Former Sweetie of Slain Youth Says White Girl Was Jealous
Became More Infatuated When She Learned that Alfred Fletcher Was Colored and Had Quit Her to Go With Member of His Own Race
By GARLAND MACKEY
A former sweetheart of Alfred Fletcher told the Tritune this week why the slain youth took up with Frances Catherine Allen, 29-year-old white woman.
The ex-sweetie of Fletcher is now married and does not wish her name used in connection with the sensational slaying of the youth by the infatuated white woman who swore she loved Fletcher regardless of his color or race. For convenience, the former sweetheart will be called Mrs. Smith (which is not her name).
"Frances became madly in love with him. She learned several months ago that he was colored as all of us told her he was a Negro. She met his mother and friends. The two attended colored parties and went to colored theatres together.
"Knowing that he was colored only served to make her more in love with him, as she wrote telling him that she did not care about his color, all she wanted was him for herself and if she could not have him no one else should.
White Girl Jealous
Was Friend of Dead Youth
Mrs. Smith came to see me Friday. She was quite upset as the daily papers sought to make the affair appear as if Fletcher had been orcing his attentions on the white woman when it was exactly the reverse.
"At one time, some three years ago, Alfred and I were very good friends," said Mrs. Smith, who although fair, is decidedly colored. "Alfred wanted to marry me, but I wasn't ready. Finally our relations came to and end. That was over three years ago. Then I became engaged to Mr. Smith and we were married.
Through With Women
"After my wedding Alfred told me that he was through with women and would never take another one seriously. He seemed to be much upset over my marriage. Shortly after that he took up with questionable women. From personal knowledge I know he met Frances on the street.

John Waters Charged With Shooting Revolver in His Home
John Waters, 3019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, was arrested Sunday night by policemen of the Tenth Precinct Station following a report by a neighbor that a revolver had been fired in the home of Waters.
Mrs. Irene Waters, was also arrested. Both were released after posting bond. On searching the home of the Waterses, police-men found him in bed with an automatic revolver by his side. Two shots had been fired, according to officers who investigated the shooting.
Said to be Wealthy
Waters is said to be wealthy and lives in one of the most prestigious homes on Thirteenth Street. He gained considerable publicity last year when he deposited $18,000 in cash in the Prudential bank when that institution was suffering a run on it by depositors. The large deposit helped to stem the tide of the run, and resulted in the bank weathering the storm.
Armond W. Scott, attorney, was retained by Waters, but the case did not come up in police court Monday morning. The case is still being investigated by police. No one was injured by the bullets, officers said.

JUPITER IS INDICTED AND LYNCH MOB GOES FREE
Charles County Jurymen Refuse to Name Rioters
LA PLATA, Md.—The Charles County grand jury, whithe was convened in special session here Monday to consider the case of Page Jupiter, 42-year-old farm hand, who is alleged to have slain Mrs. Evelyn Reifschneider, a white woman, with an axe on July 9, brought in an indictment of first degree murder.
Jupiter is said to have confessed murdering the woman. In his charge to the jury Judge W. Mitchell Digges pointed out that the man might be indicted for a statutory offense as well as for murder
Referring to the attempted lynching, Judge Digges charged the jurors to "thoroughly investigate" that affair and return indictments if sufficient evidence were produced. He declared the members of the mob who stormed the jail in search of Jupiter were guilty of unlawful assemblage.
In this matter the jury failed to issue any indictments.
Jupiter in Baltimore
As the jury met, Jupiter was in jail in Baltimore, whence he was taken last week for safekeeping. It will not be necessary for him to be returned here during the session of the grand jury.
He will probably be brought here under heavy guard during the July term of court to be arraigned. If he does not have a lawyer by that time defense counsel will be assigned by the court, Jupiter will then be tried in November.
The jury summoned here for special session Monday served during the May term of Circuit Court. The next regular session of the grand jury is not scheduled until November.
Bernard Ades, attorney for the International Labor Defense in Baltimore, has undertaken to obtain for a newspaper man of that city the right to visit and interview Jupiter in the Baltimore jail. He has obtained from Judge Charles F. Stein, of the Baltimore City court, a writ of habeas corpus to that end, and a hearing will be held on the writ Friday morning at 9 o'clock.
Asks Tribune Aid in Locating Missing Woman
Mrs. Puritan M. Jones, of Tappahannan, Va, asked the Tribune early this week to aid her in the locating of Lizzie Kennedy who has been missing from that little town for four years. The Kennedy woman's local address was said to have been 2102 Seventh Street, Northwest, but investigation proved she doesn't live there any more.
Mrs. Jones states that the woman left her home in Tappanhock four years ago without taking valuable furniture. Pest efforts to locate her have been futile. Anyone able to furnish any information concerning the whereabouts of the woman will kindly call or write the Tribune. She can be identified by a picture now in possession of the Tribune.

WHITE GIRL LOVED DEAD YOUTH
WHITE GIRL LOVED DEAD YOUTH
Says She Planned Suicide and Fletcher Died in Struggle for Pistol VICTIM TRIED TO QUIT GIRL, WITNESSES SAY
Three attorneys and a coroner's jury pried into the semi-secret inter-racial love affair of Frances Catherine Allen, 29, white, of 1229 Twelfth Street, Northwest, who was arrested when police found her sitting in a damp shade hat dying lover, Alfred Fletcher, 24, of 1607 T Street, Northwest, at the inquest, Monday, while scores of morbid colored and white spectators, unable to gain entrance to the morgue, milled around the little frame structure.
Miss Allen testified that she had planned to kill herself on the night of the tragedy, Friday, and that Fletcher was fatally shot as they struggled in an auto over the revolver which she carried.
Before the coroner's jury held the woman for the action of the grand jury, it heard testimony from three other witnesses to the effect that Fletcher had been seeking to avoid the white woman, but she kept seeking his company. According to testimony, Miss Allen met Fletcher about a year ago on Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, having been introduced to him by a white girl friend shortly after her arrival from Binghamton, N.Y., her native home. They became fast friends, Fletcher visiting her almost nightly.
Arrest Causes Query
Their love affair ran along smoothly, according to the woman's statement and her testimony, until May 2), when Fletcher was booked on a minor charge at the Second Precinct. When she went to arrange a lateral for Alfred and his brother, William, also booked, Patrolman Creele asked whether she was colored. He is said to have told her that the two men had colored blood.
Miss Allen discounted the statement of the officer, claiming to him that the two men were her cousins and were from Providence, R.I.
Race Was Known
Positive denial that Miss Allen did n't know Fletcher was colored was made by: William Fletcher, a half brother; John Dav, an uncle, of 1332 Tenth Street, Northwest; Elizabeth Ball, a cousin, of 1443 T Street, Northwest, and Carrie Price, a friend, of 5504 Foote Street, Northeast.
Both Miss Price and Miss Ball declared that upon one occasion the white woman came to the home of the latter on July 4, in search of Fletcher and remarked during conversation. "If he would marry me that would be all I want. If he doesn't marry me, something serious will happen and there'll be no one left to tell the tale."
Miss Price, about whose race there is no question, told the coroner's jury that she visited the white woman during a period of illness, upon request of Fletcher.
"She asked me if Alfred was colored," Miss Price stated, "I told her if she didn't believe me, to go and see his mother."
Miss Allen did go to see his mother but she wasn't in at the time.
Color me Bar .
Miss Ball testified she was lying down in a middle room when the white woman came to her house on July 4. in search of her lover, and talked with Miss Ball. (Continued on page 2)

Plan to Get Back Jobs
Mr, Simpson told the, audience
what steps had been taken by his
organization to secure employment
‘of the workers who had been dis-
missed. Speaking of the confer-
‘ence held with President Roosevelt
last week, he announced two im-
portant accomplishments — which
had resulted from that meeting.
First, he said, the President had
issued ‘an, executive order to the
heads of all new departments that
employces dismissed. under the
economy program must be given
preference in employment in the
newly created bureaus. Uy
A list -is to created by the Civil
Service Commission from which
employees in the new offices will
be taken. On this list will be the
namies of persons dismissed _be-
cause of the employment of a hus-
hand “or rate, in the, iovernment

Whose efficiency rating are fair,
‘The President's executive order
makes it mandatory that all fu-
}ture employment by the govern.
ment be made from this list.
Relief for Low Efficiency Group,
‘The speaker also outlined ac-
complishments in aid of those who
had been given a low efficiency
rating. ‘There has been constitut-
éd a Civil Service Board of Ap-
peals to wheh all persons contest-
ing their efficiency rating will have
recourse. A reversal by the board
of appeals of the ficiency rating
given, will mean reinstatement for
the person thus discriminated a
gainst.
He pointed out that the pro:
cedure to be followed in such cases
was to prepare a complete state-
ment of the case and present i
tothe board of appeals in the de
partnient where the low efficiency
rating Was given. Should there be
no favorable result there, the in
Jured employee would then have
recourse to appeal before the boare
of appeals set up by the Civil Ser.

Miss Allen js also said to have
remarked ‘on this occasion that if

‘Tried to Break Away
Prior to the testimony of the

HUNDREDS OF WORKERS
RETURN TO WORK
AS STRIKE ENDS
CHICAGO (ANP)—One _ thou-
sand five hundred girls and women
who went on strike two weeks ago
at B, Sopkins and Sons Apron Fac-
tory returned to work last week.
At a conference, Saturday, be-
tween the workers, civic leaders
and officials of the factory an
agreeable settlement was reached.
It is alleged that communistic
agitation among the girls caused
the strike which paralyzed the five
Sopkin factories. For two weeks
hundreds milled about the plants
as, girl pickets patrolled the area.
The girls accused the Sopkins of-
ficials of not paying them a decent
living wage. They produced time
cards to show that they were re-
ceiving less than five dollars a
week. The Sopkins people denied
the charges and said the girls lim-
ited their own salaries, They manu-
factare aprons by piece work.
When the strike was at fever
heat, Congressman. Osear DePriest,
Alderman Robert Jackson, William
Dawson, and the Rev. J. C. Austin
sought to effect a reconciliation be-
tween the strikers and the com-
pany officials to no avail.
The crippling of the industry, the
long period of unemployment’ for
the girls, and the intervention of
civic leaders taxed the patience of
the dissatistied groups.
Finally Raised Pay
At the parley held this week B.
Sopkins agreedio raise the pay of
the girls 17% per cent, They are
to work eight and a half hours a
day with a half hour for lunch, to-
talling 47 hours work for the week
‘This scale is to remain jn force un-
til the recent legislation by the

scale of pay and hous of work for

girls were also effected. ‘They wil

health of the employees. .Sopkins
will also provide rest rooms for the

DEMOCRATS MEET TO PERFECT STATE CONTROL PLAN
National Organization Establishes Headquarters on D Street
District and state leaders of the Democratic party met here Wednesday and perfected plans for a proposed setup in practically every state with headquarters in Washington.
The National Democratic Voters' League, of which Armond W Scott is president, seeks to build a powerful machine throughout the states with a central and controlling office here.
Mack D. Rowe, national organizer, will leave Washington at an early date for a tour of the principal cities of the South. The plan is to set up an organization composed of local men and women in each city. This group will have control over its particular field but will be directed from the national headquarters.
Those present at last week's meeting were John H. Clinton, of Texas; James H. W. Howard, Alexander H. Underdown, Maryland, treasurer; Mrs. Catherine Hart, Edward C. Taylor, Kentucky, secretary; Mack D. Rowe, Armond W. Scott; Howard was made chairman of the executive committee.

Fred Garner, Arizona; E. V. Crane, California; E. L. Bramwell Connecticut; Dr. Lewis Taylor, Delaware; Arthur R. Barber, Idaho; Adam E. Patterson, Illinois; Thomas Smith, Maryland; John Lewis, Minnesota; Dr. M. L. Perry, North Carolina; Dr. I. N. Young Oklahoma; W. Justin Carter, Jr. Pennsylvania; A. Payton Cannell Rhode Island; William Grennwall Utah; N. N. Thomas, Virginia; R. L. Ryan, Washington; E. L. Powell West Virginia.
Women's Division
Dr. Ora M. Fisher, of Indiana, is chairman of the women's division. Others on her committee are Mrs. E, D. Baker, Missouri; Mrs. Bernice Clark, New Jersey; Mrs. Minnie Kennedy, Minnesota; Mrs. Harriet Smith, Connecticut; Mrs. Mable Worthy, Massachusetts; Mrs. Ethel M. Williams, Maryland; Mrs. Pearl C.

Attorney Scott, who has been prominent in Democratic politics for many years, is slated for the judgeship of the Municipal Court to succeed Judge James A. Cobb, who was appointed under a Republican administration. Judge Cobb's term ends next July.
White Veteran Seeking Brownskin Love, Robbed
Jacob Barnett, white, of the Soldiers' Home, who accepted the suggestion of a colored man he met to go to see a girl, lost either $85 or $4.20; for his eagerness, early Wednesday morning. Barnett told officers of the Fourth Precinct he met an unknown dark man under the influence of liquor at Four and Onehalf Street and Maryland Avenue, Southwest. The man asked whether or not he wanted a girl, to which proposition Barnett was agreeable. The two proceeded up an alley near Maryland Avenue and C Streets. Safely out of sight, the supposed panderer held up Barnett. The latter told officers that he was robbed of $85. The proprietor of the store where Barnett called police said Barnett told him he had $4.80 taken from him. Despite the disparity of the reports, police are searching for the footpad.
College of Pharmacy at Howard Has Added Facilities
Vice Dean Charles J. Führman, of the College of Pharmacy, Howard University, reports that a larger number of requests than formerly is reaching his office for information regarding the four-year course in pharmacy now being offered. Beginning with the year 1932-33, another year was added to the course so as to meet the requirements of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy and the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.
The physical equipment has been greatly improved during the past year; newly equipped pharmacy, pharmaceutical chemistry, research and preparation laboratories, with store rooms and offices, have been installed, and many new instruments of precision have been added. The college is now better equipped and prepared to give instruction in the four-year course leading to the degree of B.S. in pharmacy, than in former years.

BALTIMORE, Md. — (CNS) — Armed with an order from Judge Diggs of the Charles County Court, Attorneys Charles H. Houston and E. P. Lovett, of Washington were admitted to talk with Page Jupiter, 40-year-old colored man of La Plata, Md. who is held on a charge of slaying with an ax a white farm woman of La Plata. The lawyers were at first refused permission to visit the man by his Baltimore jailers. Jupiter, whom a mob of over fifty whites, attempted to lynch last week has been taken to Baltimore for safe keeping. After the mob scare, he was taken back to La Plata for a hurried arraignment and then rushed back to the Baltimore jail.
When interviewed, by Messrs. Houston and Lovett, Jupiter who can neither read nor write, denied having committed the crime. He is alleged, however, to have confessed to killing the woman to white police officers who questioned him shortly after his arrest.

