2 Howard Physicians Freed of Negligence in Spinal Puncture Case
Jury Brings in Directed Verdict in Favor of Dr. George W. Adams
WIFE AIDS DEFENSE OF DR. S. ACKISS
Patient Claims Loss of Sight Followed Operation at Freedmen's
Two well-known Washington physicians and instructors in the Howard University Medical School were exonerated in the District Supreme Court Thursday on a charge of malpractice.
The physicians were Dr. George W. Adams, Jr., assistant in pathology in the Medical School, and Dr. Smallwood Ackiss, 631 M Street, clinical assistant in surgery.
The suit which was for $20,000, was filed by William Humes, Lamond Place, Takoma Park. Humes claimed that Dr. Adams performed a spinal puncture on him on January 11, 1931, at Freedmen's Hospital. Dr. Ackiss is alleged to have assisted in the operation.
Eye Lid Dropped
Humes said that shortly after the fluid was taken from his spine he felt dizzy and complained of impaired vision. The next day he experienced difficulty in raising the lid on his right eye and some time later he had told that a nerve in the lid had become paralized and for some time he has been unable to raise the lid and the sight of the eye has become blurred and impaired.
Following the hearing of testimony, Justice Jennings Bailey instructed the jury to bring in a directed verdict in the case in favor of Dr. Adams, as the court held that he had taken every precaution in making the spinal puncture. The jury was out nearly one hour be- (Continued on page 11)
Washington Tribune
A wife accused by her husband of disregarding her marital bonds and having affairs with an unknown correspondent, missing since last year, is being sought by a court's attorney so that a hearing on a petition for an absolute divorce may be heard.
The woman is Mrs. Lillian Chapman, who formerly lived at 2370 Champlain Street, Northwest, Apartment 45.
The request for an absolute divorce was filed by the husband, Eugene Chapman, on July 5, 1932, through Nathan A. Dobbins.
The petition stated that the couple was married on December 15, 1932, and lived together until June 5, 1929. The Rev. C. C. Williams, then pastor of the Union Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church, performed the ceremony.
Mrs. Chapman was personally served with papers to answer the unit. July 3, 1932. After the time for the filing of an answer had expired, Justice James M. Proctor appointed J. Franklin Wilson to defend the woman on August 16, 1932.
Whereabouts Unknown
The attorney wrote Mrs. Chapman a registered letter shortly afterward requesting her to consult him in reference to a defense. The letter was returned unclaimed. He made a personal visit to the apartment later. The occupants told him Mrs. Chapman did not live there and they did not know her whereabouts. On the Friday past, Attorney Wilson filed a statement with the District Supreme Court informing them of his futile efforts to reach the wife, and the case still hangs pending.

DR. R. B. WILSON WINS DAMAGES FOR INJURIES
Dentist Struck by Machine, Settles for Unknown Sum in Chicago Court
An award for damages suffered in an automobile accident in 1929, reported to approximate several thousand dollars, was made to Dr. R. B. Wilson, 942 T Street, Northwest, last week, in a Chicago circuit court.
Several conflicting figures have been quoted as the amount received by Dr. Wilson. One report was that he received $14,000, another was that he received $7,000.
When questioned by a representative of the Tribune, Dr. Wilson admitted winning the suit, but declined to affirm or deny any rumors as to the amount involved.
The allowance is reported to have been made on the second day of the trial of the case in the Windy City, when opposing counsel halted the proceedings through a compromise. Dr. Wilson was struck on Florida Avenue, between Second and Third Streets, Northwest, in February, 1929, by a Lincoln sedan. The machine was owned by Ralph H. Bradley, white wealthy attorney, of Chicago, but driven by his chauffeur.
In Hospital Eight Weeks
As a result of the injuries, Dr. Wilson was confined in the hospital for eight weeks, later using crutches for more than a month. He also claimed the loss of a year's practice as dentist. Part of the defense was that as the owner of the machine was not in it at the time of the mishap, he was not responsible. The plaintiff contended that the driver was performing his duty for the owner, and thereby creating a liability on the part of the owner.
Upon the filing of the suit, the Chicago court ordered the taking of testimony and examination of witnesses in the District, before Samuel D. Lacey. Dr. Wilson was represented in the examinations by Attorney Armond W. Scott, of the District bar, and they are said to have occupied several months of the past year.
Dr. Wilson was represented in the Chicago trial by A. M. Burroughs, of that city.
The owner of the offending machine is said to have been heavily insured, the insurance company taking the responsibility of immediate payments.

Square Meal for 12 cents Can Be Bought at 1-cent Restaurant
Health Is First Consideration at Newest Restaurant Here Which Served over 600 on Opening Day. Former Police Chief in Charge
160 Local Boys in Virginia Civilian Conservation Camp
First Sergeant White Receives Letter in Which President Roosevelt Expresses Interest in Welfare of Group
A square meal, including dessert, at 12 cents is no mere dream of an Utopia; but is a reality down on Seventh Street, where the newest Bernard Macfadden one-cent restaurant opened its doors last Thursday.
The establishment which is under the supervision of Pelham D. Glassford, Washington's former chief of police, is located at 1727 Seventh Street, Northwest, and fed some 600 persons the first day. It has a capacity of 2,500 per day.
Average Meal 8 Cents
The average meal costs about 8 cents, but when one wants to splurge and get extra potions the cost runs about 12 cents. When visiting one of these penny restaurants one need not expect to be served by a pretty waitress or expect to get silver service, but you are given generous helpings and you will have to stand while eating.
Here is a sample menu and the prices:
Split pea soup, 1 cent; creamed cod fish on toast, 1 cent; cabbage and carrot salad, 1 cent; beef stew with vegetables, 5 cents; vegetable stew, 2 cents; whole wheat apple pie, 2 cents; whole w heat doughnuts, 1 cent; whole wheat bread, 2 for 1 cent; sweet or buttermilk, 2 cents; raisin coffee, 1 cent; coffee, 1 cent; cream for coffee, 1 cent; sugar for coffee, 1 cent. Then there is the special table d' hote meal for 10 cents.
The penny restaurants were founded by Bernarr Macfadden, noted physical culturist, who has been studying food problems for nearly half a century. He started the first such restaurant in New York 25 years ago, but at that time there was no depression and the

in Welfare
SNOWDEN, Va. (Special to The Tribune) — The 160 Washington boys who comprise Company K. Civilian Conservation Corps which is situated here in the mountains of Virginia near Lynchburg are having the time of their lives, according to reports from members of the company.
Sergeant Joseph White, who is in charge of the boys, recently received a letter from President Roosevelt's secretary, Louis McH. Howe, in which the President expressed interest in the work the boys are doing at the camp.
The boys from Washington were first sent to Fort Washington, Md., where they were in training for 30 days and then sent to Virginia, where they are scheduled to remain six months.
All of the boys are loud in their praise of Captain E. A. C. Curran, white army officer, who has charge of the camp. First Sergent White who is a minister and old army man, is conducting services at the camp and holds religious meetings three times a week. A flag raising program was held Saturday by the American Legion, white of Lynch-
idea was simply to demonstrate how cheaply people could be thoroughly nourished. The business showed a profit of $200 the first month.
On furnishing the restaurants, chairs are eliminated and tables are built at which customers stand. Customers must wait on themselves and pick up trays and pass along a line of steam tables where foods are placed on a narrow table in front of the steam tables with small signs giving the price and character of the food.
Food Cooked in Double Boilers
The soups are made rather heavy and are not strained. There is no meat base, although chopped fried onions with a liberal quantity of oil or beef fat is added to enrich the soups. They taste good and in fact, give even a connoisseur the impression that they have a meat base.
All foods are cooked in double boilers, the gas flame never touches the food container proper. No lard is used in preparing dishes. The food is of a superior quality and is cooked in such a manner as to retain the nourishment and the vitamin content. All foods are bought in large quantities and are prepared by experts.
15 Persons Employed
All foods, including sugar, vegetables and grain are covered in large metal cans as soon as it reaches the restaurant. This is done to avoid small bugs and ants from reaching the food which is usually shipped in cloth bags.
Guy C. Glassford, son of General Glassford, is in charge of the Seventh Street restaurant. There are a total of 15 persons employed in serving the food. All are colored except the three cooks and cashier.

The day's work begins at 5 a.m. and all have to report for revelle at 5:30. Breakfast is served at 6, and sick call is at 7. The boys leave for work at 8 and are in camp at 11:30, where they prepare for dinner at 12. They leave again for work at 1 p.m., and are back in camp at 4. They have the rest of the afternoon to their own divices. The boys do all of their camp work, including cooking and cleaning about the tents. No work is done on Saturdays and Sundays.
A team of all Washington boys, known as the Mountain, Bears played the Lynchburg, Va., Tigers, last Saturday, but were defeated, 8 to 6. The same two teams will play this Saturday. Jack Robinson pitched for the Bears, and Charles Wells was the catcher. The team is managed by F. P. Keragin, white, regular army officer.
CRUSHED AGAINST WALL
Crushed against a wall by an automobile, Charles Short, 45 of 1426 Sixth Street, Northwest, received a possible fracture of the right hip, Friday. He was taken to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment, and detained for further observation.
CASH PAYMENTS ARE BEING MADE ON BANK STOCK
Conservator Awaits Bank
Examiners' Report on
Status of Bank
Jesse W. Lewis, director of the
Industrial National Bank stock-
selling drive, reported Wednesday
night that the past week was, their
best in receiving cash and new
subscriptions to the stock.
He announced that a team of
house-to-house canvassers would
start Saturday, soliciting subscriptions
to the stock.
W. H. C. Brown, conservator of the Industrial Savings Bank, stated that the bank examiners had finished their examination of the bank and as soon as they make their report to the treasury department, he will be informed if the Industrial can accept subscriptions to stock, by depositors, and allocate a certain percentage of their impounded deposits to pay for their stock. Mr. Brown said that the Industrial was the last of the 13 conservator banks to be examined and that has retarded the announcement that subscriptions could be accepted from depositors in the Industrial upon their deposits.
Awaits Examiners' Report
The banks here are permitted to open on the Portland plan, which provides at least 50 per cent of the total deposits be made available in cash upon the opening day. Mr. Brown awaits the report of the examiners as to the status of the bank.
The business men and women of the city are being canvassed this week and a special meeting is planned for them for Thursday night of next week.
Mr. Brown, Mr. Lewis and Jesse H. Mitchell, chairman of the re-organization committee were very enthusiastic Wednesday night over the outlook.
Cash collections on stock subscriptions began on June 15, and Walter H. Carter, secretary of the campaign committee, reported that cash payments were coming in daily and that the people are demonstrating their desire for a Negro bank in Washington by their punctuality in paying their subscriptions. The conservator deposits continue to grow and the Industrial is rendering a service although limited in its operations.
Slasher Indicted and Convicted Within Day
Prisoners often complain of languageuizing in jail a long period of time after being indicted, but such is not the case with Albert Brown.
Indicted on a charge of assault shortly before moon, Wednesday, in connection with the cutting of Floretta Smithfi Brown was arraigned before Justice D. W. O'Donoghue, Thursday morning. He pleaded not guilty and elected to go to trial immediately. An hour later the jury found him guilty.
Usually such indictments are not triable for months because of a crowded docket. The criminal court docket, at present, however, has been brought up to date. Consequently, when Brown plead 'not guilty on arraignment, he was set down for immediate hearing.
TWO HURT IN FALLS
In a fall on Georgia Avenue, Northwest, Frances Boston, 25, of 406 V Street, Northwest, received minor body bruises, Friday. Ralph Jefferson, 7, of 149 U Street, orthwest, suffered a cut in his forehead when he fell at his home on the same day.

Death in the electric chair is the fate the three boys convicted of killing a park policeman in Logan Circle, will meet on August 22, as the result of a decision by the District Court of Appeals affirming their conviction. Monday, unless defense attorneys can stay the execution through an appeal to the Supreme Court of the United States.
The defense counsel, John H. Wilson, J. Flipper Dericotte, Samuel Levine, and Bernard Ades, the latter I.L.D. attorneys, were scheduled to go into a huddle. Thursday, to determine the next steps to take to save the lives of the condemned youths. Mr. Ades was in town for this purpose on Wednesday and Thursday.
The three men facing death, all in the District jail, are: Ralph E. Holmes, Irvin Murray, and Joseph Jackson. They were found guilty of having beaten to death Policeman Milo Kennedy, white, on August 7, 1932.
Charged with "Ganging"
At the original trial, the state charged them with having decided to "gang" Kennedy, after he had arrested Jackson, and then beat him to death with bricks and his club.
The appeal was argued before Chief Justice Martin, Associate Justices Van Ordel, Hitz, and Groner, June 8. The defense was represented by John H. Wilson, Samuel Levine, and J. Flipper Derricotte. The prosecution was by: Leo A. Rover, W. H. Collins, and J. J. Sirica. Justice Groner wrote the decision.
The appeal cited nine assignments of error during the original (Continued on page 11)

RAY
NOTED ACTOR AND PELHAM'S AUTO LEAVE TOGETHER
Disappear from Party at Benedict, Sunday; Car Found on F Street
The police are seeking Charles Ray, who is charged with taking an automobile at Benedict, Md., Sunday, without the permission of the owner.
Two cars containing seven people left Washington early Sunday morning for Benedict. One car belonged to and was driven by Fred (Mike) Pelham. Charles Ray was in the other car.

While away it is alleged that Ray, eraslittle master of ceremonies at Lincoln Theater, proceeded to be master of the affairs there. He is alleged to have searched Pelham's shirt from which he secured the keys to his car. Leaving unceremoniously and without the knowledge or consent of Pelham, Ray drove to Washington.
Mr. Pelham's car was found Monday afternoon in the 600 block of F Street, Northwest. He reported the affair to the police here, and a lookout was set for Ray.
It is learned that Ray has a fourteen weeks' engagement here soon, at a local theatre.

