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-

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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! The situation comes from the president of Howard University?

MISS MERRIT HONORED
have engaged her services as teacher and lecturer are Dover State College, Dover, Delaware; Howard University, Washington; Cheyney Institute, Cheyney, Pa.; Manassas Industrial School, Manassas, Va.; Baltimore Normal School, Baltimore, Md.; West Virginia State College, Institute, W.Va.; and Dallas Institute, Dallas, Texas.
Along with her professional activities Miss Merritt has gained recognition as a civic leader. She organized and directed for many years the Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association and the Prudence Crandall Association. She was president of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P., member of the executive board of the South West Social Settlement House, and chairman of the committee on finance, Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.
Conducted Successful Campaign
She began her service in the N.A.A.C.P. on May 3, 1919, when at a special meeting she was elected to the executive committee to fill the unexpired term of Miss Charlotte Hunter, who had resigned.
Eleven years later she was elected by unanimous vote to the position of branch president, again to fill an unexpired term, this time it was that of the late Neval Thomas. It was a short time after her election to the executive committee that she was a leading figure in the branch's most successful membership campaign. During that campaign the membership reached its high mark of 10,000.
She was president of the branch for three years. On the day of her death she sent for the secretary, A. S. Pinkett, and gave him a $10 membership sent her by a white person.
Held Many Offices
Mr. Pinkett represented the N.A.A.C.P. at the funeral, while other representatives were as follows.
M. Grant Lucas, Columbia Educational Association; Garnet C.Wilkinson, public schools; Miss Hope Lyon, Teachers' Benefit and Annuity Association; Charles Edward-Russell, Interracial Commission; and Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A.
Miss Merritt was an officer in all of these organizations and had rendered signal service in promoting welfare work in Southwest Washington. Burial was at Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
Elbert Hubbard once said: "The things we value the most are the things we have given away."
KOGER OUSTED AS GENERAL ALUMNI H. U. SECRETARY
George A. Parker Elected President at Annual Meeting Here
In a meeting punctuated by several verbal clashes Linwood G. Koger, of Baltimore, was ousted as secretary of the General Alumni Association of Howard University at the annual meeting of the association here last Thursday and Friday.
Mr. Koger was advised to resign by friends, but refused. He was ousted by the association voting to declare the office of the general alumni secretary vacant. His report showed that he had raised only 150 from alumni during the year. He blamed the poor showing on the general depression and the scarcity of money in the various communities.
Parker President
Mr. Koger asked that the association go on record favoring the university's underwriting the general alumni secretary's salary as this was done in many of the larger institutions. He said he was forced to return to his law practice in Baltimore when he found that funds would not be available to conduct his office. The matter was referred to the executive committee. George A. Parker, of Washington, was elected president. He succeeds Dr. Sherwood Cattlett, of New Jersey, in this office. Other officers elected were; Dr. A. Maurice Curtis, of New Jersey, vice-president; Mrs. Ethel Harris Grubbs, Washington, secretary; and Dr. J. B. Stubbs, Wilmington, treasurer.
Took Records
It was found this week that Mr. Koger had the records of the office of general secretary and Mr. Parker and local members of the executive committee are seeking the return of these documents. Two resolutions were offered and referred to the executive committee. The first resented the attitude of Dr. Abram Flexner, trustee chairman, who wrote a so-called insulting letter to young women students of the university when they asked for the retention of Dr Dorothy Boulding Ferebee, university physician to women.
To Call Meeting
The second which was passed was to call an executive committee meeting within thirty days to consider the Flexner controversy. Mr. Parker stated that he would call a committee meeting within the time limit.
Four amendments to the constitution were proposed as follows:
1. To abolish the representative form of government which now prevails—each Howard club is entitled to representation in the General Alumni on the basis of one representative to every 10 members. The amendment will permit each member of a Howard club to freely take part in General Alumni meetings.
Reduce Annual Fee

MISS MERRITT'S WILL FILED DAY AFTER FUNERAL
MISS MERRITT'S WILL FILED DAY AFTER FUNERAL
Document Drawn Month Before Death Has No Inventory
On the day following her burial, Tuesday, the last will and testament of Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, retired supervising school principal and president of the local branch N.A.A.C.P. disposing of her real and personal property, was admitted to probate. She died exactly one month after the instrument was witnessed on May 6. Three nieces and a nephew were favored in the five-page, type-written document which created two possible trust funds and designated how seven pieces of property should be distributed.
Sisters Not Beneficiaries
Although Miss Merritt has two surviving sisters, they were not enumerated as beneficiaries under the terms of the will, although mentioned in it. In regards to the two sisters, Miss Merritt's will stated in part; 'I am not unmindful of my faithful and devoted sisters, Georgiana C. Jordan, and my loyal sister, Gertrude L. Payne. In appreciation of their loving consideration of me, I have tried to bestow some favors upon their children and grandchildren during my life time." Neither the Y.W.C.A., of which Miss Merritt was a member of the board of directors, or the Lincoln Temple Congregational Church, her place of worship, were mentioned as beneficiaries.
No Inventory Filed
No inventory was filed with the will nor was any indication of her possessions given. The first stipulations of the document were that funeral expenses be paid from funds deposited in the National Savings and Trust Company, and the residue be given to a niece, Gertrude Edwina Merritt Calac, who has been my faithful and loyal companion during her life time." Moneyys deposited in the Oriental Building Association were bequeathed to another niece, Frances Geraldine Howard. Five lots in Wildwood, N.J., were also willed to Mrs. Howard.
Nicee Gets Home
Miss Merritt's home at 1630
Tenth Street, Northwest, and all
its furnishings, under the provisions
of the will, go to Mrs. Calac
during her life, as long as she continues to maintain the said property as her home. At the death of Mrs. Calac, provided it does not occur before the 25th birthday of her daughter, Allica Medena Calac, the property is willed to Mrs. Calac and her heirs forever.
In the event Mrs. Calac discontinues to reside in, or maintain, the home, or in the event Mrs. Calac dies before her daughter becomes 25, the property goes to the executors, or their survivors, to be held in trust.
Provides Trust Fund
The terms of the trust are that the premises shall be rented and after payment of taxes and upkeep costs, the residue is to be used for the maintenance and education of Alicia until she becomes 25 years of age. The executors are to act as trustees. If the young lady should complete her education and establish herself before that age, or if she marries, the trust will terminate, and the title to the property shall pass to the child or children of Mrs. Gertrude Calac.
Creates Joint Trust
The premises at 1034 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, were willed to another niece, Mrs. Wilhelmina Sophia Wormley, and a nephew, Isaiah Franklin Jordan, to be held in trust for a son of the latter, Franklin Mason Jordan, until he becomes 21 years of age.
The property is to be rented and after payment of taxes one-half of the income is to go to Isaiah Franklin, to his wife in case of death, to create funds to educate Mason after he shall have finished his elementary education. They can be further used at the discretion of the husband or wife, after Mason completes his education, to aid him in establishing himself in his life's work.
The other portion of the income is to go to Mrs. Wilhelmina Wormley to be used to her discretion for the education and benefit of her

