W. T. Chappelle Says that Coroner Stated Death Was Due to Poison
William T. Chappelle, Sr., 2008 Second Street, Northwest, filed suit for $10,000 against the District government, Monday, charging that his 12-year-old son, William T. Chappelle, Jr., died as a result of negligence of District health officers.
The boy died last August 7 at Gallinger Hospital where it is alleged a certain injection were given him although the boy was said to be well and healthy by the father.
Mr. Chappelle who is represented by Attorneys Augustus A. Gray and Thurman L. Dodson, claimed that the District coroner performed an autopsy on the body of the boy and stated that death was due to the poison.
Says Boy Was Not Ill
The petition states that the boy was sent to the Industrial Home School on June 20, 1932, on complaint of his mother. This school is maintained by the District, for incorrigible boys. It is alleged that on August 1 of the same year the boy was sent to the health department without the consent of his parents although he was not ill or had been ill.
It is averred that the superintendent of the Industrial Home School permitted the boy to go to the clinic of the health department where a certain arsenious solution was injected into his body and he was brought back to the school. On August 3 a second injection was made. It is claimed that these injections were given negligently and inexpertly.
Combat Poison
After the second injection the boy became worse and was taken to Gallinger Hospital where he was subjected to a rigorous therapy in an effort to counteract the arsenical poisoning. It is claimed that these injections were given in the wrong place and without proper preparation.
Mr. Chappell, told the court that he has been out of work for some time and is the father of three other children.

Rev. Winston Hill Says His Statement Didn't Have Reference to Evangelist
The Rev. Winston B. Hill, pastor of the Northeast Baptist Church, who, last week, charged that Elder Lightfoot Micheaux, radio evangelist, was an "insidious menace" during a speech at the Baptist Ministers' Conference meeting at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church, early this week, denied that he also called the elder "a devil."
In a statement to a Tribune reporter, Monday, the Rev. Mr. Hill said that his statement that "the devil is stealing many of the church members and money, too," didn't have any reference to Elder Michaux, but to the many evil influences in the city which lure the church members away from church.
Another group of ministers, led by the Rev. G. Z. Brown declared that there are no members of the conference who are in sympathy with the activities of the now famous radio evangelist, and that none attempted to speak in behalf of the elder at last Monday's meeting. He explained that the pastors who rose in opposition to the Rev. Mr. Hill's speech were not attempting to speak in Elder Michaux's behalf, but were desirous of having the discussion ruled out because it was a foreign matter and, constitutionally, should not be discussed in a conference meeting.
Elder Michaux is the "Happy Am I" evangelist who conducts open-air services at the American League baseball park

C.

He states that cars have been known to have to park as much as a hundred miles out of the city and other means of transportation resorted to in order to get to the Exposition grounds. "In order to render a satisfactory service direct to the Exposition" he adds, "we are running an excursion over the Pennsylvania R.R. leaving Washington on Monday evening at 6 o'clock, August 21st, going direct to the convention returning by Chicago for a day on Friday."

Rover Blames Lawyer Houston for Whitewashing Brutality Case
President of Civic Associations Wants to Know Why Attorney Advised Washington Not to Prosecute Third Degree Charge
Emma Washington, 12-year-old girl, died at the Howard Playground swimming pool, Wednesday afternoon after a two-and-a-half hour battle by the five rescue squad and Dr. H. C. Beldon, of Freedmen's Hospital staff, to save her life.
According to a statement by Irving Parker, 240 Bryant Street, he was passing on the outside of the enclosure surrounding the pool when his attention was attracted by two small girls who were yelling that someone was at the bottom of the pool. Over 100 children were in the pool at the time of the accident.
Parker's Heroism Futile
Parker said he did not take time to pull off his clothes, but plunged into the water and brought the girl to the surface and laid her on the concrete beside the pool. The fire rescue squad was summoned and an ambulance from Freedmen's Hospital. The girl was pronounced dead by Dr. Beldon. Theodore Chambers is head life guard at the pool. Other guards are his brother, Edward Chambers, and Thomas Hughes. Christine Dickens, 14, 2121 Fourth Street, was the first to see Emma on the bottom of the pool, according to Miss Daisy Pierce, director of the playground.
Had Been Eating Apples
Miss Olga Milton, 524 T Street,
swimming instructor at the pool,
told a Tribune reporter that she
had just left Emma to go to the
far end of the pool when her at-
tention was attracted by the cries
of Christine. Miss Milton said Emma
had been eating apples just be-

was no doubt caused by other causes

before her death.

Prosecute Third
United States Attorney Leo Rover placed the blame of the alleged attempted whitewash of the beating of Thomas B. Washington by two Third Precinct detectives directly on the shoulders of William L. Houston, counsel for the 23-year-old youth, who said he was brutally beaten by Joseph W. Shimon and W. V. Christian, detectives at the station, last week.
George W. Beesley, president of the Federation of Civic Associations, demanded a full investigation of the alleged third degree in a letter to the United States attorney.
In reply Mr. Rover stated:

That Thomas B. Washington was beaten by a friend at the Third Precinct for his alleged "squealing" to police, and not by Detectives J. W. Shimon and W. V. Christian both white on Washington's complaint, was the trend of the officers' defense before the Police Trial Board, Wednesday. For five hours, Robert Ford, white, defense counsel, Robert E. Lynch, white assistant corporation counsel and William L. Houston, Washington's attorney, wrangled over legal points or merellessly grilled witnesses before the hearing was continued until Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock.
Just prior to the close of the hearing, the defense placed two white youths on the stand, arrested in a shooting scrape at Nineteenth and K Streets, several weeks ago, lodged in Third Precinct cells at the time of the alleged beating of Washington by the two detectives. Through them, Stanley Petrone and Andy Adelizze it attempted to establish that Washington had been beaten by Raymond Pearson another youth arrested with him.
Original Complainant Free
Washington and Pearson were arrested on charges of joyriding when they were found riding in an allegedly stolen automobile which was found in their possession. Washington, who made the complaint of the beating, and afterward refused to testify, is now out on $300 bond, while Pearson, who claims he saw the officers strike Washington is still held. When Washington originally complained, the last week in July, he was taken to Emergency Hospital under orders of Inspector Thaddeus Bean and Captain William Kelly of the Third Precinct. He was later taken to Gallinger Hospital upon their orders for further observation.
The hearing moved off slowly

is ready at any time to issue a warrant in his behalf. His story is corroborated by certain circumstances, but as you probably know by now, Washington, both verbally and in writing has refused to prosecute either of these policemen, stating to me in writing that he is making this request after due reflection and upon advice of his counsel, William L. Houston.
Mr. Beasley wrote to Attorney Houston Tuesday demanding to know why the officers were not prosecuted. In his letter, Mr. Beasley said: "If there is no duress and no promise of reward from any person or officer, what has taken place?"

U. Street Station Officers Suspended Following Charge of Brutality
POLICE RELEASED UNDER $500 BOND
Mahoney Says Policemen Used "Iron Claw" in Squeezing Arm
The agonizing cries of a prisoner in the Second Crescent Station aroused U Street, Tuesday, about noon, and after an investigation by The Tribute, George Mahoney, 19-year-old youth, 2422 Virginia Avenue, Northwest, told a story of police brutality that added to the already deep indignation of citizens growing out of so-called third degree methods here.
The cries of the youth brought a crowd of approximately 100 to an alley next to the station. This alley is between the station and The Tribune building. The yells came from an up-stairs window of the station house and attracted the attention of the workmen in the composing room of The Tribune. Dark shades of the window were drawn, but the lower saah was raised. The cries could be heard for over a block.
Claims Mental Case
C. Leslie Frazier, proof-reader for The Tribune, called the attention of Lieut. Leuten, commander in charge, to the cries. The officer replied that the prisoner was a mental case, and gave permission for him and other members of The Tribune staff to investigate.
On reaching an up-stairs rear room a door was opened and an officer rushed from the room apparently concealing something. Seated at a desk was Mahoney with another officer. The youth was crying and rubbing his wrist. He pointed to an abrasion on his arm which showed signs of swelling and told a reporter from The Tribune that the officer that had rushed from the room and been beating him and had used an "iron claw" on his arm.
The officer in the room denied the accusation and stated that the boy was yelling because he was being questioned in connection with a house-breaking at the Hamburger Grill in the 1200 block of U Street. The alleged crime was committed Sunday night.
Officers Suspended
A reporter for The Tribune immediately telephoned the office of Major Ernest Brown, superintendent of police, who dispatched Inspector L, I, H. Edwards to the scene. A call to United States Attorney Leo Rover's office brought Assistant United States Attorney Milford F. Schwartz, who has been prosecuting brutality cases involving policemen.
Mahoney told reporters he was very much sane and denied the allegation of Lieutenant Leuten that he was insane. The boy also pointed out Policemen Frank Ashley and Charles C. Williams as the two officers who were heating think before his nieces brought reporters and Inspector Edwards.
Mahoney was immediately ordered sent to Freedman's Hospital by Mr. Schwartz, where an examination showed he had a bump on his head and abrasions on his wrist. The two officers were ordered suspended by Inspector Edwards. Mr. (Continued on page 2)

12 Self-Appointed Saviours of Sinful Washington Hold Sway
Evangelists See Good Pickings Here as Many Groups Representing all Sorts of Creeds Hold Nightly Services Under Tents and in Houses
By A. MANTEL CARTER
No less than a dozen-evangelists each a "Divine Father" to his little troop of followers, have converged on Washington within the past three weeks in an effort to bring the Light of Salvation to sinful Washington.
many of whom are curiosity seeker., gather to watch the demonstrations.
EAST ARLINGTON
EAST TKLINGTON.—Mt. Zior
No matter how dubious you may be about the holy claims of each, regardless of what you may believe about their real affiliation with the Great Jehovah, certain facts are apparent. First, each has convinced his small band of followers, sometimes called "members," that he is the true disciple from God and that all things that are pure and holy are embodied in his words; second, each has his own unique and attractive style of conducting services, and third, that the followers of the evangelists, 75 per cent of which are women and in some cases of both races, are usually persons of the lower economic class.
Practically All are Alike
Although the services are conducted from a different point of view in each case, they have some things in common. For instance, the demonstration usually opens with a hymn, which, in most cases, is played with a jazzed-up rhythm, the like of which you have doubtless heard in a night club; this is followed by a soul-stirring prayer from some member of the evangelistic party, and then, the evangelist, himself, mounts the rostrum and gives the congregation his "message from God." All during his preaching, hallelujajs, amens and various other sponta.cious expressions of religious approval emanate from the manning mass of humanity. In extreme cases, some of the fynnine followers express their feeling of the spirit by jumping to their feet and shooting until almost exhausted.
Services Held in Tents
During the hot summer days, the services are being held in tents scattered throughout the city. However, several evangelists are still holding forth in improvised tabernacles.
Besides the famous Henry family, the father, J. I., and his sons, J. L., W. W., O. J. and N. G., who have recently concluded a 14-day revival at the Jerusalem Baptist Church and the Rey Major Divine, who accompanied by his caravan off fifteen followers, twice invaded the city, five other colored and one white evangelist are at present conducting such religious services at various places in the city.
The Rev, William O, Jones, elder of the Church of Christ of Ecclidown, Pa., and Paul McKeeley, white evangelist for Churches of Christ of Howard, Pa., have been holding tent meetings in the 1800 block of Vermont Avenue for the past three weeks. Services closed at this tent last Sunday night and the two evangelists returned to their homes in Pennsylvania. Inter-pacial audiences have been attending services at this tent.
Another Lord Saver
Every Sunday has been marked by a special communion service. The Rev. Mr. Mackey, who stated that he was traveling the country over to “bring the Bible back to the people” preached Monday night of last week on “What the Church Stands for and What it has a Right to Expect of its Members.” Hardly more than three blocks away, the Rev. O. D. Henry, evangelist from Cleveland, Ohio, (not related to Henry Brothers) is conducting what he terms “an old fashioned religious campaign” at an open-air tabernacle located at Tenth and V Streets, Northwest. The “Seven Seals” was his topic last Tuesday night.
Wellding eastward to Second and W Streets, the reporter found another tent where the Rev. J. D. Snoot of East St. Louis, III, is holding forth.
Two in Southwest
In Southwest Washington, two evangelists are competing for the privilege of saving the souls of the sinful. One, Bishop K. H. Burruss of Atlanta, Ga., holds forth under a tent located on G Street near Four-and-a-half Street. Bishop Burruss has an assistant, the Rev. C. R. Mickens, well known evangelist from New York City. Services at this church, known as the Bethlehem Holiness Church of God, are featured by the singing by the Washington Junior Choir, composed of 18 members, and the individual testimony of its members who stand during intervals and voice their claim to sinfulness. One of the favorite songs of this choir is "Happy Am I," a hymn made famous by the Elder Lightfoot Michaux and his radio choir.
Tent Meeting
Just five squares away, the First Church of God in Christ of the Holy and Sanctified denomination is conducting tent meetings on lot at Delaware Avenue and K Street. The winter location of this church is at 463 K Street, Southwest. Services here are led by Elder Kelley, who styles himself "Captain of the Lord's Army." A choir of 18 members accompanied by a pianist and a cornetist enliven the services nightly. William Davis, engraver, aids the pastor. At each of these tents services are conducted nightly and twice on Sundays. Hundreds of persons;

Alleged Victim Won't Testify
T' highlight of the trial immediately followed a brief recess and the ending of the laudatory speeches, when Washington, supported by Attorney Houston, refused to testify against the officers he had formerly accused of beating him. Heatedly, Assistant Corporation Counsel Lynch requested that Washington be cited to the Supreme Court for contempt.
Acting Inspector William G. Stott, chairman of the board, rule that Washington could refuse to answer questions which tended to incriminate him. Bitter disputes ranged around the question as to what questions would or would not tend to incriminate him.
Opposed Houston's Coaching
When Washington was called to the stand, Mr. Lynch vigorously opposed Mr. Houston's being allowed to make a statement or coach his client before he answered questions.
Testimony in brief of the dispute about whether or not Washington would answer questions follows:
Mr. Lynch: I submit that the witness should answer the questions I ask him.
A Houston: He is within his constitutional right when he refuses to answer anything that would tend to incriminate him. He as acting under the advice of his counsel.
Mr. Lynch: That makes it more aggravating. I move to the chairman direct him to answer.
Inspector Stutt threatened to cite the witness to the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court for contempt.
Mr. Houston: In that event, he will make his defense there.

Attorney Lynch attacked the statement that the witnesses did not have to testify. "He has no more constitutional right to refuse to answer than I have to go out and take money from a cash register," he said.
Inspector Stott: I did not rule that he does not have to answer any question but only those which may tend to incriminate him.
The next ten minutes were spent in futile efforts by Mr. Lynch to get Washington to admit that he had been at the Third Precinct on the night of the alleged beating. Houston and defense counsel objected, while Washington refused to answer.
Mr. Lynch asked Washington: While you were at No. 3 Precinct, did anyone strike you?

The United States will end its 19-year military occupation of Haiti in October, 1934, under terms of an agreement signed Monday in Port au Prince, by Ogden Armour, U. S. Minister and President Stenio-Vincent, of Haiti.
The agreement, as announced by the State Department, will bring 700 U. S. Marines out of the republic but maintain a strong American control over Haitian finance until bonds held by Americans are liquidated.
Executive Agreement
Executive Agreement It replaces a treaty which was rejected by the Haitian legislature. The new accord—an "executive agreement"—need not be ratified. The agreement makes several concessions to Haiti. The promise to withdraw the marines within 30 days after October 1, 1934, is unequivocal. In last year's treaty the United States left a loophole to keep the Marines in Haiti after the date designated for their withdrawal if disorders broke out meanwhile.
To End Military
The new agreement, also, would evacuate the Marines three months earlier than the old one.
Thus, in 1934, America will end the military administration of Haiti which began in 1915 after a Haitian mob dragged President Sam from the French Embassy, where he had sought refuge, and killed him.
Outstanding provisions respecting Marines were:
1. All Marines to be withdrawn within 30 days after October 1, 1934.
2. On Oct. 1, the Haitij Guarde, trained by Marines, will be turned over to a Haitian colonel designated by the President of Haiti.
3. America on Haiti's request, will send a military mission of seven officers with experience in Haiti, further to train and advise the Guarde.
4. The American scientific mission also shall be withdrawn within 30 days after October 1, 1934.
Paid by 1944
Major provisions respecting the financial administration were:
1. The present financial adviser and general receiver and his deputy shall be replaced by a fiscal representative and his deputy, presumably Americans, to be appointed by the President of Haiti upon nomination by the President of the United States.
2. The fiscal representative will direct the customs service until Haiti's debt to American bondholders, about $15,000,000, is liquidated. It is estimated the debt will be paid by 1944. Personnel of the internal revenue service will be Haitian.
The negotiation of the treaty is said to be a triumph for Minister Armour, but is highly probable that it is even more a victory for the strong willed men who are now in control of Haitian affairs, not the least of whom is the present Haitian minister to the United States, Dantes Bellegarde.
On this point Harold J. T. Horan, on the staff of the Washington Post, says:
"The problem of Haiti undoubtedly would have constituted more than a talking point at the forthcoming Pan-American conference at Montevideo (in December). The eloquence of Haitian Minister Dantes Bellegarde would have been lifted in criticism of the American occupation there, as it so frequently has happened at the Pan-American Union with embarrassing consequences."
Other newspapers make similar statements.
It is known that the United States will make an attempt to commit the Pan-American Conference to an approval of the Monroe Doctrine, as an agreement between the United States and the Pan-American countries themselves.
Since Haiti was the last remaining Caribbean country in which the United States was maintaining an armed force, except a Marine base at Guantanamo, Cuba, which is occupied under a treaty, it was perhaps regarded as essential to go to the conference with clean hands—or a promise of it, at least.
Minister Bellegarde may now join the others in approving the Monroe Doctrine compact.

TWO MORE COPS

Schwartz ordered a warrant for their arrest and they were released under $500 bond each.
Charges Third Degree
The policemen waived preliminary examination, Wednesday morning, in the Police Court before Judge Ralph Given and demanded a jury trial. Judge Given set August 16, as the date for the trial. Their bonds were renewed and both remain suspended.
Among the first to reach the scene Tuesday while the youth was allegedly beaten was Attorney B. V. Lawson, who demanded to see the boy. He was permitted to talk with Mahoney, who denied the housebreaking and told reporters that the officers, were beating him in an attempt to make him confess to a crime which he knew nothing of.
Arrested Sunday
Attorney Lawson, after an investigation, found that Mahoney was arrested early Sunday morning and had been in the precinct station since that time, although no charge had been placed against him. Following the visit of Inspector Edwards and Assistant U. S. Attorney Schwartz, officers at the station place a charge of housebreaking against the youth. It was pointed out by Attorney Lawson that prisoners are not permitted to be held over 72 hours without having a charge placed against them. He said this was not done in the case of Mahoney.
Mahoney, later Tuesday afternoon, identified Williams and Ashley in a police line-up as the two who administered the third degree to him. The officers denied the charge and stated they were merely questioning the boy when he started yelling for no apparent cause. However, Mahoney did not yell when he was questioned by reporters and Attorney Lawson.
Boy Unemployed
The youth has been out of school for about 18 months and is well thought of in the community in which he lives. A visit to his home by a Tribune reporter and Attorney Lawson disclosed that he has been accustomed to good surroundings, although the boy has not been able to secure work in several months.
Some twenty-five people who heard the boy's cries agreed to be witnesses. Several who were summoned stated that they saw the officers strike the boy through a window of the precinct where the shades had not been drawn. John Thurston, owner of Thurston's Cafe, stated that on hearing the cries of the boy he went into the precinct, station yard and yelled, "Stop beating that man." At the

time, Mr. Thurston said, he did not know whether the cries came from a colored or white person. Others in the neighborhood said that they are frequently disturbed by the yells of prisoners at the station day and night. Many of these are drunks and persons under the influence of drugs, but the cries of a man who is being beaten and of one suffering from dope are easily distinguished.

