PICKETING CLOSES EATING HOUSE NATIONAL BENEFIT TO BE DISSOLVED Word "Nigger" Gets Huey Long a Sock in the Eye Public Warned of New Racket Practiced by Former Lawyer Disbarred Attorney Alleged to Represent Himself as Member of "Rent Commission" in Fleecing Persons in Landlord-Tenant Cases A Hometown Paper of, by, and for Washingtonians Vol. XIII, No. 18 NATIC Word " SENATOR IS PUNCHED BY MUSICIAN Louisiana Kingfish Beaten for Insulting Orchestra at Exclusive Club NEW YORK—The question "Who hit Senator Long?" which has irritated the daily press since Sunday, has been solved, according to the Amsterdam News. A Harlem colored musician who resented being called "nigger" by Senator Huey P. Long, of Louisiana, sacked the southern "Kingfish" in the eye during a fight in the washroom of an exclusive Long Island club Saturday night. The white senator ran from the washroom and refused to tell who hit him or why. He tried to give the impression that he was attacked by gangsters and had been warned to stay away from New York. Objected to Long Dallas Turner, the musician at the swanky Sands Point Bath Club, objected to Long meddling with the musician. Dallas said the man was obnoxious and is alleged to have approached the orchestra with the remark: "Why don't you stop trying to play white folks' music? You ought to play good nigger music." The orchestra members resented this. The senator continued his harangue. Turner left the orchestra to go to the lavatory. Long followed. Then in the presence of several members of the club, Turner turned and sent his right foot to the eye of the Louisiana dictator. "Kingfish" Runs Kingham Kins The "Kingfish," his face bruised and bloody, turned crawfish and sneaked out of the clubhouse without returning to his table, where with Edward P. Mulrooney, state beer commissioner, he was the guest of Gene Buck of the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers. The senator left immediately for (Continued on page 8) Sentenced for Accepting Numbers Bets From Blind Oscar J. Turner, 33, accused of accepting numbers bets from inmates of a home for the blind, pleaded guilty in the District Police Court, Friday, and Judge Ralph Given sentenced the man to 60 days in jail. Turner's arrest followed investigation of complaints received by Lieut. N. O. Holmes that he made frequent visits to the home. Public Warned of Practiced by For Disbarred Attorney Alleged to Member of "Rent Commis Persons in Landlord-T Judge Nathan Cayton, of the Municipal Court, was told last week of the activities of a disbarred lawyer who is attempting to fleece unsuspecting persons out of money in landlord and tenant cases. The name of the lawyer was withheld. However, it was pointed out that the man was recently caught going through papers in the municipal court and selecting the names and addresses of persons who are about to be dispossessed. The man's racket is to approach such persons and represent himself being a member of the "rent commission." His racket is to tell a perspective victim that he can be the commission to extend Washington Tribune Damage by Storm to Reach into Thousands in Suburban Sections THE CONGRESSIONAL LIBRARY, FIRST ST., S.

J. Cooper, of No. 2 Precinct, when the officer claimed Webster grabbed at his collar. Webster appeared in Police Court Monday morning with a bandaged head caused by the blows from the policeman's club. Following his arrest Webster was charged with disorderly conduct and assaulting an officer. Judge Ralph Given took Webster's personal bond on both charges. According to testimony Webster claimed he was asleep in his home Sunday and was awakened when Cooper kicked him on the leg. He also stated that he has been under a physician's care for several months and was unable to attack the policeman. After the beating he was taken to Freedmen's Hospital, where it required several stitches to close the wound in his head. He was represented by Attorney Armond Scott. The policeman claimed he heard an unusual amount of noise while passing the house, and on entering he was attacked by Webster. Maid Risks Life to Drag White Girl From Flames ANNAPOLIS, Md.—At the risk of her own life, Miss Lucia Phillips, a maid, saved the life of Jane Martin, 12-year-old daughter of Dr. J. Willis Martin, white, Monday, when the Martin summer home on Horn Point was destroyed by fire. The maid dragged the child from the flaming house just before the roof fell. Other buildings on the site were destroyed by the recent storm. Dr. Martin and his wife were not at home at the time of the fire. PLUMBER MASHES FINGER R. R.

Judge Cayton refused to take any action in the case as the woman involved stated that she refused to give him any money. A prominent local member of the bar stated to a reporter for The Tribune this week that he had been advised that the man had tried to secure a sum of money from a client after representing himself as a member of the non-existent commission. Highland Beach Isolated by Terrific Rain and Wind Wednesday MOTHER, CHILDREN SAVED FROM RIVER Thirty-Two Escape When Bay Shore Hotel is Swept Away The terrific rain and wind storm of last Wednesday played havoc with lives and property in outlying sections of the District and nearby Maryland and Virginia. The amount of property damage has not been ascertained but it is expected to run into the thousands of dollars. Residents of Highland Beach, exclusive summer resort, were isolated Wednesday and part of Thursday. The first floor of the cottage of Dr. John Leake was flooded with water. The home of Joseph Douglass was also damaged when water flooded the first floor. Community Isolated Highland Beach citizens were unable to communicate with the outside world when telephone and other connections were completely disabled. The waters of Black Walnut and Oyster creeks met and prevented persons from leaving the resort. It was late Thursday before the most brave could reach Annapolis and establish contact with the outside. The town was in complete darkness Wednesday night when the storm caused a defect in the lighting system and plunged the place in darkness. Freak pranks of the wind and rain brought tons of sand upon the beach and smashed boats and canoes. Firemen Heroes The North Brentwood fire department worked steadily during the storm and many of the members of the department played the parts of heroes in rescuing people and animals. The Northwest Branch was swollen 20 feet and firemen commanded by Chief J. R. Burton worked until 4:30 a.m. on Thursday doing rescue work. Many residents who were unable to remain in their homes were sent to the A.M.E. Zion Church where they were cared for while their houses were pumped free of water. Others stayed in the homes of the more fortunate whose places escaped the flood. Three Escaped Death Mrs. Mamie McGinnis, of Croom, Md. and her two children, Mary, 7, and Frank, 10, nearly lost their lives Thursday evening when their car plunged into the swollen Patapseco River from a washed out bridge at Savage, Md. They were rescued from the machine by a passing motorist who heard their cries and drove them to the home of Mrs. McGinnis's sister, Mrs. Gladys Anderson, of Elkridge where they were en route when the accident occurred. The name of the person who rescued Mrs. McGinnis and her two children was learned through the number of the license tags on his car by the small boy. On investigation it was disclosed that he was the Rev. Thomas E. Berry, A.M.E. minister of Washington. Hotel Swept Away Guests at the Bay Shore Hotel WASHINGTON, D.C., THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1933 Don't Miss "STARDUST" Fast-Moving, Romantic New Serial of Love and Adventure By EDWARD LAWSON Which Will Run Exclusively in The Tribune BEGINNING NEXT WEEK Order Your Copy Now 2 ALLEGED SLAYERS HELD Witness at Morgue Tells of Hearing Knife Grinding Bone Though accustomed to stories of violence, attaches of the morgue and the police were visibly affected, along with the spectators, by the vivid recitals of the fatal slashing of two men, which resulted in the two alleged killers being held for the grand jury by the coroner's jury, Monday. Relatives of the principals, friends, and just plain curiosity seekers swarmed around the front door and windows of the morgue as the proceedings were in progress. Police attempting to hold the crowds in check were kept busy. The most dramatic testimony given in the two cases was that given by Mrs. Josie Hunter, of 1749 T Street, Northwest, during the investigation of the slaying of William Clore, for whose death Leonard Lewis, of the 1700 block of Willard Street, Northwest, was held Clore received wounds which caused his death, in front of 1780 Willard Street, near midnight, on Tuesday of last week. Mrs. Hunter testified that she was on the way to her work at the Navy Yard, going towards U Street on Eighteenth Street, when she heard three men arguing. Stamped and Kicked "One man (Clore) had his back toward me. I saw Leonard Lewis strike him." Mrs. Hunter stated, "knocking him down. After Clore hit the ground, Lewis stamped him and kicked him. I begged him to please not do that. He paid me no attention. The other man also interceded for the man on the ground. "He chased the interceder a distance, then came back to the man who was still lying on the ground. I thought the man was dead. As Lewis appeared, he seemed to be stabbing and cutting himself." (Clore was treated on the night of the fatality at Emergency Hospital for knife wounds of the left side and chest.) It had been brought out in previous testimony that the third man (Continued on page 2) DR. JOSEPH JOHNSON IS NOT CANDIDATE FOR LIBERIAN MISSION The statement last week in the Federal News column to the effect that Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, "has sought the Liberian post" is denied by Dr. Johnson, who showed a representative of The Tribune documents which prove that he has been offered the post but felt obliged to decline the honor. Dr. Johnson was minister to Liberia during the Wilson administration. BOYCOTT FORCES HAMBURGER GRILL TO REHIRE THREE Dismissed Youths Who Were Replaced by Whites Get Back Their Jobs A buy-where-you-can-work campaign which got under way on U Street early Monday morning got results Tuesday when three colored youths who were fired and replaced by whites at the Humburger Grill, 1211 U Street, were given their old positions, Tuesday evening. When word was passed around that the three colored employees who have been working at the grill since it was opened last year were dismissed, a picket was established in front of the building and prospective customers were told of the change. Force Store to Close Members of the New Negro Alliance, a newly formed organization, designed to protect Negro workers under the NRA held a meeting Monday night and flayed the grill management. The demonstration started at 7 a.m., Monday, and continued until noon Tuesday, when the store closed for lack of patronage. Tuesday afternoon, William Flintjer, white, manager of the grill, called the old colored employees and told them they could have their jobs back. The boys went to work Tuesday afternoon and did a rushing business while being congratulated by friends. Called Slackers When the colored workers were replaced by whites, Flintjer told a reporter for The Tribune that the change was made to boost business as the colored help was "not on the job." He also stated that the colored youths were not business getters. The dismissed employees were Alfonsa Bradley, Joseph Dacons and James McAthur. The latter two are Howard University students. They claimed that when they were dismissed they were told the business had been sold. Investigation disclosed that this was not true. It later developed that the business had been placed under the code for restaurants and the salary of all employees had been raised to the minimum. The colored employees had been working 12 hours a day. Under the NRA code they will get more money and work eight hours. The three youths said that they will insist that they be relieved by colored under the code. Franklin Thorne, deputy administrator of the Negro Alliance, stated to The Tribune that one of the purposes of the organization was to secure employment for Negroes where they buy and that they expected to extend the picket plan to other white businesses in exclusively Negro sections. National Benefit Life Ordered Dissolved by Decree of Court Liquidation Sought by Receivers Negro Press Blamed for Lapsing of 25,000 Policies COURT ASKED TO STOP PAYMENTS No Hope of Reorganizing Company, Petition Declares Complaining of adverse publicity in the Negro press and the dwindling of premium receipts, receivers for the National Benefit Life Insurance Company threw cold water on efforts to form a new organization when they petitioned the District Supreme Court to liquidate assets of the company, Tuesday, just prior to a hearing on the merits of the plan for rehabilitation offered by J. Finley Wilson, intervener. Summarizing, the receivers, Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr., made the four following prayers to the court: 1. to discontinue the collection of premiums; 2. to discontinue payments under all policies of insurance; 3. to liquidate all assets of the defendant corporation (National Benefit); 4. to make payment to policyholders and other claimants as may be hereafter ordered by the court. The petition, which was presented to Justice Daniel O'Donghue in the District Supreme Court, was taken under consideration by him, along with other phases of the confusing litigation. 25.000 Policies Lapse The receivers asserted in their petition they had done everything to carry on the business of the National Benefit under modified agreements with more than 60,000 policyholders. They contend that as a result of factional disputes and adverse publicity, approximately 25,000 of the policies originally modified have lapsed. Messrs. Bryan and Clark set out the following allegations in part: "In the period of this receivership no offer has been made to these receivers and no proposal has been submitted which furnished any basis on which the receivers could make any recommendation to this court for issuance of order transferring the going insurance business or any part thereof to any new or existing company." The receivers state further that upon failure to receive offers looking towards the rehabilitation or reorganization of the business with which they might co-operate, they filed a petition with the court requesting that they be allowed to act as trustees, "without compensation." The trusteeship was to be for the purpose of receiving funds subscribed by policyholders to be used for the operation of a mutual company. "Upon opposition to this proposal," the petition states, "the receivers withdrew their petition to act as trustees." The receivers also related that (Continued on page 11) Wilson Plan Argued in Court Attorney for the Receivers Says Mutualization Impractical APPEAL MADE TO SAVE COMPANY Judge Reminded of Formerly Expressed Intentions BULLETIN Final disposition of the National Benefit case was made on Thursday morning, when Justice Dan'l O'Donoghue signed a decree ordering the company's dissolution and the liquidation of all assets. Allegations that the receivership of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company had been badly conducted, that the receivers had been dilatory in everything except collecting their fees, and that they had opposed every effort of interested persons to rehabilitate the company, were made by Samuel Boyd, white, in arguing the merits of J. Finley Wilson's mutualization plan, before Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue, in the District Supreme Court, Tuesday afternoon. Counter allegations that the plan was impractical and that at no period of the receivership no offer or proposal had been submitted which furnished any basis upon which the receivers could make a recommendation to the court, were made by Matthew O'Brien, white, attorney for the receivers. Referring to a petition offered by the receivers at the hearing, which asked permission to liquidate the company, Mr. Boyd made an impassioned plea to the court to save the company for the benefit of the colored group. (A story on the petition is carried in another column.) Mr. Boyd read Justice O'Donoghue's statements made at the (Continued on page 11) Rev.

Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church and dean of ministers, to Mrs. Viola Whipps Washington, member of the church since childhood, took place Wednesday night at 8 o'clock at the home of the bride, 1136 Eighteenth Street, Northwest. The Rev. George A. Parker, assistant pastor at the church, performed the ceremony. The arrangements for the wedding were particularly charming with a profusion of fresh cut flowers banked with palms. The mantels were banked with ferns while the house was decorated throughout with summer flowers. The bride was exquisitely gown- BULLETIN NRA MEMORI U.S. WE DO OUR PART LVED the Eye WELL KNOWN P.O. CLERK IS UNDER PROBE Prominent Woman Charged by Postal Inspectors With Opening Letter Society circles were shocked Thursday, when Mrs. Pearl Louise Gray, of 1517 P Street, Northwest, wife of Dr. Hugh Gray and an employee at the main post office, was charged with taking money from a letter. Mrs. Gray was released under $500 bond, following complaint of Postal Inspectors L. A. Waxed and G. T. Bleakley, both white. She will be given a hearing before United States Commissioner Nezdham C. Turnage, Friday. Bond was furnished by J. Walter Stewart. The complaint presented to Commissioner Turnage states that Mrs. Gray unlawfully opened a letter and took $4. from the letter. Mrs. Gray has been a selector in the division of dead letters for the past eight years, and has been employed at the post office approximately a score of years. The accused woman has retained Levi David, white, to defend her. The attorney told a representative of The Tribune that the charge against Mrs. Gray is unjust and untrue and that a vigorous defense will be offered. Bay Shore Hotel Wrecked by Storm HAMPTON, Va. — During the storm last Wednesday the Bay Shore Hotel, at Buckroe Beach, on the Chesapeake Bay, near here, was wrecked by the wind and high water. Thirty or more guests of the hotel were rescued in boats and trucks by U. S. soldiers from Fort Monroe. The dance pavilion was unroofed and half was swept away; the main building with accommodations for fifty guests was entirely wrecked, but the three-year-old annex withstood the storm.

DRIVE IS STARTED BY 1,000 WORKERS HERE Plan to Place Blue Eagle in Every Home in the District With the battle cry, "We do our part!" a thousand workers under the leadership of Major George W. Beasley, comprising the colored division of the NRA in Washington, launched an intensive drive on 19 fronts this week. Enthusiasm ran high Sunday at the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A., as captains reported for instructions and supplies, bearing evidence of a determination to put the Blue Eagle in every home and every employer under a code. Bureau Set Up An information bureau was set up by Lt. David E. Wells at the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Twelve young women will serve in shifts from ? a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Employers desiring information on code requirements are urged to call the bureau or phone Major Raymond J. Walter, District 3535 at the office of the Washington Board of Trade. Lt. Herndon B. Jones is completing a list of speakers to cover every church in Washington. Lt. Rufus G. Byars will cover the theatres and other places of amusement. Lt. Leon W. Wondol plans to put speakers on the air. No Jim Crow Being assured by the office of Major General Amos A. Fries that entrants were accepted for the parade, and that no discrimination in the matter of position in the line of march would be encountered, the Division voted the matter of participation in the parade as being otherwise covered. Seven thousand NRA pledge cards were distributed among captains and lieutenants of the Division Friday night at a meeting held at the Twelfth Street Y M.C.A. So eager were the workers to begin their house to house canvas without further delay that it was deemed advisable to distribute the pledge cards immediately rather than wait for the new supply of Blue Eagle lables. Captains and lieutenants have been appointed and assigned to districts that conform primarily to the areas of the 19 civic associations. Major Beasley is president of the federation of these civic groups. VIRGIN ISLANDS TURN AGAIN TO THE RUM TRADE VIRGIN ISLANDS TURN AGAIN TO THE RUM TRADE ST. THOMAS, V.I. (CNS)—Contemplating the repeal of the 18th Amendment in a few months, the Haytian-American Sugar Co., of Port au Price, Haiti, is negotiating for the purchase of the Bethlehem sugar factories at St. Croix, with a view to producing sugar, rum and bay rum. Restoration of the Virgin Islands to their once-famous position as the source of excellent rum and bay rum appeared to bear a hope soon to be realized.

Wright Notes Discrepancies in Bride's Report on Cemetery Shows That Corporation Counsel's Account of Affairs at Woodlawn Cemetery to Chairman King Failed to Mention Many Undesirable Conditions Ancient United Knights, Daughters of Africa Split at Chicago By A. MANTEL CAFTER Supplementing his recent appeals for the betterment of Woodlawn Cemetery, James C. Wright, 514 T Street, Northwest, who for the past two years has waged a relentless fight for remedial relief at this burial ground, early this week, filed with Senator William H. King, chairman of the Senate District Committee, a letter showing several discrepancies in a report of the condition at the cemetery made by William W. Bride, District corporation counsel, to Chairman King last week. Besides the alleged discrepancies in the corporation counsel's report, Mr. Wright points out several undesirable conditions at the cemetery which the report failed to mention, and also offers additional evidence in support of the cause under consideration in the form letters of correspondence between himself and Benjamin H. Meeds. Mr. Meeds is one of the alleged owners of the cemetery. Failed to Menton Safe Mr. Wright said: "It seems strange that the corporation counsel's report should remain silent respecting the old iron safe laying outside the cemetery entrance for the last year or two, the crude and inconvenient aisles, antiquated receiving vault, the primitive and unsanitary toilet, unprovided running water, and sorely dilapidated shed stable with dump surroundings. "The corporation counsel reports that the Woodlawn Cemetery was incorporated in the District of Columbia on January 7, 1895; the five original incorporators appear to be dead; there has been only one meeting of the stockholders, namely, the first meeting at which the five incorporators were elected officers and directors; and Mr. Meeds in 1922 appointed Henry Scott secretary and treasurer. Whereens on June 13, 1933, Dr. W. C. Fowler, the District health officer, advised me that the cemetery in question 'is owned by the Woodlawn Cemetery Association of the District of Columbia, and our records show that a Henry Scott is the superintendent.'" Members from Four States Claim to Have Withdrawn to Reorganize in Ohio CHICAGO, Ill.—A large group of members representing the entire delegation of Ohio, and parts of delegations from Indiana, Missouri, Illinois and Kentucky, declaring that gross mismanagement and the high handed methods of Ernest Patillo, national grand master of the Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa, deprived the lodge members of their constitutional rights, bolted the convention held here recently and announced the calling of a meeting for formation of a new organization September 3 and 4, at Columbus, Ohio. Trouble arose at the convention, to which the police had to be called to restore order, when Mr Patillo refused to put a motion or an amended motion before the house that sought to have the name of John A. Green included as a candidate for the office of president. Charges Made Against Patillo Mr. Patillo, it was charged, completely ignored charges by Rev. David Venerable, forme: national deputy, that such proceedings were unparliamentary. The convention was thrown into complete darkness, the dissenters claim, by the Patillo forces to prevent opposition to his continuance in office. It is said that the state grand queen of Ohio, Mrs. Leona C. Taylor, of Cincinnati, called together more than one hundred officers and members of the Order in regular session held in Columbus, Ohio, last September and at that meeting Mrs. Taylor made some statements concerning the financial condition of the order, stating that the entire organization would be out of existence in 60 or 30 days at least and that the members would all be in tears. Though $19,000 was paid into the national treasury, last year, death claims still remain unpaid, those bolting the convention insist. Mismanagement by the Patilo group, they claim, is responsible for the insolvency of the order, at one time rated one of the strongest in the country. Paris Fetes Sultan of Morocco as Army Wars on His People PARIS. While a French army of 25,000 is battering away at six tribes of Berbers in the Atlas mountains, Sidi Mahmoud puppet sultan of Morocco, is being dined and wined in Paris. The French army was reported closing in on the anti-imperialist Berber who immensely cut numbered by an army with all modern equipment, have been fighting heroically for their freedom. Breaks Law Mr. Wright charges that the foregoing records indicate that Woodlawn Cemetery is not operating according to the District Code of Laws which provides that "the officers of any such corporation shall be a president, a treasurer (who shall act as a secretary), and not less than three directors, who shall be severally chosen annually." He also claims that there appears to be no good reason why official District records should fail to agree respecting the status of Mr. Scott. He further points out that Mr. Meeds, who the corporation counsel's report revealed owns 175,000 sites at the cemetery, has an interest in the burial grounds that approaches $5,250,000 and consequently should be amenable to the constituted District authority. He says, "at the average cost of $20 per site, the 175,000 sites owned by Mr. Meeds would net him the astounding sum of $3,500,000. The cost of opening a grave i. $10; and to open 175,000 graves would cost $1,750,000, thus making his interest approach the large sum." Lot Owners Denied Vote Corporation Counsel Bride reported that "the existing situation at the cemetery appears to be the result of the failure of the lot owners for approximately 38 years to exercise their right to participate in the management of the corporation as provided by the District Code." After investigation, Mr. Wright writes that this condition is so because a lot at the cemetery contains 32 graves and only two owners are known. They are the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, which owns two lots, and an unnamed woman in Virginia. They have never voted. He also states that it is the method at the cemetery to sell only 31 graves to one purchaser, and to donate the thirty-second one. In concluding, Mr. Wright charges that "patrons having loved ones buried in Woodlawn Cemetery are loath to believe that said cemetery has developed into a packet." Patillo, Grand Master, Gets Rid of Disgruntled Crowd Who Opposed Him ST. LOUIS, Mo. (ANP)—Brittleness of feeling, coupled with a silent campaign for three years, to d'rupt the affairs of the National Grand Council Ancient United Knights and Daughters of Africa, were uncovered following the closing of the 26th annual session of the organization in Chicago, last week. Going straight to the root of the trouble in the order, immediately after his re-election, which was for the fourth consecutive term, Grand Master Ernest Patillo proceeded to get rid of the disgruntled members. Godfrey Nicholson, of this city, was suspended from the order for ninety-nine years. It is said he was the ringleader of a faction composed of ten persons who consistently conspired against the Grand Master. The stormy session that characterized the first day's meeting in Chicago last week was the culmination of a seed of discord sown in the Ohio jurisdiction more than a year ago, according to Grand Master Patillo. It is said that John A Shackelford, of St. Louis, former major general of the uniform department, was in the movement to split the organization-Shackelford was relieved of official duties as major general of the uniform department following the convention held in Louisville, Ky., August, 1932, and Nicholas Young, of St. Louis, has been appointed to succeed him. "There is no split in the organization or any spirit of rebellion as was reported," said Mr. Patillo, who was unanimously re-elected grand master. When Patillo took office three years ago he said the finances were so low that there was not enough money to pay one death claim. The report of the national grand secretary-treasurer, Mrs. Ozella H. Porterfield, last week in Chicago showed more than $12,000 paid for death claims last year. WOOD CHOPPER CUTS FOOT; WOMAN'S BONE DISLOCATED Charles Warren, 29, of Ironside, Md., who accidentally struck his left foot while chopping wood, Friday, was detained at Freedmen's Hospital for further observation. Miss Allie Garner, 18, of McConchie, Md., who fell from a wagon at her home was carried to Freedmen's in an ambulance and admitted to a ward suffering a possible fracture of the right leg, just week. Good cheer is no hindrance to a good life. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. AUGUST 31. 1933 RURAL TEACHERS MAY OBTAIN ASSISTANCE Federal Aid Provided to Help in Re-opening Closed Schools NEW YORK.-The National Urban League is asking leaders among Negroes in all sections of the country to read the following authorization sent to governors and state emergency relief administrators by Harry L. Hopkins, administrator of the Federal Emergency Relief Administration. This ruling, if applied to Negro teachers and schools, will enable many of those closed for lack of funds to be opened. The ruling is as follows: To the Governors and State Emergency Relief Administrators: Your relief commission is authorized to use Federal relief funds now available or to be made available by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to pay work relief wages to needy unemployed teachers or other persons competent to teach and assign them to class rooms up through the eighth grade, provided; first, that these teachers are assigned by the relief offices to appropriate educational authorities who will have entire supervision over their activities; secondly, provided that they are assigned only to those schools which prior to this date have been ordered closed or partially closed for the coming school year because of lack of funds; third, this applies only to rural counties. State Relief Administrations are also authorized and urged to pay from above funds relief work wages to needy unemployed persons competent to teach adults unable to read and write English. This applies to cities as well as rural counties. Under no circumstances should relief funds be used to relieve counties of their proper responsibility for education, nor should these activities permit the substitution of relief teachers for regularly employed teachers. (Signed) HARRY L. HOPKINS TWO ALLEGED SLAYERS (Continued from page 1) was named "Campbell," and was an uncle of Clore. "Knife Grinds Bone" "He kneeled over the man," Mrs. Hunter proceeded, "and began cutting him. Oh, I could hear the knife grind into the flesh and bone. I began to holler, 'Murder! Police!'" The witness stated that after Lewi brutally slashed the man, he arose and asked for an ambulance. She told him to get a taxi, which he did. Sam Schwartz, white, a nearby storekeeper, told the jury he heard the argument, which awakened him from his sleep. He arose from his bed and looked out the window. Swartz testified he saw one of the men knocked to the street. The two others disappeared then, he said. As soon as Schwartz saw one of the men re-appear, he stated, he started to don his trousers to go down from his bedroom to the street. While he was in this act the slashing took place, the storekeeper said. He could not identify any of the men. Other testimony by Bum Kelley, of 1780 Willard Street, and Johnny McIntosh, of the same address, stated that Campbell, Clore and Lewis had been at their residence playing whist. An argument started and they were ordered out. Claims Men "Jumped Him" Claims Men Jumped Him Sergeant J. C. Dalglish, of the Homicide Squad, read a reputed statement made by Lewis at the hospital, shortly after the fatality. According to the paper, Lewis claimed that as he left Kelley's house, some one struck him in the head, and two men jumped him. He remembered having a knife, but did not recall having cut anybody, the statement added. No weapons were found on either Lewis or Clore, police declared. Clore was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he died, in an ambulance summoned by officers of the Third Precinct, after he was found sprwled in the gutter. Lewis was driven to the hospital in a taxicab operated by Robert Wood, of 1611 Rhode Island Avenue, Northwest. "Chopped" With Knife The autopsy by Dr. C. J. Murphy, assistant to Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, revealed that Clore's face had been literally "chopped" with a knife. The following gashes were enumerated; one on the left side of the face running through the ear into the back of the scalp, 8½ inches long; wound from the left nostril running upward, 1½ inches long; wound below the opening of the left ear, beginning at the angle of the mouth and ending at the back of the scalp, 9 inches long; wound at the angle of the mouth, 1½ inches long; wound below the ear, 5½ inches long. Thirty stitches were required to close the numerous cuts, according to Dr. Murphy. He also described a bruise on the head, attributed to a fall, also other body bruises, doubtless caused by the stampling WLW THE CHARIOTEERS. the male quartet which has won its the past four months through their organized two years ago at Wilber in the musical department of the welded them into a singing organiza last year and immediately the age Their first engagement at WLW w a regular feature of the station 9 a.m., except Sunday, with the F while on Sunday, they appear in the 9:45 p.m., and on Wednesdays in 9 p.m. The Chariteeers boast the business with five college degrees, music from Northwestern Universi from Wittenberg.

