to order a mistrial in the Heywood Patterson trial in spite of the most flangent appeals to the prejudices of the jury.

Kanny Rose The patrons of the drill last week were denied a solo demonstration because the Republican, Charles Edward Mitchell, ex-envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary from the United States to Liberia, was a cripple. The traditional competitive drill in Washington among the high school cadets is really a sight to stir most any one's desire to perform. It is alleged that Mr. Cobb, as he viewed the crippled Mr. Mitchell by his side, judged that if he would a while he too would be lame and need a cane, then they could put on a duet. Maybe Mr. Cobb expects music with his act, such as: Little R. R. Horner sat in his corner. Eating his Democratic pie. He put in his thumb, and pulled out a judgeship plum. And said, "What a good Dem- We have been asked to investigate and attempt to secure opportunity for Negroes as nurses and at least petty officials in the manmouth Red Cross organization. The reason for the specific request is, that the President of the United States is the head of it, that to officials fat salaries are paid, that it has Government sanction, that it gets Government co-operation, and is general but partial in the performance of its relief and mercy. Our findings are: that it is an independent corporation, that the development of its activities verges (in our minds) toward being a high class racket, that its constitution and by-laws prohibit other than Caucasians from holding responsible official positions. Take what you get and like it. A natural reaction has set in, because of the activity on the part of Negro Democratic politicians, to open up jobs on governing staff of the Virgin Isles, for Negroes. The reaction is that natives have voiced disapproval. There is really a phase of justice in this plea; that these jobs be given to islanders, that they understand their own remote peculiarities, and that they have competent citizens to fill the respective positions. On the other hand, this column believes that such expressed disapproval will do them more ultimate harm than good. First, their total population is but 22,000, and in no way, shape, or form, in their inheritant isolation, affects the economic or political life of the mainland; in fact it has been expressed that it would be better for dear old U. S. A. if there were not a damn native in the Isles, except those necessary for use as servants; then it could be established as a play ground for Government officials and the rich. Secondly, it is an ideal outlet for new appointive positions for mainland Negro politicians, who must be satisfied, because of concrete performance in mainland National political life. Thirdly, that prejudice spits its venom on all Negroes alike, and it does not behoove or enshrine a 22,000 forgotten non-essential isolated group to attempt to besmirch the good intent of leaders of 12,000,000—who possess constructive possibilities of political human endearor. Strange but true, if Negroes are to be bossed, it is better that they be bossed by Negroes. * * * * "Blessed are the meek in spirit," "Blessed are the poor, for they shall inherit the Kingdom of Heaven." Brother, can you spare a dime? We will take our's now. * * * * The Administration is still fostering the back to the farm movement. This column goes on record as being unalterably opposed to this movement, as is. We will concede, however, to a remigration of the Negro which is not sectional, such as, a remigration of Negro farmers from industrial or urban centers, to regions within the boundaries of the respective states. As Premier-Mussolini of Italy says, "Getting workers back to the soil is the keynote of economic recovery in many countries." He continues: "Such a program will fail, however, unless those respective countries make conditions as alluring as the city." --- Fraenkel's Statement THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1933 Lincoln University The Old and the New By JOHN H. PAYNTER The shadowy haze of a late September seemed to add a fairy touch to leaf and limb of curiously spreading pines and towering oaks of Lincoln Hill, when in that far-off year of '79 I first beheld its beauty. The picture now with its numerous modern buildings and expanded campus sounds a note of material growth and progress. To be sure the pines and oaks are the same, except more regally solemn and beautiful and Ashmun and Cresson Halls, hoary relieds of those lean and hungry days, seem proudly content in their ancient form and steadily reject the "improving" changes, so prevalent and often so destructive in this period of modernizing and reform. Faculty and students alike have come and gone and of the former, there are none remaining who remind us of the past. Dr. Isaac N. Rendall, "Pap" to the boys charted and directed the course of Lincoln through the gloomy years from 1865 to 1905 and gave the full strength of his powerful mind and body, his unconquerable faith in God and the righteous cause of Negro uplift, to make possible the Lincoln of today. It was he who carried the cause of Lincoln to the world and with several of his student orators, told the Christian philanthropists of the great cities of the East of the worthfulness of the Lincoln idea and convinced them of its tragic needs. Weaver, Price, Goler and Dickerson were the men whose oratory fired the hearts and stimulated the urge to help an emerging human brotherhood and loosened the purse strings of men of influence and of wealth. A Tribute A tribute of gratitude, too, may not he denied to others of that older faculty group. Dr. Bower, who impressed one more as an old time Methodist, combined emotion with the culture of his pulpit efforts. His sermon on "The Prodigal Son" which he gave once each year, carried a strong appeal to the student body. Prof. Woodhull, in Greek "Tupto" to the boys, venerable and meditative, with long hair and full bronzed beard, reminded us of the portraits of Socrates and seemed always to live apart and in communion with the spirits of an ancient day. Prof. Gregory, who somehow we always associated with a great churchman of similar name in the Romish faith, was the obliging coach who acquainted us with the fact that "All Gaul is divided into three parts" and led our uncertain steps along the road that Cyrus trod in his wars of conquest. The freshman class was the goal and was made possible through this assistance. The Gregory Come The Gregory house, delightfully rambling in its setting of branching cedars at the