FIFTH PROTEST LETTER SENT TO CHAIRMAN KING
James C. Wright Files More Complaints With Utah Senator
Another letter, the fifth, protesting against the alleged unsightly and insignificant conditions at Woodlawn Cemetery was sent by James C. Wright. "Father of the Three-Cent Car Fare," 514 T Street, Northwest, to Senator William H. King, chairman of the District Committee, early this week.
As in his last communication, Mr. Wright includes additional testimony from highly esteemed plot owners at Woodlawn Cemetery complaining that they have paid special assessments for the upkeep of burial areas but have not got any results, and that the cemetery is now in a deplorable condition.
One of the complainants, the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, which owns 62 sites at the cemetery, s. i.d "conditions at Woodland are not at all satisfactory and have not been for years." The Rev. Mr. Brooks is also owner of a family plot. at the burial grounds and has several relatives interred there. Miss Laura G. Arnold, another complainant, said in her testimony "several times I have paid for upkeep, to find when I returned that nothing had been done." Mrs. Harietta G. Stewart, in her testimony, charges that plot holders were forced to buy water on Memorial Day. She says that "Get All, Give Nothing" has been the slogan of the cemetery management for the past twenty years.
Other prominent citizens, whose testimony and appeal for improvement at the cemetery were included in Mr. Wright's letter were: Mrs. Alexander H. Underdown, Captain Arthur C. Newman, Edgar P. Westmoreland, Mrs. Jesse Lawson, Mrs. Gabrielle B. Davis and Miss J. L. Gray.
Mr. Wright is urging all interested citizens and organizations to join him in his fight for the betterment of conditions at the cemetery.

Discrimination in Forest Camp Protested
CHICAGO. — (ANP) — Reports have been made to the Chicago offices, of the N.A.A.C.P. concerning definite acts of discrimination against coloured members of the reforestation camp at Mountain Wisconsin, by the white foremen of the camp whose name is Burham.
Direct charges are made that the colored members of the camp are in a separate platoon and that the white platoons are given the right to eat first, leaving in some cases not enough for the colored platoon. Those who protested and were forced to leave had to do so with a "dishonorable discharge." Protest has been sent to Washington and the Department of Interior and investigators sent to the camp to check the practice.

SEEK TO HAVE COLORED BARBERS AGREE TO CODE
In an enthusiastic meeting, Thursday night, over 450 members of the Master Barbers' Association of the District of Columbia endorsed a previous code agreed on July 28, which raises prices of hair cuts to 50 cents and shaves, 25 cents.
Some barbers reported they are already charging the higher price, and officers of the association say all barbers will be working under the code before September 1.
The meeting was held at Murray Casino and of the group attending hardly 25 were colored. It was reported at the meeting that 100 per cent of the white master barbers in the city have signed an agreement to abide by the new prices.
John P. Davis, presiding officer, has announced that colored barbers will be approached in an effort to get them to sign the agreement. Many barbers catering to colored trade have expressed the opinion that their patrons will not be able to meet the higher rates, as few have received an increase in wages. Some are of the opinion that barbers will make more by the former price—35 cents for hair cuts and 15 cents for shaves—as they will wait on more customers at the lower price. The association went on record to abide by the President's blanket code, 100 per cent. George A. Robinson is president of the association.
N.R.A. OFFICIALS CONSIDER NAMING NEGRO ADVISER
NEW YORK (NAACP)—The naming of a Negro adviser and deputy administrator under the National Recovery Act is being considered by a number of N.R.A. officials, according to confidential advises received here this week by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N.A.A.C.P. again urged the appointment of a colored man to the labor advisory board in letters addressed to Secretary Frances Perkins, and to each member of the labor advisory board. The fact that the steel code, submitted last week, contained a lower wage scale for Negro workers, was cited by the N.A.A.C.P. as reason for the naming of a colored man to look after the interests of the Negro worker.
Miss Perkins made vigorous objection to the Negro wage scale, but the N.A.A.C.P. points out that in the hurry and bustle to get industry back on its feet, the Negro worker may not always have Miss Perkins handy to plead his cause, and many wage scales based on color will be slipped by.
It is understood that only a very selected list of less than ten men is being tentatively considered for the appointment. If the officials select a man it is regarded as certain that the appointment will not be political, but will name a man recognized as an expert in economics and Negro labor problems. Less than a half dozen Negroes fall into this category. Washington observers point out.

ARMOND SCOTT DENIES PROBE OF LEAGUE'S BOOKS
Says Justice Officials Investigated Books of Mack Rowe
Armond W. Scott, chairman of the National Democratic, Negro Voters' League, denied this week that the books of the organization were ever investigated by the Department of Justice official. Mr. Scott, who is a member of the local bar and has been mentioned in connection with the judgeship of the Municipal Court, told a reporter for The Tribune that the books of Mack D. Rowe, who did considerable campaigning for the Democratic party last year, were the ones examined by the Department of Justice.
Rowe's Books Examined
Mr. Rowe is national organizer of the league and at one time had headquarters in the New Masonic Temple. He exhibited a letter from the department last week stating that officials had his books and were ready to return them to him. The letter was addressed to Mr. Rowe and not to the league.
In discussing the matter Mr. Scott said, "there has never been any occasion for an investigation of the league."
He states further:
"If there has been an investigation of any individual or any other organization, certainly we have nothing to do with it. The only money we have handled are the little contributions made by the officers of the league to carry on our work, and such personal contributions as we have from time to time made to the National Democratic Committee, both before and after the campaign.
Not Band Wagon Jumpers
"This league has never been called upon by the Department of Justice to submit any records or books, neither have we reached any communication from the Department of Justice stating they found nothing irregular, because there has been no occasion for an investigation and there never will be.
"This league was incorporated more than two years ago, and it is not made up of 'overnight' Democrats, band-wagon jumpers, or people who have nominally run into the party for the one purpose of getting jobs.
"This league was organized for the purpose of carrying on an educational campaign among the Negroes of this country and your humble servant has been continuously engaged in this work since 1921."
Police Comb 4 Cities for Woman's Slasher
Slashed in the back and left side, Mrs. Leonora Butler, 47, of 1205 Carrollburg Street, Southwest, is in a serious condition at Providence Hospital.
According to records of the Fourth Precinct, Mrs. Butler was cut with a knife by Isiah Plummer, about 40, of the same address, Wednesday of last week. She was conveyed to the hospital in an emergency car of the Fourth Precinct.
Police have combed the Southwest section in search of Plummer, who works on a Merchants Marine ship. Officer R. Nichols, who has made a detailed investigation of the cutting, believes that Plummer may have escaped to Philadelphia, Baltimore, or Norfolk. Police of those cities have been asked to keep a look-out for the fugitive.
Girl Hit With Brick in Serious Condition

John Henry Mosby, 29, of 508 K Street, Southwest, was arrested by Sergeant V. H. Bailey and Private F. W. Marple, both white, of the Fourth Precinct, and is being held on an assault charge pending the outcome of the woman's injury. Miss Day was taken to the hospital in a taxi by George V. Ford, of 161 Heckman Street, Southeast.
Gun Shot 2 Months Old Proves Fatal
Holding that a gunshot wound in the right leg caused the death of Clarence Jones, 31, of 810 Dixon Court, Southwest, a coroner's jury ordered Thursday, that Elijah Striwers, 25, of Union Court, Southwest, be held for the action of the grand jury for the shooting.
Jones is alleged to have been shot in front of his home by Strivers during a squabble on May 23. Following the shooting, the wounded man was taken to Providence Hospital, where he died on July 31.

Pained with some foreign object in the left eye, Euglenon Bunson 21, of 680 W Street, Northwest, had the trouble-maker removed at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. J. F. Henry, Thursday.

AND I want every mile to be a pleasant mile. No ping, ping, ping of carbon every time I hit a grade. No exasperating gear shifting every time I take a stiff hill or drop into a line of traffic. When I step on the starter I want action--instant action. I want riding ease--driving ease--and a motor that runs like a watch.
"That's why I buy AMOCO-GAS! It gives me these things.
"But do you think I pay extra for these motoring luxuries? I do not! I've got it all figured out. The added mileage of AMOCO-GAS

WON'T TALK

prosecute those two officers. I am not going to testify.
Mr. Lynch: Is that why you refuse to testify?
Washington: I said I would not answer.
Mr. Lynch: Is the reason why you do not want. to testify that you do not want to prosecute the officers? I ask the chairman to instruct the witness to answer the question.
Washington: Yes, sir.
A dispute arose between Mr. Lynch and Mr. Houston as to whether or not Washington understood the word "incrimin te" in another question.
Mr. Houston explained in simple language the meaning of the word.
Mr. Lynch: Did you see Mr. Houson on Sunday, July 30.
Mr. Houston: You do not have to answer.
Mr Lynch: There it goes again by the counsel. (Mr Lynch had previously made strenuous objections to Mr. Houston's coaching the client.) I move the board to instruct Mr. Houston to keep quiet when a question is asked. Washington: I do not remember.
Mr. Lynch: Did you see Mr. Houston at the Third Precinct? Washington: I don't remember. Washington refused to answer further questions about knowing the two detectives or whether or not he was taken to Gallinger Hospital. Not making any progress with the witness, Mr. Lynch changed his vitriolic style. He softened and inquired, as to Washington's life. The latter declared that he was 26 years old, an entertainer, and had attended school to the eighth grade
in the school at Cedar Heights, Md.
Picked Accused Officers Out
Captain Kelly was next called to the stand and related that when his attention was first called to Washington's bruised eye and the complaint, he had the man sent to Emergency Hospital. He also related that Washington was later sent to Gallinger, and while there picked the two accused detectives from a squad of four officers.
Inspector Bean corroborated Captain Kelly's statements about their seeing that Washington received immediate medical treatment after he complained of being beaten. Both officials were present when Washington identified the two detectives at Gallinger Hospital.
Inspector Bean said that he asked them whether had a statement to make regarding the charge, but neither made a statement', he said, Captain Kelly al. testified that he had asked for a statement from the two accused detectives but they had not given it to him at the time of the hearing, he said.
Pearson who the defense attempted to show took a few punches at Washington, was brought in. He related being questions. by the detectives and declared that he saw the officers strike Washington.
Pearson Had Bad Record
Attorney Ford produced a long criminal record, stated to be Pearson's, in his efforts to discredit the testimony of Pearson. He brought out that Pearson had a number of aliases and was caught riding in a car that did not belong to him.
Pearson admitted that he used one of the aliases when he was sent to the "big house." It developed that he was released from

Occoquan on April 19, 1933, where he had been served a term of four years and four months on six charges of petit larceny. Pearson was questioned in detail about "stealing" the auto in which he was said to have been riding when arrested. He said that he did not steal it but knew who did take it. The witness denied having discussed his arrest while in the cell block. Petrone and Adelizze were brought in for him to identify. Pearson recognized one, but did not remember having seen the other at the Third Precinct.
Following Attorney's Lynch's contention that the credibility of a witness could be affected only through showing conviction, for a felony, Attorney Ford directed his questioning towards some "words" Washington and Pearson were stated to have had. Pearson denied that he had had any argument with Washington.
Placed on the stand, Petrone claimed that he was asleep in a cell at the precinct when he heard some "squawking." He stated that he saw two colored men, who he later learned were Washington and Pearson, in a jussle. The officers separated them in a few seconds and he went back to sleep, Petrone continued.
Adelizze testified that he was reading a paper in a cell when he saw Washington and Pearson fighting. He claims that he saw Pearson strike Washington several blows and heard one of the men exclaim about "squealers" and "squawkers." He also claimed that he heard the men talk in their cells about a "frame-up" which would enable them to get out of trouble. Adelizze stated that he did not see the officers strike the men

when they separated them in their supposed fight. He was not so clear on some of the details when cross-examined by Atty. Lynch.
**Two Serving Time**
This case is one of the three third-degree charges that have come up within a few weeks after a drive to wipe out the practice in the Nation's capital. It recalls that in 1931, more than twenty policemen and detectives were indicted by the Federal grand jury for abusing prisoners.
Policeman William Laflin and Detective James A. Mostyn are serving one-year sentences in the District Jail resulting from such charges. Detective Sergeant R. J. Barrett is still under suspension following two trials which resulted in hung juries.
Southwest Citizens Mourn Passing of Officer
Desk Sergeant J. C. Smith, white, of the Fourth Precinct, is dead.
The statement does not mean anything to those unacquainted with the varied police activities in the Southwest and Southeast sections of the city, but to many residents of that region it means the passing of a friend who was interested in them when they ran afoul of the law, and, often when they were in destitute circumstances.
Sergeant Smith's death is mourned by both races in that area, as well as by his fellow officers.
Thirty-seven years ago, or in 1896, the officer joined the force and was assigned to Fourth Precinct, and served in numerous capacities, rounding out his last years at the desk.

his welfare work among both groups, and for the timely advice he gave young officers, both colored and white. No charge of inhumane or discourable treatment ever confronted Sergeant Smith.
Generous to All
Speaking for the colored officers attached to the Fourth Precinct, Desk Sergeant Robert (Bob Carroll, co-worker of the deceased for many years, spoke of Sergeant Smith in these words:
"In his contacts with the public and his fellow officers, Mr. Smith was sympathetic and generous. He was of a charitable disposition. Many a colored family would not have eaten had he not provided a meal, many a child would have gone barefoot had he not furnished shoes.
"Mr. Smith was held in high esteem by his superior and by those with whom he worked. We feel our loss keenly."
The deceased officer was buried last week. He died following a major operation at Georgetown Hospital, less than a month after illness caused him to leave his desk. He leaves a wife, two daughters, and hosts. friends.
BEATS MAN IN HEAD.
THEN SHOOTS AT HIM
After striking a man on the head with the butt of his revolver, Leonard. Brown, 20, of 223 Third Street, Southwest, is then said to have fired two shots at him, which went wild, late Sunday.
The object of Leonard's ive was Louis Brown, 27, of the same address, who was taken to Providence Hospital by officers of the Fourth Precinct and treated for a cut on the head.

Kicking the Little Fellow
The Evening Star of Monday carried the following item:
A slogan, "Only One Job for Every Person," was urged upon the President and Recovery Administrator Hugh S. Johnson yesterday by Representative Cochran, Democrat, of Missouri.
Cochran, in his communication to the President, said the chief offender in permitting persons to hold two jobs was the Government itself, adding that hundreds of Government employees "deprive others of work by accepting employment after Government working hours."
"Stenographers and clerks are known to immediately report in lunch rooms where they are employed during the supper hours, while messengers and porters in the employ of the Government have positions running elevators and doing other work around apartment houses and hotels.
"One job for a person in times such as we are now experiencing is sufficient. Let the other fellow have a chance."
It is easy to see that the persons aimed at here are the lower paid employees; the inclusion of "stenographers and clerks" is most likely camouflage.
There is neither sense nor fairness in such a proposal, which takes no account of the gross pay or sustenance received, or the needs of the persons complained of.
It would be just as fair—and be far more just—to say that no person, not even an absentee Congressman, should receive more than a certain amount until all the "other fellows" had reached his level in emoluments.
If we are to abandon the principle of paying presumably according to earning value and each to earn all he can, then there seems no fair or sensible alternative to paying persons according to need. And surely it would be difficult to show that a Congressman—who usually practices a profession or is engaged in business—needs more than a messenger. If so—on what principle?
Instead of just one job—to "let the other fellow have a chance"—why not have one standard of pay or income for the same reason?
Eventually we shall come to economic democracy; why not now? In the meantime, why kick the little fellow?
What is Protested?
A news release from Chicago reports "discrimination" against colored members of a reforestation camp in Wisconsin, which is set forth thus:
Direct charges are made that the colored members of the camp are in a separate platoon and that the white platoons are given the right to eat first, leaving in some cases not enough for the colored platoon.
The release adds that "protest" has been sent to Washington.
Now the question arises—as it does usually in such cases—what is being protested? Is it (1) separation, or (2) the second table, or (3) the shortness of food?
If it is the second, the complaint is groundless, for evidently, if the mess table will not accommodate all at once, some individuals or groups must wait for a second or maybe third table. Possibly the protestors want the order of eating alternated daily or otherwise. If so, the release does not indicate it.
If the protest is against the third item, then the trouble is not "discrimination," but shortness of food.
If it is the jim crow separation that ranks—and it should—then the other matters complained of merely confuse the situation and give a loop hole for "remedies" that will leave the segregation undisturbed.
It would be interesting to know just what is being protested.
A Neglected Field
In his commencement address at Hampton Institute recently, J. Weldon Johnson, now on the faculty of Fisk University, called attention to a matter that is seldom touched upon, yet is worthy of serious study.
We quote from the address as published in the Southern Workman for July:
Based upon the constant shifts in the interracial situation that have been going on for the past three centuries, scientific instruction should be given in the changing methods and techniques that have been used in dealing with the situation. It will be found that differences in these methods and techniques are due not only to differences in times but also to differences in locality.
At the present time, they are one thing in Virginia and another thing in Mississippi. I do not think I need to press the point. It should be clear that
such a study would not only furnish a historical survey of this very important phase of the problem, but would also afford points of orientation for formulating and projecting new methods and techniques. Such a study would provide preparation for intelligent approaches to the whole race situation.
I am sure that a historical survey of these techniques would give us a higher appreciation of what our forefathers accomplished than some of us now have.
We of the vanguard think of the slow, labored progress of the masses and fail to consider that they used the only methods they could command; that they did persist; that they held their ground when they could not advance. Study would show that whenever they were not able to use their strength, they played upon the weaknesses of their overlords and took advantage of the gullibility which always goes with over-bearing pride.
An examination of all the techniques the race has employed will give us points of orientation for formulating new techniques and directing them.
Those of us who were able in youth or early adulthood to listen to the stories of our formerly enslaved forebears concerning this matter of using cunning where strength and power were lacking, of amusing and diverting where resistance would have been futile or disastrous, could, if we would, note and record instances without number of the successful, or at least existence-preserving, use of the techniques referred to by Professor Johnson.
A compilation of these devices and artifices would furnish material for study in the biological field as well as in the field of comparative sociology and behaviorism.
Moreover, such a compilation ought to disclose rich material for the novelist and playwright.
Indeed, it has already been suggested that the Negro's supposed inherent tendency to clowning, mimicry, and so-called monkey-shines was a defensive biological trait or mechanism developed through years of effort at self-preservation. His very existence, it has been held, depended upon either diverting or outwitting his exploiters and oppressors.
Who will pioneer in the neglected field indicated by Professor Johnson?
It has remained for Denver, Colorado, to establish a new classification in the matter of racial segregation.
According to C. E. Chapman, a correspondent for the Associated Negro Press, the public bath houses have designated certain week days and hours for the various groups, which are classified as follows: white women, white girls, white men, white boys, colored women, colored girls, colored boys, colored men, mixed women, mixed girls, mixed boys, mixed men.
Mr. Chapman explains that the term "mixed" implies "Chinese, Mexican and the like." What "the like" includes not clear—Indian, maybe.
Which reminds one of—but does not exactly parallel—the three designations on the doors of the toilets in some Southern railway stations: Gentlemen, Ladies, Colored People.
Black Labor and the Codes
From Opportunity Magazine for August
If there were those who supposed for a moment that the identity of interests of black and white labor would be recognized in the codes submitted by Industry in accordance with the provisions of the National Industrial Recovery Act, by this time they must be aware, to say the least, that their hopes were ill founded.
For in the Textile Code, the first code accepted by the government and apparently approved by organized labor, Negro unskilled labor, classified as cleaners, outside workers, etc., was ruthlessly excluded from the benefits of the minimum wage provision and that of the limitation of hours of work.
So glaring was this ill-concealed discrimination on the basis of race that the President himself in his acceptance of the code demanded that on January first, these classes of labor admittedly composed for the most part of Negroes should be especially considered so as to be included in the general purposes of the Act.
It would seem that in the codes proposed thus far, those industries in which the bulk of the unskilled labor is black have made an adroit attempt to establish a differential wage based on race. In the proposed lumber and steel codes the wide disparity in the wages, especially of the unskilled in the North and South, which appears to be merely geographical, is in reality an effort to perpetuate the wage inequalities current in the South.
Only where the threat of organized labor menaces the company union and the open shop has there been any effort to protect the interest of the black worker, and in the Steel Code this alone inspired a section against discrimination of Negro workers.
The manipulation of wage scales on the basis of race is fraught with danger to all workers. The consequences which will flow from reducing black workers to a wage which does not insure "decent living" must invisibly be felt by millions of unskilled whites, whose wage will tend to approach that of the despoised blacks.
A labor policy which condones such a practice or is without voice when it is perpetrated must be condemned as short sighted, stupid and woefully lacking in knowledge of the historic mission of the labor movement. The blanket code recently promulgated by the President will be hailed by millions of black workers who will come under its provisions. But there is no reason to believe that the same tendencies which have appeared in the codes—will be absent in the operation of the code in the industries of the South. Only sincere, vigorous, unceasing vigilance on the part of the Department of Labor will