CAPITAL VIEW REALTY COMPANY
NAtional 9590 927 New York Avenue, N.W.
ATHENS, Ala.—The verdict of guilt returned against Haywood Patterson, one of the Scottsboro boys, two months ago by a Morgan County jury of white farmers and tradesmen was set aside June 22 by Circuit Judge James E. Horton, who ordered a new trial.
It was Judge Horton who at Decatur, sentenced Patterson to death in the electric chair at Kilby prison, in accordance with the mandate of the jury. Thursday he held that the jury's verdict was against the weight of the evidence.
The unsupported word of Mrs. Victoria Price, alleged victim of the attack which is supposed to have taken place March 25, 1931, aboard a Southern Railway freight train, Judge Horton held was insufficient evidence on which to condemn a man to death.
Not only did the Price woman's story contain improbabilities within itself, Judge Horton said, but it was flatly contradicted by the testimony of Ruby Bates, the other alleged victim of the assault, who testified for the defense at Decatur that the whole case was "a frame-up."
The judge pointed out also that at the first trial in Scottsboro, Orville Gilley, a white hobo, who was an alleged eye-witness on the freight train, was not called as a witness by the State although he was then in custody.
Second Reprieve From Death
For Patterson, who is in jail in Birmingham with his eight co-designers, the court's action constituted a second reprieve from a death sentence. Otherwise it did not change his status or that of the other defendants, who are still awaiting the new trials ordered for them by the higher courts.
Of the nine originally arrested by the posse that stopped the freight train at Paint Rock, eight were convicted at Scottsboro within a fortnight at their arrest. In the case of the ninth, Roy Wright, a juvenile, the jury disagreed. The Supreme Court of Alabama later set aside the verdict of guilty against Eugene Williams on the ground that be, too, was a juvenile.
Appeals were taken in the cases of the other seven defendants to the United States Supreme Court, which last November ordered new trials for all on the ground that they had been inadequately represented at Scottsboro. Patterson is the only one of the nine who has been retrieved thus far.
Judge Horton's ruling on last Thursday will prevent a review of Alabama's jury system by the higher courts as it removes the necessity for an appeal. Samuel Leibowitz, chief trial counsel for Patterson, spent days in an effort to prove that Negroes were deprived of their constitutional right to serve on juries in Alabama and was planning to make that the basis of a second appeal to the United States Supreme Court.
Decatur Court Busy
The reason that Judge Horton sat here to entertain the defense motion for a new trial was that the court room at Decatur was being used by another judge. He heard no argument, but as soon as the papers were before him, he began reading his opinion, a document covering 108 typewritten pages which took him an hour and five minutes to read. Before he had turned the first page of his opinion, smiles of satisfaction appeared on the faces of George W. Chamlee and Osmond Fraenkel, the defense attorneys who had come prepared to argue for something they did not expect to get.
Attorney General gvygcz
Thomas E. Knight, Jr., the young Attorney General listened tensely with mounting color. He made it clear that he intended to fight. In a voice that trembled slightly, he declared that the State was ready to proceed at once with a new trial of Patterson and asked that it be set down on the calendar for the earliest possible date.
which probably would be about September 1.
Summary of Opinion
The following are excerpts from Judge Horten's Opinion;
"As human life is at stake, not only of this defendant, but of eight others, the court does and should approach consideration of this motion with a feeling of deep responsibility. Deliberate injustice is more fatal to the one who imposes it than to the one on whom it is imposed."
"The testimony of the prosecutrix (Victoria Price) in this case is not only uncorroborated but it also bears on its face indications of improbability and is contradicted by other evidence and in addition thereto the evidence greatly preponderates in favor of the defendant."
Judge Horton said further:
"History, sacred and profane, and the common experience of mankind teaches that women of the character shown in this case are prone for selfish reasons to make false accusations both of rape and of insult upon the slightest provocation" or even without provocation for ulterior purposes. "These women are shown, by the great weight of evidence, on this very day before leaving Chattanooga to have falsely accused two Negroes of insulting them. . . . The tendency on the part of the women shows they are predisposed to make false accusations upon any occasion whereby their selfish ends may be gained."
No Fact in Corroboration
Dealing further with Mrs. Price's testimony, Judge Horton said:
"With seven boys present at the beginning of this trouble, with one seeing the entire affair, with some fifty or sixty persons meeting them at Paint Rock and taking the women, the white boy, Gilley, and the nine Negroes in charge, with two physicians examining the women within one and one-half hours, according to the tendency of all the evidence, after the alleged occurrence of the alleged rape, and with the actions charged committed in broad daylight, we should expect foe mall this cloud be witnesses or from the mute but telling physical condition of the women or their clothes, some one fact in corroboration of this story."
Doctor's Testimony Stressed
A considerable part of Judge Horton's opinion was devoted to a —MORE— review of the testimony of D. R. R. Bridges, the Scottsboro physician who examined the girls after the alleged attack and who was called as a witness by the State. The doctor's testimony that he found the girls' nervous reactions normal and that he said no wounds such as Victoria Price said had been inflicted in her scalp with a pistol butt should be taken into consideration. Judge Horton said. The judge expressed the opinion that the condition in which the doctor found the girls could have resulted as easily from their conduct with white hoboes in Chattanooga as from any assaults by Negroes. Evidence had been offered by the defense, he pointed out, to show that the girls spent the night before the arrest of the Negroes with men in "a hobo dive."
"Those few blue spots and the scratches," said the opinion, "would be the natural consequence of such living. Vastly greater physical signs would have been expected from an attack."
Results of Examinations
Continuing, the opinion stated: "Dr. Bridges said when these two women were brought into his office neither was hysterical, or nervous about it at all. He noticed nothing unusual about their respiration and their pulse was normal. "Such a normal physical condition is not the natural accompaniment or result of such a horrible experience, especially when the women testified she fainted from the injuries she had received.
National Association Teachers to Meet in Louisville
LOUISVILLE, Ky.—The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, will hold its 29th annual session at Louisville Aug. 1-14. The organization will be the guests this year of the Kentucky Negro Teachers' Association one of the livest and most virile of the state educational organizations. The organization met here before in 1909...
President Francis M. Wood of Baltimore public schools has announced that he has prepared an interesting program for the occasion which will bring to the meeting some of the foremost educators of the country.
Executive Secretary W. W. Sanders has worked diligently this year in spite of the economic conditions which have affected teach- the country over. Some instances are reported of teachers in southern counties who have received only one check during the year because of the poverty of the counties there.
"The fact that the women were unchaste might tend to mitigate the marked effect upon their sensibilities, but such hardness would also lessen the probability of either of them fainting. If her faint was feigned then here credibility must suffer from such feigned actions. "And this witness's anger and protest when the doctors insisted upon an examination of her person was not compatible with the depression of spirit likely to be caused by the treatment she said she had received."
Reviewing the evidence of Orey Dobbins, a farmer near Stevenson, who testified that he saw a fight aboard the train and a woman dragged back into a car, the judge said:
"It corroborates Victoria Price slightly, at all, and her evidence is so contradictory to the evidence of the doctors who examined her that it has been impossible for the court, to reconcile this evidence with hers."
Declaring the crime was usually one of secrecy, Judge Horton pointed out the Negroes were accused of having committed it in broad daylight in an open condola car passing through half a dozen small towns.
"Orville Gilley, a white boy, pulled back on the train by the Negroes, and sitting off, according to Victoria Price, is a witness to the whole scene," said Judge Horton.
"Yet he stays on the train and does not attempt to get off the car at any of the places where it slows down.
"He does not go back to the caboose to report to the conductor or to the engineer on the engine, although no compulsion is being exercised upon him, and instead of there being any threat of danger to him from the Negroes, they themselves have pulled him back on the train to prevent him from being injured from jumping off the train after it had increased its speed.
"And, in the end, by a fortuitous circumstance, just before the train pulls into Pairt Rock, the attacks cease and just in the nick of time the clothing is restored and the women appear clothed as the posse sights them. The natural inclination of the mind is to doubt and to seek further."
Credibility of Witnesses
Regarding the credibility of Mrs. Price, the judge said:
"Her manner of testifying and demeanor on the stand militate against her. Her testimony was contradictory, often evasive and time and again she refused to answer pertinent questions. The gravity of the offense and the importance of her testimony demand candor and sincerity.
"In considering any evidence for the defendant which would tend to show Mrs. Price swore falsely, the court will exclude the evidence of witnesses for the defendant, who themselves appear unworthy of credit, unless the facts and circumstances so strongly corroborate that evidence that it appears true."
Turning to Lester Carter, the hobo who testified that he and one Jack Tiller spent a night in the woods with Ruby Bates and Victoria Price before the Chattanooga journey. Judge Horton said:
"Whether or not he is entitled to entire credit is certainly a question
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1933
Monroe Retired Involuntarily After 42 Years as School Aid
Veteran Clerk Will Devote Time to Library of Rare Volumes; Lauds Associates at the Franklin Administration Building
By E. W. BAKER
With training, study, and research work which peculiarly fit him to match wits with the best legal minds, and debate important historical facts covering an anon, Louis Monroe, veteran clerk of the board of education, is retiring Friday (today), after 42 years of continuous service.
Carrying on his shoulders only 58 years, 1 month, 14 days, active in body, super-active in mind, Mr. Monroe is not retiring on his own volition. His position as clerk was abolished under the "New Deal" Economy Act, and his retirement is labeled "involuntary."
Something of his magnanimity of spirit can be gleaned from his musings on his retirement to the writer.
Glad to Go
"I am glad indeed to be selected to go," he said. "Some one had to go, and I am glad that it was my lot." Despite the statement, it is not difficult even for a novice to see that Mr. Monroe regrets having to sever his business relationships at the Franklin Administration Building, where he is held in the highest esteem and regarded as a virtual authority on school history. He may be retiring, but he "will never leave the friends at the Franklin Building." Mr. Monroe declares with emphasis.
Ludus Secretary Hine
"They all have been the best friends that any man could have all through life." Mr. Monroe continued. "In my 42 years' service with the Board of School Trustees, supplanted by the Board of School Commissioners, I have-found many kind friends. Especially do I mention Mr. Harry Hine (present secretary of the board), although one should not be named without naming the others, because all are my very good friends.
Has Rare Library
As he paced among his four tons of race books, the retiring clerk was asked the excusable question of how he was going to pass away his time.
"I'm just going to rest for a while," he mused, "I haven't made any definite plans."
Quizzed further, Mr. Monroe expressed an interest in writing biographical sketches of distinguished colored men and one of Lord Brougham, white, once the Lord Chancellor of England.
Books Cover Wide Scope
Mr. Monroe's library, popularly stated to be one of the best private collections, contains almost priceless and autographed copies of first editions, exquisitely bound. It is very noticeable that they deal, for the most part, with biographies and histories. There is no distinguished American or Englishman, who is not represented. Then there are histories of the world, Grecian Civilization, the trial of an English queen, valued at $50, and literary works. The works of no prominent person are omitted from the collection. Mr. Monroe's particular training and his hobby is the study of law. His volumes of the American Bar are valued at $75. Many educational leaders and governmental officials have inspected the veteran clerk's library at his residence, 737 Florida Avenue, Northwest, and marvelled at its inexhaustive scope.
Mr. Monroe was born in Washington on May 16, 1875, and received his early education in the of doubt, but where facts and circumstances corroborate him, and where the failure of the State to disprove his testimony, with witnesses at hand to disprove it, the court sees no reason to capriciously reject all he said."
Leibowitz Congratulates South
Samuel S. Leibowitz, the New York lawyer who defended Patterson at Decatur, issued the following statement upon receiving word of Judge Horton's decision.
"The South is to be congratulated in having as one of its jurists that courageous, brilliant lawyer, James E. Horton. From the very start I felt that the courts of Alabama would never uphold the verdict of guilty rendered by the jury in the Decatur courtroom on Paul Sunday last. I was convinced of the innocence of these poor Negro boys even before I accepted the case.
"In view of the judge's pronouncement I cannot see how the other cases can be prosecuted further. I am glad for the sake of the poor parents of these boys who have undoubtedly undergone as much, if not more, torture than the boys themselves."
Since the announcement of Judge Horton's ruling, press dispatches state that Orvile Gilley, whom the prosecution asserted could not be located at the time of the second trial of Patterson, has been found and is ready to testify to having seen the crimes committed.
Also former United States Senator Thomas J. Heflin has offered his services to Attorney General Thomas E. Knight in an effort to prevent Judge James E. Horton from hearing future trials.

public schools of the city. He entered the school system at the tender age of 16 years, 1 months, and 15 days, on July 1, 1891. Dr. W. B. Powell, then superintendent of schools, employed the youth and promised him an opportunity to complete his education under his (the superintendent's) tutelage.
Superintendent Aids Study
The ambitious youth was given a reading course by Dr. Powell, and he pursued it at odd moments as he drove the superintendent's horse and buggy about on official business. Dr. Powell guided him for "many years" in his studies. Later, the young man entered the Law and Forensic Institute, conducted by the late Congressman John Mercer Langston.
It is said of Mr. Monroe that the Honorable Mr. Langston referred to him as the "Daniel Webster of the law class," because of his oratorical ability. Tracy L. Jeffords, distinguished attorney, a member of the bar then, and practicing now, was quiz master of Mr. Monroe for more than 14 months.
Gets Salary Increase
All the while Mr. Monroe retained his position with the school system. In 1900, he was appointed custodian of the text books. In 1907, Mr. Monroe was appointed messenger again with an increase in salary. In 1920, one of the first acts of Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent, and Dr. J. H. Johnson, board member, was to promote Mr. Monroe to the clerkship, which he has retained for the past 13 years.
Married Two Sisters
The retiring school employee has been married twice, and has the rare experience of having wedded two sisters. He lost a child in 1906, and his first wife in 1907. Mr. Monroe married the sister of the deceased wife, with whom he is now growing gracefully older, in 1911, or 22 years ago.

LIGHTNING KILLS WOMAN TRYING TO CLOSE WINDOW
Bolt also Hurts Daughter and Zigzags Through Southeast Home
Death-dealing lightning instantly killed a woman who was attempting to close a window at her home when it struck, and injured the woman's daughter, Tuesday.
The dead woman is Mrs. Lily Harley, 41, of 1818 Gainsville Street, Southeast. The girl injured was Bernice Harley, age 16.
The bolt first tore away several feet of planking from the eaves of the Harley home. It then ripped straight downward and through a second floor window which Mrs. Harley was trying to close to keep out the furious rainstorm. As the woman collapsed the bolt struck and slightly injured the daughter, standing nearby.
The lightning then zig-zagged through the house, knocking down plaster in several places. Neighbors rushed the burned and frightened Bernice to Providence Hospital, where her injuries were declared slight. When the fire apparatus and a Casualty Hospital ambulance reached the scene, Mrs. Harley had expired.
NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL OUT TO GET $4,000
By Nannie H. Burroughs,
President, National Training
School for Women and Girls
In these days of general financial difficulties among all classes of people, the gifts to the Training School have become almost negligible. What shall we do to be saved? That's the question.
Shall we give up? Shall we sit down and wait until something turns up? No never! We are not made of that kind of stuff. We are up and going—out into the highways and hedges and begging people for nothing in the world but the wrappers from Oetagon Soap Products, Borden's Premium Brand Milks, and Kirkman's Soap Products.
Some people are saving them to get premiums. They will give them gladly to help build up this institution for our girls. Some people do not use these products, but since they are as god as those which they are using, they will change to help a worthy cause. Grocers will put these products on their shelves, if you ask them to do it. We can pay our most pressing obligations with soap wrappers.
The manufacturers will give us four thousand dollars in cash in return for one million coupons. Every man, woman, and child can give coupons. People who have never helped the institution when we are begging for money have a grand and glorious chance to help now, because we are asking for soap wrappers and labels that most of them throw away.
This appeal is sent to our friends throughout the country in the hope that every mail will bring us responses from thousands of people who believe in helping those who are willing to help themselves.
Owners of Dogs Urged to Get Licenses by July

DISCRIMINATION AT WORLD'S FAIR TO BE CHECKED
Superintendent of Operations Says He Won't Tolerate Drawing Color Line
CHICAGO. (ANP)—Isham Randolph, superintendent of operations at the Century of Progress, confronted Wednesday by representatives of the African and American Negro Exhibit Society and The Select Travel Bureau in his offices at the Administration Building, expressed the desire to eliminate any discrimination or injustices to persons of color that may arise on the fair grounds.
Interviewing Colonel Randolph were William E. Borg, burg, sponsor for the African and American Negro Exhibit Society; W. T. Baiey, an architect and official of the society; Nat Rogan, of the Select Travel Bureau, and a reporter from the Associated Negro Press.
The interview was effected because the travel bureau proposes to bring a large group of colored visitors to Chicago, and wanted the assurance that none of their guests would be discriminated against in the restaurants.
At the present time there are several discrimination suits pending against restaurant owners on the fair grounds.
William E. Borg acted as spokesman. Col. Randolph stated that he would call at concessionaries owning restaurants together. "They may as well face this thing now," he said.
The conferences faced the situation without beating around the bush. Col. Randolph stated that it was not the intention of the fair to discriminate against any one in regard to color or race, and that steps would be taken to eliminate any future embarrassment to Negroes. Colonel Randolph is a Virginian and commanded a colored battalion overseas.

Richardson claims that the defendants combined to bet the property back and swore that the deed signing, was a deed of trust.
Richardson was arrested on a charge of false pretenses as a result and convicted on March 6, 1932, to two years' imprisonment at Lorton, Va. He was recently released on parole.
Richardson is also reported to have asked District Attorney Leo A. Rover to present his charges of perjury against the defendants to the grand jury for investigation.

AGED MILLIONAIRE CANCELS $185,000 IN OVERDUE RENTS
Couldn't Collect Anyway, He Says, But Tenants Must Pay Hereafter
CINCINNATI.—An order went out Saturday from the dusty desk of William P. Devon, eccentric millionaire, which amounts to a gift of $185,000 to 2000 Negro families living in 450 dwellings. With one impatient gesture Devou cancelled that sum in back rents, then divested himself of a comment:
"This doesn't mean I'm getting soft in my old age."
Devou is 76 years old. He lives in the tenement section himself and his quarters are windowless, illuminated by gas and brightened only by his love of operas which he plays on an expensive phonograph. He is worth about $4,000,000.
The aged capitalist said: "I figured I couldn't collect this rent anyway. They've got nothing you can attach, so trying to collect would lead to argument only, and I don't want argument. What was owed me before June 1 goes off the books.
"But from now on they pay or get out."
Devou took a tuck in the sleeve of his blue denim shirt, summoned up a cold look and skirted close to sentiment, as he added:
"Well, if they make an honest effort to get work, I'm willing to be reasonable."
Lindburgh Estate to Be Devoted to Welfare of Children
NEW YORK—The New Jersey home of the Lindburghs, the scene of the tragedy that took the life of their first born, will be devoted to welfare work for children. The colonel and his wife have turned the estate over to a nonprofit-making corporation which they have formed and whose object is "to provide for the welfare of children, including their education, training, hospitalization and other allied purposes, without discrimination in regard to race or creed." It was announced briefly from the office of Colonel Henry Breckinridge, Colonel Lindbergh's attorney, that the project has not been developed with sufficient definiteness to date, to admit an announcement of the specific plans.

