Elks of the World got underway here Monday at the "Crossroads of the Nation" with a triumphingly large attendance of delegates and visitors. The report of the credentials committee showed $63 delegates present from 641 lodges. With all the colored Elkdom's notables on hand, the convention proper swung into action on Monday morning, with Judge William C. Hueston of Washington, head of the educational department, holding his annual scholarship alumni meeting at the Bethel A.M.E. Church, where the Rev. M. Dean, of Baltimore, delivered the annual baccalaureate sermon, and Daughter T. Wendell, of Louisville, Ky., gave the educational address. Memorial Services Held Sunday The usual memorial services were held on Sunday afternoon, with the Rev. Geo. E. Avant, grand chaplain, of Durham, N.C., in charge of the services. This year special rites were held in memory of the late Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, of Norfolk, Va., former grand secretary and founder of the Grand Temple. Her daughter, Mrs. Beuna Kelly Gibbs, of Norfolk, Va., acting grand secretary, was present at this service. She is a candidate for election to fill the office.

The theatre supervisor resented the term and on approaching the group of youngsters demanded to know which one made the remark. (Continued on page 2) Daughter Elks Waging Hot Fight Over Main Offices By Trezzvant W. Anderson INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Special) —The hottest battle of the past eight years is being waged here for the office of grand daughter ruler of the grand temple, Daughters of Bless, now held by Mrs. Abbie M. Johnston, of Philadelphia, Pa. Mrs. Johnston is a candidate for re-election, with three other opponents offering her the stiffest opposition since she has been in office. Last year a terrific battle was fought at Atlantic City, with Mrs. Hattie I. Williams, of Jacksonville, Fla., holding a block of 60 votes, which tied up the election for hours, and the office was filled only after Mrs. Johnston had obtained the block of Williams votes on condition that she would not run next (this) year, but would support Mrs. Williams, who is now a candidate again. However, on December 14, last, Mrs. Emma V. Kelley, grand secretary, of Norfolk, Va., died, and due to the fact that the grand temple funds had been placed in the banks in Mrs. Kelley's name, it was necessary for Mrs. Johnston to take decisive steps to secure and save these funds, which was done after court action, in which Judge W. C. Hueston, of Washington, aided the female order. Mrs. Kelley's daughter, Mrs. Beuna Kelly Gibbs, succeeded her mother as acting, grand secretary. Meanwhile, from all parts of the country, requests began pouring in, asking that Mrs. Johnston become a candidate to succeed herself, and after receiving them she accepted the proposals of her supporters, and announced her candidacy. But at the same time she wrote to Mrs. Williams to the effect that she was running again and consequently could not give her the support she had promised her. This then threw the election into another struggle. Opposing Mrs. Johnston are Mrs. Williams. Mrs. Elizabeth Kimbrough, Brooklyn, N.Y.; and Mrs. Ella G. Berry, of Chicago. This election will hardly be settled before Thursday or Friday, and although Mrs. Johnston seems favored, no prediction can be made for this office. The vice-grand daughter rulership is uncontested, but there are contestants for the other offices. Mrs. Beauna Kelly Gibbs, of Norfolk, candidate for grand secretary, is being opposed by Mrs. Wallace, of New York City, who has strength. Mrs. Frances Young, present grand treasurer, has as her opponent Mrs. Bessie Martin, of Chicago, Ill. Mrs. Ada Abrams, widely known local woman, is a candidate for the three-year term of grand trustee, and Mrs. Ida L. Cummings, of Baltimore, Md., is running for the position of grand chaplain. Mrs. Lethia B. Fleming, of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. Minnie V. Wright, of Massachusetts, both grand officers of the educational department, will retain their positions. Mrs. Catherine Steadman, 26, of 600 Marion Court, Northwest, received bruises of the left thigh when she was struck by an auto near her home. Sunday. The machine is said to have been driven by Sidney Johnson, of 1330 U Street, Northwest. WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1933 Minister to Wed on 82nd Birthday M. B. S. THE REV. WALTER H.

POLICE BEAT HER, WOMAN CHARGES Another White Officer to Face Trial Board for Slapping Woman Following closely upon the exoneration of four stalwart policemen upon charges of inhuman and brutal treatment to colored prisoners, three other officers stand accused, this week, of enraged attacks upon two women and a man. Claiming that she was brutally beaten by two Eleventh Precinct white policemen in her own house, Mrs. Alberta Young, 1382 Morris Road, Southeast, appeared in the police court Tuesday with a bloody bandage around her head and a wound which required seven stitches to close. 10 Prosecute Cops The white officers charged Mrs. Young with disorderly conduct and assault despite the fact that she appeared to be the one assaulted. The charge against Mrs. Young was postponed until Friday when the prosecuting attorney asked a continuance to summon government witnesses. William Young, husband of the woman and a janitor at Peabody School, was also charged with disorderly conduct by the policemen. John H. Wilson, attorney for Mr. and Mrs. Young told a reporter for The Tribune that both officers will be charged with assaulting Mrs. Young and damage sought for entering her home and attacking her. The two policemen went to the Young home when a white welfare worker was asked out of the house. This white woman is alleged to have told the officers she was insulted by Mrs. Young. Seven Stitches in Wound Mrs. Young told reporters she had been trying to get relief for a brother, Roy Henderson, who has been out of work for some time. Through a mistake the welfare worker took her for her brother's wife and came to the house to investigate. Mrs. Young asked the white woman to leave. On leaving the worker reported the incident to police. Officers A. Moore and R. I. Rison went to the house where they are alleged to have beaten Mrs. Young and her husband, then placed the (Continued on page 2) Miss Lucy Moten Dies in New York Miss Lucy Moten Dies in New York As a result of automobile injuries received when run down by a car in New York City, Miss Lucy Moten, former principal of Miner Normal School, died in a New York City Hospital about 1:15 this morning (Thursday).

GUN BUTT ENDS DICE GAME What is said by police to have been an argument over a dice game in Cullinane Court, Southwest, ended suddenly, Sunday night, when George Ranson, 58, of 328 F.

Elks' Ruler Submits a Plan to Mutualize National Benefit Life Asks the Court to Force Receivers to File a Full Financial Report NEW COMPANY TO TAKE OVER OLD Would Also Provide for Settlement of Claims Against Business By E. W. BAKER Plans by which he hopes to wrest control of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company from its two white receivers and reorganize it into a mutual life insurance company, owned, operated and managed by its policyholders, were submitted by J. Finley Wilson, intervener, through his attorneys, to the District Supreme Court, Tuesday. Accompanying the plans, was a petition requesting the court to order the receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank Bryan, Jr., to show cause why they should not immediately file a full report of the financial condition of the company, up to and including August 15, 1933. In addition, the petition specifies that the receivers should also show cause why they should not "cooperate to the fullest degree" with Mr. Wilson to sequestre necessary authorization from all policyholders to carry out the plan of mutualization; also why they should not utilize to the fullest extent the present field agents and employees in furtherance of the plan The petition is supplemental to one filed in July by Mr. Wilson. Based on 1932 Report The basis of Mr. Wilson's plan is the report filed by the receivers, December 15, 1932. This report set forth that the total value of the assets distributable as equities to policyholders amounted to $1,060,763.06 as of September 9, 1931. Mr. Wilson's plan is also based upon the theory that the assets in the hands of the receivers, remaining after the cost of the receivership is deducted, and all claims are settled, are the property of the policyholders. It is upon the value of these distributable equities that Mr. Wilson expects to secure the basis for the working capital in the organization of a mutual life in- Blames "Devil" Meeting for A Floyd Herndon Tells Court Ball Park which Put Meeting Payme Blames "Devil" at Michaux's Meeting for Alimony Failure Floyd Herndon Tells Court His Pocket was Picked at Ball Park which Put Him in Arrears in Meeting Payments to His Wife Attending a meeting of Elder Lightfoot Michaux at the American League baseball park brought about complications for Floyd Herndon, an employee at the Government Printing Office, which finally will end before Justice Joseph W.

Price 7 cents Copy TWO CHARGES RACIAL PREJUDICE AT VIRGINIA CAMP Discharged Youth Claims Officers Discriminate Against Negroes Charges of mistreatment, unfair distribution of jobs, and the application of racial prejudice were hurled at officers of the Civilian Conservation Corps, Company 376, at Waverly, Virginia, early this week, by Floyd Smith, 1309 Wallach Place, Northwest, who was recently discharged from the camp. Smith, attached to Camp S-55, under command of Captain M. L. Elliott, white, was given a dishonorable discharge from the camp last Tuesday, after officers had pronounced him guilty of refusal to work, misconduct, and being sullen and insubordinate. The camp, one of President Roosevelt's reforestation sites, is located 22 miles from Petersburg, Va. Regular army officers, all white, are in charge of the camp, while special government workers supervise the reforestation work. In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Tuesday, Smith related the incidents leading up to his discharge. He said: "On July 26, I was injured while working at heavy duty in the forest. For five days I went without proper medical attention, and then was sent to the hospital at Fort Monroe. While in the hospital my clothes were either stolen or misplaced. When I returned to camp, I reported the loss of my clothes to Sergt, Michael Hardin, who cursed me out. "When I continued to ask about my clothes, I was charged with misconduct and a fine of $3 was imposed on me with a suspension of all camp privileges and a restoration to heavy duty in the forest. I refused to do the heavy work in the forest because I had not fully recovered from my illness and had been ordered by the doctor not to overwork. "This refusal brought on the other charges, and I was tried, and found guilty by Captain Elliott, who gave me a dishonorable discharge, Captain Elliott also recommended that I forfeit all cash allowances and allotments due." Pay Was Not Received When Smith reached his home in Washington, last week, he found that his pay for July, which he signed for before going to the hospital, had not been received. He immediately communicated with C. H. Taylor, assistant director of the C.C.C. at the Interior Department, who investigated and promised that the money would be sent within a few days. However, no money had been received up to Wednesday evening Smith, who was detailed as truck driver at the camp before he was involved in any trouble, declared that the living conditions at the camp were poor, and often improperly cooked food is given the men. He charged that the officers show racial prejudice in providing seats for the white patrons and forcing the colored patrons to stand at the weekly boxing matches, held every Friday night. Camp Workers Strike Smith also declared that although the office force at the camp is supposed to be taken from the camp personnel, the officers in charge have replaced the two colored clerks with two hired white clerks. When the men were suspended several weeks ago, he said, the civilians went on a strike, but went back to work the next day after the officers compromised. According to Smith, the camp opened June 21, with an enrollment of over 200 men. Now, only about 160 are there. He claims that the others left because of mistreatment and the unfair manner of conducting the jobs. Of the men enrolled, 26 were Washingtonians. Now only 13 local boys are there, he said. Smith is a former Armstrong High School student and a graduate of the former Aviation School of America. He has taken his story to the local officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Points in Wilson's Plan (Continued from page 1) powers of attorney and authorizations from all policyholders in furtherance of the plan of mutualization, and why they should not utilize to the fullest extent the existing field agents and employees in furtherance of this plan. 6. That upon securing powers of attorney or other authorization from such percentage of policyholders of both modified and unmodified business as the court may deem necessary, the National Benefit in its entirety be reorganized upon the plan suggested and mutualized, and the reenorship terminated. 7. That the receivers be precluded from presenting to the court for signature, without notice to other counsel of record in this proceeding, orders in the proceeding itself. B. And for such other and further relief as to the court may seem just and proper, and the exigencies of the case may require. Four Meet Death (Continued from page 1) Beek, of the homicide squad, and Officer Rice related the details of Williams's reputed statement, which was substantiated by witnesses. According to testimony, Williams relayed a request of Miss Bessie Vaughn, landlady at 2408 Virginia Avenue, for Miller to find other quarters. Miller went away. Returning sometime later, he accused Williams of trying to have him put out. The latter's denial only served to incense Williams, who, it was said, had been drinking. Shirt is Nicked Williams is then said to have raised his hand in a threatening manner. The two men grappled. After a short struggle, they arose. Miller staggered across the street. A shirt worn by Williams at the time of the struggle, bearing a cut place, was shown the jury. The razor which the dead man is said to have weiled was picked up by Williams as Miller staggered off. He turned it over to officers, along with his own penknife, when he surrendered. School Girl Testifies Among those who gave favorable testimony for the defendant were: Miss Helen Carter, a lodger at the Virginia Avenue address; William Page, 2410 Virginia Avenue; Misa Ida Mahoney, 15-year-old school girl, who, with her mother, Mrs Blanche Mahoney, viewed the altercation from their porch, at 2422 Virginia Avenue. Miss Mahoney, a domestic, who sometimes sleeps where she works, told the jury about wanting Miller to give up his room. Although she declined to give any reason why she wished Miller to move, Williams, was said to have averred, in his alleged statement, that Miller was addicted to drink and quarrelsomeness. Thanks Jury At the suggestion of his attorney, Alfred Goldstein, white, Miller thanked the jury for its verdict. Dr. A. M. McDonald, acting coroner, and Dr. C. J. Murphy, assistant, instantly hushed the demonstration which followed the announcement of the verdict. Death Car Driver Freed Hugh C. Palmer, white, was exonerated by the coroner's jury in a second case, in connection with the death of Charles H. Clements, 57, of 214 Massachusetts Avenue, Northwest, who died of injuries received when struck by an automobile. Clements died at Emergency Hospital, Thursday. He was crossing from the north to the south cubn near Second and Massachusetts Avenue, when struck by an automobile driven by Palmer. Two witnesses testified that he was hurled about 15 feet through the gir. Mrs. Helen Bayard, a daughter, was not far from the scene at the time of the accident and heard the impact of the car striking her father. Describing the "terrible crash," Mrs. Bayard said she rushed over to the form sprawled in the street and learned that it was her father. Besides Mrs. Bayard, he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Pauline Clements, and granddaughter, Elenora Bayard. Train Victim's Kin Sought Burial in the Potters Field awaits the body of Mose Bass, whose home is supposed to be either in Durham, N.C., or New York, unless relatives can be found.