end of a private driveway, is scarcely glimpsed from the main road and here is now found at home with his wife and little daughter the new professor of English in the person of Joseph Newton Hill. Professor Hill is one of four sons of the late Rev. Daniel G. Hill, all of whom as well as the father, are graduates of Lincoln. The latter noted in those early days for his engaging personality and splendid Christian character, held a warm place in the regard of President Rendall and a close and abiding friendship bound these two in the great work to which they devoted their lives. The Rev. Mr. Hill had a distinguished career in the ministry, pastoring the Metropolitan Church at Washington and purchasing the New Bethel at Baltimore; and at the time of his death was presiding elder of the Potomac District. Four Worthy Sons The story of this family from an educational point of view is quite unusual, for it is rare indeed to find in any group, four sons of a family so splendidly endowed with character, mentality and an insistent urge to scale the heights of cultural excellence. Daniel G. Jr., is a successful pastor at Portland, Oregon; Richard H. finds service as assistant to the president of Howard University and William Allyn is now studying vocal music in Berlin. It is with such talent that Lincoln is lifting herself into the esteem and prideful regard of Americans irrespective of race or creed and so on this Commencement Day, the fiftieth anniversary of this writer's graduation we stand amazed before this newer Lincoln, risen as it were, Phoenix-like from a chrysalis of conscientious effort and lofty Christian purpose—an inspiration and a challenge to student as well as tutor to realize through sacrifice and service the ideals of its founders and benefactors and so advance the work, thus far so nobly done. HUSBAND CUTS WIFE WITH KNIFE IN TILT Six stitches had to be taken in the back and the right hand of Mrs. Edna Neel, 21, of 2914 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, Sunday, after her husband is said to have whittled on her with a knife during an argument. Mrs. Neel was treated at Freedman's Hospital. FALLS THROUGH FLOOR Laurence Cook, 41, 806 M Street, Northwest, fell through a floor in a government building at Ninth and Pennsylvania Avenue, Monday. The injured man walked to Fresman's Hospital, where he was found to be suffering contusions of the left knee, a sprained left ankle, and bruises of the left leg. Gets Master's Degree ANP Dr. RUSSELL A. DIXON, dean of the College of Dentistry of Howard University, who has just been awarded the degree of Master of Dental Science by North- western University. This is the first time a Negro has been granted an advanced degree for graduate experimental work in dentistry. CHICAGO WORLD'S FAIR BEGINS AUSPICOUSLY (South Center Service Bureau of Information) Chicago—The World's Fair—A Century of Progress opened with a bang. An average of 50,000 people attended daily. The general gate admission is fifty cents which admits to all the exhibit buildings. Concessionists have cafe, drinking dispensaries and places of general amusement that one pays to go in. J. D. Carr, representative of the fair, was the principal speaker at St. James A.M.E. Church, 93rd and Lafayette Avenue, dedicatory service last Thursday evening at 8:30 o'clock. He chose as his subject "Visit the World's Fair." He warned his audience to turn a deaf ear to the propaganda that's being circulated concerning discrimination at the fair by individuals who forced themselves to the front with empty pockets and sympathetic "give me something for nothing," which did not clink with concessionists. "The white man is no longer interested in an Uncle Tom, hand-in-hand beggar where business is concerned," he said, "but one can get consideration by going to him with cold business methods. Those were the qualifications lacking by thos who assumed leadership in paving the way for Afro-Americans at A Century of Progress. "If men and women like Attorney Patsick B. Prescott, Jr., Bishop W. J. Walls, Mrs. George Hall, Mrs. Lula Lawson and the Rev. A. Wayman Ward had taken an interest in the fair in its infancy to any extent and had they acquainted themselves with the president and the concessionists and found out just what were the condition for Negroes to participate and then presented their findings to the Negro groups they would have gotten co-operation and results." "A lot is being said about employment at A Century of Progress. Every concessionist has exclusive charge over his employment, consequently, if an Italian buys a concession he is going to give an Italian the first preference. That applies to every nationality, who has bought concessions at the fair. There are colored folk who are holding important positions at the fair but they were employed by Rufus Dawes, the president, or his staff. "The Jean Baptiste Point de Saible Cabin is really the only representation the Negro has at the fair grounds. If it had been left to the Negro he wouldn't have had that. The fair authorities gave them the sit, and the city gave $1,500 to build it." Carr made a militant appeal to his audience to visit the fair. He is one of the 152 speakers of the fair's speaker' bureau and carries with him colored slides of the fair buildings, grounds and lake, to illustrate his lectures. WELFARE SEEKER DIES AFTER AUTO HITS HIM William Tillette, 22, 119 Fairview Avenue, Brentwood, Md., died in Providence Hospital, early Friday, of a skull fracture suffered when he was struck by an auto near Hyattsville. Tuesday. Tille t was walking along the road en route from the County Welfare Board's office in Hyattsville, to the reforestation recruiting office in Washington when struck. He was brought to the hospital by the Prince Georges county rescue squad. Tillette was buried from the Beulah Baptist Church, Monday. He was the son of Joseph B. and Mrs. Hattie Tillette, brother of Malcom, Jennie, and May Tillette, and Mrs. Sadie Clark. AUTOS STRIKE TWO MEN AT SAME INTERSECTION The intersection of Thirteenth and U Streets, Northwest, proved to be an unlucky spot for two persons. Saturday, when they were knocked down by automobiles at that point. William A. Young, 56, of 1719 Eleventh Street, Northwest, a messenger in the U. S. Naval Department, was struck early in the afternoon by a taxicab driven by Leroy Wilkerson. Young received lacerations over the left temple. The second person struck at the corner was Grafton Brown, 31, of 1813 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, who suffered cuts about the forehead.