White Georgian Appointed as Economic Adviser on Negroes To Look After Interests of Colored People in the National Recovery Movement; Colored Conferences Advised Selection of White Man Unauthorized use of an automobile caused the death of Alcec Holmes, 32, of 415 L Street, Southeast, from a stab wound in the abdomen by Thomas Marshall, 26, of 26 G Street, Southwest, testimony in the second hearing before the coroner developed. Holmes was stabbed, Thursday night, dying later at Emergency Hospital. According to information given to the coroner, Phillip Sharp, 707 O Street, rear, Southwest, and Ralph Hinson, of the 400 block of M Street, Southwest, driven by Holmes, went off in Marshall's car, which he had parked on entering a house. When they returned about one-half hour later, Marshall reprimanded Holmes for driving off without his permission. In his alleged statement, Marshall declared he stabbed Holmes when the latter stuck his hand in his pocket. Witnesses differed on this point, with the weight going against Marshall. Ruby Honderson, of the 400 block of Hunton Place, at whose house Marshall was visiting when his car was taken, stated she heard the motor of Marshall's automobile being started and yelled at the men to leave the machine alone. She stated further, "When Holmes came back Marshall asked him why he took the car without his permission. Holmes started his hand towards his (Holmes's) pocket. He appeared to be angry, and Marshall hit at him twice." Conflicting Testimonies Phillip Sharp, 707 O Street, rear, Southwest, one of the occupants of the machine, testified that both of Holmes's hands were on the steering wheel of the automobile when Marshall stabbed him. He stated that he did not hear the dead man make any reply to Marshall's query. Elizabeth Easton, of 417 Huntons Court, also testified that Holmes did nothing until he was stabbed by Marshall. Hattie Wheeler, of 415 Hunton Court, stated that she did not see Holmes do anything until he was cut by Marshall. He then got out of the car and was chased a short distance towards Union Street, by Marshall, she added further. Rosie Sharp, of 407 Hunton Court, swore that Holmes did not say a word when Marshall asked him about the car. She stated that when Marshall stabbed him, she thought the man had been struck with his fist. After the man was stabbed, the witness testified that Holmes got out of the car, explained, "Are you going to stand and see him kill me?" as Marshall chased him a short distance toward Union Street. John H. Wilson, who defended Marshall, suggested to the government's representative that Phillip Sharp be cited for perjury for his testimony.

Appointed as wiser on Negroes of Colored People in the movement; Colored Con-ction of White Man Associated Negro Press Secretary Harold Ickles of the Interior Department announced on Monday the appointment of Clark Foreman, a young white economist of Atlanta, Ga., to the post of National Adviser on the economic status of the Negro. "Although the appointee is to be an officer of the Interior Department," Mr. Ickes said in announcing Mr. Foreman's entry into governmental office, "he will cooperate with all departments and with the several special authorities in looking after the interests of America's twelve million colored citizens, in the whole recovery movement." Mr. Foreman's appointment stirred immediate interest in Negro civic and welfare circles. Hope had been entertained by certain organizations, notably the N.A.A.C.P. and the National Urban League, that a Negro would be appointed to an outstanding place in the recovery movement, and fears were expressed that Mr. Foreman's appointment would nullify that hope. The N.A.A.C.P. promptly dispatched a telegram to Mr. Ickes protesting the naming of Mr. Foreman. The Urban League had rather confidently expected that T. Arnold Hill would receive an outstanding place in the set-up while the N.A.A.C.P. had announced that assurances had been received that some colored man would be named to a responsible post. A spokesman close to the administration, who did not care to permit the use of his name, told the Associated Negro Press on Friday, that while politics were not to be permitted to play any part in their selection, several Negroes were to be selected by President Roosevelt to fill various posts in connection with the recovery effort. This spokesman said that Mr. Foreman's appointment was a direct outgrowth of the Economic Conference on the Status of the Negro held here last spring under the auspices of the Rosenwald fund. Immediately after the meeting members of the conference held interviews with governmental officials and it was agreed by both white and colored conferences, he said, that a white man could be of more service in contacting governmental officials than could a colored man in this particular post. Both Secretary W. W. Alexander of the Interracial Commission and President Edwin R. Embree of the Rosenwald Fund were consulted by government officials. Several aspirants were interviewed by Secretary Ickes and Mr. Foreman was selected by Mr. Ickes from the group. Mr. Foreman who is a nephew of Clark Howell, noted editor, of the Atlanta Constitution, is 32 years old and a grandson of Evan Howell who founded the Constitution. For the past five years he has been associated with the Rosenwald Fund in its Nashville office where he had charge of their county library promotion program. Some years ago he worked with Horace Mann Bond of Fisk University in a study of Negro schools of the South. This study was the basis of Mr. Foreman's thesis in obtaining his degree at Columbia University. Last year he spent in Russia, Denmark and England where he studied the country governments in those countries under the auspices of the Rosenwald Fund. He is a graduate of the University of Georgia, of Columbia University and of the London School of Economics. BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Not Boos Greeted Picture of "Miss Harlem," Says Universal Pictures NEW YORK—Both Walter Winchell and the Universal Pictures corporation deny that a girl wearing the badge of "Miss Harlem" in a recent picture called "Beauty on Broadway" is booed in the picture. R. H. Cochrane, vice-president of Universal Pictures, writes the N.A.A.C.P. that the girl is greeted with a chorus of "oohs" and "aahs" indicating approval.

Most of the 32 guests at the well known hostelry were forced to leave in their night clothes. Among the guests to escape were the Rev. J. Alvin Russell and family, of Lawrenceville, Va., and Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Whitehead, also of Lawrenceville. The Rev. Russell is principal of the St. Paul School and Mr. Whitehead is graduate manager of athletics. Mrs. L. E. Turner, of Washington, was also a guest at the hotel. Homes in Deanwood and outlying sections of the District were flooded and kept the fire department busy until Saturday pumping water out of basements. Trees were blown down in nearly every block in the city. Many lives were endangered from fallen limbs and broken signs. It was late Friday before traffic could be resumed safely on many streets in the District. Dr. and Mrs. A. M.

COLORED WOMAN HELD FOR GOVERNMENT FRAUD PITTSBURGH. — Mrs. Wilthia Buford, 90-pound woman, who can neither read nor write, was to be given a hearing today before a United States commissioner, charged with defrauding Uncle Sam of $10,000. Government investigators say she presented the death certificate of her husband, William Buford, killed in a recent automobile accident, and was paid the money as war risk insurance on William Erskine Buford, World War veteran. The Government now charges William Erskine Buford is a white man and is still alive and it wants the $10,000 back. Most of the money has been invested in government bonds, investigators say, but $700 went for a shiny new car.