Will Retire at End of Next College Year; Expects to Live and Write for at Least Another Decade.
My seventieth birthday has come and gone. I am made aware of the flight of time by consulting the calendar rather than by indication of physical or mental infirmities. I have filled out the Scriptual allotment of three score and ten with every hope and expectation of extending the margin to four score and more. My father died at 97 and was working in the field the morning of the day he died.
I fully anticipate another decade of active and effective service. The trustees of Howard University have granted me one year’s extension before retirement, after which I will be free to follow the bent of my own inclination along lines of literary work and public discussion.
My seventieth birthday was like any other summer vacation day and was spent in the usual way. I arose at six o’clock, strolled through my garden, gathered vegetables for dinner, cut a bouquet for the breakfast table, read the morning paper, and then answered the summons of the breakfast bell.
After breakfast I went to the university post office for my morning mail, chatted some time with the professors and instructors gathered for the same purpose. I then came home, read the mail, including the newspapers and magazines, then wrote for an hour or so at my typewriter. The mid-day dinner was then announced.
There were timely felicitations, after that a mid-day siesta, then for another hour or so in the library. Towards the cool of the evening I must paddle about the garden and inspected my trees, shrubbery, grasses and flowers to see what further care they needed.
STROLLS IN GARDEN
IN COOL OF DAY
There is no delight known to the sons of men comparable to a stroll in the garden early in the morning or in the cool of the evening. The only worthwhile vocation or avocation is cultivating the soil and cultivating the soul.
I am called from the garden again by the tea bell. Now for an auto spin about the suburbs, winding up at the movies, which brings me to the end of a perfect day.
Seventy years is but as a day—a watch in the night—when it is passed. It might well be seized upon as a point of reflection. If it were not for the knowledge that all men must die, sooner or later, I would feel as if I might live forever. The end of the road has no terrors for me.
I was sent into the world perhaps at the most dynamic period of human history. Abraham Lincoln and I were living at the same time. More progress in mastering lines and transforming discoveries have taken place in my day than had been achieved from Adam to me.

BORN IN BACK PART
OF BACK WOODS
I was born in the back part of a backwoods county in South Carolina amidst very crude country surroundings, and did not have a chance to observe movements and events till well in my middle teens. The electric light, the telephone, the electric car, the automobile, the linotype, the radio, and the moving picture have all come into existence since my time. Subtract from civilization what such inventions and discoveries have contributed and the subtrabend would be greater than the remainder.
No less striking has been the transformation in the domain of human thinking. Darwin's "Origin of the Species" was issued just four years before I was born. It did not get under way till a quarter of a century later. Its universal acceptance has revolutionized the whole fabric of human thought and action. The basis has been shifted from heaven to earth.
Before the dissemination of Darwinism, religion was a ruling passion, since then it has become a ceremonial formula. Democracy was the ideal form of government; but even within the last two decades democracy is yielding to dictatorship in all parts of the civilized world. In industry and economics, competition has given way to combination, and individualism to social control. Roosevelt and Mark Hanna are as far apart in their economic philosophies as Cardinal Gibbons and Clarence Darrow in their religious beliefs.

EXPECTS TO SEE NEW ORDER USHERED IN
It is great to live in such an era as this, even if only as a more or less passive spectator. I still expect to see ushered in a new order of things, the consummation of the progress of the past seventy years. The time of its fulfillment is at hand and the reign of technocracy is near. Like Moses, I shall hope to get a glimpse of the Promised Land, but shall not probably enter into its full fruition. The inevitable Nebo will frustrate such hope.

I cannot boast, like father Aeneas, "Magna pars quarum fui" (I have played a large hand in these things). I have taken very little part in the dynamic movements—in politics, business or religion. Whatever influence I may have exerted has been in influencing thinking along sane and constructive channels.
I have known, with a greater or less degree of closeness, every distinguished Negro who has figured in the racial equation from Fred- erick Douglass to Marcus Garvey. I have assumed the role, not of a leader but of an analyst, not of an agitator, but an expositor. I shall hope during the next ten years to be of still more efficient service in guiding the race in the way it should go.

The Liberian Crisis
BY HENY LITCHFIELD WEST President, American Colonization Society (Extract from booklet published by the society.)
EDITOR'S NOTE.—This series of articles is being published by The Tribune without implied approval or disapproval. The booklet from which they are reprinted may be regarded as a statement of the matters at issue adverse to Liberia. In our issues of June 16 and 23, we reprinted, from the Philadelphia's Tribune, an article by Prof. Ben. Azikwe, in which Liberia's position was defended.
PART VIII.
Liberia and Its Future
The fact that Liberia has defied the United States and is treating the League of Nations with the utmost indifference has a direct bearing upon the uncertainty of its future.
Between the United States and Liberia there is definite separation. Not only have diplomatic relations entirely ceased but there is not even unofficial intercourse. Between the two countries the Liberian government has erected a wall and it was in the hope that a breach might be made in this wall that President Hoover, just before the end of his term, sent Maj. Gen, Blanton Winship, judge advocate general of the army, to Monrovia, trusting that his visit might bring order out of chaos and eventuate in the restoration of a friendly status.
Why should Liberia, a weak and helpless nation, invite the antagonism of a country which has been its life-long guardian and aid?
The first answer to that question is the natural suspicion that the Liberian government is being unwisely guided to its own destruction by the selfish and sinister advice of some foreign nation. Unfortunately, there is ground for this suspicion. Somewhere, apparently, some power is hoping that Liberia will fall like a ripe plum into its lap. And Liberia is a ripe plum. It is possessed of valuable natural resources which have never been developed and which promise an abundance of riches to the nation that shall secure their control. The United States is not in this category. We have more than enough outlying territory in the Philippines, Guam, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands. We are not land-grabbers. We even paid for the islands that came to us as the result of victory in the Spanish War. Other nations are less conscientious. At the end of the World War the Allies divided Germany's raiment among themselves.
It is reported that upon return from Geneva, the Liberian Secretary of State said he had documents guaranteeing support of certain European interests in case Liberia revoked the American Loan Agreement, and that ample funds amounting to several millions would be supplied by a Danish syndicate, in return for which the latter was to be granted extensive mineral and other concessions and the right to build a road across the entire extent of Liberian territory from the coast to the French boundary. Already the President of the Republic has been authorized to negotiate the proposed concession. It is a most astounding surrender of natural rights and privileges. If it should go into effect the United States would undoubtedly enter a protest on the ground that American obligations should first be met, but as the protest would be nothing more than a multitude of words, it is natural to suppose that it would be as futile as the protests in the past. Up to the present time no Danish money has been actually in evidence but if the transaction should be concluded, there would be a sad and fatal farewell to American interests in Liberia.
Two great European powers have long looked with envious and desirous eyes upon Liberia. On the west is the British possession of Sierra Leone, and on the east is the French Ivory Coast. Liberia is between the upper and nether millstone and the wonder is that it still survives. Already, however, the little Republic has been despoiled of vast areas through the cupidity of its neighbors. Great Britain, upon the filmsiest pretext, stepped in and seized Libertarian territory which it annexed to Sierra Leone and still retains, while France, on the specious plea of perfecting boundary lines, now occupies two thousand square miles of land which rightfully belongs to Liberia. This wholesale and unrighteous acquisition has not been accomplished without protest from the United States but verbal utterances are harmless ammunition with which to dislodge British and French supremacy. It would be most unfortunate, but it would not be surprising, if Liberia should some day lose its entirety but that this is not unlikely is evident when huge chunks can be successfully carved out of its territory on the theory that might makes right.
Although Lord Cecil has asserted in Geneva that Great Britain has no sinister designs upon Liberia and desires to see the sovereignty of the Republic preserved, the at-
Think It Over
By BEATRICE M. MURPHY
Every time I hear one human being passing judgment on another, I laugh. For life is such a peculiar and uncertain thing that who can tell whether tomorrow the other man's fate might not be his. Who can tell whether tomorrow someone might not in turn be laughing at and passing judgment on him?
Is it not true that we give to every human being who touches our lives something of ourselves, and take in turn something from them; and that every time we see a fellow companion stuck in the mire and fail to help him out, we leave something of ourselves there with him. So that when we look into the face of another human—no matter how despicable his state—we see ourselves, and are forced to admit, "There goes a part of me, I helped to make that personality."
Is it not also true that the more we learn in life, the more we find ourselves compelled to say, "I don't know." Life ceases to be a matter of two and two making four and evolves into higher and more intricate mathematics and the issues of which we were so sure yesterday and on which we readily and pompously gave our opinions—as if ours was the voice of God himself speaking—today we shrink from offering dogmatic statements about because we realize that future experiences will more than likely change all we have learned.
Early in the game we discover that we have to break some of the rules of life in order to learn how to play it, and the more rules we break the better equipped are we to meet the situation and play a winning game. We jeer at others who have crossed the line because we are envious of them. They have learned something that we would like to know, but haven't the courage to find out.
And does it not seem rather silly to make rules about things of which we know so little? Who is there among us that can offer adequate definitions for the things about which most of our rules are built? Who can tell us what is God and truth and sin?
After all, every man has a freedom of choice, and if the rules do not conform to his ideas of right and wrong, is he not always justified in breaking them?
Surely if, as Christ tells us, "the Son of man is lord even of the Sabbath," he is also master of his own soul and maker of his own destiny."
So, every time I see one human being laughing or passing judgment on another because he follows a different course of action, I have to laugh. Because I know that the second is also passing judgment on the first and each is to the other one a fool. And who, I ask you, knows which one is right, or whether either of them are?
titude of his government is far from reassuring.
In the first place, Great Britain has done many things which seem to indicate a purpose of placing Liberia in such an embarrassing position that British interference would be justified.
The Bank of British West Africa, which has branches all along the coast, withdrew from Monrovia on the ostensible plea of unhealthy conditions in 1930, and refused to remain even when guaranteed safety from loss and actual profit by an American corporation. This compelled the latter to open its own bank as there was no other financial institution in Liberia. A British subject named Davidson was placed at the head. Circumstances compelled his release in strict accordance with the terms of the written contract with him, and this action was accepted without protest at the time. Later, however, he entered suit for £50,000 against the American company for defamation of character, and although the case has been twice before the courts without redress in sight, he continues to be a thorn in the flesh of American interests.
There are many rumors not altogether to the credit of the Liberian government in connection with this case—one, for instance that a sealed verdict in favor of Davidson was in the hands of the jury when the trial began and only failed to become effective because the judge at the last minute declared a mistrial and thereby became a victim of governmental revenge—but it can be seen that even if Davidson is prosecuting the case of his own volition and is not inspired or financed by some ulterior agency, the prosecution is merely another endeavor to further stir up the already muddy waters.
Too Much
As a special treat the vicar provided sausage rolls at the tea party for the oldest inhabitants of the village. During the meal he walked around among his guests with a plate of rolls. Presently he stopped beside Mrs. O'Malley, who had taken the sausage out of her poll and left the pastry on the side of her plate.
"Don't you like the pastry, Mrs. O'Malley?" he kindly asked. The old woman looked up and shook her head. "Nay, vicar," she replied. "I've caten the dog, but I can't manage the kennel."—Answers Magazine.

Digesting the News
By Clifford C. Mitchell
THIS SERVICE APPRECIATED
Another message from W. C. Handy, reads:
"I am in receipt of your letter, also your 'Digesting the News,' in which our letter was quoted in part. May I thank you for this publicity, which certainly won't do any harm and may do some good....I must say this is a splendid work you are doing. Your article on insurance ought to make every reader think and act."
"Incidentally, Mr. Handy and J. Rosemond Johnson are the two colored performers in a new fifteen-member vaudeville act known as "Memory Lane," with bookings now on Broadway.
A letter from the J. L. Nichols Co., of Naperville, Illinois, thanks me for my efforts to stimulate reader-interest in the economic opportunities of the race. The following paragraph from their letter should interest some of our young men and women:
"We have given employment to thousands of Negro agents (selling books by, about and for Negroes) enabling a great many students to pay their way through college, and have done a great deal to stimulate race pride. At the present time we have opportunities with real profit possibilities for men and women selling some of our good books and Bibles, and we would be glad to hear from anyone who is interested in work of this kind."
Mr. Albon L. Holsey, secretary of the National Negro Business League, writes:
"Last week, we sent out two circular letters to the papers in connection with the National Negro Business League. If you can help in any way by giving publicity to the league's activities it will serve a good purpose."
By the time this release will appear in print the circular letters Mr. Holsey refers to will have been read by all readers. In fact I have already seen them in a number of the papers, but Mr. Holsey knows that this column is dedicated to the purpose of inspiring activities on our business and economic efforts and references to the work he is doing have appeared in this column quite frequently and will continue to do so.
"Book" Lawton, writer and philosopher of Clay Center, Kansas, and Charles C. Diggs, deputy parole commissioner, of Detroit, have both sent me some interesting manuscripts, and while I am unable to use them in this column I shall try to give them a spot somewhere in my next week's releases. Publicly I want to thank the following writers for their comments in their current columns: Davis Lee, Floyd L. Easter, W. J. Wheaton, and Harry Barnett, who appeared as guest conductor for Eustace Gay's "Facts and Fancies" in the Philadelphia Tribune. Again I invite the correspondence, problems and suggestions of my readers. This is your column and all subjects with an economic trend will be given consideration herein. Write Clifford C.

Two Cheap Pigs
Boy Dies from Injection
Haiti Sees the Light
You probably read in last Fridays's daily papers that somewhat humorous story of Lieut. Jack Sherman, a grand-nephew of Gen. William. The article related that he sent two pigs to Capt. Thomas Jefferson Davis as a payment for two of the same taken by Gen. Sherman's troops, on their "march to the sea" in 1864. A note sent along with the pigs read in part:
"I hope that this favorable action on your claim will go far to cement the friendly relation between the North and South, and at least keep one damned Rebel from claiming he would have been a millionaire today had it not been for my uncle's march through the South."
This story was obviously printed because of its humorous side. It nevertheless brings before us an old grudge, of the Southerner against the Yankee, over two cheap pigs.
One can imagine Capt. Thomas Davis's reaction if he were asked of former slaves for a payment on the years of hard labor that his father and mother were forced to do under the yoke of slavery. The Southerner would find that his debt to the Negro would amount to much more than two cheap pigs.
William Chappelle, of 208 Second Street, Northwest, this week, filed a suit against the District asking $10,000 on account of the death of his son, William Chappelle, Jr., an inmate of the Industrial School, who died Monday from infection following an injection of an arsenical solution administered by Drest health officials. Chappelle charges that his son, who had been an inmate of the
school since June 20, 1932, was sent to the District health clinic for two injections from which he became ill and died.
The boy was in good health and the injections were unnecessary, the father claimed. The District officials say the inmate suffered "atrophic cirrhosis" of the liver.

At last Haiti, the black Republic, sees hopes of freeing herself from the watchful eye and meddlesome hand of Uncle Sam.
A treaty providing for withdrawal of all American officers and troops was signed, Monday, in Port au Prince, Haiti, the State Department announced.
All Americans will be replaced by Haitian troops headed by Haitian officers. This is good news for those who sympathize with Haiti.
The United States criticizes Japan for its invasion of China in order to protect Japanese interest. But it's all right for America to be guilty of holding weaker countries than herself under the cannon's mouth to protect Wall Street's interests. We hope no excuse will arise before 1934 that will hinder carrying out this treaty.

Pastor of Washington Institute Church of Christ, Inc., (white) Dedicates Poem to Elder Michaux.
To the Editor:
Enclosed please find original poem, "Black Rough Diamonds," inspired by an actual incident which occurred in the life of the writer. I am especially dedicating the poem to that real Christian, Elder Michaux.
Lord! lead me to a bench, for I would write
Of rut-bound men who would hold eyes
Of ruttbound men who would hold genius down.
One night I slept upon the heartless, ground
Beneath unfriendly copper-coated skies.
And there, friends, I was almost moved to fright,
For three big burly Negroes settled there,
Scar-faced and spirit-marred beyond compare,
And quarrelled among themselves,
and rent the air
With cursions of depression and despair.
But soon I was surprised, because I learned
That they were black rough diamonds. In them burned
Hearts huge and kind, and even while I napped.
while I mapped,
One covered me with papers.
'Rose' covered me with papers.
Newspapers piled up high to keep
warm.