Charges that a traffic policeman
forced a passenger in a taxicab to
buy a $1 ticket to/a scheduled base-
ball game between the police of the
District and Baltimore were made
to Major Ernest W. Brown, sup-
erintendent of Metropolitan Police,
by the National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People,
this, week.
Charles B, Murray, 2535 Georgia
Avenue, Northwest, driver of the
cab, preferred the charges against
the, officer, Howard M, Overstreet.
. Passengers Threatened
Overstreet, who is stationed most
of the time at Ninth and U Streets,
| Northwest, is alleged to have made
_ the’ passenger buy the ticket to the
game) under threat of taking the
driver and the passenger to a pre-
cinet station, charging them with
some’ infraction of trattic law.
Murray claims that he was driv:
ing his cab inthe vicinity of Geor-
gia Avenue and Seventh Street,
Northwest, Saturday, about 9:25
p.m., when the offices jumped ‘on
the running board and handed him
a ticket for the game which is to
take ‘place July 4.
He ‘told the officer that -he did
not lave the price of the ticket;
then the policeman turned to two
Passengers in his machine. and
stated, “If one of you guys don’t
buy that ticket I am going to carry
your driver around to No. 2, and
he will pay $3 instead of $1.”
Passenger Gave Cop $1
Murray said he remonstrated
with the policeman and asked him
why he should be arrested. Over-
street is then alleged to have told
Murray that the rear light on the
left side of the cab was out. The
officer was told that it must have
recently burned out as it was burn-
ing a short while before, and be-
sides he had two lights on the rear;
the right hand one was burning and
he could change bulbs in a sec-
and.
Despite this Overstreet is said to
have told him, “the only way out
is to buy this ticket.” He again
told the officer he did not have the
price of the ticket and saw no rea-
son for being arrested. One of the
passengers at this point handed
Overstreet the money and Murray
went to police headquarters, where
the incident was reported. At
headquarters: he was told by an of-
ficer, “What are you kicking about,
the officer has given you a break.”
Overstreet Gets Mad
About’an hour later near the cor-
ner where he was first stopped
Overstreet accosted him again and
is alleged to have demanded the
ticket back, and cursed him for
having been to headquarters.
“What in the h— do you mean by
going to headquarters and trying
to make it hard for me? I will
have 1,400 police officers on to the
number of your car everytime you
turn a corner,” the, officer is said
to_have remarked,
Murray said he refused to give
up the ticket and turned it over to
A, S. Pinkett, secretary of the local
N,A.A.C.P. branch.
The passengers in the car were
J. M. Gentry, 730 Gresham -Place,

Permanent Alimony
Torrid’ charges -and voluminous

are contained in. the petition for a
limited divorce. by the mother of a
four-year-old child against her
husband, and the. latter's -answer.
filed recently in the District, Su-
preme Court.
After summing.up her grievanc-
cs, Mrs, Cora Mae Harris, 29, of
1625 S Street, Northwest, asked the
court to ofder Vanderbilt Harris,
36, of 757 Morton Street, North-
west, to pay her alimony pending
the proceedings, then permanent
alimony and allow her custody of
the child, Richard Jonathan Har-
ris,
In his answer, the husband took
sharp issue with practically’ every
one of the wife's allegations.
Mrs. Harris complained that
while she was in a delicate state of
health in February, 1928, he beat
her about the head and body. Har-
ris denies this.
Hubby Taken to Court
The wife further complained that
during the past February, Harris
did brutally beat her, and was
found guilty in Police Court. Har-
ris denies the beating and avers
that because of the irrational, ir-
regular, and unruly conduct. of the
wife trouble ensued and she had
him arrested. His personal bond
was taken in court.
Mrs. Harris stated further that
she forgave the husband for his
beatings on condition that he would
cease such treatment, Harris for-
got himself, she declared, on April
27, past, and gave her a thrashing.
This caused permanent separation.
Said She Had Tantrums
‘The husband’s version of this in
cident was that his wife had one of
her periodic “tantrums.” When he
refused to submit to unfair. de-
mands, the wife became excited
and chased him with a knife.
Supporting her’ claim for ali
mony, the petitioner declared she
was living on. the charity of her
aged mother, that she feared for
her life to go to het former home
to get her clothes,
The husband countered with a
statement that since leaving her
home Mrs. Harris had bought on
his account at a local store three
dresses, two skirts, and other ar-
ticles costing around $25, He
averred that he is_ willing for his
wife to return to look after their
child, provided she would submit to
proper medical attention, and en-
deavor to conduct herself. in a fair,
proper, and conSiderate manner,
Certain statements by Mrs. Har-
ris regarding her husband’s income
and real estate holdings were de-
nied by the latter.
Has No $4,000 in Bank
He admitted owning the premises
at 1510 Eighth Street, Northwest,
from which he receives $40 per
month rent. Harris denied his
equity, in the premises at'757 Mor-
ton Steet, where, he now resides, is
134,200. According to ‘him, it is on-
ly $2,500, He also denied having a
$4,000 bank account.
‘Mrs. Harris declared her husband
was earning. $25 weekly as garage
attendant. The~husband retorted
that the wife knew the garage had
closed down in March, and that he
had been unemployed’ since. Har-
ris only received $22.50 then, he re-
| plied.
Denies Additional Incomes
‘The husband also denied’ receiv-
ing $20-per month rent for rooms
at the Morton Street house; that
Dr, D.A. Powell stored his Pack-
ard in the garage and paid him
rental,
Mrs. Harris further claimed that
her husband. worked for «Dr.
‘|Koons, but she ‘did not know how
much additional he received. The
husband cleared this up in his an-
swer, stating that he received
|| $2.50 monthly for cleaning and pol-
ishing the doctor’s cat; in the win-
|ter he gets $5 per month for tend-
Jing the fires and shoveling the
| walks for Dr. Koons.
| When Mrs, Harris called atten-
tion to the fact that her’ husband
Jowned one car, the defendant went
her one better and admitted owner-
ship of two cars.
One he said is a Model T Ford
coupe of the vintage of 1924, and
the other is a truck, Model T, of
| the issue of 1922. /
Mr. Harris requested the court
to dismiss the petition, refuse the
| appeal for the custody of the child
and that of permanent alimony.

Where Are Our Economic Mentors?
Hearings were begun Tuesday of this week in this city on the industrial "code" of rules and regulations under which the textile industry wishes to work, in partnership, as it were, with the government, under the recently passed economic recovery act.
The code if approved by the President will practically have the effect of law, binding on all employers and workers in the cotton textile industry.
Moreover, it is generally understood that the precedents set for the industry, the first to submit a code, will have important bearing on codes for other industries yet to be formulated.
The hearing is being conducted under the National Recovery Administration, of which Brig. General Hugh S. Johnson is the head. In attendance are so-called advisory boards, representing, ostensibly, the industry, labor and the consumers, respectively. At the opening session, General Johnson, referring to these boards, said:
"These groups are sitting as a tribunal to see that no person who might be affected can say after the hearings that anything was done without regard for the interests of all."
The vital matters, of course, are hours of labor and wage scales of workers—that is, minimum wages. Concerning these matters, the proposed code stipulates:
2. On and after the effective date, the minimum wage that shall be paid by employers in the cotton textile industry to any of their unskilled employees—except learners during a six weeks' apprenticeship, cleaners and outside employees—shall be at the rate of $10 per week when employed in the Southern section of the industry and at the rate of $11 per week when employed in the Northern section for forty hours of labor.
It would seem that a minimum wage of ten dollars per week would be low enough, for any adult worker, even in the South, yet "cleaners and outside employees" are excepted from that provision, with no minimum at all set for them. Not only that, but Section 3 of the code leaves their minimum hours per week unregulated.
Now, when it is remembered that the few Negroes who are employed in the industry, in the South, at least, are in these excepted classes, it will be seen that, unless some so far undiscovered agency voices our cause in this and in subsequent code hearings, the recovery act will mean little to us. It may in fact mean our very undoing—unless and until some better economical and industrial system is put into effect.
In view of our small representation in this particular industry, we may not be in a position to demand that one of the six persons on the advisory board be colored, but it might be proper to suggest to the Urban League or one of our national bodies to have some one or more persons present to speak for us—at least in some of the hearings yet to come.
One spokesman for labor, William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, is striving to have the minimum wage rate raised and maximum hours per week lessened; and Thomas F. McMahon, of the United Federation of Textile Workers, at the hearing on Wednesday objected to the exemption of cleaners and outside workers from the wage scale, on the ground that such exemption was in effect the setting of no minimum at all. Indirectly, the latter objection inclines in our favor.
Where are the speakers and essayists and advisers who were conspicuous at the recent conference on the economic status of the Negro?
Brisbanalities
Arthur Brisbane, columnist for the Hurst papers, blurs out:
Judge Horton, of Athens, Ala., setting aside the conviction and death penalty imposed on James E. Patterson, a young Negro, says: "The testimony of the prosecutrix in this case is not only uncorroborated, it also bears on its face indications of improbability, and is contradicted by other evidence."
This indicates that it is not necessary for an accused man to seek for justice elsewhere.
Brisbane's superficial knowledge of this case is reflected in the name he assigns to the defendant; nor does he seem to know how Judge Horton got into the case nor about the fight up to and through the U. S. Supreme Court in an effort, not yet ended, to force Alabama to accord these boys "justice" which yet seems far off.
What gives some importance to his Brisbanealities (as some writer has called his presumptive pronouncements on every imaginable subject) is that thousands of the newspaper-wise populace drink in his supposed oracularities daily.
Cui Bono?
According to a statement issued by Chairman William F. Stevenson of the Federal Home Loan Bank board, it would seem that the law, heralded as one destined to give wide relief of home buyers and owners, will be a disappointment to many.
The joker in the measure—or in its interpretation—will be seen in this extract from the statement:
"Home owners in the District, Maryland and Virginia (and other states as well), must be in distress and in need of emergency relief to come within the provisions of the new law," the statement said.
"Applicants who wish merely to refinance their mortgage indebtedness, and are not in danger of foreclosures, should not make applications for Federal aid. Such aid can be extended only to those who are unable to amortize their debt elsewhere."
And that isn't all that gives us pause. The article carrying the chairman's statement says:
Loans are to be made to distressed home owners through the Home Owners Loan Corporation, which will be under supervision of the board, but the work of which will be carried out through local managers named for each of the 48 states and the District.
Until these managers are named and rules and regulations and loans application blanks are printed and the necessary assistants selected by the local managers, applications for loans must wait, Mr. Stevenson said.
All loans must be passed on by the local organizations which will include attorneys and appraisers and, when approved by them, must be sent to Washington for final approval.
From these extracts it will be seen that the transactions under the law will not be business transactions at all, but will be a matter of local favoritism and pull and haul.
It will probably work out as the charity relief has worked out in many, if not all localities. For example, in New York City, as testimony published in the New York Times a few weeks ago showed, renters, seeking help to prevent eviction, were told that they need not apply until their effects had actually been put into the street. Well, may we propound the juridical question: Cui bono? (Who benefits?).
Liberia's Crisis
In another column will be found the first of a series of articles which are copied from a booklet of thirty-three pages written by Henry Litchfield West, who is president of the American Colonization Society. This booklet which is published by the society bears the significant title, "The Liberian Crisis." The first chapter, which is headed, "Liberia, the Nation's Ward," is devoted to a short sketch of the founding of Liberia and to statements and quotations designed to show the correctness of the chapter's title.
In the second chapter, headed, "American Philanthropy and Industry," there is a brief sketch of the founding and status of several denominational missions and schools (though colored denominational work is scarcely mentioned) and the outline of the activities of the Firestone Company with a mention of the loan to Liberia. The parts relating to the Firestone Company and its loan and other matters leading up to the so-called "crisis," in this chapter and in subsequent chapters of the booklet will be laid before our readers.
Mr. West defends the various steps taken by the United States government and the Firestone Company in the loan controversy, and his presentation as a whole may be regarded as an answer to the articles in the last two issues of The Tribune from the pen of Ben N. Azikiwe, a native of West Africa, now professor of political economy at Lincoln (Pa.) University.
Besides the articles in our columns last week and the previous week by Professor Azikiwe, which appeared originally in the Philadelphia Tribune, there is an article by him in the June issue of the Southern Workman (published at Hampton Institute) on the same matter, but treated from a somewhat different viewpoint. A part of it is reproduced in another column as a sort of supplement to the articles already published.
Scottsboro Case Not Ended
Notwithstanding the complete smashing of the frame-up of the Scottsboro boys by the searching analysis of the case by Judge Horton in his opinion when reversing the verdict of the jury in the second conviction of Haywood Patterson, the state's attorney is ready, so he says, to proceed against Patterson in a third trial immediately.
He has suddenly "found" the white boy who is said to have witnessed the alleged crimes in the gondola car, but who was not put on the witness stand at the first trial in 1931, nor could he be located at the time of Patterson's second trial last April.
The boy's testimony will be relied upon to offset all the inconsistencies, contradictions, and improbabilities in the prosecution's case which were painstakingly pointed out by Judge Horton in his opinion.
It now seems possible, if not probable, that, had the judge suspected an unfavorable verdict at the trial last April, he would have taken the case from the jury and dis-

Decline of Negro Farm Population Is Matter of Significance
The Race Lost 4,296 Square Miles of Farm Ownership During the Past Decade.
The Census Office has just issued a bulletin under the above caption, based on the fifteenth Census. Charles E. Hall, the well-known Negro statistician who for many years has been connected with the Census Office, is author of this interesting bulletin. Mr. Hall has done a very interesting and valuable piece of work. He is undoubtedly our best authority on Negro statistics, especially as related to the Negro farmer.
This bulletin is valuable in that it brings together the last census data on this much discussed subject and puts them in easily usable form. It is interesting to note that the Negro farm population declined by 445,346, or by five per cent during the past decade. In the meantime the total population increased by 1,423,000. The overwhelming city rush is indicated by these figures.

charged the accused. At any rate—whether the recent decision of Judge Horton was due to mass pressure or "a decent respect to the opinions of mankind"—a movement has been started to have the cases moved to some court outside of his jurisdiction.
Ex-Senator Tom Heflin, who gained notoriety as a Negro-baiter while in office, has rushed into print with an offer to assist in such a move. He evidently thinks that there is not another fair-minded and brave judge in Alabama. It may be that he is right.