The case has been set for August 23. Elks' Ruler Submits (Continued from page 1) surance company. Provides for Adjustments The commendable principle of the Wilson plan is that it affords a method for the utilization of approximately 75 per cent of the company's assets, listed as real estate, through co-operation of the policyholders, to prevent a total loss, which would likely result from a liquidation of the company. It also provides for the adjustment of all claims on an equitable basis. Changes Expected While the Wilson plan is based on the report of September 9, 1931, it is realized that some alterations may be necessary, due to changes in assets and liabilities incident to the receivership. This can only be ascertained upon the filing of a statement by the receivers, listing their transactions down to date. It is not thought, however, that such changes will affect the fundamental principle of the Wilson plan. Capital Based on Assets The proposed mutual company, for which a charter has already been worked out, would be organized under the legal reserve plan. Equities distributable to the policyholders would be the basis for the working capital. The new company would take over the assets and insurance business of the National Benefit and provide for the settlement of all claims against it. As a medium for transferring the assets, business, and claims of the National Benefit to the new company, a contract of reinsurance would be entered into between the receivers and the new company. This contract, among other things, would provide assumption of outstanding policies and re-instatement of lapsed policies. Re-instatement Provided The new company will re-instate and continue in force, without medical examination, all policies which were in force on September 9, 1931, but which have lapsed since that date by non-payment of premiums. Where the lapse resulted from the failure to pay the first premium due after September 9, re-instatement would be under either of the following options: (a) The policyholder may be permitted to apply his equity as a single premium on a paid-up policy in the new company. (b) The policyholder may be permitted to take out a new policy with the new company, based upon his attained age and have his equity applied towards the premium payments. The new company would assume the responsibility for the adjustment of all claims with the creditors of the National Benefit upon the following plans: (a) Creditors constituting the class of claims arising out of unpaid death benefits would be given the right to elect between either accepting settlement on the basis of liquidation value of the assets and in the ratio that the total liabilities of the National Benefit bears to the liquidating value of the assets. In such cases the new company would settle with the creditors in cash. (b) They would be given the right to accept settlement on the non-liquidating value of the assets and in the ratio that the total liabilities of the National Benefit bears to the non-liquidating value of the assets. In such cases, the new company would issue certificates of indebtedness, payable in five annual installments, the first installment being payable one year from the effective date of the contract for re-insurance.

AUGUST 24. 1933 Colored Voters in Ohio Defeat Jim Crow Pool Advocate MASSILLON, O.—City Solicitor Graybill was defeated here at the recent election because of his connection with a group of white officials, including Mayor Coxey, who advocated a separate swimming pool for Negroes. The solicitor was leading his opponent when he arrived at the fourth ward where most of the colored voters live. There his lead was wiped out and he was defeated as nearly a 100 per cent vote went against him. class arising out of demands for policy loans and cash surrender values would be permitted to settle under the optional terms as set out in paragraphs (a) and (b), or settlement may be had under the optional terms covering lapses, stated above. (d) Preferred claims will be determined by the court and settled, as and when determined by the court. Company's Status Unknown Due to the unknown condition of the National Benefit, because of the failure of the receivers to file a statement detailing their transactions for any period covering their receivership, and to ignorance of the character and value of assets available to meet present obligations of the company, the Wilson plan provides that claims take the following order of precedence: Cost of receivership, premiums collected by receiver from policyholders who refused to accept terms of modification, legal reserve on outstanding policies, preferred claims as determined by the court, death benefits, cost of re-organization, and policyholders' equities. In the event that the assets turned over to the new company are inadequate to meet the obligations, the plan is to compose the differences with the policyholders by either of the following methods: (a) By reducing the amount of insurance and the premiums proportionately. (b) By reducing the amount of insurance, the premiums remaining the same. (c) By increasing premiums, the insurance remaining the same. (d) By the imposition of a lien. Moratorium Arranged Mr. Wilson's plan provides that no cash surrender or loan values on any of the business re-insured, based upon the present reserve, would be paid by the new company prior to the expiration of five years from the effective date of the contract of re-insurance. The said moratorium would not apply to any values created by premiums paid subsequent to the effective date of the contract of re-insurance. Mr. Wilson's plan also provides for instruction to the receivers. They would be directed by the court to extend to him the full and unlimited facilities of the receivership, and to make available to him the entire agency and other employees for the purpose of presenting the re-organization plan to the policyholders and creditors of the company. The employees would also be used in securing from them whatever authorization might be found necessary. A period of 90 days would be provided to enable Mr. Wilson to perfect the plan of re-organization. Hut-Dweller Found Suffering for Food Suffering from malnutrition and bent double from stomach cramps, John Strong, 63, who lives in a shack on a lot at Third and Maryland Avenue, Southwest, was conveyed to Gallinger Hospital in a Fourth Precinct patrol, Saturday evening. Strong told police that he has relatives living in Kingston, Jamaica, which includes: a mother, Mrs. Dianna Strong, and a sister, Miss Roxana Strong The elderly man was detained at the hospital for further observation.

The injured woman was taken to Casualty Hospital where it required seven stitches to close the wound in her head said to have been inflicted by the cops' sticks-Mrs. Young was released under $700 bond which was furnished by Walter J. Stewart, bondman. Board to Probe Slapping Private J. G. Middleton, white, of the Fourth Precinct, has been called upon by the Police Trial Board to explain on August 30, charges of having slapped Miss Dorothy Wood, 19, of Arlington, Va., and given a blow with the fist to George Burrell, formerly of 2220 Twelfth Street, whom he had arrested on a traffic charge. The pair was arrested on H Street, Southwest, August 14, when their machine collided with that of the officer. Officer Middleton took them to the station. As they stood before the rail, the officer is alleged to have struck each a blow, apparently angry because of the damage done to his car in the collision. Alleged Victims Fined Miss Wood was charged with driving a car with defective brakes, while Burrell, owner of the machine, was charged with permitting the operation of such a car. Following the alleged slapping incident, Miss Wood was fined $10, for which she served ten days in default of payment. Burrell was let off with a fine of $5, which he paid. Police authorities have sought Burrell at the Twelfth Street residence given on his permit so that he might be present at the trial board, but have been unable to locate him. MELON CUTTER HURT Plugging a knife into a big, juicy watermelon, Sunday, Nelson Ross, 25, of 1236 New Jersey Avenue, cut a nick in his right thumb, which required two stitches to close. SEES ATTEMPT ON PART OF POLICE TO GET REVENGE John Thurston Reports Cop Gave Him Ticket for "Being Smart" Major Ernest W. Brown, superintendent of police, started an investigation late last week into the alleged persecution of a witness by a No. 2 Precinct Station policeman for testifying against two officers who were chirged with torturing a 19-year-old youth at the precinct. John Thurston, owner of Thurston's Cafeteria, reported Friday he received a traffic ticket for parking in the alley in the rear of his place of business. The officer, I. L. Murphy, who gave Mr. Thurston the summons is said $t_0$ have remarked, that the ticket was given him for "being too smart." The incident was reported to Major Brown who promised an investigation. The police chief also told The Tribune that he will not tolerate persecution of witnesses by police. Mr. Thurston stated that he had been in the habit of parking his car daily in the alley for over two months and this was the first time he had been molested about it. The ticket was given him the day after Officers Charles Williams and Frank Ashley were freed of the brutality charges. **Lauten "Surprised"** Lieut. Gustave Lauten, who was in charge of the precinct at the time of the alleged beating of the youth, had a verbal clash with Mr. Thurston in front of the District Police Court after the trial last week. The lieutenant stated he was surprised at Mr. Thurston for the statement he made on the witness stand. During the verbal tilt the officer hastened to add that he did not intend to be threatening the restaurant owner. Other citizens are being urged to report to Major Brown or the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People any attempt on the part of police to molest them for testifying against the officers. The following letter was sent to the commander of No. 2 Precinct Station by Major Brown for a thorough investigation and report of the alleged persecution of witnesses: It would be very regrettable, indeed if any member of this department should attempt to testify against any individual who may have testified against officers of this department. Members of the department in the enforcement of all laws and regulations must be impartial and not in any way permit personal feelings to influence them. Three Young Boys Injured by Autos Three youths ranging in ages from 7 to 15, were slightly injured when knocked down by autos, Thursday. Reginald Davis, 7, of 623 Gresham Place, Northwest, escaped with minor injuries of the back when struck at the intersection of Georgia Avenue and Gresham Place. Numerous cuts about the face were received by James Williams, 11, of 1916 Eighth Street, Northwest, hit at Seventh and T Streets, by an auto said to have been operated by James Batch of the 1300 block of Upshur Street. Brison Childs, 15, of 605 L Street, Northwest, received a gash in the back and bruises of the left leg, at Second and M Streets. CATCHES HAND IN DOOR Catching her hand in a door, Mrs. Mary Eldridge, 32, of 1425 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, received a painful cut on the right middle finger. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Grand Lodge Sessions (Continued from page 1) The Elks to the city in behalf of the state of Indiana, with the grand exalted ruler, J. Finley Wilson, accepting the welcome for the order. Many local and state dignitaries were present at these exercises. Monday night saw the seventh annual national oratorical contest held at the Bethel A.M.E. Church. The six winners of the various regional contests throughout the country vied with each other to obtain the prizes. The winner of first place was Miss Annie Page, of St. Louis, Mo.; J. Leonard Farmer, Jr., of Atlanta, Ga., was second. The first place winner received $250, the others $100 each. The six speakers were: Miss Dorothy Goodman, Atlantic City; Miss Earleen Luckett, Washington, D.C.; Miss Almarion Perry, Detroit, Mich.; Miss Edith R. Davidson, Oxford, Miss.; Miss Annie Page, St. Louis, Mo.; and J. Leonard Farmer, Jr., Atlanta, Ga. All spoke on the same subject "The Constitution of the United States." Business Sessions Began Tuesday Actual business sessions got underway Tuesday morning at the Bethel A.M.E. Church, with the grand exalted ruler calling the house to order at 9 o'clock. At 10 o'clock the meeting was adjourned, and a special extraordinary meeting of the National Negro Voters' League was called to order by the grand exalted ruler, who is also president of this body. This group was organized at Chicago in 1928. A committee, headed by H. C. Richardson, Democrat, colored member of the legislature of Indiana, was appointed to prepare an address to the country concerning the status of Negro workers and business men under the N.R.A. codes. The membership of the committee included Perry W. Howard, Republican national committeeman from Mississippi; William J. Thompkins, Missouri Democrat; George W. Millner, head of the Longshoreman's Union; Walter Land, attorney, Norfolk; Charles P. Howard, Des Moines; Hudson J. Oliver, New York; William C. Hueston, Gary, Ind.; John Marquess, Pennsylvania; Truly Hatchett, Maryland; Letha Fleming, Ohio, and Grace Bryant, Michigan. It was expected that the committee would include approval of the efforts of the Negro Industrial League, under John P. Davis, executive secretary, and Robert C. Weaver, research director, to prevent discrimination against Negro workers in the codes. A special report on the code hearings was made by John P. Davis, Washington, who has participated in all of them as a representative of the Industrial League, endorsed by the executive officers of the Elks. Grand Parade Colorful At 2 o'clock, Tuesday afternoon, the annual grand parade was held. Thousands of spectators, white and colored, were gathered along the line of march as the antlered herd swept into view with the grand exalted ruler and his cabinet riding in the foremost cars, flanked by a motorcycle and police escort. The parade traversed the principal streets of the city, and in spite of the fact that it was not expected to equal those of former years, it was not lacking in glitter and gleam, for there were many brilliantly dressed marching clubs, floats, bands, and other accompanying groups. The spectacle was a colorful one, and the marchers were cheered all along the route of their march.