Youth's Corner
By Alvin (Chick) Webb
THE YOUNG NEGRO AND COMMUNISM
The young Nagro is placed in a peculiar quindary when he must be called to make a definite stand on this vexing question of Communism.
Shall he follow the cause of a minority political body that promises him a "definite guarantee of social and political equality" and the right to call himself a man, or shall he ignore, these tempting offers and overwhelmed with a burning patriotism, remain steadfast and sincere to other political affiliations that have repeatedly denied him the ordinary privileges of an American citizen?
It is this writer's belief that there are many influential American citizens, both black and white who have considered leaning towards Communism, but because of their position and prestige, cannot afford to come "out in the open" wards the leaders of the Communist and speak their parts. Others, without this handicap or detriment have constantly expressed a surprisingly sympathetic attitude toist movement. Another noted race leader has concluded that "there must be some good features in a movement that arouses alarm and worry in the hearts and minds of prejudiced and Neuro-bating Nordics."
Now is the time for all thinking young Negroes to make a more detailed and concise study of the political situation, especially as it is affecting Negroes all over the country. And we must constantly remember that old maxim "In union there is strength."
THEY TELL ME THAT-
The Harris' Luncheonette, the new eating emporium for those who are particular about what they eat, and are not particular about what it costs, will become the mecca for Washington's sepia elite. this very beautiful luncheonette is owned and managed by Herbert Harris, former Shaw Night School student, and is located in the new Odd Fellows building at Ninth and T Streets, Northwest.
The Francis Pool, which is soon to come under the new management of John Harris, erstwhile Howard University student drew a very large attendance last Sunday "awfternoon"... among those present were Irma Harding, popular and attractive Alexandria belle, Richard (Marquis) Johnson, Dorothy Hawkins, Dotis Dudley, Rufus (Marquis) Brooks, Lonnie Brown, just to mention a few.
Monty, Pollard, versatile radio artist and entertainer, copied the second prize at last week's amateur night show at the Howard Theatre ... more power to you, Monty.
O. O. McIntyre, widely read columnist, tells this one about the "poor cracker" that was attending his first big league baseball game in the "big city." So excited was he over the exciting happenings that were taking place on the field, that he left the game in order to drop the home folks a card, relative to what he was witnessing, so he wrote thusly: "Best game I ever seen. Eleven endings. Nary one made nary one.
Believe it or Not, Ripley gave out a hapd one this week, to wit: "What is it we eat for breakfast and drink for dinner? Don't ask me, I don't know from nothing...so if you want the answer, you'd better write to Ripley.
The latest "dope" on the Liberian issue, is the petitioning of several prominent Negroes, to the State Department who are "courious of ousting "Magnate" Firestone from Liberia.
Church guests, who are religious fathers one day in the week (sunday) and are numbers and moonshining addicts the other seven days in the week... people who tell you "I wouldn't bother you say the fifty cents, but it is the principle of the
thing...women who ride a married man for his "outside" affairs with other women and when "opportunity knocks on their door" step out with the self same man...men who "do their dirty work" and tell tales afterward...men with typical men physiques but possessed of feminine emotions.
There's a technical definition for a common term, for you and you and you (aren't I clever) current edition of evangelists who "breach" religious doctrines but do not "practice" them...the modern flapper types who drink and smoke but pose as being "good" girls and are insulted when misque remarks are made before them...nudist colonies that attribute their aims to nature study and body appreciation, but actually engage in peculiar doings.

WEEK END NOTES:
Aviation School for Negroes to be Formed
All air-minded Negroes will soon be presented with the rare opportunity to avail themselves of competent instructions in aviation before long, according to word that reached the writer through the genial "Tommy" Jeter, who has recently been made the publicity director of a local aviation unit, whose personnel is entirely colored.
Mr. Jeter presented yours truly with a circular that gave some definite information concerning this project, but in the writer's busy movements this circular was misplaced. However, according to Jeter's testimony, many distinguished airmen as well as sympathizers of aviation have made a concerted stand relative to giving this budding school an excellent start towards the fulfillment of a worthy and ambitious program. Readers should watch the Tribune for a definite announcement relative to the opening of initial classes in aviation instruction.
The writer of "Youths' Corner" wishes to announce that hereafter this column will be headlined as "Chats With Chick" and will attempt to cover a wider field for the bentfit of its readers and friends. News and itmes of interest concerning young people will continue to be written in this column, but the writings that will appear hence forth will not be limited to purely young people. As an added feature to this new headline, you, gentle reader will witness the appearance of a reputed reproduction of the likeness of yours truly.

RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS
By GERTRUDE C. FRAZIER
This food page is conducted with the intent of offering recipes that have been tried and found to be wholesome, quickly prepared, and economical. You are invited to send in your favorite recipe, or letters of interest to the housewife.
Every housewife is interested in quickly prepared meals during the summer months at least. These following suggestions may be helpful to that end.
To those who have good ice boxes or refrigerators, let them be electrical or whatnot, it is possible to cook extra quantities of vegetables so as to have enough for two or more meals.
They can be used the first day hot. They can be used the following day or days as foundations for various salads, or for a loaf. Combining them with other food materials will develop into potatable dishes that any one would be delighted with.
For salads make sure that all materials are always crisp and cold.
Mixed Vegetable Salad
1 cup shredded cabbage
1 slice squash
1 cup diced beets or 2 tomatoes
2 hard-boiled eggs
½ cup special French dressing
1 bunch young onions
1 bunch padishes or lettuce.
Mix the cabbage, cucumbers and beets on tomatoes with the special dressing and let stand in icebox half an hour. Arrange lettuce in a salad bowl and on this place the vegetable mixture. Garnish with radishes, onion tops and sliced hard boiled eggs.
Special French Dressing
1 cup salad oil, 1 cup sugar
½ cup malt vinegar
1 teaspoon grated onion

top off junket with the whipped
cream, and across the cream

Milk, nature's most complete food, is often referred to as a child's food. This is indeed true, but it is also an excellent food for adults. Many of us would be healthier and happier by the addition of a pint of milk to our diet—it is our most complete food. The completeness of a food depends upon the following:
1. Enough of the right sort of material to build and repair the living tissues of the body, of which milk is the finest example.
2. Eat, starchs and sugars to furnish the body with enough energy for work and body heat.
3. A variety of mineral substances for growth and functioning parts of the body such as bone, brain, blood, etc.
4. An adequate amount of vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and G.
5. No poisonous substance and in addition in a. form properly digested and palatable.

One of our truly American vegetables is sweet corn. Long accepted as a favorite always to be found on the tables of our native folks, sweet corn was readily adopted by the newer arrivals from Europe. Probably no vegetable can rival sweet corn as a summer favorite. No other vegetable is so perishable, so sensitive to improper handling or cooking. Quality in sweet corn depends almost entirely upon freshness and succulence. When lost, these properties can never be restored and with them has been wasted the true flavor and aroma so characteristic of fresh sweet corn.
Corn Seasons Longer
With such highly perishable properties and with an outstanding demand for it in the city markets, the supplying of quality sweet corn presents a very definite challenge to both growers and merchants. These elusive but choice properties must be guarded at every step. President consumer demand for a longer season has been met by enterprising growers. Early planting of varieties carefully selected for flavor and sweetness provides most of our July supply followed by the more generally planted crop.
For city consumers, the ears are harvested early in the cool of the morning so as to preserve the natural moistness and succulence in the green husks. These are then packed in crates and kept cool until ready to begin the evening journey to the city. There they are available for the housewife early the next morning, thus permitting the serving of sweet corn barely a day removed from the field.
Buying Suggestions
In buying sweet corn, we suggest that you avoid any ears on which the cob leaves or sheath are wrinkled and dry. Sometimes an effort may be made to remove such withered outer portions of the husk but, this can be readily detected because the remaining inner leaves are thin, pale and bleached.
Ears of fresh sweet corn are covered with deep green, unbleached and unwilted husk, with drops of moisture between the leaves. Examine each ear carefully and select those with smooth, glistening, stout, plump and uniform kernels which when punctured, exclude milky juice.
Avoid ears on which kernels are tough and wrinkled and of pasty content. We suggest that you buy only a day's supply at a time and that it be kept cool and moist until ready to be husked just before cooking.
Choice, tender sweet corn and butter form an unusually tasty combination which is relished at every table. However, one must always keep in mind that sweet corn must, like milk, be absolutely fresh and requires a full measure of marketing ability on the part of the housewife to make certain of a wise selection.

CHECK CHARGE AGAINST SMITH IS NOL PROSSED
Toledo Man Seeking Loan of 7 Million Dollars Makes $24 Good
Olander J. Smith, Toledo realtor who astounded Washington a few months ago when he announced that he was here to borrow seven million dollars from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for a Toledo project and again last week equally astonished blaze Washington when he was arrested on a bad check charge, had the charge not proscribed this week.
Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., recipient of the $24 rubber check, told a Tribune reporter this week that Smith had made the check good.
Arrested at Hotel
Smith was arrested at the White-law Hotel after detectives from headquarters and the Second Precinct had made several futile attempts to take him into custody on a warrant. He was finally nabbed by a private detective.
The check, which was drawn a year ago, while Smith was in this city, was made payable to Major Johnson and was drawn on the First National Bank of Toledo and was endorsed by Dr. A. S. Russell, a dentist, of 602 K Street. The check was returned marked "No account."
Efforts of the Tribune to get in touch with Smith at the hotel failed. According to Detective Sergent Bragg, of the check and fraud squad, Smith related that he changed his account from one bank to another and forgot to make allowance for outstanding checks because he had been busy.

I. L. D. Attorneys Saved from Mob at Tuscaloosa, Alabama
Refused Permission to Represent Two of Five Colored Men Accused in Connection With Murder of a White Girl; Case Postponed
BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Two New York lawyers, who vainly insisted upon participating in the defense of two of five colored men indicted in connection with the murder of a white girl, were on their way home last Wednesday after a narrow escape at the hands of a Tuscaloosa, Ala., mob.
They were Allan Taub and Irving Schwab, who came here as representatives of the International Labor Defense and with the announcement that they had been retained in the defense of Dan Pippen, Jr., and Ernest Clarke, two of the accused.
been at work with him—and was quickly clapped in jail.
A special grand jury was called. All five of the Ne-oes were indicted. Pippen, Jr., and Clarke were charged with criminal assault and murder. Harden is charged with being accessory to the crime. Dan Pippen Sr., is charged with obstructing and interfering with the investigation. The charge against Jimison is not known.
Tuscaloosa, seat of the University of Alabama, and thus one of the center, of higher learning in the South lost no time in organizing a lynch gang. Or the evening
National Guard troops escorted hem to Birmingham Tuesday night after a crowd of 3,000 had gathered in Tuscaloosa, mostly around the building in which they had taken refuge.
Slipped Away from Mob
A decoy automobile was dispatched toward Birmingham and later the two lawyers, with their colleague, Frank B. Irwin, of Birmingham, were silenced out of a side door and rushed to the Tuscaloosa railroad station.
Even after the lawyers and the National Guardsmen boarded the train the demonstration continued and the air hose of the train was cut nehr Cottondale, Ala., where about 100 men had gathered by the side of the tracks.
When the cases were ordered continued after Judge Henry B. Foster had ruled that only local counsel appointed by the court and employed by friends of the accused Negroes could conduct the defense, a mob had formed about the court-house.
The story of the case as given by a release of the I.L.D. recently is as follows:
Story of the Case
On Monday, June 12, about 9 o'clock in the morning, Vaudine Maddox left home. On Tuesday, she was reported missing. A search begun Wednesday revealed her dead body lying in a ravine. All the evidence in the case, the local officials said, pointed to a murder by an acquaintance of the girl. It was shown that Vaudine Maddox had sat or stood on a log near the ravine, even with chatting with someone. A pail of flour she had been carrying was still sitting by the log, undisturbed. The local press went so far as to say that for these reasons, it was impracticable to suspect a Negro. The murderer, the papers pointed out, was without doubt someone whom the girl considered a friend—that is a white person.
On Friday, June 16, Dan Pippin, Jr., a Negro boy of 20 was arrested and charged with attacking and murdering Vaudine Maddox. The arrest was made because a white man who owed Pippen some money, said that he had seen the boy near the scene of the crime on Monday morning. Pippen is a member of a popular local singing club.
Young Pippen has been working all of Monday in the field of Willie Jimison, a Negro. Dan's father, Dan Pippin, Sr., told the officers that his son had been with him in the 'Jimison field' and was promptly arrested for "interfering with the investigation."
No Proof Found
A. T. Harden 15, a close friend of Pippen and a member of the same singing club, was arrested, and a rumor was spread that Harden had confessed to watching Pippen commit the crime. Harden now says, "It's all a lie. Neither of us had anything to d with it." Ernest Clarke, another member of the same club was also arrested. No evidence was offered by the officials as to the possible guilt of Harden or Clarke, and it appears they were arrested just to complete a "round up of niggers." Willie Jimison the owner of the field in which young Pippen was working, came before the grand jury to testify that the boy had
been at work with him—and was quickly clapped in jail. A special grand jury was called. All five of the Ne-roes were indicted. Pippen, Jr., and Clarke were charged with criminal assault and murder. Harden is charged with being accessory to the crime. Dan Pippen Sr., is charged with obstructing and interfering with the investigation. The charge against Jimison is not known. Tuscaloosa, seat of the University of Alabama, and thus one of the center, of higher learning in the South lost no time in organizing a lynch gang. Or the evening of June 21, the lynchers stormed the Tuscaloosa County Jail. The prisoners, however, had already been removed.
TUSCALOOSA, Ala.—(ANP)—Local ministers and a few other leaders organized last week and issued an appeal against "outside influences" injecting themselves into the trial of three colored men for the murder of Vaudine Maddox, white.
A petition issued by the group bore twenty signatures, and read, in part: "We feel that the fair-mindedness and Christian integrity of citizens of this community will see to it that justice is given in these cases and our conviction is that the defense of these cases ought to be left in the hands of competent lawyers."
This action followed circulation of a report that the International Labor Defense, defenders of the Scottishboys, would intercede in behalf of the alleged slayers of the Maddox woman and the widely-heralded accusation that the men to be tried were framed.

Money Flasher Loses
$10 from His Roll
No doubt Handsona Poasey, of 620 M Street, Southwest, will be more careful about flashing his money about after the incident he complained to officers of the Fourth Precinct, Friday.
Poasey declared that an unkempt man walked up to him and asked for two cents. In order to give the man the requested amount, Poasey pulled a roll of bills from his pocket and was flashing them about for all to see.
The man who had begged for two cents snatched $10 from the roll and fled. Poasey claims that he can identify the man if he ever sees him again.

Levee Contractors Present Code Raising Pay of Labor
Agent of Contractors Admits Negroes Have Been Working "About" Eleven Hours Daily for "Approximately" 13½ cents an Hour
NEW YORK—The Contractors working on the Mississippi river levees have finally admitted practically all the charges of exploitation of Negro labor made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colore. People and have prepared a code under the National Recovery Act which will shorten the working week and raise the pay of workers.
Stephens of Mississippi and to have told him that all complaints about labor conditions will be corrected in the code. Senator Stephens is one of the three senators mamed to investigate conditions on the levees. Senator Wagner, of New York, chairman of the committee, is in Europe.
The N.A.A.C.P. has charged the contractors with starvation pay.
Fred Beneke, agent of the Mississippi Valley branch of the Associated General Contractors, said here last week that a code will be submitted to General Hugh S. Johnson, NRA administrator, providing for a 50-hour week for unskilled labor and a minimum day scale of 30 cents an hour. There are about 30,000 Negro unskilled workmen now on the levees.
Wages $1.50 a Day
Beneke admitted that the men have been working "about" 11 hours a day for "approximately" $1.50 a day, or about $13½ cents an hour.
As a matter of fact, the men have been working 77 and 84 hours weekly for many contractors who either work a seven-day week, 11 hours a day or a seven-day weel, 12 hours a day. In some counties in Mississippi, Sunday work is prohibited and in them 65, and 72 hour weeks have been worked. The N.A.A.C.P. has charged that Negro workers average 10 cents an hour in "book" wages and actually receive in cash 5 cents an hour or less. Beneke is said to have conferred with Senator Hugh
Southwest Community House Activity School to Close Next Week
The Summer Activity School at the Southwest Community House, under the direction of Mrs. Alma J. Scott, has had a successful session, and now plans are being completed for the closing to be held on Tuesday, August 15, at 8 p.m., at New Bell School.
The school had a record attendance with the following classes and instructors: art, Miss Eva Williams and Mrs. Elizabeth Anderson; sewing, Mrs. Mabel Hammond and Miss Gladys Booker, soap sculpturing and decorative art, Miss Conquello Jones; needle craft, Miss Marjorie Mitchell; music, Miss Gladys Ward; dramatics, Miss Nora Drew; recreation, Clarence Brown; sheet, metal work, O. F. N. Madden; carpentry, Melvin Lancaster.
The girls and boys have done creditable work and the exhibit promises a bright display of handicraft.
"A Rose Dream," a short operetta, will be presented by the music and dramatic departments, and a cast selected from the school.
A special "Play Day" was conducted last week with competitive activities, races, relays, tug-o'w, dance. A large group of citizens competitive ball games, folk in the community attended and the performance of the children exhibited skill in athletics.
Through the courtesy of the following undertakers in Southwest, Messrs, John T. Rhines Robert T. Campbell, Eugene. Ford, and Williams, gars were loaned to assist with transportation to Camp Pleasant each week. The children accompanied by their instructors enjoyed this weekly outing. Clyde Minor, Maceo Hill, Raymond Starks and Miss Ruby Jones were responsible for the careful handling of the children. Southwest Community House is located at 501 Second Street, Southwest.
District Police have been asked to look out for James Hutchinson, 40, of 928 Forty-seventh Place, Northeast, particularly since he is connected with the disappearance of a patrolman's service pistol.
Officer Thomas M. Carter, of the Fourth Precinct, reported, last week, that he placed Hutchinson under arrest, recently, but was assaulted, before he could take his prisoner in. Hutchinson disappeared, so did the revolver, hence the eagerness of police to question him.
Nobody Sees Thieves Steal House from Lot
WEST PALM, BEACH, Fla-
Theft of a house here last week at
Pleasant City from a corner lot
has baffled police.
Th. house, was situated on the
corner of Beautiful and Cheerful
Streets. Further, down Beautiful
Street police found a pile of

borhood knew anything about the
theft, police said.
Stephens of Mississippi and to have told him that all complaints about labor conditions will be corrected in the code. Senator Stephens is one of the three senators named to investigate conditions on the levee. Senator Wagner, of New York, chairman of the committee, is in Europe. The N.A.A.C.P. has charged the contractors with starvation pay. long hours, unsanitary camp conditions, camp commissary systems which rob the workers by charging exorbitant prices, and brutality. A study of the contractors' code will be made by the N.A.A.C.P. in order to see that all svils are corrected, especially the camp commissary systems which often take away one-half the pay of the workers.
N.A.A.C.P. Asks to Examine Code
"The N.A.A.C.P. has wired Gen. Johnson asking the privilege of studying the code submitted by the contractors," said Roy Wilkins, assistant secretary, who visited fifteen of the lee camps last December in the garb of a laborer. "We do not intend to let up in our fight until the exploited black laborers get a square dea, from the contractors working for the United States government. The contractors have rushed up with this code to prevent the senatorial investigation which was sure to reveal the moss shameful conditions of 'coulie' labor on work for the government itself. If the code corrects the condition, well and good; if it does not, we shall continue to fight."
Is Negro Day a Racket Or Not? Asks DePriest
CHICAGO, III. (CNS) — The widely announced "Negro Day" at the Century of Progress under the auspices of Chandler Owen of this city was declared by Congressman Oscar DePriest to have no official connection with the "Century of Progress Exposition" as many had supposed from the misleading statements sent out by news bureau here.
Congressman DePriest stated in a public letter that he with several other prominent Chicago citizens had been misled into allowing the use of their names on literature announcing the program. He declared that he had found out that the whole affair has nothing to do with the Century of Progress. A part of the Illinois Congressman's letter read as follows: "Is this whole thing a racket to make some money for some individual, or is the money to be devoted to some good cause? I have not yet been able to ascertain where the money is to go if any is made. No one in authority seems to be able to inform me on this subject. If the people of Chicago feel inclined to patronize the pageant outside of the fj, jr, which will undoubtedly be worthwhile, that is perfectly all right, but people of Chicago shall not be misled if I can prevent it."