The Liberian Crisis
By HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST President, American Colonization Society (Extract from booklet published by the society.)
PART I.
There is another important American interest in Liberia which, if allowed to develop, is destined to lift the Republic out of the siege of inaction and unprogressiveness. When the territory which is now Liberia had been settled for one hundred years, during which time, however, nothing had been done by the Liberians in the way of commercial development, an event occurred in England which had an utterly unforeseen effect upon Liberia's future.
In 1922, when Great Britain was producing seventy-five per cent of the world's rubber supply and the United States was consuming seventy per cent, Great Britain deliberately threw shackles around the American rubber industry by enacting a law known as the Stevenson act by which the production of rubber under the British flag was restricted to a point where the demand would exceed the supply and thereby create artificially high prices for rubber.
This desired and selfish result was reached in emphatic fashion. Shortly before the rubber restriction act went into effect rubber was selling for fourteen cents a pound. It reached its peak at $1.23 a pound in 1926. Largely dependent upon the British product at British prices, American citizens, during the years the plan was in operation, paid $1,250,000,000 more for their rubber than they would otherwise have paid if the price had remained the same as before the rubber restriction law was passed. Rubber is now selling at five cents a pound.
An Enormous Burden
The enormous burden thus imposed upon the United States, tremendously increasing the cost of highway transportation, naturally attracted intense interest in Congress and a law was unanimously passed appropriating $500,000 for an investigation of the rubber supply of the world. Government agencies, however, inevitably move slowly.
Meanwhile, therefore, Harvey S. Firestone of Akron, O., decided to become aggressively active in combating the British monopoly by an endeavor to develop rubber plantations in some country free from foreign domination and control. This was a task not to be accomplished over night. It took nearly three years of exhaustive investigation to finally determine the best place for Americans to grow their own rubber. In the fall of 1926 a party of Americans, led by Harvey S. Firestone, Jr., landed at Monrovia, were accorded an official welcome by the President's military aide, were carried across the bar in open surf boats, and then they set their feet upon Liberian soil.
While the missionaries had travelled to Liberia to preach the gospel these men had come as the heralds of industry. They had enthusiasm, optimism and, above all, American energy and pluck. They came not as conquerors to destroy but as harbingers of a new era of economic development for Liberia. They came to transform an unproductive wilderness into a revenue-producing plantation.
A Remarkable Romance
The story of these men and what they have accomplished is one of the most remarkable romances of modern times. They had made a circuit of the globe—Philippines, Malay Peninsula, Sumatra, Java, Borneo, Ceylon, Mexico, and Brazil—in order to find a spot where rubber might best be grown by Americans upon a gigantic scale.
Certain conditions were essential. The locality must be within 600 miles of the equator, where heat and moisture were properly intermingled, and above all, a soil whereon rubber would thrive. Liberia seemed to be ideal. There were vast areas of virgin jungle which could be transformed into forests of rubber trees; there was an abundance of native labor, unskilled but willing and industrious; two thousand acres planted with rubber trees in 1910 had demonstrated the adaptability of climate and soil, and, furthermore, Liberia was located only a few hundred miles further from the United States than England and 6,000 miles nearer to New York than the rubber lands of the Far East.
There was something above and beyond all these material advantages. Liberia had been settled with the aid of the United States. its Constitution was closely modelled after our own and its flag was very similar to ours. During all the years of the life of the Republic the American government had extended the aegis of its protection—had, in fact, regarded Liberia as its foster-child. Liberia on her part had preserved her independence, and the native tribes, generally speaking, had been docile and content. With the United States always in the background exercising watchful care over its ward, future security for American investment seemed assured.
selection of location and relying upon the ties of friendship and tradition which had always existed between Liberia and the United States, the Firestone Company entered into an agreement to lease one million acres for ninety-nine years, paying six cents annually for every acre selected for cultivation. A million acres is fifteen hundred square miles. Here was land enough for the greatest rubber plantation in the world. American courage, enterprise and capital had started the United States on the way to rubber independence. It is easy to say that ten million rubber trees have already been planted on 55,000 acres of land, but the brief sentence cannot possibly visualize the immense expenditure of time, labor and money required to accomplish this feat. Did-you ever see an African jungle?
For days and weeks and months and even years a force of thousands of natives—at one time there were 18,000 on the daily payroll—fought their way inch by inch through an almost impenetrable mass of tangled vegetation with machetes and axes. When the ground was cleared the fallen vines and trees were allowed to rest until the dry season and then were burned. After this came the planting of young rubber trees and the grafting onto them of buds from the finest latex-producing stock of the Far East.
Modern Improvements
During all the years that this work was in progress more money was expended in Liberia than for any like period in the country's history. The river Du, which was to be the artery of transportation from the plantation to the coast, a narrow stream winding its way through a wilderness, had to be cleared and made navigable; one hundred miles of road were constructed and they are in excellent condition today, after years of constant use in wet and dry seasons; comfortable, sanitary and modern-equipped houses were erected; a hospital, which in construction and subsequent maintenance has involved an outlay of $250,000, was provided. Even a radio station was installed in order that there might be daily communication with the outside world.
A stupendous enterprise, which up to date represents an investment of over $8,000,000. Away out there in the interior of Liberia the ten million rubber trees are living monuments of American courage and audacity. There was a thrill when I landed at Monrovia in remembering how the original colonists crossed the seas and conquered a home in a foreign land. I had even a greater thrill as I was driven over miles and miles of roads between countless rubber trees—I did not know there were so many rubber trees in the world—in the thought that almost limitless stretches of virgin jungle were attacked by simple weapons held in human hands and made to minister to the wants of the world. Above and beyond this physical accomplishment is the knowledge that the natives who did the work were treated as human beings, were free to come and go as they would, and that when an International Commission inquired into labor conditions in Liberia the Firestone Company was given a clean bill of health.
That $5,000,000 Loan
Hitherto-neglected Liberia was thus given a place in the sun, but this was not the only blessing that was bestowed. The Republic needed money and as previously stated, America came to the rescue with an offer of a loan of $5,000,000, relying upon the good faith and honesty of the Republic, as expressed in a solemn written agreement, for repayment. Has this faith been realized? On the contrary, instead of gratitude and appreciation for all that has been done and help in time of need, there has come repudiation.
The millions of American capital poured into Liberia are at this moment in serious jeopardy. Everything may be swept away.
But that, as Kipling says, is another story.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Liberia Declares a Moratorium
The economic depression which has engulfed the world for the last four years has intensified the financial problems of the Republic of Liberia so that its Legislature has authorized suspension of payment of interest and sinking fund on the Seven Per Cent Gold Loan of 1926 negotiated with the Finance Corporation of America, a subsidiary of the Firestone Plantations Company of Akron, Ohio. This suspension will be in force until such time as the revenues of the Government for two consecutive years shall have amounted to six hundred and fifty thousand dollars annually.
The declaration of moratorium on the loan may have a far-reaching effect on the destiny of this Republic, in view of the fact that repeated efforts on the part of the Government to secure conditions that are compatible with the financial resources of the country have been abortive. In his letter dated September 23, 1932, the Acting Secretary of the Liberian Treasury, Honorable J. F. Dunbar, requested of the Finance Corporation a modification of the loan agreement as follows:
Liberia's Eight Points
1. The rate of interest to be reduced from seven to four per cent.
2. A moratorium on sinking fund or amortization, be granted for a period of five years.
3. The elimination of two American officers for the Liberian Frontier Force.
4. The elimination of the American Assistant Auditor.
5. Equalizing the salary of the Supervisor of Customs with that of the Auditor and Supervisor of Internal Revenue.
6. A reduction of twenty-five per cent on the salaries of the fiscal officers.
7. A reduction of twenty-five per cent on the salary of the Financial Adviser.
8. The elimination from the budget of provision for payment of outstanding bills and commitments and agreements for the issue of approximately $500,000 internal three per cent bonds, payable within twenty years from date of issue of them; this in order to fund the current floating indebtedness of the Government.
King's Statement
The Finance Corporation was not prepared to alter conditions and despite its assurances to the Republic that its vice-president, Mr. L. T. Lyle, will sail to Liberia in order to obtain first-hand information, it evidently was not desirous of any change. President Edwin Barclay thereon observed: "Since your corporation seemed disinclined seriously to consider the several requests of the Liberian government to them for assistance in ameliorating the budgetary situation, we had reached the conclusion that the only thing to be done was to suspend payment on the loan." . . .
Of late the revenue of the Republic has been low. In fact nearly the whole of the revenue intake has been applied to the services of the 1926 Gold Loan resulting, as it were, in the non-payment of salaries of the civil service, and has been a contributory factor to the economic dilemma which now faces the country. The Legislature also recommended inter alia: the reduction of fiscal officers to one Financial Adviser at a salary of $10,000 per annum; one Supervisor of Revenues at $4,800 per annum, and one Auditor at $4,800 per annum. If further authorized the Secretary of the Treasury to apply all revenues of the Government to the payment of salaries of the civil establishment and the cost incident to ordinary government expenses as may be provided by the national budget.

Let's Walk Along Together
By Beatrice M. Murphy
Seth Parker, in his Sunday night broadcasts, very frequently sings a hymn which I like very much: "You go to your church, and I'll go to my church, but let's walk along together." Life is so short and difficult at best, that this is the only sensible thing to do.
I was quite delighted the other day when someone gave me a book by a man who, I think, has left an indelible mark on the page of history, because he has helped so many thousands of people to get a different conception of life and given them new hope and courage.
I was telling an acquaintance of mine how pleased I was over the gift, and how I hoped some day to own his complete works. "Oh," she replied. "It's all right if you like that kind of sentiment. I think its rather silly."
Of course I could have pointed out to her that in this case the loss was hers, and that anything which makes men want to live better lives is more than silly sentiment. But what was the use? Life is made up of people like that.
It seems to be a human trait to want to profane whatever another holds sacred. We mock and jeer at any creed, action or religion that does not conform with ours. We live within our narrow worlds and refuse to admit that the man across the street might be just as good—if not better than we—although he interprets his life and beliefs in a different way.
The whole business of Christianity and everyday living has become one of snootyism in which everything which is not our own line of reasoning has no right to be called sacred. We trample on the feelings of our best friends very superciliously and try—oh, so patiently—to point out to them why they are wrong, and we are right. Men have died and friendships and homes have been broken because each individual did not want to give the others the same privilege which he demanded and took for himself—that of following his own line of thought. So the break came, because they could not find a common ground on which to meet. Instead of their religions joining them, it became a sword and a barrier between them. And why? Why should it make any difference?
What are we all after anyway in life but to live the cleanest, most normal life possible, doing the best we can to be of service to those who cross our paths? I can't see that it makes any difference which way you go or I go as long as we meet at the goal. And who can tell in this world, where human life is founded on the beliefs of those who make it up, just which one of us is right? So, why not hold fast to those things you do believe, but be tolerant enough to give the other fellow the benefit of the doubt and admit that perhaps he can be right too. Try to project yourself in his place and find out why he thinks and feels and reacts as he does. And since we are all going the same place, why not walk along together?
Poor Beginning!
Believing that many editors and readers might be entertaining the same opinion as expressed by C. C. Calloway, editor of the Omaha Guide, in his letter which says in part:
"No news Monday. I think I'll have to send you back to Jackson, Michigan. You fell down the first week you are at liberty. My readers will be lost without your columns. I suppose you should be excused for I imagine you are celebrating."
I wish to offer the following explanation. In no sense have I been celebrating, and if my releases did not reach the papers in time for last week's issue it was no fault of mine. In fact I mailed them on Saturday, two days before they have been mailed in the past. And the fault is entirely on the postal department.
My opinion is that all the workers were at the fair. Even the Chicago Bee did not receive my releases until Tuesday, although they were mailed Saturday afternoon, and at this rate I know that sort of service the out-state papers received. Eventually I hope to ascertain the delays and eliminate them entirely. So bear with me.
It's beginning to look as though a strictly legal defense in the Scotsboro case will produce the necessary results...Too bad now that the Crawford case has to be ballyhooed all over again. Although, many years a prisoner, I always felt that our "ballyhooing" should be exerted into channels that would produce commercial benefits and thus eventually give the race a financial foundation on which injustices could be more effectively righted.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1933
Youth's Corner
Youth's Corner
By Alvin (Chick) Webb
Last week I read with a great deal of enthusiasm about the prospective organization of a National Youth League or some similar youthful organization that will cater to the young Negroes of the country.
If I am quoting the Federal News editor correctly, there is a great possibility that a local chapter will be inaugurated here in the near future. As the Fed. editor stated in his last column, the city of Washington should really be the pacemaker in movements of this nature. This community is the acknowledged center of culture, society, education and the like for Negroes all over the union. Yet the fact remains that there is much more that we could accomplish in organizing and centralizing Negro groups than has been accomplished in the past. Especially does this hold true among the younger groups.
I am aware of the existence of such organizations as City-Wide Forum (incidentally a movement that I advocated for a considerable length of time), the Junior N.A.A.C.P., the Young People's Political Study Club (with the talented Beatrice Murphy at the helm), and other lesser organizations that cater to the youth of the community.
Yet these groups do not have a popular or universal appeal to every young man and woman, as they really should. Their personnel is limited to certain classes and sets, consequently, their productivity is also limited, and their progress slow.
It is to be hoped that when this prospective organization is launched a direct and general appeal for membership will be sounded to all groups and classes—regardless of locality, group or class.
The states of New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have been making rapid strides in their concerted efforts to bring about "bigger and better" Youth movements. Must Washington take a back seat? Their results are a defiant challenge as to the youth of this city. Let us wake up!
*****
Note.—The writer thought that the readers of this column would be probably interested in reading about the nature of a "Youth Conference" as it is held in New York. In view of the foregoing article, I believe that this story would be consistent.
At a New York State Youth Conference
In 1927, I was fortunate enough to be chosen to represent the Harlem branch of the Y.M.C.A. at its semi-annual Youth Conference that was held in the spring of the year in Nyack, N.Y. It was my first visit to such a conference, and I was indeed surprised to note upon my arrival that there were many delegates from the white branches among those present.
The camp was pitched on a large greensward covered with typical "army" tents, which were to "house" the delegates during their two-day conference (Saturday and Sunday). Here is a general schedule of the two-day activities:
Saturday
9:00-11:00 A.M.—Assembling and general greeting of delegates.
11. A.M.12:00—Discussion (led by chosen leaders) on selected subjects and topics. At this session the delegates are split up into groups, regardless of representation, and the discussions is general and enthusiastic.
12:00-1:00—Assembly—at which time all the topics are discussed and summed up by a representative of each group, who has been selected by their respective members to speak on behalf of the group. After this the assemblage is to select the best, three speakers by means of ballot, and three prizes are awarded the winners.
1:00:4:00—Athletic contests and games. A track meet is staged, and baseball is indulged in by all. 4:00:9:00—Supper. This is one of the highlights of the conference. For, in addition to dining resplendently, the delegates prepare a wonderfully entertaining program, in which a number of the dele-
gates participate, usually consisting of vocal and instrumental solos, duets, quartets, comical and dramatic recitations, toasts and what not. All in all a spicy and thoroughly enjoyable program is invariably rendered—which of course helps the food to go down a little easier. As for the food, there is absolutely no criticism that can be made about it. It finds favor with the most discriminating appetite and connoisseurs. Those who do not care to mingle with the crowd are given the opportunity to leave the table and seek other "haunts." After the merriment has subsided, a good refreshing rest is usually the only alternative. So on to bed.
Sunday
9:00—Chapel and worship. At which time the visiting cleric takes charge.
10:30-12:00—Free. Usually this time is taken up with the preparation of notes regarding the conference's activities up to this point. Each delegate is responsible for a careful report of the conference, and great care is exercised to produce a splendid manuscript. This period also presents the delegates with an opportunity to socialize, and to renew and form acquaintances. Incidentally, I might add that many candidates for office during the coming conference, use this period advantageously in canvassing for votes and supporters. 12:00-2:00—Light luncheon. 2:00-4:00—Formal meeting of the conference. Presentation of conference magazine. Report on previous conference. Old and new business. Election of officers. Announcement of date and place of next conference. Adjournment and farewells.
The above, is merely a general sketch of the actual proceedings and activities of a typical New York state conference. There are other conferences of different groups; but they generally carry out the same methods and plans. Far thinking readers can easily foretell the good that can be obtained from gatherings, especially inter-racial, of this nature. The false qualities of coldness, racial misunderstanding, segregation and ostracism are torn down and instead one finds evidences of good fellowship and good will, co-operation and comradery existing among both white and black. Truly there must be some value to be obtained. I would appreciate hearing from my readers in regard to this "Youth movement." Letters both pro and con are welcome. What do you think? Address all communications to U.S. Coast Guard, Treasury Department.

Having learned that there is a possibility of one of them being recalled and wishing to make a feature story of it, I am getting full particulars which I hope to give to you later.
Another State Department messenger has been given a letter. His name is Blackburn, but his was not for "inefficiency." His genial personality and friendly smile will be missed.

Resurrection of an almost forgotten Civil Service regulation by Representative Duncan (D) of Missouri, may open the way to thousands of jobs for patronage-hungry Democrats in emergency agencies. This discovery by the first term Representative completely set the plans of the administration to fill the jobs created by the emergency relief legislation from the eligible list of the Civil Service.
As Congress created the various agencies, the members, harassed by job seekers, filed literally thousands of applications for "deserving Democrats" with the personnel chiefs of the new bureau. But they were unable to get any action as some of the secretaries, notably Secretary of Agriculture Wallace and Henry Morgentheau, Jr., who has charge of consolidating farm agencies, had pigeon-holed these applications and were preparing to draw on the Civil Service for employees. Learning this, Duncan called their attention to the regulation adopted during the administration of Theodore Roosevelt which provides that Civil Service employees must be put on the rolls for "permanent appointment" and as all of the jobs are of a temporary character, Duncan insisted the regulation would bar civil service eligibles and throw the jobs wide open.
The National Civil Service Reform League, meeting in New York recently, made public a report recommending retention of "career" men in the diplomatic service and further modifications of "preferences" to veterans in public jobs. A resolution was adopted condemning the Senate attempt to control, "for patronage purposes," appointments to all Federal positions paying over $5,000 a year.