One hundred dollars damages were allowed Lemuel Allen, an elderly man, of 1009 L Street, Northwest, by the District Supreme Court, last week, for personal injuries received when he was struck by an automobile driven by a white woman, May 22.
Allen was going south at Twentieth and K Streets, Northwest, when the machine operated by Miss Mary Moran, white, fo 1429 Columbia Road, Northwest, mounted the curb, knocked the pedestrian and dragged him for a considerable distance.
Allen was treated at Emergency Hospital for minor injuries and allowed to go to his home after treatment.
Miss Moran contended that she fainted just as she turned the corner and lost control of the machine before it mounted the curb and struck Allen.
Examination by George A. Parker, attorney for Allen, brought out the fact that Miss Moran did not faint until after the automobile had struck Allen, whereupon the court awarded Allen the $100 damages.

That Barnum was right when he said one is born every moment he was again proved true when Mrs. Ruth Carter, of 1622 Corcoran Street, Northwest fell for the old wallet flim-flam, Tuesday of last week. Mr., Carter told police that she was approached at Seventh Street and Pennsylvania Avenue, by two men, who claimed they had found a purse containing a fabulous sum of money. They told her they would give her $700, if she would give them some money as a guarantee that she would not tell the police. Eager to acquire the sum, Mrs. Carter handed over $65 as a guarantee that she would not turn informer. The couple disappeared. Officers have a description.
Two Pass District Dental Examination
The District of Columbia Board of Dental Examiners announced last week that two colored dentists had successfully passed examinations to practice. The two successful candidates were: Dr. Percy Alexander Fitzgerald and Dr. William T. Randall. Dr. Fitzgerald is a graduate of Northeastern University in 1924 and is at present an instructor in the Dental School at Howard University. Dr. Randall graduated from Howard Dental School in the class of 1931. Dr. Randall's home is Homelyville, Va.
TOT HURT IN FALL
Running at her home, three-year-old Jeanette Harris, of 1342 Cedar Court, Northwest, fell and cut a slight gash in her forehead, Saturday.
ported to be of low mental capacity, incapable of clear understanding of his predicament. No lawyer has yet been retained to defend him, it was learned, and there is likelihood that the court will have to appoint one when he is brought up for trial.
A brother of Jupiter is also mentally deficient. Information unearthed so far indicates that an aunt of the alleged slayer had been committed to an asylum and that his mother was also stated to have been "queer" by those who knew her. A plea of insanity seems likely.
Negroes serve on both the grand jury and on petit juries in Charles County where Jupiter will be brought to trial so there will probably be no light in the court on this issue. A Negro is now serving on the grand jury before which Jupiter's case will be presented. Other colored persons have served on petit juries in the county. Bernard Ades, white, International Labor Defense attorney, has interested himself in the case and may volunteer his 'services.
The School Physicians' Bulletin, published under the auspices of American Association of School Physicians, at Albany, New York, carries an article, "Promoting Health Consciousness Through Visual Education" in its issue of June, 1933, by Dr. E. H. Allen, director of health service Howard University. Dr. Allen points out that "the entire problem of health conservation must definitely include health education in the scheme o. instruction."
"The formal classroom teaching of hygiene," he says, "in a large number of schools by the physician and the teacher with varying degrees of training in health and physical education, is in all probability the most direct health education movement at this time. Another potent trend is the establishment of the many school services with their comprehensive programs.
"In addition to the development of health insight, many general rules of hygiene here are also incorporated. A clear appreciation of professional medical care may be the fullest outgrowth of this setup. Certainly efficiency consciousness as well as health consciousness should be followed."
He calls attention to the fact that European nations have gone far in this direction and states that there are indications that health education will be more formally incorporated in the education programs of this country in the future.
Japanese Foster Son of Former Howard Head Writes from Tokio
An adopted son of Dr. J. E. Rankin, president of Howard University from 1889 to 1923, has written from Tokio, Japan, to President Mordecai W. Johnson, acknowledging receipt of an invitation to be present at the commencement exercises of Howard University held June 9.
Dr. Rankin was also pastor of the First Congregational Church of Washington, D.C., and author of the hymn, "God Be Wit! You Till We Meet Again." During his period of service as president of Howard, a residence was erected for the president and the Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, a memorial to the brother of President Rankin, was built by funds secured from private sources.
The writer of the letter, Jenichiro Oyabe, also stated:
"I used to live in the house where you are now living. Down floor was my picture drawing room. The pictures (at Howard) of Professor Bassom and Andrew Rankin (Dr. Rankin's brother) were my drawings."
Mr. Oyabe graduated at Howard in theology in 1894, and received his master's degree, also from Howard, in 1898.
Court Refuses Rehearing in Logan Circle Slaying
The Court of Appeals last week refused a rehearing of the Logan Circle case in which three youths are sentenced to die next month for the slaying of Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy in Logan Circle in August, 1932.
Chief Counsel John H. Wilson filed the petition two weeks ago following a decision of the Court of Appeals upholding the District Supreme Court. However, the higher court granted a stay of mandate which postpones the execution of the sentence pending the filing of an application before the United States Supreme Court.
Mr. Wilson stated this week that every effort will be made to carry the fight to save the youths to the highest court.

Mr. Lemus on the Codes
In an article in the New York Age, Rienzi B. Lemus expresses the opinion that the Negro's interests in the set-up of the various industries under the Industrial Recovery Act will be fully cared for by the head of the American Federation of Labor. In his opening paragraph Mr. Lemus says:
Negro workers have no occasion for fear that they will be left out of the reckoning in the application of the provisions of the President's Industrial Recovery Act. They will fare infinitely better from the result of the efforts of the president of the American Federation of Labor on behalf of labor than could possibly be so with respect to the race presentations of Negro leaders and professional uplift institutions.
Since Mr. Lemus is the head of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, and an experienced and successful labor leader, his opinions are worthy of great respect; nevertheless, The Tribune does not share his optimism nor his faith in the interest and high idealism of William Green, the president of the A. F. of L.
As to this organization and its head he says:
I do not like the American Federation of Labor. It has never been able to rise above the level of the bickerings and fratricidal strife of the International Unions, each sovereign in its sphere.
President Green has no more to do with the race discriminations of the several internationals than has the editor of the Age; but he is individually bigger than their smallness, of statesmanesque calibre, and is struggling to rid the organization of its bias and itsisms.
All this may be true—Mr. Lemus is in a strategic position to know what he is talking about; yet although the papers gave considerable space to Mr. Green's presentations and protests at the hearings on the textile code, we did not notice any references he made to the exception of the cleaners and outside workers from the benefits of the minimum wage and minimum hours scales. Obviously, the bulk of the relatively few Negroes employed in the industry are in these classes which did not seemingly get the benefit of Mr. Green's solicitude.
This failure, however, may not have been due to race bias, since Mr. Green was evidently much occupied with a struggle for higher minimums and shorter hours.
Mr. Lemus says further:
When Mr. Green speaks in the conferences on adoption of the industrial codes, he speaks for all labor because the act itself admits of no discrimination against groups or races.
True, the act prohibits discrimination against races, yet the textile code which has been adopted, indirectly does just that thing.
If and when a code is adopted covering railway employees, the dining car cooks and the waiters are excepted from its provisions, it will not be racial discrimination on its face but it will be as a matter of fact.
When the railway workers' code is under consideration, Mr. Lemus undoubtedly will be alert to see that his organization is protected, as is his right and duty. And the Negro Industrial League, the Urban League and all other racial bodies that have any influence owe it to the race to have representatives on hand with data and argument to protect the unorganized workers of our group—assisting Mr. Green and other white spokesmen for labor and the consumers, but not wholly depending upon them.
And with the highest respect for Mr. Lemus and his knowledge and sincerity, we are moved to register disapproval of his disdainful blanket reference to "professional uplift institutions"—futile and fictitious as the activities of some of them are.
Merging Denominational Schools
The recent statement in the press concerning the closing of some and the merging of other schools and colleges maintained for colored youth by the Presbyterian Church serves to call attention to the plight of the schools maintained by the all-colored denominations and the contrasting dilatoriness of these colored church officials.
For several years there has been discussion in the ranks of clergy and laymen in various all-colored denominations looking to the merging of weaker schools and colleges with a view to strengthening the system and developing better equipped and better endowed institutions.
These discussions have been particularly urgent in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Taking account of the agitation and growing difficulty of keeping up even a
show of educational work in some of the institutions, the general conference of the church, in May, 1932, authorized the merging of certain schools.
That was over a year ago, yet a reading of an account of the meeting of the board of bishops in Cleveland last month indicates that little if anything has been done about the matter.
An account published about a month ago gave a summary of the matters dealt with in the bishops' address, including the matter of merging schools.
Quoting from the address as published in the Pittsburgh Courier, we read:
Our last General Conference specifically named which schools were to be merged. Death by slow starvation is too great a menace to the property and the spark of life that still survives in our schools and colleges to delay action in heroically applying the remedies that for a brief space may still be possible. The president and secretary of the board of our Department of Education were directed to proceed at once to acquaint themselves with the facts, obstacles and opportunities, relating to merging our schools and further, that they apply all the resources of co-operation and council at their command to aid the different boards of trustees to arrive at agreements leading to decisive action. All were admonished to banish self-deception, to submerge personal ambitions and to approach the problem with open minds and with willingness to compromise in the larger interest of the highest good of all concerned.
Just why this sort of pleading for action is necessary in the face of the diminished and diminishing income of the church would be difficult to determine.
Very recently, Western University, in Kansas, one of the two colleges—universities so-called—of the denomination in the former free states, has gone, it seems, completely out of the control of the church. The other, Wilberforce, is in the throes of a muddle with authorities of the state which has been supporting a department or section of the school. Besides this, the existence of the college proper hangs in the balance due to lack of means.
At various points in the South there are schools and colleges of the denomination gasping for breath, yet the bishops' council must plead for the banishment of self-deception the submergence of personal ambitions and so on.
If the bishops are impotent and the school authorities stiff-necked and self-seeking, how will it end?
Hitler's Grandmother a Jewess
Now comes the news—reasonably well substantiated—that Hitler, the present dictator and Jew baiter of Germany, is himself descended from a Jewish grandmother. The Nazi decrees have outlawed persons of Jewish descent much further removed than the third degree—which would seem to put Herr Hitler in a hole. However, the news comes from Vienna and will, of course, not be allowed to appear in any newspaper published in Germany, nor is it probable that anyone will dare publicly to raise the question. So, officially, it will probably not come up so long as the Hitlerites have a strangle hold on Germany. Commenting on the matter, the Jewish-owned New York Times says:
It is hard to see why anybody should be anxious to prove that Hitler has Jewish blood. If this should turn out to be the case, there will be just as little satisfaction in it for the Jews as for Hitler.
This statement, considering its source, seems strangely cryptic, especially in view of the heading of the note—"Both Stand to Lose."
Of course in a spiritual sense the Jews will regret that Jewish blood, even so far removed, can fall so low; but the discovery, if verified and established, will put a bruise on the head of the snake of race prejudice and intolerance.
Recent advices from Liberia indicate that negotiations which have been carried on for several weeks seem destined to result in substantial concessions to Liberia and an amicable agreement with the Firestone interests.
The Three Rings
I met a girl at Seventh and T.
Her eyes were damp and dim;
She wore three rings, her rosary
Of showy brummagem.
No, two were cheap as chalk, and shone
As though fresh from their mold;
But one was free of set or stone,
And glimmered like wet gold.
Two rings upon her slim brown hand
She wore, with sets of glass,
The third was just a thin, pale band
That held no hint of brass.
But when again I chanced to pass,
Two rings were all she had,
And both were brass, with sets of glass,
And I was very glad.
She'd learned to keep the mean and cheap
As each must learn who cares;
Forget the things that make us ween
orget the things that make us weep
And dim our days with tears.

Editor Vann Is First Fruit of Negro's New Political Hope
Editor Vann Is First Fruit of Negro's New Political Hope
The Editor's Relatively Early Selection Indicates Democrats Will Not Disappoint the Colored Converts.
Rebert L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier, recently appointed special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, has become the first fruit of the Negro's new political hope. Mr. Vann's politics have recently undergone kaleidoscopic changes. He may be described as late Republican, later Non-Partisan, and latest Democrat. He wrote me when he abandoned his non-partisan affiliation for his new found Democratic faith.
Oscar DePriest, the high priest of the Non-Partisan movement, reverted to his first love during the last campaign while Mr. Vann, an ardent disciple, veered off in the opposite direction.
But let us not chide Mr. Vann for the suddenness of his conversion, nor question the sincerity and genuineness of his newly avowed political devotion. The Democracy of three of Mr. Roosevelt's cabinet members bears a vantage as brand new as that of the Pittsburgh editor.
The wisdom of the policy of the Non-Partisan League is confirmed by Mr. Vann's good fortune. Any one-party group in a two-party country shows short-sighted political wisdom. National politics is like a game of see-saw—the competing parties are sometimes up and sometimes down. Woe be to that group which has been in persistent opposition to the party that wins. The Negro's one-sided devotion to the fortunes of the Grand Old Party for the past sixty-five years has well nigh ruined him as a political entity.

PREACHED WISDOM OF DIVIDED VOTE
During the last campaign, I preached in and out of season, the wisdom of a divided vote. The old line Republican leadership branded as traitors to the race those who aligned themselves with the Democratic opposition and even those who counselled independence. One of their most venerable orators declared that all such Negro traitors should be sent to Hell. In such event, I fear that a majority of the race would be found in the hotter place.
Politics is not a matter of sentiment, but of sense. Let us pitch our argument on the lower plane of political loaves and fishes. Other things equal, that party which offers the most jobs will get the most votes. While it is true that principle is more than policy and justice is a higher consideration than jobs, yet as far as the Negro is concerned, I have often said that honors, or rather dishonors, are even.
There was every assurance during the last campaign that the Democratic party, if victorious, would raise the Republicans' ante by going them one better. Bitter experience makes the Negro wary concerning political promises. The promise to the Negro was secured by the common sense and sagacity of the leaders. They know full well that the Negro vote in the Northern and border states is essential to the future triumph of local and national candidates. A broken promise at this critical political juncture, would seriously jeopardize the national fortunes of the Democratic party in the years to come.