daughter, Emma Merritt Wormley. In the event of the death of either Franklin or Emma prior to the expiration of the trust, the shares mentioned will go to the parents. At the termination of the trust, when Franklin becomes 21 years of age, the premises at 1084 New Jersey Avenue goes to him, Wilhelmina, and heirs, as tenants in common.
Remembers Teachers' College
Miss Merritt left her educational library to the Miner Teachers' College.
The remainder of the estate is bequeathed to Mrs. Howard and Mrs. Calac, who were nominated as executors, to be exempted from financial bonds.
The will was dated May 6, 1933 and was witnessed by Mrs. Martina McAdoo, executory of the Y.W.C.A. 1746 S Street, Northwest, and Dr Iona A. Whipper, 511 Florida Avenue, Northwest, the personal physician of the deceased.
ELDER MICHAUX HAS 25 PEOPLE IN 7th ST. HOME
Secures Ball Park for His Sunday night Meetings; Will Use Tent also
Elder Lightfoot Solomon Michaux's building nears completion. It 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 landlord demanded his house at once. This family consists of mother, father and nine children 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 having to be supported as far as possible on the wages of one of the daughters and what little the mother could pick up.
But now the whole family is happily situated with no fear of being evicted at the home of the Church of God at Seventh and T Streets, Northwest, which has been reconditioned under the leadership of Elder Michaux, the pastor, for the purpose of relieving just such families as this one is from distress. All together, 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 general lines followed. He holds that to relieve people from the thought that they are no longer responsible to do what they can to help themselves indulges laziness. Therefore each family that enters the home is charged a certain amount of rent which is cancelled at the end of each week if they cannot pay. This plan is carried out to prevent people who enter this home from feeling that they do not have to find work or if work is found for them that they do not have to work. And when a family finds sufficient work and feels that it can take care of its obligations such as rent and other domestic expenses, it is requested to move to make room for other fortunate families.
To Hold Services in Tent and Ball Park
Beginning June 21, Elder Michaux, who is known as the Radio Evangelist of America, will conduct his summer revival campaign under a big gospel tent on Sherman Avenue in the 2300 block, Northwest. These meetings will continue through June, July, August, and up to September 3.
Due to the large number of radio members, both local and out-of-town (from various states throughout the country) who desire to attend these meetings, each Sunday night, service will be held at the Washington American League baseball park at 8 o'clock. There will be no admission charges, only a free-will offering will be requested.
The first meeting to be held at the ball park will be Sunday evening, June 25. A chorus of 154 voices will lead the singing. This is to be the beginning of a world-

lowing, to questions asked:
That he had been the clerk of said court for eleven years; that there had never been, so far as he knew, any Negroes on the list made up by the judge; that he had never selected a Negro for grand jury service; that he had, personally, never seen or heard of a Negro serving on a grand jury; that he knew, personally, the name of every member on the grand jury list to be that of a white man.
From the clerk's office Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Houston went to the office of Judge William R. Woolls, where they had a conference with him.
Judge Woolls admitted in the presence of Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Houston the following, to questions asked:
That he has been judge of the corporation court of the city of Alexandria since 1928; that prior to that time he was the commonwealth attorney for a number of years; that he had never put a Negro on the grand jury list which he is required to make up; that he selects his names for that list from the white taxpayers' list only; that he had never considered Negroes for grand jury service; that he had never known of a Negro to serve on a grand jury in the city of Alexandria.
Motion to Quash Ready
With this information Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Butts prepared a motion to quash the indictment which was expected to be returned Monday. June 12, and support such a motion by a plea in abatement.
On Monday, June 12, Mr. Hopkins and Mr. Butts went to court, this being the first day of the June term, only to discover that the regular grand jury and the list from which they were drawn were dismissed and that a special grand jury panel had been made up on which there were seven Negroes. However, only one Negro was se-

lected for the special grand jury service to serve along with six whites.
The motion to quash was to be made, based upon the ground that Negroes were systematically excluded from the grand jury solely because of their race and color in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, hence the defendant, Lloyd Wade, was denied the equal protection of the law as is secured to white persons.
Two Young Attorneys
Mr. Butts is a graduate of New York University (1926); was admitted to the Virginia bar June, 1930. He is 26 years old; born in New Jersey.
Mr. Hopkins is a graduate of Howard University Law School (1932); was admitted to the Virginia bar, December, 1932. He is 28 years old.
A true bill of manslaughter was finally returned in this case in the afternoon of June 12, and the defendant pleaded not guilty. The trial was set for June 30.
It is understood that the jury commissioners have been instructed, when they meet, to put Negroes on the petit jury panel for trial of the case—if not, another motion is quash will be made.

BECTON'S MEN TO FIGHT WIDOW FOR PROPERTY
Tragedy Still a Mystery; Gospel Feast Party to Continue
NEW YORK (CNA)—Powerful underworld influences are reported to work to prevent a full investigation of the murder of Rev George Wilson Becton, fashion plate evangelist, slain by white gangsters when his fantastic scheme for a self-arranged kidnapping scare miscarried. Several clues in the hands of the Philadelphia police have been dropped as too hot, it is reported from the "City of Brotherly Love."
Meantime a bitter fight is threatening over control of the property of the dead evangelist, with the widows claims challenged by the group of good-looking young men with whom Becton surrounded himself in his life to the exclusion of women. The widow is the Rev. Josephine Bufford Becton, from whom Becton was separated for years. The property includes Becton's palatial home on West 120th Street, with its huge collection of expensive period furniture and curios.
Temple Worth $22,000
Becton's widow has served notice on his young men that she intends to claim the Gospel Temple at 62 West 120th Street, after giving them time to settle their affairs and move out. The house alone is valued at $22,000. The furnishings run into the tens of thousands. The young men will contest Mrs. Becton's claims.
MacCobb Davies, manager of Becton's Gospel Feast Party, Inc., was released several days ago by the police following his payment of Becton's $414 hospital bill. Davies had been arrested on a charge of fraudulent conversion and misappropriation of funds when he refused to pay the hospital bill.
The leaders of the Gospel Feast Party, Inc., are planning to continue the lucrative gold-digging religious corporation. Here, too, a struggle is looming for leadership between the Rev. Lawrence Pierre director of the World's Gospel Feast Party Temple Choir, and the Rev. Alfred Campbell, pastor of the Little Mount Zion Baptist Church. The Rev. Mr. Campbell has started holding Gospel Feast services at his church. MacCobb Davies is to continue as business manager, it is reported.

The case was tried before Justice Jennings Bailey. Slaughter, who was represented by Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins, claimed he was injured by Grape on June 11, 1932, when his arm was twisted so as to cause permanent disability.