The hall was filled with guests and delegates. The grand exalted ruler, with his wife, Mrs J. Finley Wilson, led the grand march around the ballroom floor promptly at midnight. On Wednesday the business sessions were again resumed and the election of officers took place on that day. On Wednesday night the Elks were treated to a ten-round boxing match featuring Sammy Saughter, colored light-heavyweight champion of Indiana, who met Allen Matthews. Final business sessions were concluded on Thursday, and the delegates and visitors prepared for a jaunt to Chicago for the World's Fair. Special excursion rates were offered by the railroads for this trip. The convention this year, while not as glamorous as in past years, was a success, and the reports of the grand lodge officers showed a substantial gain in membership, and no excessive failure of financial standards. Many social affairs and special events enlivened the convention, with automobile races, featuring Chas. Wiggins, colored Indiana dirt track champion, and 24 other drivers; dances, shows and other attractions. Owner of Ford Coupe and Whiskey Sought A Ford coupe and six one-half gallons of corn whiskey are awaiting their owner at the Fourth Precinct. Early Monday morning, Officers B. F. Spittle and W. Walker, Jr., sighted a suspicious car near First and L Streets, Southwest. As they approached to make an investigation, two colored men jumped from the machine. The auto bore license tag F-1820, which is listed to Ardel Proctor, 1006 Sixth Street, Southeast. It was removed to the Prohibition Agency's garage. THREE ATTACKED WITH KNIFE Assaulted with a knife by an unnamed person, J. M. Spain, 37, of 512 U Street, Northwest, received a cut on the nose and at the outer corner of the left eye, last week.

CURRENT TOPICS Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON BUREAU PUBLISHING COMPANY ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE W. B. ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1933 The Negro and the Codes Indications are that recovery and prosperity will have to travel a long way upward—so far indeed that there will come about an actual shortage of labor in both the upper and lower ranks—before Negroes, whether workers, professionals, or business men, will reap any benefits from the recovery codes now being established throughout the land. News dispatches, from the South especially, and editorials in certain liberal newspapers, set forth the situation. For example, a news article from Birmingham, Alabama, in the Sunday Star says: Nearly every county in the state has organized a recovery council to see that the purposes of the national industrial recovery act are carried out. Some complaints of violations of the code have been made, particularly in the textile and laundry groups, where cheap labor has prevailed. Alabama is also experiencing, along with other states, the problem created by the discharge of colored workers and their replacement by white labor. Many employers have taken the attitude that since they had to pay a minimum of $14.50 a week, they would have white labor rather than black. Colored men had worked for much less. As a result, some menial tasks heretofore left for the colored man are now being done by unskilled white labor. Colored men are filing protests against this practice and the last of the matter has probably not be heard. Such statements from various localities could be multiplied indefinitely. And in those districts and occupations where considerable Negro labor has been employed, which are actually reached by the codes, as in the lumber and mining industries, such complaints as the following, coming from Memphis, are heard: One of the chief criticisms of the code is that it does not provide a sufficient differential between labor in the South and labor in the North. This is particularly true of the lumber and saw milling industry around Nashville and Memphis. In these industries much common Negro labor is used and heretofore the average price has ranged around $1.25 and $1.50 a day. The proposed code would almost double this. Similar objections have been raised by other industries which employ much of the common labor. We are told by those in a position to know that even in the industries referred to, Negroes have been employed in large measure because their labor could be had for less than whites. But if the wage standards of the lower grades are raised, whites can be had and no doubt will be favored. Truly the situation is not one for rejoicing nor is the remedy in sight. What Does It Mean? It will probably come as a surprise to most readers—and editors—of our papers to learn (as stated this week in a release by the Associated Negro Press) that— Half a hundred of the brightest minds among the younger Negroes of the country gathered at the home of Major Joel E. Spingarn [who is now president of the N.A.A.C.P.] up-state for a week-end conference, beginning last Friday and lasting through Sunday. The meeting which has been planned for over a year was projected, according to some of its sponsors, in an effort to discover what the newer, more liberal, better trained members of the group thought, the immediate objectives of the race should be. The release goes on to quote "an official close to Mr. Spingarn" as saying: "There are those who feel that the purposes of the leading welfare and civic organizations among Negroes, need reshaping. For example, twenty-five years ago, the N.A.A.C.P. was regarded as a radical if brilliant organization. In many sections of the country, particularly the South, one ran the risk of being considered dangerous and of becoming decidedly unpopular if it were known that one was an adherent of the N.A.A.C.P. So vastly has this sentiment changed, either with the growing conservatism of the organization or from comparison with the more rabid radicalism of groups such as the communists, that now the N.A.A.C.P. is regarded by the South and quoted by Southern-dailies as one of the safe and same organizations whose leadership Negroes ought to follow. Mr. Spingarn has called this conference in an effort to discover the trend of thinking among the younger group." Then follows a list of the subjects discussed and the statement that Dr. W. E. B. DuBois "was active in the formation of the conference," and "various key people were asked to suggest names of recent university graduates who have shown brilliance . . ." The last sentence of the release reads EDITORIAL & MAGAZINE PAGE thus: "It is felt that the conference may have an important bearing upon the future program of some of our national organizations." Concerning this release several questions arise: 1. Why are we not given the names of some of these graduates who have shown brilliance that attended the conference and the names of the "key people" who suggested them? 2. Who bore the expenses of this gathering of "recent" graduates—evidently without much money of their own? 3. Who was—or were—there besides Major Spingarn and (presumably) Dr. DuBois and the half-hundred graduates? 4. What conclusions were reached, if any? 5. Why the secrecy connected with the calling of the conference and the disengenuous report of it? 6. Have the "standpat leaders" at last heard a still, small voice or a menacing roar? Are Sororities Worth While? Under the above stated question as a heading, the Associated Negro Press sends out an article written by Jeanette Triplette Jones. The opening paragraph of this article reads thus: "The annual and bi-ennial conclaves of Greek letter organizations held in Chicago during the current month, focus public attention upon the program activities of these societies. Much discussion usually centers around the question as to whether or not fraternities and sororites are worth while contributors to community life, or whether they are useless appendages. The answer to this question and others of similar nature is to be found in the personnel of these groups. For example, taking just one sorority for this resume, Delta Sigma Theta theta women justifiably view with pride those within their group who have made and are making definite contributions in the fields of education, the professions and the arts. The writer then proceeds to enumerate two score or more "Delta women" who have achieved more or less distinction in the various professions, in social service, in music and the fine arts and in authorship. The achievements themselves are in most cases set forth in sufficient particularity to justify, in the main, her final statement as follows: Unquestionably the brilliant achievements of the members of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority set the group apart as making contributions of high order to the community in any consideration of fraternal organizations. Possibly other sororities—and fraternities, also—could list a similar group of persons and achievements, some possibly a longer list or more notable achievements. But the question which is raised in the title, whether sororities are worthwhile, remains untouched. Her statement that the answer to the question "is to be found in the personnel of these groups," seems to be reasoning in reverse—from effect to cause. The writer in her column-long article does not point out a single item which serves to indicate that the achievements of the persons named grew out of, or had relation to, their membership in the sorority—worthy organization though we may concede it to be. Perhaps some person can and will point to some of the worthy accomplishments of this particular sorority as an organization, and maybe of others which will justify their existence. But the case as set forth in the article brings to mind the epitaph said to have been placed on a monument erected in memory of an Athenian poet: "This monument doth not make thee famous, O Euripides, but thou hath made this monument famous." Home Owners Wait for Relief Subsequent events—or lack of events—seem to justify the warning sounded in these columns against unwarranted optimism concerning the working out of the Home Owners' Loan legislation. After long and insufficiently explained delay, the local office of the corporation provided for under the act of Congress got into action. That was several weeks ago, and, notwithstanding the pressing character of some of the cases of distressed owners, as stated in the daily press, up to the present not one case has been closed or a single loan made or mortgage refinanced. Newspaper reports indicate that little or nothing has been accomplished in any quarter of the country, or is likely to be. The sponsors of the legislation, though seemingly well-intentioned, were astonishingly shortsighted as to what mortgage holders would be willing to do to help those whom they had in their grasp. Moreover, the provisions of the act, as pointed out, left the way open to the practice of pull—political, social, and personal—to favoritism and even to graft, to say nothing of lack of a clearly set-out or understood mode of procedure. It is of course possible that some of the defects may be remedied and some worthwhile good accomplished, but the prospects are remote unless and until Congress at the next session, rapidly overhauls and amends THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. AUGUST 24. 1933 Kelly Miller Says Negro Proprietors of Retail Stores Dean Miller Analyzes Census Bulletin Concerning Negro Retail Business and Discusses Certain Questions the Data Raise By KELLY MILLER The Census Office has just released a bulletin on retail stores operated by Negroes in fifteen cities having Negro population of more than fifty thousand. These cities contain a population of 1,927,569. There are 5,741 stores, with nearly six thousand proprietors and more than 4,000 employees. The net amount of sales, in 1929, ran nearly $28,000,000. The Negro population of these stores spent on the average of $14.00 per capita in stores conducted by their own race. The average sales for each store amounted to $4,853. The kinds of business are listed, under such general heads as food, general stores, automobile, apparel, furniture, restaurants, hardware, drug stores, etc. The tables enable the reader at a glance to determine the essential facts about the business operations for each of the cities listed. The great sociological value of this release lies in the fact that it is the first and only scientific and authentic presentation of the facts concerning the Negro in retail business. Until now we have been fed up on guesses, surmise, speculation and vague estimates. Unfortunately for the purposes of the sociologist these figures stand alone without comparable statistical information. In order to derive valuable conclusions from statistical data, they must be distributed in time as well as in space. We cannot trace a curve if given only one point on its locus. These figures are for 1929 only. We do not know how they have been increasing or diminishing in prior decades, and therefore can hardly determine how they will be conducted in the future. We shall, therefore, have to possess our souls in patience till the Census Office furnishes us with comparable data for future figures carry on their face. 1. Negro stores deal mainly in food stuff either in its raw or cooked state. Nearly seven-tenth of all listed business falls under this category. General merchandise, wearing apparel, hardware, shoes and the like do not figure heavily in the list. It is interesting to note that there were only 13 furniture, 15 men's and boys' clothing stores, 13 shoes stores, and no ready-to-wear women's clothes. When we consider what great consumers we are in these lines, we begin to realize how far short we fall in supplying our own needs. 2. Proprietorship is the acid test of material progress. The Jew is the storekeeper for the Gentile world. His storekeeping has little or no relation to the needs of his own race. The Negro, on the other hand, does not at present cater to the white race. His only storekeeping is confined to the circle of his racial needs. He furnishes only an infinitesimal fraction of his own needs and necessities. The white race are his storekeepers. 3. The Negro merchant must needs compete with white dealers, Jew and Gentile, in face of overwhelming odds. They have the money experience, and business traditions. How far is the race willing to impose upon itself a heavy protective tariff in order to build up Negro business? This is a hard question, and hardy must the Negro answer it. The tendency and spirit of the times point against the Negro merchant. The chain store the merger and the collectivised spirit of business tend to freeze out the small fry, white and black. This challenge is flung defiantly in the Negro's face. Will he meet it? Can he meet it? Or will he find it too hard to combat the farm? 4. Scanning these figures gives rise to some interesting and curious reflections. Why do Baltimore and Birmingham Negro deals with their own race to the extent of $7.00 and $6.00 per capita respectively as against $13.00 for Atlanta and $25.00 for Detroit? Or why do Washington, St. Louis, Richmond fall so far behind Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, as to percentage of total sales? These big Negro cities fail to support a volume of business such as we would normally expect in comparison with the less populous areas. For the 22.3 per cent of the total Negro population in these fifteen cities of half hundred thousand inhabitants they conducted only 27.6 per cent of the business. Out of over a hundred million dollars worth of business done within the race, less than twenty-eight million took place in these metropolitan centers. Nothing is great or small except by comparison. I pay ten cents for a Negro weekly and feel satisfied with the bargain. On Sunday morning I pay ten cents for the New York Times, a journal ten times as large as the largest Negro paper, and also feel satisfied. The disclosed volume of Negro business, in itself, seems large and encouraging, but when we compare it with the volume of business done by the white race for Negroes, it dwells to a mere bagatelle. It is only a mood of mind that would cause us to point to our business achievements with pride or note them with chagrin. The Census Office has just released a bulletin on retail stores operated by Negroes in fifteen cities having Negro population of more than fifty thousand. These cities contain a population of 1,927,569. There are 5,741 stores, with nearly six thousand proprietors and more than 4,000 employees. The net amount of sales, in 1929, ran nearly $28,000,000.