PATH OF G.O.P. STREWN
WITH PROKEN PROMISES
On the other hand, the Grand Old Party's path is strewn with broken promises to the black ally. Official recognition has grown ugly less from Hayes to Hoover. The wily leaders were ever prone to fall back with sure reliance on the ancient debt of gratitude which the Negro owed to Lincoln, Sumner and Stevens. But this net can never again be laid in the presence of the crafty black bird.
Nothing but the utter failure of the present administration to treat the Negro with assured justice and generosity can ever again drive the race like dumb driven cattle back into the folds of the party which has fooled them for forty years.
During the last campaign I followed the Negro Republican spellbinders with a careful degree of closeness. They did not advance a single constructive present-day reason for supporting the party of their advocacy. Their entire reliance was placed on condemnation of Democrats in general, and Jack Garner in particular.
The ever keen, clever and alert-minded Perry Howard and his political partners in distress are keeping a keen lookout for Democratic sins of omission and commission against the new Negro converts as dramatic material for the next campaign. So far, no encouragement has been given them. They are still watchfully waiting and waiting watchfully. Roosevelt, to say the least, has done as well as Coolidge or Hoover up to the corresponding date.

HOOVER'S FIRST APPOINTMENT
LATER THAN ROOSEVELT'S
Mr. Hoover, as I hastily recall, made no Negro assignment until the beginning of the mid-administration election, and then had his subordinates designate three distinguished Negroes to important subordinate posts, obviously with the purpose of influencing the approaching election. Having failed in this, he paid no further heed to the Negro clamor until that famous co-ordinating conference at the White House, which its sponsors should be glad to forget.
If the appointment of Mr. Vann to such a high post is an earnest of Mr. Rebevevlt's purpose to keep the faith with his black allies, the division of the Negro vote for the future is assured. The work of the Non-Partisan Negro League will not have been in vain.
There still remains the hope and expectation that the pleases once held by Republican

There still remains the hope and expectation that in filling places now held by Republican Negroes by Democratic substitutes or in breaking official new ground, Mr. Roosevelt will search for Democratic or independent candidates at least as well qualified in caliber, character and accomplishments as their Republican counterparts and prototypes. Mr. Vann measures up to these requirements in every particular.
The Liberian Crisis
BY HENRY LITCHFIELD WEST President, American Colonization (Extract from booklet published by the society.)
The United States and Liberia, once the closest of friends, are now at dagger's point. There is at present no sign of reconciliation. It seems strange that Liberia, which has everything to gain by continued friendship with the United States, should deliberately sever the ties which for so long have bound the nations together.
The first break came when the United States brought to the attention of the world the slavery conditions in Liberia, which Secretary Stimson regarded as "shocking." Liberia resented this action. It argued without foundation that the United States exploded a worldwide scandal to the everlasting shame of Liberia, and did not quietly warn that country that certain damaging facts had come into the possession of the American government and that it should have requested Liberia in a friendly manner to eradicate the alleged evils, thus acting the role of a kind father to a wayward son.
The Republic Was Derelict
As a matter of fact, I am informed that Liberia, before the report of the Slavery Commission was published, was afforded an opportunity to discount the disclosures by declaring that although forced labor had existed, it had been abolished. The offer was declined and the exposure which followed startled the whole world. Even then the breach between the two nations, although it had become threatening, might have been healed if Liberia had made and executed definite promises of reform. Its failure to do so led to Secretary Stimson's decision to discontinue diplomatic relations with the Republic. When that action was taken the hitherto narrow rift became a chasm and an anti-American sentiment was displayed by the Liberian administration which continues to the present day.
Up to that time, however, there had been no overt act on the part of Liberia t owhich the United States could take offense.
When the Liberian government negotiated the loan of five million dollars from the Finance Corporation of America, it represented that it needed the money not only for the adjustment of its outstanding indebtedness but for the construction of certain public works in the form of roads, bridges and wharves, and the development of harbors and communications; the encouragement and development of agriculture; the creation of a sanitary organization, including the establishment and maintenance of hospitals; construction of schools and the encouragement of education among the peoples of the Republic; the maintenance of the Frontier Force, and the general development of the country.
Here, then, was a program which augured well for the future of Liberia. Money spent along these lines would be a capital investment. It meant permanent improvements absolutely required to place the Republic upon a solid foundation for substantial progress. It proposed a long step forward in the direction of ideal conditions. It was a loan thoroughly unselfish, for Liberia was to be the sole beneficiary.
According to the loan agreement, dated September 1, 1926, "the Government covenants that both principal and interest of the bonds will be paid promptly as they respectively become due." Liberia was to pay all expenses incident to the service of the loan and "as an additional guarantee of the prompt payment of the loan and to ensure the efficient organization and functioning of the Liberian fiscal service," it was agreed that the President of the United States should designate a Financial Advisor, the appointment being subject to the approval of the President of Liberia, but this Advisor could not be removed except upon request of the President of the United States. Provision was also made for a Supervisor of Internal Revenue, and bonded auditors to handle the finances of the Republic. They were to be removable only for cause.
The whole project was buttressed by numerous safeguards, including the creation of a budget. The latter was to guarantee that the expenses should not exceed the revenues, and it was expressly declared that "no sum shall be disbursed in amount greater than those provided for in the budget." The government funds were to be deposited in a bank approved by the Fiscal Agent, the institution finally selected being the United States Trading Company which succeeded the Bank of British West Africa when the latter willdrew from Monrovia.
EDITOR'S NOTE. + Concerning the conditions attached to the lean, Prof. Ben N. Axi-kiwe, in his article in the Southern Workman (to which
reference was made in our issue of June 20 19s:
"The Finance Corporation of America in its agreement with the Republic stipulated that fifty per cent of the original $5,000,000 loan would be available to Liberia. Out of this, the Republic must have a staff under the loan regime and be paid as follows: $42,000 for salaries of fiscal officers, $8,000 for military officers, $35,000 for sinking fund, and $175,000 for interest charges—an aggregate of $260,000 per annum! In other words, the services under the loan regime have been more than half of the expenditures of the national budget since its inception."
Think It Over
By BEATRICE M. MURPHY
Here within this narrow space,
your humble scribe attempts, by
giving you her reaction on some
of the main issues of life to help
you to interpret your own life and
perhaps find some of the answers
you are looking for.
It is a big job, for no two lives
are the same, and none can call
himself or herself a competent
teacher or guide. It is a big job
because it places a great responsibility upon the person who would
take up the task. Guiding—or at-
tempting to guide—human lives is
serious business.
Your problems and questions are important to you. There may be—and probably are—thousands of people in the world with the same problems, who are searching frantically for the answers to the very same question—that you are, yet your paths never cross. Perhaps if they did, life would be easier,—from out of your combined experiences, you might derive an answer. I would have you feel that my message is written to you and you alone; that I realize the importance of your particular problem to you and try to find the answer to fit it.
Perhaps there is some particular problem or phase of life on which you would like to have another's viewpoint. Write your editor or the author and tell him or her. Neither will pull down Plato from the shelf and quote him to you, but either will do his or her best to make the situation clearer, in so far as they are able.
I would have yo remember, first of all, that the ultimate answer to every question that you are seeking in life will come, finally, from within yourself. You search the world over and experience things that scar your soul, broaden your horizon, and change your whole outlook, only to learn the big lesson—that you are the key to the situation; what you learn from life only helps you to unlock the door to yourself.
When you have mastered the correct use of that key, you have solved the mystery of life and won a battle. You have passed within sight of the infinite! You have learned the beauty and mystery of the biggest thing in the universe—a human soul.
I would have you remember, also, that to a very great extent, you make your own life, and no matter where the scene is laid, there is beauty there if you can find it. There is God. No soul can really thrive without either.
Further, the more you suffer in life, the more will grow upon your consciousness the fact that life is a great big joke, but it takes a big person to view it thus. You will laugh, not because you want to, but because you have to, and thus turn the joke upon the gods instead of upon yourself.
Think it over.

The Tribune is fortunate in having the services of several regular writers who cover various features, we think, well, hence we can not spare space for more of the same sort.
We have on hand, for example several essays in the form of advice to graduates—all good, but all alike and all of the self-same trend and tone as the speaches delivered at school closings.
Our writers will please remember that, as the saying goes, advice—even good advice—is cheap; but space is dear.
"If countries will only lay aside 'nationalism' and 'internationalism' and substitute in their places a world-wide principle of co-operation, that form of co-operation which you have demonstrated to be so effective in the erection of this building, I feel confident that their efforts would be many times repaid." John D. Rockefeller, III.
SPECIAL FEATURES
IN THE REALM OF BOOKS
Ernest J. Yancy, eldest son of the former vice president of Liberia, and honor graduate of Wilberforce University, has completed a book on his country entitled, "Historical Lights of Liberia's Yesterday and Today," and is seeking a publisher to handle it.
This book begins its discussion in 1820 and ends with the present developments in Liberia. Special attention is given to foreign loans, Firestone concession, forced labor, slavery, native life, customs and religion.
Mr. Yancy says "My only aim in writing this book is to give the reader the opportunity to discover some facts and conditions of Liberia which have not been brought to light in a detailed manner." His book is centered around what he calls four major shaping forces of Liberia.
Because of Mr. Yancy's relation and position, he has been able to present Liberia in a somewhat different light, and his book is an interesting piece of history both for its style and material.
This book was passed upon by the following members of the Wilberforce faculty: Dr. Gilbert H. Jones, Miss Geraldine Jackson, Professor W. H. A. Booker and F. A. McGinnis.
Mr. Yancy completed this work in his senior year, and graduated on June 8, receiving his A. B. degree with the honor of cum laude.
He is contemplating further study in this country before returning to his native home. His address will be Wilberforce, Ohio, until otherwise anounced.
What can the Negro Expect from Communism? is discussed in the July Opportunity by Asbury Smith, prominent in interracial circles in Baltimore.
Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, former president of Howard University, writes a challenging article on "The Périal' of the Negro Church."
"A Possible Triad on Black Notes" by Marita O. Bonner, which received honorable mention in the Opportunity literary contest, is a story which strikes a new note in fiction of Negro life.
Joseph H. Willits, director of the Wharton School of Finance, University of Pennsylvania, writes "Some Impacts of the Negro in the Depression in Philadelphia," a paper which was read at the Rosenwald Conference on the Economic Status of the Negro.
Elmer A. Carter, the editor, describes "The Negro in College Athletics," an appraisal of the past and present of the Negro college students who have excelled their felows on track and field.

Prince Desta Demtu, son-in-law and special envoy of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, who was guest at lunchmen of President Roosevelt, Wednesday of this week, probably thought this to be a womanless country.
He and his party were entertained entirely on the masculine basis. The President's luncheon was ladyless, so was the dinner at the Pan-American Union. The prince was almost stagged to death. (The American Negro has a word for such hospitality.) The prince's visit was to repay the United States for the respect shown Ethiopia in 1930 during the coronation of Emperor Selassie.

Last week Page Jupiter killed his white co-worker, Mrs. Evelyn Reifschneider, with an axe because, he said, she begged him "do it after she heard that he was going to leave her husband's employ.
This week we had another murder somewhat the opposite. Frances Allen, white, accidentally killed her colored sweetheart, Albert Fletcher.
Because she found him to be of Negro blood she said she sought to kill herself. She got in Fletcher's car to attempt the suicide, and in a scuffle to prevent her from achieving her end Fletcher was shot. Jealousy was probably the root of both murders. Jupiter, jealous of Mr. Reitschneider, and Miss Allen, of Fletcher's colored girl friends. There is said to be a law called the Great Divide. Probably it does
KEEPING A PROMISE Back in my prison days (over a month ago now) I promised to use this column for the balance of my life in an effort to help the Negro in business, for I am convinced that every wrong affecting the Negro today can be righted if the Negroes, as a group, will just quit chasing will-o-the-wisps and concentrate on building up a strong economic group.
Favors of any kind can best be secured by that group who know how to control and use their purchasing power. If you don't believe that is true, just put a small want ad in your favorite white paper advising that you have some money to invest. The many people who answer your ad and seek your funds will be so courteous, pleasing, promising and docile to you that you will even forget that you are black—such is the power of possession.
Since being free, the very first step I have taken towards helping the Negro in business is to ferret out all the little leaks that waste the energy, and sap the financial vitality out of our economic system. For years, in prison, I recorded every significant fact and now I am checking these facts—as best my meagre funds will permit me. And while a prisoner I wrote many an article on the wastefulness of our people chasing rainbows through following the leads of questionable advertisers.
The very spot in our economic system that is worse than a cancer is the fact that many of our publishers, in their zeal to achieve a revenue today without realizing the effect it will have on their own revenues tomorrow, or on the race as a whole, use the questionable, and, yes, in a great many cases, fraudulent advertisements that are plastered all over the advertising columns of some publications.
That circumstance is the very worst spot in our economic condition today. How can we as a race expect to build ourselves up on a sound economic basis when the advertising columns of our papers lead the readers to believe that all one has to do is to buy a rabbit's foot, lucky charm, snake ring, incense powder, confidential tips, or whatnot, and sit back and wait for lady luck to do the rest.
I am frank to state right here that every publisher who encourages this sort of procedure, regardless of what he may extol in his editorial columns, or how public-spirited he may be, is positively dragging his own race down and is positively making it harder for his own paper to secure the advertisements of strictly legitimate business firms.
Our publishers are continually harping on co-operation, but talk to one of our paper's readers about co-operation and you will be forced to wait until he "hits" the number or a lucky charm has brought around his ship, for such a reader spends his earnings in such quackery while his legitimate business needs are neglected and honest debts are ignored.
```markdown
```
How any publisher can ride around in his swank car knowing that he is playing the part of a common "steerer" to a more common and despicable "racket" and not permit his conscience to hurt him is beyond me.
During the past few weeks I have checked up on some of my previous compilations and in my possession I now have facts on many of these questionable advertisers and I have definite proof of the worthlessness of their efforts. In some instances their mail has been definitely prohibited through a governmental fraud order, and yet our publishers run their advertisements permitting them to use the telegraph to further mulct our people.
From time to time, through this column, I shall expose in concrete form some of these many propositions, naming the papers in which such ads are run and the method in which they are secured, and why they are run. It goes without saying that the guilty publishers will not run such releases, but I am grateful to know that there are sufficient number of other reliable publishers who can see far ahead and are willing to help a fight that will eradicate the cancer from our economic system and which will, in time, mean a larger and more reliable flow of advertising revenue from legitimate advertisers—after the illegitimate advertisers are first chased to oblivion.