He told Grape to get a paper hanger, and during an argument Grape is alleged to have struck him and twisted his arm.
BISHOP VERNON IS ASSAULTED WITH CHAIR
BISHOP VERNON IS ASSAULTED WITH CHAIR
KANSAS CITY, Kans. (ANP)—Former Bishop Win. Tecumseh Vernon, of the A.M.E. Church, nationally known orator, registrar cf the U.S. Treasury during the Theodore Roosevelt administration, and who was recently elected superintendent of the industrial department of Western University here, was struck over the head with a chair, Monday, by Chester Gaskin, a disruntled local politician. The blow made a two-inch cut in the bishop's head, necessitating his going to the hospital for treatment. Gaskin is said to have been displeased at the policy of selecting the teaching staff at the university.
The state board in charge of the school had recommended the retention of most of the old faculty and employees. Bishop Vernon sought to carry these instructions out. He states that his position is that the trust which has been imposed in him by he state board of administration 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 afternoon in the offices of William Boone, real estate dealer on North Fifth Street. Boone was recently appointed custodian at Western He met several members of the group that supported him for the superintendency of Western University in face of the threat of the A.M.E. Church to withdraw its support if the bishop was appointed. According to these supporters, a deal was made whereby certain politicians would be given the selecting of a number of places on the staff. In other words, the patronage at the school would be split up between certain political factions. The bishop is accused of having agreed and then double crossed these supporters.
The bishop is also charged with forming a coalition with Bishop J. A. Hamlet of the C.M.E. Church. He is also accused of allowing Hamlett to name more of the staff than his position called for. It is said that Bishop Vernon approved of Hamlett's action.
Bishop Hamlett is president of the state trustee board. 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 Gaskin, Towers, Boone and Turner. The statements follow:
Chester Gaskin: "I haven't any statement to make relative to what has transpired. I have placed the matter in the hands of my attorney, 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 Vernon. I personally know that no one worked harder or was more loyal to Bishop Vernon than Gaskin in assisting him to secure the superintendency of the Industrial department of Western University. The whole affair is to be regretted, but I am encouraged to believe after talking to Bishop Vernon and Mr. Gaskin that the whole matter will be adjusted amiably."
William Boone: "It's a closed incident so far as I am concerned." Charles Turner: "I don't know anything."
Captain Marshall Buried With Military Honors at Arlington
Machine Gun Troop of Tenth Calvary Forms Escort for Brilliant Army Officer Who Died of Injuries Suffered During War
Captain Napoleon Bonaparte Marshall, world war hero, scholar, athlete, and diplomat, was buried with military honors Friday in Arlington National Cemetery.
Captain Marshall died June 5, at the Veterans' Hospital, New York, from injuries received during the war.
The funeral procession left his home, Ninth and T Streets, Northwest, shortly before 1 p.m. It was met at the gates of the cemetery by the Machine Gun Troop of the Tenth Cavalry, a band of the Third Cavalry, white, and officers of Fort Myer, Va.
many what Verdum was to France, and was said to be the most strongly fortified city in Europe. It is interesting to speculate what might have happened had not the Armistice held up the American drive upon Betz, when it is recalled that the Germans lost 900,000 men in the attempt upon Verdun.
The body was borne to the grave on an army caisson drawn by six white horses. Over the casket was draped a large U. S. flag. A squad of the 10th Cavalry fired three volleys over the grave and the bugler sounded taps.
Honorary pall-bearers were Col-West A. Hamilton, Col. Henry O. Atwood, Major Charles H. Fearing, Frank A. Garner, a non-commissioned officer who served under Captain Marshall and lost an arm during the war; Robert Marshall and James H. W. Howard, the latter two friends of the family.
Others present were Col. Benjamin O. Davis, Captain Arthur C. Newman, Armond W. Scott, and Lafayette M. Hershaw.
Haitian Minister Present
Dantes Bellegarde, minister from Haiti, and Mrs. Bellegarde walked with the family. Captain Marshall served as military attache to the American Legation in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, from 1922 to 1929. Consul Richard Hunt was also with the family. Captain Marshall had a brilliant war record and was the first colored man to offer his service to his country in the World War. tI was a year before the United States declared war on Germany, and while he was practicing law in New York that he wrote to President Wilson offering his services in the recruiting of a volunteer Negro regiment of infantry.
Recruited Fighting Fifteenth
He assisted in the recruiting of the Fifteenth Regiment of Infantry, New York National Guard, which was authorized by Governor Whitman, who presented it with its colors at the Union League in New York in May, 1917. At that time Captain Marshall received the commission of first lieutenant. On December 19, 1917, the regiment sailed from France and was designated as the 369th Regiment of the 93rd Division and was known as the Fighting Fifteenth. It was the first American regiment to reach the Rhine. The entire regiment was decorated with the Croix de Guerre. It was commanded by Col. William Haywood, and among its officers was the present Congressman Hamilton Fish, who was a captain.
With French Army
In France, Captain Marshall served as captain of a machine gun company, first regimental gas officer, and acting provost marshal. In March, 1918, the regiment was brigaded with the 16th French Division. Fourth Army, under the famous one-armed General Courau on the Champagne sector, and with it engaged in the following battles: Sector a' Abrique, Champagne, Marne, Sector Calvaire, Meuse-Argonne and Thur Sector.
Describes Lost Battalion
In writing his memories of the war and describing the Lost Battalion Captain Marshall says:
We arrived at the Argonne Forest just two days before the commencement of that, the greatest battle of all time. For the first five days of this battle, I commanded my battalion in the absence of our major, who was ill. It was in these days that occurred the incident that made "The Lost Battalion" an epic of history.
One of the regiments of the 92nd Division had been placed in a position of liaison between the French and the Allies. In the general pursuit of the enemy amid barbed wire and almost insurmountable obstructions in addition to a galling machine gun fire, this regiment, the 368th, had advanced eight kilometers when something happened.
Someone brought an apparent order to retreat, which it, with the greatest reluctance, did, as a Governmental investigation has disclosed. The Germans rushed into the opening thus made and surrounded Col. Whittlesey and his brave battalion. It was lost four days.
Shock Troops
After this regrettable incident our division was shifted over to the Maribach Sector as the shock troops of the Second American Army. This sector lay immediately in front of the city of Metz which was faintly visible from our front line trenches on Xon Hill. Metz, you know, was the western gateway to the German Empire. It was to Ger-

SALVATORE
The Late DAVID E. HENDERSON
as he appeared while being sworn in as an assistant to the U. S. Attorney General in 1929
D. E. HENDERSON DIES SUDDENLY IN CHICAGO
Served as an Assistant to U.S. Attorney General Under Hoover
KANSAS CITY.—David E. Henderson, nationally known lawyer, died suddenly Thursday of last week in Chicago from an acute stomach ailment.
Henderson was 57 years old, a native Texan and had practiced law in Kansas City, Kans., for about 30 years. He was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1904, and was a classmate of William C. Hueston, former special assistant in the post office department.
Mr. Henderson was appointed by President Hoover at the beginning of his administration as special assistant to the attorney general of the United States and was later assigned to the claims division with offices in Chicago.
He served his position in Chicago until. April, when it was taken over under Democratic control. Mr. Henderson had planned to return home to resume his practice of law. He always maintained an office here while he was away in Washington. The survivors besides his widow, Mrs. Ovella, Henderson, are a daughter, Miss Alice Henderson, and a son, Frank Henderson, all residents here. He also leaves a brother, Ed Henderson, and a sister, Mrs. Carrie Davidson, both of Emporia.