In the meantime there are certain obvious deductions and lessons which these figures carry on their face. 1. Negro stores deal mainly in food stuff, either in its raw or cooked state. Nearly seven-tenths of all listed business falls under this category. General merchandise, wearing apparel, hardware, shoes and the like do not figure heavily in the list. It is interesting to note that there were only 13 furniture, 15 men's and boys' clothing stores, 13 shoe stores, and no ready-to-wear women's clothes. When we consider what great consumers we are in these lines, we begin to realize how far short we fall in supplying our own needs. 2. Proprietorship is the acid test of material progress. The Jew is the storekeeper for the Gentile world. His storekeeping has little or no relation to the needs of his own race. The Negro, on the other hand, does not at present cater to the white race. His only storekeeping is confined to the circle of his racial needs. He furnishes only an infinitesimal fraction of his own needs and necessities. The white race are his storekeepers. The Negroes in these fifteen cities trade with their own people only to the extent of fourteen dollars per capita. Nineteen twentieths of their business is lodged with white merchants. Unless there is a great increase in self-patronage the boys and girls now crowding cur schools and colleges will be hard put to find occupations beyond manual and menial service. 3. The Negro merchant must needs compete with white dealers, Jew and Gentile, in face of overwhelming odds. They have the money, experience, and business traditions. How far is the race willing to impose upon itself a heavy protective tariff in order to build up Negro business? This is a hard question, and hardy must the Negro answer it. The tendency and spirit of the times point against the Negro merchant. The chain store, the merger and the集配vised spirit of business tend to freeze out the small fry, white and black. This challenge is flung defiantly in the Negro's face. Will he meet it? Can he meet it? Or will he find it too hard to combat city conditions and be compelled to flee to the farm? 4. Scanning these figures gives rise to some interesting and curious reflections. Why do Baltimore and Birmingham Negroes deal with their own race to the extent of $7.00 and $6.00 per capita respectively as against $13.00 for Atlanta and $25.00 for Detroit? Or why do Washington, St. Louis, Richmond fall so far behind Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, as to percentage of total sales? These big Negro cities fail to support a volume of business such as we would normally expect in comparison with the less populous areas. For the 22.3 per cent of the total Negro population in these fifteen cities of over half hundred thousand inhabitants they conducted only 27.6 per cent of the business. Out of over a hundred million dollars worth of business done within the race, less than twenty-eight million took place in these metropolitan centers. Nothing is great or small except by comparison. I pay ten cents for a Negro weekly and feel satisfied with the bargain. On Sunday morning I pay ten cents for the New York Times, a journal ten times as large as the largest Negro paper, and also feel satisfied. The disclosed volume of Negro business, in itself, seems large and encouraging, but when we compare it with the volume of business done by the white race for Negroes, it dwindles to a mere bagatelle. It is only a mood of mind that would cause us to point to our business achievements with pride or note them with chagrin. the provisions of the act—the overhauling to be based on the principle that the money lender will yield no advantage that he has, except under compulsion or under the conviction that he is securing a greater advantage in the transaction. When the N.A.A.C.P. lists its debits and credits at the end of the year in which column will the Harlem Hospital investigation be placed? Chicago and Chicagoans By CLIFFORD C. MITCHELL INTERVIEWING A BUSY EXECUTIVE Some weeks ago I commented in this column on the reception tendered me by Richard L. Jones, superintendent of the South Center Department Store, 47th and South Parkway, here in Chicago, when he so kindly escorted me to all parts of the store. This week a letter arrived from O. S. Williams, of New York City, in which he says: "I was rather interested in your description of the South Center Department Store and the reception accorded you there. I was interested immediately in where do they obtain their executives? Do they maintain a school of training? How many employees do they carry? Do they carry nationally known merchandise? Are their mechandising methods up to date? And a host of other questions too numerous to mention. I think there's a great story there and you're the one to give it to the general reading public." Always willing to accommodate my readers, especially one a thousand miles away who takes such an interest in my articles, I again called on Mr. Jones, letting him read the complete letter from which I quoted. As the result of the ensuing conversation and from my own observations but using my own language, I shall attempt to answer the questions asked by my reader-correspondent. Frankly, there is but one colored executive at the South Center, and that is Dick Jones. And he has been a fixture at the store since its inception in 1928. At the time he was connected with the business department of the Chicago Defender, and because of his friendship with the founders of the store they offered him a job on the opening of their store. Mr. Jones, at that time, was unfamiliar with store retailing or merchandising, but he possessed an alert mind, a willingness to learn, The Negro and the Constitution The Negro and the Constitution By EARLEEN LUCKETT Junior Class, Dunbar High School Washington, D.C. ; EDITOR'S NOTE—This oration won first place in the regional contest among six contestants in Baltimore, Maryland, on July 16, and was delivered at the national oratorical contest sponsored by the Improved-Benevolent Protective Order of Elks at Indianapolis, August 21. As Negroes let us look upon the Constitution of the United States as to its direct effect upon us, searching for that part or parts that will insure to us that degree of domestic tranquility, that establishment of justice and that security of liberty that is so emphatically set forth in its memorable preamble. Have we ever, during our search found this tranquility, this justice or this liberty? With this in mind, let us go back to the reason for and the formation of this Magna Charter. Before the presentation of the Declaration of Independence, the American colonies were so dominated and persecuted by the crushing hand and heel of England, that in the year of 1776, these colonies risked everything and drew up and presented the Declaration of Independence to their persecutor, England. The basis of their fight for freedom was set forth in this declaration, the substance of which states that all men are created equal; endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights governments are instituted among men. With this war cry, men fought and passed in to that Great Beyond for the freedom of their posterity. Their cause was a just one, the summary of all their grievances being Freedom. It was in the Revolutionary War that this independence was won. Two years after this newly won freedom, the colonies drew up the Articles of Confederation, regulating the respective rights of the then existing states. Even at this time slavery was legal; these same men who had fought for the right that all men are created equal, thought otherwise in respect to Negro slaves. The oppressed became the oppressors of American black men who were brought to our shores like cattle from Africa. What had become of that battle cry of the Revolutionary War? Was it to be forever silenced while black men created by God as equals of all other men were yet enslaved in a land conceived in liberty and established for justice to all? We come now to 1787, and the formation of the Constitution of the United States. Search as we may, from the beginning of this original document to the end and we find little mention permitting or restricting the damnable slave trade, the bartering in human bodies and souls for monetary gain. What had become of those beau- and a pleasing personality that has made for him friends who are legion throughout America. Through his own wide connections and those of the store founders he was made welcome at all the retail and wholesale establishments in Chicago's Loop and through these contacts he secured his schooling in retail merchandising and then applied as much of his learning as possible to conditions at the South Center. From this start the South Center then developed its own sales force, recruiting workers of both races and trained them in their own training school at the store, which incidentally is a continuous process, because all employees attend these training classes at least twice a week. No distinction whatever is made between the races, and from the humble beginning of about fourteen colored employees we now find that sixty per cent of the one hundred eighty regular employees are colored. The merchandise carried conforms to the requirements of their community, trade as they have learned by experience that if they cannot supply an equal grade of merchandise at similarprices as the stores in the Loop that their trade will obviously be lost to the Loop stores. It was estimated that about seventy per cent of the store's customers were colored, and of the colored customers the greater majority of the business comes from the middle class working people. Incidentally there is not a bank within a mile of the store, and the workmen all cash their pay-roll checks at the South Center to the tune of from forty-five to fifty thousand dollars a week. One really has to walk through this enterprising establishment, noting its busy corps of workers and seeing both races working in harmony, to really appreciate what the precedent means, not only to Chicago and Chicagoans but to all America, for what the South Center has and is doing is definite proof of what can be accomplished elsewhere. And although the South Center is a commercial establishment it is also a show place for visitors to inspect, and a place where visitors are always welcome. tiful words that were written into the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal? Had their champions so soon forgotten the pain of the oppressors' heel? We confend that before the amendments, our Constitution was not explicit about the Negro's status as a citizen, and this great document, healed by all America today as the guarantor and protector of human rights, left the black man in a position where his persecution was tolerated, if not legalized. But, our Constitution was based firmly upon principles of justice, and because of this no portion of God's people could remain forever in bondage under its jurisdiction. Had not the Constitution admitted of the interpretation given to it by Lincoln that its principles applied to all American people, even the great Lincoln could not have rallied sufficient support to guide the Nation to victory in the Civil War, and thus by preserving the Union have established in fact those principles of equality and justice propounded in theory by the framers of the Constitution. Yet, today, in this very land, whose seal of freedom Lincoln signed with his own blood we find the principles of the Constitution threatened by a rebellion more terrible than that faced in the great crisis of Lincoln's day. This spirit of rebellion against the supreme law of the land is a dangerous type of anarchy, a barbaric individualism that confuses liberty with license; that respects neither God nor man. As long as any section or class defies the supreme law of the land, no part of that land, no class of those people, can be sure of the permanency of their security of justice under that government. The most outstanding violation of the Constitution and the greatest travesty upon justice was recently revealed in the Scottsboro case. Because these nine young Negroes were not given a fair trial and were not tried by a fair, impartial jury as accorded by the Constitution of the United States and the amendments thereto, their case was appealed to the United States Supreme Court. The Supreme Court realizing that such injustice and inequality were absolute disregards of our personal liberties and rights, reversed the decision of the Alabama court and the boys were granted a new trial. Such violations of established law hurl a challenge to all America, rich or poor, black or white, to cherish and protect constituted authority lest those institutions so dear to the hearts of a liberty-loving people perish and give way to tyrannical individualism. We must take up the challenge and execute our sacred charge lest the very foundation of our Constitution become a mere scrap of paper. Must we make a mere gesture at the enforcement of this, the Negroes' bill of rights so expressly pronounced and guaranteed every American citizen in the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to our Constitution? Must we appeal thousands of times to the Goddess of Justice to weigh our causes in her scales with but feeble results? No. You and you, and you must No. You, and you, and you must BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPECIAL FEATURES continue to fight, continue to plead. "Will the Constitution of the United States keep faith with us?" We must make the humblest citizen of our race realize that we do have redress of our grievances in our sacred bill of rights, the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to our Constitution.

