NEGRO JAILER DEFIES LA PLATA WHITE MOB POLICE SEEK WOMAN WHO GAVE EVANGELIST POISONED SANDWICH La Plata Jailer, Once a Farmer, Locks Up Colored and White John F. Dorsey, Aged 60, Has Had Only One Man to Leave His Prison Without Bidding Him Good Bye The Most News Cleanest News Latest News Vol. XIII, No. 11 POLIC EVA DID NOT FEAR MOB, SAID JAILER Had Pistol Ready, but Ordered to Permit Search of Jail By E. W. BAKER LA PLATA, Md.-Fifty white mobbists, carrying sledge-hammers and a rope, bent upon lynching Page Jupiter, 42, alleged slayer of a Maryland farm woman, spirited away a bare ten minutes before their appearance, met an armed 60-year-old colored jailer protesting their actions, Monday, at midnight. Sensing the danger of a lynching, Sheriff R. V. Cooksey had slipped away the prisoner who had been held in jail since Saturday, the day the woman was discovered with her head crushed in with an ax. Where pandemonium reigned over the courthouse and jail yard, the previous night, a mottled white Leghorn rooster calmly picked grass Tuesday. No sign of the night of terror was visible. Duty Overcame Fear John F. Dorsey, the 60-year-old colored jailer, whose sense of duty in the protection of his prisoners and his jail is so inherent that he felt no fear in face of the mob, vividly narrated the "worst experience" he ever had, to a representative of The Tribune. No, I wasn't afraid when I saw that big mob," Dorsey began his narrative. "I was not afraid be- La Plata Jailer, On Locks Up Colored John F. Dorsey, Aged 60, Has to Leave His Prison Bidding Him Goo John F. Dorsey, sixty-year-old jailer of La Plata, Md., who was defiant in face of a mob of fifty would-be lynchers who stormed the jail bent on lynching Page Jupiter, has held down his post for the past nine years, having been appointed by R. Vernon Cooksey, white, sheriff of Charles County. Both colored and white prisoners are given to his charge. Mr. Dorsey was born in Ballalden, Md., and has been living at La Plata since he stopped railroading 35 years ago. At that time he purchased 135 acres of land and began farming. Some time later, he purchased a second farm containing 112½ acres. Married 40 Years The jailer has been married for forty years to Mrs. May O. Dorsey, and the couple has five boys and two girls. Two of the sons are now in government service at Camp Monroe, Va. Although Mr. Dorsey is not boastful, he points with a finger of pride to his past life and to the esteem with which he is held throughout the community. "I've never been discharged from any place of employment," he told me, and added, "I've never been in a fight. I've never been arrested, neither have any of my children." The elderly jailer is philosophical in his speech, but when he tells of the gespect and good feeling that Third Bapt.Church Funds Held A. who was threatened by a mob while in jail at La Plata Md., accused of murdering a white woman.

The prisoner was a white man by the name of Frank Webster. Because of some infraction of the rules, Webster had to be confined to a cell, which caused him to form a dislike for his colored jailer. Mr. Dorsey relates that he brought the man tobacco, steaks, and showed him other considerations in an effort to win him over, but he never succeeded. All Types in Jail At one time he had six murderers in his little two-story brick building. His inmates include many persons from Washington, Baltimore, and other nearby places, and are composed of both races, male and female. His wife assists him with the supervision of the female prisoner. Although never having been a soldier, Mr. Dorsey has a military carriage. He is dark of complexion, about 5 feet 10 inches in height and weighs about 180 pounds. His beard is completely gray, but the hair on his head has only changed color around the edges. Mr. Dorsey's supreme desire is to aid an unfortunate person wherever possible and do his sworn duty even if it costs his life. --- GANGING CAUSED FATAL SHOOTING IN PLEASURE PARK Special Officer Freed in Death of Man Who Tried Slaying Ended 3 weeks of Trouble from Gangs of Young Men Testifying that he shot James Spriggs, 26, of 4640 Hunt Place, Northeast, who died on June 5, as the man and his gang closed in upon him in an attempt to free a prisoner, Special Officer Leo A. Watkins, 34, of Suburban Gardens, was freed by a coroner's jury, Friday. The verdict followed corroborative statements by two fellow special officers, James English and Oscar Millard, and character statements by Captain Marks of the Eleventh Precinct. Patrolman Frances A. Waters testified as to the troubles with gangs of hoodlums in and near the pleasure resort. Lingered Three Days Springs was shot in the dance pavilion on June 2, lingering three days with the bullet wound which pierced his intestines and stomach before lodging in his spinal column. He died at Gallinger Hospital. Watkins gave as his version of the shooting the following: He and the two special officers named above were in the office of the resort when a woman screamed, "There's a fight in the dance pavilion." Admits Fighting The trio rushed to the pavilion to quell the disturbance. They met Thomas Burrows, 17, who was bleeding with a wound in the head. Investigation led Watkins to ask William A. Johnson, 24, of 428 Fifth Street, Northeast, about the assault. When Johnson admitted striking the lad, Officer Watkins placed him under arrest. "Spriggs (the dead man) walked up and caught hold of Johnson, my prisoner, and told me to let him go," narrated Watkins. "I told him to let my prisoner alone. I pushed him back several feet. When he kept closing in on me with his hand in his pocket, I warned him several times to not come any closer. His gang began closing in too. When Spriggs was about a foot and a half from me, continued Watkins. "I fired a single shot. I felt like he was going to kill me." Grand Closes Up After the shooting Watkins stated he told Officer Millard to hold off the crowd, which was coming, on fast, until he could take Johnson, the prisoner, to the box. Johnson was given a 25-day sentence, subsequently, on the assault charge, and had to be brought from Ocequan for the coroner's hearing. Watkins told of trouble with (Continued on page 2) Tribune Sponsors Movement to Recover Government Jobs; Mass Meeting Called for Friday Night Don't Take It Lying Down Last week several hundred faithful colored government employees were fired from their jobs. They were civil service appointees. Many of them have served the government ten years and more. Most of them are heads of families, whose sole support they are. They were told that they were fired in the interest of economy, yet at the same time the government was re-employing hundreds of white employees but no colored. All sorts of discriminations were practiced in oursthese people from their jobs. Men and women, who for years had been given high efficiency ratings, suddenly found themselves dropped to the bottom of the list so that they and not their less efficient white fellow employees would be discharged. Some were discharged because a husband or wife was also employed in the service, despite the fact that the joint wage of the two working members was barely enough to support the family. Yet white married couples receiving joint salaries of more than $4,000 were left untouched. In the face of this comes the more disturbing news that additional thousands of Negro workers will lose their jobs soon. The Washington Tribune calls the attention of its readers to the significance of this news. It means that the buying power of the Negro in Washington will de- (Continued on page 6) Mrs. Mattie Lee Ware, 27, of 302 I Street, Southeast, died at the home of her aunt, Mrs. Lucinda Mack, of 604 I Street with whom she was visiting, Friday. Mrs. Ware arrived at her aunt's home in apparently good health, becoming sick several hours later. Dr. Katts of Casualty Hospital was summoned, making his departure after administering first aid treatment. Later, Dr. Trunk W. Gray, of D Street, Southeast, was also called, and said that the woman's illness was apparently due to piomaine poisoning. Dr. Katts was summoned a second time; he pronounced Mrs. Ware dead. Funeral services for Mrs. Ware were held at the St. Matthews Baptist Church, Monday. Survivors include; husband, William Joseph Ware; sons, Joseph Willard and Clarenge; daughter, Joana; father, Bill Merrill; sisters Emma Johnson, Jessie Wyart, and Emma Banks; brother, George Merrill.

TWO WASHINGTON ATTORNEYS ENTER THE JUPITER CASE Houston and Lovett Take Up Defense, Judge Promises Fair Trial Two Washington attorneys spent Wednesday investigating the Page Jupiter case in Charles County, Maryland. They are Charles H. Houston, vice-dean of the Howard Law School, and newly appointed member of the board of education, and Edward P. Lovett, honor graduate of the Howard Law School in 1982, and now practicing here. They visited several towns in the county and held conferences with the presiding judge, the state's attorney, the sheriff, and the jailer. They asked permission of State's Attorney Edward B. Edelin to visit and confer with Jupiter, now held in jail in Baltimore. The state's attorney refused to grant that request. Negroes on Juries The attorneys then went to Judge Diggs, and asked him for a permit to confer with Jupiter. He, too, refused. He said: "I intend to see that this case is treated as any other case of its kind. I do see that it should be (Continued from page 6) RALEIGH, N.C.—(CNS)—After receiving their first "camp money" $5, a number of the boys at the Civilian Conservation Camp on Belle Island hit the trail for home.

The whole island is infested with rattlesnakes, sand-flies, red bugs, mosquitoes, and other pests that make life miserable." MAN, 51, USES BAYONET ON YOUTHEUL ENEMY Charges of assault with a dangerous weapon were placed against Herman Payne, 51, of 129 O Street, Southwest, Sunday, at the Fourth Precinct, when he was accused of stabbing Clyde Jones, 24, of 1901 First Street, Northwest, in the left chest with a bayonet.

Realizing the need for immediate and concerted action to secure re-employment of those dismissed and to prevent further widespread dismissals from bringing more misery to Washington's Negro families, a complete plan of action has been agreed upon and put into operation by The Tribune and the league. A steering committee for the two organizations and for groups of employees already dismissed began early this week to establish contacts with the American Federation of Government Employees and the Civil Service Reinstatement League, and the Federation of Federal Employees. These groups are at work on similar programs. Plans for joint action with white employees have been formulated. Representatives of the American Federation of Government Employees and the Civil Service Reinstatement League guaranteed that (Continued on page 6) A Hometown Paper of, by, and for Washingtonians VE DWICH d MINISTER IS IN CRITICAL CONDITION --- $220 LOAN OWED BY CONTRACTOR BRINGS LAW SUIT Payment After Garnishment Causes Court to Issue Attachment Four months of effort by the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, pastor of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, to collect $220 from a local contractor on a promissory note, to which the District Supreme Court says he is entitled, has caused the tieing up of the funds of the Third Baptist Church, the Rev. G. O. Bullock, pastor, by court order. A hearing on the tangled situation is scheduled to be held within a week or ten days. Wanted Loan Paid The somewhat complicated matter first reached the court in April, when the Rev. Mr. Jernagin sued Odell Parker, contractor, of 435 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest, for money due on a loan of $220 secured by a promissory note. The minister succeeded in securing a judgment against Parker on May 26. At the time the contractor was engaged in making repairs on the Third Baptist Church for the agreed sum of $1,400. The work was to be completed the latter part of May, or the first part of June. Church Treasurer Served Immediately after the judgment was given, a garnishment and attachment was. issued against any funds of the church belonging to Parker. A copy of the attachment was served on Walker J. Robinson, treasurer of the church, on May 31. Robinson filed answer on June 10, in which he claimed that the church was not indebted. According to an itemized statement, Parker was paid in full on May 27, four days before the treasurer was served. Testimony Conflicts On an oral examination, June 26, testimony of Mr. Robinson was to the effect that the officers of the church had paid two sums, aggregating $484.24, to creditors of Mr. Parker, after May 31, date of service of the attachment. The court gave a judgment of condemnation against the church for $220 and attorneys' fees, and costs. A motion to vacate the judgment was filed on behalf of the church. It contends that the church had no money belonging to Parker at the time of the attachment. This is in conflict with the testimony of the treasurer, who said money was nailed creditors after service. An attachment on all of the Third Baptist Church's funds followed. George A. Parker, attorney, is representing the Rev. Mr. Jernagin; Armond W. Scott is attorney for the contractor; W. L. Houston for the Third Baptist Church. HEART ATTACK FATAL IN TWENTY MINITES. Removed from his home in serious condition at 2:30 a.m., Sunday, Jasper Homes, 55, of 321 M Street, Southwest, was treated for heart failure at Providence Hospital by Dr. McLarney. He was pronounced dead of the alliment 23 minutes later. Price 7 cents Copy The Rev. Mr. Henry Denies That He Recognized the Culprit The Rev. Nathaniel G. Henry, 27-year-old member of the famous Henry Brothers, evangelists, who are conducting services at the Jerusalem Baptist Church, is lying between life and death in a third-floor room at 1835 Vernon Street, Northwest, while police in two cities are searching for an unknown woman who is alleged to have poisoned the young and popular preacher. According to the father of the brothers, the Rev. John I. Henry, a strange woman has been following the troupe of five brothers and father for over three months. At every service in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington during that period the woman has been in the audience. Given Poisoned Sandwich Tuesday afternoon about 6 o'clock she came to the house and asked for the evangelist. He went to the door and the two conversed for a while. The woman handed him two sandwiches which he ate. He immediately fell to the floor unconscious. On running from the house the woman was heard to exclaim, "They shot Becton, but I got you another way. You will never eat again." A search of the neighborhood was begun by police who failed to find the woman. Officers in Baltimore have been asked to look for her in that city, as she is supposed to have come from there and is known to the Rev. S. H. James, pastor of Leaderhall Baptist Church, Baltimore. An arrest is expected within a short time, police said. Denied Knowing Woman Dr. L. C. Whiting was summoned and administered first aid to the man and later sent contents of his stomach to the District chemist to determine the nature of the poison. Dr. Whiting waged an all night battle in an effort to save the man's life. However, he is not out of danger vet, the physician said. The Rev, Mr. Henry gained consciousness for a while early Wednesday and told his father he did not know who the woman was and denied ever having seen her. However, many are of the opinion that she became madly in love with the young preacher after hearing him in Baltimore and has followed him since. Threatened Another It was also reported that the same woman threatened another woman about the minister, and at that time stated that the Rev. Mr. Henry was her husband. Just why he would eat a sandwich given him by an unknown woman is not known. There are five brothers in the troupe here. They are, besides Nathaniel, John L., Earl E., Oliver D., and William W. The group gained considerable authority in Philadelphia following a series of articles in a paper in that city lambasting the troupe. The father of the boys is a native of Eastern Shore, Md., and he and his sons and wife have traveled extensively in the Eastern part of the United States where they have conducted evangelistic services. On leaving here they will return to Baltimore and the Leadenhall church. (Continued on page 8) Where is Cash of National Benefit? Asks Risher A A Successful Career is Not a Mere Happening.

FEARING, Manager Phone: N. 5026 RECEIVERS REPORT A BALANCE OF $283,130 Ex-President Says Figures Represent Not a Nickel in Money A financial statement by the receivers of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company filed in the District Supreme Court, Monday, discloses that the company had a total income of $655,700 during the one year and three months and 20 days from September 31, 1931, to December 31, 1932, with a total disbursement of $372,569.04. Although these figures reveal that there was a balance of $283.130.96, John T. Risher, former president of the company, pointed out after the report was filed that this "balance" does not represent a "nickel in cash." Cites Large Salaries This so-called balance is accounted for by ledger assets of four items representing the following: book value of real estate (less embromances), $286,355.96; mortgage loans on real estate, $44,033.69; industrial liens, $7,38.040 and agents balances, net, $5,511.27. Mr. Risher, after having analyzed the report stated that the largest item represented in the balance is real estate in the state of Georgia, and he said that from his personal knowledge taxes had not been paid on this property in two years. The last item is supposed to represent what the receivers thought the agents had in their possession at the time the report was made up. Mr. Risher pointed out. He also so asserted that the receivers are using the cash of the company as fast as it comes in for large salaries for operating. More than $70,000 has been paid in such salaries in this area alone. Mr. Risher said. The report was for the modified form of insurance which the receivers have been conducting and was not a report on the insolvent company. The former president also stated that the receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr., both white, are conducting an insurance business without complying with certain laws governing insurance.

Since the project is to be self-liquidating it will be referred to the board of public works for inclusion in President Roosevelt's emergency employment program. $30 Rental As designed by Carl C. Britsch and Harold H. Munger, Toledo architects, the model apartments would cover 54 acres in the Thirteenth Street-Indiana-Wabash-Belmont Avenue district. They would meet the requirements of 1,747 families, or approximately 7,000 persons, amounting to half Toledo's colored population. These families of low income whose social status and resources compel them to live in instanitary and undesirable homes and to pay excessive rentals. Their rentals now, according to the 1930 census, averages $30 a month. In the modern apartments the average rental would be $5.90 a room or $23.00 for four rooms with all-sanitary facilities and modern conveniences. The housing corporation, of which Rheades and Smith are officers, is not for profit. The capital stock is nominal and no dividend ever can be paid to stockholders, and no return of any kind made them upon their capital stock.

RED CAB COMPANY INNOCENT MAN'S AND DRIVER FACE SLAYER ELUDES SUITS FOR $10,000 D. C. POLICE The Red Cab Taxi Company, of 1703 Seventh Street, Northwest, and one of its drivers, Albert T. Liser, a driver of the 200 block Vermont Avenue, Northwest, were made defendants in suits for $10,000 instituted against them by the Capital Traction company as a result of an accident which cost the life of an employee. The suits were brought on behalf of Mrs. Marie L. Charron, white, administratrix of the estate of Albert M. Charron, an electricion killed in the Union Station Place by a cab driven by Liser, in October. The traction company contends that under the workmen's compensation act it will have to pay the widow until the amount does not exceed $7,500, and they wish to be reimbursed. In its bill the company contends that the driver of the auto, Liser, did not exercise due care of his machine and was driving in excess of 22 miles per hour. The victim died a few hours after he was struck by the machine.

His condition was not serious. GOVERNMENT WORKERS! Have You Been Fired? Are You in Danger of Being Dismissed? Come to a Police are on the alert to capture William Smith, 35, of 468 Ridge Street, Northwest, who shot and killed Fonnie Nelson, 25, of 1227 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, an innocent observer of an altercation, Monday.

CAPITAL VIEW REALTY COMPANY NAtional 9590 927 New York Avenue, N.W. DR.EUGENE NELSON IN NEW LOVE TANGLE White Man Sues for Steal ing Wife's Love; Helen Says He's Fickle LOS ANGELES. Cal.-Behind the stoutly barred door of his Wiltshire Boulevard mansion. Dr. Eugene C. Nelson, pondered today on the latest amazing turn in the story of his romantic career. The erstwhile husband of Helen Lee Worthing, white, blonde, former Follies girl, denied himself to visitors, among whom were process servers from the office of Attorney H. L. Davis. They sought audiences with Dr. Nelson in connection with the $100,000 suit filed against the physician in which Leo F. Desmond accuses him of pilfering the love of Margaret Fay Desmond, white, Virginia-born brunette beauty. Miss Worthing Irate Miss Worthing, who recently strangely disappeared from an eastbound train and her equally mysterious reappearance under an assumed name in a Los Angeles hotel, was talkative. She explained that the doctor, under whose care she had been despite their divorce, had "started her East." She declared: "Now the reason is obvious. He confessed to me he was torn between my blonde beauty and Mrs. Desmond's brunette charm. He was expressing his feeling for her in love letters written to her at her home in Freeport, L.I." The doctor, Miss Worthing hazarded, wrote better than he knew—for suddenly he found that Mrs. Desmond had accepted his alleged invitation to come to Los Angeles, which, said the ex-Follies beauty, made the suggestion of a New York trip for her extremely timely. To telephone inquiries, a man who said he was Dr. Nelson declared he was "very much distressed" at the Desmond suit. Mrs. Desmond, he said, had come into his menage only as a receptionist and not as an object of affection. He added that she had gone to the country to recuperate from the "exciting events" of the past few days. Mansion Damaged Mute witness to the "excitement" was borne by a torn screen, through which Demond claims he gained entrance into the Nelson home and a telephone which Desmond says he tore from its moorings in his rage at finding his wife's effects in the Nelson mansion. The young woman, now working as Nelson's stenographer, made this declaration Monday, when she discussed the sensational romance of two races. She said: "I never loved my husband. I tried to, but I couldn't. We separated after two weeks of married life, and I went back to him, but it couldn't last. I shall ask an annulment." Mrs. Desmond said that she met Dr. Nelson in May, 1932, and went to work for him six weeks later. She added. "I knew he was of Negro blood, but it made no difference. I loved him so much that I did not tell him. I was married until I went East and then wrote to him. My husband knew that Dr. Nelson and I were going together. I intend to stand by Dr. Nelson in this affair." LOS, ANGELES, Cal.-Nora Holt, world famous actress-singer, said to eclipse the celebrated Josephine Baker as America's most outstanding colored entertainer, denies emphatically that she is contemplating marriage to Dr. Eugene Nelson. During the past few days, there has been a persistent rumor to the effect that the popular Miss Holt is to be the next wife of Dr. Nelson, and that her presence in the city at this time has a deeper significance than has been announced. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL GANGING CAUSED FATAL SHOOTING (Continued from page 1) Sunday prior, he had to summons aid from the Eleventh Precinct in order to make an arrest. Two Sundays before the shooting Watkins related that a man ran up and said that someone was mudering a woman. When he went to investigate, Spriggs asked him, "What are you doing meddling in' our business?" Watkins stated. During his recital, the officer told the jury that two persons who had testified, William Gordon Savoy, of 4814 Sheriff Road, Northeast, and John Waverly Sollers, were members of "Spriggs's gang." Savoy, who was just recently employed as a helper around the stands at the Gardens, testified. "After Watkins grabbed Johnson, Spriggs walked up as if he was going to say something. About that time I heard a shot. I was about 25 feet away, and Spriggs could have said something that I didn't hear." Sollers declared, "When Spriggs walked up as if he were going to say something, Watkins shot him. I didn't hear any conversation between the two." Johnson, who was brought to the hearing from prison stated in part, "Watkins grabbed me and told me to come on. I started with him. Spriggs asked the man where he was taking me. Watkins pulled out his pistol and told him to back off. Spriggs came up on my side and Watkins told him to go away. As Spriggs started to leave, backing up, Watkins shot him." Special Officer English stated that he heard Springgs tell Watkins to let go his prisoner and saw him advancing with his hand in his pocket. Millard told the same story. Watkins, who lives at 5711 Eastern Avenue, Northeast, was appointed as special officer on May 27. He is married. Spriggs was buried Monday, from the Church of the Incarnation, Deanwood. Mourning their loss are: mother, Mrs. Maggie Spriggs; five sisters and one brother. Skull of Boy, 4, Man, 30, Broken by Auto Trucks A four-year-old child and a thirty-year-old man received possible fractures of the skull and body bruises when they were struck by an auto truck, Friday. . .The boy, James Middleton of 1834 Ninth Street, Northwest, was injured while playing near his home on Ninth Street. He was detained at Freedmen's Hospital suffering with cuts and bruises of the skull. Frank Walker, 30, of 1528 Eighth Street, Northwest, injured by a truck also, had cuts and bruises of the scalp and right arm. He received treatment at Freedmen's Hospital, but despite the seriousness of his condition, refused to remain for thorough observation.