Church Found Guilty of Misappropriation Special Committee Says His Statements Are Untrue; $1,800 in Question Alleged Collected for Wilberforce; Bishop Absent from Trial FROM THE FITZGERALD COURT WILBERFORCE, O. — African Methodism was dealt a stinging blow Thursday when one of its ecclesiastical leaders, the Right Rev. William H. Heard was found guilty (by a special committee appointed by the bishops' council) of misappropriating in the amount of $1,800, alleged moneys collected for Wilberforce University while he was in charge of the Third Episcopal District in which the school is located. The S3-year-old bishop, ill and weak from the infirmities of age, was not enough concerned about the allegations to attend the trial which took place here Thursday. This marks the third A.M.E. bishop found guilty of grafting funds in the past 16 months. The others were the late Bishop Joshua J. Jones and the Bishop W. T. Vernon, now unfrecked. Bishop Heard is now subject to immediate trial by a special committee chosen by Senior Bishop Parts. Committee Acts The special committee selected to conduct the trial included Prof. W. G. Pearson, of Durham; the Rev. J. A. Charleston, of Detroit; the Rev. H. Y. Arnett, of Philadelphia; Prof. Iva T. Bryant, of Nashville; the Rev. R. B. Smith, of Newark, N.J.; the Rev. F. M. Reid, of Louisville; and the Rev. J. F. Williams, of Columbus, Ohio. The committee met in June, but after two days' session, granted the request of Bishop Heard to allow him time to make proper accounting; that he could produce certain documents that would prove his innocence. The committee was somewhat surprised when the Bishop did not appear when they reassembled Thursday. The Rev. J. F. Williams, acting as spokesman for Bishop Heard, questioned the legal right of the committee to proceed in the defendant's absence. Prof. Pearson, chairman, ruled that the bishop had been duly notified and informed of the date and place of the meeting and that the committee would proceed regardless of the absence or presence of the bishop. Eamaging Evidence Read The Rev. C. J. Powell, presiding elder of the Third Episcopal District and who served in the same official position for four years under Heard's administration, read a number of letters and documents purported to have been written by Bishop Heard, substantiating the charges. He further called the committee's attention to the fact that the bishop did not deny that the shortage existed and that he sought to explain or justify his guilt. No evidence being offered for or by the defendant, Prof. Ira T. Bryant offered the following resolution which was adducted: We the committee on the shortage of Bishop Heard have received and carefully gone over the statements made by him proposing to represent disbursements of his covering the charge, and have likewise carefully considered the statements made by the complainants in rebuttal of all of the statements of Bishop Heard and have reached the conclusion that Bishop Heard's statements are untrue as they are not supported by a single voucher of any kind. In the light of all of the facts before us, the bishop is guilty of the charge of misappropriating something in the neighborhood of $1,800 collected by the Third Episcopal District as educational money raised for Wilberforce University during the previous quadrennium. Brilliant Record The well-known bishop has enjoyed a most enviable career prior to falling under the probing hand of the church. He is a native of Georgia, having been born in the year of 1850. He attended school at Atlanta and Allen Universities. Prior to his election to the general offices of the church he was a member of the South Carolina Legislature (1876); United States Minister to Liberia (1855-99). He was elected to the bishopric in 1908 and was hailed as the 35th bishop of the A.M.E. Church. He was presided over West Africa and Mississippi conferences and the last and third districts. His book the Bright Side of Africa," has been widely read. He lives in Philadelphia. EDITOR'S NOTE. — Bishop Heard was involved in serious churchly trouble a few months ago on account of his removal of two popular pastors of New York and New Jersey. The bishops' council of the church, meeting shortly after at Willowfield University, reversed the action of Bishop Heard and restored the displaced ministers to their former churches.

SLEEPING CAR PORTERS CELEBRATE EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY CHICAGO—The celebration of the eighth anniversary of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters began with an address by Congressman Fiorella H. LaGuardia, of New York, on the politico-economic aspects of the National Industrial Recovery Act. He predicted success for the measure and a new era for American labor, but warned that should it fall, chaos, confusion, and a general economic and social breakdown would inevitably follow in its train. The Sunday mass meeting was followed by a week of meetings where there was general and intensive discussion of the social, industrial, and labor problems of the present period, and methods for effecting their solution. Monday night, August 21, Attorney Charles Wesley Burton was in charge of the program and delivered a speech on "The Negro citizen's part in giving co-operation and support to the black workers who are attempting to form trade and industrial, unions for their economic protection and advancement under the NRA." A discussion of "The Negro woman and the labor movement," was made in a challenging talk by Miss Thyra J. Edwards, ornament social worker who has received a scholarship to study political science in the internationally known People's College in Elsinore, Denmark. She gave a dramatic and vivid description of the hard and difficult struggle of the wives and sisters of the coal miners in southern Illinois to help their fathers, brothers and sons to win a bare subsistence wage from the despotic coal barons who have sought to break the miners' unions with bullets. Randolph Speaks Tuesday night, A. Philip Randolph, national president of the brotherhood, made the principal address on the "Present and Future program of the Pullman Porters' Union." He predicted that the brotherhood would win recognition from the Pullman Company, secure a decent wage and the 240-hour work month for the porters. "Even if there had been no NRA, the brotherhood would have won its fight because of the militant and aggressive spirit of our movement," declared Randolph. Dr. Paul H. Douglas, head of the Department of Economics of the University of Chicago, and eminent white liberal, made a scientific talk on the origin, nature, scope, and significance of NRA. Mr. Douglas was recently appointed expert economic adviser on codes under the Recovery Act by President Roosevelt. He viewed with promise and hope the development and outcome of President Roosevelt's recovery legislation, but also indicated the dangers that exist which may bring failure and collapse. "I am working for the success of NRA, because I feel that if this significant effort of the President to conquer and beat the depression fails, our country faces the possibility of the rise of Fascism, headed by an American Hitler, who will sweep away all of our democratic civil and political liberties," declared Professor Douglas. Promised Backing of Union He ended his talk by urging that the Pullman porters who are members of the union bestir themselves in carrying the message to their fellow workers and bringing them into the fold of the organization, and expressed his ardent wish and hope that the brotherhood should win recognition from the Pullman Company. One of the international vice presidents of the Brotherhood of Railway car men, and special correspondent for "Labor," organ of the twenty-one standard railroad unions, E. K. Hogan, white, spoke Thursday night on the "Trade Union Movement and NRA." He assured the Pullman porters of the support and hacking of their white railroad fellow workers, and predicted victory for the porters under the aggressive and courageous leadership of the brotherhood. M. P. Webster, chairman of the General Executive Board of B.S. C.P. and who has arranged the program for the eighth anniversary, made a stirring and able address on the "Negro worker and the Trade Union Movement." Bennis Smith, second vice president of the brotherhood, who because of his militant fight to organize the porters in Jacksonville, Florida, was forced to leave by conspiracies of the Pullman Company against him, gave an interesting and entertaining description of the operation of the employee representation plan and of his experience in the Pullman wage conferences, one agreement of which, despite great pressures by high Pullman officials, he refused to sign.

Whites May Be Carried in Negro Ambulance but Never Vice Versa BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—"This is the South, and we don't take no 'niggers' in a white ambulance." That was the answer of a white ambulance drive, to the query of a oystander, while a badly injured Negro worker lay waiting for an ambulance used specially for Negroes. On Tuesday, August 8, a Negro worker, at 26th Street and 30th Avenue, North, was cutting dead limbs off a tree. One of the limbs broke and he fell on a high tension wire. The electricity entered his body, and he fell to the ground, a distance of 18 to 20 feet. A call was put in for an ambulance. A "white" ambulance came to the scene first. When the driver saw it was "only a Negro" who had been injured, he called up a Negro ambulance service. The worker was placed in the Negro ambulance, but while he was being taken to the hospital the car collided with another automobile and broke down. Another Negro ambulance had to be obtained, while the injured worker lay in the car in the most terrible agony from his burn- and his fall. During the delay, six white ambulances had appeared on the scene. A sympathetic bystander asked one of the drivers if it was not possible, in such an emergency, to transport the injured man in a white ambulance. "This is the South, and we don't take no 'niggers' in a white ambulance," said the driver. The bystander asked if a badly hurt white man could be driven in a Negro ambulance, and was told of many instances where white people had been rushed to the hospital by Negro ambulances. ADMINISTRATION PASSING BUCK ON NEGRO JOBS NEW YORK (NAACP)—If Negroes are to receive any jobs from the huge public works program they will have to depend on the tender mercies of local contractors. That is the gist of the position of the national public works administration in Washington. The administration, in answer to two letters from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, at first said it had no power to dictate labor policies and that contractors who get the huge contracts should be seen for jobs. In the second letter, the national administration of public works, over the signature of Major Philip B. Fleming, of the engineering corps, who is an official under Secretary Ickes, states trustfully that it believes "all races of people who are citizens of the United States, will be given just treatment in respect to employment." The letter says the department of labor has set up special employment bureaues and that workers will be recruited from them. It will be remembered that the workers for Boulder Dam were all taken from the United States employment office at Las Vegas and this office never recommended a single Negro for work there until pressure was brought to bear from Washington. TWO YOUTHS INJURED IN AUTO ACCIDENTS Two youths were among the four persons receiving minor bruises in automobile mishaps, Saturday. Caryl Burns, 9, of 1111 New Jersey Avenue, Northwest, suffered bruises about the left eye when he was struck by a machine at New Jersey Avenue and L Street, said to have been driven by Charles Johnson, of the 2700 block of Georgia Avenue. Ten-year-old Willie C. Davis, of 724 Kastell Place, Northeast, escaped with a jolting when he fell out of an automobile driven by Thomas Cary, of 814 Forty-fourth Street, Northeast. Mrs. Sallie Johnson, 49, of 1407 W Street, Northwest, received bruises of the right elbow and right knee when she was hit by an automobile driven by a Dr. Shields, of Fredericksburg, Va. When a car in which he was riding overtured near his home, Robert Dent, 27, of Pisgah, Md., suffered bruises of the left chest and a possible fracture of the jaw. Sleeping Sickness Adds Another Negro to Its Death Toll ST. LOUIS, Mo.—With deaths from sleeping sickness unabated, authorities have launched a fresh effort to find a means to check the malady. The total deaths have risen to close a score and the number of cases to more than 350. One of the first persons to die from the disease, was a Negro. This week Mrs. Clara Green, 43, a resident of Brentwood, was reported to have died from the disease. Several scores of Negroes are among those afflicted, most of them living in the county. Purchase of monkeys for laboratory work here on the disease has been authorized.

In 5,000 miles continuous driving through traffic, AMOCO-GAS, in a new stock V-8 Ford, gave 221/2 miles to the gallon-20% more than the Ford factory considers good mileage with regular gasoline. AMOCO-GAS does not cost the motorist that much more over regular gasoline. So even on mileage alone, you don't save a cent when you buy "regular"! The added mileage from AMOCO-GAS places it on a lower cost footing. But observe the other great plus values you get from AMOCO-GAS that you cannot get from any "regular" gasoline. Or from any other premium fuel, either. (1) Complete "anti-knock" performance. (2) Greatly decreased carbonization and far fewer repair bills. (3) Infinitely more power-and smoother motor performance. (4) Quicker pick-up-no "choking" on the get-away. *AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION NEW YORK.—The full story of the threats against their lives made in Tuscaloosa courtroom, August 1, when they were barred from the defense of the frame-up victims there who were lynched on August 13, was told in a special interview here by Allan Taub and Irving Schwab, International Labor Defense attorneys. "What happened in that courtroom was preparation for the lynching," Schwab and Taub said. "We had exposed their legal-lynch manoevers. The 'best people' of Tuscaloosa did not want another exposure like the one in the Scottsboro case. They barred the LLD. attorneys in an attempt to prevent it. respo Sheperjail, jail alth by a "courtria was the weer way heaad preLLI—sgo Intimidated Leading Negroes "The announcement of the LL.D. that it would enter the case of Pippen aroused furious hostility among the ruling whites. They terrorized the local Negroes; they called meetings of leading Negroes of Tuscaloosa and demanded that they pass resolutions against the ILL.D. Sheriff R. L. Shamblin refused us permission to see the defendants in jail, saying that he was not satisfied that we were the attorneys, although we had retainers signed by all the nearest of kin. "We arrived at the Tuscaloosa courthouse on the morning of the trial, August 1, at 9 o'clock. There was an immense crowd in front of the courthouse, and the corridors were jammed. As we pushed our way through the corridors, we heard members of the crowd—who had been told all week through the press and other means that the ILL.D. must be kept out of the case—say loudly: 'There they go.