If President Roosevelt Can Cure Our Economic Ills and Yet Preserve Capitalism, He Will Prove To Be the Greatest of Statesmen To the Editor: General Hugh Johnson, hard riding ex-cavalry officer, and two-fisted fighting head of President Roosevelt's N.R.A., came to St. Louis Sunday by aeroplane and formally launched the movement before an audience of 18,000 that packed the municipal theatre and crammed every available space in the park outside. In short, barking sentences, the afternoon sun forming a halo about his thinning hair, General Johnson drove home the salient points in his address. His language was simple, clean cut, straight to the point. The purpose of the N.R.A. is to shorten working hours, increase wages, and to put two men to work where one was working before.

LESLIE FRAZIER In writing "Just Jane" the author, Kay Mann, has sought to give, what seems to her, one logical explanation of the reason why "real people" who live active and effective lives, and experience emotions which make life interesting and joyful, sometimes intricate and sad, manage to make of this "School of Life" an enjoyable experience, taken all in all. So few are able to accomplish this miracle, that it is a happy experience to read about them, when the reading is rendered so enticing as this author has made it. She has undertaken to put this explanation in such form as to give the reader a sense of freedom, security and enjoyment, while reading it—and afterwards; and she has done just this. The author has the rather rare gift of vividly expressing the keen and inspiring thought of her characters. One reads the story in the same spirit, and with the same delight, that he would in a lively visit with a number of wholly charming friends—events flowing along in the atual manner that seem quite to be expected in such circumstances.

EATON The Power of Protest Texas Presents "Aida" There is power in united protest —power so great that when it is sometimes put into action, the result is almost unbelievable. Afro-Americans learned this last week. The radio program, "Voice of the South," under the sponsorship of Station WOL, was discontinued last Friday after hundreds of disapprovals, many of which were made over the telephone, had been received by the management. The Negro's voice of disapproval, for the ridicule of the race in this program, was responsible for the act of the management of WOL. You probably ask what power could have been involved in this protest that succeeded in withdrawing a program that had been requested by Nordics? The answer is that WOL is a local broadcasting station with its financial support coming mainly from revenue collected from advertisements of merchandise of down-town stores. Colored people are purchasers and their trade is sought by those who advertise. Therefore WOL can not in any way afford to offend its listeners who are prospective customers of the downtown stores. Therein lies the commanding force of the protest. The Texas Grand Opera Company, with an all-white cast, presented Verdi's "Aida" as its outstanding feature of Texas Day at the Century of Progress. Exposition in Chicago, yesterday. Texas, being a Southern state, as might be expected, trained a white woman made up as a Negro to sing the role of Aida. "Aida," as the opera is written, a captive of an Egyptian king captured by an Egyptian princess centuries ago. Every since this opera was first produced in Paris in 1871, white women, with dark make-up and black gloves, have been singing the role of this brown Ethiopian girl. We are proud of our own Miss Caterine Jarbore, a Southern girl, who broke this tradition when she sang this important part for the Chicago Opera Company in New York last July 29. It so seems that an opera starring a dark face is being given much work here of late. And to think that Texas sponsors such an opera in celebration of Texas Day at the Exposition, is truly a surprise. It has been found that with a 90 per cent marriage rate, the children of American men of science are only 1.88 per family, or about seven-tenths of a son per family.

We have only praise and the finest spirit of co-operation for President Roosevelt and his N.R.A, But we must face facts, disagree- able though they be. The N.R.A. in its most. roseate and ideal aspects, is a make-shifts an attempt to patch up certain fun- damental defects in the capitalistic system; a system so. inherently selfish, greedy and vicious that it has brought about, its own inevita- ble ruin. Capitalism has simply had its day. It has come to the end of its rope. It is through. Capitalism is based on the desire for personal gain, Its. greed, its avarice, its price fixing, its eut- throat ‘business ethics, its sweat. shop methods, its long working hours, its starvation wages, its whole vicious eycle of conduct, are as natural to the entire rotten sys- tem as the planetary movements are to the cosmic universe. President Roosevelt, through his N.R.A,, would cure our economic ills and preserve the capitalistic system at the same time. If he can do this he is not only the great est of statesmen, but a political Houdini as well. No amount of fanfare or bally- hoo can hide the fact that sinister forces are already at work to de- feat the purposes of the N.R.A. Employers, large and small, are lying awake nights figuring ways to institute the shorter hours with- out hiring additional men. The ist steel and coal industries are jagrant offenders in this regard. The steel industry “was, sharply reprimanded by gallant little Sec- retary Frances Perkins for at- tempting to introduce a different woqe sale under, the NRA. for its Negro employees in the South. In short, the eapitalistie heart is hy no means broke nor contrite. It remains as black, as selfish, as con- niving as ever.

The would-be attacker of Erline Döwling, 11, of 619 K Street, South west, was frightened away by the timely appearance of an unknown white man after he had torn the clothes from the body of the girl. While Erline was playing on a vacant lot alongside of her home, Thursday afternoon, a stranger approached and asked her if she wanted to make 28 cents by helping him to move some things from one house to another. Not doubting the sincerity of the questioner, she followed him across the highway bridge. Concealed by a clump of bushes, into which he led her, the stranger made his real purpose known when, began ripping the clothes from the struggling girl. He made a hasty retreat when the white man came upon the scene. The fugitive is said to be of dark brown skin, about 5 feet 9 inches, tall, and weighing about 190 pounds. His face was said to be disfigured with bumps. Woman Accosted The woman accosted was Mrs. Sadie Spealman, 34, of 1506 First Street, Southwest. She was walking on P Street, between First and Third Streets, Southwest, about 6:30 a.m., Thursday. An unknown man exposing his person, invited Mrs. Spealman to come into the bushes with him, Meeting a refusal, the man cursed the woman and hurled a stone at her. Mrs. Spealman was not struck by the missile, but fled from the scene and reported the incident to the police. The assailant was described as being of a ginger-cake color, with a heavy brown mustache. He is about 5 feet and 4 inches in height. He wore a brown shirt, brown trousers, and blue overalls. No arrests had been made early this week in connection with either of the cases.

The half-blind, defenseless old man, whose age was said to be 101, was killed in his bed, his skull split, probably by a blow from a pipe. Sheriff Raymond A. Carroll said the burglaries got what they were after, for it was generally believed the aged man kept $500 to $1,000 hidden in his house. It was the fifth time he had been robbed. Two years ago burglar got $198 and almost beat him to death. The old man repeatedly had been warned against hiding money around the house, and finally put much of his wealth in a bank. Recently the bank closed, with $3,400 of the man's money on the books. After the Civil War "Uncle Ned" worked for the Tilghman and Goldborough families. Various members of the families left him legacies.

When the watermelon ceremonies were completed, Miss Olive Ward, superintendent of the camp, announced that the eighth weekly examination and weighing of the little patients had indicated remarkable gains by many of them and a general improvement in the health of all. All but five of the 55 campers had made gains, the average gains for them being 3% pounds. One girl, Venoris Tharrington, had a record of 9% pounds gained; Dezzie Lee Giles, 9% pounds; Helen Crutchfield, 8% pounds; and James Fisher, 7% pounds.

Woman Ax Wielder Bows in Defeat to Policeman Using an ax as a weapon, Mrs. Virginia Parks, 26, of 304 D Street Southwest, vanquished two opponents in a combat at 227 D Street Southwest, Saturday afternoon. Mrs. Parks first placed Russell Taylor, 29, of 227 D Street, Southwest, hors-de-combat by a blow on the back of the neck with her ax. She then turned on Mrs. Katie West, 38, of 57 Canal Street, Southwest, striking her in the top of the head with the same ax. Both ax victims were taken to Emergency Hospital and treated. Their condition was not regarded as serious, and they were later discharged. The ax wielder bowed in defeat to an officer of the Fourth Precinct, who charged her with "assault with a dangerous weapon." Two persons who witnessed the melee were Americus Smith, of 227 D Street, and Frank Manuel, 497 Cullinane Court. Mrs. Hazel E.

CUTS LIP IN FALL Mrs. Josephine Jones, 26, of 1522 Tenth Street, Northwest, received a laceration on the upper lip, last week, when she slipped down the stairs at her home. ONE BUMBERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER ELK LODGE JOINS J.C.WRIGHT IN HIS CEMETERY FIGHT Elder Men's Relief Association Also Sends Protest to Senator King Senator William H. King, chairman of the Senate Committee on the district of Columbia, received, last week, letters from the Morning Star Lodge of Elks and the Elder Men's Relief Association, protesting against disgraceful conditions at Woodlawn Cemetery and supporting James C. Wright, local school teacher and civic leader, in his relentless effort to secure remedial relief. Mr. Wright. 514 T Street, Northwest, who has waged a two-year fight for the betterment of conditions at the cemetery, recently filed Senator King several complaints from prominent citizens who appealed for improvement at the burial grounds. Calls It "An Eye-Sore" Cortez W. Peters, secretary of the Elk lodge, referred to the cemetery as an "eye-sore to public decency" and assured the Senator the lodge's support of any legislation tending to repair this condition and protect the people from similar conditions which may arise elsewhere. He said among other things that "the cemetery association has become so bereft of principle and moral obligation that legislative enforcement is inevitable to prevent it from displacing the potters' field from its position as the least desirable place of burial." J. C. Burlls, recording secretary of the Elder Men's Association, charged that persons are forced to wade through mud or the undergrowth to reach the vault or their individual lots. The latter association has a membership of 200, while the Elks lodge has a membership of nearly a thousand. GIRL WIFE TRIES TO KILL HERSELF Husband Blames Ill Health When Mrs. Dorothy Minor Tries Suicide In a state of despondency over her ill health, according to the theory advanced by her husband, Mrs. Dorothy Louise Minor, 18, of 345 M Street, Southwest, attempted to end it all by the gas route, Friday. The young wife was found lying in a front room on the second floor of their home by the husband, Arthur Minor, with gas flowing from an open gas jet. The gas was immediately cut off, and the Fire Rescue Squad was summoned. Mrs. Minor was taken to Gallinger Hospital and treated for illuminating gas poisoning. Her condition was not serious, and she was permitted to return home the same day. The husband told officers investigating the case that he could advance no reason for his wife's rash act other than that it was due to poor health. Miss Sylvia Garner to Teach in Denmark Miss Sylvia Garner, daughter of the Rev. and Mrs. A. C. Garner, who for many years lived in Washington when her father was pastor of the Plymouth Congregational Church, and who now makes her home in New York City, is studying in Paris at the Paris Conservatory of Music. Miss Garner, it will be recalled, was one of a group of twenty-two artists who went to Russia to make the proposed picture, "Black and White." After spending eight months in that country giving recitals of Negro spirituals in nearly all of the principal cities of Russia, she was awarded a scholarship by International College, Elsinore, Denmark, for the purpose of teaching the Negro spirituals to Danish students. Next year Miss Garner will return to Denmark for the full term, with the same end in view. Miss Garner plans to visit her parents and friends this fall in the United States for a few weeks before returning to Denmark.