F ful Social Quiet -
But Little Disturbed
By VIVIAN TURNER
The peaceful quiet of Washington's social whirl has been disturbed
very little during the past week. Many who have enjoyed an early
vacation out of town have returned only to become extremely bored
by the sameness of the daily program.
Those, who have not yet been able to pack up, bag and baggage,
and migrate for a few weeks are eagerly awaiting the time to make
their exit.
Quite a few of Washington's elite are planning to attend the Cen-
tury of Progress Exposition in Chicago, Many physicians are making
it two in one by waiting until August, when the National Medical As-
sociation will hold its meeting in that city.
Soon the local physicians will meet and elect delegates, ot
course, many plan to, g0, who will not be delegates. :
Those who attended the dentists’ convention in Atlantic City last
week retutned very much pleased with the hospitality accorded them,
A large number Was in attendance and many problems discussed in
private sessions. Dances, breakfasts, dinner parties, and beach par-
ties were all social featuxes which were enjoyed after business sessions,

cial affair. Many of the older citizens joined in making the affair a
Success and reviving the spirit of former years when these excursions

Highland Beach: Election Set
Ss
for Saturday of Next Week
Incumbents Have No Opposition So Fay; Chairman of
Commission Makes Annual Report; List of
Elgible Voters Appended
SIX
held July 29, according to an an-
nouncement by Haley G. Doug-
Jass, chairman of the board of com-
missioners of the conimunity.
. All of the incumbent commis-
sioners are ‘candidates for re-elec-
tion, No position slate has ap-
peared so far. The present offi
ciais are: Haley G. Douglass, chair-
man: Talley R. Holmes, treasurer;
Dz. John E. Washington, secretary
Dr. William A. Wells, and Mrs.
Fannie H. Douglass.
Commissioner Dougiass in his
annua! report sets forth the growth
‘of the community after forty years
as an al!-Negro settlement, and
poinis out that a recent decision
by the Court of Common Pleas,
Baltimore, set aside a judgment
and attachment when one of the
residents of Highland Beach proved
“that he was a resident of Anne
Arundel county.
‘The case involved an automobile
accident in which a beach citizen's
car was in a collision witha ma-
chine owned by a Baltimore man.
The Baltimore man sued in the
seourts of that city and received
sjudzment, but it was set aside
When it was brought to the atten-
tion of the court that the person
sued was a resident of Highland
“Beach, Anne Arundel county.
“The report of Commissioner
“Douglass follows:
Annual Report of the Board of
= Commissioners
July 12, 1933,
“The Community of Highland
Beach has completed its fortieth
year of growth and improvement,
sand its eleventh year as an incor-
eporated town whose facilities are
for the exclusive use of its property
‘owners and their house guests.
This line of development has been
‘persistently opposed and the ordi-
maances of the town violated by the
Sroving element of pleasure seekers
‘Ayho, investing their money in au-
‘tomobiles rather than in real prop-
‘enty, follow good roads and tres-
‘pass wherever law enforcement is
Weak.
©"“The Board of Commissioners
chas again found it necessary to di-
wect the atterition of the county
Police authorities to the numerous
Wisorderly ‘parties which have re-
-eently invaded Highland Beach and
iuring the night disturbed the
speace of the neighboring water-
‘front. We have appointed a con-
stable to patrol the beach and
parties undressing and bathing
from autos will have their tag
numbers phoned to the state police.
‘The pleasant relations which have
‘existed between Highland Beach’
and nearby communities demand
‘this action.
Property Rights
“To further protect the property
tights of cur citizens, the Maryland
legislature strengthened our char-
ter with respect to ‘the qualifica-
tions of voters and to provide for
the method of proposing amend-
ments to the charter of-the town
of Highland Beach and for the
‘method of proposing the incorpor-
ating of Highland Beach with any
surrounding town. (Chapter 119
of the Acts of 1933, State of Mary-
land.)
“We are gratified to note a re-
cent decision by the Court of Com-
mon Pleas, Baltimore, Maryland,
Setting aside a judgment and at-
fachment, when one of our readers
proved that he was a legal voter
and resident of Maryland. We,
therefore, urge all of the citizens
‘of Highland Beach to avail them-
selves.of the privilege of qualify-
ing as legal residents and voters in
the State of Maryland.
“Our road commissioner through
fireless and efficient effort has with
limited funds met the expensive
problem of road building and has
‘early completed our slag and tar-
Via highways. During the coming
Year we expect the completion of
Walnut Drive, Bay Avenue, and
Wayman Avenue.
Financially Safe
~ “Our secretary, in addition to his
regular duties, kas conducted our
legislative program and handled
our court cases with rare ability.
Despite the fact that many towns
have lost their funds in a year of
Dank failures, our treasurer has
been able to save and have avail-
Abie every cent of our money,
_ “The board of commissioners at
its last meeting accepted the beau-
tiful pavilion which was built by a
committee of wouien of the High-
dand Beach Citizens’ Association
“out of contributions collected dur-
ing years of enthusiastic effort,
We trust that it will long endure
AS x monument to their devotion
and that the residents and guests
Sf onr community will at all times
Stotect it from improner” ure.
“We are glad to note that the
Founger members of our town have
formed an athletic accociation and
that they are mindful of the splen
Hid opportunity for wholesome de-
yelopment afforded by our town,

EXTENDS FIGHT
FOR BLRAGIAL
PARK GAMES
EVANSTON A
were completed last week for 1
community-wide mass meeting, t
be held at Masonic hall’ this
week, to protest th jim crow rule
put in fore by the Evanston Park
Board, barring mixed games fron
the city’s parks.
The meeting is being called. bs
Alderman Jourdain, of. the fittk
ward who last week sponsored
‘city council investigation into the
| proposed segregation, and.demand.
ed repeal of the rule.
‘The baseball situation isthe sec:
ond controversy which Alderman
Jourdain has had this summer with
the heads of the city’s recreation
department. For years the bureau
of recreation has followed a cus-
tom which prevailed while ex-Al-
derman Peter U. Jans (white) was
in power, of having a jim crow/ex-
amination for life guards‘for the
city’s bathing” beaches,
Under Alderman Jans, the cus-
‘tom had been to have the examina-
tion for-white life guards at the
Patten gymnasium of: Northwest-
ern University, and then to have a
separate examination for . dark-
skinned ‘life guard candidates at
the Emerson Street Y.M.C.A.
branch, Plans were made this year
for carrying on the custom.) .
Segregation Flayed
Alderman Jourdain - interfered,
threatening at first to air the whole
matter on the floor of the council,
and whey that did no good, to move
on the couneil floor to have the city
of Evanston cancel the sum which
was annually voted out in the city’s
budget to Northwestern University
for the use of the Patten gymnas-
ium swimming pool for the exam-
inations, on the ground that-candi-
dates of all races were not allowed
to take the exams there.
Upon the fifth ward alderman’s
protests, the superintendent of the
bureau of recreation finally agreed
to see to it that the jim crow. tra-
dition would be broken, and that
all candidates, regardless of race,
would be given the same examina-
tion at ‘the same time at the same
pool.
‘The fifth ward alderman’s posi-
tion on the present attempt at dis-
crimination is being backed by At-
torneys Howard Bell and Nelson
M. Willis, who. are heading a: spe-
cial legal’ defense committee which
Alderman Jourdain‘ is organizing.
“We have no intention‘of sitting by
and letting: the \inswlt go) unre-
buffed,” he declared. “We. are: or-
ganizing-a defense, and. if neces-
sary we are going into the highest
‘courts of the state with the case.”

Friendship ys. Money
It was either, an ancient: sooth-
sayer or @ modern philosopher that
has been credited with the follow-
ing “pearl” of wisdom, to. wit—
“Money is the leveler of all friend-
ships.” :
‘There is more truth than poetry
to that sentence, How true it is.
Money is'the leveler of all friend-
ships.” In these days of ‘economic
distress -the realization” of this
truth becomes’ more and: more ‘ap-
parent with each succeeding in-
terval.
Probably you, too, have caught the
irony that is. evident in that “pa-
thetic but tuneful melody “Buddy,
can you spare a dime?” © Often
times that “buddy” to whom a
fervent appeai is pitifully made is
devoid gf ‘ail sympathy and ap-
preciation for past favors. and
deeds rendexed by his panic.strie-
Ken comrade in the not so distant
past; for, “Money is the leyeler of
all friendships.”
How ofter have you -and you
and you become acquainted with
the type of “friend” wha. persists
in boasting of how much, he thinks
of you, what he wouldn't do for
‘you ete—and when ‘te is put to
the test, falls down miserably.»
Now-adays, if you are desirous
of “breaking” a well-cemented
“friendsnip,” all that is nc.essary
for you to dc is to’slep your “pal”
fon the back and whisper: sof*.v
into his eac “Listen, buddy, T’ am
up against ite; can wyou slat -me
have a five spot until pay day (if
you have a pay day)?
After you have. made the (plea,
be sure to note the sudden expres-
sion of mingled disgust and sulki-
ness that will encompass his manly
countenance. It is then that you
will realize thet -the modern defi-
nition of friendship can be best
explained in terms of commercial
evaluation.
Now I know that there are some
who will say “Well, I have friends
to whom I can go to when I am
in need, and they are as good as
gold.” But to them I will reply,
those friends of that calibre are
rare “species” and are gradually
becoming as extinct as the Ameri-
can’ Indian. To you who seek
genuine companionshiy and com-
araderie, I might advise, endeavor
as best you can to forbid any com-
mercial aspects to wedge them-
selves between you and yours—for
the result is inevitable—“Money is
the leveler of all friendships.”

They Tell Me ‘That—
The recent. notoriety given te
the Allen-Fletcher mixed murder
case will do nothing at all towards
cementing any ‘spirit of friendli
ness that may now exist between
Nordies and Negroes.:. as a mat-
ter of fact, it ix infamous publicity
of this nature that tends to destroy
any fraternity between the tw
racial groups.

‘Do You Remember When
(To. the men) You wore your
first. “knickerbockers.” how you
struggled to tie the end of each
trouser leg, so that it would fit
neatly?
Some of the less fortunate of us
had considerable difficulty making
them “bag” just right—our legs
weren't just plump engugh.. Boy,
and weren't we ticked to throw off
those stove-pipes that hugged our
knees until we thought ‘they were
sewed on tous. Boy, but those
were the good old ‘days!
(To the ladies) Do. you‘remem-
ber the fad that bowled the men
over about five summers ago?
Right! . Rolled stockings below
the knees. How grandmother did
shriek with consternation and sur-
prise when she’first saw that sight,
“What are, these young ‘uns. com-
ing to?” and expressions of similar
tone and tenor were flown into the
ears of these startling daughters
until .the~ style gradually’ outlived
its popularity: But, you women
can have the ‘satisfaction in: know-
ing that the lower limbs had the
“freedom of expression” for a few
summiers ‘at least.
(To all of us) Who can forget
the “pajama” craze that took the
country by storm ‘a few summers
ago?
‘There were pajamas for men and
pajamas for women. At first cries
of ridicule and. mockery greeted the
pioneers of this fad, but gradually
the number in the pajama wearing
ranks increased to a considerable
figure, Consequently there was in-
creased . competition among. the
wearers to “outpajama” one an-
other by seeing which ones could
display ‘the most expensive and
most luxurious looking pajamas.
This fad has remained with us
to some extent, and while men”
women do not go in for it as con-
spicuously as they did a few years
ago, it is-not unusual to witness 4
display of pajamas at the home,
the beach, at parties and’ other
more informal social gatherings.

THE MME. WALKER MEDAL WILL BE DISCONTINUED
Has Been Awarded for Nine Years Through the N.A.A.C.P.
Associate Negro Press
NEW YORK—The Mme. C. J. Walker Medal has been discontinued, according to an announcement made Monday at the offices of the N.A.A.C.P. which annually awarded it.
Dean William Pickens, who had charge of that phase of the work said,
"In 1924 I secured from the Mme. C. J. Walker company of Indianapolis; Indiana, an annual award of one gold medal and two scholarships for highest achievements each year among those striving to help the American Negro through the N.A.A.C.P., and not being connected with the national office as paid employs.
"After a few years, the scholarships were discontinued but the medal has been given annually, the last one for 1933 going to Dr. O. A. J. McPherson of Birmingham, Ala., for his courageous work in connection with the Scottsbore and Willie Peterson cases and for reviving the N.A.A.C.P. in Birmingham against great odds. "Dr. McPherson sponsored several large mass meetings to be addressed by the field secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. at a time when feeling was so intense that most people in Birmingham were afraid to be responsible for such meetings.
"Dr. McPherson is the ninth and the last person to receive the Mute, C. J. Walker Gold Medal, as the company finds it necessary to discontinue the annual donation temporarily. But it is expected that the N.A.A.C.P. will continue the annual award of a gold medal, perhaps an N.A.A.C.P. Gold Medal; to the member rendering the best service, as usual."
Chicago Wilberforeans Plan to Welcome Alumni
Associated Negro Press
CHICAGO—The Chicago Wilberforce club of which Mrs. LeUrsa Snelson Hendrick is president, has completed plans for entertaining visiting Wilberforceans according to announcements made by chairmen of various committees here.
Headquarters of the alumni have been established in the new Urban League Community Rooms, 510 E. 51st Street. Visitors are requested to register there any afternoon between 2:00 and 6:00. Hostesses will be on duty on certain days to meet and greet visiting alumni and put them in touch with personal friends.
This will also be the headquarters for the Wilberforce committee which is sponsoring the "Memory Book of a Million Names." This book which is perhaps the largest in the country, was designed especially for the Wilberforce financial campaign.
Negro Cotton Mill Workers Not Benefited by New Code
Will Lose $3,600,000 Annually in Pay Increases Under New Textile Code; No Reduction in Hours; No Additions to Employed
That the 10,008 Negro cleaners and outside employees in the cotton mills of the South will lose more than $3,600,000 annually in pay increases given to other classes of labor under the cotton textile code approved recently by President Roosevelt, was one of the conclusions made in a statistical analysis of the code prepared by the Department of Research of the Negro Industrial League.
The survey of the effect of the cotton textile code on Negro labor revealed other important facts concerning Negro consumption of cotton. General facts as to the effect the increase in the cost of living will have on Negro buying power were also contained in the report
"While the figures for 1930 are the only official reported ones," said the survey, "fragmentary reports for 1933 indicate that the ratio for white and Negro cotton mill workers has remained substantially the same. Generalizations, therefore, upon the 1930 Census figures, while not giving a complete picture of conditions, will give an adequate view of the plight in which the Negro cotton mill worker finds himself under the new cotton textile code as approved by President Roosevelt."
10.000 Negroes Affected
"The new code," continues the survey, "affects the wages of more than 400,000 workers now employed as well as of more than 100,000 who will be added to the present force. Of those employed in 1930—and the number will serve as an index of the 1933 situation—13,961 were Negroes; and, of these 10,068 will receive no benefits in higher wages or shorter hours under the code. The result is that these workers will be denied pay increases totalling $3,664,752 annually. "If this group is compared with an equal number of white cotton mill workers included in the beneficial provisions of the code, the following results: the 10,068 Negroes for working 604,080 man-hours a week will receive $50,340 weekly, while the same number of whites, who will be required to work only 402,720 man-hours a week, will receive $120,816 weekly.
"Moreover the fact that Negro workers are still required to work 60 hours a week will mean that the 201,360 man-hours they work in addition to the man-hours worked by an equal number of whites will prevent increases in Negro employment. If this extra time were parcelled out, as has been done in the case of white labor, there would result the employment of an additional 5,034 Negro workers on the basis of 40 hours a week.
Increased Negro Income
The additional income derived by these now unemployed Negro workers would be $60,428 weekly, or $3,142,256 annually. The refusal, therefore, of the President to include Negro cleaners and outside workers in the benefits under the code will mean a consequent loss
In Negro buying power of nearly $7,000,000.
"This when it is realized that the cost of living will rise in the next few weeks more than 10 per cent and has already appreciably increased, the significance of this loss in buying power becomes marked."
The survey also drew attention to threatened increases in the price of feedstuffs and other products of the farm and factories. "Not only will continued curtailment of Negro buying power result in widespread human misery among colored families," said the report, "but as well a failure to realize the need for increasing this buying power along with the buying power of the white family may well result in a complete paralysis of the present administration's plans for national recovery."
Code Approved Conditionally
Some progress was made by the league, however. The code as approved by the President was conditioned upon the establishment of a minimum wage and maximum hours of service scale for these classes by January 1, 1934. In the interim the President reserved the right to modify the code to include these classes at any time.
Officials of the league announced this week that they would begin at once preparation of a brief for presentation to President Roosevelt requesting immediate inclusion of the execved classes in the beneficial provisions of the code. It is planned to support the brief with facts as to the cost of living of Negro cotton mill workers, wages paid them, and hours worked by them each week. It was pointed out that the code itself is approved for four months only, but that cotton mill owners have been given six months in which to prepare a minimum wage and maximum hours scale for Negro employees.
Speaking for the league, John P. Davis, its executive secretary, expressed keen dissatisfaction with the code as at present approved. He said:
"President Roosevelt has declared his policy to be to put people back to work, to raise the wages of employees and to increase the buying power of the working man. Whatever may be the results of the cotton textile code, it can not be said that as now approved the code contains any benefit to the bulk of the black labor employed in the industry.
"As the code stands, for the next six months, the Negro cotton mill worker must still work 60 hours a week and more, while the white employee works only 40 hours; must still receive $5 a week and less while the white worker will receive $12 a week and more. Moreover there will be no increase in the jobs available for colored un-employed."
Mr. Davis also warned that unless there was immediate organization of forces among colored associations interested in this cause, similar injustices would crop up in other codes, which would adversely affect hundreds of thousands of Nero workers.