JOHN BROWN'S LIFE DEPICTED IN NEW PLAY IN LONDON "Gallows Glorious" Shows Our Martyr as a Hero LONDON, Eng. (CNS)—"Gallows Glorious," a new dramatic presentation by Ronald Gow, which is concerned with the life of John Brown, the American martyr whose soul goes marching on, recently had a single performance at the Arts Theatre, by the Croydon Repertory Company. To Mr. Gow, John Brown is plainly a hero. In this play the dramatic movement is exceptionally swift and clear. John Brown in his home among his family, who are as free from doubt and self-criticism as he is himself; John Brown preparing for his raid on Harpers Ferry, knowing that he and his supporters are going to their deaths and caring nothing so long as their defeat stirs public opinion; John Brown a prisoner, stubborn and inwardly triumphant—he is always the same man drawn crudely, perhaps, but vigorously, fluently, without hesitation. And what is true of him is true of the other persons of the drama—his wife, his sons, his daughter, Charles Morgan, a dramatic Charles Morgan, a dramatic critic, writes of the play: A Criticism "I find it hard to believe that any family was so united, so free of every shadow of selfishness or misgiving; Mr. Gow suggests a complete surrender of their lives to their father's fanaticism. But their unity makes for plainness in story-telling. "The whole play has something in common with an advance story for boys—the narrative is so self-confident, so blandly straightforward, so arbitrary in its separation of the sheep from the goats; and the Croydon Repertory Company, which gave a single performance of it at the Arts Theatre, could not save it from giving an impression of too trustful a hero-worship. "But if we are prepared to believe that the Browns never swerved, never doubted and seldom thought of anything but anti-slavery, we must give Mr. Gow credit for having treated his heroic theme with dignity and for having written many a passage that is moving because it is so happily free from modern shyness in the face of gallant individualism. It is at any rate better to err on the side of hero-worship than to sneer at John Brown for no wiser reason than that he was brave and knew his own mind." HOWARD GRADUATES (Continued from page 1) ogetic, a bit ashamed of our mechanical advance. Yet it is our great gift to world society. "These tools," continued the speaker, "have transformed the world to the end that any real lack of food, clothing, and shelter, and the necessities of life, result from n. lack of abundance, but because of repudiation of the control of nature which science and mechanics have given us. Not the Ends of Life "These marvelous physical tools have been made possible because of intellectual tools, the most spectacular among which is science. By use of science, the west has segarched out the cause of many of man's bodily diseases, has found specific remedies for hundreds of them, and developed means of prevention of many of the great contagions. Life expectancy has been lengthened in the west by nearly two decades, and with modern communication, the west has made all the world its neighbors. "As important as these mechanical and intellectual tools are," Mr Embree continued, "they are not the ends of life, but simply a means toward fuller living, and while they represent a distinct contribution to society, other peoples have developed other phases of life much further and more full than we." Life in the East Mr. Embree stated: "The average peasant in the east and south has a much fuller realization of joyous creation than the average worker in Europe or North America. Life is clearly understood by the simplest farmer and villager, to be something to be achieved in a remote future, but something to be expressed every day. Beauty and greatness are ends in themselves in the east, to a degree almost incomparable in Europe and America. "In the Orient the arrangement of flowers is considered so important as to require an education as long and arduous as that we give to science or mathematicis. To Aid America "The courtesties due one's fellows are elaborate throughout the east to such a degree that a breach of etiquette is regarded there with the same horror that we look upon a breach of contract." Mr. Embree said. In a special admonition to members of the graduating class, he reminded them of their biological ancestry and their rich heritage of eastern culture, which they should view with increasing pride; that they acquaint themselves with the special glories of Africa and the east, capitalizing their differences from the strictly western pattern. The speaker concluded with the statement: "By reason of your eastern heritage, in return for the gift of mechanical and intellectual tools of the west, the graduates of Howard University will help America to use these tools, not as ends in themselves, but as means toward enjoyments and satisfaction which make life so human as to be almost divine." One Honorary Degree The honorary degree of doctor of laws was conferred upon Oswald Garrison Villard, of New York City, for man years editor of the Nation and prominent in the N.A.A.C.P. In awarding the degree, President Mordecai W. Johnson paid tribute to Mr. Villard's advocacy of just and helpful treatment to men and women whatever their race, lineage, politics, or opinion. Musical selections were furnished by the university orchestra under the direction of Louis Vaughn Jones, and by the Musical Arts Society. Invocation was offered by the Rev. Edward O. Clark, Chevy Chase Baptist Church, Washington, and benediction by the Rev. William O. Carrington, John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, Washington.