It is not generally known that a Bureau of Public Parks and Public Buildings colored laborer was the first to swim in the White House pool. He fell in and was out before the foreman on the job knew anything about it. I doubt very seriously if he knows yet. The "faller in" will not permit me to use his name. He says he will sue me for "unqualified mention" if I do.
The Newshawk has just learned that a white man has been appointed Governor of the Virgin Islands. So it looks like Dr. William Thompkins, of Kansas, must look around for something in Washington.

For slaying an insane trooper who ran amuck and killed four persons in Fort Huachuca, Ariz., on December 29, fast, Corporal Peter Hardley, Jr., of Company I, 25th Infantry, was awarded the Soldiers' Medal by the War Department, Monday.
The award is the highest that can be given an enlisted man during peace times.
The citation said, "Corporal Hardley with utter disregard of personal danger intercepted and shot to death an insane soldier who had just killed two officers and their wives and who was in the act of shooting another officer."
The man who ran amuck was James H. Abernathy. His acts were thought to have been a reaction to what he regarded as unjust persecution.

INSURANCE HEADS PROUD OF THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS
Twenty Companies Represented at Annual Convention in Chicago
CHICAGO (ANP) — Reviewing their successes with pardonable pride, while facing with fortitude their disadvantages and losses during the past year, the delegates to the thirteenth annual session of the National Negro Insurance Association closed their deliberations here Friday, after a convention every moment of which was devoted to serious discussions of present day problems facing Negro business endeavor and insurance organizations specifically.
Premiums totalling $8,587,594 were collected by the twenty companies who reported their activities; $11,963,272 represents the total admitted by law to have on hand and these 20 organizations have $163,287,975 worth of insurance in force, according to the report rendered by statistician Cyrus M. Campfield. The report showed that they owned real estate valued at $3,096,630, and that they had a combined surplus of $1,493,801.
President W. H. Lee reviewed the happenings of the year. "In the midst of failing banks, crumbling financial institutions and a nation-wide wave of insolvency," he said, "it is indeed gratifying to note that a miraculously small percentage of our member companies have fallen victims. Many institutions have struggled dangerously near the precipice, but have been successful in regaining their financial equilibrium, 'weathered' the storm of distrust and are still able to carry on."
Burial Associations a Menace
The offsetting of the evil of burial associations, which without state examinations, restrictions or safeguards, do a business which is practically that of an insurance company, was one of the subjects claiming attention and reports showed that the insurance companies were fully prepared to combat these organizations which are being legislated upon and against in a number of states.
The part played by the stronger insurance companies in going to the relief of weaker companies was commended. George W. Cox, chairman of the executive committee, related the role played by the organization in successfully committing the arrangement by which the Woodmen of Union Life Insurance Company of Hot Springs was taken under trusteeship by the Universal Life of Memphis. The absorption of two companies by Atlanta Life and similar activity in the case of two small companies by the North Carolina Mutual were cited as examples of the sort of solidarity and support of sister organizations in which members of the insurance association had been engaged.
Reports were given on the efforts made by association officials and officers of various companies to be of service in the National Benefit and Victory Life difficulties. Severe condemnation was expressed because of the expensive and devastating receiverships forced upon these Negro companies, with their resultant loss in business and assets to the race and diminution of racial confidence in colored business enterprises. Companies which face trouble were urged to take member companies into their confidence and enlist co-operation to the end that the business either might be secured or kept in the hands of the group.
To Meet in Richmond
Richmond, Va., was chosen as the next place of meeting.
next place of meeting.
Officers elected were Eugene M. Martin, secretary of Atlanta Life, president; C. Bernard Gilpin, of Richmond Beneficial, first vice president; W. A. Jordan, Jr., assistant secretary of Southern Aid of Richmond; A. P. Bentley, vice president and agency officer; M. W. Bonnor, Universal Life, fourth vice president; W. Ellis Stewart, secretary; A. W. Williams, Unity Life, Chicago, assistant secretary; A. L. Lewis, president, Afro-American Life of Jacksonville, Fla., treasurer; J. A. Blume, Winston-Cox, chaplain; Cyrus M. Campfield, Atlanta Life, public director and statistician; George W. Cox, of North Carolina Mutual chairman of the executive committee, the members of which are M. S. Stuart, Universal Life, Memphis, W. H. Lee, Afro-American; P. J. E. DeJoie, New Orleans; and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, of Florida.
The Century of Progress proved a definite attraction for the visitors many of whom remained over to visit the fair. Among the numerous social courtesies extended was a most enjoyable smoker at the Appomattox Club. The citizens of the city were present to welcome the group at the public meeting presided over by Harry H. Pace and held at Community Church on Wednesday night.

MOTHER OF 17 CHILDREN DIES SUDDENLY
Suffering from an attack of indigestion, combined with heart trouble, Mrs. Bertha Samuels, a mother of 17 children, died at her residence, 714 Third Street, Southeast, early Tuesday morning. Her husband, Mack Samuels, said that his wife attended church Monday night at the Church of God in Christ at Four-and-a-Half and K Streets, Southwest. She returned saying that she felt well and speaking of the fine meeting at the church. They retired and early Tuesday morning his wife asked for a cool drink of water. He went to get it for her and upon returning she was up and took the glass and drank one swallow of water. She said it was too hot for her in the room and asked to be fanned. Shortly she started into the boys' room, and upon reaching the window of that room, she sank to the floor and said, "Good-bye, I am gone."
The funeral will be held this (Friday) afternoon at the Church of God. The Rev. R. L. Kelsean, pastor, will officiate.
Mr. and Mrs. Samuel were married in Orangeburg, S.C., 28 years ago. They came to Washington in 1914. Seventeen children have been born to them. All are living but one. Three of the boys and two of the girls are married.
Two of the sons are in the reforestation camp near Luray, Va.

SOUTHERNAIRES' THIRD ANNIVERSARY
The Southernaires' third anniversary program last Sunday morning was quite inspiring. Dr. Channing H. Tobias, of the New York Y.M.C.A., gave a very interesting account of the services rendered by the Southernaires during these last three years over the National Broadcasting Company network. He told how groups of people all over the country get together on Sunday mornings and listen to these singers; how people of different walks of life look forward to their songs of the South. It was revealed from one message received by the Southernaires that their singing saved a young woman from committing suicide and encouraged her to fight on by listening to a prayer offered by them. In another message a minister of the gospel told how much inspiration he received from their programs before going to church on Sunday mornings.
Telegrams of congratulations were received from many of their well-wishers, three of which were read from the New York office of the N.A.A.C.P., a midwestern newspaper editor, and a minister of the gospel.
Homer Smith, first tenor of the quartet, responded and expressed appreciation for the group.
May the Sutherlandais continue to render such commendable service in the years to come as they have in the past.

SOUND EFFECTS IN
TARZAN THE REAL THING
Edgar Rice Burroughs's exciting book, "Tarzan of the Apes," has been dramatized for radio and is now heard over WJSV every evening except Saturday and Sunday, at 6:15.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1933
Sound effects can make or mar a radio program, and determined that Tarzan of the Apes should not be spoiled by poor sound effects, the producers decided upon a simple yet difficult solution.
If a scene to be produced took place on board ship, then the studio for the time being would be a ship. Heavy hatches to be raised or lowered or batttened, steel cable or chain to be clanked or scraped, pumps to wheeze, were brought to the sound studio and set in their proper place with due regard to mike pick-up.
Only objections on the part of the studio officials prevented the producers from bringing lions, tigers, pumas and other jungle ik to the studio, therefore, the equipment, like Mahomet moving to the mountain, moved to the Zoo. True Numa and lion did not always howl with due regard for the "Cain Needle," and much would have to be shot again, but, when the show was finished, Numa was in the loud speaker and Edgar Rice Burroughs was satisfied. * * * *

Earl Hines was in deep trouble here last week with the Musicians' Union. This trouble came up when he returned from his tour of St. Louis, where he played in a non-union house, which has being picketed at the time of Hines's arrival. It appears that from the St. Louis musicians' local, Hines did not get an unfair list. The list points out all of the amusement places that are unfair to organized professional musicians. The case 'is' being continued and Earl will probably be fined. At the present he is still playing at the Grand Terrace, but is off the air until this condition is straightened out.

Youths' Congress to Oppose Fascism and War
NEW YORK.—More than seven American youth organizations have endorsed the World Congress of youth against war and fascism to be held in Paris, August 5-7. Among the organizations backing the congress are the Young Communist League, National Student League, War Resisters League, Green International, Fellowship of Reconciliation, Convergence for Progressive Labor Action, the American Committee Against War, and National Student Committee for Negro Rights. Edward Johnson, secretary of the Committee on Militarism and Education and representatives of Pioneer Youth of America, has also endorsed the Congress. The American committee for the congress has issued the following call:
"The growing danger of a new world war faces the youth of every country today. It threatens to deprive them of their rightful opportunity to live, develop and create. It not only imperils their very existence, but also jeopardizes the life and development of humanity. Another world war would kill and maim millions of young men and the world will gain nothing by their sacrifices.
At the present time the world economic struggle has burst forth into open war in the Far East and South America. Japan's aim of a semi-monopoly in the exploitation of China, conflicting with the aims of American imperialism, has resulted in the concentration of the entire naval force in the United States in the Pacific Ocean. The rise of fascism among the western imperialism has increased the danger of war against the Soviet Union. The imperialist rivalry between the United States and Great Britain has flowered into War between Bolivia and Paraguay for control of an important oil producing region. At any time this world struggle may turn into a death combat involving the entire earth."
Protestants Missions Fail to Win Catholic Immigrants
NEW YORK—Out of every 300 immigrants to the United States from Catholic countries, one has become a member of the Protestant mission church, according to the findings of an inquiry into "Protestant Home Missions to Catholic Immigrants," made by Professor Theodore Aorel of Columbia University, for the Institute of Social and Religious Research. Among the reasons for undertaking the inquiry it is stated, "is the fact that many ecclesiastical leaders, as well as many laymen, have in recent years been raising again the question of the wisdom and legitimacy of this entire realm of effort."
Professor Abel, finds that missions for the proselyting of Catholic immigrants have been conducted by American Protestant churches for over fifty years, at a total expense which he estimates at between fifty and one hundred million dollars. The present membership of such mission churches he places at possibly between fifty and sixty thousand, and "this estimated total includes, besides converts from Catholicism, the children and grandchildren of converts who have not themselves been brought up in Catholicism and also persons of Protestant stock."
Many Negro immigrants are Catholies and the same-ratio exists exists.

Branch Office: 715 Florida Avenue, N.W. CHAS. H. FEARING, District Manager CALL NORTH 5026 for an APPOINTMENT
Will the Small Business Section of the United States Department of Commerce, in charge of James A. (Billboard) Jackson, business specialist, since its establishment prior to October, 1827, be abolished under President Roosevelt's "new deal" plans, or allowed to continue to disseminate information about the consumer market comprising 12,000,000 Negroes?
As the end of the fiscal year draws nigh, with its attending talk of changes to provide for patronage seekers, this question is not only concerning Washingtonians, but the multitudes who have benefited from the services of this particular government unit. Although Mr. Jackson did not pose as a technical expert, the government placed at his service its immense fund of data covering scientific merchandising, store management, and better business practices in general.
Businesses Aided
Inquiries covering special problems of individual business management receive from the office detailed information or the source from which it may be obtained, if available. This service is offered to the independent merchant or manufacturer, without charge, regardless of the size of his business. In addition, results of special business researches made by the Commerce Department in pamphlet form are sent out free or at a small cost to cover publication.
Information on 41,207 Cards
A monument to the insatiable thirst of Mr. Jackson for all kinds of information regarding Negro business are the 41,207 indexed cards in his office. They have been filed so systematically that information upon any phase of Negro business may be obtained at a moment's notice, and the collection is added to daily.
Facts about the following numbers of varied organizations are also in the files of the Small Business Section: national commercial, 32; national professional, 19; tri-state, 8; state commercial and professional, 66; local commercial bodies, 238; local professional bodies, 94; local industrial, 101; farmers' co-operatives, 20; federations of musicians, 47; civic organizations, 120.
These are significant when it is realized that prior to the establishment of the office the government itself knew of but one national and one local colored organization.
Own 100,000 Businesses
Other information filed shows that Negroes are engaged as owners in about 30,000 commodity-sell-

ing enterprises, and about 70,000 personal-service forms of business, in which some commodity is sold in connection with the service, such as undertaker, dentist, barber, and hairdresser. Mr. Jackson's files also disclose that there are 1,500 colored manufacturers, representing 354 lines of business, and producing 97 articles of commerce. More than 30 per cent of this number are engaged in the production of hair and facial preparations. However, a substantial number are producing commodities which find a market with the general public without regard to racial lines.
203 Finance Concerns
Special list reveal that the financial interests of the group, not cared for through general agencies, include 28 banks, 80 insurance companies, 91 finance and investment companies, 10 credit unions, and 6 farm-loan societies. Fifty-four building and loan associations are listed, although there are known to be more.
For the information of those interested, Mr. Jackson has listed pertinent facts and surveys of Negro interests in about 56 cities and 270 towns. A list of conventions and fairs to be held during the year has been released after each February 1.
Have 187 Newspapers
Another special list enumerates
187 colored newspapers one a daily, and about 200 other publications, including generally distributed months and 10 trade journals. There are nearly 400 colored hotels in the country, the names and location of 212 being found in the files of the Small Business Section.
The information of the bureau is collected and distributed free.
Has Traveled 107,042 Miles
Since his incumbency, dating back to 1927, Mr. Jackson has traveled 107,042 miles or a distance nearly equal to eight trips around the globe; covered 27 states, and delivered 552 addresses. He has released 123 special stories, including magazine articles on different phases of business. Three thousand eight hundred ninety-three letters have entered the office; 2,687 have been sent out.
Had Secretary Year Only
The number of visitors to the office totals 1,002, a record of each name and address, being methodically kept. During his tenure, Mr. Jackson has only had a secretary for one year of the time, which makes more surprising the voluminous amount of information collected and filed.
In view of the foregoing, it appears that the group would suffer a loss should the office be abolished or changes made in the personnel.

One High, One Junior High, Ten Elementary Organizations Provided for
Plans for the opening of summer schools on Wednesday, July 5, were completed by Clarence D. Lewis, director of the summer and evening colored schools.
Due to the fact that the appropriations have been curtailed, certain restrictions will be imposed on the pupils in the summer schools this year. It is expected that between 3,500 and 4,000 pupils will be enrolled in the colored schools. No classes will be taught in the senior and junior high schools with less than 25 pupils. The senior high will be held at Dunbar building, and the junior high at the Garnet-Patterson building.
Enrollment in the schools will consist of the following:
1. Those who have failed in a subject and are to repeat in the summer school there will be registered first.
2. Those who have passed the subject with a low grade, may strengthen their work in that subject.
3. Those who wish to take an advance subject. Classes are limited to 45. Elementary classes will be held at the Bates Road, the Bell, the Burrville, the Cleveland, the Cook, the Lovejoy, the Mott, the Giddings, the Phillips and the Sumner buildings—ten schools for elementary, one senior and one junior high school.

W. J. Newsome, Dunbar Teacher Resigns; Mrs. Griffin Retires
The uneasiness which prevailed the teachers of the city schools following the meeting of the board of education on May 18, was abated by the board in a special meeting on June 22, when the jobs of the teachers and librarians were reported as safe for next year. The board approved plans for balancing the 1933-34 personnel budget to make up the $00,000 deficit in the appropriation for these salaries next year. The plans adopted Thursday will bring about a savings of $61,000.
As the plans now stand, no future dismissals are in sight. The savings will be brought about by not filling positions of officers, teachers, librarians, clerks and custodians which have fallen vacant.
A further saving of $10,000 will be made by retirement of four officers on August 30. There will be a reorganization of officers, administrative principals and increased teachers' load.
The retirement of Louis Monroe, research clerk in the office of the secretary as of June 30, was announced by the board. Mr. Monroe has been in the school service for 42 years.
It was announced that the Commissioners issued an order for installing new heating systems or remodeling them, in the Cooke, Morgan and Cleveland Schools. The bid was let to a firm in Baltimore at a cost of $26,535.