LuValle and Robb Argue Merits of President's
"Can the Negro Expect Prosperity with President Roosevelt," was the subject of a debate between J. A. G. LuValle, who said the Negro can, and Attorney F. H. Robb, of Chicago who took the negative side, at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church Thursday night.
Mr. LuValle reviewcw! the three months of the Roosevelt administration, 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 President's measures. The industrial recovery program, the home loan bill and the beer bill were praised by Mr. LuVale as the vehicles for prosperity along with the Muscle Shoals bill and the reforestation act.
He stated that all of this legislation was for the general good of this country and when the country as a whole is prosperous, the Negro as an integral part of the whole would be prosperous also.
He stated that the President had been so busy with these major bills that he had not the time to give much attention to small appointments or to the Negro as such. But, the fact that a Negro was transferred from the Navy Department to the private secretary's office 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 colored 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 appointments. 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 speaker. He spoke of several of the bils in a criticizing way without pointing out a single relief for the one he tackled.
He floundered and went back to the Tepatom Dotte affair of the Harding administration and the sins of the Refinance Corporation under President Hoover. He tried to stir up prejudice toward the President because he had a winter home in Georgia. He spoke with many words but little logic or argument. No judges were appointed and it was left to the audience to decide the winner. There was some division in the audience but the majority seemed clearly to adjudge Mr. LuValle, who had the affirmative as the winner. The Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the church, presided.

ASKS NEW TRIAL FOR THREE LOGAN CIRCLE YOUTHS
Attorney Claims Verdict of Jury Was Not Supported by Sufficient Evidence
Arguments for a new trial for the three Logan Circle boys were presented to the Court of Appeals last Thursday by their attorney, John H. Wilson. The three boys, Joseph James Jackson, Irvin Murray and Ralph Edward Holmes, were indicted by the grand jury and convicted by a jury in the District Supreme Court of a first degree murder charge in connection with the death of Milo J. Kennedy, park policeman, who was slain last August 7, in Logan Circle. Louie Redford Murray, Harry Montgomery DuVall, and Leroy Robinson, who were also indicted by the grand jury, were dismissed when the case was tried.
Verdict Contrary to Law
Arguments presented by Attorney Wilson for a new trial set forth the following facts:
The verdict of the jury was not supported by sufficient evidence.
The verdict of the jury was not supported by the weight of the evidence.
The verdict of the jury was contrary 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 subsequent to the date of the occurrence, without any evidence that the scenes depicted were the same or similar to the scenes on the date of the occurrence.
B. The prosecutor was permitted to ask witness Jackson, and other witnesses certain argumentative questions, to wit. If you had done the thing charged would you state it on the stand?"
Misconduct of Prosecutor
C. The prosecuting attorney brought out by Lieutenant Cox that he was present at the interrogation of the defendants because of a regulation requiring his presence as a superior officer. The defendants on cross examination were denied the right to go into the question of this regulation requiring his presence.
D. Misconduct of the prosecuting attorney by attempting to bring out the contents of the statement of Loreoy Robinson (who was exonerated by the jury) against the moving defendants herein when the court had previously ruled that it could not be done and after the court ruled that the same was improper argument, the prosecutor on four occasions made direct repetition of his position in the presence of the jury in defiance of the court's ruling.
E. The prosecuting attorney argued to the jury that the failure of the defendant, Holmes, to deny statements made in his presence during the proceedings at the District Morgue was an inference of his guilt.
Charges Prejudice
F. The defendants were prejudiced in their trial by the prosecutor having a large package of bricks marked for identification, permitting them to lie in view of the jury and refused to further identify them or to offer them in evidence.
G. The prosecutor, over the objections of the defendants proved that subsequent to the date of the alleged homicide, Irvin Murray carried and possessed brass knucks in the state of Virginia.
Whether a new trial will be granted will not be known for several months.
Officer Kennedy was stoned to death last summer when a group of boys sitting in the park attacked him after he is alleged to have arrested one of their number and was carrying him to a patrol box.
Assistant United States Attorney William Collins conducted the prosecution.

Policemen Investigate Shooting of Man in Neck
Officers of the Second Precinct are investigating the shooting of Ernest Jackson, 34, of 427 L Street, Northwest, Tuesday night, in Corcoran Court, Northwest. Jackson was wounded in the right arm and neck. His condition is not regarded as serious, but he was detained at Freedmen's Hospital for further observation after emergency treatment.
WASHINGTON, 5th IN POPULATION 24th IN BUSINESS
James A. Jackson Advises Civic Group of Business Lacks
At its last meeting for the season, Tuesday night, the Bloomingdale Civic Association heard James A. Jackson, of the Commerce Department, who spoke at length on the economic status of the Negro in Washington and in the United States.
The meeting was held at Tabor Presbyterian Church, Second and S Streets, Northwest.
Speaking of trained men in business, Mr. Jackson said that it is ridiculous for a college to cut out courses in applied science, since practically all the training for industry must come through applied science courses. "Of what service is a college when it cuts out the most essential courses?" asked the specialist.
He said that white people had been quite philanthropic to the Negro, giving him hospitals, nurseries, churches and schools, but never a business enterprise. The Negro must make his own way in business against the white man's opposition and competition. One reason why he is so far behind in business is that he needs a Simon Legree to lash him on.
Flays Women
The speaker paid his respects to the Negro women of Washington in particular by saying that they studied the latest styles, bridge rules and society columns, but failed to study profits in business, economics or the benefits to be derived by a housewives' organization for mutual benefit. He said that there is too wide a chasm between the educated Negro and the common class.
He said that Washington stands first in regular employment, first in educational facilities and in high school and college graduates, and first in professional men and women (there are 2,232 here). It is fifth in Negro population, but twenty-fourth in business and nine per cent below the national average for colored.
Nationally the Negro is engaged in every line of business and industry except owning railroads, circuses and stockyards. At that we are far below our opportunity in business. Nationally we are doing less than three per cent of the business of the country, while we make up one-tenth of the population.
Mr. Jackson said that the Negro receives too many dollars with round trip tickets attached to them. He receives them on Saturday and they are back in the hands of the white man before Monday night.
The association voted to endorse the Industrial Bank plan to reorganize as a national bank. Mrs. J. A. Cuney is president of the association.