Mazyck, attorney and author, who died on August 7, left personal property of $1,023 and no real estate, Mrs. Naomi Grant Mazyck, the widow, filed petition for letters of administration, in the District Probate Court, Monday. The request was presented in behalf of the widow by George A. Parker and Campbell C. Johnson, attorneys. The document set forth that Mrs. Mazyck is named as executrix in the last will and testament of the deceased which was witnessed on August 1, just seven days before his death. The petition also stated that Mazzyck left no other heirs, having been preceded in death by his father, mother and a brother. The window averred that so far as she could ascertain, Mazzyck left expenses amounting only to $500, including those of the funeral. The last will and testament of Mr. Mazzyck, dated August 1, which was also filed Monday, was written on the letter-head of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, of which he was the grand keeper of records and seal for the past ten years. It was witnessed by C. C. Johnson and Mrs. Ruby M. Johnson, both of 1125 Columbia Road, Northwest. The will read in part: "I, Walter Mazzyck, make this my last will and testament, hereby annulling and revoking all former wills by me at any time made. "I hereby give, devise, and bequeath to my wife, Naomi Grant Mazyck, all of my property, real, personal and mixed, in fee simple absolutely, to her, and her assigns forever.

THEODORE REED COLLEGE SENIOR BURIED TUESDAY Funeral services for Theodore Philip Reed, 22, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Albert F.

The young man died at Freedmen's Hospital, Friday, of a few days' illness following a major operation. The pall bearers at the funeral were John Hawkins, Britton Sayles, Wesley Norwood, Thomas E.

HAROLD HOPPER HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Before 2000 spectators the king and queen of tennis retained their crowns in their respective events. Reginald Weir of New York successfully defended his title in the final round of the men's singles event here Saturday. Miss Ora Washington again demonstrated that she is still the mistress of the courts. This marked the third successive time that Weir has won the premier laurels, while Miss Washington has reached her seventh milestone of championships. The setting of a cloudy day proved ideal for both the players and the spectators. Equally as ideal was the brand of tennis shown here. As is true with human nature, the gallery was pulling for the underdog and in the women's singles it looked for a while that their efforts were not in vain. Final Round: Reginald Weir (New York) d. Nathaniel Jackson (Tuskegee) 9-7; 6-3; 6-0. Quarter Final Round: Miss O. Washington d., Mrs. S. W. Jones 6-1; 6-1; Mrs. E. Leonard d., Mrs. B. Isaacs 6-2; 6-1; Mrs. F. Gittens d., Mrs. R. Smith 6-2; 6-0: The New Yorker, Weir, left no doubt in the minds of the tennis enthusiasts that he is the master of the game. The score of 9-7; 6-3; 6-0 is evidence that his opponent, Nathaniel Jackson, the Tuskegee atar and intercollegiate champion, will need to improve his game just a bit more to win the national title. In the women's singles, the rookers for the champion, Miss Washington, were agast after Miss Gittens took the first set at 6-0; but when the match was over the final score of 0-6; 6-3; 6-0 gave them the opportunity to say "I told you so." The veterans' singles, which was the first match of the day, found John F. N. Wilkinson of Washington the winner over Dr. C. W. Furonge of Smithfield, N.C. This was the second match of the tournament in which the ultimate loser was forced to retire. Dr. Furlong, injured his knee during the third set and was forced to give up, giving the title to his opponent. The score was 6-3; 0-6; 4-1 retired. The men's doubles was just another walk-away for the Jackson brothers, Nathaniel and Franklin. These two Southerners were not given any trouble by the Western due of Wilbur Clark (Chicago) and Richard Hudlin (St. Louis). In the first set the Westerners threatened only to have the Jacksons tighten up and pull out the last two games. In the next two sets, it was apparent who were the ultimate winners. The Jacksons just breezed through them as they saw fit. The final score was 6-4; 6-1; 6-0. The finals of the mixed doubles was really unexpected; the team of Mrs. Emma Leonard of New York and Dr. Clarence O. Hilton of Newark, N.J., proving that their team work was superior to that of their opponents, Mrs. Elise Conick and Eyre Saitch, both of New York. The score was 8-6; 2-6; 6-4. Hubert Eaton, a sixteen-year-old youth from Winston-Salem, N.C., won the Junior Singles title. John Chandler of Fanwood, N.J., was the favorite and was seeded No. 1 but illness forced the Jersey boy to retire during the third set, giving the title to his opponent. The score was 6-2; 3-3; 15-40 retired. Miss Washington won her second title when she and her partner, Miss Anita Gant of Washington, D.C., just romped through to an easy victory over Mrs. Myrtle Cranson of Fort Benning, Ga., and Mrs. Jessie Abbott of Tuskegee. The winning team was victorious by the score of 6:0-6:1. The National Championships for 1834 will be held during the third week in August at Lincoln University, Pa., as guests of the Pennsylvania Tennis Association. Men's Singles Quarter Final Round: N.

Arlington Ace Allows Three Hits; Quicksteps Beaten Three measly singles was the extent of the trouble done the hurling efforts of John Maddison, ace of the Arlington Athletics' pitching staff, as the Virginia Quicksteps were handed a 6-2 shellacking on the Green Valley diamond, last Sunday afternoon. On the other hand, the combined offerings of Butler and Conner, Quickstep slabmen, were touched up for a total of 14 hits.

HITS HEAD ON CEMENT After striking his head on a cement floor when he fell, last week, Alex Sharp, 23, of 732 Ninth Street, Northeast, had two stitches taken in the left side of his scalp. Junor Singles Men's Doubles Women's Doubles --- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24. 1933 Sam's Scripts This column, which the writer intends should be your column, was relegated to the last column of the last page, in the issue of August 16. It was therefore, with much consternation and disgust that he went into the composing department to discover the reason for the act and the culprit who did it. Herman P. Socks, chief makeup man of this tribunal, was the poor critter who, after having had the "buck" passed to him, was compelled to plead guilty. He offered excuses, but as they were not forthcoming until after he had been revived, they were a little late. Except for a pair of blackened eyes, a slightly lacerated lower lip, three shattered front teeth, a dislocated jawbone, and a trivial nose injury, Mr. Socks came out of the heated discussion unscathed. For the sake of those who know Mr. Socks and are interested in his well being, I might add that the part of the anatomy below his shoulder blades remain unharmed—I am too tall. **** Washington, once more, can boast of a tennis champion. Denied a "big shot" in the game in which it for such a long stretch reigned supreme, the nation's capital offered Johnnie Wilkinson "to the sacrifice" in the veteran's singles, an added event to this year's nationals. Wilkinson outlasted Smithfield, North Carolina's Dr. C. W. Furlong. One of the most beautiful athletic lay-outs in this section of the country, barring such plants as the Havre de Grace race track, has been selected for the scene of The Tribune Rounl-Robin Baseball Tournament. Green Valley Park, situated in an environment of rolling hills, green grass and stately trees, is unsurpassed in picturesqueness. And it rests at the end of a beautiful drive of just the right length from the city. I've had numerous requests for information from time to time on young fellows who, after making a rather noble beginning in athletics hereabouts, disappeared and have not been heard from since. Here goes. The first is Mike Riley-Thornton, if you prefer. A good baseball player, lightning fast in high school track activities, and a smart football end while at Bordentown Military Institute, Riley suddenly went out of the picture. He is now in his third year as feature dancer of a dancing team, Riley and Wilkins, at the Follies Bergere in Paris. Drifted around by the municipal tennis courts after church, last Sunday. Four women players were doing their numbers in teeporch-ean fashion. Stick to it, girls, this writer is behind you to the last key on his typewriter. He'd even go to the extent of organizing a female tennis group, assuring it the utmost co-operation of Anita Gant, stellar Washington raqueter, to the end of representative female tennis in Washington. It's a tough would when a fellow, home from college on his vacation, consents to tumpire, sandlot baseball game, makes a decision that goes against the grain of one particular player, and has to duck every time that player gets possession of the ball. Such was the plight of Rock Matthews, Johnson C. Smith all-round athlete, last Sunday, Lang, Aztec catcher, befuddled by a Matthews decision in the first game of the double-header with the Hillsdales, pulled a boner when he made a bad throw at the person of Matthews. Ordinarily an individual would be criticized for missing an umpure, in this case neither the price that was paid nor the chance the umpure took in remaining in the game was to be appreciated.

AZTECS TRIMMED TWICE BY 'DALES; SCORES 2-0, 6-2 The Aztec A.C. nine, aspirants to the District baseball championship, were twice turned back by Ernie Johnson's Hillsdale cohorts in their pre-tournament meeting at Twenty-sixth and Bennings Road, Northeast, last Sunday afternoon. The Prides of LeDroit Park were on the long ends of 2-0 and 6-2 scores. Gil Bland, ace of the 'Dale staff, took the mound in the opening game and in top form, scored a three-hit shutout. Complete master of the situation throughout, the cross-fire artist towered head and shoulders above any threat the Southwest outfit had to offer. On only two occasions did opposing runners reach third base, and in each case two were out when this was accomplished. The second encounter saw the Hillsdale management cross up all pre-game predictions by entrusting the slab duties to 19-year-old Curley Williams. The youthful recruit pitched a steady game to the capable receiving of the veteran Peck Banks, and accorded first class support Williams's ultimate victory was never in doubt. Some mention should be made of the performance of the Aztec port-sider, Garland, who did the flinging in the initial game. Against anything but the superb pitching contributed by his mound opponent. Bland, the Southwest southpaw would have earned a better fate. The fielding of Harry Jackson, Aztec shortstop, in the first game, and his batting in the nightcap were outstanding features of the losers' play. # FIRST GAME # AZTECS AB R B Butter,fr Prir,fr Harris,3b Jackson,ss Robson,se Brown,lb Dodley,2b Dudley,2b Garland,p Totals.. 29 3 0 4 Score by inning: Axtecs .. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Hilldale .. 0 2 0 0 0 0 x-2 Two-base hits (Johnson, Dodson, Stokey) Two-base hits (Johnson, Dodson, Stokey) Outs by Bland (6), by Garland (7).

SWIMMING MEET TO DRAW EAST'S BEST Galaxy of Eastern Stars to Vie for Honors at Francis The cream of the East's swimming talent will vie for honors in the annual A.A.U. championships which gets underway at the Francis Swimming Pools, Saturday afternoon. Victorious in each of the previous meets, the Francis team will tackle the toughest opposition since the beginning of the yearly water battles. Exceptionally close competition is expected from the Baltimore and New York teams which have pressed the local aggregation in past years. Teams from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Norfolk will also be on hand and are expected to make plenty of trouble for the title contenders. Some of the widely known stars who will compete are Fred Douglass, University of Vermont sprint champion; Leroy Williams, New York Olympic aspirant; Charles Isles, junior Metropolitan swimming champion; Ernest Colburn, of the Philadelphia Y.M.C.A.; E. Petty, of the Pittsburgh Y; and Wainwright Beckett, D.C.; A.A.U. high and low board runner up. Henrietta Brown, of the Baltimore Swimming Club, and Connie Lucas, of the Francis Swimming Club, are expected to furnish the bulk of the competition in the women's events. However, there are many others who are capable of extending the favorites if in their best form. The meet, a part of the program of the Public Buildings and Public Grounds, will begin promptly at 2:30 o'clock. The dives, high and low boards, will be held in the morning.