ME troptolian 9900 A HOUSTON, Tex., (ANP)—Apparently forgetful of the fact that human life has been shortened since the days when Methuselah lived to be nine hundred and sixty-nine, Judge Whit Boyd of the criminal court here meted out a sentence of 410 years at hard labor to 19-year-old Atali Collier, styled the "cap bandit" from his habit of extending his cap for the money with one hand while holding a pistol on his victim in the other. When captured June 3, Collier was in the act of relieving a gas station attendant of his collections, Collier pleaded guilty to the charges against him. He was sentenced to 10 years for attempted robbery; to 25 years in each of two robbery caser, and to 50 years for each of the seven remaining cases, a total of 410 years at hard labor in the Texas state penitentiary. Stabbed in Back After One Day Visit in Capital No doubt James Wall, 22, of Hamlet, N.C., a laborer on the Seaboard Air Line Railroad, wishes now that he had remained in the Southern city, for he had only been here one day, last week, when trouble overtook him. Wall was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, Thursday, suffering a stab wound in the back, inflicted by an unknown person at Sixth and Trumbull Streets, Northwest, shortly after he had arrived in the city. The injured man was detained at the hospital for observation, after first aid treatment.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Negro Youth Conference Lays Out Comprehensive Program Sets Up Organization Known as the Negro Youth Movement; Resolves to Co-operate With Movements for Racial Betterment but Bars Communists By Ishmael P. Flory for ANP CHICAGO—More than forty Negro youth assembled here in the Good Shepherd Congregational Church for the International Negro Youth Conference June 20-23, called by the International Student Club to consider the problems confronting Negro peoples and to formulate a plan of action. Donouncing the whole capitalistic system of exploitation that had made pariads of the Negro, the conference set up an organization that shall be known the Negro Youth Movement that proposes to study specific problems and to mobilize mass pressure to combat them. porated in the curricula of the schools; to agitate to have Negroes on boards of education and on faculties of publicly supported educational institutions and to oppose the establishing of separate board of education; to agitate for national health insurance legislation wherein each individual will be guaranteed adequate health care and all members of the health profession assured of an opportunity to practice his or her profession. 3. Politics: As immediate activities to investigate the records of men in public office and to agitate for the support or removal on the basis of the same; to adopt a non- The conferences opened with Edward E. Strong, local college student, giving the keynote address in which he gave the basis for calling the conference and outlined the general program for the convention. The problems considered were the economic inequality of the Negro peoples, lynching, discrimination and disfranchisement, education the church crimes, and imperialism. The use of mass-technique and the question of race consciousness versus national patriotism was discussed. No particular political philosophy was adopted, but the meeting closed with speakers from the Communist, the Socialist, the Republican and the Democratic partizan. The conference, in the writer's mind, throws itself open to criticism in that it refused to seat Negro delegates that represented the Young Communist League, thereby destroying the united front nature of the conference: The young Negro Communists, making up a large percentage of the delegates coming from points distant from Chicago, left, because of their opposition to the undemocratic nature of the conference. It seems to me also that the movement runs the risk of being too racialistic, failing to comprehend the close relationship of all groups in modern society. After resolving that it would become a permanent organization, the body went on record as being dedicated to the following programs: 1. Economic: to support only such enterprises as will employ Negroes under reasonable working and wage conditions and give proper advancement, and to supplement this by a persistent boycott of such enterprises as do not comply with the same; to agitate for the opening of all trade unions to blacks as well as whites; to work for the establishing of co-operatives especially in the south to promote the liberation of the exploited farmers; to agitate for social insurance 2: Social: wherever there exist effective civil rights bills, to file suits as often as possible against offending persons or institutions; to agitate for effective civil rights bills where none exists; to agitate for a federal anti-lynch bill and instruct local representatives and senators to do the same; to carry on sustained activities for adequate recreational and educational health conditions and initiate action for adequate provision therefor; to follow closely all state and federal legislation in the making and register repeated protest against, undesirable measures; to strive, to have adequate, and impartial study of the Negro incor- ALABAMA SUPREME COURT UP H O L D S PETERSON'S SENTENCE MONTGOMERY, Ala. (ANP)—The Alabama Supreme Court here, recently upheld the conviction of Willie Peterson and set his date of execution for August 25. The crime for which Peterson, residing on the outskirts of Birmingham, was convicted, occurred in August, 1931, when three white society women were kidnapped in their car, and Augusta Williams and Jennie Woods were shot to death. The survivor, Nell Williams, who was wounded, told police that a colored man had jumped on the running board of their car, forced them to drive to a lonely section, lectured to them on their treatment of his race, and that when they repulsed his sex advances, he shot and beat them. Several weeks after the murders, the surviving sister and an armed man friend captured Peterson, who Nell Williams accused of being the murderer. While he was being held in Jefferson county jail, a conference was arranged so that he might be questioned by police officials, and relatives of the dead women. At that time, in the presence of the police officers, Peterson was shot five times by Dent Williams, brother of one of the slain women. Williams was later given a hearing and freed on the grounds that he had brought a pistol to court and shot Peterson during a period of temporary insanity. Peterson was brought to trial, convicted and sentenced to death. The case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court by the N.A.A.C.P., and the local citizens' committee which is handling porated in the curricula of the schools; to agitate to have Negroes on boards of education and on faculties of publicly supported educational institutions and to oppose the establishing of separate board of education; to agitate for national health insurance legislation wherein each individual will be guaranteed adequate health care and all members of the health profession assured of an opportunity to practice his or her profession. 3. Politics: As immediate activities to investigate the records of men in public office and to agitate for the support or removal on the basis of the same; to adopt a nonpartisan minority technique; to strive through the press and through stump speaking to have the Negro masses vote intelligently and, where the Negro is disfranchised, to make as many test cases as possible. The group promises to co-operate with all organizations and movements which initiate and carry on activities corsant with its program. For, example, the movement takes the position that the churches to which Negroes belong play a dominant role in the life and destiny of Negro youth, and where the churches remain indifferent and inactive while their youth are hindered by a lack of social, economic and educational opportunities, some churches are often no more than social parasites, inculcating and promoting unhealthy superstitions and activities, so we insist upon an educated and adequately trained ministry. The national officers follow: Edward Strong, Chicago, chairman; John Gray, executive secretary; Miss Ada L'arvey, Chicago, treasurer; Miss Zenobia White, Chicago, secretary; Moran Weston, New York City, eastern organizer; Ishmael P. Flory, Los Angeles, Cal., western organizer; members of the executive board, Frederick Robb, Edward Fuqua and Alvin Canon of Chicago; Lucile Gains, of South Bend Indiana, and Lorenzo Spice, of Pittsburgh, Pa. ALABAMA TOWN FOR BIDS AGITATION FOR RELIEF ANDALUSIA, Ala.—A city ordinance which takes from the workers and poor farmers in and around Andalusia all rights to meet, demonstrate and publicly petition, has just been passed by Andalusia City Council. The ordinance was passed on June 20, three days after 500 white and Negro workers and farmers of Covington county had gathered, under the leadership of the Alabama Farmers Committee of Action, before the Covington county courthouse in this city to protest the stopping of relief by the R.F.C. and the stopping of flour by the Red Cross. By their united action, they forced the Red Cross to open its relief stations at once and to distribute hundreds of bags of flour. The attempt of the Red Cross officials on this occasion to set white and Negro against each other was met by the unanimous demand of the workers that all be served without discrimination. Ordinance With Teeth That the new city ordinance is designed to crush struggles of the unemployed and the farmers in Covington county is openly admitted in the Andalusia Star, whose issue of June 23 remarks that "The City Council...passed an ordinance with teeth in it, in order to meet any contingency which may arise as a result of the maneuvers of certain self-styled leaders who have been showing a disposition to foiment strife and unrest among the unemployed in this county. "...irresponsible agitators who undertake to play their game in Andalusia will be provided with police escort during their stay in the city." This Andalusia ordinance is the third of its kind passed in Alabama in recent weeks. Anniston and Montgomery have also passed ordinances taking all civil rights from the workers. The movement of the workers in all three cities is going forward in spite of this vicious legislation. Wheeler Wins Golf Title ATLANTA, Ga, (ANP) -Atlanta, a mecca for golf enthusiasts, has its sepia Bobby Jones. Howard Wheeler won first place in the Southern Negro open golf tournament at the Lincoln Country Club on the Fourth. With a par round of 69 that gave him a 72 hole total of 273, he teed and mashie-niblicked to the championship. C. P. Mack, of Jackson, Miss, and John Denny, of Asheville, N.C., the latter defending champion, shared second and third money with totals of 280, but they were tied by John Smith, Atlanta amateur. Clarence Chandler, of Atlanta, won fourth. Dan Gifford, of Nashville, Tenn., defeated Teddy Grimes of Atlanta, 3 and 2, for the Southern colored amateur championship.

FRIDAY, JULY 14, 1933 The Cotton Textile Code President Roosevelt has signed, and thus made effective, the cotton textile code as it was approved by the national recovery administration. As approved the code provides for minimum wages of twelve dollars a week in the South and thirteen dollars in the North, and a maximum of 40 hours of work a week. In the vital matters of wages and hours, the code as approved is only slightly changed from the original draft adopted by the cotton textile trade, and the exception of cleaners and outside workers from inclusion in the minimum wage and the maximum hour scales leaves these classes without any protection from exploitation. It is in these two categories that the bulk of colored workers in this industry are employed. Repair shop crews, engineers and some others are excepted from the 40-hour week limit, but they have compensation. As to these, the sixth clause of the conditions issued by the President says: 6. While the exception of repair shop crews, engineers, electricians and watching crews from the maximum hour provisions is approved, it is on the condition that time and one-half be paid for overtime. Since these classes of workers were already protected by the minimum wage scale, the provision for overtime pay puts them practically on a level with other protected employees. As for the cleaners and outside workers, the seventh clause of the conditions says: 7. While the exception of cleaners and outside workers is approved for the present, it is on condition that the planning and supervisory committee provided by section 6 (of the code) prepare and submit to the administration, by January 1, 1934, a schedule of minimum wage and of maximum hours for these classes. So it will be seen that the President has in mind that the excepted classes mentioned in the 7th condition need protection, although no reason is given for postponing it for six months. However, the six months' postponement will provide time during which the Negro Industrial League, the Urban League and other interested bodies may present the cases of these workers to the recovery administration. In connection with the promulgation of the code—which is to go into effect July 17—the President issued a statement. The statement says in part: In the eyes of the whole public, there was a great conference among the very leaders of our industries, labor and social service, presided over by government. It considered the most controverted question in the whole economic problem, wages and hours of labor, and has brought that question to a definite conclusion. It dealt with facts and facts only. There was not one word of accusation, and, most unthinkable of all, it arrived at a solution which has the unanimous approval of those conferring leaders on all three sides of the issue. I know of nothing further that could have been done. I can think of no greater achievement of cooperation, mutual understanding and good-will. This seems a bit strange in view of the fact that strong objections were raised to certain features—the forty-hour week, especially—and certain speakers, including our own John P. Davis, objected to the exception of the cleaners and outside workers from protection. But since the President uses the word "leaders," perhaps Mr. Davis and some other speakers are not considered, but that those referred to as leaders were the various advisory boards, which were appointed by the administration itself to sit as a sort of jury at the hearings. In any case, there is seeming opportunity for our side to get further hearing and possibly favorable action in this industry as well as in other codes yet to come up for consideration. Let our industrial and economic leaders and mentors get together and be prepared. A good beginning has been made. What to Do About It An anonymous correspondent writes to the Tribune of a young colored woman who was refused service at a lunch counter in a ten-cent store while the customer sat upon a stool at the counter—she was expected to eat her ice cream while standing. The store, the correspondent says, has a large colored patronage and he or she says that we should refuse to patronize such establishments—at least the letter seems to mean We do not name the store because, among other reasons, the writer fails to identify himself or herself, and we cannot act on such anonymous information. Moreover, that particular store is in all probability giving no different service from all similar stores. What our people should seek to find out is which stores—small and large—of all sorts do give us equal and courteous service and then patronize such businesses unless we know for certain that their goods are inferior or their prices excessive. A good index to those establishments which seek our patronage is found in those which approach us through advertising in our papers. There MAY BE others—but of these we KNOW. And even if circumstances compel buying at a store which discriminates at any counter in any manner, we can at least pass that counter if we know of it, and avoid the humiliation of discriminative treatment. After all, it is hardly conceivable that any ten-cent store has anything for sale that cannot be bought elsewhere—perhaps not always quite as cheaply. So it comes to this, we—or at least many of us—are willing to be humiliated for a few cents or to obtain what we think is "exclusive." To such it is useless to appeal. Not Too Churlish to Frankly Confess Error Our esteemed contemporary, the Norfolk Journal and Guide, graciously admits, editorially, its error in a premature announcement of the appointment of Editor Robert L. Vann as a "Special Assistant Attorney General," an office that so far as we know does not exist. However, in common with others of the fourth estate, we greet the announcement of his appointment as an assistant TO the Attorney General as an acknowledgement of the potency of the Negro press. The Tribune, among others, congratulates Editor Vann, notwithstanding our strong disagreement with him on certain economic—not political—policies, and on certain procedures, notably the fight of the International Labor Defense in the Scottsboro case. Even so, while we disapprove of a good deal of the violent language used by certain persons and papers in this case, and in other situations, we are far from holding that the I.L.D. "used" the case to advance any "cause" without regard to the fate of the boys. What Did Bob Get? In another column (if the make-up man does not slip up) will be found an account of the lucky strike of Robert Hoard, a colored prospector, in Colorado. Our account is frankly taken from an Associated Press dispatch, which describes the activities at and near Bob's "hole," but says nothing about how Bob himself is coming on—if he hasn't by some scheme or hocus pocus been ousted or frozen out altogether. Who can tell what Bob realized or is realizing from his find? Maybe Bob's case will turn out like that of the Negro boy in a story told by the late Eugene Debs. The boy was asked whether he knew where some fishing worms could be obtained. He said that he thought he knew where to get some. So he was engaged to get a few. The boy went away and in a short while returned with the fruits of his acumen and his labor. "That's a fine can of worms," said the man who engaged him. "How much shall I pay you?" The boy scratched his head a minute and answered: "Well, I think I ought to have half of the worms." Maj. Shrugg, in charge of a reforestation camp at Norwich, N.Y., replaced two colored clerks with white recruits. Twenty white and 144 colored men in camp cause us to wonder just why regular army men were rushed to camp to prevent rioting. If memory serves us correctly, it seems that riots are usually started when the whites are in the majority. INSPIRATION By Coleman G. Duckett When my Parnassian fire is spent, 'Tis then I take my cane and hat And with a most inspired intent, I hit me to my Laura's flat And talk with her of this and that. Tis true her speech is aimless tattle, Some idle theme of dance or dress— Some neighbors' fuss, some childish prattle Of her pet cat in sore distress— To me, all this is loveliness. For Laura's hair is dark as night, When night is beautiful to see; Yet holds incaged a witching light That prods the slumbering muse in me To dream of moons and ships at sea. Folks wonder what I see in her, Who am of serious mind and mien: When God would the Atlantic stir Does He disturb its glassy sheen, Or move its depths with hands unseen? I look and listen, wrap in awe— What tho' her feline lives or dies, What tho' her neighbors hem and haw—? Wisdom deep is for the wise, But lyrics live in Laura's eyes. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE.

Ben: "I was born in Missouri and came here as a young man and have been here ever since." Mrs. Ben: "I have lived here all my life although all of my folks have moved away." Guest: "What line of employment do you follow, may I ask?" Ben: "I'm a tyler, having learned the trade back in Missouri. My wife finds plenty of work in the community." Guest: "How do you get along with the white people?" Ben, and Mrs. Ben: "We never have any trouble. They treats us all right. 'Deed we are kept so busy working that there is little time to think of anything else. We naturally spends our spare time to ourselves." Guest: "Where do you go to church?" Ben and Mrs. Ben: "We goes to Springfield to church every Sunday. It is only fourteen miles and the train make it in three quarters of an hour." Guest: "How many churches are there in town?" Ben: "Some five or six of different denominations." Guest: "Why do you not attend one of these?" Ben and Mrs. Ben: "We naturally feel more at home with our own people." Guest: "Do you ever attend local churches on any occasion?" Ben and Mrs. Ben: "No. The white people prefer their own churches; so do we." Guest: "Have you any children?" Ben and Mrs. Ben: "No. If we had children we would move to Springfield. We expect to go there any how when we have made a little more headway." Guest: "Has either of you ever been East?" "No," said Ben, "no further than Springfield." Mrs. Ben chimed in: "I have been East onct—as far as Pittsburgh." Guest: "And how long have you lived in this vicinity?" Ben: "I was borned in Missouri and came here as a young man and have been here ever since." Mrs. Ben: "I have lived here all my life, although all of my folks have moved away."

TO BED WITH THE BIRDS, UP AHEAD OF THEM The interlocutor's eyes began to grow heavy, in contemplation of the long tedious day's journey which lay ahead of him. To the query "about what time do you usually retire?" came the rejoinder, "we generally goes to bed with the birds and gets up ahead of them." I was ushered to a comfortable little bed room, after leaving orders to be called next morning in time for the outbound train for Cincinnati. I awoke before and obviated the call. I wended my way back to the little depot and boarded the same train from which I had debarked the previous evening. The conductor was glad to know that I had been accommodated and hauled me back to Springfield where I boarded, this time, the right train for Cincinnati. As I rode through Illinois and Ohio, I could easily vision hundreds of small towns with a negligible Negro contingent similarly situated as Mr. and Mrs. Ben. My mind turned to serious reflections to the outcome of the Negro when thinly distributed among white people. Will he be suffocated by a condescending kind-liness or die or social starvation?

SOCIAL STARVATION VERSUS SOCIAL SATIETY This same itinerary took me to Mound Bayou, Miss., where the contrast between Pleasant Plains and Mound Bayou was startling. On the one hand was social starvation; while on the other, one found social satiety. Even now one is disposed to query as to which of these two extremes is the more encouraging. The Negro has a most exuberant social nature which today finds its fullest opportunity to satisfy itself in Harlem. To him social starvation is the most hated form of death. This social isolation stands greatly in the way of his taking hold of the farm and finding a happy, satisfied life on the land. This is why he seeks the big city and helps race prejudice segregate himself. A satisfactory social environment must needs be devised before agricultural life will prove agreeable to him. With such a trian of thought in mind, I completed the twelve-hour journey from Springfield to Covington, arriving at my destination but a few minutes before the commencement exercises began.

However, three Southern states vote this month, and Mr. Roosevelt has appealed to them—not as President, as he appealed to the North—but as head of the Democratic party, to vote wet in accordance with the party platform.

Whenever you find a man, or an organization that has achieved success on merit, you will find there a certain amount of character and a driving force that permits the human to battle and conquer every known natural obstacle and those that are placed in the way by envious and scheming designers who would rather pull a man down than to push him up. Nothing tells the story of the real Harry H. Pace as does the fulfillment by him of a thirty-year ambition. This is written on Saturday, July 1, and on the Friday evening previous, Mr. Pace received his law degree which to him meant the fulfillment of a desire that has taken thirty years to achieve. Receives J.D. Degree On Friday evening, June 30, in the Chicago Civic Opera House, Mr. Pace, in a class of forty graduates, five of whom were colored, including besides Mr. Pace, C. N. Langston, William Henry Huff, George W. Kelly, and Melvin R. Grubbs, received their sheepskins. Mr. Pace and Mr. Langston received a J.D. degree, while the other three received an LLB. degree Mr. Pace and Mr. Langston also received an honorary cum laud notation (only seven in the entire class received this) which entitles them to honorary membership in the Order of Lincoln, an exclusive fraternity of the alumni of the Chicago Law School. This remarkable achievement and the example that Mr. Pace has set teaches our race a lesson in perseverance and accomplishment of goals under hardships and against obstacles better than any amount of propaganda protesting against things that can't be done. Somehow or other, the man who is capable of doing things, goes right ahead and does them, while others are protesting that they can't do them. Thirty years ago Mr. Pace was forced to discontinue his college days because of illness—an illness which his doctors said he would not pull through. From that moment on, the actions of Harry H. Pace, if recorded in novel form, would rival any bit of achievement that is to be found in American literature. Studied at Night Without going into details on his past career, we learn that he has battled every step of the way, in various kinds of enterprises, always giving to same the full benefit of his energy, experience and fighting resources, and always with the secret ambition of taking up his law course. At the pinnacle of his success, as president of the largest colored organization in the North, and the second to the largest in the country, instead of resting on his laurels, he so organized his routine as to permit him to spend at least four nights a week studying law—for three years. While others were entertaining, socializing and enjoying the pleasures of life, he studied, and today he porbably is the happiest man in the country for he has achieved a thirty-year ambition. I congratulate Harry H. Pace—a real man—and my benefactor. "I Go a Fishing" By Beatrice M. Murphy "I go a fishing." Less than a month after the crucifixion of Christ, we hear Peter calmly announcing his intention to go fishing; and ever remembering that Peter was a fisherman by trade and it might have been sheer necessity that drove him back to pick up the threads of life where he dropped them when called by the Master, does not soften the seeming heartlessness of Peter's remark. "I go a fishing," as if a short while before the world had not been changed and an indelible blot written on the pages of history; as if Peter had not been one of the most beloved of Christ's disciples, and had not lived intimately for over two years in one of the most dynamic personalities the world has ever known; as if Peter had not come to know and love that personality and be dominated by Him. It must have seemed to Peter that the world would have to end when he saw the Master hanging there dying and realized that he was helpless. I think something in Peter must have died too. Is it not a wonder that Peter did not become bitter when he realized that these people could not possibly grasp the significance of their act? Is it not a wonder that Peter coulld forget so quickly? "I go a fishing." But I wonder whether Peter did forget. I wonder whether Peter didn't realize, deep down within himself, that it was the one thing his Master would have wanted him to do. I wonder whether it wasn't because Peter realized that the purpose for which his Master died would be lost if his followers laid down on the job. Somehow or other I can't think of Peter as forgetting. I see him trying to put his personal feelings aside and do the wisest and only sensible thing—pick up his life and work and carry on. I think the pain was just as sharp in the breast of Peter as in the breast of the other disciples and he took this method of allaying it. I think Peter had reached that bewildering point in his life where he didn't know whether he wanted to go or not; that in spite of his faith and the confidence he learned from his contact with the Master, Peter was thoroughly disgruntled and disappointed and was asking himself "what's the use?" It must have taken a lot of courage for Peter to go back and take up a life that reminded him so much of the Master, but he didn't complain. He didn't waste his time mourning. Perhaps Peter went back to his work as a safety valve for overtired nerves. Maybe he went back because he didn't know what else to do. Whatever his reason it's rather comforting to contemplate Peter calmly announcing his intention, at the time when we might expect him to be overwhelmed with his loss, of going fishing. For, if or when we reach that point in life where we don't know whether we want to go on or not; when we suffer some great loss, pain or disappointment, we can remember to consider Peter.

Editor, the Tribune: Certain cab drivers have been and still are making themselves nuisances throughout the city. Now and then I happen to meet with one who seems to realize the fact that he can look clean, decent and manly and be polite as well as have a presentable cab. But there is also the cowardly kind to make fresh, and at times, insulting remarks about or to unescorted girls and women who pass their cab stands. Then, too, the profanity which is heard around these stands is most disgusting. Next is politeness if you please! I have been in cabs where drivers sat hunched behind the steering wheel and sullenly ask me to close the door, and argue, when I ask whether it is my place to do so. Next in order is their personal appearance. I have ridden with drivers who looked as though they had slept out on the dump pile all night and on arising could not find soap and water to have even so much as a clean face; to say nothing of their dirty clothing which seems to not have been changed since twenty-cents taxi fares came about. I am not at all surprised if vermin should be found in some of them, judging from the most unsanitary condition existing on the inside; especially since some of them use their cabs for beds.

PART III. The Commission (appointed by the League of Nations) presented a plan for the complete reorganization of the Liberian government. That was two years or more ago, and since then the wise men of Geneva have been struggling with Liberia's problems. Finally a scheme has been evolved by which a Chief Advisor is to be named by the Council of the League of Nations with the acceptance of the President of Liberia. He is to be responsible to and removable by the League Council. He is to collaborate with the President in the preparation of plans for the proposed reforms, give the benefit of his advice, coordinate the work of the foreign experts and supervise the execution of the scheme of assistance. It is not clear whether he would have sufficient authority to make effective the necessary reforms if opposed by Liberian officials. United States Clamped Down the Lid A long wrangle preceded the settlement of this question of authority. The Liberian government naturally did not want to abdicate in favor of foreign control, but the United States firmly and persistently declared that advisorships without absolute authority had proven to be worse than none at all. Also, the United States clamped down the lid. It asserted in a formal document transmitted to the League that it would not countenance any further loan to Liberia by the Finance Corporation until a satisfactory administration, guaranteeing a safe and stable government, had been agreed upon by the Republic. "No reforms, no money," said the United States in direct and emphatic language. The League plan of assistance, after undergoing numerous revisions, was finally approved as a basis for negotiation in Geneva last September. However, through a series of circumstances to be detailed later, the agreement is not yet in force. This is probably not to be deplored as it would be impossible for European interests to regard Liberia with the same altruistic point of view which has always characterized the attitude of the United States. Thus everything is now up in the air, with conditions more uncertain and unsatisfactory than they were when Pandora's Box was first opened at Geneva when the United States laid its time-honored responsibilities on the shoulders of the League of Nations. Can Liberia Paddle Her Own Canoe? It is said in some of the Negro papers in the United States that the Liberian government has a right to be suspicious of Greeks bearing gifts; that there are sinister motives underlying all that has been done with the ostensible purpose of affording aid to the struggling Republic; and that the destruction of the government is the ulterior and ultimate object of those who are apparently holding out a helping hand. There would seem to be ample ground for these suspicions if Liberia is to pass under European control. A purely American plan of assistance would, however, remove these doubts. The United States should certainly not leave Liberia to paddle its own canoe for whether it can navigate a tortuous and dangerous channel by itself is a serious question. It would be a sad day for the Negro race if Liberia should lose its identity and be eliminated from the map of the world. The thirteen million Negroes in the United States who have had their eyes focused upon Liberia in the hope that their race could demonstrate capacity for self-government, would be seriously discouraged if the experiment should prove a failure after nearly a century of endeavor. Every friend of Liberia hopes that its territorial integrity and national sovereignty can be preserved. But can it be? The answer is in the affirmative, if Liberia will once again, as it has done so often in the past, turn to the United States for that assistance which is her only salvation.