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.

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.
This release is indited Wednesday, June the seventh. On Thursday, June the eighth, I have engaged to deliver the commencement address at the State Normal School, Bowie, Maryland. 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.

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?

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 prescription—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.

Keeping Step
By Beatrice M. 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.

Liberia's Default to Firestone
By BEN N. 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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—Sixteen young girls and boys received the official nod of the Downingtown Industrial School at its twenty-seventh annual commencement exercises held on the campus here, last Thursday afternoon.
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.

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.

school class was smaller than the
college class.
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

in Colored America" there were more names of Lincoln graduates than those from any other school. 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.

"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.

If you have never tried this New England combination for a dinner dessert, by all means serve it one of these brisk, cool, days. 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. But with vanilla ice cream for a sauce on the hot pudding it becomes an extra special dish for high days and holidays. Or if you want a more economical dessert serve the pudding, hot or cold, with plain cream or top milk.

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"

SOUTHERNAIRES ON
NBC THREE YEARS
Those revivers of old songs of Dixie the Southernaires, will celebrate on Sunday, June 25, their third anniversary as one of the musical high spots on the NBC airwaves.
The four young men, three of them college graduates, spent several years of research among members of the race in the deep South to recover many of the almost forgotten Negro melodies, and they have featured these old songs on their Soutland Sketches programs, heard each Sunday morning at 9 o'clock over an NBC-WJZ network.
In their anniversary program, the Southernaires will repeat their original NBC broadcast and will present a noted Negro as guest speaker
Phil Harris, California band leader, who was seen recently in a short on the Howard Theatre screen featuring the song, "It Happened to Me, and it can Happen to You," is to begin a weekly cost to coast broadcast over the NBC-WJZ network Friday, June 23 at 8 p.m.
Those who saw and heard Phil Harris cannot help but remember his pleasing personality and his unusual voice, and will welcome him each Friday evening with open ears.
One writer says there is a timbre deeply reminiscent of the late Bill Williams in the rich and sonorous tones which characterize the singing of Phil Harris.
Phil Harris and his orchestra with Leah Ray, deep-voiced song-stress, will be presented in a half-hour program, at which time he will lead his orchestra, he be his master-of-ceremonies, sing in his bass-baritone voice and engage in dialogue with Leah Ray,

"Folks From Dixie," a story written by Carleton Moss and played by an all-Negro cast over the NBC network each Sunday at 12:30 p.m. is quite entertaining. Next Sunday at the regular time follow the Jackson family on the first day in Europe and see what plans Neola has made with Orie. Jennie Jackson has inherited a fortune and is taking the family abroad, so let us follow the Jacksons on their tour in Europe.
The Mills Brothers, who have been inactive since brother John succumbed to pneumonia two months ago, will resume their vaudeville appearance in New York with the week beginning July 7. . . John left the hospital this week under doctor's orders to rest up at Piqua, Ohio, for a month be-
sore doing any work. The time for their radio broadcast has not been decided yet. Have you missed them?
The Boswell sisters had their pictures taken separately for the first time when they posed for passports the other day. Connie, Martha and Vet will desert the U.S.A. for London on Saturday, June 17, whey they sail for Plymouth, aboard the S.S. Ile de France. They'll spend the summer season at the Palladium Theatre and the Cafe de Paris in the British capital. They just completed a five-week song tour in the principal theatres of eighteen American cities.
Elder S. L. Michaux, WJSV's early morning revivalist, is in receipt of a request from the chapel of the Kansas State Penitentiary for copies of the Elder's theme song "Happy Am I."
The inmates of the jail, according to the chaplain, hear the Elder's chorus every Saturday morning when the program is carried by the Columbia network.
The Harmonious Quartet is on WMAL Sunday 8:30 p.m., under the name of Dixie Harmonies. This is Washington's major Negro feature.
A barnstorming tour of one night dances will keep Cab Calloway and his Cotton Club orchestra busy during the entire month of July, with the exception of one week at the Castle Farms in Cincinnati, Ohio.
On July 28, Cau and his band will open an engagement at the Hippodrome theatre in Cleveland, which may be followed by other theatre dates in Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis.
With the week beginning Monday, July 19, Edwin C. Hill will speak on "The Human Side of the News" over the WABC-Columbia network on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday from 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. The Friday broadcasts will replace those previously heard on Tuesdays.
In addition to his three appearances before the microphone each week, Hill will be kept busy with other activities. Currently he is engaged in writing six newspaper articles a week, making a series of stage appearances and, whenever he has a moment, working on movie shorts.
One of the most sensational ovations ever accorded an attraction at the Palladium Theatre in London, England, was extended Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra on the opening day of their engagement, Monday, June 12.
Ellington's visit abroad had been keenly anticipated for months, by
USED CARS
English musicians and music lovers because of the impression which hi phonograph records, with original compositions and his unique special arrangements, had created. According to a cablegram from his manager, Irving Mills, the attendance and the enthusiasm at the Palladium this week exceed's even the brightest expectation. It was presaged, to some extent, by the splendid reception when Duke and his men landed from the boat last week.
The Ellington band is scheduled to play two weeks at the Palladium, to be followed by a week in Liverpool and a week in Glasgow. Whether it will return to America at the end of this four week period, or continue appearances on the continent depends on the outcome of negotiation which Irving Mills is conducting now with France.

An unusual and outstanding fea-

copting as an equivalent of his

evidences of his success in the sub-
ject since his withdrawal from

Mr. Pelhain failed of graduation
in 1914 because he did not satisfy
the requirements of the Senior class

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

‘Accepting such protracted exper:

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

agree.

Ruby Bates
“Ruby Bates, marching at the

Washington, May 8, by herself
gaye the parade more significance
than any other single unit of the
parade. 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-

“It is not beyond the realm of

Sightless Preacher Wants No Parasites in Pulpits
BLIND MINISTER DELIVERS SERMON TO CONFERENCE
Says God Does not Call Lazy, Jobless Men to His Service
The Rev. 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. Only 47 of the nearly 200 members had paid the $1.00 assessment for the entertainment of the Baltimore ministers the first of May.
The conference met in connection with the commencement program of the Baptist Seminary. The Rev. J. L. S. Holloman is pastor of the church and president of the seminary.
Dinner was served the ministers at 4 o'clock.
The Rev. S. A. Bass, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, will deliver the sermon next Monday.

Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, president of Phyllis Whettley Y.W.C.A. in her tribute at the funeral of Miss Emma F. G. Merritt, said: "Brave heart, true heart; we will not say goodbye. God speed you with no sadness of farewell.
"Miss Merritt was one of the founders of the association and chairman of its finance committee for twenty-eight years and for years chairman of the building committee. It was under her leadership that the association acquired its first property, 429 T Street, Northwest.
"She was intensely interested in the work of the association and was a leader in every campaign for funds for its maintenance.
"There remains us now only memories and hope—mories of what she was, of what she said and what she did; and hope that some time, somewhere we shall meet and greet her where death is itself only a memory and where life is eternal and beautiful."

BISHOP HEARD IS OVERRULED BY CHURCH BODY
Rev. E. A. 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.

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.

He put in his thumb, and pulled out a judgeship plum.

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.

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.

ARMSTRONG TEAM WINS GOLF CROWN
Hager of Tech Cops Low Score to Annex Individual Title
Joseph Hager, of Armstrong, with a low score of 60, won the South Atlantic High School individual golf championships on the Lincoln Memorial course, last Saturday. 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

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.

'DALES CONTINUE WINNING STREAK
Take Both Ends of Twin Bill From Rajahs by 21-11 and 6-3 Scores
Hillsdale vs. Giants, at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Read.
Rajahs vs. White Sox at Halls Hill, Va.
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.

Trials and Anxiety of a Baseball Coach
EDITOR'S NOTE.-Mr. Adams has been identified with coaching activities for about twenty-three years. His career began as a teacher in the elementary schools of Washington, when he 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

walk. 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.

A's TRIM TIGERS IN DOUBLE BILL
Pete Tate and Chink Moten Added to Roster of Anacostia A.C.
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.

Stockton, imperial first lieutenant commandress of the Imperial Grand Court, spoke on behalf of that body, setting forth and covering the relation of the Imperial Grand Court to the Imperial Council. She called attention to a time when the imperial council was receiving its "Baptism of Fire" at the hands of the courts, and how the daughters went to God in prayer for the success of our cause and that she felt that this was quite a factor in winning our case.
In the absence of John H. Murphy, Jr., $^{33}$ imperial chief rabban, who was programmed to give the history of the order and why we celebrate Jubilee Day (but could not be present owing to automobile troubles en route to the meeting which prevented him from arriving until about 11:30). Chas. D. Freeman substituted for him.
The thanksgiving sermon was preached by the Rev. Frank E. Hearns, $^{32}$ a noble of the order, who selected a part of the 16th verse of the 21st chapter of Revelations. "The length and the breath and the height of it was equal." The pictures drawn and the illustrations given will long live in the minds of all who heard him.
After the service a banquet was served. Ill. Potentate U. G. B. Martin, Ill. Commandress Emma S. Martin, Jubilee committee, R. A. Whaley, chairman, Chas. D. Freeman, Henry B. Gee, Cicero A. Lee, William M. Edwards, Alzada Freeman, Ida Jones, Pearl C. Getts, Susie V. Moten, and Vernetta M. Hubert.

Other members of the team include Ike Woodward and John Ellis both capable distance runners. The Y team finished sixth last year entering three men who finished.
DR. JOHNSON
(Continued from page 1)
retary of the president of Howard University.
Mr. BLANTON. It does not come from the president himself?
Mr. DEPRIEST. This is a statement
that Dr. Johnson issued himself.
But we want to know whether or not he made the statement attributed to him; not his genial idea about the matter but whether or not he made the statements that were attributed to him by the press and which were put into the statements that were attributed to him like to know. I agree that if he did make those statements Howard University ought to have a new president.
We agree on that.
Mr. BLANTON. I do not think a statement from his secretary should be read.
Mr. DEPRIEST. No. This is a statement he issued himself.
Mr. BLANTON. Then we ought to follow that statement. Then we ought to "statement as to whether or not he used the language attributed to him.
Wants All Schools Looked Into
Mr. DePRIEST. I am willing to go further than that. I am willing to have this Congress investigate the whole thing. We will be going on to it. I do not think it is good American to support the unionism to students of this country. [Applause.] We have had outbursts in several colleges lately. Some students have been suspended from school for spreading the virus. Mr. BLANTON. Unfortunately, it is not only Howard University that is involved. It is also some of the large white universities, and they ought to be cleaned up, and we should not send his son only to institutions in the United States that do not teach communism. [Applause.] Mr. DePRIEST. I am happy to say that the patriotic American utterances which our colleague from Illinois has used so eloquently in denouncing un-American communism.
THE SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the gentleman from Illinois [Mr. DePriest]? There was no objection.
The clerk then read the remarks of Dr. Johnson on communism that was a part of his baccalaureate sermon which appeared in last week's Tribune.
After a brief colloquy concerning the teaching of communism in the District public schools, the discussion of Dr. Johnson's attitude was resumed.
Mr. SISSON. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield? Mr. DEPRIEST I yield. Mr. SISSON. Will the gentleman from Illinois tell the House what occasioned this statement which has just been read into the Record from the president of Howard University.
Mr. DEPRIEST. It is an answer to newspaper charges that he preached communism.
Mr. SISSON. But he merely said in substance that he thinks there may possibly be something in the Russian experiment. He the gentleman think that is objectable.
Mr. DePRIEST. I am not trying to defend Dr. Johnson.
Mr. BOSON. Could the gentleman deny the right to free speech in America? Mr. DePRIEST. I have presumed that in America the people had the right of free speech, but this involves a school sustained in large part by money appropriated by the Federal Government. I do not think this is true. America which teaches un-American doctrines should receive Federal aid. [Applause.]
Knowing Dr. Johnson as I do, knowing Dr. Johnson as I do, knowing God and God's teachings, and knowing that communism is against the teachings of God. I cannot believe he is a Commun-
Mr. BOYLAN. Mr. Speaker, will the gentleman yield?
Mr. DEPRESHET, I yield.
Mr. BLANTON, in this statement read by the Clerk, I do not think there was a definite statement from the doctor. I think the matter should be looked into further and a more definite statement obtained from him to his attitude on this question. Does the doctor understand what I ask this question as a friend of Howard University and as a supporter of the appropriations for its maintenance. I may ask for the benefit of the gentleman from New York that I will prepare a resolution this afternoon to investigate communism as taught in the American schools, all of which are part of our school system. These long-haired communistic professors are ruining some of our children in many of our institutions. [Apause.]
At this point Mr. Blanton related what he had read in the New York Age of two weeks ago concerning alleged statements of Dr. Johnson concerning communism which the doctor has since stated were partly garbled and partly statements made by others and attributed to him.

This theatrical spotlight” this
week is filled to the brim with
glowing talent, and praiseworthy
entertainment, with both stage
houses, Howard and Lincoln, striv-

sentations.
“This is neither the time nor the

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.