"Mr. Newsome resigned because of inefficient service," said Garnet Wilkinson, first assistant superintendent.

CATHOLICS ELECT DR.T.W. TURNER IN REORGANIZATION
Laymen's National Organization to Meet in Washington in August
PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—With the view of reviving their national laymen's organization, colored Catholic laymen met here Sunday and reorganized the Federated Colored Catholics of the United States, with Dr. Thomas W. Turner as president.
This organization began some years ago but the name was later changed to the National Catholic Federation for the Promotion of Better Race Relations.
Trouble in the organization caused a split and for a while there were two sets of officers. Finally Dr. Turner, who had been president before the split, left the organization with several other officers.
The Catholics meeting here Sunday were from Washington, Maryland and Pennsylvania. Officers elected were Dr. Thomas W. Turner, of Hampton Institute, president; H. M. Smith, of Washington, secretary; and William Bruce, of Philadelphia, was elected to edit a quarterly magazine for the federation.
One of the delegates stated: "This is a laymen's organization to help and encourage colored Catholics, without the interference of the clergy, Dr. Turner was the former president of this federation when Father Markoe, of St. Louis, Mo., and Father La Farge of New York, meddled into its affairs and succeeded in changing the name. A rump convention was held in Chicago last October, dominated by Father Markoe and elected Attorney Conrad, of Cincinnati, as president. The majority of the members of the federation repudiated this rump convention and the officers elected by it.
"The object of the meeting Sunday was to revive the original federation with Dr. Turner as the leading spirit of it."
The assembly adjourned to meet in Washington, D.C., on August 27 of this year
Those from Washington, D.C. were H. M. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Bert Edlin, William Minor, William A. Prather, L. D. Holton, James M. Brown, Mrs. Annie J. Greenfield, Charles Quande, Ms. Violet McKinney, and Col. L. Cater.

COP HELPS TWO TO HOLD UP GAS FILLING STATION
Aided Fleeing Accomplices and Took $60 as His Share of Spoils
Pleading guilty to having planned the hold-up of a filling station, which was carried out with his assistance while he was on duty, on June 1, Patrolman John F. Patton, 26, white, of the Second Precinct, was held under $15,000 bond for the grand jury by Judge John P. McMahon, in Police Court, Wednesday.
James Mason, 25, who also plead guilty, was held under similar bond. Clarence Ashe of 1740 Seaton Street, Northwest, a third man arraigned with the pair, was released when the government failed to make out a prima facie case against him. The accused white patrolman is said to have told police that Ashe aided in the planning, although Ashe was not present on the night of the robbery. Patton's statement could not be corroborated. Ashe was represented by Attorney Nathan A. Dobbins. The filling station was robbed of $185 by two armed colored men, but the man supposed to have accompanied Mason has not yet been apprehended. Patton, assigned to the beat in the neighborhood of the station at Sixteenth and Taylor Streets, Northwest, was implicated by investigators, who received a tip that an officer was "in" on the crime.
FAR HIS UNCERTAIN
Mason was picked up shortly afterwards and taken to headquarters. Six policemen were taken there. Patton was picked out by witnesses as the driver of the automobile, while in uniform, who went to a house in the 900 block of Florida Avenue, Northwest, to divide the spoils. The white patrolman admitted getting $60 as his share in the robbery. Patton is said to have confessed to Inspector Frank Burke. He stated he waited nearby in his own car while the men staged the robbery, later picking them up and aiding them to flee the scene.

WOMEN SHOULD NOT PREACH NOR PASTOR CHURCHES
Dr. Jernagin Tells Ministers that Christ Used Only Men as Leaders
"Well regulated Baptist churches do not permit women to preach in them and pastor them," said the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, in reporting to the Baptist Ministers' Conference, Monday, at Florida Avenue Baptist Church.
Continping, the Rev. Mr. Jernagin said: "I do not believe that Christ intended for women to preach and pastor. If He had, I believe He would have appointed some of those faithful women to serve in establishing Christianity. They may sing, pray and head up auxiliaries in my church, but I do not permit them to ascend to the pulitn 'and preach.'
Since this statement was made in his report of the church for last week, the president of the conference, the Rev. Augustus Lewis, would not permit questions to be asked the veteran pastor, nor permit comments to be made upon the statement.
The Rev. Mr. Earle Preaches
The Rev. J. S. Earle, of Spartanburg, S.C., delivered the sermon to the ministers on "The Necessity of the Holy Spirit's Presence with Men." His text was taken from John 11:6;7.
"You men need the Holy Ghost," said the Rev. Mr. Earl, "at all times. It prepares preachers for their work and the church for its mission. There can be no powerful preaching without the baptism of the Holy Ghost, and we need to tarry at Jerusalem until we are endured with the power.
"More preachers," said the speaker, "have half-filled churches on Sunday than full ones. There is something wrong. Preachers must have more power, somebody must pray. The Holy Spirit is necessary to convict one of sin."
The Rev. A. S. George said goodbye to the conference, because he is to leave this week for Cincinnati, Ohio, where he will assume the pastorate of a church there.
Mrs. Carrie T. Hooper, of New York City, sang a solo, following the sermon by the Rev. Mr. Earl.
Those who assisted in the service were the Rev. A. S. George, the Rev. R. D. Botts, and the Rev. C. Clagett.

MICHAUX HOLDS MEETING IN PARK IN DOWNPOUR
Elder Lightfoot Michaux, founder and pastor of the Church of God, began his series of revival meetings at the American League Baseball Park, Sunday, night, in a downpour of rain. But the elder's meeting wasn't hampered. One hundred and fifty-six white robed choir members were baptized from above as they sat singing the praises of God. After the opening songs were sung, Elder Larson, white, the apostle of sunshine, with his long flowing hair flooded by the rain, led the opening prayer. Elder Michaux read the scripture lesson, while an umbrella was held over the Bible to prevent it from becoming saturated by the rain. The chorus would answer him back by saying, "Yea, Yea!!" Then he would cry out, "Is everybody wet, soldiers?" Heartily they would answer, "Yea, Yea!"
Elder Michaux took for his subject, "Where did the Devil come from?" He took his text in Col. 1:16, which states that God created everything, visible and invisible, all dominions and principalities. Elder Michaux's argument was based on the theory that if the Lord created everything, He must have created the devil.
He explained that the devil, was created by God, not as a devil, but as a holy angel who fell by transgression from an angel to a devil, as Adam fell in the Garden of Eden.
Mrs. Michaux, wife of the elder, sang "Abide With Me," as a solo. The elder said, "It is plain from the scripture that after the devil sinned in heaven, he was cast out into the earth to await the judgment of that great day when he shall be cast into hell."
Members of the orchestra that furnished the music were drenched to their skins and two man had to be appointed to hold a canvas over the keys of the piano while the pianist played, to prevent the keys from becoming unplayable, but in the face of all this, the whole group of participants seemed to be happy to the highest pitch.
One feature of the evening was that every now and then Elder Michaux, who was drenched to his skin, would cry out to the chorus of singers whom he addressed as soldiers, "Is everything all right?" On next Sunday night the service will be held at the park beginning at 8 o'clock, rain or shine. There is no admission.
The subject next Sunday will be "Is the Devil in Hell?"
The same chorus of 156 voices will furnish the singing each Sunday evening until September 3. Week-day services of this meeting are being held each night under a big tent on Sherman Avenue, Northwest, 2300 block, near Garfield Memorial Hospital. Meetings begin each night at 8 o'clock.

He instructed the young people to live fruitful lives and to give conscientious service. He pointed out the fact that although Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, all that the Bible attributes to him is a long life and children. He contrasted Methuselah's life with that of Christ who lived only thirty-three years but who left everlasting ideals and a life pattern for all.
Music for the service was furnished by the junior choir under the direction of Miss Beatrice Suydan. The fourth Sunday of each month has been set aside as Junior Day at the Church.

PULA PORTER
SG TSH |
COMPANY UNION | eg
CHICAGO.—The suit of the Bro-
therhood. of Sleeping Car Porters
against the Pullman Company in
which an injunction is sought to
restrain the further operation of
the company union has been reset
for trial before Federal Judge
Woodward for Monday, June 26, in
the Federal building.
This case will be very aggres-
sively prosecuted by. the sleeping
2ar porters’ union with the assis-
tance and cb-operation of the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor.
Union porters are very enthusi-
astic’ over the final outcome of the
many preliminaries .of this: case
which have consistently resulted in
vietories for the brotherhood, and
all Pullman. porters are awaiting
this trial where a decision on the
plan of employe representation will
be had. i
‘The recent upturn in railroad
business has resulted in many un
ion porters being called back to
work after extendell lay-offs and
furloughs, ‘This assures the broth-
erhood of much additional support
by reason of the return of many of
its members to work.
The faith of the Pullman porters
in the principle of organized labor
has been vindicated by reaeson of
the fact of the recognition of these
ideas that have been accepted by
all of the responsible government
agencies in dealing with the new
industrial order that is to be
brought about.

CARTER WOODSON
SAILS FOR EUROPE
Dr, Carter G. Woodson sailed for
Europe on*the 24th, to continue
there his researches in the national
archives and to study from the an-
thropological point of yiew con-
tacts of Europeans with Africans.
While in Europe last summer he
spent most of his time in the Brit-
ish Museum, in the Public Record
Offiice of England, in the Congo-
Belge Museum of Belgium, in the
Bibliotheque Nationale of “France,
and in the Library of the League
of Nations at Geneva. This year
he will restrict his observations
mainly to Portyeal, Spain, Sardin-
ia, Corsica, qagsiciy,
‘The Mediterranean was a great
melting pot for the races a few
centuries ago, and the scientific
study of the culture which thereby
resulted will throw much light on
the racial‘and interracial matters
in other parts.
In making this trip Dr. Woodson
is not taking up something new.
For a number of years he has had
workers engaged in this effort. The
most outstanding one of these in-
vestigators is Miss Irene Wright,
a specialist in Latin-American
questions, engaged in research in
the archives of the Indies in Se-
ville, Spain.
‘To Treat on Literature
The Association tér the Study of
Negro Life and History is-desirous
of developing through such investi-
gators almost every’ aspect of the
life and history, of those parts as
they touch the Negro. In addition
to the anthropological approach,
Dr. Woodson is endeavoring to pro-
duce in the near future a treatment
of the Negro in the literature of
the Mediterranean since the fall of
the Roman Empire. This will fol-
ow very much a similar treatment
by Fernand Masse of “The Negro
in Early French Literature,” which
appears in the July issue of the
Journal of Negro History.
Sailing with Dr. Woodson goes
Dr. Alain LeRoy Locke, the duly
accredited representative of the as-
sociation to the centenary celebra-
tion of abolition of slavery in pos-
sessions of Great Britain.
Referring to this celebration Dr.
Woodson said:
“These exercises are under the
direction of Sir John Harris, who
has written an inspiring account of
“A Century of Emancipation.”
“These liberal-minded people of
Enigland are co-operating in. the
observance of this important event.
Along with Sir John Harris are
associated such outstanding per-
sons of England as Lord Noel-Bux-
ton, the grandson of the noted Bux-
ton’ of the anti-slavery struggle,
and Lady Simon, the wife of Sir
John Simon, o! the present British
cabinet,
To Show Gratitude
“Negroes on this side who ap-
preciate what friends of freedom
achieved in the past, desire to join
with them in doing honor to these
heroes, To neglect their duty in
this ease would make them victims
of the sin of ingratitude, ‘
“The important events scheduled
will show how seriously the Eng-
lish people are taking this celebra-
tion. Many of the exercises have
already taken place, some of them
being staged at various points of
anti-slavery history since the 24th
of April. These are such as ad-
dresses, centenary sermons, broad-
cast series of talks, pageants, and
conferences in which most are
sentative persons are scheduled to
particioats,
“In addition to what will take
| place in London, outlying provinces
sell stage then om) exert,
There will be a special centenary
service st the Chichester Cathedral
on the 2nd of Jaly. A pageant wil
be. given'in the: Winter Garden of
Bournemouth on the 15th. His
Grace the Archbishop of York wil
open the celebration at Hull on the
26th, and Lord Cecil will also. par-
ticipate on the 28th, The closiffy
event will be a broadcast on the
bit of July by he Right Re th
Lord Bishop of Durham.”

vor of Dr. Ackiss.
Wife Represents Husband
The trial which started Monday
was not concluded until, Thursday
morning. The two physicians were
represented by Attorney George E.
C, Kayes and Attorney Thelma
Ackiss, wife of Dr. Ackiss. Attor-
neys Thomas Ellis Lodge and H.
M, Frampton, both white, repre-
sented Humes.
Dr, Adams is recognized as one
of the most competent pathologists
in the United States, He is a ferad-
uate of Howard University and re-
ceived a Rosenwald fellowship to
Harvard in 1920, and is one of three
colored men to have attended clin-
ics at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Bal-
timore.
Attorneys for Humes claimed
that the two physicians did not ex-
ercise cave and skill in performing
the puncture, and Dr, Ackiss failed
to render the proper treatment af-
ter the operation. This alleged
negligence resulted in, the injury to
the eye.
Due Care Taken
Dr. Ferdinand Whitby,’a special-
ist in mental diseases, and a de-
fense witness, testified that the
symptoms from which Humes suf-
fered could have been brought
about-by any number of causes.
Dr. J. D. Stout, a white speciglist
ifeom Sibley Hospital, stated tha
Dr. Adams took necessary precau-
tions in performing the operation
as it was the prevailing practice ta
perform the operation in bed or
with the patient in a’sitting posi-
ton,
In the case of Humes, the pune-
ture was made in thé olfice of Dr
Adams at the hospital with the pa-
tient straddling a chair. It was
claimed that when the needle was
first injected into the spine the
fluid spurted out across the room
and the needle was reinserted ta
permit a gradual flow of fluid. This
‘was said by experts to be the prop-
er procedure followin a spurt,
Dr, J; Hayden Johnzon, » mem-
ber of the board of education, was
alzo called as a witness. He tes.
tified that he treated Humes in No
vember, 1930, Attorneys for Humes
announced that they would ask for
a new trial, and if necessary they
would take the case to the Court