IN THE REALM OF BOOKS IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER Alpheus Butler, author of "Make Way for Happiness," and compiler and editor of "The Parnassian," an anthology of prose and poetry, has a rather pertinent message for those who write, or would write. He gives food for thought relative to education and one's fitness to be a writer.—C.L.F. COLLEGE AND THE WRITER By Albheus Butler I read a very interesting article in The Washington Tribune not very long ago in regard to education. The writer said that if by an education was meant simply the getting of a little piece of paper after years of struggle, it is hardly worth the time, energy and money put into it. I have sought to relate a college education to the practical end of becoming a writer and I find that little correlation is possible—particularly in the so-called "advanced" spheres. In fact, the most "advanced" courses seemed to be most puerile and childlike and the least stimulative in the sphere of creative activity. For example, the Ph.D.'s want you to write in phonetic symbols stories about rats in hay lofts; c: they want you to digest linguistic theories of various kinds that have little practical value. For the writer it seems to me that the best, the most thrilling, the most colorful experiences are to be had always outside of the dull sphere of classroom activities. The writer must either look into his own heart and write, or he must look at life in its many various manifestations and write. Life is so big, so marvelous, so beautiful. And schools are often so narrow, so bigoted, so discouraging. The writer of this article has given many of the best years of his life to college courses and holds a degree from one of the best universities in the West. His undergraduate years were his best because he was fortunate enough to encounter liberal minds in most instances. There were fewer mistakes then in his selection of courses, and he ran into fewer narrow-minded higher degrees. The writer is now busily engaged in fashioning and refashioning his first novel. And very little of what he learned in the so-called "higher" college courses is going to help him in putting this novel together. Rather, his observations of and his experiences in the broad arena of life will be of greatest value. There have been so many matters in the world of human activity that have given him the inclination to pause, to ponder. There are so many realities in nature that excite both awe and admiration. And so many engaging people with whom the writer has talked, worked, or lived. These are the raw materials from which the novel will be fashioned. To those aspiring to be literary men, writers, journalists, it seems to me that the worst way to approach this splendid and definitely worthwhile sphere of intellectual activity is by the avenue of higher degrees. An ordinary education, the ability to think clearly and express thoughts in simple, effective language is all that is necessary. But, above all, the writer should have common sense, the ability to observe keenly and carefully, a broad love of humanity and an understanding of human nature. The pedagogy is as useless to the real writer as the obsolete and lifeless matter he rehashes. The Negro Speaks of Trees for the Associated Negro Press. I hope that I shall never be As sad and helpless as a tree, A tree who used to smile at God; Enhance the beauty of the sod; Save little birds from thunder storms; Rock them to sleep in leafy arms. I hope that I shall never be As sad and helpless as a tree. A tree whose arms swing Southern game; Until it's roasted in a flame. Trees live and sing as if they're glad; Yet only whites have made them sad. "I knew of nothing which so threatens the happiness of world Jewry as the tendency on the part of some Jews to emphasize and transmute the cultural and religious tradition into a solidarity which sets us apart—which makes us a separate and unique people in respects in which we have no right to be separate and unique."—Joseph M. Proskauer. Correspondence is not what it was in the last century. Anyone who can write letters like those collected and published in books can sell that sort of stuff to the magazines; and won't waste it in private correspondence.

SOCIAL HIGHLIGHTS Rose-Watson Nuptials Celebrated June 29 Miss Gladys Juanita Rose, a popular young school teacher and daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rose, became the bride of Mr. Henry Marvin Watson, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Marvin Watson, of St. Louis, Missouri, on Thursday, June 29. The ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. A. Taylor, of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, the bride's pastor. The bride was given in marriage by her father and was becomingly gowned in white crepe designed on princess lines with a graceful shoulder cape, decorated with roses of the same material. Long sleeves puffed to the elbow, close fitting to the wrist were formed in points over the hand. Her turban was also of white crepe from which was stylishly draped her veil which hung just below her shoulders. The bride carried a huge shower bouquet of white roses and lilies of the valley. The couple stood under a wedding bell of white carnations to make their vows, while a good luck slipper of various flowers completed a beautiful and artistic setting for the ceremony. Ferns, palms, gladiolas and roses were in profusion throughout the home. Miss Olive Rose attended her sister as maid of honor and was picturesque in yellow mousselle de soie and net and carried an arm bouquet of two tone yellow roses. The other attendants were Miss Elva McLane, cousin of the bride; Miss Gertrude Black, Miss Ernestine Shaed, and Miss Iris Smoot. These were gowned in pastel shades of organdy and each carried an arm bouquet of roses. The bridegroom had as his best man Mr. John Young, and the ushers were Chaucy Brown, Reginald Matthews, Frank Coleman and Milton Rose, brother of the bride. The bride's mother was charmingly gowned in flowered chiffon and wore a corsage of sweet peas and baby breath. She assisted her daughter in receiving her guests during the reception, also the bride's cousin, Mrs. Mildred Giles, who was beautifully gowned in white moussculine de soie and net. Before the ceremony, Mr. Jeremiah Davis sang "O Promise Me," and Mrs. Ethel Stokes Moran rendered "Because." The wedding march was played by Mr. Levington Smith. After the ceremony Mrs. Moran and Mr. Smith sang "At Dawning," and Dr. Wm. E. Taylor sang "Until." A reception followed the ceremony. The table was decorated with tall silver vases filled with gladiators and roses, while a large wedding cake with a miniature bride and bridegroom was placed in the center. Silver candelabra added to the attractiveness of the bridal table. After the reception the bride and groom left for New York City, the bride wearing an ensemble of blue crepe with white accessories. After their return from their wedding trip Mr. and Mrs. Watson will be at home at 1009 Fairmont Street, Northwest.

Wyatt, in Fulton County Court, refused to set bail for Angelo Herndon, young Negro organizer of the unemployed, and reserved decision on the International Labor Defense demand for a new trial for him, in a hearing last week. Judge Wyatt, who presided at Herndon's original trial, refused bail on the ground that the evidence against Herndon, who is under sentence of from 18 to 20 years on the chain gang on a charge of "ineiting to insurrection" "warranted death." Herndon was arrested because he organized Negro and white workers together in a demonstration which forced county authorities to increase relief, and the evidence against him was that he was in possession of working class literature. In a three-hour argument before Judge Wyatt, Saturday, John H. Greer and Benjamin J. Davis, Jr., I.L.D. attorneys, showed that Herndon was illegally convicted by a Fulton county jury illegally selected from whites only; that this baring of Negroes from the jury contrary to constitutional guarantees was systematic in Georgia. The frame-up character of the case was exposed by the attorneys, who showed that the real reason for his arrest and trial as well as his conviction was the growing unity of Negro and white workers, a movement in which he was a leader. TRIBUNE SPONSORS MOVEMENT (Continued from page 1) equal representation for Negroes on all committees formed by their respective associations would be given. They further agreed to lend the full strength of their organizations to aid a fight on any dismissals which have been actuated by race prejudice. Joint committees on which Negro representatives, elected by the Negro employees who have actually lost their jobs, include the following: one for persons dismissed because their husbands or wives are also employed in the government service; one for persons dismissed because of low efficiency ratings; one for veterans; and one for persons prematurely retired before the actual retirement status had been reached. Mass Meeting Friday, July 14 Negro representatives on these committees will be elected at a mass meeting to be held in the Tribune building (Casino), 920 U. St. Northwest, Friday, July 14, at 8:30 p.m. The meeting will begin promptly at that time and last for one hour. John P.

He described the treatment of the prisoners as brutal. "We slaved 17 hours a day under slave-driving overseers," said Loeffler, "the last man bringing up a row was lashed. The stronger set so fast a pace, afraid to be last, that the weaker ones were always beaten. "The treatment of the Negro prisoners was especially cruel. The Arkansas law allows ten licks of the whip, but Negroes were beaten until they could not stand," he stated. Loeffler was arrested when it was discovered that he was a reader of communist literature. In court, he was asked: "Why do you read such literature?" Loeffler asserted his right to read any literature, and pointed out that such papers and pamphlets as he had were sent through the U. S. mails. The sentence was $10 fine and $16 costs. Unable to pay, Loeffler was sent to the county prison farm, without opportunity to get in touch with the International Labor Defense or with personal friends. closed and steps have been taken to remedy the injustices. One such case, typical of many that have been reported to The Tribune and the Negro Industrial League, was that of a clerk in one of the departments, who was summarily dismissed after 25 years of service. The employee is the sole working member of his family, which includes his wife and invalid mother. In 1932 his efficiency rating was 92.1 and he was numbered seventh out of 63 employees in his grade. On May 15 of this year his rating was lowered to 73.7 and he was dropped to number 63 out of 63 employees in his class. Another instance was that of an employee who stood number 11 in his group with an efficiency rating of 87.3 in 1932, and who, in 1933, was dropped to number 23, the last place in his group and given a rating of 70.4. Consistent refusal to re-employ in the National Recovery Administration or other newly created government bureaues colored employees who have been dismissed or furioushed was reported. In the National Recovery Administration, it was reported that only one job out of several hundred available had been given to a Negro, and this job was one of custodial rank. Similar reports have come in from other bureaues now engaged in employing a new personnel. More Dismissals Pending More dismissals of workers, a large number of whom will be colored, is scheduled for August 10. Over 10,000 workers face dismissal at this time from bureaus and departments which have been absorbed by newly established federal agencies. Among these is the office of Public Buildings and Public Parks, where it is estimated that more than 500 colored employees will lose their jobs. dollars annually; that these their obligations; that many struggling to buy.

"Sheriff Cooksey came to me early in the evening and said, 'Dorsey, don't come out of the doors of the jail tonight because there's likely to be trouble. If an officer should bring in a prisoner, let him take care of the prisoner for the night.'" "I said," continued Dorsey "You are in charge, sheriff.'" "About 11 o'clock, the sheriff and two state cops came and called me. I asked twice whether it was the sheriff, and told him I always obey orders and would not come out of the jail to unlock the outer fence gate unless I was certain it was the sheriff." Prisoner Whisked Away "The sheriff and one of the state cops hollered, 'It's the sheriff,' I recognized his voice. I went out and unlocked the gate. "The sheriff and the two cops went up on the second floor and brought Jupiter down. They pulled out the lights and took the prisoner out of the jail. I did not go out of the jail to lock the fence gate. Gang Appears Late "About 10 minutes after the sheriff took the man out about 45 or 50 men rushed through the fence gate. They ran up to the jail door hollering, 'Open up! Open up!' "They kept yelling, and I told them to give me a chance to open up, as I had orders to let them go through the jail and see that the man they wanted was not there. I had six prisoners and warned them not to interfere with them." Jailer is Defiant Dorsey continued, "When I opened the jail door, I had my keys in one hand and my gun in the other. One of the crowd asked me what I was going to do with the gun. "You don't suppose I'd face this mob without some protection, do you?" Dorsey said he queried. "One man grabbed my arms while another wrenched my gun away from me, and threw it outside. I demanded that they give me my gun, but they refused, saying they wouldn't harm me and would return my gun later. Rope a Story Long "Several of the men rushed to the second floor, where Jupiter had been kept. One had a rope so long that while he was on the second floor with one end in his hand the other end was still on the ground floor. "The mob went up to the door of my wife's quarters and asked who was in there. I told them my wife was, and that they could go in and search, but they didn't." Pleaded with Mob "While the mob was searching the jail I kept asking for my gun, and that they let the law take its course. They told me they weren't going to hurt me. "I replied," Dorsey proceeded, "that I didn't want to hurt them, but was here obeying orders. They asked me where is the prisoner. I said, 'Indeed I don't know,' and I really didn't." Court House Searched "Failing to find Jupiter in the jail, the gang gave Dorsey his revolver, then searched the Court House, about 100 feet away. One of the men in the mob is reported to have said, "Let's dynamite the building," while others called upon the men to follow the sheriff. The group, however, satisfied that the man was gone, dispersed in the direction of Waldoorf, a short distance away. Plans to lynch the man were formulated, it was said, after the alleged killer broke down early Sunday following an all-night grilling by county officials and confessed slaying the woman, asserting she requested him to do so. When he was spirited away from the jail just before the mob arose, Jupiter was taken to the Upper Marlboro jail. Other Mobs Outwitted Thwarting further attempts at mob violence, Maryland state police and the sheriffs of Prince Georges and Charles counties rushed Jupiter back to La Plata for his preliminary hearing shortly afternoon, Tuesday. The hearing was before Judge R. H. Lee Reich, and Jupiter was held for murder. Fear that another mob might attempt to storm the Marlboro jail, Jupiter was transferred to Baltimore for safe-keeping after the speedy hearing. State's Attorney Edward F. Edelen represented the prosecution. The accused had no lawyer. Jupiter Gets Nervous Jupiter had shown no remorse prior to the mob's attempt, Attorney Edelin declared, but exhibited nervousness at the hearing. It was reported that two treatments had to be given him at the Mariboro jail so that he could sleep. No Special Jury According to Attorney Edelin, no special session of the grand jury will be called to rush the accused man's trial. Presentation of the case to that body will await the regular grand jury session next November. Jupiter was employed on the farm of Mrs. Evelyn Reifschneider, who he is accused of killing, having returned to this section from Cincinnati about 18 months ago. At the time of the tragedy he was working off a $20 debt for produce advanced him and would have completed his two month's task on July 17. He lived on the farm. His native home is Shiloh, Md., according to Attorney Edelen, and he was also known as Page Southern. Nothing definite could be learned about his people. La Plata, the county seat of Charles county, is a small farming town located 30 miles from Washington, the nation's capital. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. JULY 13. 1933 CHICAGO CAPTURES FIRST HALF IN NAT'L LEAGUE Garrison Finish Enables Windy City Entry to Nose Out Crawfords All positions in the league standing changed during the past week. Chicago made a spectacular finish, by defeating Columbus four straights, Baltimore one, which put them in position to divide with the Crawfords and still win first honors. They did just that. Willie Foster was bested by Hunter, in McKeesport on July 7, but Cornelius came through with a win over Satchell Paige on July 8. The two games set back from July 1 and 2 in Chicago aroused considerable interest as well as misunderstanding. The two teams were never tied but once during the first half. This happened in McKeesport, when the marks were 20 won and seven lost for each club. Previous to that Chicago had been in first place twice, but was always ousted before press time. On June 14, the Westerners won from Crawfords in McKeesport, eased into first, place, but were pushed back by Baltimore. Coming to Pittsburgh on July 7, they headed the parade but: Hunter's win made matters even on all sides. as of July 3 W. L. Pct.

(ANP)—Jesse Maukee, the brilliant sprinter from East Technical High School, Cleveland, Ohio, who equalled the world record of 9.4 seconds for 100 yards in the national interscholastic meet at Chicago, will have his speed thoroughly tested July 23, when he will match strides over a 100-yard course with a thoroughbred racehorse. He is to appear on a program sponsored by the Wisconsin Association for the Disabled. Officials feel that the short distance will give Owens an advantage, although past 100 yards the horse would leave the human flyer far behind. The best human time for 440 yards is 46.8 seconds, whereas horses have covered the distance in 24 seconds flat. Mid-Western Tennis Tourney, August 26 CHICAGO (ANP)—Plans have been completed for the holding of the Mid Western Tennis Tournament for the present season in Chicago, August 26 to September 3, inclusive. The tournament will be held on the Mother Seames Tennis Court at 32nd and Vernon Avenue. It is on these same courts that various national and sectional tournaments have been held in the past and historic tennis battles have been staged between champions of the East and West. Its officials say this will be the outstanding clay court tournament to be held in Chicago during the Century of Progress Exposition. They expect that the leading tennis players throughout the country will take advantage of the opportunity to see the exposition and attend the several national fraternal conclaves that will be in session in Chicago during the tournament. Unusually large and beautiful trophies have been secured for presentation. Thomas Hurls/Tigers to 5-0 Win over Columbia Thomas, of the Washington Tigers, almost hurled a perfect game against the Columbia A.C., last week, when he held the opposition to one lone hit to win by a score of 5 to 0. A feature of the game was a home run by Hawkins in the fifth with two on the bags. D. C.

I will call the grand jury to meet Monday, and if an indictment is returned, I will have Jupiter arraigned soon thereafter so that his counsel, whoever he may be, can have ample time to prepare the case for trial during the November term of court. I can assure you that he will have a fair trial." Speaking of the grand jury, Judge Diggs said: "We have a colored man on the grand jury, and usually have two or three on our petit juries. We have had colored men on our juries for many years. I have been here ten years and found Negroes serving on the juries when I came and have had one or more during my tenure." The sheriff, the state's attorney and the judge denounced the reporters for the daily papers of Washington for their part in fomenting the riot. They were of one accord in saying that the reporters Sunday and Monday agitated the citizens of the county with the view of making news for their papers. Sheriff Cooksey said that if it had not been for the reporters there would not have been a mob. No Feeling Between the Races State's Attorney Edelen said that the feeling between the white and colored people of the county was very good. "Just go out and see for yourself," said the official. The two Washington attorneys spent some time in locating the relatives of Jupiter. They found a half-brother, Arthur Jupiter, plowing tobacco near Wayside, Md. Two half-sisters were located at Rock Point, Md. From them they obtained the information that Jupiter was not able to employ counsel, nor were they able to assist him. The sisters gave an order for Houston and Lovett to confer with Jupiter as their representatives. It was learned that Jupiter was born in this city and was originally named Southern. After his mother married Charles Jupiter, Page assumed the Jupiter name. The jailer, John F. Dorsey, is a Negro. He said that he admitted the mob Monday night upon the request of deputy sheriff Howard. He believes that the law should be upheld and that mobs hve no business attacking jails. Houston and Lovett are trying to get permission to see Jupiter. "We want to see him and find out from him," said Houston, "whether his reported confession was voluntary or forced. We are simply interested to see whether justice has been accorded him." Houston and Lovett have assisted in the Crawford case in Boston, and will leave Saturday for a conference with the attorneys in Boston Monday to decide upon a course in the appeal of the case to the United States Supreme Court. Bernard Ades, International Labor Defense attorney in Baltimore, has also interested himself in the case. Struck on the head with a blunt instrument by an unknown person. James Jordan, 37, of 712 Girard Street, Northwest, was carried to Frieden's Hospital in the Tenth Precinct patrol, Monday. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL The Definition of Love There's the love a hunter has for dog, There's the love of a dog for its master. There's the puppy love of two young folk. That makes their hearts beat faster. There's a willing and unselfish love That a son can get from his mother. But the greatest love I've ever seen Is one dead drunk for another! Summer Madness There is no other season of the year that produces more "madness" than does the good old summer time. The average human being is a real curio when the hot spell begins to make an impressive dent on his carcass and disposition. It is then that he subjects the human system to all manner of indignities and cruelties. He may go to the beach and burn his epidermis to a blistering red—and rejoice in his acquisition of a so-called fan. He travels about in the public highways bedecked in the scantiest of array, in an earnest effort to keep cool—whereas scientists actually have proved that the more the average human being takes off, the more opportunities are presented to the sun rays to do their dirt. In addition to performing these feats of madness, we humans delight in punishing the stomachs in our bodies, that must constantly act as receptacles, for ice-cold concoctions of an endless variety. For, while these imbibers may perhaps receive temporary relief, such relief measures usually act merely as a stimulator for additional heat and discomfort. As long as hot weather shall continue to raise havoc with the ingenuity of the human mind, so will man continue to resort to seemingly indiscreet methods in helpless efforts to combat an invincible Nature. So mad are we that we believe there is a ghost of a chance that we will win out eventually—for while there is a will, there is a way! YOUTHFUL PERSONALITIES Miss Ada Davis One of younger Washington's most colorful feminine personalities has a mania for forming and holding acquaintances. Native of Rocky Mount, N.C., sometimes referred to as "the teacup," the most beautiful matriarch come from." This Miss bears an uncanny resemblance to the attractive Japanese. Is often mistaken for one. Built on the order of the current cinema sensation, Mae West. Is not afflicted with the same mannerisms, however. Very fond of dancing, bridge, basketball and tennis. Educated at the Booker T. Washington High School in North Carolina. Starred in basketball and won many medals in sport at said institution. Somewhat of an actress. Performed in dramas and, playlets at school. In order to enchant her, one would do wise to senrade her with string music (oh, how she loves string music) 'neath her moonlit window. Plans to pursue a special study of foreign languages next fall at her favorite night school. Her ultimate aim is to establish 'herself in some profitable business—a sign of the new Negro in her,' I tell you. Should she fail in this attempt, beauty culture work is her next choice. Was one of the Treasury basketball team's most ardent rooters and sympathizers during the past campaign. Was a sensation at the championship play-off last winter. Acted as an usherette at the game. Had all eyes fixed upon her. The girl's there. THEY TELL ME THAT THEY TELL ME THAT: Blanche Braswell, possibly one of Washington's deeper feminine thinkers, is convalescing very rapidly from a recent illness, which necessitated the performance of a minor operation. The personable little lady plans to spend a month at her home in North Carolina, where she will visit her family that that she has not seen in two years; Here's good luck to you. Blanche. Laurence J. W. Hayes is on his way back to New Orleans to combine business with pleasure. Lots of success to you, old pal. John Wesley Taylor, erstwhile basketball star, has become addicted to the popular sport and pastime, tennis. Bill Ratcliffe, man-about-town, is a frequenter of the Francis Pool. What's there beside the water, Bill? We should keep our eyes on William Steen's articles on the Negro in current periodicals. He writes authentic material. The lad's a comer. Many of the holiday crowds that went up to the big city were disappointed at the "dampness" of the weather in New York, on and after the Fourth. Shall we say that the weather man put a "damper" on their fun? The unemployed Harlem Negroes received a decided break when the producers started work on "Emperor Jones." In addition to the selection of an all-Negro cast (with one notable exception), an army of extras were hired for the more important "mob sages" that are to be filmed. Pay amounted to approximately five dollars a day, and a chance to "emote" before Mr. Camera. The menu list at the Penny-M Fadden restaurant is not bad at all; no, not bad at all—so I have been told. The numbers racket continues to provide a "brain-storm," to many of the "masses":...tales of "ain't it a shame—I had two of 'em and just did miss the third one," continue to be bewailed by all of the brothers and sisters of Ham. Incidentally, the depression has added any number of the white-race as addicts to the "fidgeters." So the army of small time "gamblers" goes, on its optimistic way, still hoping and praying for the "break" that is so long in coming. All numbers players are believers in the old maxim, everything comes to him who waits. Publisher Robert Vann; renowned for his Pittsburgh Courier, obtained a mighty "juicy" position as special assistant to the Attorney General. He ought to "make good" in as much as he shall work side by side with a Massachusetts man. White men from that part of the country are more or less liberal in their actions towards the colored man. Belated congratulations, Mr. Vann. The present great administrator, F. D. R., is setting an admirable precedent in his selections of "former" Republican affiliates for positions of honor and trust in his administration. He is placing worth and value above "party and tradition." Other plums will inevitably fall into the hands of other worthy Negroes are long. Anyhow we shall see what we shall see. White publications are eager to headline news, detrimental to the race. Witness the Page Jupiter-La Plata case and the Dr. Robert Nelson marital controversy. They place decided emphasis on these degrading "affairs"."give it front page prominence...but de-emphasize such valorous and glorifying achievements as the sensational and trailing track victories that have been recently scored by those "three fastest humans". Metcalfe, Johnson and Owens. As a matter of fact I have yet to see any "photos" of these lads of mercury on the white newspaper pages. Have you noticed the self-same thing? I vividly recall seeing pictures of the Scottsboro boys, Crawford, Euel Lee, Page, et al, conspiciously place din these dailies. The least that they could do is, to act consistently in these matters. But more about this some other time. I must close my little book—until next week.