Everett Payne, of the same school, was second with a score of 65. Miller Dixon, of Cardozo, with a 66 score, was third. White, captain of Dunbar's golf team, and Henry Rucker, No. 3 player of Cardozo, were unable to enter because of their late arrival. Invitations had been sent to teams representing Bates High School, Annapolis, Md., and Douglass High School, Baltimore, Md., but they did not compete. Armstrong won the team championship with a score of 259. Dunbar was second with 283. Cardozo players could only seek to win the individual championship because they did not have enough players to compete in the team matches. A team consists of four players representing each school, and Cardozo had only two. The scores were as follows: Joseph Hager, Armstrong..... 60 Everett Payne, Armstrong..... 65 Miller Dixon, Cardozo..... 66 Paul Woodward, Armstrong..... 68 John Cupid, Armstrong..... 70 Millard Williams, Armstrong..... 74 Warner Boswell, Dunbar..... 70 Washington Hamilton, Dunbar..... 74 James Johnson, Dunbar..... 74 David Spells, Cardozo..... 79 Metcalfe and Ward to Defend Track Laurels CHICAGO, Ill.-Ralph Metcalfe, Marquette University sprint marrel, is certain to successfully defend his National Collegiate Athletic Association laurels at Soldier Field, Saturday. Metcalfe won both the 100 and 200 yard dashes a year ago, and more than ever appears to be the best spinner in the country, if not in the world. The other two defending champions, Willis Ward, Michigan's all-around star, in the high jump and Irving Seeley, of Illinois, in the pole vault, are up against stiff battles to repeat. Ward faces Bob Van Osdel, of Southern California; Duncan McNaughton, another Trojan, who won the event in the Olympic games; L. G. Richey, of Alabama Poly, Howard Spencer of Geneva, and a number of others. Metcalfe was recently elected captain of Marquette track team.

ROBINSON SCORES HOLE-IN-ONE ON LOCAL COURSE Dick Robinson, playing in a foursome composed of Maurice Gates, Cleveland Jordan, and William Miller, scored a hole-in-one on the 134-yard second hole on the Lincoln Memorial Golf Course, Monday afternoon. The shot was played with a No. 6 iron to the green which took a backspin and rolled straight into the cup. The record for the course is 26, and he lost his chance to equal it when he took a disastrous five on the seventh. His score for the nine was 414, 333, 353-29. Gates, with whom Robinson was playing for a small wager, was defeated by a score of one up, having a score of 533, 433, 442-31. Robinson is a veteran at the game, but despite his excellent game he has never crashed through in big time, partly due to his temperament.

By FLASH ROBESON The Hillsdales, pride of LeDroit Park, defeated the Rajahs twice Sunday, on the diamond at Sixty-first and Clay Streets, by the scores of 21-11 and 6-3. The first game was a record breaker in the amount of hits, a total of forty-one hits being made, the losers garnering twenty-one off the offerings of Smoke Levi, and the winners rung up the grand sum of twenty from the combined labors of Green, Addison and Vick. Smoke Levi coasted along and tightened up when the Rajahs became too threatening. Ernest (Speed) Johnson, in his new role of manager, played a fine brand of ball in the twin offering. Johnny (Reds) Haywood was the batting star of the double bill, getting six hits out of nine trips to the plate, a triple, double and single in the first, and two doubles and a single in the night-cap. Geechie Williams and Doofy Jones turned in the feature fielding plays of the day, while the former got a third double in the opener and one in the finale. Runt White at First Percy (Runt) White, just back from Wilberforce, played second base in both contests and looked good at his old position. Sap Bush caught both games and gave a remarkable exhibition in torrid heat Jimmy Hughes in his second appearance in the 'Dales' lineup, in the night-cap pitched a sensational game, allowing only four hits. The hitting of Nixon, O. Barber, Scott, G. Johnson, and Hyson featured from the Rajahs' side of the first contest, with the latter leading with two doubles and two singles out of four trips to the plate. Dave Stroman pitched a sensational game in the night cap, holding the 'Dales scoreless up to the fifth inning, when they made two runs. Jimmy Hughes's only hit of the game scored Sap Bush with the winning run in the sixth, to clinch the victory the 'Dales slugged across three extra markers. The Rajahs made one lone tally in half of the sixth. The game was called when Geechie Williams almost broke Gene Addison's arm to start the seventh. DePriest Win Two The DePriest A.C. swamped the Washington Giants in the opening game of their twin bill by the score of 21 to 6, and overcame a twelve-run lead to win the night cap, 17 to 16. The batting of Woods, Green and Johnson and the fielding of Wheeler and Diggs featured the opener for the DePriest men, while the home run of Roger Blair was the only bright spot in the play of the Giants. Wheeler shone both afield and at the bat in the night cap, getting a home run, triple and four singles for a perfect day. Morris, of the Giants, got a home run. N. Barnes pitched great ball after relieving Mavorite in the fifth inning, striking out nine Giants. The LeDroit Tigers set back the Virginia White Sox farther by taking both ends of their twin bill by the scores of 10-3 and 4-1. The play of Lenoir, the collegian short-stop of the Tigers, featured the Tigers' play afield, while the pitching of Hank Williams and Emkie Jeffries were above the average. Yellow Payne and Fauntroy led with the willow, while C. Smith and Keystone Davis both got homers. The play of T. Moore and Foreman afield featured the Sox play. J. Moore and Bailey were the batting stars. Lanham caught both games and put up a creditable showing. Crawley, of the Tigers, thrilled the fans with a sensational play at second base in the opener.