I.L.D. Files Bill of Exceptions in Herndon Appeal
ATLANTA, Ga.—The bill of exceptions in the appeal to the Supreme Court of Georgia against the conviction and sentence to from 18 to 20 years on the gang gang handed down against Angelo Herndon, young Negro organizer of the unemployed, was filed July 11 by John H. Greer, young Negro attorney, who, with Benjamin J, Davis, Jr., is retained by the International Labor Defense in the case.
Last week Judge Lee B. Wyatt, refusing to grant a new trial to Herndon, and holding that the evidence against him, which consisted entirely of possession of working-class literature, was "sufficient to warrant the death penalty" set the date for filing of an appeal forward from the customary twenty days allowed in Georgia.
This rushing of the attorneys, on the excuse that the judge wanted a vacation, was obviously for the purpose of causing a default, which would enable the authorities to railroad Herndon to the chain gang to serve his sentence.

Three Recipes that Rice Lovers Will Like
Rice and Chicken Soup
Wash the rice and cook slowly in the chicken broth and water or milk. As soon as the mixture reaches the boiling point, add the onion and celery. Cook t he ingredients until tender. Remove the onion and celery, add the minced chicken, butter and seasoning and cook ten minutes longer. This will make five or six average servings.
Spanish Rice
Slice the onions and cook until tender and slightly browned in the melted fat. Remove them and add the rice, which has been washed and dried.
Cook the rice in the fat until it is browned, stirred constantly, then add the cooked onions, tomatoes and chopped green peppers and salt. Turn the mixture into a baking dish and bake until the rice and peppers are tender.

On the
Air
Paul Robeson will be heard on Rudy Vallee's Fleischman Yeast hour tonight at 7 o'clock.
During Mr. Vallee's broadcast last week he said he had talked with Mr. Robeson recently and was informed by Mr. Robeson that he listened to his programs regularly and enjoys his work on the air very much. At this time he suggested that Rudy should play and sing "Deep River." Rudy attempted to sing it but the spiritual of the Negro is not the type of song for him to sing.
Rudy Vallee appreciates good artists regardless of color.
Columbia gave radio listeners a real treat last Sunday evening when they picked up Professor James Mundy and his choristers for a quarter-hour from the Hall of Religion on the north lagoon at A Century of Progress.
The ovation that was accorded Professor Mundy by the work announcer was par with excellence. He related also how the professor was the first director to bring a Negro choir into the famed Orchestra hall here in Chicago fourteen years ago.
William F. Stevenson, chairman of the board of the Home Owners Loan Corporation, will discuss the plans of this new Federal agency over the WABC-Columbia network on Monday, July 24, from 7:15 to 8:30 p.m. The H.O.L.C. is an organization designed to help those debtors whose homes are burdened with mortgages they are unable to pay off. Like the farmers, home owners will be able to arrange easier payments and still remain in possession by cooperating with the H.O.L.C.
Chairman Stevenson, formerly a member of Congress from South Carolina, will face the microphone in the CBS studios at Washington. He is a member of the President's newly formed Executive Council.
Eva Taylor, heard in several programs each week over NBC networks, literally fell into a stage career. When she was only two years old, Eva was one of a number of colored children who were being looked over for a vaudeville act. Before it came her turn to perform, she fell down some steps leading to the stage and cut her head.
Afraid to cry, she tried to stifle the pain by hopping up and down, as a child will. The manager of the act, seeing her gymnastics, took it for granted she was dancing, and was impressed to the point of signing her up at once.
Late news bulletins report that the return of Duke Ellington has been set back to August. Following his third week at the Palladium, London, he plays four concert dates in Holland and then the weeks of July 21 and 28 at the Rex, Paris.
Present plans has the Ellington unit boarding the Majestic August 5 for the trip back.

BOYS ENJOY BIG WEEK AT CAMP
The boys at Camp Lichtman located in the George Washington National Forest, Shenandoah, Virginia, are having the time of their lives. The lads are hiking daily and the various groups are priming for the regular mid-period track and field meet. Director Lee W. Johnson announces that the meet is expected to surpass that of previous years.
One thing that is delighting the boys more than anything else is the fine athletic field upon which they stage their daily baseball tilts.
One of the most popular sports of the camp is swimming. The campers take their regular plunge with much delight. The Councilors, under the direction of "Fats" Walker are training their boys in preparation for the big tank meet. Last week's feature was a baseball game between the Biceps and the Gastrocnemius teams in which the two outfits battled to an eight all tie. The line-up for the two teams is as follows:

Prisons and Prisoners
ON PAROLING OF PRISONERS
Although I have only been in the free world a month (on the day this is written) I have already received many communications from readers of this "Prisons and Prisoners" column. These communications have been received from points in Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Tennessee, New York, Massachusetts, Maryland, Georgia, Louisiana, Kansas, Oregon and California. Some are from prisoners themselves; others from relatives of prisoners; and quite a few from readers of colored papers who are merely interested in the subject and have been followers of this column.
The majority of the letters, however, are written in the belief that I can give some magic advice that will result in others being given their freedom, and while I try to answer all letters as best I can, this release is sent out for the purpose and with the hope that it will explain to many of my readers just what is necessary to assist in securing the release of loved ones in prison.
Assuming that the prisoner is otherwise on the eligible list to receive parole consideration, most authorities during these times of universal change and depression are reluctant in releasing any prisoner until they have had, in writing some satisfactory assurance that the prisoner will not be forced back into illegal ways of making a living.
This assurance is secured in several ways, the most acceptable of which is the written promise of steady employment from a reliable employer; but such an assurance is now hard to get with thousands of free citizens in constant competition for every available job. Now and then a prisoner will possess some outstanding ability that will attract the eye of some favorable employer, but, unfortunately, the average prisoner is handicapped by the fact that he possesses little but a willingness to work at anything provided and a natural desire to secure his freedom under any circumstances.
The question then of securing some assurance of a job from a reliable employer becomes more or less a philanthropic problem to the employer, but indeed a worthy one if the reclaiming of men is of prime consideration. Relatives or friends of prisoners should first attempt to contact some reliable employer and gain in writing the promise of a job for that is the first and biggest step in securing the release of any prisoner and under almost any circumstances.
Assuming that there is no immediate job available, it is yet possible to aid prisoners in securing their releases if a promise in writing can be secured from some reliable citizen who will agree to become responsible for, morally and financially, the paroled prisoner until such time as he can shift for himself without having to resort to questoinable means of a livelihood or becoming a ward upon the community. This method also makes it necessary to contact individuals of a liberal, philanthropic disposition, unless—which is very rare—the prisoner himself has relatives of sufficient financial and moral standing to make their sponsorship satisfactory to the paroling officials.
Without considering extenuating circumstances, or the merits or demerits of the prisoner's parole application, it should be remembered by every friend or relative interested in helping the prisoner gain his freedom that one of the two above explained assurances MUST BE secured before the average prisoner can secure his release even after a parole is granted.
It is hoped that this article will help some prisoner, his relatives, or friends, to get started in the right direction toward securing that much valued and ever sought-after freedom.
It is better that we know "The Rock of Ages" than "the age of rocks."
Rich Gold Discovery Made by Colored Man in Colorado
Experienced Eye Induces Him to Dig Three Days; Rewarded by Big Find; Miners Swarm to Locality
COPPER GULCH, Col.—Because gray-haired Robert Hoard, colored, became lost on a mountain-side, there's a new stream of glittering gold and silver wealth flowing out of S.uthwestern Colorado. For forty-seven years Hoard scratched out of the mountains a scant living for himself and wife and their children. A few weeks ago "Old Bob," now 61 years old, left his family in Canon City and started toward Westcliffe, hoping to get an outfit of tools and supplies (a grubstake, the miners call it), as he been doing for years.

He took through the mountains a short cut which led into unfamiliar surroundings. The surface formations of the region caught his experienced eye, and the more he picked around in the rocks the surreer he was that he had found real "pay dirt" at last.
Ignoring hunger—he had brought along only meager provisions—Hoard stayed three days, digging. Satisfied, he gathered up a bag of ore samples and, half-starved, hurried back to Canon City.
His "nnd" was verified. "Old Bob" had hit rich gold. His samples assayed $80 a ton and more.
When his discovery became known, the trails to Copper Gulch swarmed with miners, and every foot of ground within several miles of Bob's "hole" was soon staked out

The Negro Worker and Industrial Codes
President of the Brotherhood of Dining Car Employees, in the New York Age.
Negro workers have no occasion to fear that they will have left out of the reckoning in the application of the provisions of the President's Industrial Recovery Act. They will fare infinitely better from the result of the efforts of the president of the American Federation of Labor on behalf of labor than could possibly be so with respect to the race presentations of Negro leaders and Negro professional uplift institutions.
The lines of demarcation provided in the Recovery Act are industrial, not racial. The thing is administered by President Roosevelt's representative, General Hugh Johnson. Labor is protected by the Labor Advisory Board, appointed by the Secretary of Labor, who sits with the board.
There should be a Negro on the board. That there is not is no fault of Secretary Perkins. All but two of the board are officials of the different international unions of the American Federation of Labor, entirely proper; forasmuch as there was no other organized labor group from which selections could have been made also. Those A. F. of L. officials on the Labor Advisory Board are white; but were not appointed as white persons. They represent the third generation of those who sweated, fought, bled and died for group recognition. Had they depended upon government, church, race, and bally-ho, as Negroes do, they and all labor would be still victims of the greed avarice, ruthlessness of organized industry—which isn't black
The "brain trust" of the board consists of Dr. Wolman, of Columbia, Father Haas of the Catholic Welfare Council, and Secretary Perkins. The only types of Negro fitted for such company—men like Dr. Chas. S. Johnson, of Fisk, or Dr. Charles H. Wesley, of Howard, probably could have been got in it, but the Afric Democratic leadership was chiefly concerned with getting "recognition for the race" through appointment of each of its personnel of four to some federal position.
The hopes for the restoration of business through the processes of the Recovery Act lie in adoption of codes for the several industries in conferences of the representatives of both groups. The miners' code would include all miners, among them several thousand Negroes—whether union or non-union.
President Green, of the parent Federation, and President Lewis, of the affiliated United Mineworkers' Union are right there to get the best possible conditions for miners, and they will apply to all.
Carter G. Woodson is the only Negro leader who ever was a miner. He is now self-supporting and engaged in another field. Need of race leadership putting the width of the continent between itself and the conference in which the Miners' Code shall be formulated and adopted is therefore appalling. And that goes for race leadership all way down the line, or up.
When the Seaman's Code is adopted, the terms got by President Green, will apply to all seamen, union and non-union; and it should not be forgotten that one of the astute A. F. of L. leaders is a Negro, David E. Grange, of the Seaman's International.
A goodly number of Negroes are longshoremen, members of the Federation of Labor's International Longshoremen's union, an international Vice-President of which is George E. Miller, of Norfolk, a Negro.
Yet, when the longshoremen's code is adopted, with President Green, of the A. F. of L., leading the battle for the very best terms to be got, it will apply to all—black, white, union and non-union. I do not like the American Federation of Labor. It has never been able to rise above the level of the

bickeringes and fatricidal strife of its International Unions, each sovereign in its sphere.
President Green has no more to do with the race discriminations of the several internationalists than has the editor of The Age; but he is individually bigger than their smallness, of statesmanesque calibre, and is struggling to rid the organization of its bias and itsisms.
When Mr. Green speaks in the conferences on adoption of the industrial codes he speaks for all labor because the act itself admits of no discriminations against groups or races.
President Green would have every laborer a union man in his craft sphere, regardless of race; the Negro leaders would "bureauize" all Negro workers within a race sphere regardless of craft.
What Green desires is practicable and probable, and what the race leaders want is impossible. Craft unions are organized from within, never from without; craft unionism is the only kind that has succeeded thus far in this country. They cannot be organized overnight. President Green therefore is a Negro laborer's "best bet," now.
British Brutality in
Africa Exposed
LONDON, England—(CNA)—Exposure of the brutal treatment and terrorization of natives in the British African colonies was forced in Parliament by the Welfare Association. The case of the public flogging of Victor Eulaka, a native tailor in Buruka, Northern Nigeria, for nonpayment of taxes was made the subject of interpolation in the Hous of Commons on the insistence of the Association.
The colonies' secretary was forced to admit the flogging but tried to shift the responsibility to the native chief of the village, who is also the government tax collector. The government made the usual promise of undertaking investigation, but at the same time, announced it would collect ten per cent more taxes from the impoverished natives.