Horton, who presided over the second trial of Haywood Patterson, member of the Scottsboro Negro group, announced Friday he will not hear the remaining trials. Judge Horton said his expressed opinion of the lack of evidence sufficient to convict Patterson is ample grounds for him to be excused from trying the remaining boys. The Birmingham Daily News says that it has learned that there is a probability of the cases being removed from Morgan County, where on April 9, Patterson, first of nine Negro defendants in the case to be retried, was convicted and sentenced to death a second time. HOWARD UNIV. EXHIBITS AT CENTURY OF PROGRESS EXPOSITION Howard University is represented at the Century of Progress Exposition, World's Fair, at Chicago, with a bal-optician exhibit, showing 70 slides of various activities of the university, together with pictures of the founder and first president of the university, the present president, the first medical faculty, and a group of slides illustrating the work of each college and division of the university. The slides run continuously with eleven-second showings. The main element of the exhibit is an automatic picture projection machine that shows in continuous succession 70 views of significant activities of Howard University. This machine is housed in a booth of modern design, and is decorated in silver, blue and vermilion, this being the color note of the Interior Department exhibit. The work of each degree-granting division of the university is shown, and also a summarized statement of the history of the school, views of grounds and buildings, together with an indication of the twenty-year plan, the new program of educational and physical development, which was formally adopted by the trustees in 1931. The three new women's dormitories form the first unit of this plan. Two special bound volumes, a "cut-out" of one of the university's entrance gates, and a framed enlarged photograph of General O. O. Howard, the founder, complete the exhibit. The Howard exhibit is a part of that of the United States Government and is in close proximity to the exhibits of the other agencies of the Department of the Interior. STABBED WITH ICE TONGS Attacked by an unnamed assailant with a pair of ice tongs, Robert Cheeks, 31, of 8 Naylor's Court, Northwest, received two cuts in the forehead which necessitated four titches to close. An institute of race relations held at Swarthmore College, is being held at Swarthmore College, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania, during the month of July, under the auspices of the Committee on Race Relations of the Society of Friends (Quakers). The institute is open to educators—secular and religious—social workers, labor leaders, employers and journalists. The prime object is the scientific and realistic understanding of social factors involving in race relations and particularly Négrowhite relations in America.

WORK OF MISSIONARIES IN LIBERIA PRAISED Ex-Minister Mitchell's Wife Describes Conditions in Black Republic CHARLESTON, W.Va. — The Book Lovers, a club composed of a group of literary women of Charleston and vicinity, celebrated its tenth anniversary recently at the home of Mrs. John W. Davis, of West Virginia State College, with Mrs. C. E. Mitchell, wife of Hon. Charles E. Mitchell, former minister to Liberia, was guest speaker. Mrs. John C. Norman, a teacher of English in Garnet High School, gave a brief history of the club, which was organized in May, 1923, by Mrs. T. G. Nutter, with a group of women who desired to become better acquainted with modern English and American novels. In their course of study they began with the best stories that were available, which were followed by the modern drama, biographies of famous women and studies of India and Russia. Mrs. Norman concluded her review as follows: "This little family group has met sometimes twice a month to discuss books, the legacies that great genius leaves to mankind. To us it has not meant merely an assembly of women it has meant pleasantly spent afternoons, the development of close friendships, study and growth." Tells of African Trip Mrs. Mitchell was heartily received and her interesting review, "My Experiences in Africa" held her audience spellbound for more than an hour, her address being punctuated through with applause. In beautiful and picturesque language she reviewed her experiences in Africa, beginning with her landing at the bar which one has to cross before entering Monrovia, and which she said reminded her of Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar." Mrs. Mitchell gave her audience an insight into the very heart of Liberia by reviewing at length the social customs of that country. She surprised her listeners by stating that the interior or jungles of Africa is not what one would ordinarily think, as there are high evidences of modern civilization to be found in many parts thereof. In describing her experiences Mrs. Mitchell dwelt at length on the excellent work that is being done by missionaries. She feels that they can not be given too much praise for the great sacricles they are making in behalf of the natives of Liberia. She said in part: Education Hampered "The government supports secondary education in a haphazard way. Teachers are not usually above the fourth and fifth grades and the school term is short. The reason for this is that there is so little money. "There is a college in Monrovia supported by the government. It does not have a very large enrollment. There is another college the College of West Africa, supported by the Methodist Episcopal Church. Dr. Embry is president and is doing fine work. They have two excellent teachers, Mrs. Embry and Mrs. Mitchell, who is a teacher in the Department of Education. We speak of it now as on a high school level, but it is growing up as the years go on. "The other school that interested me was the Pioneer School, a missionary who was sent out by a foundation in New York became quite interested in the work of Miss Brownell and promised us assistance from his foundation. However, things were not well at the foundation, and that was the end of his assistance. Nevertheless, we worked—gave afternoon teas and made cakes, selling two or three hundred cakes. Money was hard to get. Teachers often taught three or four months without pay. Miss Brownell gave her services and asked no pay. It is a long story and a sad story. Missionary Schools "There are other secondary schools in Liberia supported by missionaries. I have a very kindly feeling for the missions, and it made me very sad when I learned in the article written by Schuyler that the missionaries were following another 'racket'—that they were really callous and preyed upon the children of Africa. Schuyler was in Liberia two months. I was in Liberia two years, and I visited the missions regularly. There is a mission at Souen conducted by a young colored woman. The children are beautifully trained. They are, indeed, no more beautifully trained in the United States. "Schuyler said that Mr. Firestone had done more for the training of the natives, industrially, in five years than the missions have been able to do in 75 years. That is wrong. At the missions they are taught to take care of their bodies, to appreciate music and good literature. They are doing the best they can for the girls and boys. They get up at five in the morning and work all the time. Sometimes they are so busy preparing for the next hour that when dinner hour comes, they do not step to take even a little sleep, which is so necessary in Africa." Music was furnished by Mys. W. L. Clark, Messrs. Morrison Ryder, and Joseph Grider, Mr. Theodore Phillips was accompanist. Dr. and Mrs. H. H. Ferrell, J. E. Evans, Mr. and Mrs. A. Washington, Miss Mae Arrington.

World's Fair Concessionaires Sued for Discrimination; One Concern Opens Doors CHICAGO.—The Adobe House, a restaurant on the World Fair grounds, which has been sued by the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P. for refusing to serve colored people, now welcomes them with open arms and gives them sudden and extra-courteous service. There is a catch in it, however. The management is trying to gather evidence from colored people themselves that the restaurant is fair to all. Last week a Chicago colored newspaperman and his wife received such extra service that they were overwhelmed. Then the manager came to their table and asked if they had been treated properly, if the service had been prompt, if the meal had been satisfactory, if the waitress had been courteous. They answered "yes" to all questions. Then the manager asked for their names and addresses. The purpose of the management is to try to prove to the court that the place does not discriminate against colored people. However, this effort is being made after the suit was filed, and after a colored party had been refused service. Colored visitors to the fair are urged to avail themselves of the service at the Adobe House. Beer House Case Suit against the Babst Brewery's Blue Ribbon Casino at the Century of Progress Exposition was filed last week by the legal redress committee of the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P. in behalf of Mrs Frances McGee, 5627 Indiana Avenue, who was refused admittance to the casino on the opening day of the exposition by the doorman who told her that "We do not cater to colored people and do not want you in here." Mrs. McGee, accompanied by her aged mother, Mrs. Delilah Cummings, and her 15-year-old son, had entered the exposition grounds at an early hour on the opening day. When the aged woman became tired, Mrs. McGee started to take her into the casino for rest and refreshment. As the trio started in the entrance, the doorman blocked their way. Mrs. McGee presented three tickets of admission to the casino which had been given to her by a white person but the doorman refused to honor them, and told Mrs. McGee that colored people were not admitted. Mrs. McGee was referred to the legal redress committee of the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P., who advised her to swear out a warrant for the arrest of the doorman, and to file suit against the management of the Casino for violation of the Illinois Civil Rights bill. Attorneys William H. Temple and Graham T. Perry will represent Mrs. McGee and her mother and son in the suit for damages. Virgin Islands Hopes for Sugar Revival Believed Dashed ST. THOMAS V.I.—(ANP)—Hopes which were set in motion by the arrival of representatives of larger sugar interests, have been turned to doubt through the effect of a new regulation recently announced at Washington which would lessen the amount of Sugar the Virgin Island can export to the United States. H. F. Ruggles, of New York, who arrived in the Virgin Islands two weeks ago for the purpose of surveying the Bethlehem Sugar Factories in St. Croix, largest producers of sugar in that island, whose operations were suspended three years ago when it went into receivership, for the purpose of promoting and organizing a company to purchase and operate the factories, left hurriedly for New York on the Furness Liner "Silvia" this week. It is reported that he has abandoned his plans because of a recent ruling at Washington which sets the quota of sugar from the Virgin Islands to the United States at 4,500 tons or 36,000 bags. Great unrest has been caused in St. Creix by this report and preparations are being made to make representations to Washington in the premises, as it is feared that the new ruling, if put into effect, will cause further hardships in that island which depends exclusively on the sugar industry for its existence.

Crisp Chocolate Cookies Lemon Pie, Cider Frappe for the Beginner Napoleon Torte, Tarts It's safe to say that in these days of penny-saving, many a woman is turning her hand to home baking who never before wrestled with a baking recipe. The discouragement apt to greet the cooking novice is due partly to her attempting difficult recipes beyond the skill of one without experience with combining ingredients and managing an oven. For such a person, a simple yet delicious cookie such as the one given here is recommended for a beginning. There is no reason why perfect results should not reward one's first efforts. The experienced cook may well add this recipe to her collection of economical, quickly made cookies. $ 3 \frac{1}{2} $ cups self-rising flour 1 cup butter $ 1 \frac{1}{2} $ Cups granulated sugar 2 eggs $ \frac{1}{2} $ cup milk 1 square of cooking chocolate Cream the butter thoroughly, adding the sugar in three or four portions and creaming after each addition. Add eggs, well-beaten, then the melted chocolate and milk. Sift the melt before measuring and add to the liquids. Mix only enough to dampen the flour and obtain a smooth-dough. Chill thoroughly. Roll out to one-eighth inch and cut with a scalloped cutter. Combine trimmings, re-chill and cut. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Lift the cookies with a spatula to a buttered baking sheet. Bake at 375° F. until a delicate even brown. Nothing here, you notice, to call for great dexterity. By using self- rising flour, as called for, the novice is spared any possibility of omitting the essential ingredient of leavening, as well as the trouble of measuring and sifting it with the flour. Good cooks add a pinch of salt to almost everything they make, but with self-rising flour this too has already been added at the mill and in just the right proportion to give the desired flavor. If you wish to avoid rolling and cutting out the dough may simply be formed into a roll before chilling and then sliced. Sunday Dinner Suggestions No matter what the calendar or the thermometer says, July and August and especially, the week-end of the Fourth through Labor Day, are summer. And summer is vacation time, out-of-door time, picnic time for the whole family. This summer many of us are planning to visit the Century of Progress in Chicago. Older folk who can remember the Fair of 40 years ago will be interested in comparisons, younger folk will find it's something to marvel at and remember for 40 years. The presence of ice cold watermelon on our tables also shows us that summer is here. Since watermelon is an outstanding value in the stores this week-end there is no reason why all of us should not enjoy this refreshing fruit. Following are three Sunday dinner menus at different cost levels prepared by the Quaker Maid Kitchen at the World Fair. Low Cost Dinner Cold Sliced Ham Vegetable Salad Pickled Beets Bread and Butter Chocolate Cake Coffee or Tea Milk Medium Cost Dinner Baked Half Ham Scalloped Potatoes Glazed Onions Tomato Salad Bread and Butter Iced Watermelon Coffee (Hot or Iced) Milk Very Special Dinner Mixed Appetizer, Sardines, Salami Olives, Tomato Brown Roast of Lamb or Pork Parsley Potatoes Green Peas Carrots Julienne Lime Aspic with Cucumbers Rolls Butter Lemon Sherbet Sponge Cake Coffee (Hot or Iced) Milk BEAUTY HINTS By NINA TEMPLE A SECRET ON BEING GRACEFUL I know a certain woman whose walk is a delight to the eye. I asked her what was the secret of her very remarkable grace of limbs and she very kindly told me the secret. She said that she had always admired the walk of cats. So she watched them and found that they sleep on their stomachs. She tried this and after a short while noticed that she had achieved a remarkable suppleness of limbs that made her walk most gracefully. used with the intent of offering and found to be wholesome, local.

Here is a nice thick one: Deep Lemon Pie Mix three tablespoonfuls of corn-starch, one and one-half cups sugar, add gradually two cups of boiling water and boil five minutes. Add the grated rind and juice of two lemons, cool slightly, then add the well beaten yolks of four eggs. Cut and fold in the whites of four eggs beaten stiff and dry. Line a deep pan with rich pastry and lay an inch wide strip around the edge of the rim, turn in the mixture and bake twenty-five minutes. Serve chilled. If wished, a meringue may be added to the top, using three eggs, making a most fluffy pie. However, the pie is good without the meringue, and many prefer it so. Cider Frappe Heat sweet cider to the boiling point. Skim, strain through cheese cloth. Chill and freeze to a mush. Serve in stemmed glasses with pieces of ginger for a garnish. Use either the crystallized or the preserved ginger. Napoleon Torte Cream one-half cup of butter and the same of sugar until very light; add four well beaten yolks, stir well beaten yolks, stir well, then add one-half cup of flour, tilted with a bit of salt, one-fourth teaspoon each of cinnamon and cloves. Add one teaspoon each of grated lemon peel and orange peel, two teaspoons of grated chocolate or cocoa, ten almonds grated. Mix thoroughly and fold in the stiffly beaten whites of the eggs. Pour into three buttered layer tins and spread evenly—the layers should be very thin. Bake fifteen to twenty minutes. When cool put the layers together with marmalade. Cover the top with marmalade and then cover with a chocolate ice if desired. Bake small pies, using the patty pans inverted. Fill the shells with raspberry jam and top with whipped cream sprinkled with pistachio nuts. CACTUS PLANT USED AS FOOD Once a bristly desert pest, the cactus plant is now one of California's commercially valuable crops. Not only has it become a prime cattle fodder, but several delicious varieties of candy we made from its fruit, the cactus pear. Many a racher who hopelessly tried to exterminate this plant, now declares a dividend from it. Its advent into other sections of the country is being predicted by California farmers. ROQUEFORT CHEESE SALAD ½ pound roquefort cheese ½ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon paprika 3 teaspoons vinegar 1 cup whipping cream 1 cup shredded cabbage Cream cheese, add salt, paprika and vinegar. Whip cream, fold in cream and cabbage. Pile in refrigerator tray and freeze. Salmon Wieners Made Salmon wieners are the latest fad. An Oregon packing company has compounded those delicacies out of fish and cereals, and they bid fair to prove popular. Canned Eggs Demanded An egg canning plant is operating in Norfolk, Nebraska, at full speed, filling orders of Eastern candy, mayonnaise and baking manufacturers. The average daily output is 6,000 to 7,000 pounds of eggs. Processes involved include candling, mixing and freezing in preparations of the finished product.

EIGHT WIFE SAYS MATE IGNORED ORDER OF JUVENILE COURT Mrs. Naomi Jackson Asks Separate Maintenance from Husband Mrs. Naomi C. Jackson, 1416 Thirty-sixth Street, Northwest, filed a petition for separate maintenance in the District Supreme Court against her husband, Clifton E. Jackson, 11 Ninth Street, Northeast, this week. Mrs. Jackson, who is represented by Attorney George A. Parker, claims that her husband has failed to comply with an order of the Juvenile Court directing him to contribute the sum of $30 monthly to the support of her and their one-year-old child. According to the bill, the Jacksons were married in Alexandria, Va., on December 27, 1928, by the Rev. William King. He deserted her several times, and on April 25, 1931, he left for good. Since that time he was ordered by the Juvenile Court to make a monthly contribution to his family, but has failed to comply with the order, the bill alleges. The wife tells the court that her husband is an employee of the District Government, and after his expenses are paid he nets approximately $85 per month. Mrs. Jackson claims she is unable to work and is forced to live with her father, who is blind. Prominent Woman Dies After Long Illness LINCOLN, Md—Mrs. Annie Campbell, of Vista, Md., died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Holland, at Lincoln, last Thursday, after an illness lasting about one year. Mrs. Campbell was born in Charlottesville, Va., and after her marriage to Nathaniel Campbell, the couple made their home in Washington, D.C., for a short time, then moved to what is now known as Vista, Md., where for nearly fifty years they conducted a successful farm. During most of that time she was actively engaged in the educational and political development of the people in the district and county in which she lived. At the time when the right to vote was first given the Negro in Maryland, she helped make it possible for him to read and understand his ballot by conducting a parochial school at Woodmore, Md., where many received all of the schooling they ever acquired. She also served for more than twenty years as organist of the Catholic Church at Woodmore. She was one of the most active workers of the Women's Federation of Clubs of Prince Georges County, Ladies Auxiliary No. 16, of Woodmore, and Willing Workers Auxiliary, No. 2, of Sacred Heart Catholic Church, White Marsh, Md. Several years ago, Mr. Campbell suffered a severe illness which was followed by a stroke of paralysis, which left him quite helpless about one year ago, Mrs. Campbell became ill, and because of the helplessness of Mr. Campbell, was placed in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Holtnd, where she remained until her death. Funeral services were held at the Sacred Heart church, and burial in the church plot last Saturday. She is survived by her husband, Nathaniel Campbell, of Vista, a son Nicholas Campbell, of Washington; and a nephew, Bernard Calloway, of Philadelphia.

Civil War Veteran Gives Reminiscences Being an 85-year-old Civil War veteran does not prevent Joseph S. Johnson from going about his daily duty as a storekeeper at 320 W Street, northwest. Born a slave at Annapolis, Maryland, March 13, 1847, Johnson, aided by the famo-s Underground Railway, escaped to Washington in 1861 where he enlisted in Company H of the Thirteenth Colored Volunteers. Soon after he was mustered into the infantry twelve ment from each company were chosen to augment the personnel of the Union navy Mr. Johnson was one of them. It was on the U. S. gunboat Potowska that the newly enlisted sailor saw his first action in the navy. The Confederate forces held Fort Sunter against Major Anderson of the Union army, who wrote to President Lincoln for help. A fortilla of Union gunboats, including the Potowska, were ordered to storm the fort. After a 34-hour bombardment, the Confederates surrender. The Potowska afterwards engaged in battle at Simons Sound, Georgia; Bull's Bay, and Fort Johnson in South Carolina; and Fort Fisher, North Carolina. Mr. Johnson took part in all these engagements. From the Potowska he was transferred to gunboat Bainsville on which he served until his discharge at the Philadelphia navy yard in 1865. Not being satisfied with the quietude of a civilian life, the discharged sailor enlisted in the Fortieth Infantry, stationed at Ship Island, Mississippi. This unit was combined with the Thirty-ninth Regulars to form the present Twenty-fifth Infantry. Mr. Johnson was honorably discharged from the Twenty-fifth Infantry in 1869. Mr. Johnson has three daughters a son, and seven grandchildren. At present he is visiting his son in Tusco, Arizona. One of Mr. Johnson's grandchildren, Joseph Ford, serves papers for The Tribune. Highland Beach News By NORMA D. MURRAY The Highland Beach Athletic Association, popularly known as the H.B.A.A., sponsored by Mrs. Alice Frances, is starting off this season by giving a most promising dance on Saturday, July 15, at Ware's Hotel. The proceeds, it is hoped, will enable the association to provide water slides, tennis courts and other amusement features for the residents and their invited guests. The annual H.B.A.A. talent show is to be held later in the season. Dr. Edwin B. Henderson, senior physical education instructor at Dunbar High School, and owner of the "Lazy Holt" Cottage, instead of spending the summer at the beach is attending summer school at Columbia University. Although it seemed that the Fourth would be cool and rainy, it turned out quite pleasant. The crowd of residents and visitors was rather large. Among those seen on the beach were Mercer Cook, wife and son; Mr. and Mrs. Clinton Burke, the newly-weds; Mr. and Mrs. D. Lanauez, Miss LaVerne Gregory and boy friend, Monroe and Frances Gregory, and Miss Eunice Matthews. Barrington Guy opened his inn on the Fourth for the summer. He and Hartwell Cook are entertaining the juveniles again. Mr. Cook has written several pretty new songs and Mr. Guy is singing them as only he can. The combination of Cook and Guy is remembered by all Highland Beach visitors for "The Phantom Love" of last season.

Johnson told officers of the Fourth Precinct that the mishap occurred while he was playing on the corner of Seventh and T Streets Northwest.

HURT BY WRINGER Caught in a clothes wringer, Harriett Robinson, 12, of 1528 Columbia Road, Northwest, suffered a bruised right hand, Saturday morning.

COMMISSIONERS CAN'T REVIEW COMPLAINTS Rapidly spreading rumors that the Civil Service Commission was investigating the office of the recorder of deeds and other government units as a result of complaints of unfairness, made by dismissed employees, were discounted by that body in a statement issued, Tuesday. Numerous charges have been made by certain workers, let out in the government's retrenchment and reorganization plan, that efficiency rating were manipulated so that the favored ones might be retained. Press reports that the Civil Service Commission would review these cases prompted the statement that the commission has no power to review such efficiency ratings. Four government units are not subservient to the Civil Service Commission in the matter of the selection of its employees. The personnel of these four units are not selected by virtue of examination, but are chosen by the chiefs for their efficiency, skill, and particular fitness for the position in question. The independent offices are: Government Printing, Register of Wills, Library of Congress and the Recorder of Deeds. Nineteen Not Eligible Several persons dismissed from the last named office are said to have appealed to the commission. Aside from the office not being under the jurisdiction of the civil service, the rule is that no employee may have a review of his efficiency rating unless the rating drops to a grade of 65. All of the nineteen employees dropped by Jefferson S. Coage, recorder of deeds, in keeping with the economy program, had a rating of 70 or more. Rating Up to Chiefs The statement of the Civil Service Commission said the body had received, as might be expected, a number of complaints alleging unfair efficiency ratings of dismissed employees, but it had made no announcement of an intention to review these complaints to decide whether injustice had been done. It also pointed out that it cannot determine the degree of the efficiency of an employee. The statement continued: "Numerous court decisions and opinions of attorneys general have declared that such questions as the diligence, accuracy and general performance of employees are not within the control of the commission. It was said by the Supreme Court of the United States in one case that these are matters peculiarly within the province of those who are in charge of and superintending the department, and until Congress, by some special and direct legislation, makes provision to the contrary, we are clear that they must be settled by those administrative officers." Columbia Temple Elks By Ruth Massey Powell By Ruth Massey Powell The installation of officers of the temple, held at Masonic Temple, Monday, July 10, was a fine display. Amid palms and other decorations the retiring daughter ruler, Marie W. Swailes, after making a speech that was in the true spirit of sisterly-love, turned the gavel over to Deputy Alethya Williams for installation, which was most fittingly conducted. The new daughter ruler, Lucinda Lewis, in her inaugural speech stated that it was one of the happiest moments of her life being elected and installed amid such greetings. She said she would work for the uplift and betterment of the temple and would uphold the dignity of same, taking God for guidance. Past Daughter Ruler Marie M. Marshall was then presented by Daughter N. Washington as mistress of ceremonies. The band was present and rendered many pleasing selections. Solos were rendered by Daughters P. Patterson and P. Robinson; reading by Daughter B. King; Speeches were made by the chief antler, officers of the various councils, lodges and temples who were present. Gifts were presented to the officers and to a number of the grand officers. There was a profusion of presents and baskets of flowers. A delicious collation was served by the social session committee. Legislature Demands Inquiry Into World Fair Cafe Discrimination CHICAGO—The state legislature adopted a resolution last week calling upon State's Attorney Thomas Courtney to conduct a grand jury investigation into the alleged discrimination against colored people by cafes, casinos and other concessions operating at the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. Lawyers for the Chicago N.A.A.C.P. are studying the state laws with a view to applying for an injunction to close the concessions on the grounds they are public misuses. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, JULY 13, 1933 N.A.A.C.P. Conference Stresses Economic Status in Resolutions CHICAGO—Resolutions adopted here at the closing session Sunday afternoon of the 24th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People demand employment for Negroes in private industry and especially in public works programs financed by public funds. The resolutions, dealing more than ever before with the economic status of the Negro demand redistribution of wealth through progressive taxation of larger incomes; and sickness, old age and unemployment insurance. The demand for this progressive social legislation has been in each of the resolutions of the recent conferences of the association. It is also demanded that Negroes be appointed to membership on the labor advisory board of the National Recovery act, to strategic positions in the Reconstruction Finance Corporation and to all boards dealing with agricultural problems. Organization of unemployed Negroes in every city to deal with their problems and secure a fair share of relief is urged, as is action which obtain profits from Negroes. Hitlerism Scored The resolutions denounce the "vicious campaign of race prejudice directed against Jews and Negroes by the Hitler government in Germany," and score also "the attacks against workers and workers' organizations by this government." The Olympics committee is called upon to secure a plain statement that Negro athletes would be received and treated as man and equals in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Concerning Liberia, Haiti, Hawaii and the Virgin Islands, the resolutions say: Liberia "We insist that Liberia be permitted to work out its own destiny unharmed by the unprincipled efforts of such institutions as the Firestone Corporation and Wall Street investment houses. Haiti "The Republic of Haiti is a tragic victim of American imperialism. "We demand the immediate and permanent withdrawal of all marines and American naval, military and civil officials. "Since the Massie case the American government is revealing a definite tendency to reduce the people of Hawaii to the level of colonial dependents. We demand that President Roosevelt continue the established practice of permitting the territorial governor to be chosen from the island population and that no efforts be made to restrict the independence of the islanders at the behest of a vicious and prejudiced naval clique. The Virgin Islands "We insist upon complete autonomy for the Virgin Islanders who are suffering intense economic and political oppression under American control." The resolutions end with a ringing indictment of the present violent treatment of Negro citizens and discriminatory legislation and customs and practices against them and warns President Roosevelt that if action is not taken to correct the treatment of Negroes, an appeal will be taken to the League of Nations. Constitution Considered It was voted to name a committee to consider a recommendation of the Chicago branch to revise the constitution and by-laws of the N.A.A.C.P. and to report findings to the board of directors. The committee will consist of five members one of whom will be a national staff member and one a member of the Chicago branch. It also was voted to ask the continuance of the school of architecture and engineering at Howard Camera Men Miss Chance to Photograph Vann Taking Oath of Office Camera Men Miss Chance to Photograph Vann Taking Oath of Office Capital News Service Robert L.