His career began as a teacher in the elementary schools of Washington, when he assumed the duties of coach of basketball, baseball and track at the Birchwood School, and one officer, the old P.S. AILF (Public School Athletic League). He has coached baseball at Armstrong for ten years, in which time his school has lost the baseball championship through actual participation but once—last season. In 1850, after sweeping the series against the Philadelphia Tech players was declared ineligible and the series was forfeited. --- The first Dunbar-Armstrong game staged on the 12th of May, 1930, will go down as the most unusual from many standpoints. Among the strange matters were (1) the Armstrong infield made 13 errors, most being of the costly sort; (2) Dunbar made but five hits and yet got 11 runs; (3) the two teams used 30 players between them; (4) the unexpected kept occurring when least expected; (5) an almost impossible line throw from deep left field ended a game which had sent everyone in the enclosure into a nervous frenzy. Hank Williams for Tech and Hand for Dunbar for the starting pitchers, and though Hand was wild and hit freely, his supporting cast was functioning smoothly. Williams on the other hand was receiving wretched support from his infield, but the Armstrong bats had given him a commanding lead, 8-3, at the end of the fourth. Tech was blanked in her half of the fifth, but Dunbar scored three runs in the last half. The first Poet batter hit and the Tech infield again grew ultra-generous and four successive errors on the next four plays scored him and three others, making the score 8-7, Tech. Two more tallies came to Tech in the sixth and Dunbar got one more back in her session, sending the Armstrong crew to be blanked in her part of the seventh, her last stand but with a lead, 10-8. But there was plenty "fun" to follow in Dunbar's supposed last stand. Confusion Aplenty Harold Henderson, a speed ball pitcher, was sent in to relieve the fast tiring Williams for Armstrong and on his first pitch. Pine Armstrong put the batter on second with a wild throw. Two successive walks packed the aisles and Goodlee, brought in from right and stationed at second, committed a fumble, and during a series of wild throws two runners had scored and one was caught trying for an extra base. Was the crowd yelling? Henderson was disturbed when he felt the ump was missing them on the corners, and sent another batter to first on balls. The score was 10-10 and two on with only one out. Out came Henderson and in the box went the under-sized Timothy Paulin, who forced Blount to pop up to second. But Green, the Dunbar shortstop, looked formidable and he had been on the bases four times—once after a three-bagger, twice on errors, and once by a walk. So the shrewd midget of the mound purposely sent him to first with four wide ones. Again the bases were filled with Dunbar needing one run to win. Kiser, the next batter after working Paulin to a 3 and 2 count, popped to Dale and an extra inning was needed to end things. Tech's Stanza Goodloe started Tech's stanza with a hit and Tate worked Jones, now pitching for Dunbar, for a At 61st and Clay Sts., N.E. First game: R. H. E. Hillsdales 21 20 5 Rajahs 11 21 7 M.