Edisto Island Inhabitants Bury Man by Congo Tribal Rites
EDISTO ISLAND, S.C. (CNS)—He died a fighting man and didn't have time to pray, so his family buried him "cross the wold" just as his forefathers were buried in the muck lands of the Congo while the tom-toms rolled a requiem and the tribe wailed its songs of death. Edisto Gullah Negroes have never forsaken the ways of their ancestors and when a man died a violent death recently the old folks saw that the customs of his tribe were followed. He was a boxer. He worked his way up from back alley scrapes to a preliminary fighter, and, to the Gullahs, he was a hero. Death came to him in the ring. His body was taken to the seaside.
Strangers in those parts noticed later that the grave lay north and south instead of east and west, as most graves do. They noticed artificial flowers on the mound instead of bits of glass and broken bottles, orments dear to the Gullah heart.
Under the flowers was a tin can with a bit of red string attached. An old woman explained. The flowers were sent by city folks who admired the boy.
He was buried "cross the wold"—north and south—because he died a fighting man. And the can was his protection. He didn't have time to pray and the can—so says the Gullahs—will attract the slayer to the grave and then the spirit of the deceased can clutch the string and pull his enemy into the earth.

W. ERNEST JARVIS, head of the undertaking firm which bears his name, who celebrates the twelfth anniversary of the founding of the business Friday, July 21.
A suit arising out of an automobile accident and requesting a total of $25,000 damages was filed in the District Supreme Court, Monday, by Joseph Douglas 1508 Columbia Street, Northwest, against the Irving Cab Company, 2104 Fourteenth Street, Northwest.
The petition avers that one of the drivers of the fleet of cabs operated by the cab company carelessly struck the bicycle Douglas was riding, from the rear, at Tenth and P Streets, March 19. As a result Douglas claims he was thrown to the pavement and suffered serious physical and permanent injuries.
The victim also claims that he has undergone at least two operations at Freedman's Hospital where he has been confined since the accident, and it is not known whether or not he will be able to work again. Up to the time of the accident, Douglas says he earned $85 per month, which income has been cut off.
In a bill of particulars filed also, Douglas makes the following requests: $251 for hospital bill; $200 for physician; bicycle; $38; clothing which was damaged, 25; loss of earnings to date, $325; and $24-441 for permanent injuries, pain, and miscellaneous items.
He is represented by Mrs. Thelma D. Ackiss.

boss who would say a good word for him. Anxious that the $700 not slip her hands, yet suspicious, Mrs. Smith allowed the flam-flammer to lead her to the building at 921 Eighth Street.
After climbing to the third floor, the man struck Mrs. Smith in the chest knocking her down, following his blow with a kick, and fled out of the building.
With fears about the safety of her $100 in the man's possession, Mrs. Smith quickly arose and gave chase. Private Covell on duty in the vicinity, joined the woman and overtook the would-be flam-flammer in the yard of 711 I Street. The woman accomplice was arrested by Private Hayden a short while later.
They gave their names as: Dennis Daniels, 33, and Emma James, 28, both of 357 I Street. The $100 of Mrs. Smith's was recovered.
Isaac Tillman, 764 Irving Street, Northwest, reported to police of No. 10 Precinct Station, Sunday, that his 10-year-old daughter, Beatrice, was attacked by a dog in front of their home. The girl who was said to have been playing in front of her home, was knocked down by the animal. She was taken to Children's Hospital where she was treated by Dr. Alexander Simon for bruises of the left hip. Police reported that the dog is owned by Philander Washington, 752 Irving Street, and was unlicensed and unmuzzled.
WHITE OFFICER IS INDICTED AS ROBBERY HEAD
Two Colored Men Also Named as Accomplices in $185 Holdup
Accusations by the government that he planned the hold-up of a gas filling station at Sixteenth and Taylor Streets, Northwest, which netted the trio $185, caused Private John F. Patton, white, until recently of the Tenth Precinct, and his two alleged colored accomplices to be indicted by the grand jury. Wednesday.
James Mason and William Wood are the men who are said to have carried out the robbery under Patton's directions. The crime occurred on June 21, and the government contended that Patton drove Mason and Wood within a short distance of the gas station, where the robbery took place, then helped them to escape. Patton was arrested and suspended from duty after Mason, held in another case, was said to have confessed.
Chauffeur Accused
Other indictments turned in were two against Frank H. Van Buren, chauffeur, charged with grand larceny and embezzlement. He is alleged to have taken approximately $2,000 from a box belonging to George D. Horning, Inc., where he had been employed fifteen years.
One indictment charges him with stealing money from a box he was supposed to have delivered, and the other accuses him of having taken $1,115 from a box belonging to William E. Burke, of South Washington, Va., who had delivered it to the Horning Company.
Haitians Demonstrate Ability at Government, Says American White
NEW YORK—(CNS) Tha'i Haitians who have taken control of their government relinquished from American supervision last year have amply demonstrated their ability for self-government was the opinion expressed here last week by H. P. Davis, white, former secretary of the American Chamber of Commerce of Haiti.
Mr. Davis, who flew with the Haitian aviator, Captain Errol Boyd and Robert Lyon last month in the bellanca monoplane Columbia on the first-stop flight from New York to Haiti, returned here recently by steamship after an extensive tour of the island Republic.
"The public works department, the sanitary service and technical service are now completely Haitianized and are being admirably conducted," said Mr. Davis.
Eagerness to secure seven hundred dollars for the sum of one hundred dollars, came near costing Mrs. Agnes Smith, of 919 Howard Road, Southeast, some hard-earned money, Saturday, which was only saved after a chase and struggle with a flim-flammer and quick work by officers of the Fourth Precinct.
Mrs. Smith was at the corner of Eighth and G Streets, Southeast, when a strange woman approached and began to tell fantastic tales about finding a job for Mrs. Smith. As they were discussing the job situation, a male accomplice walked up with a wallet which he told the two women had dropped from a passing auto and contained $2,100.
The tricker offered to give each woman $700, but demanded $100 from Mrs. Smith as a sort of bond that she would keep mum about the find. With vignions of $600 profit, Mrs. Smith hailed a passing tab and went with the strange woman to her home where she secured the $100, which would entitle her to share in the small fortune.
Becomes Suspicious
When she returned to Eighth and G Streets, the male confederate was awaiting his prey. Mrs. Smith turned the $100 over to the man, but had some misgivings no sooner than she had done so. She asked the man to return her money. As he turned around the corner, she grabbed his coat to prevent further flight.
With promises to prove that he was all right, the man told Mrs. Smith he would take her to his

WIDOW WILL BUY MATE'S CLEANING BUSINESS
Justice Orders Property Sold to Mrs. Ella R. Foster for Sum of $165
A petition for authority to purchase the personal property, including the cleaning establishment of her late husband, Jesse Foster, located at 1937 Eleventh Street, Northwest, for the sum of $165, was filed in the District Supreme Court, Monday, in behalf of the widow, Mrs. Ella R. Foster, through Henry Lincoln Johnson, attorney.
The administrator of the estate of the deceased, Clyde C. Dalley, had formerly been authorized to sell the personal property for $250, the value set by the court appraisers. When it came to the attention of the administrator, however, that a Ford delivery included in the appraisal, had a lien on it, Mr. Dalley requested a revocation of the first order. This action was approved by Theodore Cogswell, register of will and Justice Luring ordered that the Ford's price be deducted and the property sold for $165. The court order declared that for this price, Mrs. Foster be allowed to buy the business including the good will, all fixtures, and paraphernalia belonging to the establishment, with the exception of the truck. Mrs. Foster's petition followed as a matter of legal procedure.
Mr. Foster died instate on July 14, 1982

Seeks to Have Peter Richardson Prohibited from Law Practice Here
Albert N. D. Brooks, 1700 block of Willard Street, Northwest, asked the District Supreme Court, Tuesday, to dismiss a quarter-million-dollar suit against him and four other defendants. The suit which was for the largest sum ever asked of a colored person in the District, was filed by Peter P. Richardson, attorney, who was convicted of false pretenses and sentenced to two years at Lorton Reformatory. Richardson has been paroled and claimed in his suit that Brooks, Mr. and Mrs. William Terrrell, 1260 Columbia Road; Joseph Holland, real estate dealer, 1901 Seventh Street; and Mrs. Syme L. Jennifer, notary public, 1243 New Jersey Avenue, all had perjured themselves and caused him to be sentenced to imprisonment.
Brooks, who is a teacher at Shaw Junior High School, is the first of the defendants to file an answer to Richardson's suit. He claimed that he testified truthfully when Richardson was being tried, before the grand jury, and before United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage. Richardson was convicted by a jury after it was testified that he switched a fee simple deed for a deed of trust in an action in which he loaned Brooks a sum of money. The property was owned by Mr. Terrell, brother-in-law of Brooks. Brooks also asks the court to force Richardson to pay the cost of the suit.

Mr. Schubert also says that of the fifty-six successful trans-Atlantic flights to date, forty-nine have been powered with Stanavo. No trans-Atlantic flight with Stanavo has ever failed, which is a remarkable performance.
This record of course speaks for itself.

Members of Local Bar Association "Abuse" National Pastime at Venice Beach; Teams Stop Playing by "Common" Consent, Members Exhausted
The Washington Bar Association held its annual outing at Venice Beach, adjoining Highland Beach, on the Chesapeake Bay, Saturday, July 15.
Some forty members and their wives and friends motored down to the beach during the forenoon. Those who did not carry picnic baskets with them ate at Ware's Hotel or at the home of some friend.
The day was replete with a variety of amusements: bridge, swimming, bathing (for Gus Gray), boating, hiking, dancing, spooning (Nick and Beaubian), and baseball.
baseball players of all shapes forms, sizes, and descriptions canvorted on the municipal diamond on this ideal Saturday afternoon as the lawyers of the District of Columbia abused the national past time.
After seven innings of assorted baseball—with occasional intermissions while all eyes looked for the lost ball—the players quit by common consent, induced by exhaustion.
The score was 24-23 or 23-24. Repeated recounts and check-ups have failed to determine which stade scored the 24 runs.
Those "stylish stouts," Dickie
Most honorable mention goes to Perry W. Howard for opening up his spacious home and making it the headquarters of the group, and to Mrs. Howard for her charming hospitality.
An excellent job was put over by the outing committee in arousing enthusiasm and making arrangements for the occasion. Memburs of the committee were: Nathan A. Dobbins, chairman; Frank Adams, George W. Peterson, Edward Howard, Thurman Dodson, Perry W. Howard, and Ollie M. Cooper.
Among those present other than baseball players and participants were Misses Lula Jackson and Eloise Fletcher, Mrs. Virginia Peters, Atty. and Mrs. A. W. Gray, Atty. and Mrs. E. W. Howard and son, Atty. and Mrs. Ambrose Shief, Atty. and Mrs. William A. Lee, Jr., Atty. and Mrs. Charles Toms, Atty. and Mrs. Louis R. Mehlinger, Atty. Armond W. Scott, Atty. Thela M. Dackiss, M. Grant Lucas, Perry W. Howard, Jr., and Henry E. Austin. Among those conspicuous by their absence were Attys, Ollie M. Cooper, Isadore Letcher, Thurman L. Dodson, Timothy W. Fisher, Charles H. Houston, and Domingo A. Lanauze.
The two teams lined up as follows:
Right Wing—Cigar Brown, Pete Tyson, Red Jefferson, Line Johnson, Kid Hayes, Nat Dobbins, Ike Lisembey, Mauve Clifford, Bee Vee Lawson, Banker Pollard.
Left Wing—Leffty Artis, Frankie Adams, Bill Hastie, Skee Brown, Eddie Lovett, Dickie Tompkins, Casey Coleman, Mal Daniels, Freddie French, Nel Nichols.
All of the fun and frolic, the big event of the day was the baseball game between the so-called Right and Left Wings. The game started promptly at 3 p.m., on an improvised diamond consisting of the "commons" and the Simmons's front yard.
The teams took their work-out in searching the community for a suitable space or spaces for use as a diamond. Everything ready, the game was on.

SEVEN ARE INJURED IN WEEK-END ACCIDENTS
Seven persons, including three youths, received injuries in auto accidents about the city Sunday.
Allie Vincent, 45, of 426 L Street, Northwest, knocked down by a taxicab on L Street, between Fifth and Fifth Streets, received numerous lacerations of the left forehead.
Running in front of an automobile, Audrey Broadnax, 7, of 1735 Tenth Street, Northwest, suffered burns and bruises about the body.
Struck by a machine at Fourth Street and Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, Billy Gray, 3, of 812 Fourth Street, Northwest, received a possible fracture of the skull.
The youth was detained at Freedmen's Hospital for further observation.

baseball players of all shapes, forms, sizes, and descriptions cavorted on the municipal diamond on this ideal Saturday afternoon as the lawyers of the District of Columbia abused the national pastime.
After seven innings of assorted baseball—with occasional intermissions while all eyes looked for the lost ball—the players quit by common consent, induced by exhaustion.
The score was 24-23 or 23-24. Repeated recounts and check-ups have failed to determine which side scored the 24 runs.
Those "stylish stouts" Dickie Tompkins and Nat Dobbins, gave great exhibitions of how third base should not be played. Home-run Lawson made the longest hit of the day. He also struck out the other two times at bat. The twirlers, Terrible Tyson and Frankie Adams, remained in the box because of lack of volunteers to replace them. Both teams played a "tight" defensive game.
"Larceny" and lesser crimes of umpiring were committed by Jedge Hill, Ben Gaskins, Will Houston, Ed Beaubian, and Jamie Eaton, who called the balls as they saw them, and whether they saw them or not. Judge Cobb, seated in the shade of the old apple tree was an appreciative spectator. Asked his opinion of the game, he replied: "Ben Gaskins should not have led trumps."
At the close of the game the two teams retired to the home of Maurice Clifford who served them refreshments while he launched his spacious family yacht. Only those member of the bar accompanied by their wives remained over for the dance Saturday night. Atty, Gus Gray, president of the bar association, was one of those who remained.
Struck on the left side of the face, early Monday morning, Ada Tate, 34, of 1248 Delaware Avenue, Southwest, was treated at Casualty Hospital for a possible fracture of the jaw. The woman told officers of the Fourth Prescinct that she had been struck by Morris Raymond, 39, of First Street, Southwest. She also declared her intentions of securing Raymond's correct address and seeking a warrant for him.
Jim Taylor's Detroit Stars have been strengthened considerably for the second half of the Negro National League and are playing whirlwind ball, both afield and at bat.