HEAT WAVE KILLS MAN;15 MORE GO TO HOSPITAL
2 in Critical Condition As Mercury Reaches 100 Degrees
The deadly heat wave reaching a temperature of 100 degrees, which tightened its grip around the throats of Washingtonians during the past week, caused by death and numerous prostrations. Individual citizens reported that thermometers registered as high as 120 degrees. Thursday. The mercury has passed the 100 degree mark in Washington only twice before in June, once in 1874, when it soared to 102, and in 1911, when it reached 101.
Schools Closed
The public schools were closed at noon, Thursday. The opening of the Francis swimming pools offered relief to a large group of persons seeking relief from the heat. Many of the Government buildings were closed early. The death due to prostration is that of John Wallace, 34, of 2128 Virginia Avenue, Northwest. Wallace collapsed at Fourteenth Street and Constitution Avenue, Northwest, at 3 p.m. Thursday, when the mercury reached its peak, and died four hours later at Emergency Hospital.
Funeral services for Mr. Wallace were conducted at Liberty Baptist Church, Twenty-third and H Streets, Northwest, Wednesday afternoon.
He is survived by a wife, Mrs. Mabel Lee Wallace; mother, Mrs. Maria Nichols; sister, Mrs. Irene Gentry. He was the son-in-law of John and Mrs. Rosa Lee.
While working in a laundry, Agnes Brown, 32, collapsed and broke her skull when she fell on a cement floor. Her condition is regarded as serious. Merle Gordon, of Surrattsville, Md., is also in a critical condition. Hospitals received so many calls that in some cases persons were treated and released without their names and addresses being learned. Among those treated at various hospitals were:
Heat Victims
Mrs. Effie Livingston, 25, of 1688 Gramer Street, Northeast; Odel Johnson, 42, of 1329 Q Street, Northwest; Arthur Gore, 31, of 1126 Twenty Twenty-third Street, Northwest; Louis Jenkins, 50, of 63 Defries Street, Northwest; William Blake, 43, of 2433 Eighth Street, Northwest; Joseph Evans, 6 Fowlers Hill, Northwest; Joseph Butler, address unknown; James Craig, 27, Morris Road, Southeast; Odell Johnson, 42, of Eighth Street, Northeast; Anthony Lee, 32, New Hampshire Avenue, Northwest; Joshua Collins, Second Street, Northeast; Clarence Thomas, 45, unknown address; Mrs. Marie Ginyard, 20, of 11 Fitter Street, Northeast.

MRS. KATHLEEN M. LUCKETT
Alexandria Representative
The Rev. Prof. Howard Thurman,
of the School of Religion, Howard
University, emphasized the importance
of strong moral character
and the great need of concentrated
thinking on the part of the youth
of our race, at the graduating
exercises at the Parker-Gray School,
last Friday morning.
The exercises were different
from the usual this year in that
the members of the graduating
classes interpreted the school to
the public, by stating its aims, its
equipment, its program of study,
the work of parent-teacher association
and the school's outstanding
needs.
The Rev. A. W. Adkins, high school teacher at Parker-Gray, presented a farewell token from the teachers of the school, to R. C. Bowton, superintendent of schools of the city, whose resignation is effective July 1, after ten years of service.
The Rev. Mr. Adkins gave a brief review of the progress made during the past ten years under Mr. Bowton, chiefly among them was securing an increase of the teachers' salaries of the Parker-Gray School, which, after considering the recent cut, are still in advance of what they were when Mr. Bowton entered the system. Other matters mentioned were a two-year high school addition to the school, and a willingness to cooperate with the principal at all times.
The superintendent, R. C. B. Bowton, had prepared an address, but owing to the extremely warm weather talked briefly of his work accomplished here, and ended by thanking teachers and pupils for their co-operation.
Prizes were awarded as follows: Theresa Adkins, $2.50 for the highest scholarship in the high school graduating class; Catherine Holland, $2.50 for excellent work in the home economics department. One of these prizes was given by George Darnell and the other was given by the parent-teacher association. Carolyn Hallis received $2, and Margaret Brown and Beatrice Chisley each received $1 for efficient work in the home economics department.
The school board of the city has adopted a plan whereby parents may supply their children in the elementary schools with books for $1.50 a year, and those who attend high school at $2 a year.
This plan will be made possible if all children who are now in school will turn their books over to the school board.
Those who do not turn in their books will have to buy books next year at the same price of previous years. Books range from $1.50 to $8, if purchased by parents.
The Lookout Club received clothing from Mrs. Rosa Brooks and Mrs. Jennie Cook, also $2 from the Eastern Star.
Mrs. Kathleen M. Luckett, Alexandria representative of the Washington Tribune, has moved to 907 Pendleton Street.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY. JUNE 16. 1933
Federal News Notes
FLASH:—The writer of this column was wrong when he said that he would be dropped on July 1, 1933. He should have said June 30. So much for that!
By John (State Dept.) Taylor
We know that game in hearts and spades
Is easiest to make
Because in playing major suits
You've just ten tricks to take.
The clubs and diamonds make you
work.
You have to get one more.
So why in contract should they
give
Your side a smaller score?
Rewards in bridge resemble life's—
The ones of greatest size.
Instead of just for working hard,
Are paid for being wise.

Johnny, who is one of the
writer's friendliest enemies, was a
deciding factor in the State De-
partment's winning of the Bridge
trophy recently awarded to them.
Congressman Oscar DeFriest, whose friendship the writer enjoys, was doubtless a wee bit surprised to receive from him a card, on June 10, 1933, congratulating him on the 35th anniversary of his marriage. The card should have gone to his secretary, Morris (H.O.B.) Lewis, whose two daughters, Caro and Dorothy, have recently become two of the writer's best friends and most severe critics. The family, at this writing, was planning to leave for Glencoe (their country place 28 miles out of Chicago) Saturday morning, June 17. Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis, Jr. will stop over with friends at 1716 Fifthen Street, until his family's return in November.
One of my readers writes in to inquire: "Did you know that Albert (State Dept.) Rice's brother-in-law is assistant District attorney in charge of all gambling prosecutions, especially numbers?" The answer is "Yes, if you mean Frank W. Adams. I saw it in the Tribune last week."