Jackson's single scored Goodloe. Dale walked and the bases were filled. It appeared as if everybody did not care what he was shouting for just so he made noise. Wormly hit an easy bounce to Pitcher Jones for a made-to-order double play. Lloyd took the throw at the plate and instead of throwing to first, cut loose to third, which was uncovered, and all runners scurried around the bases. Crichlow coming in fast from left picked up the ball and heaved it over the backstop and almost all the way to New Jersey Avenue. And the score was now 13-10, Armstrong, as the next two batters rolled out. But the thrills were not yet over White. first Dunbarite up, hit safely. Then Paulin rose to the occasion and fanned Crichlow and Pinchhitting Fearing. Paulin started for the showers, thinking the game was over, when Jones rolled weakly to the Tech first baseman, who had but to step on first... but you may guess what he did not do. He threw to second, but too late, putting two on. Another Bungle The next batter offered our illustrious first baseman another chance to retire the side by popping up weakly—but the baseman's hands closed after the ball jumped out. Something was bound to happen now, for the bases were again filled, with runners rounding third and second, respectively. The first baseman, however, made a good throw to the plate. When the runner. White, darted back to third, Catcher Johnson's high throw went down the third base line. Gray, in left, had been drawn in, so I marked two scores in advance for Dunbar, as the ball passed him, but an unusual thing happened. White, of course, scored, and Jones rounded third as Gray had caught up with the sphere on the foul line. Without taking time to balance, Gray cut loose with a superhuman throw which traveled on a dead line and landed in Jackson's mit a good two yards ahead of the runner, who was tagged out, ending the game, 13-11, Armstrong, as the crowd roared. Armstrong won the next game, 13-5, from Dunbar, and triumphed over Cardozeo, 17-7 and 12-1. Yet after the championship was apparently decided an Armstrong player was ruled ineligible and the entire sets were forfeited, giving Dunbar the championship. In an early issue, Mr. Adams will describe the first of two games lost to Dunbar that gave Dunbar the 1932 championship after Armstrong had beaten her, 8-5 and 16-3. TECH TEAM GUEST OF CLARK GRIFFITH The championship Armstrong High School baseball team was the guest of Clark Griffith at the American League Park. Tuesday, when the Nationals played the Athletics. The boys, who were accompanied by Coach Cato W. Adams, were seated in a box near first base. The captains of the Dunbar and Cardozo teams were the guests of the Armstrong team at the game. Coach Adams took 23 members of his squad besides the captains of the two other schools. Boy patrols of the public schools were also guests at the park. Wednesday. Hundreds of patrols, colored and white, were admitted to the game free. Armstrong was recently presented a silver trophy by Mr. Griffith for having won the District championship.

The fast Anacostia A.C. nine won its eighth and ninth games in ten starts. Sunday, by defeating the Oriental Tigers in a doubleheader by the scores of 8 to 7 and 14 to 2. Ossie Stewart, who hurled the opening game for the winners, pitched masterly, although errors by his team mates put him in a hole at one time. He allowed the Tigers seven hits, fanned eight, and he led his team in stick work by making three safeties in four times at the bat. The night cap was a walk-away for the Southeast crew. Art Beverly held the opposition at bay during the entire contest. Hemitted five hits, one a homer by Harry Brooks. Smoky Green, the A's receiver, slammed a triple to deep left with the bases full, but he went out trying to stretch the hit into a homer. This Sunday the A's will lock horns with the Aztecs in a twin bill at Anacostia. The team has recently added to its roster Pete Tate and Clink Moten, who have just completed a successful season in high school baseball. FRANCIS POOL OPENS Right at the crest of the heat wave.

Mr. Anderson.—Edi- tor. This theatrical spotlight” this week is filled to the brim with glowing talent, and praiseworthy entertainment, with both stage houses, Howard and Lincoln, striv- ‘ing to outdo each other in A-1 pre- sentations. “This is neither the time nor the place toact as. judge, so you ean your own choosing, but let me tell you that the U Street house thise week has the best stage show it has offered since it opened its new policy. A, E. Lichtman has outdone himself this time, for the has put the best balanced bill seen here in many moons on his stage this week. and all who miss it will miss much pleasure. Don’t think, however, that the Howard has a trifling’ show, for it has another bang-up bill, what with a mixed cast offering both sepias and pales, and with the No. 1 Stiefel chorus gracing the stage, their program ranks with any other which can be had here. What They're Doing” It js very evident that both man- agements are putting forth every effort to give their patrons the very best entertainment, and are doing it successfully, believe me, ‘and to the detriment of - »ither. Before going into criticisms, let's get on the inside of a few theatri- cal facts: Gallie De Gaston who worked the Howar| last. week, is resting up here this week.

TAKES UP CASE FOR LIBERIA NEW YORK—President Roosevelt was asked this week to have the State Department and the American government "desist from protecting private financial interests against the wishes of the Liberian government" in the matter of the loan to the Negro government by the Firestone Company of the United States. The telegram to the President was signed by Walter White, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and said in part: "National Association for Advancement of Colored People has received report from Europe that our State Department is backing demand of Firestone Rubber Company that chief adviser for Liberia under League of Nations plan should be American. Liberian government, on other hand, is making entirely reasonable demand that general adviser shall not be nationality concessionaire. This association urges statement by yourself or State Department repudiating impression that American government is upholding Firestone interests in Liberia." The N.A.A.C.P. also canbled Lord Cecil and General Winship in London upholding the Liberian demand that the adviser not be American, but Dutch or Scandinavian and cabled L. N. Grimes, Liberian representative in London, of the association's position. Francis Steele Graduates from Rensselaer Francis Warren Steele, graduate of the Dunbar High School of this city in class of June, 1929, has completed a course in civil engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institution, Troy, N.Y., and will graduate on June 17. The institute is one of the oldest schools of engineering in the country and has an international character in that a large proportion of its students come there to study from abroad. But four other colored students have ever graduated from there. In his second year he was admitted to the American Society of Civil Engineers. This year he was elected to Sigma Xi, an honorary society of scientists and technicians, due to exceptional scholastic attainment. "The Transit," year book of the school, has this to say of him: "He never lets the Profs bother him, but learning just shows all over him. Not that he tries to impress one, but it's there and you know it." Mr. Steele may return to Rensselaer for his master's degree next school year. He plans to work abroad instead of in America. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Steele, of 2217 Second Street, Northwest. Juvenile Court Worker to Attend Institute Mrs. Ida S. Taylor, juvenile court worker, under the auspices of the Federated Parent-Teacher Association, will attend the National Recreational Institute at Atlanta, Ga., from June 26 to July 29.