FIRESTONE LOSES BIG FIGHT IN LIBERIA
Englishman Wins $200,000 Damages from American Rubber Company
MONROVIA, Liberia (Special correspondence to ANP)—The civil suit of Peter Davidson vs. Firestone Rubber Corporation of Liberia ended during May in the circuit courts of Liberia. Judge Russell presided and awarded damages to Mr. Davidson to the amount of forty-five thousand pounds sterling, approximately $200,000.
Mr. Davidson, an Englishman, was formerly employed by the banking institution of the Firestone interests here in Liberia, and it is alleged that he was dismissed illegally because he was too friendly with the Liberian people. In cross-examination, Mr. Davidson said that there were certain blind-plots on the part of Firestone to usurp the remaining power and authority of the black Republic.
The defense made an appeal to the Supreme Court, which will make the second time that this case has been aired out in the highest judiciary body in Liberia. The case is of international interest, especially in Europe, and since the Supreme bench has recently been reorganized, no comment relative to the outcome can be made.
INTERNATIONAL LABOR DEFENSE ATTACKS N.A.A.C.P.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (ILD). Alarmed at the prospect of a mass defense to snatch Willie Peterson, tubercular Negro veteran, from the electric chair in which he is sentenced to die August 26, on a framed charge of murder, the white press of the South and the N.A.A.C.P. attorneys have joined hands to demand that International Labor Defense withdraw from the case.
Following announcement by the ILD, that it would rouse mass protest against the frame-up system which operates in Alabama against the Scottsboro boys, Willie Peterson, and hundreds of Negro and white workers, Walter S. Smith, N.A.A.C.P. attorney in charge of the Peterson "defense", issued a statement in Peterson's name demanding that no mass protest be made.
"It is highly improbable that Willie Peterson ever knew of the announcement of the I.L.D. or that he knew of Mr. Smith's statement," the L.L.D. Southern district office said. "Peterson knows that the L.L.D. has now four times saved the Scottsboro boys from the most determined efforts of the legal lynchers. He knows that mass protest has done this—unless his attorneys and the prison authorities have succeeded in keeping all knowledge of what goes on in the world outside his miserable cell from him."
The Williams murder, it was pointed out, was used as a springboard for a reign of terror against Negroes that was countrywide. It is estimated that at least seventy-five Negroes were murdered in Birmingham and Alabama as a result of the lynch incitement around this case by the police and newspapers, including the Chattanooga News.
It was the I.L.D., it was also pointed out, which in August of 1931 prevented the extradition to Alabama from Chicago of Elsina and Leroy Thompson who were proved to have been in Chicago on the day of the murder, but were "identified" by Nell Williams as her sisters' murderers, just as she later "identified" Peterson.
Liberator Editor Arrested Because Mistaken for White
Liberator Editor Arrested Because Mistaken for White
NEW YORK CITY (CNA) - Cyril Briggs, militant New York editor of the Liberator, was the center of a demonstrative incident in Harlem last week when he was arrested because he "looked like white" and was seen in company with a Negro woman.
According to testimony given before a magistrate last week, Briggs walked home with a woman member of his Staff, and upon reaching the house where his companion lived was accosted by a policeman who asked if he lived in the house. Upon telling the officer that it was "none of his business" a fight followed.
During a second hearing the magistrate dismissed the charges of "disorderly conduct" which had been placed against the Liberator head, but upheld the officer in carrying out orders that "white men seen with Negroes" are suspicious characters. The workers of the Liberator and their friends staged a demonstration in front of the court room before the case was heard.

Shorts was carried into 336 Clarks Court, and later removed to Gallinger Hospital for treatment. No bones were broken and his condition is not regarded as serious.
Elk Leader Repudiates Plan to Grab Convention for Chicago
Percy Ash, Head of Great Lakes Lodge, Says Soliciting of Funds to Entertain Grand Lodge Done by Irresponsible Persons
Vital Statistics
CHICAGO—(ANP)—P. Ash, exalted ruler of the Great Lakes Elks' Lodge, one of the three lodges in this city, denied emphatically here this week, that the Chicago lodge would entertain the grand lodge. His statement was made in face of the fact that solicitors have been visiting merchants and citizens soliciting support toward a guarantee fund.
"The grand lodge," said Mr. Ash, "voted to go to Indianapolis at the Atlantic City convention last summer. Chicago also bid at that time but the honor was denied. About two months ago the opinion of the grand exalted ruler was that Indianapolis could not deliver and he asked us to determine whether the session could be held here.
"A joint committee from all Chicago lodges, meeting with Past Grand Daughter Ruler Ellen Berry and District Deputy Harris B. Gaines met and declined because the expense was too great.
"Now who are these Elks attempting to make personal venture of the grand lodge?" I recognize only about four names in the list published last week in the Chicago Defender as active and financial Elks. Others are strangers.

"We do not wish to be put in the position of appearing before the country as attempting to deprive Indianapolis of its meeting after all the effort put forth and money expended. The lodges of Chicago have declined to entertain the grand lodge this year and are not responsible for the efforts put forth as recently published."
W. T. Brown, recently elected exalted ruler of Fort Dearborn lodge, declined to state whether in his opinion the Chicago lodges would seek to secure the grand lodge or whether it would meet here. "I would not contribute a nickel to bring the body here," he said in response to an inquiry about the current report that he had agreed to put up $1,000.
"I was drafted practically to head up Fort Dearborn," said Mr. Brown. "My election was not contingent in any manner upon the grand lodge's movement."
Mr. Brown did not care to comment upon the men who were soliciting support for the convention. He stated that Grand Exalted Ruler Finley Wilson was in Chicago in conference at this time but declined to reveal his stopping place. Efforts to locate Mr. Wilson failed.

Downingtown Students Work their Way
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa.—A visitor to Downingtown Industrial School might think at first glance that a summer session was in progress. After more careful inspection, however, he would find that the numerous boys and girls still at the school are busily engaged in various kinds of work by means of which they are earning money for an education.
To be exact, six girls and fourteen boys are "vacationing" at Downingtown. Evangeline V. James, commercial graduate in '32 and postgraduate student this past year, is serving her second summer as secretary hoping to pay her way to Hampton.
Esther C. Smith, commercial 33 also headed Hampton-wards, has temporarily denoted the apron to help with the canning. Under Mrs. Anna Spencer, of West Chester four other girls are engaged in this work—Ernestine Foust, Gladys Green, Mildred James, and Elizabeth Thompson.
Many Repairs Being Made
Colier C. Lewis, carpentry teacher, is heading up a gang which is bringing about many much-needed changes in the plant. Ray Ford, Oliver Nichols Robert Pollard, Eddie Washington, and George Whitherall have already remodeled the school's offices and an apartment for the new bride and groom. Principal and Mrs. Waring.
William Cox is school-chauffeur. In addition he is "general handyman"—cutting grass, trimming hedges, etc. Farm Manager Hayes has Lanky Taylor, Henry Tompkins, and Nat Crump to help him raise the 1933-34 crop of beans. Then there are some "summer boarders"—Pop Webster, Sam Taylor, Randy Range, John Reid, and Earl Pillard who act as chambermaids, cherry-pickers, grass-cutters, and what not. By doing odd jobs they pick up a little cash here and there.

Most of the information which was given to the writer is not for publication. I can state authoritatively, however, that Mr. Vann has not been appointed, and does not wish to be the spokesman for the Negro Democrats of the United States.
The gist of his replies to my questions in connection with his appointment and its significance may be had from a reprint of the statement which he made after he had taken the oath on July 7. He said:
"My appointment is proof positive that if the Negro does something for the Democratic party, that party will do something in recognition of him."
Mr. Vann will not bring his family to Washington.

Robert (ex-Commerce Dept.) Pelham was almost as much amused as John Risher, when I showed him a group photograph of the Republican leaders at the Executive Committee conference which was held in Washington, in September, 1928.
The amusing part is that Robert L. Vann and Joseph L. Johnson, who are now the two ranking members of the Democratic "Big Four," are shown in the group with Col. West A. Hamilton, Claude Barnett, John R. Hawkins, John T. Risher, Emmett J. Scott, Raymond Pace Alexander, Fred Moore and other stand-pat Republics. It is to laugh.

Karl (Labor Dept.) Phillips, who is Commissioner of Conciliation of the Department of Labor, seems unperturbed at the fact that Lieutenant Lawrence A. Oxley, of Raleigh, N.C., director of the division of Negro Welfare and Federal Relief in North Carolina, is moving heaven and earth to get his job.
I don't know Mr. Oxley personally but I do know Mr. Phillips. My friend, the sideler, tells me that Mr. Oxley is not so hot. I know Mr. Phillips is all right. We shall see, what we shall see.

Willis (War Dept.) Ward, who has just returned from Chicago, tells the Newshawk that the Howard University exhibits, consisting of a baloptician exhibit, is one of the most popular at the Century of Progress Exposition, World's Fair, there.
There are seventy slides of various activities of the University, along 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.
Mr. Ward brought back a gadget with a bed pan at one end and an automatic commode at the other and the statement "A Century of Progress" written in between. So it is.

John (State Dept.) Savage, who was dismissed with the writer from the State Department, says: "You can't keep a good man down." John now has a semicritical position in the Industrial Control set-up. I hope someone gets to him before he draws out his refund. If he leaves it in and pays his retirement quota into it each month he will be eligible for a retirement check-in two years for the rest of his natural life.
Since Colonel Donald H. Sawyer, who is expected to be continued as permanent director of the public works program, has said: "Every effort will be made to execute the Industry Recovery act without discrimination," the writer agrees with the N.A.A.C.P. which says: "Negro workers should register at once for these jobs in order that no alibis can be presented when the actual hiring begins."

The Washington Times, in an editorial last week, made some pertinent observations which I shall reproduce for those who missed it. Here it is:
"Thousands have been arbitrarily dismissed from positions which they had every reason to believe were safe during good behaviour "Heads of various agencies have determined upon those to be fired by no general rule, but simply, it seems, as the whim struck them. (Amen.) This policy of demoralization must cease and the man who can and should stop it is President Roosevelt. There is little sense in spending billions of dollars to put men and women to work while the government discharges thousands more, not only in Washington but throughout the country. "Unless all signs fail, President Roosevelt will move quickly and effectively to restore a humanitarian policy in the treatment of Government employees.
"The man who remembered the "Forpotten Man" and put him into
millions of jobs could not create another forgotten class. He has merely to give the word that when Government employees are dismissed from the old line agencies they are to be given first choice of the jobs in the newly created bureaus.
"That will solve the problem and will retain in the Government service trained and loyal men and women."

Morris (Congressional Library) Lewis's sister, Caro, recently sent the writer a letter telling all about the Negro Youth Conference which was recently held in Chicago where she now is.
Among other things she said:
"Some of the problems considered were lynching, education, the economic inequality of the Negro peoples, the church, crimes, imperialism, and discrimination and disfranchisement.
"Although no particular political philosophy was adopted, the use of mass technique and the question of race consciousness versus national patriotism was discussed.
"The meeting closed with speakers from the Communist, the Socialist, the Republican and the Democratic parties."
The writer agrees, in part, with Ishmael P. Flory, who, in reporting the Conference for the ANP, says:
"The conference, in the writer's mind, throws itself open to criticism in that it refused to sit 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."
The writer has not, as yet, gotten his organization credentials. We Washingtonians will show the colored folks in Chicago what an International Negro Youth Movement should be. (If I am here.)
The Post Office clerk, who is telling folks confidentially that Melvin Chisum, through Senator McAdoo, is going to place Tom Smith, in the office which "Billboard" Jackson had, is all wet. The Newshawk knows what is going to happen to that office but his tongue is tied for the time being.
* * * *
Dr. D. A. Williston is anxious to learn the name of that Treasury employee who told the Newshawk that when Mr. Farley came out of his office Williston said: "You know me, don't you, Mr. Farley?" This employee wondered why a man who had set up a national organization would have to ask the administrative assistant of his party if he knew him. The doctor told the Newshawk that it was not true.
The Newshawk wonders whether that postal clerk, whose car is frequently seen parked on R Street, Northwest, and who was recently embarrassed by having his wife meet his girl friend at the latter's house, knows that he is slated for the spot? Well he is.
Reported intentions to reinstate lower-paid Government employees who have been dismissed under the married persons clause developed the fact that the Economy Act, definitely in some cases and inferently in others, forbids such appointments.
Section 213 of that act, the married persons clause, provides for prior dismissals of employees whose wives or husbands are also in Federal service, and further requires that in appointments to the "classified service" preference shall be given to persons whose wives or husbands are not governmentally employed. So much for that.