Is it true that a well known Agriculture Dept. messenger was a participant in that fracas Monday night on the E. Madison Hall during which three people were shot? The Newshawk knows.
*****
Which recently retired War Department messenger, who lives at 749 Park Road, Northwest, also has an honorable discharge from the U. S. Navy?
Is it true that State Department
messengers are calling "Judge"
Holmes a snake in the grass and a
cowardly hypocrite? What dirty
trick did he do, to whom, why?
The Newswash knows and will
explain in detail in due time.
* * * *
Is it true that a certain D.C.R.
messenger was caught red-handed
pinping on another one and is due
for a sound whipping in the very
near future?
* * * *
Why is Morris (War Dept.)
Robinson asking for his release
from the Commerce baseball team?
Is it true that he has requested
the president of another club to
permit him to coach his team?
Who was the fellow in to see John (Commerce Dept.) Charleston last week in connection with getting assistance from his organization, the American Federation of Government Employees? What did Charleston say?
The writer takes this occasion to publicly thank James (State Dept.) Jackson for the season pass given to him to any dance given at Lincoln Colonnade or Suburban Gardens sponsored by the National Amusement Bureau. Now if someone will give a season meal ticket and a season's use of a room, I could write a column which would do credit to the 20,000 or more Federal Employees of color in the service.
Is it true that a certain Interior Department messenger, who has exceptional dramatic ability, has taken unto himself a young lady from Florida who pounds the typewriter for a livelihood? The Newshawk knows.
In compiling a list of well-known and influential Federal employees, the names of G. P. Oger, T. Brooks, Marcel Rojier, and Louis Delmont were given me for the Interior. They are in the Geological Survey, Indian Office, and Secretary's office, respectively. What about Preston Harris, Ernest Woolfolk, and Bob Bates?
Will someone get this line to the attention of Lorenzo (Smithsonian Institute) Gant. I would like to have him get in touch with me as soon as possible.
I wender if my good friends Morris Lewis, Jr. and James Mahonay, both of the Library of Congress, will try to contact two of their co-workers, M. Aquila and Dr. Harry Honesty, for me and ask them to call me at their convenience?
Although it is a fact that Ed. Rouser and Palestine Peters have retired from the mail room of the Division of Foreign and Domestic Commerce of the Commerce De-
A. B.
partment and Andrew Menkins is scheduled to leave in the very near future from the same place. Wharton Moore, the Administrative Assistant, of that Division, assured the writer that no vacancies existed there. Incidentally, what is the matter with Menkins? The Newshawk knows.
What Agriculture Department messenger who lives on Elm Street, is all hot and bothered because of his graduation from high school last week? The writer, who finished high school in New Orleans in January 1926, can tell him that it don't mean a thing if you ain't got that swing.
Miss Ethel (P.B. & P.P.) Washington, cool and lovely, was observed at the drill with the ever loving Mack.
I wonder if that certain State Department messenger who has a secret crush on a certain elevator conductor knows that she's heading for a wedding?
Bill (State Dept.) Heater, the Old Maestro of the Bluebirds Orchestra, did right well at the Howard last week. Take Al Rice's advice, be nice, remember publicity pays. It can make you or break you, ask Cab, he knows. Now, swing it "Gate."
What messenger in the State, War and Navy building has a habit of bringing his children to the building to show off before the white folks?
If George (Post Office) Steele, of 1722 Second Street, Northwest, whose son recently graduated from some New York College as a civil engineer( turning down a job of $500 a month before finishing school) will contact me in the very near future. I shall be very glad to take up the matter which he has mentioned to one of my reporters. Young Steele graduated from Dunbar with high honors.
Paraphrasing Betty (Federal Merry-Go-Round) Nowell: "There seems little hope for the bureaus whose abolishment is asked by the President. After all $25,000,000 is a sum to turn heads, especially now."
The Bureau of Public Buildings and Parks, one of the bureaus affected by the reorganization is said to have assured its personnel that none would be dropped. The report is misleading. I have learned from reliable sources that drastic reductions will be made not later than July 15 and some notices are being given now.
An unauthenticated report has it that the Government Printing Office will lose at least three hundred employees, Commerce two hundred, Internal Revenue about fifty, State Department about thirty, Labor Department approximately thirty, and the War Department about twenty-five. Treasury, the Industrial, Control group in Commerce, the Reforestation group in Agriculture, and the Veterans' Administration at the Veterans Bureau will be the only ones hiring.
N. Howard (State Dept.) Stanton, who is regional representative for the Southway Tours, would have you know that World Fair visitors may have at, and connected with the Southway Hotel at South Parkway at Sixixti Street, eight entertainments and comfort features for $7.50 for three days as follows:
Cab service from depot to Southway Hotel; two night's lodging in Southway Hotel; two club breakfasts in hotel dining room; two bus trips from hotel to fair grounds; three admission tickets to fair; three bus trips from fair grounds to hotel; cab service from hotel to depot.
It seems that the rates are quoted on a basis of two persons occupying each room.
David (Commerce) Peters, who won by one vote a ring symbolizing the most useful member of the Owl's Social Club for 1933, is going to make the trip to Chicago along with Brooks (R.F.C.) Muse, Albert (Treasury) Sterling, Alvin (Coastguard) Webb, Eugene (Internal Revenue) Radcliffe, John (P.P. & P.B.) Henry, the writer and others. Come along, we may go up in the "Mayflower." Ask any Owl Club member what the "Mayflower" is. Don't ask David Peters.
Send your Federal News Notes to the writer at 1821 Eighth Street, Northwest. Telephone Potomac 2836 or Metropolitan 2403. Unless, unforeseen circumstances intervene, this will be the next to the last issue of Federal News Notes.
POSTSCRIPT—The writer observed "Wop" Taylor, ex-Federal employee, now of Miner Teachers' College, serenely wandering about the drill. It is too bad that the Federal Economy law affects D.C. school appointments, "Wop." This columnist (with appropriate apologies) extends his heartiest though belated congratulations to Company D: 25th Regiment of Armstrong High School, for its victory in the annual competitive drill of the colored High School Cadet Corps of Washington.

N. A. A. C. P. 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.

COLUMBIA LODGE AND TEMPLE PAY ANNUAL VISIT TO BLUE PLAINS
By Floyd W. Robinson
The Blue Plains committees headed by its chairman and vice chairman, Ruth Cumbers, and Thomas Holland, respectively, with Columbia Lodge's band, the marching units, nurses units, and the membership of both organizations on Sunday afternoon made their annual pilgrimage to Blue Plains to give entertainment and serve dinner to the inmates of the institution.
These occasions are known as Sunshine Day to the lodge and temple.
The annual sermon of Forest Temple was held last Sunday at First Baptist, Church, Sixth and G Streets, Southwest. The Rev. J. H. 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. The following are Columbia's delegates and alternates to the convention at Indianapolis in August: Delegates—A. C. Griffith, Capt. Sylvester H. Epps Wm. H. Davis, Douglas Dyson, Charles A.

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.

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.

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.

UNIFICATION OF VIRGINIA BAPTISTS RECEIVES SETBACK
Union University and Lynchburg Seminary Keep Bodies Separated
From the Norflok Journal and Guide
The unification of the Baptist forces of Virginia, split into two organized factions for more than three decades, was as far from realization this week as ever, as a result of the refusal of the Virginia State Baptist Convention to adopt the recommendation of its president to take immediate steps toward merging with the Baptist General Association of Virginia.
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.

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.

NEWARK CHURCH ASKS REMOVAL OF BISHOP HEARD
Petition Declares Him to be Incapable and Unfit; Mob Scenes Recalled
NEWARK, N.J. (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.