Photographers and Mr. Vann's friends were at the Department of Justice building on Thursday and again on Friday morning, July 7. About noon Friday, the cameramen and others waiting in the reception room of the Attorney General, were informed: "Mr. Vann will not be sworn in, until after the cabinet meeting which convenes at the White House at 2 p.m." About 4 p.m., Mr. Vann and his friends were again on hand, and the ceremony took place about 4:45 p.m. No photographers put in an appearance.

On Sunday afternoon the conference heard Walter White, secretary of the association, give a resume of the year's work and urge greater economic activity for the new year. Charles H. Houston of Washington, D.C., also spoke, warning that intelligent radicalism rather than wild radicalism or, ultra conservatism, must be adopted by the Negro. The 1934 session will be held in Oklahoma City, Okla., and will be the second session held in the South since the association was formed in 1910.

BY JAMES E. MILLER Director, Community Senters Band At the request of some several of my friends, I have consented to write just a few observations of mine, which, owing to my more than a decade of experience here in the nation's capital, may be profitable to those who may be choosing to enter upon this greatest of all arts. In the very first instance, let me observe that, while by sheer dint of merciless application and perseverance, labor and toil, repetition and what not, much that is excellent and pleasing to the popular demand may be achieved; still, it is the maxim of the highest sanction by the most profound students of music, both as a science and as an art, that genuine musicians are born, not made. And, just in this connection, let me note that parents, and guardians of entering pupils so often make the common error of undertaking to select the child's instrument, without consulting a trained musical teacher. And, mark you, it is not every one who knows both the science and the art of music, who can successfully impart its rudiments and thereby familiarize his pupil with that elementary grounding and basic foundation a lack of which follows him all through his course of preparation and matriculation in the musical classic. Change of Instrument Sometimes Necessary So frequently, therefore, in the course of my training of a pupil, I have found it materially necessary to change his instrument; and that, too, after incurring the opposition of the parent or guardian. Nature's gifts are patent and fixed; and, the artificial conventions of man can only refine and enhance them. Gold is gold and the supreme art of the smith is consummated in its refinement. So many pupils and their parents select the violin for preparation instead of the piano, and that for two or three years, in order to familiarize them with the true sounds of the scale. Again, it is true that many performers upon an instrument in the most delicate and artistic mode, can not, as a matter of fact, successfully teach that instrument. The reason is patent and to the trained musical teacher present no difficulty. Successful musical teaching, is, in itself a whole study of itself, and he or she who undertakes to impart a knowledge of the principles and the underlying art of music will speedily attest that hours and hours of patient endeavor and application are necessary to discover the peculiar musical adaptability of his or her pupil. Must Have Natural Aptitude to Teach It is obvious, therefore, that discovery of little or no progress upon the part of a pupil after years and years of faithful instruction and attendance, warrants the direct and immediate change of instructors. College graduation, post-college courses in the mere rudiments of musical science and art do not embrace the primary principles of successful teaching. These are acquisitions learned from both natural aptitude and an enhanced experience with numerous pupils. In these very painful days of need and industrial stagnation, it will not. I sincerely hope, be contended that there is any time for efforts in musical art, wherein there is no immediate demand for that class of music; to be more exact, the day for the violin with our boys is temporarily over. Our jazz concerts are today devoid of the violin; and, if a young man or woman is a concert violin player, he or she must travel from city to city to find employment. The demands of the music lovers today include the following instruments: saxophone, piano, trombone, clarinet, drum. These a young man or woman can utilize at any time and place, locally or elsewhere. Consult Teacher as to Child's Ability In a parent's efforts to give his son or daughter the musical culture and preparation that he would desire, let me admonish him to, first of all, consult a trained musical teacher, to the end of ascertaining upon the cold basic facts of experience, just what instrument and its technique the child is best fitted to 'OWN YOUR OWN CAB' 1932 Chevrolet Sedans $50 Down Liberal Terms See Mr. Kahn 610 H St., N.E.

Suffice it to note that accomplishments in either of these very essential and important departments of musical culture, to the true music teacher, is a matter which time alone perfects, together with the most assidious practice. Hang 'Em Says Richmond N.A.A.C.P; Too Many Negroes Murder Their Own Race RICHMOND, Va.—(CNS)—Officials of the local branch of the N.A.A.C.P. are reported to have asked Richmond police courts to punish Negroes convicted of slaying other Negroes with life imprisonment or a death sentence. The reason for this request, it was said, was prompted by the attitude of white juries in local hustings courts of imposing light sentences in such cases. This was said to make for less respect for the law. The local branch, was said to be convinced, that steiner sentences will do much to reduce the percentages of crime among Richmond's Negro citizens.

RENT SURVEY Negroes Make up Large Percentage of Class Under Probe Colored renters who make up a large percentage of the low-wage class in the District will be given particular study in the survey of rented housing conditions being conducted by the Public Utilities Commission at the behest of the Senate. This was revealed in a series of written instructions outlined by the commission for the guidance of its rent survey research assistant, James Ring, which was made public late Saturday. The efforts to establish the extent of low cost sanitary housing for families in the low-salary class and those supported by relief agencies will be a special part of the survey side of the commission's rental study. Another important phase of the work will be the compilin of complaints from tenants and an effort to seek adjustments in worthy cases. 6-Month Period. The commission said it is desirable that the survey include all pertinent information relative to mass housing projects begun or contemplated here, as well as a statement of the possibilities for construction of rented premises along modern housing lines. Ring was directed to make his survey report comprehensive and to include facts concerning rent levels for the six months period up to next January, in comparison with those a year previous. Vacancies, profits from rental operations and conditions in financing of rented properties also are to be compared in the same way. Facts also are sought concerning leases, real estate taxation, cost of construction of rented properties and practices of real estate agents and owners. To Consult Agent "On determination by the commission of the issue of complaint," the instructions read, "the agent and the tenant shall be promptly advised of such action, and in the event of the refusal of any of the parties to accept the decision of the commission, the commission shall take such further action as it may deem advisable." In cases where the tenant has not consulted the agent about the subject of his complaint, the tenant will be instructed to do so and to inform the commission of the result of such an interview, the statement continues. The commission ruled that all material for publication in the press or for public addresses shall be approved first by the commission. The commission will entertain no complaints about home buying or foreclosures, since the survey is limited to housing in rented premises, and it will take no action on complaints when parties thereto are engaged in litigation. Refusing the request of a woman for a cigarette, Samuel Woodfolk, of 2503 Sherman Avenue, Northwest, was cut on the ear, Monday afternoon.

The man refused and proceeded to walk on. As he did so, the woman swung at him with a knife, slashing his right ear. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. Wright. The injured man told police that he was going to find out the woman's name and secure a warrant for her.

They will tell you that they were "pretty close" and Jupiter did pretty much to suit himself in the Reifschneider household. He ate at the family table, ordered the half-grown son of the dead woman around, and seemed to be boss on the farm. white, says Jupiter was a perfectly normal man as far as he could see, and Jailer J. J. Dorsey, colored, stated that he had a talk with Jupiter while the latter was in the La Plata jail, but Dorsey refused to tell what the man said of his relations with Mrs. Reifschneider. When questioned on this point Dorsey smiled and looked towards the horizon at the sky. Forbidden Love? Jupiter was a native of Shiloh Md., but had spent a number of years traveling with the Miller Brothers' 101 Ranch Circus. He had been living in Ohio before returning to La Plata. Although he He was working on the farm to pay a $20 debt. Jupiter had bought groceries for that amount, the slain woman's husband paid the bill and asked him to work it out at the rate of $10 per month. Jupiter had several days left to work prior to the slaying. Often Seen Together The pair was seen together quite often and neighbors of the woman will tell you she was from the North, while her husband was a Southern white man. She and Jupiter spent many days on the farm alone and in the woods together. They seemed to like each other and were quite friendly. Jupiter told officers that the woman asked him to kill her, and he was supposed to kill himself, but for some reason he failed to carry out the last half of the bargain. State's Attorney Edward F.

WASHINGTON LIFE GUARDS RESCUE BOY FROM BAY WASHINGTON LIFE GUARDS RESCUE BOY FROM BAY Baltimore Picnicker Saved from Chesapeake by Cardozo Youths Two Washington youths, life guards at Sparrow Beach, Md., near Annapolis, saved the life of a 15-year-old Baltimore boy, Friday while several hundred spectators looked on helpless. The rescue which was one of the most spectacular, was made in a rough sea while the boy was 400 feet from shore. Deaver Boston, 1603 Harlem Avenue, Baltimore, had come to the beach with a church picnic and was swimming alongside of a row boat when he decided to leave the boat and swim back to shore. The two guards, French Burke, 623 Twenty-third Place, Northeast, and Ellicott Burke, 754 Irving Street, Northwest, brothers, saw the boys when waves began to carry him further from the shore. Without hesitation the guards leaped into the bay and swam to the boy who had become exhausted, and brought him ashore where he was revived. Sparrows Beach is located on the Chesapeake Bay and is a popular resort for summer visitors. The Burke brothers are natives of Washington and attend Cardozo Business High School.

Jupiter was a native of 'Shiloh, Md., but had spent a number of years traveling with the Miller Brothers' 101. Ranch Circus. He had been living in Ohio before returning to La Plata. Although he was not considered a handmade man, they say he had a "way" with women and his travels with the circus had somewhat added to his store of feminine knowledge. When arraigned Tuesday he was somewhat calmer than the night before when a mob of forty white farmers stormed the jail in search of him. However, he was a bit nervous Tuesday after his wild ride to Upper Marlboro, where he was taken for safe keeping. Despite the seriousness of the crime with which he was charged, he was unusually composed and stated that "I did not like the closeness of that crowd" in referring to the mob. Just what his story will be when he is tried for the six murder of Mrs. Feifschneider is not known, but it is hinted that he will relate a story of a forbidden love which ended in one of the most brutal murders in the state of Maryland.

Carson. The Chicago meeting will be held August 14-18 and visitors will be given opportunity to attend the Century of Progress in the Windy City. Graduate Nurses Meet The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses will meet at the same time. The National Hospital Association holds its sessions August 13-14 while the National Association of Life Insurance Examiners meets August 14. "There are many reasons," said Dr. M. O. Boussid, president-elect of the National Medical Association, "why this should be one of the largest meetings in recent years." "In the first place, Chicago is always a popular city for a convention, its fine favorable weather and cool lake breezes, the well known hospitality of the people and the many conveniences of the city all make it an ideal spot. Over 800 physicians registered for the last meeting in Chicago. Over 500 are expected this year and perhaps more. "The Century of Progress: Exposition, now in full swing, has convinced all skeptically minded persons that there is a real World's Fair in Chicago. The special medical exhibits and other scientific displays have never been equaled before in any one assemblage. Medical men will be especially interested in these exhibits and will find their time well spent if they take at least three extra days to visit the Hall of Science," expressed Dr. Callis. OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER UNDER INVI NEGRO WORKERS SHOULD REGISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS NEGRO WORKERS SHOULD REGISTER FOR PUBLIC WORKS Government Construction Jobs to Go·Chiefly to Those Listed at Agencies NEW YORK.—Workers on the government's huge public works construction program will be selected largely from those registered at employment agencies designated by the United States Employment Service and colored workers are urged to find out from their local U. S. Employment service office just which agencies are to receive registrations. "Negro workers should register at once for these jobs in order that no alibis can be presented when the actual hiring begins," said a statement from the N.A.A.C.P. "Secretary Harold L. Ickes has stated the conditions under which labor will be employed and colored workers are urged to follow the rules laid down for everyone. Then, if any discrimination is shown and a protest is made, officials will not be able to say that Negro workers were not registered properly." The N. A. A. C. P. has sent a telegram to Colonel Donald H. Sawyer, who is expected to be continued as permanent director of the public works program, urging that the government see that contractors do not discriminate against Negro workers in employing men for public works. The telegram asked Colonel Sawyer "to take all steps possible, especially the inclusion of specific clauses in contracts, agreements, or other documents dealing with administration of the public works act, to prohibit discrimination in employment on account of race, color or creed." The telegram continues: "Denial to Negroes, especially in government construction and other projects financed by the federal government, is notorious through contractors refusing to give Negro workers full and fair share of employment. Every possible step should be taken to prevent continuance of this discriminatory practice." "Every effort will be made to execute Industrial Recovery act without discrimination." U.S. Laborers' Wrangle Ends in Police Court Two U.S. government laborers had a fist battle, Saturday and as a result one ended up in Gallinger Hospital, and both were detained, on a charge of "investigation."

Gaines is also said to have knocked Everett down, causing him to strike his head against the sidewalk and injure his scalp. Both men were given first-aid treatment at Freedmen's Hospital before they were booked by police.

Mr. Robinson alleges that at various times since the company was formed he has purchased some 385 shares, but officers have failed to give him the proper certificates and lately he has been told by some of the directors that certain books of the company are misplaced and they have been unable to find records of all of his purchases. Has Capital of $25,000 According to the petition, the company, which is located in the building formerly occupied by the Prudential Bank, 715 Florida Avenue, was incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia, February 28, 1922, with a capital stock of $25,000 divided into 2,500 shares with a par value of $10 each. Robinson said that on June 1, 1926, this capital was increased to $50,000, and the additional shares of stock representing 2,500 shares were subscribed for, but that at a time unknown to him the subscriptions were cancelled for non-payment. Robinson alleges that on February 28, 1922, he subscribed and paid for 100 shares of the first issue which was given to him, and by a subsequent purchase he acquired 283 additional shares. After the latter purchase he became a member of the board of directors. Is Junk Dealer He further claims that on July 5, 1933, he subscribed for 35 additional shares and from time to time made payments amounting to $500 and gave his promissory note to the sum of $1,110, payable to the corporation and dated July 5, 1923. Robinson, who is a junk dealer, sets forth that he is not familiar with corporations and relied on other members of the board who promised to issue to him stock for the additional shares and to straighten his stock situation. He claims in his petition that on May 24, this year, members of the board met and agreed to appoint a committee to straighten out the stock muddle, but on June 28, the committee reported, and following this report the board notified him that it would not issue the stock. Records Lost He said he was informed that no records could be found pertaining to his purchase of stock. Robinson says that Clifford T. Taylor, a director, was elected secretary-manager to serve for a term of one year ending December 31, 1933, but on June 7, the board attempted to divest Taylor from the office and had the locks on the doors changed and a new combination for the safe was installed. Robinson points out that this has left the corporation without a secretary-manager and no one in charge of the books and records. This action has caused dissension and strife in the corporation among its directors which has resulted in considerable loss of business. Robinson is represented by Attorney William C. Hueston. Believe It or Not; Thief Overlooks Money in Pocket of Stolen Car Capital News Service Believe it or not—$25 in silver (quarters) remained in Fred Pelham's stolen automobile on Saturday night, June 24, until Wednesday afternoon, June 28. Shep Allen of the Howard Theatre handed Mike the money just as the outing party left the theatre late Saturday night. Busy at the wheel, the handful of silver was dumped into the side pockets of the new car. When Pelham went to No. 1 Precinct to reclaim the car Wednesday afternoon, much to his surprise he found the money intact in the side pocket of the car. The fact that the purlerion of the car rode more than 100 miles in easy reach of the money; that the unlocked car stood for 24 hours on a downtown street and that the police overlooked the handof of silver—makes this story worthy of a place in Ripley's files. $15,000 IS RAISED IN CAMPAIGN BY ASBURY CHURCH Budget of $14,000 Over Subscribed by $1,000, Report Shows "The every member canvass to secure subscriptions to the budget of Asbury M.E. Church went over the top," said the pastor, the Rev. Robert M. Williams. "Our budget was placed at $14,000 for this year, and we have more than $15,000 subscribed. It is the first time that we have oversubscribed our budget." The pastor is elated with the success of the campaign. It exceeded last year's campaign by more than 100 per cent he made. Known The church was divided into 14 teams. Team No. 7, under the leadership of Albert Hawkins, led the campaign with subscriptions amounting to $1,498.40. Team No. 2, under Mrs. Henrietta L. Jackson, with $1,450.20, was second; and team No. 10, under W. H. Johnson, was third with $1,400.00. The lowest amount was $650 by team No. 4. Two-Year Campaign This campaign proved so successful that the pastor has inaugurated a two-year campaign to raise $30,000 for 1934 and 1935. This work will formally begin on July 16 and continue until July, 1935. More than $3,000 has been subscribed toward this campaign. The pastor is optimistic regarding the success of this campaign as the present year subscription exceeded the amount asked. This is the Rev. Mr. Williams's second year at Asbury, and his leadership is recognized and has placed Asbury in the forefront of the progressive churches in the M.E. denomination. The church owes $25,000, which this campaign hopes to pay off.

(ANP)—William Webber is the first farmer in this county to agree to limit his acreage in accordance with the new federal regulations. Webber signed the first cotton contract Friday in Richland county, agreeing to destroy seven and a half acres. J. E. Dickson, county agent, received the contract. Dickson explained the government program to 400 colored farm workers at Eastover, Thursday, who readily endorsed it. Wednesday night, at a similar meeting, another group of 250 made known its approval. Dickson reports that more than 136 colored farmers in two counties are ready to sign their names. These contracts with farmers are a part of the "new deal" program of President Roosevelt. The plan is to balance supply with demand and eliminate over production.

Presbyterians Reduce Schools for Colored in the South NEW YORK—(ANP)—Mergers, consolidations and discontinuance of a number of schools which previously have been conducted under the auspices of the Presbyterian Church have reduced to a large degree the remarkable work done by this religious denomination through the agency of its Board of Missiones for Freedmen. Of the 128 schools which have been founded and supported by the Presbyterians since the church beban its work among Negroes in 1864, but 21 now remain. The depression along with other causes has been responsible for the most recent contractions. Many Mergers Some of the newer changes may be listed as follows: The Margaret Barber Seminary, Anniston, Ala., now takes in the day pupils of South Highland School. Both institutions have been recognized by Alabama as Class A and recognized by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States. Selden Institute at Brunswick, Ga., and the Nannie J. Gillespie Normal and Industrial Institute of Cordele, Ga., have been merged under the name of Nannie J. Gillespie-Selden Institute. Mr. Mitchell, principal of Selden, goes to Cordele to aid in building up that work. Arkadelphia Press byterian Academy at Arkadelphia, Ark., has been merged with Cotton Plant Academy at Cotton Plant Ark. Harbinson Agricultur and Industrial Institute, Irmo, S. C., henceforth will receive the girls of the Irmo Church Grade School beginning this fall. Haines Institute Yet Open Haines Institute, founded by Miss Lucy Laney, has been kept open due to the faithfulness of the alumni and friends who raised $6,700 for teachers' salaries. The church contributed $2,300 to the work. Mary Allen Junior College at Crockett. Texns, the school which brought honor to the board last year by being one of the first three educational institutions for Negroes which was given the Class A rating by the Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools of the Southern States, is venturing into a new field. Next year it becomes co-educational. Thus the superior work offered at Mary Allen Seminary will be participated in by by young men as well as young women. Three schools in North Carolina have been made into one at Oxford, LAYMEN'S CONFERENCE OF THE Y.M.C.A.

Taylor, will have for his subject, "Responsibility of the Strong." forming the Mary Potter-Redistone-Albion Academy. Bowling Green Academy in Kentucky has closed its classroom doors but keeps its home open for students who come to Bowling Green to attend the public schools. Four Day Schools Kept Open The four day schools, which the board still maintains are located in sorely needed districts, the James Island on James Island, Larimer school on Edisto Island, Lincoln High school at Due West, S. C., and McClelland Academy at Newnan, Ga. Part of the reason for the discontinuance of these schools is the rapid advance being made in educational facilities of the south, inadequate though they still are. In an official statement the church points out: "When the Presbyterians began their work in 1864, there were few schools for Negroes in existence. For many decades after the Civil War, the south did not feel a public responsibility for the education of its black citizens. The board then established many institutions which at that time were needed in practically every area. Within recent years, portions of the south have begun to sense their obligation to those of darker hues. "Not only have city, county and state schools been established but high standards, standards equal to those for white institutions have been set up for the accrediting of Negro schools. "By the time the public awakened to the needs of the Negro, several of our school buildings were old and our equipment out-moded. Nevertheless, many of our schools met the standards set by the states and given the highest rating by them. "Unfortunately, finances have date equipment in all of our up-to-date equipment in all of our institutions. Furthermore, with the establishment of public schools and with the curtailment of church contributions there has been a gradual cutting off of our schools for colored boy and girls. "There is much about which to be encouraged. Of course until the board begins to feel the upward swing from the depression, it will be a matter of holding their own for even the few schools yet maintained. After that, with interest and funds concentrated on fewer schools, a richer and more effective program may be offered in each, than was hitherto possible."

JULY 13. 1933 BAPTIST SEMINAR CLOSES SESSIONS Miss Nannie Burroughs Gives Summary of Work and Ten-Point Program At the close of the seminar held at the Metropolitan Baptist Church last week, a special committee appointed to summarize the purposes and field program for the future, challenged the group to become a Christian company of uncompromising crusaders. "Where Do We Go From Here?" was the tense and direct question which they put up to the conference in a ten-point program. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, who was one of the speakers at the semina, summarizes the work of the committee and the seminar thus: "The committee stated that we are organizing to carry on a campaign and to promote a crusade for the glory of God and the advancement of the Christian faith "To that end, we call upon Negro Baptists everywhere to close ranks and face together our common Christian tasks, and work unitedly on those common tasks on all fronts. Those common tasks are the revitalization of an unselfish interest in all our worth while, already established agencies, enterprises and institutions; and the building up of a finer individual church and community life by teaching, preaching, living and glorifying the social teachings of Jesus Christ. Against Splits "They made it clear that the deeper concern will not be about material things—honors, positions, and inconsequential differences that have caused a number of cisms, splits and camps in the great denomination. They have set themselves to the task of making the glorification of such things of the spirit as understanding, Christian co-operation, fellowship, goodwill, New Testament evangelism and unselfish devotion to the causes that concern the economic welfare of the masses, their major project. "Those who attended the seminar belong to all wings of the denomination and are definitely opposed to Baptists having any more wings, Dr. Walter H. Brooks seemed to voice the sentiment of the entire conference when he said, "We want to become the leaven in the whole Baptist lump, working for God and not for personal honor and preferment." "The meeting was in every way, illuminating, instructive and challenging. Those who spoke had gone to the pains to make very thorough preparation. There was no bombast. To the most indifferent or casual looker-on the whole assembly had the air of a school of students, servants and prophets of God. The keynote address by the executive director, the Rev. W. H. R. Powell, of Philadelphia, Pa., was deeply spiritual but heroically challenging." Others Who Spoke In addition to the speakers mentioned in the report published last week, the following addressed the gathering: The Rev. J. E. Rose, Rochester, N.Y., "How Baptists Can Promote Inter-racial Co-operation"; Eustace Gay, Philadelphia, "Importnace and Value of Active Participation of Laymen in Denominational Work"; the Rev. C. T.