Marshall, the pastor, delivered the sermon. The exalted ruler, Capt. Sylvester H. Epps, and his cabinet were present. The one night cabinet given by the boys' club of Columbia Temple and Columbia Lodge was a great success last Wednesday night at the home, 301 Rhode Island Avenue. The marching clubs had to cancel their trip to Rockville, Md., Decoration Day to attend the field day which was given by the lodge of Rockville, due to the heavy rain. Ottle Williams who was operated on Friday at Garfield Hospital, is reported in satisfactory condition. The summer band concerts on the lawn at the home are scheduled to begin the first Sunday in July. The chairman of the committee, J. H. Winkler, reports that on this occasion his band will be assisted by Morning Star's band and the American Legion drum and fife corn. Wm. Mitchell died last Wednesday. The funeral was held at Metropolitan Baptist Church Saturday. Although not around the home, very often, he had been a member of the lodge for over 25 years.

NEGROES PROTEST TOM MOONEY SENTENCE Mass Meeting Prepares and Sends Protest to California Governor The Tom Mooney meeting of the local Scottsboro Action Committee, held Sunday at John Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, attracted a large crowd, considering the heat that prevailed. A telegram asking for the release of Mooney was sent to Governor Ralph, of California. Frank Spectator, assistant secretary of the International Labor Defense, was the principal speaker. He reviewed the Mooney case, which grew out of an explosion which took place on July 22, 1916, in San Francisco, California. Nine persons were killed and several wounded. Mooney, a labor leader, and Frank Billings, and three others were arrested. He told how Mooney and Billings were framed by two witnesses who later proved to be in a distant section of the city, one more than 90 miles away when the explosion occurred. However, Billings was tried and convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment. Mooney was tried on one charge, convicted and sentenced to die. Russia protested the sentence, and President Wilson asked for commutation. The sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. The sneaker stated that on April 24 of this year, Mooney was arraigned on another charge of murder, resulting from the explosion, and the district attorney had no evidence against him, so there was no trial. However, he is serving his first sentence, and now the case is to come to the supreme court here in Washington, since the supreme court of California failed to recognize the new evidence of Mooney's innocence. Berger Speaks Louis Berger, who was arrested for riding in the jim crow section of a Maryland electric train, spoke against the inequality of the jim crow law and said that he was willing to accept a jail sentence for the cause of right. He and Spector expressed the opinion that this meeting was historical for it is the beginning of a better understanding between Negroes and whites. Mr. Spector stated that Negro and white workers must form an alliance, for their interests are alike. The Mooney case, said he, has definite social and economic bearings on our American life, like that of the Scottsboro boys. The speaker referred to the debate in the Senate, Saturday, over the treatment of Jews in Germany, and said that Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, should look after his own country in general and his state in particular before saying anything about Hitler. He said that Robinson's state of Arkansas, in its treatment and debauchery of the Negro, would make Hitler look like a piker. Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion Church, made a brief speech in which he denounced the professed Christianity of white Americans and labeled them hypocrites. He spoke in highest praise of the young Negroes and the two young white men uniting in a common cause—mentioning especially George B. Murphy, chairman of the local Scottsboro Action Committee; Charles Houston, vice dean of the Howard Law School; and B. V. Lawson, Howard graduate, who presided at the meeting. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 16, 1933 D.C. Man, Woman Hurt in Virginia Accident Roscoe Toliver, 25, of 1638 Eucid Street, Northwest, and Miss Evelyn Stuart, also of this city, were seriously injured when an auto in which they were riding was in collision with a truck operated by James Sorrell, of Haymarket, Fairfax County, Va., Sunday. Both victims were brought to Emergency Hospital, where Toliver was treated for shock and a compound fracture of the left arm and transferred to Gallinger Hospital. Miss Stuart was treated for numerous body bruises. PHILLIP BRISCOE IS GIVEN THREE-YEAR SAFETY AWARD Eight Other Negro Drivers Receive Honors from Safety Council Phillip W. Briscoe, who has driven a Star truck for three years without an accident, is the first colored driver to receive a three-year No Accident Driver's Award of the National Safety Council. Briscoe, along with 34 other drivers, of which none were colored, was awarded last Friday by the Council. There has been only 38 of these three-year awards issued for the entire country. Seven white drivers were given the three-year honor last week. The nine colored drivers have a total mileage of 200,000 miles. Roy Gray, William T. Roache and Charless Prentiss were given the two-year awards, while Henry C. West, John P. Adams, Cornelius Young, Raymond Bowie, and Joseph Diggs were given one-year awards. Briscoe had a total mileage of 15,000 miles, while Gray had 47,000 for the two years, and Roach 45,000 for the same period. The presentations were made by Frank B. Noyes, president of the Evening Star Newspaper Company. Children's Health Camp Opens Next Week A little village of brown canvass tent cottages with well-screened doors and wide windows has again been set up during the past week close to the shady grove of giant oaks on the hilltop at Fourteenth and Upshur Streets, Northwest, in anticipation of the opening of the Children's Health Camp of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. A crew of workmen has been on the job and expect to have the camp in good shape by the end of this week, well in advance of the opening date, which is Friday, June 23, according to the statement given out yesterday by Dr. William Charles White, president of the association. Dr. White said it is aimed to have the camp by that date fully equipped and in charge of a competent staff of health workers under the direction of a trained nurse and ready to receive its maximum quota of boys and girls needing special care and outdoor living during the summer months in order to prevent the development of tuberculous infection. Already the list of such children applying for admission to the camp is far in excess of the maximum capacity. Those most in need of the care will be selected. It is hoped that by another year a larger camp for such children will be made available. This summer health camp for little children in their fight against 18,000 miles; John P.