LUMBER CODE IS ATTACKED AT R.C.A. HEARING
Dr. Robert C. Weaver Files Brief Showing Unfair Differentials
By P. M. CARTER
For the Associated Negro Press
Representing the Negro Industrial League at the recent public hearings on the lumber and timber industries, an administrative measure of President Roosevelt's Recovery Administration, Dr. Robert C. Weaver, sole Negro possessor of a Harvard Ph.D. in economics, presented to that body his statement concerning "the code of fair competition for the lumber and timber products industries."
In an explicit and substantiated report that struck at the very core of the so-called "new deal" code offered to the already down-trodden and depressed Negro workers in the Southern lumber mills, Dr. Weaver pointed out that 24 per cent of the workers attached to the lumber industry in the nation as a whole were Negroes, while South of the Mason-Dixon line 44 per cent of the lumbermen and raftsmen, 81 per cent of the woodchoppers, and 60 per cent of the laborers in that section were Negro.
Proposed Code Unfair
Dr. Weaver went further to explain that the economic well being of half a million Negro citizens was dependent upon the decision of the National Recovery Administration for a fair wage and an equitable period of weekly service for labor in the Southern branch of the industry, which was not forthcoming under the proposed code.
Explaining, he pointed out that the 91,816 Negro laborers in the Southern saw and planning mills will, under the code, be required to work 48 hours a week at 22½ cents per hour, or $10.80 a week, while white workers of the same type in the West Coast regions will be required to work only 40 hours a week, receiving 40 cents an hour, or $16.00 a week.
The yearly difference in buying power under such a wage scale would be $24,827,046.40 in favor of the white group. And since the increase in prices of basic foodstuffs and clothing knows no color line, the Negro worker would be left in a more deplorable condition than that in which he now exists.
Dr. Weaver also pointed out that the 734,528 man hours which Negro workers would be required to work in excess to their white fellow laborers, would provide jobs for 18,863 additional workers whose buying power would amount to $15,594,016 annually. And that if the combined $40,521,062.40 in increased buying power that under a fair code would fall to black workers is cutualled, there will be a decided subsequent depression in the businesses of hundreds of white merchants who depend largely on the Negro market.
In conclusion Dr. Weaver re-iterated the recommendation as proposed by the Negro Industrial League, of which John P. Davis is secretary, "that the minimum hourly wage in the Southern regions be not less than 40 cents an hour, and that the maximum weekly hours of service be approved for not more than 40 hours a week."
EDITOR'S NOTE. — Dr. Weaver and Mr. Davis, director of research and executive secretary, respectively of the Negro Industrial League, have appeared at all of the hearings so far held and have made arguments and filed briefs in the interest of Negro workers.
Prof. John L. Love, head, of the history department of Lincoln High School, Kansas, City, Mo., and an instructor in the old M Street High School, here, many years ago, was buried in that city, last week.
BY CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL.
STILL STROLLING AROUND:
The longer I am in Chicago, the move I am learning that the title given to it, "Windy City," is appropriate—and I am not thinking of weather conditions either.
Chicago, probably like all other cities, is great in contrast but never have my eyes been awakened to these contrasts. Perhaps it is so only now because my own conditions make and see things out of eyes attuned to the real facts.
The more I stroll around Chicago the less do I think of its greatness as a city—or of any other city for that matter. Why a city at all? Is this life—People packed together like sardines and with just enough as much freedom of action?
On the "Avenue" I see thousands of cars pass daily—beautiful cars, prosperous looking men and beautiful women ride therein. Perhaps they are enjoying life—in their way—racing here and there in obedience to a swiftly moving mechanical age.
Walk a block or two from the Avenue one we can see hundreds who are NOT enjoying life. A disheveled building discloses literally hundreds of humans. In the doorways, windows, stops, sidewalks, curbs, and in every inch of available space these beings with breath in their nostrils are existing—surely not living.
What are these droves of people doing in the city—no work, little food, few clothes, poor health, ambitions sapped out—yet existing from day to day? But to build a "great" and "windy" city is necessary to populate it with humans. Perhaps in their day these humans served their purpose and perhaps they even thought they were part of a great machine—political, civic or social—but in between campaigns, like their streets, alleys and improvements, they are entirely forgotten.
No wonder that as I stroll around I find that the undertakers are the most prosperous appearing of the colored gentry. City conditions breed a thriving business for these gentry, and the poor humans live with but one consulting thought and that is that they at least can die in style and at last can ride down the Avenue in regal state.
I often wondered how our business places could fail while owning hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of real estate or mortgages on real estate in the black belt. I am no longer puzzled. It is a sad reflection on the lack of racial unity. Not knowing individuals, cliques or factions. I can write things as I see them. Somewhere down the economic scale the spirit of greed has existed and the hideous skeletons stand today to attest to a short-sighted individual policy.
Of course, it is apparent that I am not a press agent for any of the civic organizations in Chicago. If I were I would write exclusively of the beautiful avenues, parks, boulevards, majestic and stately buildings, the great Century of Progress Exposition, and all the show places of the city, but no thoughts penetrate further than the show places and I seek life in the reality, and I find it. Nothing that I have ever read of slavery could possibly be worse than are some of the conditions I see, feel and sense.
But, Chicago. I love you! I means freedom to me. And if some of its sights depress and sadden me I can find seclusion in my little working headquarters and there write and think of life as it is and as I would have it—if I could. In my work, with a few friends, and freedom, I am happy—and rich—in happiness that cannot be bought but which takes years of actual suffering to appreciate when it comes. And it is here! And I am grateful to Him that provides it.
And Before That?
Marie—How long have you been working in this office?
Joe—Ever since they threatened to fire me.—Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.
ANACOSTIA GETS FIRST PLAYHOUSE FOR COLORED
SECOND SECTION
CHURCHCASH REMAINS TIED UP
Rev. Jernagin Seeks $220
Due Him Following
Court's Grant
ATTORNEYS' DISPUTES
ENLIVEN HEARING
Efforts of the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, of the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, to collect a $220 debt from a local contractor, and the subsequent tipping up of the funds of the Third Baptist Church for whom the contractor worked, caused verbal clashes between opposing counsel as the case entered its fourth day, Thursday, which enlivened the proceedings before Judge James A. Cobb, in Municipal Court.
Following the taking of four days of testimony, the case was continued until August 24, with the church funds yet tied up, and the Rev. Mr. Jernagin yet unpaid. Briefly told, the Rev. Mr. Jernagin loaned Odell Parker, the contractor in question, the sum of $220 on a promissory note. Failing to secure his money in due time, the Rev. Mr. Jernagin took the case to the District Supreme Court, and obtained judgment against Parker, May 26.
Church Gets Writ
It happened that Parker was working on a job for the Third Baptist Church at this time. Through his attorney, George A. Parker, the Rev. Mrs Jervagin immediately had a writ of garnishment and attachment issued against any funds the Third Baptist Church which might belong to Parker. A copy was served on the church treasurer, Walker J. Robinson, May 31. The latter filed answer on June 10, claiming that Parker had been in full four days before the writ was served.
When examined orally on June 26, Mr. Robinson testified to the effect that the officers of the church had paid out $482,24, to creditors of Mr. Parker after May 31. The court then issued a judgment of condemnation against the Third Baptist Church for $220 and attorneys' fees and costs. Attorney W. L. Houston, representing the church, immediately filed motion to vacate the judgment, contending the church had no money, of Parker's at the time of the service of the writ.
**Collusion Hinted**
The clashes occurred during the recalling of a Mr. Coleman, an officer of the Third Baptist Church, to the stand by Attorney Parker. The latter's questioning of Mr. Coleman was directed toward the matter of whether or not he had secured certain papers from Contractor Parker following a hearing of a motion in the case, in July.
Mr. Coleman was not clear in some of his answers as to his actions as Attorney Parker quizzed him in detail. After Mr. Coleman had admitted that he had carried Contractor Parker home after the hearing and had been in his company on other occasions, Attorney Parker queried, "Is it not true that Parker did bring papers from his house ordering the church to pay certain bills?" Attorney W. H. Hastie, associated with Mr. Houston objected. Attorney Parker retorted that there was an effort being made to suppress evidence.
Threatens to Withdraw
Mr. Houston leaped to his feet, exclaiming, "I have been used to trying cases with gentlemen. If the fellow on the other side is to be permitted to carry on in this manner and violate the rules of the court, I will withdraw."
"I wouldn't withdraw if I were you," responded Attorney Parker, "I might want to use you for a witness."
"I resent anything you say," declared Mr. Houston.
Judge Cobb joined the tray with an appeal, "I hone there will be no clashes between counsel. That evidence is being suppressed is a very strong statement."
Attorney Parker apologized for any "seeming impropriety," but assured the judge that his line of questioning meant to bring out testimony that there had been a collusion between certain officers of the church and Contractor Parker.
Accuses Opponent
Attorney Parker then told Judge Cobb that Mr. Eubston had learned over him and made the remark.

BROTHERS FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF SISTER'S ESTATE
BROTHERS FIGHT FOR CONTROL OF SISTER'S ESTATE
One Claims the Other Can't Read or Write and Is not Qualified
Two brothers, each claiming he is the proper person to administer the affairs of the estate of their deceased sister, Mrs. Rosie Bowman, late of Twenty-fifth Street, Southeast, have asked the District Probate Court to recognize individual claims and grant the necessary papers.
Mrs. Bowman died the past January, leaving personal property amounting to $954, and the premises on Twenty-fifth Street, valued at about $2,500.
Counter Request Filed
On June 19, Joseph Bower, 2447
Naylor Road, Southeast, one of the
brothers, asked the court to grant
him letters of administration,
through his attorneys, Lewis and
Lewis. The petition averred that
the only debts left by the deceased
were those incidental to her last
illness, and would not exceed $500.
A counter request for administrative
letters, which also asked
that the original be denied was
filed, last week, by Charles W.
Bower, the oldest brother, through
his attorney, A. W. Gray.
The latest petitioner claims that
he is the largest creditor of the
estate, and that he is the proper
one to manage it. He also declares
that the monies termed as personal
property had been collected and
applied to indebtedness due, including
funeral expenses of the sister.
Can't Read or Write
The oldest brother calls the attention of the court to the petition of Joseph, now pending. According to him, the younger brother is not acquainted with the affairs and circumstances, surrounding the business of the deceased. He states also that the younger brother is unable to read or write, therefore is not qualified to act as administrator, if appointed.
The oldest brother also contends that debts left by the deceased amounted to about $1,244, including funeral, and not $350, as claimed by the younger brother. A denial of the petition of the latter is asked.
The survivors are given as:
Joseph E. Bowyer, brother, of 2447
Naylor Road Southeast; Edward
Bowyer, brother, whereabouts unknown;
Mac Bowyer, brother, residence unknown; Charles O. Chisley, nephew, 603 Four-and-One-Half Street, Southwest; Edward Crawford, nephew, 1305 Tenth Street, Northwest; George and Joseph Crawford, nephews, of Bowie, Md., and Charles W. Bowyer, brother.

Found unconscious in the road near Indian Head, Md., William B. Smith, 35, of 2811 Eleventh Street, Northwest, a barber was carried to Emergency Hospital for treatment, early Monday morning, in a taxi-cab.
Smith was found to have a fracture of the skull, a broken nose, and numerous cuts about the body. The injured man declared he left Indian Head about midnight, Sunday, in a friend's automobile, but could not explain how he was hurt. County officials are investigating to find out whether or not he fell from the automobile or was thrown out.
Auto Strikes Pole
Four, persons narrowly escaped serious injury on the Colesville Pike, Sunday, when an automogile driven by James Harrington, of the 2500 block of Sherman Avenue, Northwest, skidded and struck a telegraph pole.
They were: Miss Georgia Powell, Miss Edna Plummer, and Harrington himself. The latter was charged with reckless driving by the Maryland state police. The occupants were shaken up, but otherwise unharmed.
After his machine had knocked down a telegraph pole on the Wheaton-Four Maryland Corners Road, Richard Adams, of Brunt Mills Md., was also charged with reckless driving.
Charged as Hit-Run
The driver of a machine was held under $500 bond at Silver Spring, Md., by Justice of Pesce David Mears, Sunday, after the automobile in which he and two other men wee riding struck an elderly white man at Colesville, Md.
George W. Bellows, of Good Hope, Md., is said by police to have driven the machine which struck B. J. Nicholson, 65, white. Bellows was charged with hit-run and failing to offer assistance. The victim received severe head injuries.
Five Get Minor Hurts
Five persons, including a boy, 5, and a man, 51, were among those slightly injured in week-end automobile accidents about the city.

When a taxicab and a street car collided, N. Atkinson, 29, of 608 M Street, Northwest, was slightly injured about the left shoulder. An examination by staff physicians at Freedmen's Hospital revealed no evidences of a fracture or a dislocation.
Mrs. Victoria Price, 30, of 4406 Edds Street, Northwest, was bruised about the ankles when hit by an automobile at Fifth and Florida Avenue.
Edgar Dougans, 27, of 629 Marion-Court, Northwest, received a possible fracture of a bone of the left arm when he was struck by an automobile at the intersection of New Jersey and Rhode Island Avenues.
Funeral service for Joseph Smith, a native African who has been attending school in this country, was held Thursday at Andrew Rankin Memorial Chapel, Howard University. Smith was a former student at Howard, but had been attending West Virginia State College and Meharry Medical School, Nashville, Tenn. He died July 29 at Denmar, West Virginia. Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard, conducted the service. He was assisted by the Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church. The youth was buried in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery.
A cablegram received by Dr. Johnson from the youth's father who is in Africa, gave permission for the boy to be buried in this country. Dr. Johnson and several local churches were instrumental in financing the youth's education before he was taken ill.

Daughter Elks to Choose One to High Office
Mrs. E. H. H.
BUENA KELLEY GIBBS who at the death of her mother became grand secretary of Elk temples
LOCAL TEMPLES TOLD TO ENDORSE FOUNDER'S KIN
Secretaryship of Daughter Elks Sought by Officer of Harlem Lodge
The women of the Elks order are apt to steal the show at the Indianapolis convention when it convenes there August 21. Delegates of Morning Star, and Forest Temples have been instructed to endorse the nomination of Mrs. Buena Kelley Gibbs, of Norfolk, Va. for grand financial secretary of Daughter Elks. Her strongest opponent will be Lucy Nutter Wallace, of New York City who claims a big backing in Harlem where her campaign headquarters are located.
The Norfolk Journal and Guide states that temples in thirty-five states, the District of Columbia, the Bahama Island, and Canal Zone, have given their official endorsement to Mrs. Buena Kelley Gibbs for the office. The women's lodges operate in forty-three states.
According to the Eagle, the official organ of the Elks, it is stated that in New York the "members of the temples and the East in general, are rallying to the candidacy of Daughter Lucy Nutter Wallace who aspires to be grand secretary of the temples.
"Daughter Wallace is now and has been for several years financial secretary of Eureka Temple, of New York City, one of the largest temple in the jurisdiction of the Elks.
"For more than twenty years she has been secretary or president of several large organizations in New York. Her work, however, as financial secretary of Eureka Temple has been so excellent as to bring her widespread commendation, and thoroughly equips her for the more important work of grand secretary."
Sectionalism Injected
Further the Eagle article states:
"The large territory of the East realizes that the grand secretary-ship has responded in the South since the inception of the temples; and, while love and admiration for Mother Kelley, who held the office since its first formation to the time of her death, remains supreme among all the daughters of this section of the country, the feeling prevails at this time that a secretary should be elected on merit and service performed to Elkdom
and on that issue alone.
Actively supporting. Daughter
Wallace is a campaign club in New
York headed by Deputy Julia Johnson.
This club is asking all daughters
to study the record of their
candidate and then to vote for the
best qualified regardless of sentiment.
Held by Founder
The office became vacant in December, 1882, following the death of Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, Norfolk founder of the Daughter Elks and for thirty-one years its grand secretary.
For several years, Mrs. Gibbs, who is a graduate of St. Paul's School, Lawrenceville, was secretary to her mother, accompanied her from childhood, to the conventions, and learned the workings of the motion-wide organization. Upon the death of her mother, Mrs. Gibbs was appointed to continue her duties until the coming convention.
Temples in Norfolk and other Virginia cities have supported Mrs. Gibbs in office and have endorsed
LUCY NUTTER WALLACE who is Harlem's choice in the race for the grand secretaryship of Elk temples.
S.W. PREACHERS HOLD SERVICES ON 12 CORNERS
Street Preaching Designed to Aid Moral Condition of the People
In an effort to improve the moral conditions of the people, eleven preachers in Southwest Washington last Saturday concluded a series of evening sermons preached from twelve street corners in the section.
Each night last week, the clergymen gathered at the Mount Moriah Baptist Church, Third and L Streets, Southwest. After a short get-together, they separated and went to different corners of the section preaching and singing. A nine-piece band, the Sunner Christian Band, accompanied one of the ministers.
Th. permit to hold the services which had been given through the co-operation of the police department, expired last Saturday and was not renewed.
Movement a Success
Contradictory to reports in a daily paper that the services were held in the streets because people weren't attending church, the Rev. Benjamin H. Whiting, pastor of the Friendship Baptist Church, told the Tribune that last week was known as "Religious Week" in Southwest and that the services were conducted to carry the gospel to those who don't attend any church.
He said, "It was quite a success. People who had been sitting around playing cards and shooting crap joined us in praying and singing. The preachers plan to make it an annual practice and to have the last week in July known as "Religious Week." The movement started in a meeting of the Southwest Civic Association of which John T. Rhines is president. The association is also distributing letters on home training to parents in the section.

McGhee passed out until he was rudely awakened by an officer who swung a night stick against his feet and took him to No. 4 Precinct Station. In Police Court, Saturday, McGhee was charged $10 by Judge Ralph Given for the night's lodging.

Minister Contends Victim Was Scraped in Fight; Wife Fined $8.50
The technical difference between a scrape and a cut did not influence Judge J. Chew Sheriff when the Rev. Charles Hungerford, of Fairmont Heights, Md., was brought before the court last week for cutting Benjamin Day.
After viewing the wound Judge Sheriff fined the Rev. M. Hungerford $1 and costs after stating that it was a "dollar scrape."
The minister was his own expert on the difference between cuts and scrapes and told the court, "Now judge, I am accused of cutting a man, and anyone can see that's not a cut. A cut would be decisive and sharp edged. That, your honor, is a scrape. I only scraped that man.
However, scrape or cut, it cost the minister $4.50. A fine of $8.50 against his wife, Mrs. Cora Hungerford, for disorderly conduct, was suspended.