CARTER HURLS AS HUNTSVILLE WINS Lefty Bob Carter, considered by many to be the premier portier of local diamond teams, continued his winning ways by stopping the fast travelling Willow Tree nine, in a 7-4 engagement at Pomphret, Md., home grounds of his Huntsville Giants, last Sunday afternoon. Carter kept the seven hits he gave up so well scattered that the early lead established by his mates was never seriously menaced. He struck out seven visiting batsmen and permitted only one to hit for extra bases. That was achieved by Johnson, second baseman of the invading host. With the exception of his brother, Alton, all Carter's teammates connected for at least one hit, of the ten garnered. ROBINSON STAR IN ROYAL WIN Pointing to The Tribute Round-Robin Baseball Tournament, the Washington Royals in their final preparation for their opening clash, Sunday, scored a 4-2 victory over the Colesville Tigers, at Bailey's Park, last Sunday afternoon. Sinky Robinson, Royal ace recently acquired from the Huntsville Giants, hurled effectively, giving the Marylanders three hits, and striking out 1. Thirteen hits and almost faultless support, behind Robinson's pitching did the trick. Colesville found themselves to be no match for the contenders for the District title.

The Georgetown Athletics and the Aztecs are the contending teams, and 3 o'clock SHARP is the time set for the start. The Hillsdale A. C. and Anacostia Athletics, who clash at 1 o'clock, Sunday, and the Washington Royals, who meet Georgetown at 3:30 on the Sabbath are the remaining member teams. Having approved the plan of this department to have the city's five leading teams complete one circuit of the tourney teams and accept the member with the best percentage rating at the end of the round as champion, the managers of the clubs involved have gone into the business of pointing toward these games with a vigor. Each is seeking to take his four games without a loss, so that his right to the title will be undisputed. Season-long rivals will clash before the tournament reaches its close. Teams that have thrown challenges right and left in the hope of having one of the group take them up will be brought together under organization. Games to Begin at Oae o'clock Sharp That the followers of each team will be offered something worthwhile, several rules were adopted to assure entertainment and sportsmanship of the highest degree. The most important of these is the one involving the starting time. No games are to be delayed in starting. Umpire Ducky Kemp has instructions to forfeit a game to any team if that team has no opponent at the time set for the beginning of the contest. No so-called "grace-periods" (heretofore allowed for teams tardy in arriving at the field of play) will be tolerated. Games scheduled to begin at 1 o'clock will begin no later than 1 o'clock. Another of the rules sets forth that the contesting teams must play through the tournament with no additions to their present rosters.

Washington Tribune IN THE HISTORY BUY NOW STORES PARTICIPATING FURNITURE TIDBITS Speaking of furniture, over 50 per cent of the furniture used in Washington comes from North Carolina. We import a good deal from Wisconsin, too. It is interesting to note that the United States is 10 per cent to 15 per cent saturated with electrical refrigerators, whereas Washington is more than 25 per cent saturated. The above fact brings to mind that Washington is one of the nation's largest "quality" markets. Washingtonians are essentially quality conscious, whereas, say, Baltimore is a "price" town. Back to furniture: Speaking of Colonial Furniture, this style of furniture is merely a simplification of European furniture due to the ruggedness of North American life in the Colonial days.

Following the testimony, _ the jury, which included the Rev. F, I. ‘A. Bennett, held the wife, Miss Ruby Smith, alias Mrs, Ruby Scantling, for the action of the grand jury. The letter was not read, but with the consent of John H. Wilson, de- fending the alleged shooter, the contents of the missive were nar- rated by Detective B. F, Day, white, who investigated the case. Wife Opened Letter According to him, the letter was from a Mabel Dickson, of Palm Beach, Fla. and addressed to the dead man, ‘Miss Smith had opened the letter, after it was handed her on the previous day by a postman, Among other: things, Detective Day stated the female’ writer de- clared “she had received a letter from Scantling and was glad to hear from him. Sle told him about her brother being sick. “The letter also said,” the officer continued, “that Seantling had had a ring of the woman’s but had lost it, She asked him to send her some money for it, because she would not be able to ‘wear it on ac- count of her husband, even if she had it. . : Loved Husband, Too “Further on,” Detective Day stated, “she said that, she loved her husband and loved Scantling, too. She told Scantling if he would just have patience to wait for a while she would be his wife.” Further testimony by Detective Day dove-tailed with Miss Smith's ‘reputed statement which was read by Detective Sergeant John H. Wise, of the Homicide Squad, ‘The story ran that Miss Smith was en route to work, Friday morn- ing, when the postman handed her two letters, one for herself and one for her common-law husband. Miss Smith read her own immediately. On returning home that evening, she opened and read the one be- longing to Scantling. She hid the letter and did not say anything about it to him. Called Her Tight On the evening of the tragedy, Saturday, Scantling returned home and asked for the letter which he said the postman stated was ad- dressed to him. Miss Smith denied knowledge of the letter. * At this point, the statement de- clared, in part, that, Scantling said to Miss Smith, “You're tight, aren't you?” * “No, honey, I am not tight,” Miss Smith ‘is said to have Te- sponded, Makes Threat with Razor “Scantling said, ‘I am going to’ do something to you,” Miss Smith’s statement continued, “He grabbed a razor from a chest of. drewers, saying he was going to kill me. He kept asking me about the letter and I told him it was in the cellar. He grabbed me by the ‘arm, and I told him to let me get. some clothes on. When We got to the cellar door, I told him that it was not down there. I told him to’ put the razor down and I would get the letter. “He laid the razor down and T got him the letter. He laid it down beside the razor on the dresser, He said, ‘You will bother my mail, won't you? I’m going to kill you. I told you if you ever made me mad Yd kill you.” Turns on Death Music Scantling is then said to have locked the door to the room and walked over to the radio with the expression, “Before I kill you, L want some music.” As he turned from the radio, according to the statement, Miss’ Smith seized a 32 calibre revolver and shot him three times. : Police found a razor lying on & dresser in a bedroom in the middle cof the apartment, while the slain man was on the floor in the front part of the front room behind a davenport. ‘The statement declared that he had fallen behind the dav- enport when shot. ‘Thought Wife Killed Nathaniel J.

Ken- ney, editor of the Journal of the National Medical Association, took turns here Thursday night machine gunning the work of the Commis- sion on the Cost of Medical Care appointed by former President Her- bert Hoover. \ The Commission was composed of 48 members, worked five years and had nearly a million dollars at its disposal, Both men were heard in featured addresses before members and friends of the National Medical Association at a banquet held in the Hotel Sherman. Dr. Midian Rousfield, president-elect of the Association, was toastmaster. Dr, Fishbein painted a vivid word pictire of the changes in medical practice and costs during the past fifty years to show that increased mechanization and specialization has resulted in increased but often unnecessary cost to the sick. He scored the recommendation of the commission on Medical Costs for the creation of clinies for mass treatment and the regimentation of doctors, holding that it was in- consistent with the fundamental re- lation of intimacy between physi- cian and patient, Ignored Negroes In his turn, Dr, Kenney called at- tention to the fact that although Negroes constitute a tenth of the population numerically, no Negro served on the commission and the report of the commission specifi- cally stated that the contents were compiled without reference to the Negro. “Why did they not consider 12,000,000 of the most needy, the most dependent, the most neglect- ed citizens of this republic?” Dr. Kenney asked. “Why were 12,000,- 000 of this nation’s citizens’ not considered by this able commission co a fta-wawe Goth: of thaalel aad BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL es economic conditions with one mil-|our group who are not only luke- lion dollars at its disposal?” warm to, but oppose this great At another period in his address,| Provident Hospital program—the Dr. Kenney took issue with medical |biggest professional educational men who view with distrust the| movement ever launched in the in- development of so-called segregated| terest of the race, medical centers, supported by phi-] “If the late Julius Rosenwald, Janthrophy and public subseription.!and all other philanthropists who ‘He referred to Greater Provident} joined him, and all the colored peo- Hospital in Chicago, and to others} ple of this city who supported the ‘in the East and South. movement with their contributions; “Personally, I rejoice that I have|if the great Chicago University lived to see these great movements| with its teaching staff; if these under way,” Dr. Kenney announced.| brilliant young professional men of “I know that there are many of my! my group who have prepared them- group who differ with me in this|selves for service in this institu. matter.

Fairfax is pastor. GALBRAITH A.M.E. ZION CHURCH Charles H. Anderson spoke on the topic, "Worshipping God Out of Doors." Sunday. He said in part, "When we consider the heavens above, the sun, the moon, and the starry universe beyond, and the power, wisdom and intelligence displayed in connection with the globe on which we live diversified by its hills, valleys, mountains, rivers and seas, our hearts naturally go out in praise to the great God who created them. The trees, flowers, the beautiful landscapes that open with praise, awaken in us admiration for and a desire to praise our God. "There is so much to be gained in the open. The enjoyment of the shut-in is narrowed and circumscribed. The athlete loves to exercise in the open. The fresh air is healthful and invigorating. Not only does outdoor worship afford opportunity for physical tone and invigoration, but also, in many ways, opportunity for spiritual expansion."

Freeman, prominent in local fraternal circles, has returned from Pittsburgh, where he was chosen as imperial treasurer of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, in their 33rd annual session, last week, at that city. Mrs. Sallie M. Stockton was elected imperial first lieutenant commandress of the Imperial Grand Courts, Daughters of Isis. ACCUSED OF HURLING LYE: WOMAN IS FREED Accused of hurling about a quart of lye on her reputed lover during a quarrel, Nannie E. Skinner, of 650 Callam Street, Northeast, was acquitted by a jury before Judge I. R. Hitz, in Police Court, Wednesday morning. The defendant, accused of throwing the alkaloid on Herbert Smith, on August 16, was reprel cented by Attorney B. V. Lawson, Jr. National Association of Musicians Meets in Indianapolis INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.—ANP—"If music be the food of love, play on," so said Shakespeare, and so was the general sentiment at the 11th Annual Convention of the National Association of Negro Musicians, meeting at Crispus Attucks Auditorium, Indianapolis. The convention was welcomed to the city by Mayior Reginald Sullivan. The work of two prominent Negro composers was presented by the Indiana State Chorus, under the direction of Miss Josephine Foster: "Whispers of Summaq" by S. Coleridge-Taylor and "Walk Together, Children," by J. Rosamond Johnson. The student conference and program with Miss Sara Mae Clements, national student chairman, presiding, brought to those present an impressive vision as to what the younger musicians were doing. Of particular interest were the greeting from the two white women who represented two great musical bodies, Mrs. Harry Schumann, honorary president of the National Federation of Music Clubs, and Mrs. Frank B. Hunter, president of the Indiana Federation of Music Clubs. Mrs. Maud R. George of Chicago was elected to the presidency of the organization. FREED IN CUTTING SCRAPE Facing a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon, Florence Winters, of 48th Place, Northeast, was acquitted by Judge Givens, in Police Court, Wednesday morning. Miss Winters who was accused of slashing Clara Ashe in an argument about her common-law husband, Edward Winters, was represented by Attorney John H. Wilson. Oklahoma has a twenty-one-year-old member in its legislature. THIRTEEN One Dead, One Near Death, After Fight William Clore, 30, of the 1800 block of Eighteenth Street, Northwest, was fatally cut by Leonard Lewis, 28, of the 1700 block of Willard Street, Northwest, who was seriously stabbed, Tuesday night, in a fight near the latter's home. Clore died at Emergency Hospital, early Wednesday morning, from a slashed throat. Lewis is in a critical condition at the same hospital with a stab wound in the left side which possibly punctured the lung. Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Roan of 520 T Street, Northwest, had as their guests last week, Mrs. Pauline Head and Mrs. Eula Harris of Griffin, Ga.

The latest outburst came from Rienzi B. Lemus, who wrote among other things: "During the campaign, Mr. Vann created the impression that the election of Mr. Roosevelt to the Presidency would mean the uplift of 'the Negro' en bloc . . . That those who supported Mr. Roosevelt at the polls or with their mouths should look to Mr. Vann as head Sam Democrat, if and when they need succor as late Federal employees or wish to follow him to the trough, was not only the most natural thing in the world but palpably what he desired from the outset himself." *** William (State Department) Steen, who married the beautiful and talented Miss Louise Johns, made the first page of a Negro weekly last week with an intelligently written and highly interesting article on the N.R.A. * * * * Alvin (Coast Guard) Webb, who has changed his column from "Youth's Corner" to "Chats with Chick," introduced the Newhawk to John Harris, who has assumed the management of the Francis Swimming Pool since Charlie Drew resigned to take up his internship in a Canadian Hospital.