Liberian Problem Seems: to
Be Approaching a Solution
President Barclay and Major Winship, U.S. Special
Envoy, Come to Agreement on Many Points; Final
Settlement to be Sought in Geneva
MONROVIA, Liberia—(Special
to the ANP)—As a result of con-
ferences held during the past five
weeks between His Excellency, the
President of Liberia and Major-
General Winship, Representative
of President Roosevelt on Special
Mission to Liberia, substantial pro-
gress has been made towards set-
fling on a basis of mutual accom-
modations of the differences be-
tween the Government of Liberia
and the Finance Corporation of
America.
Mr, Lyle, vice-president of the
Finance Corporation with offices
here, has made certain offers on
behalf of the Firestones, which in-
cludes anticipated reduction in the
interest charges on the 1926 Loan;
provision for regularizing the
status of past due interest and
amortization, and revision. of sal-
aries of the American fiscal a-
gents,
Should these proposals become
effective, a saving to the Govern-
ment of Liberia ef approximately
$50,000 per annum for the duration
‘of the loan is contemplated, as well
as special provision for meeting
revised interest charges during the
period’ of business depression and
curtailed Government, revenues,
‘The concessions offered to the
stated in the brief that they denied
that they had conspired, agreed or
arranged in advance to make the
assault,”
‘The second assignment was based
on the fact that government coun-
sel, examining the first two or three
witnesses, showed them certain
photographs of the place where the
assault js said to have occurred and
asked them to mark certain places
on the photographs. This was done,
but the photographs were not of-
fered in evidence. They were not
shown to the jury, although they
remained on the counsel table dur-
ing the trial.
“When they were first offered for
identification, objection was made
by the counsel for the defendants
to their admission in evidence on
the ground apparently it was not
shown when they weve taken, Since
this objection seems to have pre-
vailed, we fail to see in what re-
spect it,. could be prejudicial to
the cause.”
Point three was the refusal of
the court to permit Police Lieuten-
ant Cox, who was present when the
group w as said to have confessed,
to testify why he was present. The
men claimed. that. the, confessions
had been obtained through rough
methods.
Police Violence Implied
‘The purpose of the defense
counsel wag to show that it is a
rule in the police department that
a commissioned police officer should
always be present on such an oc-
casion. They wanted to show that
this rule grew ‘out of certain in-
vestigations that had been made
prior to the trial with relation to
methods of the police in obtaining
confessions.
‘The decision was that the matter
was “entirely beside the question
before the jury and would have
tended to confuse rather than aid
in determining the question sub-
mitted to the jury.”
‘The fourth assignment was on
the alleged mis-conduct of the pro-
secuting attorney in arguing to the
jury concerning “statement of Le-
roy Robinson, which was not in
evidence.”
The decision continues: ¢
“The regords show that in his
closing argument, the prosecuting
‘attorney referred to the statement
ELEVEN
Government by the Finance Cor-
poration of America in the above
respects are conditioned upon the
prior agreement of the Govern-
ment of Liberia to the re-establish-
ment of the Depository Agreement

re-establishment in full authorily

and the acceptance by the Govern:
ment of various modifications ir
the Loan Agreement of 1926 de-
signed to clarify the status of the
fical officers, facilitate the efficient
functioning ‘of the financial advis-
orship, and settle a number of
questions of interpretation which
have caused friction in the past.
Final agreement of the points
still outstanding will be sought in
Geneva, where « meeting of the
International Committee on Liber-
ia of the council of the League of
Nations will be held as soon ax the
Liberian Representative and Gen-
eral Winship have reached Swit

of one Leroy Robinkon, an original
defendant, against whom a verdiet
of not guilty had been directed by
the court at the close of the gov-
ernment ease. Robinson, like ap-+
pellants had made a statement to
the police. In it he denied any
participation in the assault.
“The purpose of the prosecuting
attorney, if we may indulge some
inferences, was to call attention to
the fact that Robinson's statement
was not a confession of guilt but to
have the jury infer that appellants’
statements on witness stand that
they had been maltreated by the
police were untrue. When objection
was made to his use of the state-
ment. for any purpose, the’ court
promptly sustained it,
Criticises Colloquy
“It id true the prosecuting attor-
ney was needlessly argumentative
in’ the colloquy between himself,
and court, and counsel for appel-
lants, but what he said was 40
without point that it ix unlikely
that the jury had any correct idea
of his purpose in the reference...”
The assignment was also turned
down.
The next assignment was on the
admission of evidence of Reginald
Smith, who testified that. imme-
diately preceding the assault while
Jackson was under arrest, he heard
somevone in a group surrounding
the officer say: “Are you all going
to let that cop take that man?”
and also, “Let’s get that cop.”
‘The decision stated, “We, need
not consider whether this evidence
is admissible or not because on mo-
tion of counsel for appellants. it
was stricken from the records and
jury admonished not to regard it.”
‘The next assignment was on the
alleged mis-conduet of the prose-
cuting attorney in allowing « pack-
age of bricks to remain on the ta-
ble and not offering them in evi-
dence,
“Tt ig needless to comment on
this,” the judges ruled.
The eighth and ninth assign-
ments had to do with the alleged
refusal of the court td instruct the
jury with regard to an acquittal
for Jackson in the event they had
any doubt as to whether or not he
delivered « blow.
The lower’ court was upheld in
its instruction,

By FLASH ROBESON
Marion (Smoke) Levi, the cannonball artist of the Hilladales Collegeians, carved for himself a niche in the "Hall of Fame" Sunday at the expense of the hard-hitting DePriest A.C., holding them runeless and hitless in the curtain raiser of a scheduled twin bill. The only things that marred his perfect performance wear two bases on balls, one fielder's choice, and an error on what looked like a slow Texas leaguer, under what Runt White raced madly to capture, and after catching, lost his balance and the ball. On this play the umpire gave the batter a base.
Won Shut-Out
The fast traveling 'Dales won the second straight shut-out by the score of 6-0. Geechie Williams and Reds Haywood saved smoke several times by sensational fielding on difficult chances. While Runt White led the prides of LeDroit Park at the willow, getting a hard-hit double and two bases on bunts down third base line, on what the guardian of the hot corner used very poor judgment, allowing the ball to roll down the line, hoping it would roll foul.
Barnes Hurls Good Game
Norman (Slim) Barnes pitched
sensational ball, and if his team-
mates had given him any assis-
tance the Hillsdales might have
been on the wrong side of the
story. The submarine artist of the
Northeast clubmen was in rare
form, making 14 of the 'Dales whiff
the ozone and issuing only two
free tickets to first base. Erratic
fielding allowed the 'Dales to score
three runs, while three were earned
by hard hitting by the 'Dales.
The second game of the bargain
bill was rained out in the fourth
inning with the 'Dales leading. 2-1.
This game had the appearance of
being a pitchers' battle between
Jimmy Hughes and Shorty Roberts.
The 'Dales have completed the
roster of their pitching staff, having
signed Curley Williams, a com-
ing youngster with plenty of stuff
and a great determination to ad-
vance in baseball.
Rajahs Whitewashed
The LeDroit Tigers whitewashed the Rajahs in the single game scheduled between them by the score, 6-0. Hank Williams and Slim Green both pitched good ball, but the support of Green was very ragged, and if the Rajahs could have fielded the ball in better style the game would have been very close. Lenoir at short for the Bengals and Jenifer on first for the Rajahs were the fielding stars
White Sox Win
The White Sox had the best of the Giants at Halls Hill, and batted out a 10 to 5 victory in five innings. Scott and L. Lewis led the Sox at the bat, while E. Lewis pitched good ball, allowing the Giants only three hits. Morris Robinson shone in the field for the Giants.
Sunday, July 2, will be the banner day in the league when the 'Dales, with their strengthened team, will cross bats with the LeDroit Tigers at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road in a twin bill. A thriller is expected in both contests.

GRAYS EXPELLED FROM THE LEAGUE
Failure to Return Players to Detroit Cause of Drastic Action
PITTSBURGH, Pa.—At a special meeting of the Negro National Association of Baseball Clubs held Friday and Saturday, at Greenlee Field, a schedule of games for the second half was adopted. Those present were R. A. Cole and Dave Malarcher, Chicago; Arthur J. Peebles, Columbus; Tom Wilson, Nashville; Bill Moseley, Detroit; and W. G. Nunn, Pittsburgh. W. A. Greenlee presided.
Grays' Protest Ignored
Protests made by Homestead Grays against Cannady, of the New York Black Yankees, and Casey, of the Philadelphia Stars, were ignored.
Jake Dun was the object of two protests. One by Baltimore and the other by Nashville. Both clubs agreed to an adjustment whereby the players become the property of Baltimore, when and after the claims of Nashville are satisfied.
Newt Allen, of Kansas City Monarchs, was charged with violating an agreement for services with Columbus. Although the player has not reported for duty, no proof was offered that he would not report, nor reimburse the Columbus owner. The protest was tabled.
Grays Expelled
The most serious charge of the meeting was preferred against the Homestead Grays by Detroit, involving violation of articles 7 and 9 of Section 7 and Section 28 of the constitution.
Services of Binder and Williams were secured by Homestead Grays improperly. It is charged that representatives of the Grays dealt directly with the players, without permission of or notice to the Detroit officials on June 20.
A notice to return the players or accept suspension was ignored by C. W. Posey. This action resulted in Chicago being unable to play engagements scheduled at Greenlee Field, June 24, 25 and 26, and compelled to sustain a financial loss.
A presumption of guilt as charged existed when no representative of the Grays appeared to defend the act or acts.
By unanimous vote Homestead Grays were expelled from membership. League clubs are forbidden to engage in contests with the expelled club, and players have until July 10 to return to the folds of the organization.
Protest Upheld
A fine technicality dividing rules and customs prevailed for the former Chicago's protest of the second game of a doubleheader played with Baltimore June 18. Baltimore's representative contended that it had always been customary to play seven innings in the second game of a doubleheader, but admitted that he was not certain that Chicago's manager had been so informed.
The discussion was prolonged when a contention was made that the protest was not made to deprive Baltimore of a win, but to decrease the few points which divide first and second positions between the Crawfords and Chicago. Put to a vote the protest was upheld and a playoff between Chicago and Baltimore-ordered for July 6, at Akron, Ohio.
Stars Banned
Status of Independent clubs found a clean slate for New York Black Yankees, Kansas City Monarchs, and Southern clubs. Philadelphia Stars are banned until Nashville's claims on Willis are satisfied.
Method of reporting and collecting fees, advertising changes and cancellation of games preceded the work of the schedule makers. A lengthy period was devoted to box scores and summaries of games played. Emphasis placed on the value of club and individual records brought a promise that this phase of each club's work would receive more careful and prompt attention.
Player Deals
The appearance of Bill Mosely at the meeting answered the question about Detroit. Mosely is not a newcomer in the game, having held financial interest in the original Detroit Stars under the regime of the late Rube Foster. He has ample resources to protect his franchise—and the Detroit Stars might develop into the "dark horse" in the second half.
Deals in the making involved Cooper returning to the Crawfords, Turkey Stearn from Chicago to Detroit, Lewis from Crawfords to Detroit. Three or possibly four players from Homestead Grays to Detroit.

Armstrong High Athletes Won Four Conference Championships
Tech Teams Victors in Baseball, Basketball, Football and Golf; Dunbar Won Tennis, Track and Swimming in High School Title Race
By P. L. JONES
The 1932 football season was one of the most hectic in the history of local high schools. The season wound up with Stanton and Armstrong tied for first place honors. The season's winners in the various sports follow:
Armstrong, baseball; Armstrong, basketball; Armstrong and Stanton in football tie; Dunbar, swimming; Dunbar, track; Dunbar, tennis; Armstrong, golf.
A summary reveals that Armstrong won four championships, Dunbar 3, and Stanton 1.
Every team in the race suffered a setback or a tie with Tech and Stanton in a deadlock for the championship by their mathematic standing in the percentage column.
Tech was not up to the standard of previous seasons, but the team rallied in the pinches and escaped without a defeat.
Douglass Fails
Douglas High, of Baltimore, was the big disappointment of the season and failed to win a conference game, but held Armstrong to a tie.
After a dull start Howard High, of Wilmington, Del., finished the season in a blaze of unsuspected power.
Among the outstanding men of the year were Smith and Captain Parker, of Stanton; Brown, Benson, Bolden and Wright; of Howard; Mathews, Robert Williams, T. Williams, Green and Stanton, of Dunbar; Poole and Rhetta, of Douglass; Lucas, Lamar, M. Robinson and Spells, of Cardozo; B. Williams, Turpin and Mitchell, of Armstrong.
Tech Wins Baseball
Armstrong ran away from the field in baseball. When the season opened, Dunbar looked exceptionally strong as a title contender with six letter men on the squad. Douglass landed in second place largely as a result of the fine pitching of Adams. Cardozo, placed its first baseball team in the conference.
Poets Rule Waves
Dunbar ruled the water in the South Atlantic High School Conference in 1933, but Douglass and Armstrong made the Poets step, Marshall and Ware, Dunbar crawl stroke experts, were unbeatable and swept through the season cracking records with scarcely any serious effort. It was Dunbar's year in track, the Poets won the conference meet by a large margin in a great fourteam fight. Coach Pinderhughes had both a well-balanced team of men in nearly every track and field event. Armstrong fell off considerably over its recent record. The bright spot of the track meet were the broad jump by Miller, of Dunbar; the high jump by Tolson and Brooks, of Cardozo and Dunbar, respectively; and the 220-yard dash by Eicklin, of Armstrong.
Dunbar Wins Tennis
In tennis, Dunbar won the championship in both singles and doubles. Jean Bellegarde, of Dunbar, was the outstanding singles champion. Armstrong won the golf championship competing with Dunbar and Cardozo. Joe Hager won the individual low score honors.
The 1933 conference football season
son is expected to be the greatest in years. There are three teams that have championship hopes and the remaining three are not without hopes of one kind or another. The 1933 football schedule follows:
Sept. 29—Armstrong at Bates.
Oct. 6—Bates at Dunbar.
Oct. 6—Manassas at Douglass (non-conference).
Oct. 6—Armstrong at Howard.
Oct. 11—Manassas at Dunbar (non-conference).
Oct. 13—Cardozo at Howard.
Oct. 13—Douglass at Armstrong.
Oct. 20—Dunbar at Douglass.
Oct. 20—Bates at Cardozo.
Oct. 27—Howard at Dunbar.
Oct. 27—Cardozo at Douglass.
Nov. 3—Manassas at Armstrong (non-conference).
Nov. 3—Douglass at Howard.
Nov. 6—Cardozo at Dunbar.
Nov. 10—Bowie at Douglass (non-conference).
Nov. 13—Armstrong at Cardozo
Nov. 17—Douglass at Bates.
Nov. 17—Cardozo at Manassas
(non-conference).
Nov. 20—Dunbar at Armstrong.
Nov. 25—Bates at Howard.
St. Cyrians Triumph Over Anacostia Highlanders
The St. Cyprians triumphed over the Anacostia Highlanders by a 8 to 2 score, Sunday Datcher, who was starting pitcher for the Saints, held the Highlanders to four scattered hits. R. Ford, of the victors, banged out the longest hit of the game for a triple and scored by a sacrifice fly to Dyson. A snappy double play, Dyson to Ford to E. Henson, featured in the seventh and ended a Highlander rally. For games with the Saints write Edward Henson, 1250 Four-and-a-Half Street Southwest.
TIGERS VS. HILLSDALES
The Hillsdales and the LeDroit Tigers will clash Saturday in the Walker Stadium. Both teams are members of the Tri-State League. The game is scheduled to be called at 3 p.m.

LOCAL GOLFERS OUT FOR TITLE
Royal Club Members Leave for Championship Play at Shady Rest When the Eastern golf tournament gets under way on Monday at Shady Rest Golf Course, Westfield, N.J., Washington will be well represented. The winner of this tournament will be awarded the championship. The Royal Golf Club of this city has among its members some of the outstanding golfers of the country. There is Harry Jackson, who is now the Eastern amateur champion, having won it at Cobb's Creek, Philadelphia, last year. He is one of the best golfers in the East, his iron play is considered the best and being a good golfer, he has no trouble with his woods.
Harry is one man the winner will have to beat. Pleasant Goodwin is a very good golfer and the boys will have to keep their eyes on him if they want to win, and there is Dr. Albert Harris, who swings a good nibic. Beltran Barker has his eyes on this tournament, too, and it is to be remembered that he plays a good game.
Dr. George Adams is hitting the ball consistently this year and should give the boys something to shoot at. Jimmie Williams is another to be reckoned with, and should make Shady Rest look shorter than it is.
The tournament is 72 hole medal play and will have three classes, A, B, and C. Each will have two winners, first and second. Following the tournament there will be a dinner dance with Don Redmon's band to furnish the music.
LEAGUE PLAY TO START
Teams wishing to join the Walker Stadium League are requested to communicate with Clarence Pendleton, director. The following teams have filed entry blanks: Barons, Trinidad Giants, Gladiators, Bearcats, Aztecs, and Vagabonds. The league will start playing this

The public will please be advised herein, that the charming Valaida Snow, star of many shows, more recently "Rhapsody in black," and Ed Fox's Grand Terrace Cafe, has safely weathered the storm brought up by Papa Berry last week, in which he tried again to shatter the Snow-Ananias Berry match-marriage.
The little girl's lawyer, Albert Sabath, of Chicago, flew to Media, via. Eastern Air Transport, last Friday, and produced papers showing that the little lamb, who has thrilled thousands, was properly and justly wedded to young Berry in Media, Pa., and that the little dear had also been properly and justly untied from friend and husband No. 1, Sidney (King Knappy) Lanier, in Atlanta some years ago. So, the charge of bigamy for stagedom's most-talked-of woman has vanished into thin air.
Point Number Two: Be similarly advised that the nice little summons thrust into her trumpet-playing mitts on a. N.Y.C. street last week (also by Papa-Berry, himself) has got the Berry-pa the razzberry. The summons was to hale her into court to show cause why the marriage (dated June, 1931) should not be annulled.
But, listen: safely armed with the good old Pa. State marriage laws, Miss Snow's attorney showed that both bride and groom were of perfectly legal age to make the match binding. And the court dismissed that also.
In Pennsylvania the girl can be 16 and the boy 18, and it's a legal go; and if they stay together one day, that settles it. And be advised that the reporter for the New York Age who wrote the story without seeing both parties missed a lawsuit, for his paper only through the kindness of heart of Valala. And all the while her mother languishes in sick misery out in Deanwood here. Now for the shows this week:
The Stiefels, Alex, Nathan and Sam, have again presented a darn good bill. Indeed, with the presence of that star of the first "Blackbirds," Tim Moore, the Grand Old Man comedy, who was doing his stuff when you and I were tots, the show could not be anything but good.
Indeed Mr. Moore, who was a contemporary of the late Bert Williams, gives us as fine a presentation of clean comedy as will ever be found in any burnt-cork act, and with his partner, Joyner, aiding him, the pair does credit to any show.
Mericie Marquez, as chic as ever, makes a most dainty soubrette, and really takes the house in a dance number featuring much writhing done by Ristina Banks's dancing daughters. (The audience wanted more of it, but was ashamed to ask for it.)
Walter Sullivan, a master xylophonist, if the Negro race can boast of one, was an outstanding bit of the show, which featured Benny Carter, late of the Cotton Pickers, and his orchestra.
Grace Jones, singing with the band, shows talent with a nifty voice. A new setting for the band gives a most effective background for the fine numbers done on the program.