Court Grants Luncheonette Permission to Use Entire First Floor of Temple A petition of the receivers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company to lease the entire first floor of the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, to Louis Hurwitz, proprietor of the Temple Luncheonette and Drug Company, was granted by Justice James Proctor, Wednesday morning. Justice Proctor instructed the receivers to negotiate a lease subject to the approval of the court. Henry Lincoln Johnson, attorney, represented the Temple Luncheonette. The company occupies at present nearly half of the first floor. A large section of the same floor was occupied by the Club Prudhom and another section is now occupied by a coffin company. The National Benefit Life Insurance Company had its uptown office in a store front facing U Street, but this office has been moved into a building in the 1300 block of U Street.

A strongly worded plea that Virginia Baptists unite into one strong central organization was voiced last week at the Wednesday session of the 67th annual gathering of the convention by Dr. C. P. Madison, Norfolk, at the conclusion of his presidential address. The convention closed last Friday. Substitute Plan Any chance for immediate merger of the two factions was dissipated Thursday afternoon when the committee on the president's address, to which Dr. Madison's proposal had been referred offered a substitute recommendation which effectively spiked the trend toward early unification. Reason for Delay The General Association is meeting in Richmond, June 13-16. Inquiry among those opposing the merging of the two bodies revealed that the chief specific objection to wiping out factional lines is the fear that in the merged organization the General Association, which supports Virginia Union University, may dominate and abolish Virginia Seminary and College, which the State Convention supports. Several years ago a movement to unify the Baptist forces and merge the two educational institutions met a similar fate for the same reason. Seminary supporters do not want the Lynchburg school to lose its identity or be relegated to a minor place in the educational realm. Third Convention Rumored It was hinted in reliable sources during the convention that as a result of the repudiation of the unification proposal, a third state Baptist convention, tentatively called the United Colored Baptist Convention of Virginia, may be organized. It is the thought of those suggesting this step that the membership of the new body be composed of those churches in the two present parent bodies who are anxious to work unitedly. NEWARK CHURCH ASKS REMOVAL OF BISHOP HEARD Petition Declares Him to be Incapable and Unfit; Mob Scenes Recalled Codes Committee Approves Bill Aimed at Ohio State University COLUMBUS, O. — The codes committee of the Ohio legislature has approved the bill of Representative Chester Gillespie which would prohibit the trustees of Ohio State University from making any rules discriminating between students of the university on the basis of race, color or creed. Messrs. Claybony George, and Charles W. White, of Cleveland, appeared before the committee last week. The bill is the outgrowth of the Doris Weaver case in which the university refused Miss Weaver residence under same conditions as white girls in a practice cottage in a home economics course.

(CNS)—A petition headed "An Appeal for Relief" and urging the removal of the Rt. Rev. William H. Heard, bishop of the first Episcopal district of the A.M.E. Church has been sent to the Bishops' Council by a committee of the St. James A.M.E. Church of this city. The petition declares that Bishop Heard, 83 years of age, is "incapable of administering the affairs of the church in a manner compatible with the dignity of same nor to the best interests of the church," and then goes to itemize other "irregularities" which in the opinion of St. James Church render him unfit to further administer the affairs of the first district. Speci l emphasis is placed on the mob scenes and physical combats which have resulted from the majority of conferences held by the bishop this year. One of the most violent of these mob scenes was enacted in Bethel Church, New York City, on May 28, when the official narrowly escaped serious injury from an infuriated congregation when he transferred the Rev. Edward A. Clark, Bethel pastor, to the New England Conference. The petition states that "a continuance of Bishop Heard's administration will be disastrous for the entire district which includes the New York, New Jersey, Philadelphia, New England, and Delaware conferences, and St. James Church in particular. A long list of "irregularities" charges against the bishop are set forth in detail, and prompt action is requested." Young men today consider they are "hike" at a point where their fathers would have thought themselves rich. Organization nge ng!