Among those having been posted in post office buildings are examinations for the following for navy yard service: blacksmiths, buffers and polishers, railroad conductors, coppersmiths, cranemen, electricians, electric platers, enginemen, firemen, drop forgers, foundation chippers, furnacemen, blacksmith helpers and instrument makers. Pay for these jobs range from $4.56 to $7.64 a day. Examinations for jobs as pattern makers, pipe-fitters, plasterers, riggers, sailmakers, sheet metal workers, welders, and tool makers have also been announced. * * * President Roosevelt has intimated that the vacancy in the post of United-States Minister to Liberia may be filled when he returns from his vacation. Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, one of the Democratic "Big Four" (who in 1928 was one of the Republican "Big Twenty-four") has sought the Liberian post. The Newswash will be as surprised as he if he gets it. Dr. William J. Thompkins, of Kansas City, Mo., also one of the Democratic Big Four, is interested in the governorship of the Virgin Islands, which pays $8,000 a year. One of his supporters was Arthur (State Department) Mullen (Professor Moley's assistant), but since Moley has been shifted to the Justice Department and it is problematic as to when he will return, his assistant's aid to Thompkins will be of little value despite the fact that Mullen's father was Mr. Roosevelt's campaign manager in the West. Although there is little doubt that Thompkins did work diligently during the campaign and has excellent support, the Newswash believes that administration leaders believe that $8,000 is too much for a Negro, and he predicts that a white man will get the job. Julian D. Rainey, of Boston, the third member of the Big Four, realizes like Professor G. David Houston, of Washington, that a tame bird in the hand is better than three wild ones in the bush. He is sticking to Mayor Curley, of Boston, and that $6,000 job he already has. Robert L. Vann, the fourth member of the Big Four, is a special assistant to the Attorney General at the Department of Justice with a salary of $5,600. Ralph (ex-Civil Service now New York Custom House) White writes down to tell me that he believes that the appointment of a collector of internal revenue for the third New York district to succeed Charles W. Anderson is being held up with other federal appointments in New York City until after the election of the city ticket. The principal Democrats who have sought this place, I am told, are Dr. Godfrey Nurse, a physician, who was an elector in the Presidential election, and James C. Thomas, a lawyer. The Newshawk has learned from more or less reliable and authentic sources that a white man recommended by Tammany Hall will get the position. Let us see if time will bear us out. * * * Robert (Interior Department) Bates, who hails from New Orleans, La., would have you know that New Orleans University (himala mater) is listed by the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, No. 11, as to enrollment.

In order to facilitate the cooperation of all the Negro organizations in the fight for recognition of Negroes under the National Recovery Administration, John P. Davis, executive secretary of the Negro Industrial League, and Dr. Robert C. Weaver, director of research of the organization, left the city last week to attend the Elks' Convention and the meeting of the Negro Business League. Mr. Davis went to the Elks' Convention at Indianapolis, where he will discuss the position of the Negro workers and business men under the President's program for recovery. Plans for the future cooperation of the Elks with the other fraternal and church bodies belonging to the Joint Committee of the National Recovery will be perfected at the convention. Dr. Weaver is at Durham at the meeting of the National Business League. He will discuss the general problems of the Negro under the National Recovery program, and the particular problems that face the Negro business man under the codes of fair competition. The program for joint action under the committee for this purpose will al- so be perfected at Durham. These activities of the executives of the Negro Industrial League are a part of the league's program for the maintenance of a united front in the fight for the Negroes' equal treatment in all phases of recovery. Already a joint committee of National Recovery has been established with its office at Washington. The committee will continue the fight for the Negro workers and business men initiated at the capital by the Negro Industrial League in July. Leaders in all phases of Negro life have expressed their conviction of the fact that it is imperative at this time for all Negro organizations to present a united front in this critical battle. It was out of such an attitude that the Committee on National Recovery grew. Will See Secretary of Labor Dr. George E. Haynes, of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ of America, chairman of the committee, has announced that there will be a meeting of the committee on National Recovery in Washington on the 30th of August, John P. Davis, secretary of the committee, has arranged for a conference with the Secretary of Lab- COP ADMITS HE DIRECTED HOLD-UP COP ADMITS HE DIRECTED HOLD-UP Changing his former plea of innocence to one of guilty, John F. Patton, white, suspended Tenth Precinct policeman, confessed, last week, to directing the holdup of a filling station at Sixteenth and Taylor Streets, several weeks ago. Patton was indicted with James Mason and William Wood for the hold-up. Both Mason and Wood pleaded guilty when recently arraigned and were remanded to jail. Patton at first plead not guilty, but changed his plea at the advice of his attorney. The cases of the three men are being investigated by the probation office pending their disposition. At the time of the hold-up, Patton was on duty and in uniform. He drove Mason and Wood from the scene of the crime to a Florida Avenue address, where the spoils were divided. or, Miss Perkins, on the first of September. Thus, one of the chief purposes of the meeting the last of this month is to form plans for this important conference with Miss Perkins. The department of research of the Negro Industrial League has already drawn up a preliminary statement of the problems of the Negro under the Recovery program. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1933 NEGRO DAY AT THE WORLD'S FAIR DREW 18,000 Pageant Not Well Staged but Creditable; Track Meet Best Feature CHICAGO-Eighteen thousand scattered people sat in Soldiers' Field Saturday night August 12 and witnessed the "Epic of a Race," a pageant depicting the struggle of the American Negro since the time of his enslavement to the present day. Although lacking somewhat in the staging fundamentals of production, the presentation brought to those sprinkled about the mammoth stadium, a general conception of the steps that have been taken by a race, oppressed and outcast from its outset, in gaining the place of recognition that it rightfully deserves. Beginning with the Negro as he appeared in Africa, and to the tuneful incidental singing of spirituals and chants by a mammoth chorus of trained voices, the drama followed him through his captivity by white slave traders who deported him 'o the new world, there to be shackled and bound to the white man's system of oppression and servitude. Emancipation Symbolized The next few scenes marked his ignorant yet earnest yearning for freedom which was expressed through his unfaltering belief in God, and which finally was realized, through the medium, of Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation, which was cleverly symbolized by the breaking of the huge chains which heretofore had encircled the massive stage. Freedom from the bonds of slavery only marked the beginning of a greater fight, that for recognition in the aesthetic world, and which was punctuated by attempts at intimidation by the Ku Klux Klan and similar outlaw bodies. The trained voice of the Negro, George Garner, symbolized partial victory and an accomplishment in art unparalleled by any other race in history. Rather significant was the culminating scenes of night club life which featured the composition of Duke Ellington's "Sophisticated Lady," showing another field in which the black man has gained wide recognition and fame. Noted Athletes Perform Probably the best feature of the day was the track meet in the afternoon at Soldiers' Field which was attended by a crowd of 4,000 people, and was graced by the performances of Johnny Brooks, national intercollegiate broad-jump champion; Jimmy Johnson, national junior A.A.U. hundred-meter champion; Eddie Gordon, Olympic broad-jump champion; Eugene Beatty, Penn Relay 400-meter-hurdle champion, and DeHart Hubbard, former world's record holder and Olympic championship broad-jumper. Chandler Owen, executive director of the affair, deplored opposition to the event directed by Congressman Oscar DePriest, who through paid newspaper space and hand bills distributed through the South Side attacked the affair urging people not to attend. The affair was not a financial success; 100,000 people had been expected. Curtis Family Saved After Beach Flood Dr. and Mrs. A. M. Curtis and members of the family, narrowly escaped being victims of the storm, Wednesday night, en route to Washington from their cottage at Arundel-on-the-Bay. After a harrowing all-night experience, the party, which also included Dr. and Mrs. Maurice Curtis and daughter, reache' Washington, early Thursday morning. They left their beach home before 7 p.m., Wednesday, after a tree fell upon its roof. Forced to take a round-about route in order to get home, the Curtises were marooned about 3 miles from Laurel on the Baltimore Pike, when Dr. Curtis's Pierce-Arrow stalled in the flood. Relief squads from Hyattville and Laurel succeede' in rescuing the party from the surging flood which swept around the car. Relating her experience to a representative of the Tribune, Mrs. Curtis told of seeing four white persons in an auto not far distant from them being trapped and drowned. She also described the rescue of a colored woman and four children. Wife Has Razor; Hubby Calls Cop Mrs. Rufus Linden, of Alexandria, carried a razor "just so," according to a story she related to Judge Ralph Given in the District Police Court, Monday morning. However, her husband, of Delaware Avenue and G Street, didn't believe she was carrying the weapon on just so and called police. Mrs. Linden told the court her husband had deserted her and she learned that he was living with another woman. She went to visit him last week and carried the razor "just because."

When he went out she drew a razor and threatened to "straighten him out." Linden ran into the house and got a friend to call the law. The razor was found concealed in the woman's bosom. Linden said he tried to live with his wife and children, but found it impossible as she constantly made trouble for him. The judge referred the case of the Lindens to the probation officer who will make an effort to get both "straightened out." Physicians in Convention Question N.A.A.C.P. Action in Harlem Fracas CHICAGO (ANP)—Dissatisfaction over the entry of outside organizations into professional matters affecting Negro physicians was one of the undercurrents noticeable at the National Medical Convention held here last week. Numerous speakers referred to the Harlem Hospital investigation which was conducted by a civil organization, interest in it being keen because the hospital is recognized as the leading municipally owned institution where Negroes are given any sort of professional opportunity on a basis of equality with white physicians. Dr. M. O. Bousfield, president-elect of the convention, made what might be regarded as a typical comment in his address when he said: "There has been no more spectacular fight than that waged in New York City around Harlem Hospital and the establishment of a so-called Negro hospital in New York City. Negroes have become rather expert inthe matter of race relationships and those who for practical purposes, have not learned to compromise with what they think should obtain, are few and far between, and are likely to be suspected of having ulterior motives of personal selfishness. Explains Difference in Hospital Advantages "It is one thing to state flatly what ought to be and quite another to state what can be. In so far as hospitals are concerned, I am forced to the opinion that in those places where men have compromised and accepted some form of mixed, or even completely Negro staffing of a satisfactory grade A hospital, they and the community are in a better position than where the colored doctors are standing out and waiting for openings in white hospitals. "I believe it to be the consensus of this body that we do not want an entirely all-Negro set-up in our hospitals. Also, we must continue to call attention to the need of postgraduate training sufficient for the whole Negro profession. "If the colored doctors of this country have decided, after years FIFTEEN of disappointment and chagrin, that this is the best solution of this problem then they have a perfectly logical reason for resenting the less informed meddling of the N.A.A.C.P. in our affairs. "Here is a lay organization, which does not choose to request a single member of the National Medical Association, or the National Hospital Association to serve on a committee of investigation of Harlem Hospital, but instead places thereon, eminent white physicians most of whom know nothing whatsoever of the problems of the Negro doctor. It seems that the only issue here is just how strongly we should condemn this practice." Columbia Temple News The Marching Club of Columbia Temple, Daughter Elks, held its meeting on August 16 instead of the 9, as they were invited to parade with the American Legion on that evening, after which all were off for the convention.

In fact, none of the boys ever studied music. John Furnas plays the guitar and has the big base voice. The trio got together in May of 1952. Before then, Funnel was doing solo work on Station WCAU, Philadetphia, while the other two boys were working in cabarets and getting on the air occasionally. Another boy was singing with the trio, but for some cause he did not fit in and Funnell happened to bo handy and took the part, Music is Success ‘The combination was an imme- diate suscess. Their music and singing gained recognition. Last September they exashed the big time and were put on the National Broadcasting Company's nation- wide network.