The first playhouse erected on a District of Columbia Municipal Playground for colored children was dedicated Saturday at the Barry Farms Playground in Anacostia. This event marks a significant step in the progress of our largest local playground, the site for which was purchased by the District Commissioners in 1926.
The playhouse is a two-story structure of modified Dutch Colonial type, sturdy and charming in its simplicity. On the first floor are playrooms game rooms, and rest rooms. The second floor is designed for a library and rooms for small children.
3,000 Witness Ceremonies
Approximately three thousand persons witnessed, the imposing dedicatory ceremonies, held outdoors under a natural canopy of the century-old trees, which cover a considerable portion of the spacious grounds surrounding the playhouse on all sides.
Following the inovation by the Reverend P. A. Scott, remarks of welcome were made by Miss Eugenia Perkins. Miss Emma V. Smit, life-long citizen of Anacostia, delivered the principal address. She recounted the early history of the playground site recalling the pioneers, Solomon Brown, Frederick Douglass, his three sons and their families, all of whom were among the first citizens of what was then known as Hilldale.
Then, Miss Smith discussed the present trend toward the development of recreational centers. She emphasized the fact that this movement is vital to the security of our national life.
Keys Presented
One of the most impressive features of the dedication was the raising of the "Stars and Stripes" under the direction of Captain Art ur C. Newman, assisted by a group of enlisted U.S.A. men, and local high school cadets.
Carroll Robb, engineer of the playground department, presented the keys of the house to Miss Sibyl Baker, white supervisor of municipal playgrounds. Miss Baker in turn presented the keys to the director of the Barry Farms Playground, Mrs. Florence S. Matthews.
Elzie Hoffman, who was designated to represent the community, relinquished his time to Captain Sidney J. Marks, commander of the Eleventh police precinct.
Wins Civic Award
The nationally known Community Centers Band conducted by Professor James E. Miller played patriotic and popular airs throughout the afternoon. An unexpected feature came when Miss Baker announced that Barry Farms Playground with a score of 200 points had won the coveted blue and gold civic award banner in a city-wide campaign sponsored by the American Automobile Association. Amid cheers, Miss Baker presented the banner:
Mrs. William Lee Corbin, white of the Women's Civic Council, explained the origin of this campaign for "Safety—Order—Progress" on the D.C. Playgrounds.
Hold Exhibition
An exhibition drill by James Reese Europe Post No. 5, of the American Legion served as a colorful closing to the program. The Rev. J. T. Marshall pronounced the benediction. An inspection of the playhouse followed.
Flowers were presented to Miss Sibyl Baker, Miss Emma V. Smith, Mrs. Florence Matthews, director, and Miss Vesta Kinney, assistant director.

Baptist Conference Elects the Rev. Robert Anderson
NEW PRESIDENT IS UNANIMOUS CHOICE OF BODY
Conference Votes to Hold 1933-34 Sessions at Vermont Avenue
In a meeting which broke all previous records for duration, the Baptist Ministers Conference of Washington and Vicinity, Monday, unanimously elected the Rev. Robert Anderson, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, president of the conference for the year 1933-34. The Rev. Mr. Anderson, who has served the conference in two other capacities—as treasurer and first vice-president—succeeds the Rev. Augustus Lewis, pastor of the Jerusalem Baptist Church.
Other officers elected during the lengthy session were the Rev. K. W. Roy, first vice-president; the Rev. L. T. Hughes, second vice-president; the Rev. J. W. Henderson, secretary; the Rev. N. R. Richardson, assistant secretary; the Rev. L. R. Frazier, treasurer; the Rev. A. H. S. Johnson, historian; and the Rev. S. A. Bass, statistician. The latter five officers were elected unanimously.
Election Surprises
The election of the Rev. Mr. Henderson as secretary came as a surprise to many members of the conference. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, who had served in this capacity since the death of the late Rev. L. I. Loving, secretary for the conference for over two decades, was expected to be re-elected to the position, however, he was elected as second vice-president of the body before nominations for the secretaryship were in order.
The election of officers, programmed as the main order of the day, failed to get under way until b440 o'clock. The session carried a three-fold scope in that, first, it marked the last meeting of the conference in the Florida Avenue Baptist Church where the body has met for the past five years; secondly, it was the last time for the retiring president, the Rev. Mr. Lewis, to preside; and third, it closed the 1932-33 conference year.
To Meet at Vermont Avenue
The conference meetings will be resumed September 18 at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church where the body voted to hold next year's sessions. The Rev. C. T. Murray, pastor, extended the invitation to the conference. During the interim many of the ministers will attend the Mount Bethel Baptist Convention to be held in Baltimore, August 22, and the National Baptist Convention, which opens in Memphis, Tenn. September 5.
Retiring President Honored
Prior to election, a special committee, appointed by first vice-president Anderson, recommended that a gift of $20 be given to the retiring president, the Rev. Mr. Lewis; $15 be given to the secretary, the Rev. Mr. Hughes, and that a gift of $5 be handed to Major Toles, sexton of the Florida Avenue Baptist Church. The committee's report was received with enthusiasm by the body.
Four sisters, members of the Jerusalem Baptist Church, presented a bouquet of flowers to the Rev. Mr. Lewis in behalf of his congregation. In a brief, but eloquent, farewell speech, the president expressed his sincere thanks to the conference members; for their support and loyalty during his term of office and said that it had been "a great delight" for him to have been able to serve them
An instrumental solo was rendered by Bernice Jones, eight-year-old member of the St. James Baptist Church, and the Wilson Kind Quartet sang several spirituals.
Reports Are Heard
The annual reports of the officers were read, received and adopted. The Rev. Mr. Hughes, secretary, reported that the conference, had received a total of $139.60 during the year, and expended $92.73, leaving a balance of $46.87 on hand.
A report submitted by the treasurer, the Rev. H. T. Gaskins, showed that through the conference $423.77 had been given in benevolence during the year including gifts of $200 and $80 to Shaw University and Manassas Industrial School, respectively.
An incomplete report was given by the Rev. J. Bundrant, historian.
With all other business out of the way, and nothing on hard but the election, the ministers delayed the election by opening a 30-minute discussion over the eligibility of members to vote. A roll call of the members was called to determine the financial status of each member. One pastor, who was found to be unfinancial, charged that there was some discrepancy in the records. However, after 30 minutes of heated debating a motion to allow the unfinancial member to pay a compromising amount was passed and the election got underway.
The weekly sermon was preached by the Rev. M. A. Hunter.

CATHOLICS PREPARE FOR CLEVELAND CONVENTION
CLEVELAND, Ohio—(ANP)—Dr. S. J. Markee, white, director of publicity for the National Catholic Interracial Federation, arrived here this week and opened headquarters for the annual convention which will be held September 2 to 4 at the Cleveland Cathedral of St. John. Last year the convention met in New York City. It was estimated that four thousand colored Catholics attended St. Patrick's Cathedral to receive Holy Communion at that time. It was at this session that a controversy over certain interracial aspects of the organization which attracted national attention sprang up, between the then president, Dr. Thomas W. Turner, and various officials of the organization.
Dr. Turner, subsequently deposed by an alleged ramp meeting of the executive committee, was succeeded by George W. B. Conrad, of Cincinnati who will preside over the Cleveland session.
At a subsequent meeting of the executive committee it was held that Dr. Turner's alleged deposition was illegal. However, a few weeks later he and several of the other officers resigned and formed a new federation, or reorganized the former one, as the Federated Colored Catholics of America. This body is scheduled to meet in Washington, the last week in August.

A.
THE REV. ROBERT ANDERSON
The unanimous election of the Rev. Robert Anderson, pastor of the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church as president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Washington and vicinity to that body, Monday brings to a fitting climax the untiring efforts of a progressive minister.
Only 44 years of age, the Rev. Mr. Anderson recently celebrated his twenty-fifth anniversary in the religious field. During the period that he has been a member of the local conference, he has served in two other official capacities. Under the administration of the Rev. W. A. Gray, he was treasurer, and for the past two years has served as first vice-president under the administration of the retiring president, the Rev. Augustus Lewis.
Attended Howard University
A native of Culpeper County, Va., the Rev. Mr. Anderson attended the public schools and high schools of that state. He later studied at Howard University, and the Washington Baptist Seminary, besides undertaking a long private course.
Fresh from college, the Rev. Mr. Anderson, in 1918, set up a temporary mission at the corner of Eleventh and V Strees, Northwest, where for two years a small band of followers worshipped. In 1923 the old mission house was abandoned and the congregation, under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. Anderson, moved to the present site at 1106 W Street, Northwest.
The old mission, now the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church, stands out as one of the most progressive Baptist churches in the city. Much of its success is attributed to the leadership ability and progressive spirit of its pastor.
The Rev. Mr. Anderson is married and has one daughter, Miss Elizabeth Anderson, Dunbar High School graduate and clerk in the church.
Federated Catholics to Meet in Washington

"I'll knock your block off," during the hearing.
On the instant, Attorney Houston was on his feet disclaiming ever having made such a statement.
As Judge Cobb remarked that he had not heard such a statement and admonished the attorneys to cease their clashing. Attorney Houston continued his denials while Attorney Parker declared, "I though it would be far flung for Mr. Houston to say such a thing. He's too much of a gentleman."
After the flurry, Judge Cobb allowed Attorney Parker to continue his questioning of Mr. Coleman in an attempt to produce testimony showing collusion.
With a few detailed questions, Mr. Parker dismissed the witness and called B. Dodson, secretary of the Deacon Board, who was sitting in the court room. All witnesses had been formerly requested to leave. Mr. Houston objected to the testimony of Mr. Dodson, the latter explaining that he had arrived late and came directly to the court room. Mr. Parker explained that he was simply summoned to bring some records. Mr. Houston withdrew his objection and requested to see Dodson's subpoena.
"If I had received a subpoena like that," exclaimed Mr. Houston, "I would have simply come to court bringing a piece of paper. You can't tell anything by that subpoena.
"He's here in answer to it," Mr. Parker rejoined.
Then followed a reading of the records of the joint meetings of the deacons and trustees wherein any reference was made to the work of Contractor Parker. Frequently, Mr. Hastie would object to some of Mr. Parker's questions. On one occasion, he declared, "Mr. Parker has asked that question once, he has asked it twice, and he asked it three times." Following frequent objections and explanations, Attorney Parker would continue in his own way, asking minute and detailed information of witnesses about everything he doubted.
Until the case was continued, the battle of wits between the opposing attorneys prevented the hearing from becoming borsome and often caused a merry twinkle in the eyes of Judge Cobb and his court clerk.

The Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union
WHAT IT REPRESENTS
The election of James A. Brown, president of the Golden Rule Christian Endeavor Union of this city to the trustee board of international body, and the prominence of the local union in the convention at Milwaukee brings to attention again the International Society of Christian Endeavor i: relation to the union. While the union has participated with distinction in the affairs of the international society for a number of years, it seems to be continuously enhancing its prestige. The esteem in which the union is held by the international society demonstrated anew that color is no bar to recognition. When President Brown was called, o the platform to receive the prize for the union at Milwaukee, the convention burst into unrestrained applause.
Another symbol of their importance was the seating of the local folk six rows from the platform in an auditorium which accommodates twelve thousand people. They became the cynosure of all eyes. They were sought out and sought after. They were invited to meet the mayor of the City of Milwaukee at the city hall. Their appearance in the parade was the signal for more applause. The fact that they were colored made no difference whatever. They merited all the honors that came to them, and a convention which was predominately white did not hesitate to acknowledge it. That is the spirit of Christian Endeavor, and it is the policy of the international society.
The Golden Rule Union takes no pride in the fact that it is the only colored union functioning as such in the "congregation of unions." It regrets the fact. It has visioned the opportunity presented by its connection with the international body to promote interracial good will and to demonstrate the capabilities of members of our racial group for achievement. It wishes that there might be a larger acceptance of the opportunity by colored Endeavors in other cities. This is not to say that no colored people besidesthose in this city attend the conventions and participate in its program. That is not true. A few Negroes from various cities are sprinkled through the assembly and there are other colored men on the board of trustees. But the Golden Rule Union is the only group of colored Endeavors which functions as a union.
Endeavorors in other cities are not organized. They do not maintain an orderly, continuous solidarity with a definite program. Perhaps at convention time a group of workers will be formed from those attending the convention to represent some certain city, church, or denomination. But their lack of permanent organization and record of accomplishment is a handicap. And the result is a non-creditable spectacle in the parade with no uniformity of appearance; or they are not recognized at all in the convention proceedings.
Experience has proved that accomplishment is the fruit of real work. The place in the affairs of Church Endeavor to which the Golden Rule Union has attained was reached by the laborious prosecution of a definite program. It is to be hoped that colored
young people's groups in other cities will recognize the opportunity presented by association with the international society and prepare now to be present in Philadelphia in 1935 with work which will demand recognition and merit high regard.

WOMAN CLAIMS YOUTH SHESHOT MADE THREATS
Slaying Follows Argument When All Are Ordered from House
With claims that she fatally shot Robert Earl Jones, 24, of 1231 S Street, as he advanced towards her second floor bedroom after threatening her, Mrs. Ada Cato, alias Ada Hailey, 23, of 631 W Street, Northwest, was held for the grand jury by a coroner's jury, on Tuesday.
Jones was shot at Mrs. Hailey's residence, early Sunday morning, the bullet entering the left chest, puncturing the left lung, passing through the heart, the right lung and imbedding itself near the ninth rib. He was rushed to Freedmen's Hospital in a passing automobile, but was dead on arrival, according to Dr. H. A. Burnett, of the staff.
Ordered Out
Testimony was to the effect that a dice game had been in progress at the house, but had broken up and the occupants ordered out because of their noise by the woman. Mrs.Mrs. Cato was upstairs, and Jones is stated to have started up the steps with an oath, when he was shot. John H. Wilson, representing the defendant, grilled practically every witness as to the foregoing statement. Horace Tatem, of 2202 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, testified. "Ada and Jones were arguing. Finally Ada went up-stairs. In about five minutes they started arguing again. I do not know what they were arguing about, but both were using profane language. Ada ordered everybody out of the house. Then I heard a shot and saw Jones fall. I don't know where the shot came from."
Hears Argument
Floyd Actor, of 627 W Street, Northwest, stated:
"I went to the house about 5 o'clock in the morning. A fellow won all the money and the game broke up. We sat around and talked a little bit, then I went out. While on the outside I heard Ada tell everybody to get out. I heard two shots and rushed back and helped to take Jones to the hospital.
Joseph Gordon, 1919 Nine-and-One-Half Street, declared:
"I was lying down on a cot asleep when the argument between Ada and Jones woke me up. I didn't hear anybody say get out, but I started to go. As I started out, I heard a shot. I turned around to look and saw the boy fall down."
Rufus Hailey, of 631 W Street, Northwest, the common-law husband of the defendant, waived his right to testify.
He stated that during the argu-
BOARD MEMBER
DEFENDS MARRIED
SCHOOL TEACHERS
Worthy District school teachers who are in danger of dismissal because their husbands are in the government service should be protected despite the economy program, Henry I. Quinn, white, new member of the board of education, told that body last week.
Mr. Quinn said he would endeavor to find legal means of protecting jobs of such teachers. He was supported by Mrs. Henry Grattan Doyle and Henry Gilligan, both white members of the board.
"Instruction of children is more important than saving dollars," Mr. Quinn said.
for the first time in over a year not a colored member was present, Charles Houston, recently elected member, is out of the city attending the National Bar Association in St. Louis; Dr. J. I'ayden Johnson, veteran member of the board and Mrs. Mary McNeill were absent due to personal illness.
Holdup Slayer Ordered to Ward for Insane
Suffering from a mental disease known to alienists as "prison psychosis," Fewell Workman, one of the four men convicted of the slaying of Elner B. Ecklund, was ordered committed to the ward for the criminally insane at St. Elizabeths Hospital, Friday, after a hearing before the District Supreme Court.
Workman was serving a life sentence passed on him, after he Claude Myers, Albert Cash, and Everette Blackman, the latter two white, were convicted of slaying Ecklund in an attempt to rob him. Ecklund was paymaster of a painting concern engaged at the House Office building. As he emerged from his office with the payroll, several months ago, he was held up and to death. The four bandits were caught next day and were convicted of second-degree murder.
Workman showed signs of insanity shortly after he was sent to prison, according to physicians.
Miss Esther Perkins, in company with a party of friends, motored to Harrisonburg, Virginia, last week to visit with friends.
ment Jones said to Mrs. Cato, "I'm going to smash you, and your old man both. Ada said, 'No, Earl, don't hit me,'" Hailey continued.
The common-law husband testified that there had been previous trouble with Jones, and he was afraid of him because "he was supposed to be bad." Hailey said he did nothing when Jones spoke of smashing him, although standing near by.
Bernard Morris, of 631 W Street also, corroborated Hailey's statements about Jonas's position on the steps, and Mrs. Cato being in her bed-room, apparently, when the fatal shot was fired.
Mr. Wilson did not place Mrs. Cato on the stand.
Harlem Hospital Rumpus is Carried to New York Court
Dr. Louis T. Wright Sues Amsterdam News for $140,000 Damages; So-Called Secret Report of Investigating Committee Figures in Case
THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
By GEORGE S. SCHUYLER
NEW YORK.-Charging malicious libel and defamation of character by the New York Amsterdam News in fourteen articles appearing in its news and editorial columns since December 21, 1932.
Dr. Louis T Wright, secretary of the medical board of the Harlem Hospital, New York police surgeon, and visiting surgeon on the staff of the Harlem Hospital, filed suit on Friday against the prominent Harlem weekly for damages of $140,000 on fifteen counts.
Over a period of nine months the New York Amsterdam News has charged the hospital administration, and particularly Dr. John Connors (white), the chief surgeon, and Dr. Louis T Wright, with segregation, discrimination, inefficiency, and mis-management, and on at least two occasions with indirectly causing the death of two patients.
N.A.A.C.P. Appoints Investigators
N.A.A.C.P. Appoints Investigators On January 21, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People appointed a committee of distinguished physicians and laymen to investigate the charges. The members of the committee, the N.A.A.C.P., its secretary, Walter White, and Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, distinguished editor of the Crisis, were immediately subjected to a series of scathing attacks, editorially and pictorially.
Joined row by the North Harlem Medical Society, the International Labor Defense, a Communist adjunct, and Dr. Adam Powell, Jr., assistant pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church, whose father, the Rev. A. Clayton Powell, is a member of the investigating committee, and a member of the board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P., the Amsterdam News helped stage mass meetings of protest against the alleged conditions at the hospital. Young Mr. Powell led a delegat down to the city hall to protest to the mayor and the board of estimate. The newspaper charged that the N.A.A.C.P. and its committee intended to white-wash the hospital and Dr. Wright instead of making a fair and impartial investigation.
Much was made of the fact that Dr. Wright is a member of the board of directors of the N.A.A.C.P. and a friend of Walter White and Du Bois. A great effort was made to discredit the N.A.A.C.P. investigation by arousing public opinion against it.
Hires Investigators
Meantime, the committee proceeded with its work. E. H. L. Corwin and Dr. Gertrude Sturges, nationally famous white investigators of hospitals, were hired by the committee to gather data for study. This work required several months. When completed it was mineographed and a copy sent by the
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1933
chairman of the committee, Dr. Walter Niles, white, to each member of the committee for study and suggestions with a request that the nature of the material not be divulged until after the committee had made its final report. Nevertheless, some member, presumably a Negro, permitted the Amsterdam News to get hold of the data. The newspaper immediately published some of the material that suited its purpose in garbled and grossly unfair form, wrenched out of the context declaring it to be the report of the committee and "secret."
OUR MAIL
(Continued from page 4) straight and narrow paths of life. They have forsaken the citadel of Christianity and the tenets of orthodox religion, and have become the worshipers of a materialistic ideology. By so doing they have lost sight of spiritual values in their dealings with their fellowmen, locally, nationally and internationally. One can observe that since the inception of the machine age that there has been a significant change in intellectual outlook, in agriculture, in religion, in commerce, in transportation, and communication. But the church has lost its former power.
Prior to this inception it was the controlling and the stabilizing factor in the government of civilization. Men's thoughts are turned away from religious ideas to materialistic ideas. For they have reached a point in their intellectual development where they believe that they are the masters of human destiny.
The machine age has led to the induction of capitalism, specialization and individualism. In the setting up of the new machinery of civilization man has failed to take into consideration that a vital part has been left out. For he has not made an adequate provision for God. So our modern order finds itself in a state of chaotic conditions.
The jills of our modern order cannot be cured through the medium of economic conferences or by any one nation alone, until the nations of the world reaffirm their faith in God. But until then the chaotic conditions of our modern order will continue to exist.