So now you can afford the best! other officials, and quite a number of judges and former judges from other parts of Alabama. "Frank Irwin, our co-attorney in the case, a native of Birmingham, rose in court to make the following statement: That he had been retained by the defendants in the case; that he had gone to the jail in Tuscaloosa to see the defendants, but was not allowed to consult with them; that he had succeeded in seeing only young Pippen in the Jefferson County jail in Birmingham; that although he had written the clerk of court of his retainer in the case, he was not notified according to legal procedure of the date of the trial, but had to find this out through other channels; that because he had not been permitted to see his clients he felt himself to be unprepared to proceed at once with the case and therefore asked a continuance. Irwin then showed the court the retainers signed by Dan Pippen, Jr., and by the nearest-of-kin of the defendants. "At this point J. D. McQueen, one of the attorneys appointed by the court for the defendants, called for a recess. The five 'defense' lawyers appointed by Judge Henry B.

'This is a sad duty indeed,' said McQueen. 'Defending these men is not something I would have wished for myself. We are here just to carry out our duty, and we are here under direction of this court. "The state then put on the stand young Dan Pippen, and forced from him a repudiation of the retains he had signed in jail. Pippen had been thoroughly beaten in jail, and the bandages about his head had been removed only a few days before the trial. "At this point the judge adjourned the session, and ordered that the court be cleared. The three lawyers of the L.L.D. remained in the room. A note was passed in to the judge, stating that the crowd outside was growing more threatening and had determined to lynch the attorneys. We could hear howls outside the door. 'Let's get 'em! Let's get the bastards'" EDITOR'S NOTE. — The L.L.D. attorneys were finally smuggled out of the building and escorted to the train by soldiers.

The advertisement shows a little colored boy, about to bite into a large slice of watermelon with the remark that he doesn't care if it does stain his teeth. The wording underneath the picture tells "Sambo" to go ahead and not be afraid, because Colgate's dental cream will clean the stain off. The N.A.A.C.P. has written the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Company, the Saturday Evening Post advertising manager, and the advertising agency hadling the Colgate account sayig that the advertisement is not in good taste and will not make colored people rush out and buy tubes of Colgate dental cream. This company makes Palmolive soap, Colgate soaps and shaving cream and all the Peet company soaps. By this advertisement the company joins the Barbazol company, shaving cream manufacturers, which allows its radio programs to be full of "darky" and "coon" songs. Neither of these firms advertises in the Nerve press. CURRENT TOPICS Washington Tribune Published Weekly at Washington, D.C., by THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE PUBLISHING COMPANY, Inc. $20 U Street, N.W.

Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1933 Discrimination in the Codes The danger pointed out in these columns last week, that, as the Norfolk Virginia-Pilot (white) points out, for low-skilled or unskilled Negro labor the Blue Eagle may be a predatory bird instead of feathered messenger of happiness, is dwelt upon in our newspapers all over the land, especially in the South. It is truly a complicated question, and one not to be dismissed lightly. The difficulties are well set forth by Dr. Gordon B. Hancock in his column "Between the Lines" in the Norfolk Journal and Guide. He says: "It begins to look as if the NRA codes are going to complicate further a very complicated question. Of course the Negroes do not want any discrimination in the codes. They want whatever advantages the codes bring and justly so; but it is good for the Negro to realize at the outset that if an equal code prevails for whites and Negroes everywhere, it means a smaller employment opportunity for the Negro. . . . "Hitherto the dollar appeal has touched the white employer and when he could make dollars out of the Negro's cheap labor he hastened to do so; but with the dollar appeal losing its force in the codes, some other appeal must be made and just what that appeal is remains to be seen. "The Negro must take his choice between seeing his already narrow labor opportunities further restricted and accepting a double code. If a double code obtains, there will be the same monetary incentive for the employing white man as in the past; but if the Negro insists on the same code, then it means that a large displacement will take place, as has already begun. "It must be borne in mind that the Negro has hitherto made it in this country under a double code. It is the price that an impecunious race has to pay for a start in the economic world. This country has made place for the Negro because of his acceptance of the double code in wages. . . . "We may as well face it now as later, the white man is feeling less and less responsible for the Negro's employment. The government may enact laws but so long as we have private ownership of industry, the Negro is going to be on the outside looking in. Even in government ownership he need not expect indiscriminate justice for the reason those who manipulate the machinery of government are human and humans are partial to their kind." Our White Intercessor Quite correctly the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has voiced a vigorous objection to the designation of a white Georgian, Clark Foreman, to act as the official adviser to the administration on economic matters concerning Negroes, especially those growing out of the application of the new recovery codes. The secretary of the N.A.A.C.P. was careful to state that objections did not lie against Mr. Foreman, personally, but against the designation of a white adviser for Negroes, holding that there were a considerable number of colored persons fully competent to act in such a capacity. However, behind this appointment, if the Associated Negro Press can be relied upon, is a story of singular significance. The A.N.P. quotes an unnamed spokesman for the administration as saving that— Mr. Forenan's appointment was a direct outgrowth of the Economic Conference on the Status of the Negro held here last spring under the auspices of the Rosenwald Fund. Immediately after the meeting, members of the conference held interviews with government officials and it was agreed by both white and colored conferences, he said, that a white man could be of more service in contacting government officials than could a colored man in that particular post. It surely would be interesting to know who were the colored members of the conference who agreed to this repugnant paternalism. Either the informant of the A.N.P. or the spokesman for the administration was discretely silent on this important matter. However, two white men are named—W. W. Alexander, of Atlanta, secretary of the Interracial Commission, and Edwin W. Embree, of the Rosenwald Fund—who were "consulted by government officials." Of course, Mr. Foreman, unless he is less racially conceited than most white men—not excepting, as a class, our really sincere friends and well wishers—will believe that he is performing a service for us that none of us are capable of performing, and will altruistically stick' to the job. And, under the circumstances, why shouldn't he? Appraisals for Home Loans The Virginia state manager of the Home Owners' Loan Corporation gave out a lengthy statement last week setting forth the principles and methods by which the appraisers arrived at the value of homes on which relief loans are sought. A typical case, in which he enumerated the details of an appraisement, was cited. The case involved a home with a market value of $10,000 in 1928, before the depression set in. After considering the three main factors involved in the loan corporation's method of appraisal, the value worked out for the basis of a loan on the property is $6,700; that is, 67 per cent of its pre-depression value. Since loans may not exceed 80 per cent of the loan corporation's appraised value, the highest loan on the home would be $5,360, or 53 per cent of its pre-depression value. According to this showing, Uncle Sam, or his agents, at least, are playing safe in this scheme of supposed relief for distressed borrowers. Evidently he or they do not have much faith in the efforts being put forth to restore prosperity, involving as it would, a restoration of a value far exceeding 67 per cent of normal or pre-depression value on homes which had had only ordinary occupancy use for five years. It would be interesting to know whether state and municipal assessors for local taxation have scaled or will scale valuations to a similar extent in assessing property for taxation. Certainly it has not been done in Virginia, but may be for 1934, though nothing has been heard to that effect so far. Alabama's Real Disgrace In another column we are re-printing an editorial from the Birmingham Daily News which is headed, "Alabama Stands Disgraced"—disgraced by reason of the recent lynching of two colored boys and the serious wounding of another near Tuscaloosa two weeks ago, the details of which occurrence need not be repeated here. For this atrocity—which the News insincerely attributes to "a few hot heads"—Alabama is disgraced, but the state is even more disgraced by reason of the existence of the conditions which lead up to, and actually provoke, such outbursts of unrestrained savagery. A reading of the account of the proceedings in the court when these boys came up for trial will show why these hot heads disgraced Alabama in that they did not allow the judicial procedures to go on to their logical end—the execution of these boys after a farcical trial. The account states that Frank Irwin, of Birmingham, was a co-attorney with the LLD. attorneys who were refused permission to appear for the boys. Irwin had a retainer signed by Dan Pippen, one of the accused, and by the nearest kin of the other defendants, but he had not had an opportunity to consult his clients and asked for a continuance. The recital continues: At this point John D. McQueen, one of the attorneys appointed by the court for the defendants, called for a recess. The five "defense" lawyers appointed by Judge Henry D. Foster, the lawyers for the prosecution, and the judge himself, all retired for consultation. When they came back, McQueen arose and spoke . . . "This is a sad duty indeed," said McQueen. "Defending these men is not something I would have wished for myself. We are here just to carry out our duty, and we are here under the direction of the court." The state then put on the stand young Pippen, and forced from him a repudiation of the retainer he had signed in jail. However, the court adjourned the session and ordered the room cleared. Meantime a large crowd was outside audibly threatening to lynch the I.L.D. attorneys, who were smuggled out and escorted to the train by soldiers. If procedures such as these, including the conduct of the judge and the attorneys, can be common in Alabama—as indeed they are—no hot heads are needed to disgrace the state. Evading the Record From the Norfolk Journal and Guide The last lynching that occurred in Virginia was officially docked a suicide. The victim was found hanging by his neck, and the coroner's jury's final determination was that he hanged himself to escape the consequences of his crime. Virginia was thereby saved the odium of having had a lynching in the year 1832. The other day a colored man who had gotten into a fight with a white man was taken out of the town jail at Clinton, S.C. Next morning his dead body was found in a churchyard, bearing evidences of having been beaten to death. The Negro janitor who was in charge of the jail testified that four men carried the prisoner away. There is a law in South Carolina which makes a county in which a lynching occurs responsible to the family of the victim to the amount of $2,000. Ordinarily the Clinton affair would constitute a clear case of liability upon Laurens County, but the governor and other authorities have declared that it was a murder and not a lynching. Therefore South Carolina has been spared the odium of a lynching and Laurens County is $2,000 to the good. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1933 "Promoters of business . . . have their appropriate reward but Grimke and Brooks have chosen the better part." By KELLY MILLER For the past thirty years, more intensely since the World War, Negro youth, imitating the white youth of our country, have gone a-whoring after wealth and power. The whites, in large numbers, have attained the quest, only to find it turning to dust and ash in their hands. Where are the mighty millionaires who but a short decade ago, count their material substance in as many figures as there are fingers on both hands? The number is dwindling towards the vanishing point. They cannot be found when the come tax gatherer calls. The memory of the former luxuriance but saddens their present lot. The Negro is, normally enough, imitative. The Apostle Paul tells us to covet the beggifts. But we have rather coveted the thing that perish rather than the things that abide. Wealth and power, in a comparative or competitive sense, have never been within grassing reach of the Negro. A decent livelihood with the reasonable creature comforts, is a that he can hope to extract from this civilization under the rigorous exactions of rapi prejudice. In most instances those who have dared venture beyond that limit have come to early grief. Our less instructed, but not less illumine forebears, crying in the wilderness of sufferin and sorrow, visioned a conquering sign in the sky, and in disdain of the white man's pomp and vanity, their unsophisticated souls burst forth in exuberant lyric—"You may have a the world, give me Jesus."