Some of Uncle Sam's sepia sons are receiving pure and particular unadulterated hell at the hands of practically all departmental personnel officers. So help me. I know where I speak.
Some say that the rating boards are usually dominated by Democratic influence and that a concerted prearranged effort is being made to dismiss Negroes holding first grade jobs so that their jobs might be filled by white "deserving Democrats."
Others say that certain reductions had to be made and the white bureau and division chiefs are availing themselves of a good opportunity to freeze out "smart" Negroes.
Still others say that the $5,000 to $10,000 boys, who usually control these departmental rating boards, rather than accept a 9-to-90-day fourlough themselves—along with the rest of the personnel (which would be the human thing to do) met and decided to deprive some score or more of poor devils, making $1200 or less, of jobs (usually those who are persona non grata to them), balance their bureau or division budget and at the same time retain all of their fat salaries.
The writer contends that what is happening is a combination of the three aforementioned factors with especial emphasis on "getting" the independent and seemingly prosperous Negroes, knowing that the registered Democrats a
NORTH CAROLINA FRAME-UP HALTED BY THE I.L.D.
Win Sixty-Day Reprieve for 18-Year-Old John Edwards
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (ILD)—Winning of a sixty-day reprieve for John Lewis Edwards, 18-year-old Negro boy framed on a murder charge and railroaded to a death sentence is the first victory of the International Labor Defense in a campaign to save his life and expose the legal lynchings which have become the order of the day in both North and South Carolina.
Edwards was indicted, tried and convicted in 72 hours, for the murder of W. Brown, a white street car, motorman, who was killed Saturday night, March 9. He was sentenced to die July 7.
There were no witnesses to the murder. No money was stolen. Two shots were fired, one of which hit Brown in the head, killing him instantly.
A white woman told a newspaperman that two white men ran past her and told her not to go near the scene.
Forty-five minutes later, another motorman, on another street car line, shot and killed a Negro named Winifred, who was on his way to work. Police refused to permit the body of Winifred to be taken to the hospital in a private ambulance, and ordered the undertaker to whom it was taken after they had taken it to the hospital themselves, not to let anyone see it. It was discovered, however, that Winifred's face showed signs of terrific beating. The motorman said Winifred and two other Negroes tried to hold him up, and the police closed the case.
Had to Be Negroes
The Southern Public Utilities offered $1,000 reward for the capture and conviction of the murderers of Brown, and police announcing that the murderers were Negroes, set their frame-up machinery to work. During the two months following more than 100 Negroes were picked up on the street, taken to the police station, accused of the murder of Brown or being the companions of Winifred, and third degreed. Many more Negroes were beaten up on the streets of Charlotte.
Shortly after the crime, three Negro boys, Earl Rattarce, 14, Featherstone Mandelhall, 16, and Edwards, were picked up like the others, beaten, held for four or five days and then turned loose.
A few days later Edwards was arrested on a trumped up charge of stealing cigarettes and sent to the chain gang for a year.
Wednesday night, May 17, police kidnapped Mandellah at 3 o'clock in the morning, took him out to the chain gang where Edwards was, asked Mandellah if he knew Edwards. When he said he did, they took both back to Charlotte, and charged them with the murder of Brown. Rattaree was also arrested and held as a material witness. Mandellah
Next day, Thursday, Mandelhall and Edwards were indicted.
Asked for Mercy
Friday they were tried by an all-white jury.
Saturday the jury acquitted Mandelhall, found Edwards guilty, and recommended mercy.
Monday, Judge Ogelsby sentenced Edwards to die in the electric chair July.7.
"Confessions" the police said they had extracted from the boys were the only evidence produced.
J. D. McCall, white lawyer appointed by the court to "defend" Edwards and Mandelhall, produced no witnesses, accepted the police story entirely, and asked "for mercy."
During the trial, the International Labor Defense called on the lawyers, who said a notice of appeal would be filed and a stay of execution obtained while the I.L.D. would prepare a case.
Witnesses were found who can prove that none of the boys were near the scene of the crime. The lawyers appointed by the court deliberately refused to make use of this defense.
No appeal was filed.
Learned from Papers
"All. I know about the case is what I read in the papers. I don't know if an appeal was filed or not." McCall told LL.D. representatives.
The International Labor Defense obtained the services of Conrad O. Pearson, of Durham, N.C., an attorney who re-opened the case by obtaining a filing application for a reprieve. The indignation of the Negro and white workers of Charlotte was organized into mass protest by the LL.D., and the reprieve won.
The sixty days reprieve obtained will be used to further organize on a mass basis the campaign to save Edwards's life, while legal steps are taken around which the campaign will be built.

COAGE'S OFFICE HAS THREE NEW IMPROVEMENTS
Records Covering 100-Year Period Can be Found in 5 Minutes
By E. W. Baker
A new system of indexing corporations records in the recorder of deeds office, superseding the one established in 1868, now makes it possible to search a corporation for a period of 112 years in five minutes.
Under the old system, such a process would require hours or days in which to make a tracing. The new system was installed by Jefferson S. Coage, recorder, after a long period of analytical study of the situation, and has been praised by patrons of the office.
According to Mr. Coage, in changing the systems, many duplications, or corporations with the same name were found. This is a violation of the corporate laws of the District, and has been eliminated by the installation of the new system. The change entailed no extra expense upon the public funds.
Government Saved $4,000
Under the reorganization plan, another progressive step has also been made in the recorder's office, which has saved the government $4,000. The old copying and comparing departments have been abolished, and in the new organization are replaced by the Copying and Comparing Unit. There is one head and two assistants.
Have Merit System
A third step has been the inauguration of the merit system, under which each employee keeps a record of his own work. At the end of the year, each certifies as to the amount of service he has rendered.
Figures recently made of the recorder's office reveal that it had handled 25,807 realty papers at the end of the fiscal year, June 30, an increase of 700 over the previous year; 29,960 titles, increase of 300; incorporations recorded, 541, increase of 33; certified copies, 909, decrease of 33.
The records also showed that the revenue of the office this year was $85,000, as compared with $93,000 the previous year; appropriation, $100,000, last year, $136,500; miscellaneous office expense, $10,000, last year, $12,000.
The seven-story building rente
for $14,000 last year, but Congress
appropriated only $10,000 for rent.
Mr. Coage succeeded in getting the
owners to accept, that amount,
hence the office will not have to
seek new quarters.

Trials and Anxieties of a Baseball Coach
By CATO W. ADAMS
In recounting some of the freak and unusual plays seen in high school games, I want to first pay tribute to the boys that made up the respective two teams, Dunbar and Armstrong, in the first game played on the "embryonic" stadium, April 29, 1926.
Some of my readers may recall that parts of houses still stood, telephone poles, trees, stumps of trees, furrows, ditches, jagged piles of brick—well, if simultaneously, an air raid from bombing planes, a creeping barrage from siege guns of heavy artillery, and deep laid subterranean mines went into action, the war-like combination would have been indeed very envious when it found how far it was behind the frightful condition of that field on this day.
The stadium "rescue squad" did its best—but what could "best" mean under those conditions? But it was a great novelty to play in "The Stadium."
These are the starting line-ups that will always hold my respect: For Dunbar—Middleton, third base; Boyd, left field; Williams, center field; Johnson, center field; H. Robinson, first base; S. Brown, catcher; Snowden, pitcher; Wilson, second base; Tate, right eld.
Armstrong — Sonny Robinson, third base; Carter, short stop; Dabney, left field; Mavritte, center field; Wallace, right field; Ford, first base; Scott, second base; Frank Johnson, catcher; Bailey, pitcher.
The game was one of those "wotta game" affairs with both pitchers fearful of bad bounders and "breaks" going against them. At that, Armstrong made but three errors and Dunbar only one. It was reserved for Dunbar's half of the ninth—nine innings were played in those days—to see freak conditions. "Speed" Bailey had held Dunbar to a 5-2 score, and none of the Dunbar runs were earned—the three errors being costly. Bailey got H. Robinson in the ninth for the fourteenth strike-out victim, but Sherman Brown landed on one that went in the direction of Robinson at third, struck a root, bounded at a sixty-five degree angle and passed between shortstop Carter and the middle sack.
Snowden hit one toward short, and as Carter started to his left the ball sought a little furrow and passed under a little bridge made by some trash. The shortstop and third baseman felt that the ball had become tangled there, but it wounded up in left field. Brown scored on the play. A pinch hitter for Wilson made Bailey's fifteenth strike-out victim. Tate up, spanked one toward the interval between Robinson and Carter. Both started to a spot to head of the course of the ball. This time the ball stuck dead in some soft earth. Middleton came up next and hit a fairly slow groundward toward that vulnerable space—that between third and short.
Robinson and Carter played it very much in the same way that a safety man plays a shifty and slippery hip ball carrier. Each of these infielders slightly off balance, waited for something that did not happen—because this special roller happened to be as well behaved a grounder as one would want to find on any field, and it continued to left.
This scored another run, and Dunbar was but one marker behind. But Jack Boyd, good old Jack, obliged by becoming Bailey's sixteenth victim, and Armstrong got credit for the first victory staged at the Walker Stadium by a 5-4 score.
Another freak occasion was in May, 1931, on the Monument Grounds, in a game that Armstrong did not expect to win from the Bureau of Engraving. Hank Williams was mostly responsible for this 4-2 victory for Armstrong. Armstrong made but two hits, both homers, and each following a base on balls. Welbourn Wilson hit the first and Hank the second. In order to protect this 2-ball lead Hank was extending himself to the extreme. In Bureau's sixth the first two hit and stole second and third, respectively. The third batter hit a terrific clout that soared

high and mighty as Amos Brooks in center started to chase it, and then seemed to lose his bearing. He stopped, looked bewildered, and started backing with short quick steps with his face toward the diamond. As the ball started to descend, it was plain to see that it would fall behind Brooks, so the base runners left their bases without fear.
It may be a secret of Brooks's, but when the ball struck his hands, they were locked over his shoulders, and as near down to his waist as his tensed muscles could possibly allow—an amazing position. When he turned, all present thought that he was chasing the ball, but this was to get in position for return throw.
Everyone except Williams seemed to have been petrified. Players and spectators stood agast. Hank took the return, and all the members of the infield went dead from their gums, "north." Mr. Hank had to go over and touch third, and then march to second and kick it.
Now, folks, look anywhere and inquire to see if a centerfielder and a pitcher have ever completed a triple play with no other help.
In his final release of this series of articles, Mr. Adams will cite a few more unusual plays, including an inning in which seven lusty hits, including a double and two triples accounted for only one run. He will also risk naming an all-star high school nine from players of the last decade.

EVERY FIBER
EVERY CORD
EVERY PLY IS
BLOWOUT
PROTECTED
BY Gum-Dipping
BLOWOUTS are caused by frictional heat generated in the fibers of the cotton cords in a tire. Firestone is the only tire built with every cotton fiber saturated and coated with pure rubber—to prevent destructive heat. This is one of the reasons why Firestone Tires have been on the winning cars in the 500 mile Indianapolis Race for 14 consecutive years—the world's most severe blowout test. Rubber has gone up 242%, cotton 115%—substantial tire price increases must follow. We will give you an attractive alliance for your old tires on new Firestone High Speed Tires.

Chicago School Retrenchment
Will Cripple Colored Schools
Several Negro Teachers Likely to Be Dropped in Non-
Academic Departments; Two Physical
Education Instructors to Go
CHICAGO (ANS)—According to
reports from the offices of William
J, Bogan, superintendent of schools.
more than 1,400 persons, or 10 per
cent of the Chicago teaching staff,
will lose their positions through
the sweeping reductions ordered
this week by the school. trustees.
This will be resorted to in order to
comply with the $5,000,000 econo-
my program adopted by the school
board last Wednesday.
‘The method of eliminating in-
structors in the departments of
household arts, manual training,
physical education, kindergarten,
band leaders, and others, will af-
fect a great number of colored
teachers.
In abandoning completely the
junior high school instruction, pu-
pils in the seventh and eighth
grades will be returned to their
elementary schools to fill hundreds
‘of vacant rooms.
Colored Schools Burdened

IS REPRIMANDED

west, admitted when he was haled
before Inspector Lamb last week
that he forced Charles B. Murray,
2585 Georgia Avenue, a taxicab
driver, to buy a §1 ticket to a ball
game.
Following the hearing béfore
the inspéctor, Overstreet stated
that he would give Murray the dol-
Jar back on the first pay day,
Murray reported to A. 8. Pinkett,
local secretary of the National As-
sociation for the Advancement of
Colored People that the officer
stopped him and insisted that Mur-
ray buy a ticket to a policemen’s
benefit baseball game.

OFFICER MISSES FISHING
TRIP BUT CATCHES
FUGITIVE, 16
Sergeant Robert M, Carroll, vet-
eran police officer of the Fourth
Precinct, started out on a fishing
‘trip to Eagle Harbor, Md., Sun-
day, but he did not reach his des-
tination—and js he angry?
‘The story of the officer's failure
to have that fishing trip, for which
he had planned one whole week, is
‘related here briefly. | Shortly be-
fore reaching T. B,, Md., a speed-
ing coupe, driven by a youth, side-
swiped Sergeant's Carroll's auto-
mobile, badly damaging both ma-
chines.
Detaining the boy. until Mary-
land state. police arrived, it was
discovered the boy was "Frances
Washington, 16, who had escaped
from the National Training School
Saturday morning, and that the au-
tomobile he was driving had. been
stolen. According to police rec-
ords, it is the property of H. R.
Gray, of 2230 Minnesota Avenue,
Southeast.
Despite the fact he was instru-
mental in apprehending a fugitive,
Sergeant Carroll, who js usually of
a jovial disposition, grumbles when
he talks about the fish he might
hhave caught, barring the accident.
‘Then, too, there's the little item of
damagex to his automobile, which
has set him in arrears for approxi-
mately $50. _

Two Instructors To Go
In tho slashing in half of the
physical education department
probably two colored instructors
will be included. Walter Dyett,
band leader at Phillips Senior High
School, is certain of losing his job.
When asked what effect the dras-
‘tic cut would have on his position.
Benj, H, Mosby, athletic director
jat Phillips, said that since he was
mainly in the social sci¢nce depart-
ment and that coachng was in ad-
dition, he would just be- relieved of
extra curricula activities.
Being the only Negro coach in
the Chicago high school system,
he has become increasingly popu:
lar with school board officials. Re-
cently, he was appointed chairman
of the board of control, the body
that makes out the schedule charts
of all athleties for the Chicago
achools.

JARVIS COMPANY CELEBRATES 12th ANNIVERSARY
The W. Ernest Jarvis Funeral Company is fortunate in being awarded the United States Government's contract for the burial of soldiers and sailors again this year. Coming at this time, the occasion of the firm's twelfth anniversary, the award constitutes a most opportune anniversary present.
Beginning with a small business in 1921, the establishment has been built up to be one of the city's largest. The spacious funeral home located at 1432 U Street, Northwest, is modern in every de-
tail. Besides the business office, a chapel with a seating capacity for 150 persons and two large parlores are on the first floor. The chapel is equipped with a piano and pipe organ for funeral purposes. Amplifiers which carry the music to all the rooms on the lower floor have been installed.
On the second floor, three show rooms where caskets of every size and type are displayed and a private room for out-of-town guests are found. The garage in the rear of the home will house 20 cars and has sleeping quarters on the second floor which are used by those employees who care to use them.
15 Staff Members
A staff of 15 people including five women are employed at the establishment. Four of these employ-

career and known as the "Gymnasium Champion," could outbox any of the fighters he met in training quarters. In the ring, however, before a crowd he was too tender hearted to put across the punches that might have brought him pugilistic renown.
He trained almost all the most famous heavyweights from the time that Joe Choynski prepared for his fight with Peter Maher at the old Broadway Athletic Club. He worked with Jim Corbett, Bob Fitzsimmons, and "Gunboat" Smith and helped to introduce Jim Jeffries to the New York public.
Jeffries was to fight two men in the same ring on the same evening. Steve O'Donnell, a widely known heavyweight, was one, and Armstrong was selected the other.