Perhaps it may seem somewhat out of place to introduce an angle of the kind I am about to touch upon, in a column, and especially in a column which has done everything in its power to remain neutral in all controversies.
However, I am moved by some force to hand down to you a bit of a statement, more a sentiment, or an attitude, than anything else.
It makes me happy to tell you both, that I am deeply touched by the evident kindness and congenially fine treatment given to me by both of you, yet I am compelled to ask each of you a question. I have been advised (by reliable sources) that each of you feel that I have, on certain occasions, shown partiality towards one or the other of you. It seems (according to my, informant) that neither of you like that. To be very frank with you, I don't like it either; in fact, I can't even understand how such an idea could ever creep into either of your thoughts.
You both know for yourselves, that during the past few years that I have been here and have been reviewing your shows, especially for the dear old Associated Negro Press, and its wide national memberships, I have never shown any attitude other than one of constructive fairminded interest, and you both know, too, that I have always done my bit towards giving your projects a boost. In that respect I have never "reneged" on either of you.
Now, this is no squawk, but the information which reached me last week has touched me so deeply that I am compelled to say something, and here does:
The life of a newspaperman is a hard one. Firstly, it is a thankless job; then, it is one which brings us Fourth-Estaters a lot of knocks, whenever we fail to say all the nice things about your boy Johnny, and forget the bad things. It seems that to get along we must forget the bad things. Now, I ask you, is that being true to one's duty? You can answer that yourselves.
All I can say is this: I am reviewing these shows for the beloved Tribune AS I SEE THEM. I am not trying to say how the paper feels about your show. The paper knows that each of you are going to do your very best to give us A-1 shows here in Washington, and there is no dissatisfaction on that score. We simply say, "go to it." We are with you, 100 per cent, and I, personally, am with you, and my ANP is with you, and your patrons are with you. You are both doing excellently. Let's try to get along.
Don't knock the poor critic because he finds more merit in one act at one house than he does in some other act at another house. That is the way of the stage: some acts must be better than others. You know that. So take these reviews in the spirit in which they are given.
And while on that same point, let me add that I am sure my friend Laundry feels
HELL BELOW
ROBERT MONTGOMERY---Madge Evans--Jimmy Durante---WALTER HUSTON
just as I do about it. We are not squawking, you folks have been mighty darn nice to us. And especially I am speaking for Andy. To the Stiefels, and the Lightmans, I want you to know that I am not forgetful of any favors done in days behind us, not at all. So come on, and let's look at this thing right. After all, you know, folks in your positions and folks in our positions must be friends. We need each other, so let's act that way. And that's that. Do I hear from you? ANDY.

"ZOO IN BUDAPEST,"
"ELMER THE GREAT"
AT RAPHAEL
"Zoo in Budapest," reported as one of the most unusual pictures ever portrayed on the screen, comes to the Raphael Theatre on Sunday, July 2, for an engagement of four days. It is the first independent production by Jesse L. Lasky under the banner of Fox Film. The story, built around the activities and the atmosphere of a great zoological park, deals with the romance of a young man who has lived all his life among the animals, and a simple, unsophisticated orphan girl who comes to the zoo for a lesson in natural history. The two meet for the first time and, drawn by an unknown urge, find themselves strangely in love with each other. But back of this gentle theme of young love lies the terrifying pattern of caged beasts.
Followers of Joe E. Brown will see the versatile comedian in what is probably the greatest role of his long laugh-making career when his latest First National picture, "Elmer The Great," opens at the Raphael Thursday, July 6.
There is every reason why this hilarious comedy-drama of big league baseball should fit Joe E. Brown more perfectly than any role he has yet played.
team of "Reds and Struggie," well known here, return from stands in Chicago, Cleveland, Columbus, and points mid-west, to take the spot in the feature act, their well-done eccentric dance and song bit. The Suburban Gardens was the birthplace of this act, I am glad to say, for Washington's sake. All told, it was a dandy show, and good.
THE LINCOLN
Our other favorite, the U Street playhouse, also put up a darn good show, with the feature being none other than the much-discussed Valaida Snow, with her voice and her little trumpet, both of which came forth to do their usual superb artistic stuff. Despite a cold, Miss Snow was most effective, and her audience received her most happily.
Foster and Badie, comics (without cork) were held over, and went over well—Badie minus his tap steps, but good just the same.
From an extended RKO run came the Three Rhythm Kings, Sammie, Willie and Dick, to show again why they are rated A-1 in the world of team tapping and dancing.
A cute little girl (name unknown) in one of Addison Carey's choruses, was the feature of the chorine group, and the entire chorus gave D.C. a good idea of just what the name "Addison Carey' means, and why.
Ralph Cooper, the newly produced master of ceremonies, was a treat to the eyes of the "ladies fair," just bubbling over with personality, but rather weak as a band leader. Like Baron Lee, and Abdul Ali (Philly) and other dancing orchestra leaders, Ralph is a dancing man, but with such an orchestra behind him as the Hardy Brothers, there was no reason why he should not click. He did.
And while in that neighborhood, let me say that the Negro race does not have a band which can excel the Hardy Brothers in playing the well-loved "sweet music," languorous and harmonious. Whether this reaches print or not, it is a fact, that this orchestra is the greatest Negro orchestra in the business when it comes to the kind of music we like when the lights are soft and low, and that is sweet music. I suggest that they stick to it and thereby give themselves an individuality not possessed by any other colored band. And that's not a comment on the show. That's from me to you.
Incidentally
McKinney's Cotton Pickers played before a crowd of five thousand whites and sepia dancers at Rocky Mount, N.C., last Monday night, at the fifty-third annual colored June German (North Carolina's outstanding yearly dance event). Paul Tremaine and his band from Lonely Acres played for the pale German the previous Friday night.
Steve Miller, who managed the Suburban Gardens last year, is staging shows at the Attucks Theatre in Norfolk, Va., for the Lichtmans. Gallie De Gaston, George Williams, Joal Thomas, Julia McKinney, Hartwell Cook, and Ben Jones's Royal Hamptonians are featured.
Johnny (Wah Wah) Hudgins's ex-male, Mildred Martina, is in Washington, doing the streets in Southwest, D.C., I hear. I'm gone.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1933
Here we see why Charles Ruggles is glad that he's in "Melody Cruise," the screen show at Howard
"MELODY CRUISE" AND "LUCKY TO ME" AT HOWARD FOR WEEK
To usher in a real week of entertainment at the Howard Theatre, "The Lucky to Me" revue makes its way beginning Saturday. Bennie Carter and his band have been held over by popular demand, and with the addition of the new musical revue they will reach the high spots in entertainment. "No better music, singing and dancing will be found on any stage offering this season," asserts Manager Shep Allen. The screen brings a musical spree with a boatload of beautiful girls starring Phil Harris and Charles Ruggles in "Melody Cruise." Maddening music, wonderful girls and oceans of love is in this entertaining picture. No greater bill will be presented this season than the above mentioned.
On Wednesday the frolic of the amateurs with four cash prizes will be offered, and the week closes with the usual midnight show on Friday.
While enjoying the stage shows at the Howard'iced air keeps the theatre comfortably cool at all times. Ten tons of ice is used each day for this modern cooling system and sixty-seven thousand cubic inches of fresh air pours in every minute.
BEER RACKET STORY BROADWAY FEATURE FOR TWO DAYS ONLY
What America may expect from the gangster now that beer, his principal source of income, has been legalized, is shrewdly predicted in "Song of the Eagle" a drama portraying the march of events in America during the past two decades and in the months to come, which is to be shown at the Broadway Theatre Sunday and Monday July 2-3. The action of the picture centers around a respectable middle-class
"I Love That Man," a drama of a woman's devotion to a man she knows is a crook, opens at the Republic Theatre Friday June 30, for a three-day run.
Edmund Lowe, who plays the male lead, emerges as one of the slickest confidence men that ever made a play for dollars and dames in a perfectly grand love story.
Nancy Carroll is excellent as the woman who won't take "no" for an answer, tags along with the two-timing Lowe because she loves him, and bides her time for the wedding that's bound to come.
"Murders in the Zoo," mystery melodrama featuring Lionel Atwill, Charles Ruggles and Kathleen Burke (the Panther Woman), will be shown at the Republic Theatre, Monday-Thursday, July 3-6
The story centers around a madman who is insanely jealous of his wife. En route from India to the United States, he notices that one of his fellow-passengers is paying her an unusual amount of attention—he bides his time for a horrible revenge.
The jealous husband kills his wife's admirer, and the wife suspecting that her husband is connected with the killing, hastens to tell the zoo officials of her suspicions. But she is brutally murdered before she can cry out her plans.
A breathless climax is reached, when the madman turns loose the wild beasts of the zoo, as he is confronted with evidence of his guilt by a young scientist with the stuff.

Tire Manufacture and Singing Color Fountain
Draw Huge Crowds at.“A Century of Progress”
During the early weeks of “A
Century of Progress” the spectacu-
Jar Firestone Factory and Exhibi-
tion Building with its Singing Col-
or Fountain, has been a magnetic
drawing power. Always noted for
his advanced factory engineering,
Harvey S, Firestone is the only
manufacturer with an exhibition of
tite making at the Fair, making it
possible for millions of visitors’ to
see the patented process and
world’s most efficient tire machin-
ery.
The crowds have flocked to. the
amazing modersistic “building,
Lief Erickson, Drive and 23rd
Street. Thousands of people have
always wanted to see tites manu-
factured — and particularly have
wanted to see how Firestone Tires
were Gum-Dipped.
‘They see at this Fair exhibition
automatic machines that are al-
most human—chromium plated ma-
chinery that gleams as it rapidly
transforms rubber into automobile
tires. First in the production line,
for instance, is a huge mixing ma-
chine—it weighs almost 50 tons—
as the rubber is massed loud-crack-
ling sounds fill the building as if
game glant were amusing hiinsell
with chewing gum,
The Firestone building differs
widely from the majority in that
much of the Firestone space is de-
voted to gardens where visitors
may relax and enjoy the beauty of
the spectacle,
In We rie hall of The Hall of
Science, Firestone has prepared for
“A Century of riots aa an edu-
cational and scientific exhibit of
rubber, which is attracting unusual
attention.
In the gardens in front of the
building is a pool 100 feet. Jong by
15 feet wide, in which are installed
six. beautiful dome-shaped foun
tains of mist-like spray, with a jet
of water in the center rising twen-
ty feet above the surface.
This- marvelous fountain is
known as the “Firestone Singing
Color Fountain"—the first one of
its kind in the world. It is a mar-
vel of beauty and scientfic develop-
ment. The world’s greatest elec-
trical engineers have worked for
years on the various’ principle:
combined in this construction.
Voice and instrumental concerts
are given day and night by this
Singing Color Fountain,
Submerged beneath each foun-
tain dome is a battery of colored
lights that will reflect varied hues
and shades upon the misty foun-
‘tain domes, and these variations of
color will be synchronized perfect-
ly with the shadings of the musical
notes, and with the rise and fall of
the water.
Overlooking “the building and
gardens is another scientific mar-
vel that is the first construction of
its kind. It-is-in the-form of a
sign eighty feet long. Its shadow
planes are placed one upon the
other. and the result that you get is
an ever.changing multi-colored ar-
ray of gorgeous shadow effects,
melting into one another—advane-
ing toward you and then receding,
Tn the Exhibition Hall are the
dynamic displays showing by the
aid of scientific and engineering de-
velopment and by electrical devices

POSTALWORKER
HALEDTOCURT
BY WEFORSI
Accusing her husband of failure
to pay her $17.50, support money
due on June 15, Mrs. Effie C, Bur-
ton, Newport, Bl. filed a petition
through her attorney, Friday, to
have George A, Burton, District
postal employee, to show cause why
he should not be adjudged in con-
tempt of court.
‘The Burton rift first reached, the
courts in May of 1932, when Mrs.
Burton sued to enforce a mainten-
ance agreement, the couple having
previously separated. According to
irs. Burton’s petition, the husband
had agreed to pay $49 monthly for
10 months, then to pay $50 pet
‘month until their daughter should
reach the age-of 18, Thereafter,
Mr. Burton was to give his wife
$40 monthly.
“After the postal employee re-
ceived salary cuts, Mrs. Burton
agreed to accept $41 monthly... The
wife contended in her petition for
maintenance that Burton did. not
keep his agreement and got in ar-
rears by $123.50.
Wanted Reconciliation
‘The husband claimed that he did
not owe the wife $123.50, and asked
the court to dismiss her petition.
Justice Cox denied the motion.
Burton errs, filed an
answer to the petition claiming two
“drastic” salary cuts prevented him
from keeping the original agree-
ment. He claimed also that he had
asked his wife to return to live
with him.
On May 24, Justice Proctor or-
dered Burton to give his wife $17.50
femi-monthiy for maintenance. Ac
cording to the papers filed, Friday
the pera ‘employee paid $17.50 for
the first te! of Tone, but defaulted
on June 15, and it is this allegation
which threw the case actively into
court again, ;
‘The Burtons were married on
July8, 1916, in eee RL, and
lived together until March 19, 1982
when bcd had a separation agree.

Society Wins Case Against National Benefit Receivers
A rule to show cause against the United Benevolent Society, in the Masonic Temple, Tenth and U Streets, was dismissed by Justice Proctor in the District Supreme Court, Wednesday morning, when attorneys for the receivers for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company failed to make a case. The National Benefit attorneys claimed they had asked the society to vacate the premises on the ground floor, and sought to have it show cause why the order had not been carried out. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., repenting the society, in his answer told the court that his clients had never received notice of removal and had not been asked to leave the building. He also pointed out that agents of the receivers had unlawfully broken into the offices of the society.
Benjamin Reed, 13-year-old school boy, of 4910 Dean Avenue, Northwest, was awarded a $350 judgment in the Municipal Court, Tuesday, against John A. Hyder, 1913 Ninth Street. The case was heard before Judge James A. Cobb. The boy who was represented by Attorneys Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., and Edward P. Lovett, was struck by the automobile of Hyder, last November 21, while he was delivering newspapers. After the accident Reed was removed to Casualty Hospital, where he was treated for wounds of the head, arms and chest. Hyder claimed the accident was unavoidable, as the boy jumped in front of the car. Attorneys A. S. Pinkett and Edmund Hill represented Hyder.

St. John's Lodge Takes Steps to Repurchase the Masonic Temple
That the Masonic fraternity has not given up the idea of regaining the title to the big temple at Tenth and U Streets, Northwest, was evidenced in a resolution passed by St. John's Lodge this week, calling upon officers of all Masonic and affiliated bodies to meet at an early date to devise plans to that end.
At a public meeting some weeks ago at Asbury Church a beginning was made by an agreement to appoint a committee of one hundred to attempt to raise funds for the repurchase of the temple, the title to which is now in the National Benefit Life Insurance Company.
It is said that the building can be bought for $250,000 although it cost more than twice that much.
The Masonic lodges are still locked out because of arrears of rent and are meeting in various rented or donated places.

SPECIAL
In 5,022.1 miles of continuous motor operation for 182 hours and 50 minutes, Amoco-Gas and Oil kept the mileage high and the motor cool and sweet. No adjustments—no repairs. A tribute to the new Ford V.8—Amoco-Gas and Oil alike.
But that's the Amoco story. More miles to the gallon—greater riding comfort to the mile and fewer repairs to the car.
Make it Amoco all the way!