Dunbar depicts the ambition of lowly life in lighter vein: "Take the world, let the white folks rule it. But I declare I want that pullet." These sentiments alike portray the abdication of wealth and power for a more easily attained objective. Yet underneath it all there lies a fundamental philosophy. THE NEGRO NEED NOT HOPE FOR WEALTH AND POWER The Negro, in his present state, need no hope to compete with the white man for the wealth, power and domination of this world. He may as well declare the grapes sour because they hang too high. But the folk sense of our unsophisticated forebears fathomed deeper wisdom than their more learned grandsons who have become doctors of philosophy. The missionary philanthropists who can South immediately after the Civil War taught the Negro youth to seek first the kingdom of Heaven and its righteousness as a condition precedent to the acquisition and enjoyment of wealth and power.

GRIMKE AND BROOKS EXAMPLES FOR YOUTH This doctrine took lodgment in the conscience and imagination of such of their disciples as Dr. Francis J. Grimke and Dr Walter H. Brooks, both of whom have stood before the Washington public for fifty years preaching temporal and eternal salvation through truth and righteousness. They are now both over eighty years old and soon will be able to render to their Master a satisfactor account of their stewardship. In the mean time hundreds of new leaders have flourished and fallen. They have chewed the gospel of goodness and service for the doctrine of advancement through wealth and power. I have seen countless leader flourish like the bay tree. They have lived in fine houses, ridden in sumptuous cars, put on great outward show and pomp, but grief laat the end of the road, their reputed wealth vanished in thin air, and their glory departed ere their allotted span of life had elapsed. But the influence of Grimke and Brooks, like O. Man River, it just keeps rolling along. This doctrine took lodgment in the conscience and imagination of such of their disciples as Dr. Francis J.

The in dustrial depression bears hardest upon the self deluded elite who thought themselves wealthy. The money which has been wasted on fashionable automobiles during the past twenty years would now go far towards feeding the hunger and relieving the distressed. This awful depression whose end only the optimist can see, will not prove to be an unmitigated evil, if it but teaches the misguide and pompous Negro the vanity of aping the white man's antics in the needless and lavis display of wealth precariously acquired an insecurely held. All patriotic and loyal citizens are joining hands with President Roosevelt to bring about the return of prosperity. We do not know what the end will be but of one thing we may be perfectly certain: The Negro will not short return even to the semblance of prosperity which he once thought was in his grasp. The promoters of business and practical enterprises should not be discouraged. Such leaders have their place as they have the appropriate reward. But Grimke and Brook have chosen the better part.

CHARACTER IS BASIC FOR PROSPPERITY Character lies at the basis of all enduring prosperity. Indeed, it is well that the Negro with his obvious imperfections of character has not been able to acquire any considerable amount of wealth. For like the Prodigal so he would waste it in riotic living. Pride goeth before a fall. Why should the spirit of the Negro be proud? Our schools and colleges, pulpits and platforms will have the hark back to the basic philosophy of our forebears which subordinated wealth to the high moral and spiritual values. May they raise up more men like Grimke and Brooks, intelligent upright, high minded, unafraid, who discount the things that fade for the things which abide.

MITCHELL INSIDE A JEWISH SYNAGOGUE! While the above is true it is a trifle misleading, for while I was inside of what was once the beautiful and massive Jewish synagogue at Fifty-third and Michigan Boulevard, it is now the home of the Bethesda Baptist Church, pastored by the Rev. E. T. Martin. Chicago is the home of so many beautiful churches that one who is not affiliated with any particular denomination must have special reasons for selecting some particular church to attend, and I had very special reasons—an invitation from Miss Myrtle King Brown, who the reader will recall was with me and my sister some weeks ago when I previously visited some churches here. Although I arrived at the church promptly at 11 o'clock, I did not get there in time to view the processional march by the junior chorus, which I later learned commences at five minutes to eleven. But after obtaining a seat in the rear of the church where I could view everything without beng too conspicuous in doing so, I became deeply impressed with the observance of punctuality in opening their services, for the large seating capacity was extremely noticeable by the number of empty seats available. Gradually, however, the attendance increased and new arrivals were seen entering even as late as ten minutae before the closing time. And one peculiar thing I noticed about the late arrivals seemed to be their almost unanimous desire to be seated close to the front. Perhaps there is a little peculiar psychology in coming to church late and parading down to the front with all eyes centered on one. As the services proceeded, I regretted that I hadn't gone further to the front myself, for it was rather difficult to hear some of the speakers from where I was sitting. This condition was caused by three imperfections: a slight deafness, the low voice modulation of some of the speakers, and the successful efforts of a husky youngster in arms who desired to be heard—and was. The music, however, was grand. All during the services my eyes searched and searched in an effort to find out where the organist was and whether a he or a she. I was not successful in my search and I am still curious to know where the console of that organ is. The choral music for that particular day was furnished by the junior chorus composed of about thirty-four high school boys and girls, trained wholly by Miss Myrle King Brown, secretary to Harry H. Pace, president of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, who I understand has spent one or two evenings a week in training this chorus, even to the extent of personally making all of the robes used by the members. It would take some one possessing more technical knowledge of music and its execution than I possess, to comment professionally on the work of this chorus under Miss Brown's leadership and training, Personally, however, I could have sat there for an indefinite period listening, for each number seemed to surpass the previous one, and the spiritual, "Certainly Lord," which they sang last, left such a longing to hear such numbers that I expect to be there quite frequently.

Some Light on Conditions in the Caribbean Islands To the Editor: On August fourth the press reported that Dr. A. Greenfield Price, Australian scholar, in a lecture before the George Washington University Conference of Hispano-American affairs said appalling conditions in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands show what happens to white settlements when the Negro is not dealt with adequately, but is left living beside the white man and below his level. Now, as one who has spent many years in the tropics, especially in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Santo Domingo and Cuba, I am at a loss to fully understand just what Dr. Price means by "white settlement." I do not remember ever having seen any purely white settlement in any of the islands that I have visited or lived on, I am sure that I can recall that there is considerable admixture of the races. This admixture has been going on for centuries in the West Indies. A good many of the so-called whites have had grandi-parents that were anything but white. As to the appalling conditions in (Continued on page 10) An Answer to the Tribune's Question- "What Does It Mean?" By RIENZI B. LEMUS In 1927, when the late gilded epoch's end two years later was not remotely suspected and the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America could easily finance its Afric welfare activities, Afric Professional Upliftery, Inc., assembled all its hosts on Howard University campus at Washington in mid-December. I asked the most plausible man in the world—Washington's Prof. Charles M. Thomas—to what could be attributed the assemblage of de luxe race problem hustlers at that time when things were apparently serene and they had not begun to knock off each other so successfully at Tuskegee, with Mr. S. W. Rutherford sitting on the National Benefit Insurance lid—telling all that he was the heaviest insured person of "our group," Anthony Overton inspiring awe like J. P. Morgan the elder used to, and bootleggers' valets were driving their own Buicks? "Christmas," laconically replied Prof. Thomas. "They assemble here, make glowing reports on the work of the 'new Negro' and get assured their checks from the philanthropists for next year," he added. And Charlie Thomas is always plausible. So now comes the Washington Tribune to pertly query in an editorial—"What Does it Mean?" the recent assembling of FIFTY brilliant and young new Negroes on the estate of Major Joel E. Spingarn at Amenia, N.Y. It meant being guests, for one thing. New Negroes never have gone big for hosting—except for entertaining white folks at some place where "the Negro" is taboo. In justice to Mr. Spingarn who is president of the N.A.A.C.P., however, it ought not to be forgotten that he has been entertaining the new Negro at Amenia for perhaps fifteen years consecutively. With the new economic pattern evolving irresistibly and things nothing like they used to be among the "friends of the race" who could always get touched for race uplift wherewithal, race problem hustling has got as tough at it was soft from 1919 to 1930; and therefore the 1933 new Negro meet at Amenia could not have been as those gatherings used to be. The Tribune's query—"What Does It Mean?"—was entirely timely. I think the answer would be furnished by a reading of an article said to have been published in the Southern Workman by Dr. George E. Haynes, chief "Africist" of the material uplift department of the Federal Council of "Christ's" Churches in America. I did not see nor read the article. My informant was Mr. U. S. Poston of New York. As I recall his narrative, "Tessor Haynes, alarmed at the successful "raceolizing" of the Afric-reds (from New York), concluded that the only way to keep "the Negro in line" would be through U. S. capitalists continuing to finance "the conservative Negro leaders." But what Sis Candice Grinner knew thirty years ago, "U. S. capitalists" with their estates rapidly shrinking, have now learned. It is, neither new Negroes nor conservative Negro leaders are missionaries. They are abstract raceologists, each seeking the utmost in creature comforts at the U. S. capitalists' and "the Negro's" expense. There is said to be a certain type of weasel which instinctively declines to ferret out rats because soon there would be no rodents left to justify its employment. It lolls and pretends. Even though it took hard times to furnish the occasion, "philanthropic capitalism" has learned that Negroes in this country cannot be regimented. And so it is woe unto the old line race problem hustlers, and their successors de luxe—the latest crop of "new Negro." For, no regimentation, no "race leaders." That this year's Amenia gathering was therefore different from all others is quite obvious. In another part of New York State is one of President Roosevelt's reforestation camps. Just before the 50 brilliant new Negroes foregathered at Amenia some colored youths, mostly from the streets of Harlem, strongly felt that they were being unduly "run around" by their white officers of that camp. They did not appeal to the N.A.A.C.P.—of which, fortunately, they had never heard. They ran amok, in the camp—on the ground! Few were expelled. Most remained; have had no further occasion for reasonable complaints, and may be heard—even when not seen—in Harlem late of a Sunday night returning to camps in the buses supplied by Uncle Sam, I believe, for the purpose. Literally, the memory of such a dead youth is worth all the "new Negroes" alive, and all who have lived. I ran into a young lady just returned from Amenia. She was quite enthusiastic and remarked— SPECIAL FEATURES Think It Over Happiness is a little child dancing on tiptoe in the sun. Happiness is a dainty, elusive butterfly that settles on our doorsteps for a moment's rest. Silently, with bated breath, we stand and admire it. Sometimes we put out our hands and are lucky enough to hold it in our grasp. But even while we exult in triumph and plead with it to stay, its fragile wings waver and beat in an effort to escape from its prison, and if we do not let it go we know that we would kill the very thing which we admire, for it would destroy its self rather than remain captive. Hold it lightly, fellow human, it is a fragile thing! Strive not to possess it, for it is a creature that is lovely only when it is free and loses its beauty and meaning if it tarry too long. It brings us a moment's pleasure that must sometimes suffice for a lifetime, when we would fain hold it close and keep it near always. The human soul forever yearns to be happy, knowing full well the impossibility of it. For even if we could tame the butterfly and coax the child into our house to stay, the atmosphere would stifle so wild a creature and the continual sojourn with men would make the child as dull and commonplace as its host. Happiness is the infrequent guest that stops just long enough to brighten the atmosphere and make the world pleasanter to live in. She never wears her welcome out, but leaves a sincere desire for her speedy return. She is a gift sent by the gods to allay the thirst of man, yet whets his appetite so that he will go forever in search of that which he will never find, although it lies, say the wise men, at his doorstep. But the moments of bliss snatched here and there are worth the life of reality and pain; and the infrequent beauty and warmth more than repays the human soul for the daily draubness of its existence. Happiness is a sweet strain of music that glides across our hearts and leaves as an aftermath the golden prints of precious hours for remembrance. Happiness is the benediction of God on a weary world. Alabama Stands Disgraced From the Birmingham News Most Alabamans feel this shame deeply. All enlightened, law-abiding citizens of this state are as outraged over this horrible affair as anyone could be. Indeed, such Alabamans, and that means by far the great majority, of course, are more outraged than any others could possibly be, for it is their state whose name has been blackened, and they will not be spared from the reproach of the rest of the world. It will be unjust for those who deplore this outrage more deeply than any outsider could to be held up to scorn because they are citizens of the state where this crime was committed. But that is an inevitable consequence of a lynching. People elsewhere will not understand that this atrocity was the act merely of a few hot-heads, a small band of barbarians. Others will not understand that the vast body of this state's citizens not only do not condone this piece of savagery, but that they are profoundly shocked and grieved at this act of violence. But that is the penalty that the many must pay for the lawlessness of a few. There is never any excuse for lynching. This lynching was particularly reprehensible, in view of many circumstances. That is to say that recently law and order in Alabama has been on trial in the eyes of the rest of the country—whether justly or not, justice in Alabama has been on trial—and at this time of all times every Alabaman should have been temperate and restrained in feeling. The crime cannot be undone. But every effort should be made to apprehend the guilty ones and bring them to justice. A confession of faith is the acceptance of God—I receive him as my Father. "Whom God calls he equips; he provides strong shoes for strong paths"—Bishop Taylor Smith. "the Negro will show you." I agreed: one had just shown me. Ran into him over by Morningside Park. He was so hungry that the corners of his mouth were as white as the gills of a bluefish. He attempted to show me that he was a goat—could eat a newspaper; but even in his abnormal state was a "new Negro"—for he selected a Hearst newspaper. They think at the hospital he soon will be out of the psychopathic ward; needs rest and nourishment. In 1909 he was a brilliant new N-gro. His Pullman porter brother often had to feed him.