Phillip Dines opened the C.E. discussion last Sunday with the subject, "What Is Conscience, and How Can It Be Educated and Trained?" He defined conscience to be the inward moral sense that discriminates between right and wrong. It grows with us as other faculties, and is an infallible monitor when constantly and properly exercised. Conscience, he said, becomes hardened and seared by constant disregard of what it dictates. Obedience to conscience is a safe-guard to the journeying Christian. The Rev. Zebidee Hawkins said that conscience may sometimes be perverted as seen in those religious fanatics that burned witches at the stake in the early history of this country. But when the conscience is stimulated and regulated by the love of Christ, it directs the ship of life to its proper haven, just as the compass, set by the Polar Star, directs a merchant ship on its true course. By another speaker conscience was likened to an alarm clock that marks the time for action. If heeded, all's well. If unheeded—delay, danger and destruction may follow. Other speakers were William H. Anderson and Mrs. Flora Chase. The meeting was opened by a song service directed by W. H. Anderson, with Miss Sylvia Chase at the piano. Phillip Dines is the president.

TWELFTH STREET Y GETS $12,500 IN TWO LEGACIES Board Authorizes Renovizing and Renovating Plans to Use Funds As a result of two bequests totaling $15,000, set aside by two interested white women, the board of managers of the Washington Y. M. C. A., has authorized the expenditure of $12,500 to renovate and re-equip the Twelfth Street branch, of which Campbell C. Johnson is executive secretary. The renovizing program includes: painting, landscaping, remodeling, refurnishing the lobby, re-equipping the dormitory, modernizing the boys' department, and reconditioning the gymnasium apparatus. One of the special features is to be the special guests' room. When the program is completed, the building is expected to be one of the most attractive in the country for the group. To Dedicate Building Plans are now being prepared under the direction of Howard Mackey, Howard University architect, and the work on them is scheduled to begin in the near future. Following the reconditioning of the building, plans are also being made for its re-dedication, together with the celebration of the 80th anniversary of the branch on Founders' Day, November 11. The house committee, Rufus G. Byars, chairman, is in direct charge of the work; Walter L. Carter is chairman of the finance committee, and Dr. W. O. Claytor is chairman of the committee of management. $2,500 Placed in Fund The legacies making possible the program were given by Mrs. Anna M. Kingan. $10,000, and by Mrs Francis Young. $5,000. The $2,500 not used in the present program will be placed in a fund for future needs. Mrs. Kingan, who died in 1924, took an active interest in the Twelfth Street branch during her life time. She made several contributions, including a library of the logical books. In addition, Mrs. Kingan maintained memberships in the branch for several of her servants. Her will also be queathed $2,000 to the Voorhees Industrial School, of North Caroli. Miss Young died the past year. With the culmination of the provisions of the two wills, the refinishing program was announced. Funeral of Mrs. Ware Held Monday The funeral of Mrs. Mattie Lee Ware, who died Friday at her residence, 392 I Street, Southeast, from acute indigestion, was held Tuesday afternoon from the St. Matthew Baptist Church, on New Jersey Avenue, Southeast, with the pastor, the Rev. Grace Wright, officiating. Mrs. Ware was born in Waynesboro, Georgia and came to Washington about ten years ago. She was a Miss Mattie Lee Merrill and was married to William Joseph Ware in 1926. Three children were born to them. Mrs. Ware is survived by her husband and three children. Her father, William Ware of Waynesboro, Ga.; two sisters, Mrs. Ella Banks and Mrs. Maggie Johnson of this city. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL HITLER A PIKER COMPARED TO ZULU KING NEW YORK (ANP)—"N.P." writing Monday from Brooklyn to The Times takes occasion to compare Adolph Hitler, German leader, and Tshaka, one-time king of the Zulus. Writes N.P.: "The Times quotes Herr Goebels, speaking at the 'mass wedding of forty-seven Nazi couples, to the effect that 'there never in all the world, was a mass wedding to equal today's.' "The Nazis are notoriously ignorant of history. Only 105 years ago, there died a man whose life Hitler and his friends might study with interest. He was Tshaka, ruler of the Zulus from 1810 to 1828. His rule extended over more than 250,000 square miles of African territory. "He organized the entire youth of his country into military regiments. Every boy and girl formed a military unit with all members of their respective sexes born in the same year. It was a capital crime punishable with decapitation to be seen speaking to an unmarried member of the opposite sex. "Once a year a royal decree would issue, ordering a certain regiment of males to marry a corresponding regiment of females. The individual couples would be indicated by numbers, and it would have been folly, of course, to rebel at the choice made by the king, sight unseen. "So once annually the state would celebrate a gigantic wedding in which an average of 25,000 male Zulu youths would be wed to an equal number of females. This certainly dwarfs Herr Goebbels' mass weddings." "Tshaka's rule is startlingly suggestive of Hitler's race theory. Only Tshaka had 400 children, whom he killed in his lifetime, and the Nazis might profit by the story of the 7,000 Zulus who killed each other on the day of Tshaka's mother's death, to show that they shared their ruler's grief." Carries Razor to Wipe Bugs off Windshield of Automobile; Fined $50 For carrying a razor to "shave the bugs" off the windshield of his car, Edward Williams was fined $50 and given 30 days in jail following a trial in the police court, Friday morning. Robinson was arrested at Suburban Gardens on July 4 on complaint of Miss Esther Dunn, of Alexandria. She told the court that the man threatened her and carried a razor in the top of his automobile within easy reach of his hand. On taking the witness stand Robinson told the court he used the razor for wiping bugs off of the windshield of the car. Miss Dunn said she was afraid he might use the weapon on her. It was also testified that Robinson was over a block from the razor and car when arrested, however, the court failed to see why a perfectly good razor should be used as a windshield wiper and meted out the penalty to the man. Virgin Islands Leader Seeks Jobs for Natives ST. THOMAS.V.I.—(By Adolph Gereau for ANP)—Virgin Islands for Virgin Islanders, might well be described as the platform of Lionel Roberts, a militant leader in the Colonial Council here and a critic of Governor Pearson's administration. Mr. Roberts made public this week a program which calls for a complete reorganization of the governmental machinery, which he hopes to present to the Roosevelt administration. Mr. Roberts would begin by having natives of the Virgin Islands appointed to all positions in the islands which they are capable of filling. If his plan is put into operation, Mr. Roberts says, it would set up an inexpensive government here, in which natives would largely participate, and would lessen the burden on the Federal Government in appropriating large sums of money annually for the support of the islands. "We would not be as dependent on the Federal appropriation as we now are," Mr. Roberts said, "although it will be necessary to get some little annual aid from Congress." Mr. Roberts is also working on a plan by which the islands may contract for an industrial loan from the Federal Government to be repaid over a period of years. "I am interested in, and endeavoring to find, ways and means by which the islands may be rendered as near as possible to being self-supporting." Mr. Roberts said, "and I do not know of a better way to accomplish this end than to begin with a reorganized governmental system and money in hand to establish industries." Mt. Moriah Baptist The pastor, the Rev. J. H. Randolph, preached Sunday at 11 o'clock, to a large attendance. At 3:30 p.m. he preached to the ushers' board. The ushers had an entertaining program in connection with the sermon. The pastor preached again at 8 o'clock. The B.Y.P.U., junior and seniors, had services with well arranged programs at the usual hours. Prayer meeting Tuesday at noon The Negro's Problems Justify Radical Attack, Says Houston But Intelligent Leadership Needed for Guidance, Howard University Law School Dean Tells N.A.A.C.P. Conference CHICAGO. (ANP)--The Negro's problems require a radical attack, but an attack-directed by intelligent leaders, declared Charles H. Houston, vice-dean of the Howard University law school, here Sunday afternoon at the closing mass meeting of the twenty-fourth annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People at the Savoy ballroom, 47th and South Park Way. J. Finley Wilson Endorse Negro Industrial League Program in Wire Capital News Service J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, last Saturday sent a strong telegram to Presi The Houston speech aroused keen interest because he is working both with the International Labor Defense and with the N.A.A.C.P. He is a personal friend of both William Patterson, L.L.D. secretary, and Walter White, N.A.A.C.P. secretary. He is a member of the Washington Scottsboro action committee and the N.A.A.C.P. legal committee. Tours in Virginia Just three weeks ago he concluded a one-week tour of cities in Virginia with Mr. White speaking on the George Crawford extradition case and helping to arouse, re-organize and set up new branches of the N.A.A.C.P. Mr. Houston, a member of the national legal committee of the N.A.A.C.P., paid high tribute to the character of the work which the national organization has done and said its effectiveness had been a potent force for improving the status of the Negro. Altered Methods Suggested He warned, however, that the as-association and its friends ought to be sure to alter methods as dictated by the times and not to rely solely on the work of the past. "On the other hand," he said, "our radical friends who are working in the Negro's behalf, ought to realize that nothing will be accomplished by mere ballyhoo and vituperation. Radicalism on the Negro problem requires an intelligent leadership akin to that furnished by the N.A.A.C.P. SUE ILLINOIS CENTRAL AND PULLMAN CO. FOR $20,000 CHICAGO—(ANP)—Following through the effort to stop railroads and busses from their jim-crow tactics, the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P., through its attorneys, Herman E. Moore and Graham T. Perry, filed in the Superior court Saturday a suit for $20,000 in which both the Pullman Company and the Illinois Central Railroad were joined. These demages were asked for Mrs. Rosetta Briggs, 4958 Vincennes Avenue, who last year, while sick and under the care of a physician was refused a Pullman ticket to Gulfport, Mississippi on the Illinois Central from Chicago. Had Through Ticket Mrs. Briggs was going from Salt Lake City, Utah, to Gulfport, Mississippi, and had a railroad ticket calling for first-class accommodations from Chicago to Mississippi. She found that officials did not consider her illness and weak condition and she was forced to take a companion and pay her fare while she rode to Mississippi in the day coach although her railroad ticket called for accommodations in the Pullman cars on the best trains out of Chicago. The added expense of a companion, the long ride while convalescent, left Mrs. Briggs in a weakened condition when she arrived south and prolonged her illness. Same Thing Happens to Mrs. Bethune According to reports received at the Chicago office of the N.A.A.A. C.P., the practice is to first discourage colored people from buying Pullman tickets on trains going South even though an interstate passenger cannot come under the jim-crow law of the Southern states. Only last week Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune was refused a Pullman ticket from Chicago to Florida, but instead of demanding her ticket she had some white people purchase it for her. The association hopes to finally take the whole matter of jim-crow trains before the Interstate Commerce Commission and is awaiting the outcome of the Briggs case to take this step. Boxer Floored Five Times But Wins 10-Round Fight CHICAGO. — Although knocked down five times in the first round, Sammy (Kid) Slaughter, Terre Haute middleweight, gained a 10-round decision over George Nichols, white, of Buffalo, here Friday. Slaughter took a count of nine, was knocked out of the ring and floored three other times in the first round. He staged a brilliant come back in the third to beat Nichols decisively in every other round.

Falley Wilson, grand exalted ruler of the Elks, last Saturday sent a strong telegram to President Frankli. Delano Rooveelt urging that Negro labor be given a square deal in the codes of fain competition now being presented to the President for his approval. The grand axalted ruler endorsed the recommendations which had been previously made to the President by the Negro Industrial League. The telegram read as follows: "President Franklin Delano Rooveelt, the White House—On behalf of five hundred thousand Negro Elks we urge that the code for fair competition for the cotton textile industry be not approved until it is modified to include outside crews and cleaners in the minimum wage maximum hours of service provisions so that Negro labor may be benefited by the code "We further urge that the code expressly provide that there be no discrimination between races in the re-e-ployment of labor anticipated as result of the code. We endorse the recommendations of the Negro Industrial League made at the public hearings on the cotton textile code." Four Men Hang Negro After Jail Abduction Break Cell at Clinton, S.C., and Leave Beaten Body in Churchyard CLINTON, S.C.—Four unidentified white men dragged Morris Bendy, 35, from the small Clinton jail early today and a few hours later his beaten and strangled body was found in a church yard near here. Bendy was placed in the jail, a typical small-town building with no regular jailor, late Tuesday for striking Marvin Lollis, 22, white, Clinton truck driver, and resisting arrest. About midnight, the jail's janitor said, four white men came to the building, knocked the lock off with a wrench and forced Bendy into their automobile. They disappeared before an alarm could be spread. A deputy sent to search for the prisoner and his captors, found the body in the old Sardis church yard 7 miles from here, shortly before 1 p.m. It bore marks of a severe beating and around the man's neck was a rope. Inquest into the death was postponed until next week with a view of apprehending the slayers. The governor irritated by the crime of the lynchers, stated, "That's not a lynching but a murder." NEW DRIVE AGAINST SHARE-CROPPERS DADEVILLE, Ala.—(ILD) —In a renewed drive against the share-croppers of Tallapoosa county, gangs under the leadership of the sheriffs of this and of Lee and Marion counties are scouring the country side arresting those under indictment in connection with the defense of the croppers against attack at Reeltown last December. Simmie Simpson and Will Anderson, two of the Reeltown croppers have been arrested and are in jail here now. Other share-croppers, shielded by both white and Negro comrades, have so far escaped arrest. The sheriffs' gangs are spreading terror throughout the country-side in an effort to force the farmers to give up their comrades. Motion for a new trial for the five croppers now serving long prison terms for defending themselves against murderous attacks is now pending, and will probably come up in August according to Irving Schwab, I.L.D. attorney assigned to defend them. Meanwhile, all five are now being tortured in Speigner jail, at Speigner, Ala., notorious for its fifth and brutality, to which they have been transferred. Ralph Metcalfe to Run at Stockholm Next Week NEW YORK.—Ralph Metcalfe, recognized as the fastest human, sailed Thursday with six other athletes for a tour of Europe, which will take them to ten meets in six countries.

Karl (Department of Labor) Phillips, commissioner of conciliation, in whose office Mrs. Georgia Douglas Johnson is, was visited by the Newshawk last week. One hour's conversation with this estimable gentleman is easily equivalent to a week in college. Mrs. Johnson has promised to look over some of my short stories. I think that it was Professor Sterling (H.U.) Brown, who said that I have one of the choicest collections of rejection slips which it has ever been his opportunity to see. Joseph (Commerce) Bryant and Mr. (Agriculture) Terry, during a contract bridge game played at Sparrow's Beach last Saturday (at the Commerce Department picnic), taught a bridge teacher some of the finer points of the game.

I respectfully reprint the preface of Colored Sportorials in last week's issue of the Federal News which is the official organ of the National Federation of Federal Employees, which includes white and colored employees: With this issue, The Federal News presents Alvin (Chick) Webb, well known as the organizer of the Colored Departmental Basketball League, who will conduct the "Colored Sportorial) column in the future. Webb replaces L. J. W. Hayes, who recently left the government service. The Federal News wishes to express its thanks to Mr. Hayes, who originated the column, and wishes him plenty of success in the future.—J. Earle Moser, Sports Editor. Doubtless Mr. Webb, who also edits "Youths Corner" for The Tribune, will fill the bill. Federal News Notes will be discontinued, since no one seems to be reading it, and everyone to whom the authorship is offered refuses to accept it.

Scipio (Smithsonian Institute) Jones, who is president of the Colored Government Baseball League, a licensed minister, and chiropractor; is among other things a fisherman of no mean ability. However, he has no sense of humor. In a recent conversation with the writer he deplored his ignorance of a convenient place to secure worms. The writer in attempting to give assistance asked whether he owned a dog, and receiving an affirmative reply told him that all dogs have worms. Mr. Jones walked away. As said before, he has no sense of humor. James (State Dept.) Jackson, who operates a dancing pavilion at Suburban Gardens, was unable to say whether or not a tennis court is on the grounds.

Beatrice (Welfare) Murphy's "An Open Letter," which appeared in last week's Tribune, is recommended to all race lovers. Although I read everything Miss Murphy writes and consider myself a good friend of hers, we argue every time we meet. I hold that she is too idealistic. Harry (Recorder of Deeds) Jones, who weathered the recent shake-up storm down there, broke into print last week with a too-bad article on important court cases of 1932. Men like Harry Jones, Bob Holley and Charles Hall, of the Census Bureau of the Department of Commerce; Karl Phillips, of the Labor Department; Ambrose Caliver, of the Interior Department; Gihon Conrad, of the Treasury; Lucian Thompson, of the Bureau of Public Parks and Public Buildings; Charles Reeder, of the Department of State, and the like should give themselves a little bit more of publicity so as to give the younger fellows in the service something to look forward to. I find that too many are quite satisfied at being messengers for the Secretary. That seems to be as far as they wish to go. It may not be generally known, but when a colored clerk resigns or dies his place is seldom filled by another colored clerk. I know whereof I speak. The mail room of the Department of Justice is the only place in the Federal Service where three colored clerks have been placed during the past four years, and one of those was by a direct order from the then Attorney General Mitchel. That should not be, but it is. Wiseacres say that Jefferson (Recorder of Deeds) Coage, who is a Republican hold-over and is under probe by the Civil Service Board of Review on complaint of several dismissed employees, will resign on or before August 15. I, personally, don't think so, although it does seem like he was attempting to curry favor with the administration by firing so many known Republicans. We shall see what we shall see. ★★★ Is it true that William T. N. Terrell, who recently retired from government service after 31 years of service, and who is a brother of the late Judge Robert H. Terrell, is particularly partial to chocolate cake? William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor; John Arthur Shaw, president of the American Federation of Government Employees; and John P. Simpson, were selected to confer with the President in connection with the immediate re-employment of all dismissed Federal employees at a meeting of the newly organized Civil Service Reinstatement League, last Saturday, at the American Federation of Labor headquarters, from which the Newshawk was unavoidably absent. John W. Charleston and Frederick Slade, president and secretary-treasurer, respectively, of Lodge No. 20 of the American Federation of Government Employees, and two of my best reporters, were there. At the request of these gentlemen, one of whom has been of invaluable assistance to me in my (thus far) unsuccessful quest for another position, I am reprinting one of the organization's circular letters which is self-explanatory. Here it is: To all Federal Employees: Congress has adjourned. Now, the hosts of Government employees affiliated with the American Federation of Labor will press upon the administration fair interpretations of current legislation, and urge that favorable adjustments be made immediately. Now is the time for all government employees to bury past differences, and get together for mutual protection and self-interest! We must make common cause to regain lost nav and privileges. By separating from the A.F. of L., the leaders of the National Federation of Federal Employees, unquestionably weakened the cause of every government employee. As a matter of fact, it must be mentioned that since the N.F.F.E. abandoned its fellow workers in organized labor, Federal employees have suffered cut cuts, loss of sick, and annual leave, and other privileges, along with the prestige of their former strong organization. It is apparent that these actions on the part of the N.F.F.E. officers have resulted in disaster to their own hopes and plans, and it is also evident that government employees have awakened to the dangers which attend the course of these N.F.F.E. officials. This is best expressed in the following letter, recently written by John P. Simpson, long an active leader in N.F.F.E. affairs, to Henry G. Golda, secretary-treasurer, Federal Employees' Union, No. 2, Washington, D.C.: "I find it necessary to sever my relations with Federal Employees' Union, No. 2, and to submit my resignation as president of the Interstate Commerce Commission Branch, and as a member of the board of representatives. "I signed, in February, 1916, the application for the charter of the organization now known as Federal Employees' Union, No. 2. I saw the organization created by Mr. Gompers, then president of the American Federation of Labor. "I have seen the National Federation of Federal Employees, when assisted by the influence and services of the American Federation of Labor, accomplish most of the aims of its founders. "I have recently seen the national officers turn their backs on their allies of many years' standing, and, through misrepresentation, influence a portion of the membership, located far from Washington, in repudiating alliance with the A.F. of L. "Since this unwise and unwarranted separation, I have seen the Federal employees lose as much as was gained in 15 years' hard work. "Feeling that the National Federation of Federal Employees is, no longer of service to employees of the Federal government, I herewish submit my resignation." This sentiment has spread all over the nation. A few days ago Mr. Bishop, of F.E.U. No. 341, Yakima, Washington, speaking before a mass meeting arranged by Lodge No. 40, American Federation of Government Employees, of Seattle, Washington, declared, "We must have solidarity!" The only recognized body of organized employees affiliated to the A.F. of L. is the American Federation of Government Employees. Every government worker should join, Now! We have everything to gain, and nothing to lose, by sticking together and working in full harmony with the A.F. of L. We urge that due consideration be given these facts and that all government employees unite with us, at once. Yours, for the unity that insures an early return to prosperity to government workers of every class. American Federation of Government Employees. An interesting announcement in connection with Local No. 71, of the National Federation of Federal Employees will be made in this column next week. * * * * Through the intervention of my Congressman, the Civil Service Commission has promised to certify me to any job I may find as elevator conductor, messenger, or clerk. There are two catches: first I must find a vacancy, and second, the chief of the bureau or division must request my services through the commission. Although these obstacles seem insurmountable during these days of indefinite furloughs, separations, and dismissals, I am expecting my friends to see me through, since my Congressman has brought me thus far.

WHITE COLONEL IN HOT WATER FOR DISCRIMINATION CHICAGO (ANP)—The fight started by the Chicago branch of the N.A.A.C.P. to remove Col. Edward Haffner and other officers of the 12th Field Artillery because of discrimination against colored citizens who sought to attend pole matches conducted at the 124th Field Artillery Armory recently moved another step nearer a successful issue when the legislative committee that recently quizzed Col. Haffner and Adjt. General Black at a hearing reported its findings to the legislature last week. In their report they found that Haffner knew or stated under oath that he knew little or nothing about the conduct of the affairs of the regiment, that the testimony of the twelve colored witnesses established without doubt that discriminations did take place, that Haffner knew nothing about the rentals of the armory and kept no record of such rentals, and that he, Haffner, was guilty of gross negligence about the conduct of his officers who were proven guilty of discrimination against colored citizens in violation of the criminal code. Haffner was condemned for his failure to produce Lt. Walldron, the custodian, and records and Adjit. General Black was also blamed for his failure to produce them. Ask for Military Inquiry The house resolution calls for a military inquiry into all of the affairs of this military unity. Persons familiar with military affairs state that such an inquiry will or must end in either Haffner's resignation or conviction by virtue of his sworn testimony at the Legislative hearing. Adjutant General Black and Governor Hernor are being urged to take immediate action upon the Legislative recommendations. The committee making these recommendations are Representatives Jenkins, who conducted most of the hearing; Pierce Shannon, who was chairman of the committee; John McSwinney, Mason Sullivan, Joseph Farina, Arthur T Broche, and William J. Gormley. Attorney Irvin Mollison and William Temple, who acted for the Senate committee when its hearing was held, are planning further action growing out of the testimony taken at the last hearing in the form of civil suits and arrests under the civil rights bill. YOUNG MEDIC BLAZES TRAIL AT CLEVELAND CITY HOSPITAL By Ormond A. Forte BY Ormond A. Forte CLEVELAND, O.—They said it couldn't be done! But, in Cleveland, we somehow seem to enjoy the doing of things which folk generally believe can't be done, for instance, our election of three Negro councilmen out of a total of twenty-five councilmen, while playing at the other fellow's new and complex voting game known as proportional representation! Yet this is not going to be a story of things political in Cleveland. It is barely intended to herald the smashing of a rock-ribbed tradition that had to do with one of the city's far-famed institutions. for Dr. Frederick Douglass Stubbs has completed his internship at Cleveland City Hospital and thereby hangs this tale. In all the history of Cleveland, with its boasted civic soul, no Negro student of medicine had ever before crossed the threshold of the City Hospital as an interne. Nonplussed in our efforts to pull down the humbling barrier, by a contract, which hospital authorities pointed out had ben made from from time immemorial with Western Reserve University—giving this school the sole right to name and supply all the internes—we had mutteringly submitted to a definite conquest of all our hopes in that particular direction, until our three councilmen—Leroy N. Bundy, Clayborne George, and Lawrence O. Payne—made up their several minds to go to bat in this City Hospital matter. And just a few days ago history was made when Dr. Stubbs completed his assignment as resident in thoracic surgery at the hospital to go out into practice—the first of a line of Negro internes that henceforth will come of Cleveland's City Hospital. And moreover there is a class of nurses too! Who is this young doctor, Frede Who is this young doctor, Frederick Douglas Stubbs? He is a high school valedictorian from Wilmington, Delaware, where his father, Dr. J. B. Stubbs, a physician, is a member of the board of health. Winning his major educational spurs in 1927 at Dartmouth College, where as a Rufus Choate scholar, he gained his degree in liberal arts and the coveted Phi Beta Kappa Key, young Stubbs repeated at Harvard, graduating from the medical school, cum laude, and wa elected to the honorary medical fraternity Alpha Omega Alpha. PRISONER'S FINGER INJECTED John Thomas, 32. of Casey's Court, Southwest, held at the Fourth Precinct, on a charge of disorderly conduct, was removed to Gallinger Hospital in a patrol wagon and treated for an inflicted little finger of the left hand, injured prior to his arrest. Thomas was detained at the hospital for further observation. ELEVEN Chicago and Chicagoans By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL When I wrote my column last week and stated that I did not expect to see the fair at an early date, I really meant it. But, reader, what would you do if you were confronted with making a decision of staying in the office all alone on a hot Sunday afternoon with the temperature about a hundred in the shade, or going to the fair, within range of the cool breezes from Lake Michigan, and with a stunning young lady who insisted that this was the twentieth century and that I must be her guest? Well, if you had seen the lady in question, I'm sure you would have done what I did—went to the fair. And the lady was none other than Miss Corine Johnson, who, as secretary for J. D. Carr, director of the Century of Progress Office of Information in the South Center Department Store, wrote to me before I left Jackson insisting that I call at their headquarters and feel privileged to make use of anything they had—including the secretary. I guess I didn't call to make use of the secretary soon enough, so she called on me. In another issue of this paper you will probably read her impressions of the visit. It won't do for me to write all of my impressions—not now, anyway. And her boss, J. D. Carr, finally got me down to his headquarters. And what a boom I would say his activities are for the South Center Department Store. You have to walk all over the store to get to the bureau, but I managed to get there and only spent a nickel in doing so—but the temptation was much greater. Arriving at the bureau, however, one is made extremely comfortable and should there not be sufficient attractions in the bureau all one has to do is to look out and around the store and see the beautiful salesgirls working, smiling—and inviting business. I met so many people while at the bureau that I can remember them only by their smiles and their pleasant voices. And Dick Jones himself, the colored manager of the store, was kind enough to personally show me all over the store and explained its origin, purposes, accomplishments, etc. And what a thrill I got walking around with him while he was being besieged with requests from employees of every description, and customers seeking his O.K. to get checks cashed, and transfers made, and other services quite impressive, sufficiently so for many columns of story matter—at the proper time. Can you imagine writing to a young lady once every week and not knowing what she looked like? Well, that was my experience with Miss Olive Myrl Diggs, of the Chicago Sunday Bee. I dropped in the other morning to see what my correspondent looked like. And what a shock I got! Imagine the general manager being just a young, good-looking girl. After meeting her I offered my services as her office boy. And how I could love that job in that environment. While there I secured the life story right from the lips of one of the country's most interesting racial characters—none other than Anthony Overton himself. I have sufficient story material to fill a magazine. I guess, someday, I'll have to publish a magazine of my own so I can have an outlet to write about all the interesting characters I meet. My space is up, but the material I have accumulated for this column will wait. It'll have to. (Continued from page 9) Janie Willis.