Popguns May Harass a Gunner
When His Cannon Will Not Fire.
Editor, The Tribune:
What's all the excitement about Negroes turning away from our beloved old democracy to communism, anyway? Is there something
in the discovery that proves significant in the light of our own social experiences and practices? And do our standards of "liberty" and "justice" lend themselves so readily to undermining influences that reason and common sense cannot arrest, nor knowledge and existence contradict?
But what are the Negro's best interests and welfare? Here the political experts divide, and prejudiced sociologists break down in their efforts to evolve a dual standard of existence from a simple principle having but one logical application.
Justice, they opine, is merely an expression in the abstract of altruistic bremises, too vast to be adequately defined and more difficult still to realize; and equality must always be measured by the strata of social influence it is able to penetrate. Our present order seems to say: The pursuit of happiness is yours—but try and catch it!
No, it is not the communistic form of government that interests the colored brother. Ten out of ten thousands of them could not even pronounce the word, to say nothing about knowing what it is. Rather it is the promise of the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness dangled before their faces by communistic agencies, followed by feverish activity in that direction, and some real, visible results that argue for themselves.
And, of course, when "dictatorship of the proletariat" is translated to mean the end of lynching, Jim-crowism, disfranchisement and other forms of proscription—permitted by democracy and encouraged by Christianity—it immediately becomes the language of the American people. Its familiarity is such that even children can understand; so simple, in fact, that apparently everything seems to understand it—except the church and the government.
White people could do much toward removing their own fear of the Negro, if they would work as zealously for the cause of human rights for Negroes in Georgia as for Jews in Germany; if they were as interested in missionary work in the south's states as in the South Scas; and if more of their preachers of righteousness believed enough in their doctrine to practice it themselves.
If more attention were paid to Alabama than Abyssinia, there would be no Scottsboro scandal on which the "Reds" could capitalize the dissatisfaction among the colored groups. If there were no jim-crowisms, lynching, disfranchisement and other flagrant violations of the Negro's rights in this country, he would perhaps represent the least approachable element of the population to any governmental manipulation.
But so long as these conditions obtain; so long as even in the nation's capital Negroes are jim-crowed and segregated in every sphere except two—street cars and the baseball park—just that long needs there be suspicion that he will offer no discouragement to any group whose efforts ostensibly are directed toward the elimination of these evils.

The Courts of the District of Columbia
By J. FLIPPER DERRICOTTE
To settle the many disputes arising between party-liligants, and punish the various defendants charged with infractions of law, there are six courts with thirty-triple judges that sit within the District of Columbia.
The accompanying chart shows the various courts of the District of Columbia in their relative positions, as well as the judges of said courts and data relating to them. The chart also shows the organization and personnel of the offices connected with the courts through which many routine matters pass.
It is of interest to note that these courts and judges fall within two classes; namely, Inferior Courts and judges, and Superior Courts and judges. The former class consists of the Municipal Court, the Juvenile Court, and the Police Court, with their judges; whereas, the latter class consists of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, and the Supreme Court of the United States, with their judges.
The Police Court
The Police Court of the District of Columbia consists of four judges, learned in the law, appointed by the President of the United States by and with the advice and consent of the Senate.
No judge is appointed to this court unless he has been an actual resident of the District of Columbia for a period of at least five years immediately preceding his appointment and has been in the actual practice of law before the Supreme Court of the District of Court for a period of five years prior to his original appointment.
The term of office of such judges is six years. However, each judge shall be subject to removal by the President for cause. Their salaries are fixed in accordance with the Classification Act of 1923.
This court holds sessions in the Police Court. Building, located at Sixth and D Streets, Northwest, with its terms beginning on the first Monday of each month.
The Municipal Court
The Municipal Court of the District of Columbia consists of five judges, who are also appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate for a term of four years.
No judge is appointed unless he has been a boa fide citizen and resident of the District of Columbia for a continuous period of at least five years immediately preceding his appointment, and shall either have been a judge of said court for at least one year or shall have been engaged in the actual practice of law before the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, for a period of at least five years prior to his appointment.
This court holds its sessions in the Municipal Court Building, located at 420 C Street, Northwest, with its terms beginning on the
first Tuesday in January, April and October, respectively.
The Juvenile Court
The Juvenile Court of the District of Columbia consists of one judge, appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, for a term of six years.
No judge shall be appointed to this court who is not learned in the law and such judge is subject to removal by the President for cause.
This court holds its sessions at 472-478 Louisiana Avenue, Northwest, with its terms beginning on the firt Monday of each month.
The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia
The Supreme Court of the District of Columbia consists of eight associate justices and one chief justice—a total of nine, who are appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and holding their offices during good behavior.
This court holds its sessions in the Supreme Court Building, located in Judiciary Square, Fifth and Louisiana Avenue, Northwest, with its terms beginning on the first Tuesday in January, April, July, and October, respectively.
The Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia consists of four associate justices and one chief justice—a total of five, who are also appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and hold their offices during good behavior.
This court holds its sessions in the Court of Appeals Building, located in Judiciary Square, at Fifth and E Streets, Northwest, with its terms (not less than three terms a year) beginning on the first Monday in October, January and April, respectively.
The Supreme Court of the United States
The Supreme Court of the United States consists of eight associate justices and one chief justice a total of nine, who are also appointed by the President, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, and who also hold their offices during good behavior.
This court holds its sessions in the United States Capitol, located at the intersection of East Capitol and North Capitol Streets, with annual terms beginning the first Monday in October and ending the last part of May.
It is to be noted that appeals from the lower courts go first to the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia and then to the Supreme Court of the United States.
With the accompanying chart and the matters set forth herein, it is hoped that all readers will gain an understanding of the courts of the District of Columbia, as well as a knowledge of the personnel constituting them. It is through these courts and by these judges that justice is administered.

Ku Klux Klan Marchers in Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (By Harry Levette for the A.N.P.)—With all the secret menace of the skulking night riders who infested the dark Southern lanes back in the reconstruction period a feeble but insidious Klan gesture was made by a group of whites who invaded the edge of the Negro district last Monday night.
In the 1100 block of East 58th Place, where about seven Negro families have residences, there suddenly appeared from some unknown meeting place a parade of white men wearing two separate stules of disguises.
One detachment wore yellow coats and masks, but the larger section sported the long infamous "night shirts" and white hoods with only the eyes showing that for years has been the insignia of the despicable law-breaking Ku Klux Klan. Behind them all others carrying a big flaming red light.
Although they did not attempt any violence, they halted in front of each of the colored homes in the block, keeping this up from 10 until 10:30 p.m.
It was pointed out that the parade was very plainly an attempt to frighten the Negro citizens away and discourage others from moving into that district.
AVIATORS END RETURN
FLIGHT FROM LOS ANGELES
ATLANTIC CITY.—A large crowd swarmed over the airport here on Friday of last week to welcome Dr. A. E. Forsythe and C. Alfred Anderson on their return from their round trip transcontinental flight.
Anderson, the only Negro licensed transport pilot in America, was at the controls when the plane left Atlantic City July 17 on a good-will hop to Los Angeles. The flyers took a message from Mayor Harry Bacharach to Mayor Frank Shaw of that city. They reached the Coast in four days, but were considerably delayed on the return trip because of bad weather over Nebraska and Ohio, and fog over the Alleghanies.
Greeting them at the airport, Mayor Bacharach said: "Flying in a small plane with the limited equipment that you men used, called for a high type of courage and skill. The citizens of Atlantic City are indeed very, very proud of you."

TALLAHASSEE. Fla. — Four colored men convicted of murder were saved from the electric chain near the hour set for their execution Monday by a Supreme Court writ which took cognizance of charges that their purported confession was forced by prolonged torture in jail.
The stay of execution was granted on the claim of D. W. Perkins, attorney for the defendants, that they were brutally mistreated by Broward County officers.
"They are each and all innocent of the crime" and were forced to confess by reason of threats against them by the peace officers of Broward County and others not peace officers."
They were convicted of the murder of Robert Dorsey, Pompano fish dealer.

TWELVE
TIGERS AND 'DALES SPLIT TRI-STATE TITULAR BILL
Le Droit Cats Take Nightcap After Losing Opener; Tigers Still Lead
By FLASH ROBESON
The hard-hitting LeDroit Tigers, Tri-State champions, and the fast Hillsdale Collegians divided a twin bill, Sunday, on the former's diamond by the scores, 7-4 and 10-4.
Spike Bland and Emkie Jeffries engaged in an exciting pitchers' duel in the opener, the former having the edge. Hectic fielding by both teams at times marred the game. Burrell Kennel and Runt White led their teams at the bat. Doofy Jones, in center for the 'Dales, made the feature play of the game when he raced far back to grasp Chet Smith's high fly in the ninth inning.
In the night cap Smoke Levi and Jodie Wheeler started on the mound, and each lasted four innings. In the hectic fourth innning, when the Bengals scored five runs on two hit batsmen, a walk, a double, two singles and a cheap home run, the fighting spirit of the 'Dales was aroused.
But the Bengals came to life again in the sixth innning, and from that point the game was only another listless baseball game.
Mace Jefferson and Willie Hope both hit homers, which would have been home runs on anybody's diamond, both were hard hit with Hope's carrying the greater distance.
Reds Powell in relief role was the savior of the Tigers, while Dick Temple and Ernie Johnson shone for the 'Dales afield.
The Rajah-DePriest club defeated the Virginia White Sox in a double bill on the former's field by the scores 6-5 and 5-0. Norman Barnes and Lofty Day, the half-pint twirler of the Virginians, engaged in a mound duel with the Northeast lad having the edge. The former allowed three hits and fanned 14, while the Northeast club garnered 12 hits off the offerings of the southpaw, who, offers hit freely, struck out 12 in Core Addison.
At the night cap Gap Addison held Virginia's titles in seven-inning tilt. He was opposed on the mound by Big Boy Scott, who pitched a creditable game. Gross was the batting star of the game.

TREASURY SCARES COMMERCE NINE
The past week of activity in the Departmental Baseball League was decidedly dull with only one game of any consequence taking place. In that encounter Treasury, first half winners, threw quite a scare into the loop-leading Commerce nine.
Going into the final inning of that contest trailing by three runs, the aspirants to the second half crown and the right to meet Treasury in the play-off, were forced to call on all they had in reserve to push across four runs on the fast-tiring McKinnon, Treasury pitcher, and take the decision, 10-9.

D. C. NETMEN BOW TO BALTIMORE
The Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. tennis team journeyed to Baltimore, where it was defeated six matches to two, last Saturday. The outstanding match of the day was the Babe Jones-Ted Thompson affair. Jones, who holds the Washington as well as the Baltimore city championship, played a marvelous defensive game, causing the well known Ted to drive into the net time and again.
The first set was a thriller with Ted dropping the first two games more or less on his own miscues, but from this point the affair grew into a real battle. Thompson captured the next two games to start a see-saw affair, running into a deuce with Jones playing the more brilliant tennis to take the victory. The second set started with Thompson drawing first blood and leading therefrom until the count stood 5-4. when the Babe suddenly came to life and decided the set.

BLACK YANKEES TO MEET PHILLY STARS HERE
When the New York Black Yankees cross bats with the Ed Solden's Philadelphia Stars, Saturday, August 19, in a twin bill at Griffith Stadium, it will give Washington fans the opportunity to witness one of the best colored diamond attractions of many a day.
The two teams boast of many stars. The Yankees have Fats Jenkins of Renaissance basketball fame, in the outfield, ably assisted by Clint Thomas and Beckwith. Beckwith will be remembered as the player who hit the longest home run ever hit in the local park.
The hurling staff is one of the best, Connie Ringer, Ted Truit, Wild Bill Holland, Luther Farrell and Nick Stanley. Clarke does the receiving.
The stars are not to be overlooked for they boast of a stella performer at each position. Rap Dixon, fleet outfielder, holds several records. He has a monument erected to his memory in Japan for having the longest home run in the Kiolu Stadium. He is also tied for the world's record of 14 consecutive hits, jointly held by himself and Quillick of the International League (white).
Pete Washington and Cheney White round out the outfield.
Many play centers will open their horseshoe competitions this week. Large entry lists have proved that there is some interest in the age-old sport that returns to take the country by storm each year. Prominent among the entries at Walker Stadium is James Marshall, the former, Playground Champ. He hopes to give a good account of himself this year and to increase the ringers he has thrown during the course of many preliminary matches.

ATLANTA, Ga.—Walter H. (Chief) Aiken, former A. U. and Fisk football mentor, commences his twelfth year of grid coaching this fall, when for the fourth time, he takes up the reins at Clark University in South Atlanta. Over an eleven-year period, Aiken-coached teams have won 102, lost 18 and tied 6 for a grand percentage of .852.
Aiken's 1933 eleven will be moulded around two durable sophomore workhorses of phenomenal sprinting ability in Carl Ray of Louisville. Ky., who was an unanimous All-Southern back in 1932. Ray is a triple-threater, being most distinctive for his sensational left-footed kicking and punt returning.
Robert (Rabbit) Miller of Washington, D. C., is the runnings thing the conference has seen since the graduation of Ben Stevenson at Tuskegee and Joe Wiggins at Fisk. Miller had four 65-yard runs and one 71-yard jaunt last fall, his freshman year. Besides, he was a star on the cinder path and hardwood, as was Ray, his classmate.
Sandy Springs Captures 9-5 Verdict from Royals
The Washington Royals went down to a 9-5 defeat at the hands of the hard-hitting Sandy Spring Stars, on the former's grounds, Bailey Park, Colesville, Md., last Sunday afternoon.
Robinson toed the slab for the losers and although hit for a total of 15 hits fanned 11 of the Sandy Spring swatsmiths. His opponent, Awkward, bested him to the extent of whiffing the same number and allowing only 10 hits.

HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Great interest is being shown in the coming National Tennis Tournament to be held at Hampton August 13 to 19. Reservations are being made by persons from over widely distributed areas which shows that the tournament is national in scope. In some sections bus parties are being arranged in the hope of bringing transportation down within the reach of all those who desire to attend. Plans have already been perfected for bringing such parties from New York City.
The interest that is being manifested in the Veterans' Tournament, limited to men over forty-five years of age, shows that the American Tennis Association is trying to disprove the adage "Youth will be served." The new feature of the championship event is bringing to Hampton this year many players of yesterday. All the eligible players have been invited and entries have been received from quite a number at this time. A beautiful stirling silver cup has been donated by Dr. D. Iverson Hoage and becomes the permanent property of the first man to win it three times. In addition, the winner and runner-up will receive beautiful individual trophies.

THE FILM "THE WOODEN WOODEN" BY JOHN WOODEN.
[MARION DAVIES in a scene from:
"DFG O'MY HEART
Theatrically Speaking
With ANDY ANDERSON
"ETHEL WATERS is a music student in grade 10-A, at McDonough 35, in New Orleans, La." (Item taken from the N. O. School annual of last year.) But it's not our Ethel.
EDGAR, HAYES, of the Blue Rhythm band, went to Wilberforce during the days of Wu Fang Ward ... holds a degree in music, and has just finished his latest number "Out of a Dream," which is being featured via NBC on their broadcasts. Joe Garland, his sax player (the light brown tenor sax player) has also done a new hit, a hot tune, "Harlem After Midnight."
Speaking of music and hit tunes such as are heard on the stage often, he advised that HOAGIE CARMICHAEL, who did "Stardust" and "Lady Bones" is no sepian, in spite of the boner pulled by a local radio announced recently. Hoagie is a sax player for the erudite Paul Whiteman.
Local Theatres
The current shows at local theatres boast of 'nothing of any degree of excellence. About the most interesting thing in town this week is the appearance of those flashy three Miller Brothers and their whirlwind dance act at the Howard Theatre. Take away that act, and Brooks and Burns, comics, at the Howard, and you'll have little left, without attempting to be nasty, but calling the cards as I see them.
The stage offering at the Howard this week ("Hollywood on Parade") is punk...and were it not for the Miller boys, and Ashes and Apus Brooks, not forgetting George Whitshire, the show wouldn't be much. For it is these lads who make it a bill.
First of all, there are no girls. No chorus! And what is a stage show without a chorus of dancing girls? And then, recruited from Philly and points East, we have several supposed doubles for film stars, but the hitch comes in when we tell you that we have seen some of those faces here before, in those "Black and White" revues. Laugh that off.
The show was quite disappointing, for only two of the characters could be said to have a reasonable resemblance of their originals. The pseudo Jimmy Durante could get by, as perhaps could the Gavrob, but the others couldn't get to first base, except on a passed ball, if you get what I mean.
The screen feature, "The Big Brain" revealed another of those absolutely "impossible" plots, this built around a runt who made himself a world beater of a smart guy, because they kidded him about his size.
The parallel of the plot, built around the family newspaper dynasty of the Lords of Northcliffe, publishers of the London Daily Mail, for years, in an effort to run Mr. Max Werner (the runt), played by George Stone, out of England as a menace to the nation, could well be imagined, but the balance of the play goes into the discard as "impossible."
Scenario Writers Go Goosey
Movie scenario writers are gradually getting worse and worse, and their attempts to foist anything on a gullible public fills us with disgust. Headline attractions billed as the "sensation of the century" are shown up to be third rate imitations of shows of past and passe glory. Fakes, and humbug.
But the public is waking up to these impossible pictures, and gradually demanding something of more structural, and "true to human life and nature" plots and plays. What friend Barnum said about a "sucker being born every minute" may still be true, but friend Andy adds that they are now being birthed further and further apart.
We certainly failed to pay proper homage to DOROTHY HUTCHINSON and her mother, DYE JONES, the two female wizards of the trumpet. This pair of cornet-blowing ladies most certainly takes the spot as being the crown, princesses of the female element in that
Heroes of the Ambulance

THE MARRIAGE OF THE MEN
Speed and action are in the screen show "Emergency Call," at the Howard Theatre as shown above
HOWARD THEATRE
Another big hit, comes to the Howard beginning Saturday in "Hot Harlem," a musical revue of forty people, including some of New York's most noted and talented stars, with a chorus of ten dancing girls offering the latest in dance routines in their own inimitable fashion.
On screen the feature will be an astounding disclosure of the hospital racket, "Emergency Call," with Bill Boyd, William Gargan and Wynne Gibson.
In this story a web of dirty politics imperils the lives of men who save lives. Graphic scenes show ambulance heroes race with death through political barbed wire. It is a dramatic exposure of political graft in the houses of mercy, "Emergency Call" is one of R.K.O.'s latest releases.
Amateur nights, Wednesday and Friday. Midnight show Friday.
field, and our hat's off to them. Personal
And now to the Lightman interests, we wish to tell you that the town is eagerly, awaiting the reopening of your Lincoln Theatre. Let it come, A.E.
And to the Howard management: what difference does it make if your show this week is "off"? You've been giving us some first-class work all summer, and we can easily forgive you, for you meant well in your efforts to bring us a variety this week, to ease our perhaps jaded nerves, but it wasn't YOUR fault if the quality wasn't there, and we aren't sore with you.