EATON Poor Salesmanship NOTE:—This column, prior to this week, has dealt exclusively with news stories of the week, but the writer, after reading Dr. Kelly Miller's release of last week on "Negro Proprietors of Retail Stores," wishes to make an exception for the present and offer a short dialogue on Negro business technique. This dialogue, which actually took place in one of our U Street flower shops recently, indicates one of the many reasons why Washington falls below the average populous cities in per capita expenditures in Negro business as pointed out by Dr. Miller. The Negro's lack of interest in colored enterprises is not always to blame for the failure of a racial business. Often the fault rests upon the shoulders of the proprietors themselves. The following is a good example of this (Names used are fictious): Mrs. Smith wishes to buy roses for a sick aunt—centers flower shop of Mr. Blank to make purchase. Mrs. Smith—I wish to get a dozen roses please. Mr. Blank—Sorry, Miss, I am out of roses just now and I won't have any more until tomorrow. Mrs. Smith (Starts to go out. She notices a vase full of beautiful roses in the corner of show case)—Oh! there are some lovely roses. What is wrong with them, Mr. Blank. Mr. Blank—They are no good for house use, Madam. The stems are too short. I keep them for funeral purposes. Mrs. Smith—Why they seem to hold in that vase all right. Let me see how long the stems are, if you don't mind. Mr. Blank—I know you are not going to like them, Miss, but I'll show them to you. Mrs. Smith (After seeing the roses)—They look all right. I think those stems are plenty long for a house vase. Mr. Blank—I wouldn't think of selling these to you, Miss. The stems are too short and I am sure you won't like them. Mrs. Smith—Oh, yes, they will be all right. How much are they per dozen? Mr. Blank—Well, Miss, I guess you know what you want, but these stems are pretty short, and— Mrs. Smith (impatiently)—I said how much are they per dozen please? Mr. Blank (surprised)—Oh-er-er—fifty cents a dozen—the regular price. Mrs. Smith made her purchase and as she stepped into the street she dried the perspiration on her brow. One could easily detect that she thought very little of this form of business technique. What do you think of this salesmanship? IN THE REALM OF BOOKS By C. LESLIE FRAZIER Rufus P. Turner, 1243 Kenyon Street, Northwest, has announced that his book "The Story of Amateur Radio" is to be published and issued in November. The book is being put out by Petric New York. Mr. Turner is a local radiotrician, and has contributed articles to the leading radio magazines in the United States. When in high school, Mr. Turner wrote articles relative to crystal radios which were the fad at that time. * * * * "God's Angry Man" is John Brown, that tremendous figure in American history, dismissed today by the school book historian as a misguided fanatic, but who did more to hasten the abolition of slavery in this country than any other person. The Northern soldiers swung on their way singing the single great popular anthem America has produced: "John Brown's body lies a mouldering in the grave, but his soul goes marching on." It marched triumphantly to the Emancipation Proclamation. There have been a number of biographies of John Brown, Oswald Garrison Villard's the most exhaustive, but this book of fiction, Ehrlich describes his writing, is the greatest picture yet drawn of the Hebrew prophet, this man who could not see slavery endure and live. And it is natural that the picture should be drawn by one of the race of great prophets, by a young Jew, educated in school and college of New York. He understands the vision. I have read many of John Brown's biographers and none gives so authentic a picture as Leonard Ehrlich's, for his book is without comment, without controversy. John Brown himself.—Mary White Ovington. A nation's power depends on the physical strength and character of its women, and not on its army of men or its statesmen.

WHITE, President Box 447, Manassas, Virginia ROOSEVELT'S AID ASKED FOR THREE ACCUSED KILLERS Stay of Death Granted to Allow Attorney to See President Following the refusal of the United States Supreme Court to consider their case and the sanction of the District Court of Appeals of the death pealty ordered by a lower court, three youths were temporarily snatched from the electric chair pending executive clemency Thursday. The three condemned to die in the electric chair on September 8, were granted a stay of execution until October 6, by Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue, in District Supreme Court. Their names are: Charles E. Washington, Leanard A. Layton, and William C. Robinson.

Deputy sheriff's took Miss Worthing into custody at the Sherwood apartments, where she has been living in seclusion more than two months under the name of "Vera Martin," following the last "break" with Dr. Nelson. The arrest was made at the request of Genevieve Dodge, psychopathic parole officer, charging the actress with violating her parole. Miss Worthing had been released in the custody of the officer following her apprehension on a narcotics complaint and being placed on probation nearly a year ago. The erstwhile actress was front-paged several years ago when she married the physician, at the time reputed to be one of the wealthiest Negroes on the Pacific Coast. He had been divorced from his wife, Arnelita Williams Nelson, sister of Florence Cole-Talbert, interationally known concert singer. A marital rift soon came with his white wife, ending in the annulment of the marriage two years ago. The doctor agreed to pay her a large monthly sum.

Chicago or Bust 769 MILES IN FIVE DAYS By "HIKE" GORDON Saturday morning June 24, 6:30 found me with a knapsack on my back decorated with four pennants. A Howard University pennant strung above three others which read: "Washington, D.C., Y.M.C.A. to Chicago." I was told that I would not make it, but I'll tell you just what happened. A Mr. Joseph Thurston of Washington picked me up at Rock Creek Bridge, rode me to the main highway leading out of the city and wished me luck. From that point beyond the D.C. line I walked about one half hour until another young man gave me a lift to Rockville, Md. I was not of his car ten minutes before a white farmer gave me a six-mile ride, during which time he talked very cheerfully. He wished me luck and departed at 8:35. I kept hiking up the road toward Frederick until 11:15 when two Howard students riding in a roadster answered my pleading hail and we rode together to Wheeling, W. Va., arriving at 6:30 that evening. They were stopping in Bridgeport, Ohio, so they left me in Wheeling to spend the night. No Y.M.C.A. in Wheeling I soon located the Y.W.C.A. and learned that there was no Y.M.C.A. in Wheeling. The secretary of the Y.W.C.A., Miss E. Essie White, welcomed me in and said that she would get me a place to spend the night. I told her that I wouldn't want it until late because I wished to see the town. While walking through the town purchasing cards and stamps, my "garb" attracted much attention, I was stopped and questioned several times and was told that I was the first colored hitchhiker seen passing through the town. On returning to the Y.W.C.A. to write the cards I met a real pal, a former Howard student and classmate, "Pete" Campbell, who welcomed me to his home to spend the night. His mother, Mrs. William Campbell, made me most welcome to her beautiful home, seated high upon a hill overlooking the whole town. Her daughter entertained me while she prepared a room and dinner which made me feel greatly at home. Six-thirty Sunday morning found Mrs. Campbell up preparing a breakfast for me that I might make an early start as I had planned. I greeted her "good morning" while the day was yet young, and hiked across the Ohio River into Bridgeport, over the mountain, and continued up the highway. Noon found me having had only one short ride and very weary and tired. I stopped and ate at a white lunch room undiscriminated. Then started again on my way. I was not out ten minutes before the two Howard men passed and gave me another lift into Zanesville. Again at one-thirty I was hiking out U.S. highway No. 40 headed toward Columbus, Ohio. About 3:30 P.M. it started to rain. I had 47 miles ahead of me. I stopped under a shed about half an hour during the hardest rain, but as it seemed not to stop, I started again in the rain to reach my goal. At 4:30 a young white man stopped to give me a lift. He was a college man and his first words were: "I don't know why these people pass you up. I think colored fellows are as good as white. I work with several in a plant and I like them better than I like the white fellows that I work with." I sat and listened. He continued after seeing the Howard pennant that I wore. "Are you a college man? What are you studying?" I replied: "Yes, a student at Howard University, studying religion and social service." He said, "That's great, don't stop boy, I wish I had continued." Then I told him that I worked my way through and had no idea of quitting. He soon reached the place where he was to turn off and I was walking in the rain again. It was about five o'clock so I stopped to get a sandwich in a highway lunch room. I was not out of the lunch room 15 minutes before three ladies drove up and blew their horn at me and asked me where I had been. They said they drove back twelve miles looking for me and wanted to know if I would take a ride on the trunk carrier as there was no room inside. I most gladly accepted and before we had gone a mile the rain began to pour down again. They stopped and offered me an umbrella, but I refused because it would have been too difficult to sit on the trunk carrier, hold on, and carry an umbrella too. I laid close to the back of the car and didn't get very wet because the rain was blowing from the west. Six o'clock found us in the city limits, so I got off and they instructed me how to find the colored Y.M.C.A. and at seven I was there. The clerk welcomed me. I took a hot shower and was sent out to dinner, then given a good room, some stationery, and asked if I desired anything more. There I spent another pleasant night while my few wet things dried in the lower locker room. And again I arose early, had breakfast, and began the day with a hard long hike.

WEBB It takes a smart, good, old-fashioned girl, To make a preacher lay his Bible down. **** MODERN MAIDS AND MODERN MANNERISMS Being'an apostle of certain stand pat old-fashioned doctrines and traditions that were peculiarly adhered to by the girls in grandmother's era, and which, consequently, I believe should be part and parcel of the characteristics and mannerisms of the modern maiden, I cannot help but voice a contrary sentiment or two to certain evil practices that have fallen into the categories of the present day flapper. I refer pointly to the smoking and drinking bouts that form the climaxes of the current round of parties that are given these days. I certainly do believe that a drink taken methodically and temporarily at the right time and place together with the inhaling of a cigarette or two during the course of an evening of pleasure by our young women should be enough to satiate any appetite that has an "itching" for these worldly things, and at the same time should occasion no cries of dismay nor wails of anguish from the Puritanic reformers. Yet, when an overindulgence of drinking and smoking tends to become "the smart thing to do" among the female element, I must (oh, yes, I must) lift this humble voice in protest and indignation. They tell me that this is a new age and that I am behind the times. I must "accustom myself" to these conditions. But, as for me, give me the old fashioned type of girl—whose his remains foreign to the taste of bath-tub' gin and cigarette juice.