THE SHORT LINE SYSTEM Tri-State League Stars to Meet Picked White Nine Tri-Sta NINTH STRAIGHT WIN CHECKED UP BY HILLSDALES Revamped Virginia White Sox Fall Before Tri-State Runner-Up By FLASH ROBESON The Hillsdale Collegians gave the revamped White Sox of Halls Hill, Va., its first defeat since the addition of new material, by the score of 11-6. This victory was the ninth in a row for the 'Dales. Sam Lacy toed the slab for the Collegians, and even though hit very hard, he had enough in reserve to stop the threatening rallies of the Virginia lads. Fast fielding on the part of Gray on first, White at second, Haywood in right field, and Jones in center aided him greatly on several occasions when the Sox became dangerous. Geechie Williams and Runt White led the 'Dales at bat. Les Lewis, Clarke and Shepherd each got three hits, one of Shepherd's being a homer. Clarke, Shepherd and Bailey, who replaced Smut Brown in right field, were the fielding stars for the Sox. Shepherd's lightning-like throws saved the Sox from a larger score being made on them. Speed Johnson hit one of A. Lewis's offerings for a homer, while Runt White's two safeties were doubles, Soup Turner and Geechee Williams each got a double. Willowtree Nine Wins Twin Bill from Tigers The Willowtree nine downed the Coleville, Md., Tigers in a twin bill, Sunday, on the latters' diamond by the scores of 4 to 1 and 8 to 5. The first game was well played. Young held the Tigers to one lone hit. The Trees will meet the Aztecs this Sunday in a doubleheader at Seaton Park. The first game is scheduled to start at 1:30 p.m. For games with the Trees write John Johnson, 214 D Street, Northwest.

Officer Jack O'Connell, formerly of the White House Patrol, made a whale of a talk before the safety patrol at Payne, last Friday. The tennis tournament at the Howard Playground gets off on its first leg Friday. The large number of entries forecast many close contests. Alexandria and Rockville are angling for contests with the district playgrounds in tennis and baseball. A church baseball league is in the making at Banneker Center. NEXT WEEK SAMMY LEE Says Combine WING WONG Says Don't Miss WATCH THESE! 681 459 022 365 173 937 565 230 289 149 275 484 THE SPIKED SHOE By THE OBSERVER The baseball season of 1933 brings to the front several new ball players who are fast approaching stardom. Among those of note are: Jake Dunn, fromer Washington Pilot shortstop; Harry Williams and Snow, third basemen; Lyons and Scott, first basemen; Sam Hughes and T. Hughes, second basemen; Williams and Jones, pitchers. These are among the bevy of talented performers with the Baltimore Sox. Others are Roy Williams and Byrd, with Columbus; Dukes and Hardy, catchers; Benjamin Bankhead and Johnson, outfielders. A small independent league has been formed, composed of Wilmington, Atlantic City, Chesler, Jersey City, and Newark. They play four games weekly, each team having its own park. The old reliable Ben Taylor, erstwhile manager of the Baltimore Black Sox and last year umpire in the East-West League, has returned to baseball to manage an aggregation known as Ben Taylor's Baltimore Black Sox. Ben writes this column that he has under his wing the best young combination he has seen anywhere in years. The Washington Pilots, founded and formed by the late Frank Warfield, did not reassemble this year. The players were sent to various teams throughout the country. Suttles is with Chicago. Matlock is with the Pittsburgh Crawfords, Evans is with the Grays, Hughes is with the Elite Giants of Nashville. Brewer is with the Kansas City Monarchs, McDonald is with the Bolden Philadelphia Stars, O'Bryant and Hampton are with the Houston Black Buffs, Creacey is with Columbus, Dunn, Hayes, Richardson, Johnson, and Aggleton are with the Baltimore Sox. Jess Hubbard pilots the Baltimore Sox; Oscar Charleston pilots the Crawfords; Dave Malarcher pilots the American Giants of Chicago; "Candy Jim" Taylor pilots the Detroit Stars; Stratton pilots the Nashville Elite Giants; and "Dizzy" Dismusks pilots the Columbus Blue Birds, George Scales, Otto Briggs and Dick Lundy head the New York Black Yankees, Bacharach Giants and Philadelphia Stars, respectively. * * * * * Moran, Cuban National Leaguer, was the last third baseman who threw with his left hand. * * * * * Bars, Mesa and Oms formed the greatest all-Cuban outfield in history. Vargas and J. Bell (Cool Papa) are reported to hold the world's record for circling the bases. The time of Archdeacon, one time White Sox outfielder, is said to have been better by one-fifth of a second by both these colored performers. TREASURY AHEAD TREASURY AHEAD When Post Office defeated the Government Printing Office nine in the final game of the first half of the Departmental Baseball League, Treasury moved into undisputed possession of the top place. The winning of the first half assures that team the place of one of the contenders in the championship series to be held at the close of the second circuit. Bill Reid, erstwhile Anacostia A.C. slab star, turned back the Printers with three hits, but was unfortunate enough to have four tallies charged against him, the final score being Post Office 8, G.P.O. 4. The first half standing ended as follows: Team Won Lost Pct.

Glenarden Splits Double Bill With Clifton A.C. Glenarden came out even in a double bill with the Clifton A.C., Sunday, at the former's ball park. The Glenarden nine won the first, 10 to 5, but dropped the second, 9 to 8, in seven innings. On Sunday Glenarden plays Colesville a double header at Colesville. **GLENARDEN** AB H R E Johnson 1b 14 3 3 0 Brown.ss... 4 2 2 0 Brown 1b 14 3 3 0 Ritter.sb... 4 0 0 0 M.Ham.nif 5 1 1 1 0 Rost.rf... 4 0 0 0 Wheeler.ef 4 2 2 0 Diggs.if... 3 0 0 0 R.H.am.nf 5 1 1 1 Fied.ef... 4 0 0 0 Queen.bc 4 1 0 1 Marshall.lb 4 1 1 0 Queen.bc 4 1 0 1 Douglass.bs 4 1 1 0 M.Lenconc. bc 4 1 0 1 A.Mensonp 4 0 0 1 Thomas.p... 4 1 0 0 Sprigls.if 2 0 0 1 W.

Y BOXERS PREPARE FOR DUAL MEET WITH NEW YORK Four Bouts Exhibit Calibre of Local Representatives; Spectator Shines Should the boxing and wrestling bouts at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. continue to prove anywhere near as interesting as the opening matches staged last Friday night in the gymnasium, the success of the new boxing activities is assured. Four exhibition bouts were witnessed by a large crowd. All the events were no-decision affairs. In the first, Ralph Jones, a novice, showed well against Chris Wallace. In the second fray, Kid Perry and Wm. Porter stepped three fast rounds. The third bout was an invitation match in which Samuel McDaniels volunteered from the gallery to box Carlyle Day, ae of the Y aggregation. McDaniels, weighing 132 pounds, conceded over 35 pounds to his opponent, but notwithstanding the handicap he gave Day a neat demonstration to acclaim a great ovation from the gallery. Al Washington and Ray Gamble entertained with three rounds in the final match of the night. McDaniel will represent the Y in the coming New York-Washington dual. The 135th Street Y.M.C.A. of New York City is scheduled to meet the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A. in the local gymnasium, Saturday, July 29, in a dual wrestling and boxing contest. The visitors are heralded as having a smart squad. Five boxing and three wrestling matches will be staged. The following weights will compete: boxing—118, 128, 147, 160 and 175 pounds; wrestling—150, 165, and 175 pounds. The Twelfth Streeters will give a return engagement in the early fall. DePriests Win Forfeit The Rajahs were unable to muster a team to play the DePriest A.C., and the latter team was awarded a forfeit in the Tri-State League. PHAGAN-PURVIS BET ON AGAIN CHICAGO (ANP)—Johnny Phagan, one of Chicago's favorite young fighters, was awarded a disputed decision over Jackie Purvis, white, Wednesday. Purvis, however, agreed to meet Phagan again July 19, for the fourth time. Notice to Team Managers Managers of sandlot teams are urged to send to The Tribune sport editor their names, addresses and wherever possible, where they can be reached by telephone. Teams from the District and out of town are sending in requests for games with Washington teams. A list of local teams will be sent to these managers who wish contests with District nines. Score sheets for scorekeepers will be available Saturday, and managers are urged to send in reports on these sheets instead of plain paper. Write the Sport Editor, The Washington Tribune, 920 U Street, Northwest, and score sheets will be mailed. State whether you have a home ground, also whether you travel. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, JULY 13, 19.. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune More than a decade has passed since this happened, but to those of us who spend much of our time watching the baseball parade it seems like only day before yesterday. It was in the pre-pennant days of the early twenties, that the Washington entry in the American League opened its season on one of the customary opening days. Enthusiasm was sky-high, and the spirit of good-fellowship pervaded the assemblage of some twenty-five or thirty thousand persons present. Every man in the traditional spotlessly white uniform with the black woven "W" was a hero to that howling mob—except one. Frank "Turkey" Brower was that luckless one. In the fall of the preceding year, the aspirant for the locals' right field post had been chosen by Joe Judge for his All Star nine, composed of major and minor league players for a series against the Baltimore Black Sox, star colored aggregation from the Monumental City. The series had progressed smoothly until the final of the three contests. Then with the score in game one-all and the Negro lads on top in the last engagement, Brower gave vent to the animosity (doubtlessly aroused by this new and strange type of competition) he had so cleverly kept concealed. A close play at first base, called against him by the colored John F. N. Wilkinson—of the mixed umpiring team—was the excuse for the outbreak: Brower ran up to Wilkinson, collared him, and, just before the pair were separated, gave the umpire a rough push in the face. He couldn't tell. A squad of police from the Eighth Precinct escorted him through the throng of angry fans who loitered around the park exit after the game. This was not forgotten by the denizens of the right field pavilion despite the fact that the six-months off-season from October to April had elapsed between the time of his act and his next appearance on the local field. Followers of professional baseball in the Capital know that this portion of the paid customers at Griffith Stadium is and always has been better than ninety per cent black. It did not take Brower long to realize that the reception tendered him by those whose support and good will right fielders try to cultivate was extremely cold. The popularity of this rookie upstart was diminished. He had himself dimmed the pathway to probable stardom. The influence of the right field stands on the rest of the park is great, and before long Brower, by now just another performer of mediocre ability, was in general disfavor. It was, there, probably a coincidence that ere the end of the season arrived he had been shipped to Toronto of the International League, his one and only major league chance gone. On last Saturday, the Washington baseball team returned to its home park after a triumphant tour of the western half of the circuit. Riding on the crest of the American League baseball wave, the local outfit was greeted by a pennant-mad populace. An advance section of the twenty-seven thousand which were on hand for Saturday's double-header with the Cleveland Indians, saw their proud sons of the diamond as they detrained at Union Station, Tuesday night from New York. Accompanied by the band of the local American Legion Post, the Griffith stalwarts trotted out on the field for battle. At the same time four players emerged from the home dugout and started the walk to the warmup pit, in front of the right field pavilion. They were Bill McAfee and Jack Russell, pitchers, and Moe Berg and Cliff Bolton, catchers. A lusty boo greeted the quartet as it reached its objective. Almost immediately it became obvious that McAfee was the target of the boo-dispensers. Jeers and cat-calls were thrown freely in his direction. Once again, a home player—this time a relief pitcher—whose contact with the right field stands is extremely close, comes into disfavor at the same time that his teammates are enjoying the homage of a worshipping home following. McAfee will be remembered as the Washington player who attacked and knocked down a colored rooter in Cleveland for certain remarks which "got under his skin," while the team was in that city. This Negro, known as "Baltimore," occupies a position in Cleveland similar to that of the well known "Greeasy" of our own rooting section. The latter, as any attendant of local games knows, marches up and down the front of the stand and carries on a continual line of chatter despite the position of the locals in the league race or in that particular game. McAfee, who apparently has not yet learned that there is to be some hostility in the gathering at a baseball game even on his own home ground, and who also must yet be taught that people pay their money for the privilege of pulling for whomsoever they wish, didn't take a particular liking for the colored fan's antics. He waited for the Negro under the stand after the game and took a punch at him. There can be only one of two things that can be blamed for such a reaction on the part of the player—an excess of conceit or a lack of "guts." One of the very first qualities necessary for the proper make-up of an athlete is the ability to "take it." Day after day while on the road, "Babe" Ruth is called upon to make his scheduled appearance before audiences which seem to take delight in handing him the sour note. Years ago the fiery figure of Ty Cobb was welcomed with a chorus of boos wherever it made its presence felt—in Detroit as well as elsewhere. Except on two occasions, when Cobb climbed into the stands after his assailants, these two men (one twenty-one years in the national pastime, the other eighteen years) responded to the jeers by merely a facial sneer or a sarcastic doff of the cap. They were stars and their ability to "take it" helped to make them. McAfee, an unstable and by no means above the average relief pitcher, just a year and a half in the big leagues, has shown he can't "take it." Big Inning in Fifth Gives Aztecs 5 to Victory The Aztecs went on a batting spree in the fifth inning to score five runs which gave the team a 5 to 1 victory over the Oriental Tigers, last week. The game was played in Walker Stadium. Jackson, of the winning nine, was rappe for seven hits, but they were scattered. Three Tiger pitchers failed to stop the big bats of the Aztecs who kept up a regular tattoo in the fifth.

GEORGET'WN LOSES THEN WINS WITH HUNTSVILLE The issue between the fast Huntsville A.C. and Georgetown baseball teams remained unsettled as the pair split the double-header arranged in the hope of deciding the supremacy of one of the other, last Sunday afternoon on the former's home grounds at Pomfret, Md. The Marylanders captured the opening contest by a score of 6-2 but dropped the five-inning nightcap to the tune of 2-0. Bus Frazier, ace of the west-end staff, was nicked for 12 safeties, while his opponent, Robinson was holding the visitors to seven hits. The latter fanned eight. George Ford and Johnnie Randolph led the winners at bat, while the best offensive weapon the Georgetown crew had to offer was in the nature of the bat of LeRoy Coates. Rain stopped the second encounter, but not before Matthews and L. Hawkins had tied up in a pitcher's duel. The 10 hits of the fray were divided equally. **HUNTSVILLE** **AB H R E** B.H.kins.cf 5 1 10 A.Carterb2 4 1 1 Ford2b. 4 1 1 Crump.ss. 4 1 1 S.Hidina. 4 1 1 Hidina.lb. 4 1 A.Hamp.lf 4 1 Nixson.rf 4 1 Robinson.p 4 1 **GEORGETOWN** **AB H R E** B.H.kins.cf 5 1 10 A.Carterb2 4 1 1 Ford2b. 4 1 1 Crump.ss. 4 1 1 S.Hidina. 4 1 1 Hidina.lb. 4 1 A.Hamp.lf 4 1 Nixson.rf 4 1 Robinson.p 4 1 **Totals:** 3712 6 10 **Totals:** 34 7 20 Two-base hits—B.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL NEGRO LAD STOPS LIGHT-HEAVY CHAMP Arizona Schoolboy Outscores Rosenbloom in Non-Title Bout SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.—Maxie Rosenbloom, dapper holder of the world's light-heavyweight boxing title, was handed the surprise of his pugilistic life when an hitherto to unknown Negro lad dealt him a severe trouncing here Monday night. Rosenbloom's crown was not at stake. John Henry Lewis, a 19-year-old Prescott, Arizona, schoolboy, was the champion's swift-punching antagonist. The New Yorker appeared unconcerned most of the fight, swinging into action as though he meant business only when his 19-year-old opponent landed solid successive punches. Rosenbloom said he was pained with a bad toothache. Lewis opened the third round with a vicious right handed blow that sent Rosenbloom back on the ropes. The champion came back and peppered Lewis with stiff jabs to win the round. Rosenbloom was staggered by a right to the jaw in the sixth, but recovered and finished the round without further difficulty. The United Press score sheet gave Lewis six rounds, Rosenbloom two, with two even. Only a slight difference was to be found in the report of the Associated Press, and there were some syndicate writers who gave the colored fighter the upper hand in eight of the ten rounds. LEWIS LEADS IN FIRST ROUND MEDAL PLAY It took young Philip Lewis, a brand new name in the realm of local golf, to lead the qualifiers in the first 18 holes of the 72-hole Medal Play of the Royal Golf Club, being held on the Lincoln Memorial Golf Links. The youthful Lewis turned in a flashy 64 to head, by one stroke, the veteran Edward Jackson, second in a classy field. Lewis's card showed a 30 for the outgoing 9 holes and a 34 for the incoming trip. The scores for the other participants were as follows: James A. Williams, George W. Adams, and Anthony Proctor, tied for third with cards of 66; R. Brooks, 68; Bernard Turner, 69; R. B. Jackson, 71; Joseph Taylor, 72; W. Carter, 72; W. Davis, 72; C. Peterson, 75; A. White, 75; M. Leach, 79; W. E. Booth, 79; B. King, 79; H. Wilson, 79; H. Bethea, 81; W. Wheeler, 82; and T. Edwards, 83. The second 18-hole play will take place Sunday.

Music BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPORT WORLD Trials and Anxiety of a Baseball Coach In the last release I told of the unexpected set-back that Dunbar handed Armstrong after the Orange and Blue had been rated the sure thing. Tech had won twelve games, suffering but one reverse, and that at the hands of Coach Whittaker's Manchester Athletic Club. Prior to the Dunbar victory, Armstrong sent Dunbar home twice on short counts—once, 8 to 5, and again by the one-sided score of 16 to 3, when Cary held the Poets to one hit at Griffith Stadium. The line-up for Tech was: Goodloe, right field; Garrison, second base; Turpin, center field; Henderson, third base; Henry, short stop; Payne, catcher; Gray, left field; Taylor, first base; and Hank Williams, who had triumphed over the friendly enemies four times in two years without a defeat on the hill. A switch was made in the outfield assignments. Gray, who had developed a penchant for letting ordinary singles bound by, go through or hop over him for home runs, was shifted to left, and Turpin, who had shown no feeble tendencies in this respect, was placed in center. This same Gray, who for three years had been lead off and had hit less than the diameter of his shoe string, was dropped to seventh in the batting order. The clean-up position, held by the hard-hitting Wilson until this worthy, staged a volunteer wrestling bout with a pal, took a plunge through a plate glass door and found it necessary to receive 25 stitches in a leg, was given Friday Henderson. This accident occurred on the eve of the first Dunbar-Armstrong game. Coach Jacobs placed on the field Jackson, first base; Thomas, second base; Irving, center field; Brooks, catcher; E. Williams, right field; Walker, third base; Cole, left field, whose hit robbed Cary of a no-hit game at Griffith Stadium; Randolph, short stop; and Clyde Williams, on the mound. Dunbar won the toss and Tech went first at bat. After Goodloe skied to Cole, Garrison scored and Turpin reached second. He made third on a passed ball and made this base as Thomas made a sensational catch a la Eddie Collins in short right. As the second sacker was off balance, Turpin dashed for the plate and made it when he bumped Brooks, causing the catcher to drop the ball. Henry closed the inning when Irving made a running catch of his liner. Henry made a pretty play on Jackson's hard smash and threw him out. Thomas rolled to the pitcher, Irving and Brooks blasted stinging hits to the outfield, but Hank clouted Ed Williams's low liner. Goodloe Injured Without knowing it, Dunbar got a lucky break when Goodloe, by a mad burst of speed and daring head-first slide, stretched a single into a double. The penalty was a nasty gash between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand which collided with Thomas's spikes. Dunbar, held scoreless until the fifth, profited by this incident. C. Williams popped to Henry, but Luther Jackson coaxed a walk and stole second. Thomas raised a short fly to right, on which Goodloe, who was playing rather deep, dashed in, but owing to his injured hand could not hold the ball. Jack scored. Irving bounced to Henry, whose throw forced Thomas, but Tim got the advantage of a very close decision at first on Garrison's relay. Had Goodloe been able to hold that pop of Thomas's, the side may have been retired scoreless. Instead the score was tied. E. Williams ended it with a roller to Tyler at first. It was a great tribute to high school baseball to see these two teams straining every nerve and sinew, conscious of the responsibility developing upon every player in this deciding game. The pitchers were bearing down with an abandon that would have done credit to Walter Johnson and Rube Waddell when these two mighty flingers were at the peak of their ability. In Armstrong's last stand, Tyler led off by striking out for the third time, but Hank Williams swung on a delivery, high and outside, and sent it high and fancy over Ed Williams's crown. It would have been a homer for a faster runner. The Dunbar infield held a "council of war" as they gathered around the diminutive Clyde Williams—the clans of Williams were well represented in this memorable game—three in all bearing the same surname. Whatever was the intent of the conference did not materialize. With the infield drawn in, Goodloe bounced to Thomas who held Hank Williams on third but the throw was low and wide. Hank set sail for the plate as Johnson chased the sphere and made a perfect throw home. The elongated Tech hurler electrified the Armstrong rooters with a marvelous Williams Institute Of Music All Instruments Taught Large Faculty Latest Methods DAY AND NIGHT CLASSES 813 Tea St., N.W. North 8370 Tech's Line-up Goodloe Injured Real Excitement A. E. CATO W. ADAMS baseball and track coach, Arm-strong Technical High School, ten-foot hook slide over the rubber ahead of the throw. The alert Goodloe was off for second with Brooks on the ground well tangled up with Hank. Brooks sprang up and pegged to second, but the throw was wild and went to center and Goodloe reached third. There was excitement a plenty. Brooks was plainly upset. A moment later he had a short passed ball and Goodloe slid safely under Clyde Williams, covering the home base. Garrison's best was a pop to the pitcher and Turpin rolled out to first. Paulin had been sent to warm up as Williams was seemingly winded after his strenuous activities of the inning. "Now, 'to yank or not to yank" was the question. In handling a team the human element cannot be neglected. The Techites were all for Hank, and he "knew" that he was "still strong." Before they went back to their places, I cautioned the boys against "nerves" and admonished Catcher Payne about working the pitcher too fast. Clyde Williams went out, pitcher to first, and soon Jackson had two strikes with no balls. Hank felt that the "ump" had missed a couple on the corners and changed from his curve when the count got three and two. Jack leaned on the fast one for a hard single to center. Things did not look so dangerous because the light hitting Thomas was coming up. Thomas gave Henderson at third an easy chance, but the temperamental third-sacker made a half-hearted try and a full-hearted fumble, putting two on. As Irving came to the bat I was weak from signalling Payne—"Slow Hank down"—as Williams was still working too fast. To this day Hank has never explained why he gave Irving a fast one waist high "right down the alley," and Tim has never cared about whether the explanation was plausible or not. There was a sharp resounding crack and Eddie Henry rushed over toward the middle sack. That was the type of bounder which Eddie had for over a dozen times that season turned into a double killing. Garrison was covering the keystone sack, shouting "This ends it, Eddie." But the ball tore through Henry's hands and kept going. My remark to the person next to me was, "Can you imagine that?" When I looked back on to the field, Gray, who was playing left, was running toward Dunbar—something strange. I had placed Turpin in center to play "safety," so where was he? When I rose, to my amazement I saw "Turp" lying prone on the ground and the ball hit upon against the side of Dunbar in deep left center. Well, what was to be said? When I walked over to congratulate Coach Jacobs, he wondered, "What for?" The screaming and hilarious crowd had swarmed on the field and obstructed the view of Dunbar's capable and genial coach. Irving grinning and stumbling crossed the plate with the run that brought the championship to his school and brought to a close one of the most desperately fought series ever witnessed on a high school diamond. After I had offered what cheer I could to my boys and was on the way from the stadium, an automobile horn blew and I got another surprise. I learned that Tim Irving was the son of Cyril Irving, one of my old friends. The boy was in that car and I shall never forget the delightful ride I took with the proud father and his son, the hero. In his two closing articles that will follow, Mr. Adams will tell of some freak plays taken from a few selected games that Ripley could use, and after discussing his best nine will pick an all-star team from high school performers of the last ten years. ST. CYPRIAN WINS. 15-4 The St, Cyprians nine defeated Occoquan by a score of 15-4. Collins, Saints' ace, held the prison boys to seven scattered hits, while each of hismates had at least one hit.