REPUBLIC THEATRE
The story of "Storm at Daybreak" which will be shown for five days, Friday, August 11, to Tuesday, August 15, at the Republic Theatre, is laid in Hungary. Kay Francis is cast as the chate laine of a fine estate. Nils Asther has the role of cavalry officer, and Walter Huston is cast as Miss Francis's elder husband. This tale of the age-old attraction of youth for youth, is far different from the usual triangle drama. It centers on the conflict of a woman who loves a young officer but refuses to be disloyal to her husband. In a love story such as this, it was inevitable that there should be music. The charming love song, "Black Stemmed Cherries," is sung by Miss Francis to Asther and is heard throughout the picture.
Fredric March and Cary Grant play the two leading roles in "The Eagle and the Hawk," the story of two men whose hatred for each other made them both heroes, comes to the Republic Theatre, Wednesday and Thursday, August 15-16.
In this picture, they've taken a story by the author of "Wings," injected the most thrilling episodes that invertebrate picture goers have witnessed, spiced it with crisp and effective dialogue, provided it with a windfall of mirth, added a tender and genuinely touching romance, and given a complete and authentic background.
In addition to Cary Grant, March is supported by Carol Lombard and Jack Oakie.
RAPHAEL THEATRE
---
"Trick for Trick," the new Fox mystery melodrama in which secrets of magic are revealed as two magicians vie with each other for superiority, comes to the Raphael Theatre on Sunday, August 13 to remain for an engagement of four days.
The film, directed by Hamilton MacFadden is said to show in a simple manner just how two adepts practice the black art. One of them suspects the other of a murder.
The other, guilty or not guilty, wants at least to throw the first one off the track. In this parry of wits and magic, they reveal to each other the utmost in their art.
It is reported as being entirely different from the type of mystery thriller often seen.
The supporting cast includes Tom Dugan, Luis Alberni, Ed Van Sloan, James Burtis, Aldian Morris, John George, Willard Robertson, Herbert Buston, Dorothy Appleby Boothe Howard and Jimmy Leong.
In "Sailor's Luck," the new Fox film that opens at the Raphael Theatre Thursday, August 17,

THE FILM "THE LOVE OF THE WEEK" BY JOHN HARRISON.
James Dunn and Sally Eilers prove that they are the most vivid romantic team on the screen.
Dunn plays the role of a happy-go-lucky gob, always ready to fight but always naive in the ways of the world.
Sally Eilers, as the girl who is responsible for it all, is the perfect foil. They meet quite accidentally, as is usually the case with a gob and a girl, and from then on

BROADWAY THEATRE
Jean Harlow and Clark Gable are teamed again in "Hold Your Man," which will open a two-days' engagement Sunday and Monday, August 13-14, at the Broadway Theatre, following in the wake of their smashing success in "Red Dust," which brought a popular demand for the present reunion.
Particular attention was paid in the grim prison walls are said the reform school details in the picture and the scenes placed with-
to be highly informative as well as pictorially impressive. There is also a song hit, "Hold Your Man," sung by Jean Harlo.
BOOKER-T THEATRE
One of the outstanding productions of the American stage has been transformed into what picture previewers declare to be Marion Davies's finest recent vehicle. This film "Peg O' My Heart," will begin a one week's engagement at the Booker T Theatre, Friday, August 11.
As a play, "Peg O' My Heart" is some twenty years old and yet on the talking screen it is brand new. The reason for this is in the apparent agelessness of the charming story, for in her deft hands, Peg seems to hold a new personality, and yet looses none of the crystal romance of the Irish gamin we knew so well on the stage.
Included in the cast are J. Farrell MacDonald, Juliette Compton, Alan Mowbray, Doris Lloyd and others. Michael, the dog in the film, captures honors all his own.

WOMAN,PUT OFF GREYHOUND BUS SUES FOR $25,000
Missed Mother's Funeral by Improper Arrest, New Yorker Says
Complaining that she had been ejected from a motor bus without cause and forced to pay a $28 fine in the Alexandria police court, Mrs. Mamie Kinchlow, of 200 West 155th Street, New York City, entered suit in the District Supreme Court against the People's Rapid Transit Company, 1336 New York Ave. Greyhound Bus Lines, last week. The petition, which asks $25,000 on each of three counts, was filed in Mrs. Kinchlow's behalf by Attorneys William T. Andrews, Jr., of New York, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., of this city.
Couldn't Attend Funeral
After enumerating details of the basis of the suit, Mrs. Kinchlow averred that her arrest and detention in Alexandria prevented her attending the funeral and interment of her mother in Norfolk, to which place she was en route. According to the petition, Mrs. Kinchlow bought a $12 sixty-day limit round trip ticket to Norfolk from an office of the People's Rapid Transit Company, located at 242 West 34th Street, New York, on August 1, 1932.
Ordered to Give Up Seat
As provided by the ticket, she left New York on August 2, occupying Seat No. 29, as stipulated on the ticket, in one of the company's buses. Upon reaching Washington, the passengers were transferred to another bus, presumably belonging to the same company, which had un-numbered seats. Mrs. Kinchlow states that she occupie the second seat from the rear. Although all the seats in the bus were taken, the traveler contends that the bus driver demanded that she give up her seat, but did not offer to provide another.
On reaching Alexandria, the petition sets out that Mrs. Kinchlow was "violently, forcibly, rudely, and wrongfully ejected" from the bus by the driver. Further, it states that on the instigation of the driver, she was arrested and compelled to stay in the Alexandria jail or police station from 11 a.m. August 2, until about 8:30 a.m. August 3.
Pays Under Protest
Mrs. Kinchlow sets out that as a result of her arrest without reasonable or proper cause, she was fined $25 and $3 costs, which she paid under protest. She averts, among other things, that she has suffered indignity, humiliation, insult, and injuries to her nervous system as a result of her experience. These are enumerated in the three counts, upon which Mrs. Winchlow bases her requests for $25,000.

In 1492 when Christopher Columbus landed in the Bahama Islands he had journeyed in a sailing vessel for 35 days. These isles may be reached in a few days by steamers from many ports or by air from Canada or the United States.

Chicago, August : Many mech and what not contribute the m Century of Progress Exposition, ite with sightseers is the fascinating cigar-making unit at the exhibition of the General Cigar Co., inc.
But honors do not, go entirely, to the wheels, cogs, and gadgets of the machines, but are shared by the 31 pretty girls who hold away over them. There are always crowds in front of this amazing exhibit, and to a danny age which sees things as they are, the bright faces and shining uniforms of the girls draw the magnet.
When the exhibit was dedicated with a fanfare of Guy Lombardo's music and a spiking of the salt of Burns and Allen comedy, a girl many of the through thought the dedication brought thought the selection selected and presented for the particular occasion.
As a matter of fact, the 21 girls are all actual employees of the General Cigar Co. Inc., factories who work directly in the making of White Owl cigars. They were chosen for

Chandler Owens, who is to Chicago as Tally Holmes is to Washington, is the only name of any degree of national note which the Newshawk recognized in looking through the advertising literature.
Jimmie (Navy Department) Lee who referees a mean game of basketball, found the writer a messenger's vacancy and had the Chief Clerk of the bureau send for me. The interview was satisfactory and all that was necessary was that the State Department's Chief Clerk certify me to the Civil Service Commission as eligible for placement on the reemployment register.
Although the Navy Department official held open the position three days and asked the State Department to co-operate with him, the latter refused to do so, holding that "such an action would constitute an official repudiatio of previous official action."
Although the writer was transferred there without prejudice from an elevator conductor position with the Bureau of Public Buildings and Public Parks after two years of satisfactory service. I find it impossible to be placed back upon the elevator conductor register. There is something funny somewhere. I am going to find what it is and inform the public next week. So much for that.
Sam (Post Office) Leary, who is one of the town's better sport writers, missed the excitement last Tuesday, when Second Prescinct police were practically murdering some poor member of our group who was yelling and screaming like nobody's business. He had probably parked double opposite some policeman's girl friend's car.
O. A. Bartholomew one of the few $2,800 gaugers of color in the Bureau of Industrial Alcohol, departed for Cincinnati Tuesday. He has been framed up and was slated for dismissal but was retained on a $1,440 job until further notice. Bartholomew is not only a FRBC Democrat but was a DETT (A Democrat Before Teddy's Time) and can prove it. It looks much like the new deal means Negroes little good, Democrats or otherwise.

It is intriguing to see the August Chamber of Commerce of the United States as it comes upon this discovery and proceeds to decry the existing condition. It is amazing to see that agency, which only a short time space of time ago was calling for extreme reductions of governmental forces, in the position of calling critical attention to the actions that have been taken "in the name of economy."
Even as the Chamber of Commerce of the United States apparently has come to see the real fruits of false economy, so will the cost of "saving money at any cost" become broadly visible to "slash" advocates generally as the days go by and true conditions reveal themselves.
Robert (Conservators) Smith, who is one of the Newshawk's best pals, located a vacancy for him in Major (Treasury Department) Queen's office but Reed who was recently dropped from Agriculture, I believe, beat him to it. I hope that the Major soon needs another man as I am particularly anxious to work with him, Charlie Hall, Joe Bryant Morris Ferguson, J. W. Charleston, Karl Phillips, or Sylvester Epps.
Joseph (Treasury Department) Munnerlyn, who is one of the old line clerks in the Treasury, lost a good friend when Captain Walter (Navy Department) Mazyck, who wrote "George Washington and the Negro." died Monday as a result of a general breakdown.

If it is an "insidious influence" that changed John Savage completely and hundreds of others that prepares homes for evicted families, that makes Michaux permit his members to give vent to their natural feelings, that brings about a more amicable understanding with our white friends, and makes Michaux unafraid to ask officials for what he thinks his group should have, more ministers, Baptist and all others should be inculcated with it. I hold no brief for Mr. Michaux. I don't like his methods. His services seem more like a show than a Christian con-

Armond W. Scott, who has been yelling, that the Democrats would do more for the Negroes than the Republicans, from the housetops even before President Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary of the Navy, is really deservant of something and will probably get it. Although he may have received vague promises, the Newshawk believes that he can state without fear of successful contradiction that Mr. Scott will not succeed James A. Cobb as Judge of the Municipal Court when the Judge's term expires next July. Mr. Scott has been offered something, the Newshawk begs to be permitted to remind him that "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."
Dr. D. A. Williston, one of the Democratic leaders, was observed in close conversation with the President of the N.P.I. last week in the Commerce Department. The Dr. dislikes publicity, so in deference to his wishes I shall not report the conversation and the situation. It was, however, amusing.
Hand holders in the new deal, who have been following my case through this column, will be surprised to learn that the only appreciable assistance given to me so far have come from Republicans of color. Prior to my dismissal, the only material aid given to me in my attempt to gain a clerkship was given by a white Republican. I wonder.
Alvin (Coast Guard) Webb, who replaced the writer as special sports commentator on the staff of the Federal News, may be seen evenings, at Francis playground, running around in his shorts, practicing to establish a new 70-yard dash record.
Dr. Ambrose (Interior Department) Caliver, whose wife once refused to give Newshawk his name over the telephone broke into print with a rather interesting article replete with significant statistics. Among other things he wrote: "Already the average terms in schools for Negroes is only four-fifths as long as that for whites. Negro children, with all their social and economic handicaps, are expected to accomplish the same tasks in 80 per cent of the time required for white children. This is saying a high compliment to the native intelligence of the Negro."
Trezzvant (P.O.) Anderson, who is the writer's tennis partner, is a candidate for the editorship of the "Postal Alliance" which is the official organ of the National Alliance of Postal Employees. Trezz has been working on this for two years and I think that he is "in." He is a railway Mail Clerk and is on leave until August 29.
James (Internal Revenue) Dodson, who claims that it is so cold in Greenland that one must make fires under cows to prevent them from giving ice cream, writes in to inquire if I knew that: "The Civil Service System which was born in 1883 reached the half century mark this year." I did. I also know that it is well, indeed, that the Civil Service System had the opportunity to grow and get strong during more than four years before slashes, furloughs, and all these other strange accessories of "economy" came to pass. I know further that the Negro is being "freezed" out day by day and unless some of our leaders wake up to that fact, and have that photograph eliminated, fifty years hence there will be hardly one thousand Negroes in the Classified Service above the grade of CU-3 (messenger).
David (State Department) is seriously considering having himself registered as a new Community Chest agency.

MacBeth who is either a hypocritical back-slapper or an excellent diplomat - I don't know which - thinks that John M. Baer's cartoon in last week's Federal News was excellent. The cartoon depicts John Q. Public studying two sheets. On one sheet Federal "Economy" Act - wage cuts - dismissals - furloughs, cuts and on the other National Recovery Program higher wages - shorter hours - and empl yment, appears. The title is "Inconsistent!" I'll say it is.

When Duke Ellington, his manager, and his thirteen instrumentalists, stepped off of the Majestic in New York on August 8, his No. 1 European souvenir was a letter from George Black, director of General Theatres Corp., Ltd., which controls nearly all of the major theatres of Great Britain.
According to Black, although Ellington's salary abroad was the biggest ever paid to an American attraction, he justified it by running up the biggest grosses and scoring the biggest personal and professional success ever achieved by a. American attraction in Great Britain.
The Prince of Wales liked Dike Ellington's "Saphisticated Lady" best, Prince George went for his "Swamp River," and the rest of Great Britain was evenly divided between "Mood Indigo" and "Black and Tan Fantasy."
All of these favorites will be on the air at an early date by the Duke himself.

After a welcome-back broadcast last Thursday night, over WABC-CBS, the Mills Brothers begin a twice-weekly Columbia sustaining series on August 21. An attack of double pneumonia which almost cost John Mills his life, but from which he has now completely recovered, kept them off the airwaves and forced them to cancel all theatre, phonograph recording and movie short engagements for four months.
As a result of John's illness the four boys are closer to each other now than ever before. John had hardly been taken to the hospital when the other three boys were besieged with offers from hundreds of ambitious basses anxious to take his place in the quartet, but although they sacrificed nearly one hundred thousand dollars in bookings for the four months, so great was their loyalty to their brother that they refused to consider a substitute. (So say their press agent.) The brothers are at a local down town theatre this week.
If shoemakers should stick to their lasts, Mili's Blue Ribbon Band at the Cotton Club would be minus its first trumpet, who was a shoe-maker before he switched to manipulating a derby. Hayes Alvis, the band's string bass, was a cab-
injet maker; one saxophonist was a mechanic and another an electrician.
One trombone player was also an electrician, and another a chauffeur. Another trumpet player w s a house-painter, and—you should have known this was coming—the drummer was a boiler-maker.
* * * *
"Dixie Reveries" is the title of the program heard over WOL each Saturday from 6:45 to 7:00 p.m. Time in on these boys and see how you like them—then tell them about it—that is, let the station know how you like them.
* * * *
Molasses 'n' January who appear in the Show Boat program (WRC) get scores of letters from people who want to know whether they are colored. They are white.
Ethel Waters and George Dewey Washington are to be guest vocalists on Mills's Blue Rythm program Monday night over WJZ.
****
Thomas Anderson Bard of Harlem, is heard Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings at 8:45 over WMCA. The boy has a future, give him your dial support, then remember that a line into his radio station will be a help to him.
****
Ethel Waters, who made "Stormy Weather" one of the most-sung popular songs, and the only colored woman on the networks, will be heard in a new program over the WJZ chain, but not over WRC, starting at 10:15 p.m.
This schedule began last Friday night and is in addition to her Monday night broadcast at the same hour over the WJZ net.
Although press reports have it that Miss Waters will be off the air, that Miss Waters is off the air, that illness, she is scheduled to appear on two-a-week programs. Tune in anyway. See program at head of column.

Rudy Vallee's guests artists are paid by the Fleishman Yeast Co. T. date I have heard two of our singers on his programs—Ethel Waters and Paul Robeson. I've heard that, one other Negro appeared as his guest. This is the best spot that Negroes can get. It has commercial value to the artist, since the big advertisers watch Vallee's system of presentation. He is certain to be imitated thus opening the doors to other high class colored artists.

We would like to hear Harry Burleigh sing his "Deep River," W. C. Handy play his "St. Louis Blues" and Matt Henson tell of his trip to the South Pole with Peary. We have heard Rudy pay high tribute to Duke Ellington. Here's to the master crooner for his recognition of talent. His programs are over WRC Thursdays at 7 p.m.
Gossip of the Movie Lots
By HARRY LEVETTE
For the Associated Negro Press
LOS ANGELES, Cal.-RUBY BARBER, sweet voiced oriole has not been heard of much lately, but not because she has not been busy. For some time she has has been with Baby Mack and Leon Harriford's band at the "Back Stage Club" in Hollywood.
BABY MACK, "The Coast's Sweetheart," headliner for so long at Sebastian's Cotton Club is greatly missed there and by her many radio fans who used to sit up nights to hear her on the Cotton club programs. Yep, still married to Les Hite, noted orchestra leader, TEDDY HARRIS, smiling sensational young tap drummer now at the firestone Gardens leaves for a trip to the World's Fair as soon as he finishes as a tom-tom beater in "Tarzan" at M.G.M. studio.
IDA BROWN, who many admirers thought had left town has been convalescing from a month's illness, and returned from the hospital to start entertaining at the Alabama Deer Gardens. She is considerably thinner but singing and selling it as well as before. PETER JACKSON, Coast lightweight champion made such a hit in a personal appearance and introduction by City Attorney Warner at the Tivoli Theatre prior to the Fields battle, that his manager is planning a series of appearances in training stunts, rope-skipping and boxing, etc. MADAM LUX, (Louise Anderson) who is to kneel at the "I do" altar with Earl (Lucky Day, Lucky Boy) Dancer is recovering from an attack of heart trouble. "THE FOUR TRUMPETS" is one of the youngest as well as one of the most popular California radio acts.
BUD HARRIS and company consisting of Paul Harris and Bert Powell demon uke twanger just finished a big week at Paramount Theatre with unlimited encores nightly.
PAULINE PARMENTEER, pretty little creole dancer has just returned from a long engagement at the Midnite Follies, at Tia Juana Mexico. She reports that the beer flood on this side of the border has not swamped the business on the other side. They still cross to drink hard "likker" over the bar, play roulette and chase the senoritas.
RCAMYNE JACKSON, pleasingly plump, pretty and popular Philadelphia entertainer who came west with Bilo and Ashes two years ago and proceeded to confiscate the keys to the city, is at the threshold of her big moment. A well-known white composer has written a KJJ radio continuity for her and it has passed all tests as the "Brown Kate Smith." Tommy (Bottoms) Smith is the other half of the team.