There is a reason why Firestone Tires have won the 500-mile Indianapolis race for 14 consecutive years, the most gruelling tire test. The reason is the Firestone patented extra process of Gum-Dipping which saturates every fiber and insulates every cord with pure rubber—which gives strength to the cords and prevents friction and heat in the fibers. This year 42 drivers in this race equipped their cars with Firestone Gum-Dipped Tires and not a single driver had any tire trouble.

Mayhaps you recall how Cab was forced to eat in the kitchen of a white cafe in a small South Carolina town while en route to Savannah, Ga., on Sunday morning. He was accompanied by his secretary, a stunning white lass, and no doubt that's why they made him go back to the kitchen. Then came his Southern trip down to Texas, where it is now rumored that the departure of one of Dallas's best-liked society matrons for Chicago was due to the Calloway appeal. The lady in question was a Baltimore girl. Then Cab went to North Carolina, and over at Durham, the newspaper there accused him of going for the Durham girls in a big way—and after all, he didn't play there, because the crowd was so great and the jam so stifling. Then over at Rocky Mount, N.C., when Billy Payne, the piano plunker, went for a Brick College co-ed. What a night! Truly Cab, who is now nearing the late twenties, has had a most adventuresome life rambling hither and thither over the country, and that's where the fun in life comes in. Nevertheless the young ex-drummer from Balty has kept his head, and his contracts have always come first. You have never heard of Cab Calloway being involved in a contract-breaking suit. You never will. Speaking of artists, Clarence Muse, our movie A-1 man, was working in vaudeville in Detroit, Mich., when he got his "break" for Hollywood.

Incidentally, Bert Whitman was once married, but her husband was drowned. Both she and Haynes attended school at Morris Brown College in Atlanta, Ga., when they were the school-going age. That was years ago. An amusing incident took place here some months ago, when Aida Ward was doing her single at the Lincoln. She was singing one of her torch numbers, and just as she reached the high spot in the song, young Master Henderson Gilmer, her son, seated in a box off-stage, sang out in no uncertain tone: "Mamma!" However, it didn't faze Aida, but with a quick toss of her head, and a flash of her eyes, went right on with her song. For the information of John Public, the life of William Edward Ellington—known to you as Duke Ellington—will be transcribed into composite form, to be written by yours truly, and published in the near future. Mr. Ellington, himself, will collaborate in the writing of it. Who rememberes when Duke was a soda-jerker here? Maybe you are tired of this prattie—huh?

EPUBL A LICHTMAN THEATRE ure that Mae West E GIRL IN Case and a Doctor Who Could Handl tive jokes, he was still able to carry his audience with him, when he did his usual A-1 tap dancing to the satisfaction of all concerned. As is known already, Holder is one of the formest exponents of ease and grace in tap-dancing, and is a prime local favorite. With the reliable Gallie de Gaston pinch-hitting on Saturday, Apus Brooks and Sandy Burns, the comedians of the week were finally able to break loose from a jam-up over in nearby Maryland, and reach the Howard in time for the final show on the opening night. The prima-donna-ing was done by Marie Pervall, who was well received, albeit that she has appeared on local bills too many times during the past few months. This, though, did not detract from her work. The Tommy Myles orchestra was its usual smooth self, and although not quite as flashy as it has been on other occasions, none of its hot music went wanting for listeners. From the torrid recesses of Harlem and Philly came that dancing duo of Lindy-hoppers, Jenkins and Jenkins, and they proved to be the dance hit of the show. The chorus was that led by Ethel Welch. OTHER HOUSES Lichtman's Broadway offered "The Scat Singer," a flicker of color, having for its principals, Lucky Millinder (soon to sail for Europe), and his orchestra, Putney Dandridge, the comie pair, Gallie de Gaston and George Williams, Gertrude Short, Bob Hall, Billy Higgins, and Joe Byrd, of the Kentucky Byrds. The flicker was presented with a Harlem background, and was a fast moving characterization of a good stage revue. BROADWAY 1617 7th ST., N.W.

LINCOLN A LICHTMAN THEATRE WASHINGTON'S FOREMOST THEATRE NOW BEING REDECORATED NEW COOLING SYSTEM WILL BE INSTALLED BOOKER-T TO OPEN WITH "SECRETS" WITH LESLIE HOWARD A real Hollywood opening has been planned by the management of the Booker T. Theatre when that palace of amusement re-opens Friday, at 11 a.m. The theatre has been redecorated throughout and a new cooling system installed. Beginning at 8 p.m., hugh lights will be turned on in front of the Booker T. and motion picture cameras will start to grind. Patrons attending the theatre between the hours of 8 and 9 will be photographed, celebrities will be announced as they arrived, by a master of ceremonies. The pictures will be developed and those fortunate enough to be photographed will be seen on the Booker T. screen starting Friday, July 21, in connection with the showing of John Barrymore's "Reunion in Vienna." "Secrets," the feature production selected to re-open the Booker T., is one of the most beautiful pictures that has yet come out of Hollywood. The performance of the principal actors are excellent, especially that of Leslie Howard in the role of the romantic lover. The story begins in Salem, Mass., travels across the continent to California, and back again to Washington, entwining with it the life threads of two people, following their joint careers from youth to old age. Supplementary features on the opening program include a Silly Symphony in colors, a musical short, entitled "Jazz a la Cuba," featuring Vincent Lopez and his orchestra, and a screen snapshots in which the stars of the cinema world are shown at work and at play. Summer prices at the Booker T. admit adults from 11 a.m., until 6 p.m., at 15 cents, and from 6 p.m., until closing, 20 cents. Children at all times are admitted for 10 cents. "HARLEM REVELS" ON STAGE; RICHARD BARTHELMESS AT HOWARD "Harlem Revels," after three weeks run at Harlem Opera House in New York comes to Howard with a reputation of being one of the most entertaining revues of the year. Side-splitting comedy, new songs and many novelities in dancing are the high spots in the show. On the screen is offered Richard Barthelmess in "Heroes for Sale." No doubt this is his best offering for the year. "This picture is of vital importance to everyone," said the Howard manager. He asks "What good are medals on tortured breasts? They won't buy bread and they won't buy love. Out of the chaes, the anguish, the strife and stress of these frantic times comes this heart and soul story of a love that no riches could buy, no suffering could destroy. This is truly acclaimed the most vital picture of 1933, starring Barthelmess and Lorenta Young." Amateur night is Wednesday with four cash prizes. Midnite show Friday. The Lincoln Theatre, U Street, Northwest, between Eleventh and Twelfth Streets, closed Friday night for a short period. The theatre is now being redecorated throughout and a new cooling plant is being installed. The theatre, one of the most beautiful in the South, will take some time to complete because of the intensive work that will be done. Mr. Lichtman stated that the only thing that will not be touched is the cellar. With a new cooling system, this theatre, long the mecca for motion picture fans, will be beautiful when it is reopened. How the fortune-teller of today plies his trade, the shrewd manner in which he employs the latest scientific inventions to convince his awed victims of his "supernatural" powers is vividly et forth, in a picture that teems with drama and comedy, in "The Mind Reader," a First National picture starring Warren Williams, which is soon to be seen at the Raphael Theatre. Constance Cummings has the role of Sylvia, and Allen Jenkins is Chandler's confederate and pal, who shares his good and bad fortunes. Clarence Muse has a prominent part in the picture. Starting as a "barker" in a cheap barn-storming carnival company, Warren/ Williams, in his role of Candler, soon tumbles to the fact that plenty of easy money is to be made as a "seee" and a "psychic." Presently he blossoms out as "Chandra The Great" and the harvest of gold begins to roll in. A simple combination of a telephone outfit with a dictaphone enables him and his confederate to astound the simple-minded country folk who fill his tent nightly, with his amazing "mind-reading" gifts. Soon he finds he needs an assistant to handle his mail, and he engages a charming girl, who believes in his powers, to act as his secretary. Before long they are in love and not until they are married, does she discover the fraud that Chandler really is. When it leads to a woman's suicide, Sylvia gives Chandler the alternative of losing her or giving up his fortune-telling racket and turning his abilities to some legitimate field of endeavor. Chandler loves her enough to make an attempt to "go straight," but ill luck, poverty and the lure of the old life are too much for him. Eventually he goes back to the old crystal gazing game on a bigger and more lucrative scale than ever—this time without letting her know what he is really doing. Manager Charles Burton had Barbara Stanwey, starring in "Baby Face," at his Raphael Theatre on Ninth Street. He still continues his policy of first rate pictures for his patrons.

MARTIN Well, the name, Mills Musical Playboys, has been changed back to the Mills Blue Rhythm Band. With the return of its name, the band's original radio signature, "Star Dust," is again to be heard over the N.B.C. network with "Delta Bound," its newer signature out. Eddie Mallory will continue to lead. What's in a name anyway? Although the original European booking was for four, weeks only, Duke Ellington and his famous orchestra created so much enthusiasm in England and on the continent that Irving Mills, his manager, was swamped with offers for additional engagements. Mr. Mills has accepted booking for another month abroad. It includes the week of July 10 at the Palladium theatre in London, where Ellington and his musicians appeared for two consecutive weeks at the beginning of their foreign engagement. This will be followed by four days of concerts in Holland, and the weeks of July 21 and July 28 at the Rex Theatre in Paris. Mr. Mills plans to sail for New York with the orchestra on the Majestic, leaving France on August 5. Tentative bookings have been made in Europe for Cab Calloway and his Cotton Club Orchestra, the Mills Blue Rhythm Boys and other Mills attractions, just as soon as their schedules in this country can be arranged to permit them to go abroad. Highest salary ever paid by the British Broadcasting Company to an orchestra was drawn by Duke Ellington and his band for a forty-five minute broadcast from London. ...Ethel Waters sang two songs written by members of the Blue Rhythm Band over Wednesday night's (July 5) WJZ broadcast from the Cotton Club. They were "Delta Bound" by Eddie Mallory, the band's leader, and "Out of a Dream" by Edgar Hayes, featured pianist of the Blue Rhythm Band. Jack Mills has purchased the entire score of "Shady Lady," new opus starring Helen Kane, for publication by Mills Music, Inc. Cab Calloway, who has been touring for two months, grew lonesome for his pet Chow dog, "Smoky Joe." He sent to New York to have the pooch join him in Cincinnati, where his highness of hi-de-ho begins an eight-day engagement at Castle Farms on Saturday....The cream of British society went wild over Duke Ellington when he played for the annual Punch's Club ball at the exclusive May Fair hotel in London....Sheila Barrett opened at Loew's State theatre on Broadway, New York, on Friday, July 7....Broadcasting hour of the Mills Blue Rhythm Band has been changed from 2 a.m. to 12:15 a.m. over WMCA on all nights of the week except Tuesdays and Thursdays....For the second time on his current tour, Cab Calloway grossed twenty grand in a theatre, a nifty figure even in normal times. This one piled up at the Mainstreet in Kansas City....During Duke Ellington's recent broadcast in London, B.B.C. officials inspected the program and found "Mood Indigo" included only as a closing fadeout signature. They extended the period five minutes, cutting into the next program, to permit him to play it in its entirety. A plea to radio listeners to keep their radios in low gear during these sweltering days, when windows are wide open, so they won't become a nuisance to neighbors, was made recently by Federal Radio Commissioner Harold A. Laount. The Mills Brothers will return to the scene of renewed activity for the first time since John, of the deep bass voice, suffered an attack of pneumonia in the spring, when they appear with Don Redmon's band at Metropolitan Theatre in Brooklyn during the last week of this month. Continuing on Loew's circuit they will appear in a weekly engagement in Washington. They will return to radio in the fall. Kingma 23rd Street and New Home FIFTH ANN 1200 TO 1500 Ethel Waters, America's premiere blues 'singer, will be starred in the forthcoming Irving Berlin-Mess Hart, musical extravaganza, "As Thousands Cheer!" Berlin himself asked for Miss Waters to sing some of his new music. Others in the cast so far selected are Marilyn Miller and Clifton Webb. The all-colored hour, a radio program that is broadcast over WSBC, Chicago, still has at its mike Jack Cooper, Chicago's only colored radio announcer. The program that is put on every Sunday evening has a lovely studio in the Metropolitan Funeral Parlors' building. Jack has had this job for a long period, and is ably assisted by his wife, Mrs. Billie Cooper. JOHN HENRY TO RETURN TO TWICE-MONTHLY SCHEDULE "John Henry — Black River Giant," the fifteen-minute dramatic program based on the legend of the Mississippi strong man as interpreted by Roark Bradford in his book, "John Henry," will return to its original schedule of two episodes a night on Sunday, July 16. The program has been broadcast for several months past on Sundays and Thursdays at 9:15 p.m. The new schedule will bring one episode to the air at 6:30 p.m., and the second at 7:15 p.m., every Sunday, with the half-hour Chicago Variety program in between. The Thursday night broadcasts will be discontinued. The scripts are written by Juan Hernandez, who plays the title role, and Geraldine Garrick, who directs the cast. The legends were first brought to the air by Robert Wachsman, radio producer. President Roosevelt will be the chief speaker on a program directed to the men in the Citizens Conservation Corps to be heard on the Columbia Broadcasting System on Monday, July 17, from 10:30 to 11 p.m., Eastern Standard Time. The broadcast will originate in the White House. The Wiley College Male Quartet has been invited to sing at the World Service Commission, Evanson, Illinois, and at the Hall of Religions, World's Fair. The quartet will make two appearances before the World Service Commission. The group includes Lonny Jackson, first tenor; Edward Groner, second tenor; Lace Anderson, harbiter; and Daniel Runnells, bass. Rufus Anderson, of Beaumont, is pianist. They are students in the college and trained in its department of music under a graduate of the Chicago Musical College whose students are known in New York and in European countries. The ensemble Cotton Club Show, starring Night Waters and George Dewey Washington, and featuring Mills' Blue Rhythm Band, will be the attraction on the stage of Loew's State Theatre, Broadway and 45th Street, for a week starting Friday, July 21. This is the show which has been attracting thousands to the smart rendezvous in Harlem for the sophisticates on the nation at $2.50 cover charge, and started the song "Stormy Weather" on its terrific popular pace over the entire country. Known as "The Cotton Club on Parade," the show staged by Dan Healy with bokk and lyrics by Ted Koehler and Harold Arlen, Loew's State Theatreauditors will witness specialties by "Hamtree" Harrington and Dusty Fletcher; the Four Flash Devils, the Nicholas Brothers, Henry (Rubberlegs) Williams, Cora La Red, Josie Oliver, Elida Webb, The Talbert Choir, Sally Goodings, and the entire cast of the Cotton Club.

The band boasts no less than seven composers whose numbers have been published, and four arrangers whose arrangements have been heard from coast to coast.

Local Cab Company Grants No Moratorium to Driver SIXTEEN CAB TAKEN AFTER DRIVER HAS PAID SUM OF $1,079 Corporation Counsel Begins Investigation of Rental System After paying $1,079.55 for his cab, Clarence M. Lucas, a driver of a General Cab, a subsidiary of the City Cab Company, white, had his automobile "snatched" this week. Lucas, who is a world war veteran, reported the matter to William A. Roberts, special assistant corporation counsel, and an investigation was under way this Tuesday. Paid Over $1,000 According to Lucas, he had contracted June 24, last year, to buy the cab. His payments were to run for one year. According to statements made to Roberts's office, he kept up his payments to within several days of the end of the year, but then found he had not sufficient receipts. The company then took the car, although Lucas had receipts for daily payments on the car totaling more than $1,000, Roberts said. District officials said the machine would have a normal value of about $700. Lucas would have been able, he claimed, to have paid in full for the cab except that he was confined to Walter Reed Hospital for about seven days last winter. **One of Many Such Cases** The case is one of a large number of instances revealing the lack of control over the District taxicab system and the injustices from it, Roberts said. After Roberts had advised Corporation Counsel Bride about the case, it was announced they would urge upon Congress next January the adoption of a new conditional sales law for the District, under which a car purchaser cannot be deprived of his equity in a machine he contracts to buy on time payments. Capital News Service Robert Lee Vann, Pittsburgh publisher and one of the Negro leaders who led the fight for the election of President Roosevelt, was last Friday (not Thursday as reported), sworn in as Special Assistant to the Attorney General of the United States in the Department of Justice Building here. Vann's appointment marks the first of several Negro appointments said to be slated by the new administration. Vann is the first Negro to hold such an office under a Democratic administration. There have been Republican appointees of equal and higher rank however. William H. Lewis, of Boston, held the position of Assistant Attorney General under Attorney General George Wickersham; and Perry W. Howard was Special Assistant to the Attorney General under the Coolidge administration. The new appointee was accompanied to the Attorney General's office for the ceremony of taking oath of office, by Joseph R. Guffey, Democratic leader in Pennsylvania. The oath was given by Huge J. A. Carusi, secretary to Attorney General Homer S. Cummings in the presence of First Assistant Attorney General William Stanley. Attorney General Cummings was not present at the ceremony but appeared shortly after to congratulate his new assistant. Doubt was expressed as to the assignment which will be given Mr. Vann. The appointee said that he did not know where he would be assigned, but said that he did not expect to move his family to Washington. It is believed that he will spend most of his time away from Washington, probably around the Western part of his own State. Among the large group of friends of the new appointee who witnessed the swearing in, and felicitated him at its conclusion, were George W. Coles, Sr., and Mrs. Coles, of Pittsburgh; Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio; D. O. Williston, Louis R. Mellinger, Robert A. Pelham, Mrs. Eunice Scott, Manuel Roque and Mrs. Vann. Attempts to End Life by Drinking Iodine While standing in Cedar Court Northwest, Rozier Brown, 19, of 1319 S. Street, Northwest, attempted to commit suicide by drinking iodine, according to police records of the Second Precinct. Brown was taken to Freedmen's Hospital by Cornelius Given of 1804 Valley Street, where he was treated by Dr. James Henry. As his condition was aparently not serious, the youth was later permitted to go home. No reason was assigned for the act. MAY CARRY LOGAN CIRCLE CASE TO SUPREME COURT MAY CARRY LOGAN CIRCLE CASE TO SUPREME COURT Defense Attorneys Begin Fight to Save Boys from Chair A fight to save the lives of the three Logan Circle boys, sentenced to die August 21, for the slaying of Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy, started here this week with the filing of a petition by Chief Council John H. Wilson for a rehearing and a stay of mandate. The petition which was filed in the Court of Appeals asks for the stay of mandate pending an application to the United States Supreme Court if the court refuses a rehearing or reversal. Bernard Ades and Samuel Levin, International Labor Defense attorneys, were in the city last week and conferred with Attorney Wilson. The three youths, Joseph James Jackson, Irvin Murray and Ralph Edward Holmes, were convicted of killing the policeman in August, 1932, when the officer arrested one of a number of youths in Logan Circle. Man Freed on Bond, Arrested Second Time Bad luck followed Victor L. Quander, 37, of 1803 Second Street, Northwest, Friday, who lost two automobiles when arrested twice within an hour while transporting liquor and was then ordered to pay $1,000 or serve sixty days in jail, the following day. Quander was arrested at Tenth and O Streets, Northwest, the first time, when five gallons of liquor were found in his car. At the Second Precinct, he was charged with transportation, possession, driving on dead tags, and having no registration card. His automobile was seized, but Quander was released under $500 bond. New Charges Made He was arrested an hour after his release by members of the vice squad in the 2200 block of H Street, Northwest. The car he was using was also seized, and Quander was charged with transporting and possessing 100 quarts of liquor, speeding, and passing a stop sign. The sentence in Police Court was for the charges growing out of both arrests. Prospective Appointee Looks After His Fences Capital News Service Capital News Service Lieut. Lawrence A. Oxley of Raleigh, N. C., director of the division of Negro Welfare and Federal Relief in North Carolina, came to the Capital last week and gave some attention to his quest for an appointment to a key position in the Department of Labor. He has the united support of his State forces for the position now held by Karl Phillips and while here he saw to it that the fences he has built around his prospects were not down at any point. Peacemaker Slashed Trying to Stop Broil George K. Hood, 25 of 330 I Street, Southeast, learned a lesson, Sunday, and that lesson was not to intercede as peacemaker in a brawl between man and woman. Hood observed an unknown man and an unknown woman fighting at the corner of Fourth and I Streets, Southeast. He went over and attempted to play the role of a peacemaker. The result was Hood was slashed on the left hand, left ankle, and across the stomach with a sharp instrument. The fighting was broken up, but Hood had to seek treatment at Providence Hospital. He gave police of the Fourth Precinct a description of his assailant. BEATEN IN FIGHT In an altercation, Taylor Williams, 45, of 1102 Fourth Street, Southeast, was struck over the left eye with a blunt instrument by Ignatius Adams, 40, of the same address, last week. Williams was treated for the wound, found to be slight, at Providence Hospital, and told officers of the Fourth Precinct that he would prosecute his assailant.

NEWS BRIEFS ON Friday, July 7th, we made an announcement of far-reaching importance to anyone who drives a car. For nothing could be more important than an announcement which brings AMOCO-GAS--the original special motor fuel--and the finest fuel in the world--within reach of all. For almost two decades millions of gallons per year of AMOCO-GAS have been sold at a 5% premium. AMOCO-GAS cost more to make; it does more; it is worth more. BUT...we want more AMOCO-GAS users in addition to the many, many present devoted ones. Changed economic factors in industry, combined with the advantages resulting from our recent big expansion program, make it possible: ...to REDUCE the premium on AMOCO-GAS by 2¢ a gallon!* AMOCO'S DRIVE FOR NEW USERS Vera Washington, 7, of 2815 Georgia Avenue. Northwest, was bitten on the left leg by a dog, Friday, and John Bell, 27, of 1236 Girard Street. Northwest received a wound on the right ankle in the same monster.

TOTS, 2p HURT IN FALL In a fall, at his home, Calvin Clark, 2, of 448 O Street, Northwest, wounded his lower lip, Saturday, two-year-old Dolores Armstrong, of 1331 Tenth Street, Northwest, also suffered a wound to her lower lip from a tooth, in a fall on the same day. And that means bringing the finest within reach of all. There is nothing else like AMOCO-GAS. It has often been imitated--never equalled. It is in a class by itself--the aristocrat of motor fuels. AMOCO-GAS furnishes a luxury in riding that is a real delight--a freedom from repair worries that is amazing--an extended life and use of motors that is surprising--and an economy of operation that means you pay nothing for its many extra advantages. Present users know AMOCO-GAS always was the greatest value--and know it is now greater value than ever before. To all others we say, "Use AMOCO-GAS and you'll agree we have brought the finest within reach of all. So why use anything else?" Becoming suddenly ill at his home early Friday morning, James Wise, 6, of 1416 First Street, Southwest, was immediately rushed to Casualty Hospital for treatment.