WEEK-END NOTES The writer neglected to make mention last week of the near-heroic efforts of "Freck" Boone, erstwhile clerk in the Treasury Department, to save the life of a fellow-swimmer near Benedict, Maryland, a few weeks ago. The colorful Boone, who was at one time a promoter of dances for Washington's younger set, was also famed for being one of the investigators of the notorious Tattler sheet, a publication that "ranked" most of the popular social figures in and around Washington. "Freck" played a bit of basketball last winter with the Treasury Torpedoes, represented in the Colored Departmental League and at once attracted the attention of the cash customers with his unorthodox style of playing that never failed "to bring down the house." Gradually "Freck" advanced from this "green" stage of demonstrating his ability with the "large oval," to the extent that he loomed as one of the outstanding players in the league at the close of last season's play. This winter, if he continues his progress, he should undoubtedly prove to be a basketball figure to be reckoned with. Gilson Conrad, Washington's popular promoter of dances and high class bands announces that he will present the inimitable Edward (Duke) Ellington and his Cotton Club Aristocrats at the Masonic Hall on Wednesday, September 6, 1933... the writer predicts that a record breaking crowd will throng the auditorium on this occasion... John F. Harris, new manager of Francis Pool has won a world of praise from the cash customers who throng the "splash" auditorium these sultry days to "while" away a few hours or so in cool comfort. by dint of his amazing energy, courtesy and modesty in executing the managerial duties of this popular gathering place—More power to you. John. An Aviation School for Negroes The recently organized Hanson Aviation School for Negroes that will endeavor to tutor airminded Negroes in the technical as well as the practical phases of aviation promises to begin regular classes with the coming of the fall season. Thomas Jeter who is the publicity director of the school informed the writer that the proposed dedication of the airport at Forestville, Maryland, which was scheduled to take place in the early part of September, will most likely be postponed until a later date, inasmuch as the recent siege of "stormy weather" played havoc with the air field and adjoining territory. After the necessary repairs have been made to the grounds, it is planned to give the public an exhibition of skillful piloting and parachute jumping. No admission will be charged to the public.

Since the division opened August 1, 1932, when Congress appropriated $350,000 for unemployment relief in the District, it is conservatively estimated that 30,000 persons have registered at the bureau. Of this number, 10,000 have registered within the last 60 days, or since the beginning of the new fiscal year. Adds to Quarters The sudden increase in the number of so-called "clients" has prompted officials to extend the quarters in the old Metropolitan M. E. Church building located on the southwest corner, to a house at 453 C Street. Just across the street it is in this building that all the preliminary interrogation to determine the extent of the client's need is given. The information gotten here is relayed across the street to the "clearance house" where girls, having direct connection with other relief agencies and associations, sit at telephones all day, and without the loss of a minute ascertain whether or not the client is receiving aid from other sources and other valuable information is also gotten in this manner. If the client's case is declared to be satisfactory, a case worker is assigned to it and aid is immediately administered. This is known as an active case. Three Types of Aid Sometimes cash is given, sometimes a voucher to secure food from one of the well known chain stores or for the buying of coal is given, and in most cases a work slip entitling the bearer to two, three or four days' work at the municipal woodyard or at several other centers which are co-operating with the relief administration. The number of days' work given the client is determined by the seriousness of his particular case, or the number of persons dependent on him. For example, Mr. A, who has a wife and three children to support, would receive three days' work; Mr. B, who has only a wife and one child dependent on him, would get two days' work; and Mr. C, a single man, would be given only one day's work. Over 1,500 women have been given employment at the Banneker Sewing Center during the past year through this system. Divided Into Districts Washington is divided into 60 districts, with a case worker in charge of each district. Every cli l laid that or re-relatively goes people. August appropriation con-ent is a case in that particular district and is individually taken care of by the case worker in charge, and if he or she moves into another district the case is immediately transferred to the case worker in charge of that area. Occasionally, the districts become overcrowded, which necessitates a redividing of the city in order not to overburden any worker. RECIPES FOR CLUB AFT By GERTRUDE C. This food page is conducted recipes that have been tried and quickly prepared, and economical. Has Large Staff Besides these many case workers, seventeen of which are colored, there is a salaried staff of over 150 workers, and an additional fifty or sixty volunteer workers. This staff is a limited one mainly because the relief act provided that only ten per cent of the anpropriated money could be used for overhead. Leroy A. Halbert, in charge of the division, said in discussing the situation: "We are doing all we can with the limited funds." The system of operation of the relief association was related to a Tribune reporter by J. W. M. Austin, a worker in the accounting department. THE PRESIDENT TO SEND SPECIAL ENVOY TO HAWAII HONOLULU, Hawaii. — There are well-grounded rumors here that President Roosevelt will send to the islands a personal envoy to investigate the court and police situation of Hawaii. The object apparently is to get sufficient data to justify the President in again pressing for an amendment to the organic act that will permit him to have a freer hand in the selection of a governor and in other matters. Such an amendment, fathered by Representative Rankin, of Mississippi, last spring in Congress, was defeated in the Senate in the closing days of the session. BEAUTY HINTS BY NINA TEMPLE TWO FOES TO BEAUTY There are two big enemies that women have to fight in order to be beautiful. They are white bread and white sugar, for both of these articles ruin the health—and with health gone, beauty fades away. The white flour clogs the stomach, it balls up into dough and gums up the works. Use whole wheat bread. White sugar clogs the kidneys and causes acidity; use brown sugar or honey. Heed these two advices if you value your beauty. RECIPES FOR HOME AND CLUB AFFAIRS By GERTRUDE C.

Fruit Juice Prevents Scurvy The measure of the amount of carbohydrates, fats, proteins and mineral salts in our food as an index of healthy living has given way in recent years to vitamins. Although we have much to learn about these mysterious little elements in food, one of the certain facts we understand about them is that their presence will prevent deficiency diseases. "Deficiency diseases are merely troubles brought on by the lack of certain 'life' elements in our food," says the Minnesota Public Health Association Journal. "Rickets, beri-beri, scurvy and several other conditions are such types of trouble. "Add the missing 'life' element or vitamine to the diet—and the deficiency disease usually disappears in a very prompt manner. "Of this group of diseases, scurvy of infants is both important and common. It usually comes on between the sixth and eighteenth months or during the eruption of the teeth, and almost exclusively in those not breast fed. "An infant raised on 'patent' foods for several months without addition of fresh foods is very apt to have scurvy. "The chief sign of scurvy is tenderness, sometimes accompanied by swelling of the legs. There are so few other causes of tender legs in small babies that a mother can be fairly certain that her baby has scurvy if it cries with pain each time its legs are moved. "The gums often become swollen and purple and bleed easily. The signs very much resemble rheumatism, rickets or infantile paralysis, before a case of seurify reaches the point where it is recognized. During all this time there is a certain undermining of the general health. "Sourvie is caused by a lack in the diet of vitamine C. The antiscorbutic vitamine. This is especially found in fresh milk, fruit juices and vegetables. "When milk is boiled too long this vitamine is either destroyed entirely or rendered less efficient. When it is pasteurized it may be reduced to some extent—authorities differ. "There is no objection to feeding the child on pasteurized or boiled milk, provided fruit juice is also given. Oranges, lemons and tomatoes have a superabundant supply of this vitamine which will make up for the lack of it in boiled or pasteurized milk. "We find, therefore, that giving an ounce of orange juice a day to the baby will usually cure scurry in a short time. The juice of raw tomatoes is also very good for this purpose. Heated, dried or canned tomatoes are of use, but some of the vitamine principle has been destroyed." Saturday's Menu (Suggestion: The peaches can be sliced and served with lemon juice, to which a tiny bit of water has been added, and sugar; or, they can be served whole.) Lunch Cabbage, carrot and tomato salad with mayonnaise. Suggestion: Uncooked cabbage should be used for the salad. Cut the cabbage head in quarters and soak in salted water to cover, for one-half hour. Also the leaves may be separated and then washed in cold water; then, either shredded or chopped. Cooked carrots are suggested. Grated raw ones may be used to dress up the salad after it is prepared. The person who sent in this menu did not send directions as to how to make the custard and our how to make the custard, but cornstarch pudding may be used instead, and in that case directions will be found on the box. Dinner Lamb stew with onions, carrots, celery, potatoes. Brown the lamb (in a hot pan with a little melted fat), add onions (being careful not to burn), when brown add some flour for gravy (stir the mixture until it is thick and creamy) then add hot water (gradually, stirring slowly until it is nice and thick), then add rest of vegetables. Little white onions are good to use. **** We are told that there is a possible danger to the health in eating too much cereal, and that bran and cellulose (indigestible, woody or stringy substance, such as that in pineapple or cabbage) when taken in too large quantities, cause trouble in the stomach and bowels. We are told, too, that if we must use a great deal of cereal, plenty of milk should be added. There is plenty of milk to be had and every mother should fight for enough relief to include milk for her children and those of her neighbors.

Mix together one cupful of boiled squash that has been mashed and put through a collander, two tablespoonfuls of minced celery, one teaspoonful of salt and sugar, one tablespoonful of onion juice, one-fourth teaspoonful of pepper and a pinch of mace. Prepare two tablespoonfuls of butter and flour mixed together. Add a little of a quart of milk, stir until well blended, then add the -emainder and heat slowly. Beat the squash until light and mix with the other ingredients. Heat very hot and serve at once. The Peppy Pimentos The personality in food is supplied in various ways, first its appearance, next its taste, then, of course, its food value, which appeals to the calories counter. When food is dull, lacking in color, tastiness, is insipid, look to the little Spanish pepper to give zest to your dishes. The flavor of the pimento is not its only attraction; the color adds brilliance to an otherwise dull dish. The little pepper comes packed in several sizes so that if one serves two, a small bottle is provided, and when it is to be the chief ingredient there is the seven-ounce can. For stuffing, one may use any desired mixture. The peppers should be drained, placed in muffin pans, and they are ready to be filled. Pimentons Stuffed Cook one small onion (chopped), one stalk of celery also chopped in two tablespoonfuls of fat until tender. Add one-half pound of round steak (ground), salt, pepper, and a dash of cayenne to season, and cook five minutes; remove from the heat, add three-fourths of a cupful of cooked rice, one slightly heaten egg; mix well and fill the peppers. Bake until brown. Savory Sandwiches Take a small can of pimentos, three and one-half ounce size, chop after draining, add one-fourth cupful of peanut butter, one-fourth cupful of sweet pickle, and one-fourth cupful of mayonnaise. Chop the pickle and mix all to- together, adding salt to taste. Spread on lightly buttered bread and cut into desired form. Pimento Canapé Split pimentos after draining, using a seven-ounce can. Sprinkle the inner surface with salt and cayenne. Place a rectangular slice of cheese lengthwise of the pepper and roll up. Skewer with toothpicks securely. Roll in flour, cook in a small amount of fat three minutes or until the cheese melts and the flour browns. Serve on oval slices of toast or toast well buttered and baked.

In the meantime cook the chopped parsley in 1 tablespoon of butter and combine with the beef, suet, crumbs, and seasonings. Knead until thoroughly mixed. Mold into seven flat cakes and wrap each with a slice of bacon. Place each cake on an onion slice in the baking dish, and broil under direct heat for five minutes on each side.

LAST RITES FOR DR. LUCY MOTEN HELD MONDAY LAST RITES FOR DR. LUCY MOTEN HELD MONDAY Funeral services for Dr. Lucy E. Moten, former principal of Miner Normal School, were held Monday morning from the McGuire Funeral Parlors at Ninth and Westminster Streets, Northwest. The Rev. Francis J. Grimke, former pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, where the deceased had been a member for a half century, delivered the eulogy. Interment was at Harmony Cemetery. A victim of an automobile accident, Dr. Moten died last Thursday in New York City, where she had been living during late years. She was nearly 80 years of age. Studied at Howard A native of Virginia, Dr. Motten came to Washington with her parents at an early age. She attended Howard University before a college department was developed, went North to the Salem, Mass. Normal School, from which she graduated in 1876. She attended the Spencerian Business College and later received a medical degree at Howard University. She began teaching in the local elementary schools, became principal of the John F. Cook School, then the outstanding elementary school in the city. Through the influence of the late Fredrick Douglass, member of the board of education, she was appointed principal at Miner Normal School, where she served for 35 years, retiring in 1920. After her retirement she circled the globe. During her travels she studied elocution, art and music under private tutors. Dr. Moton's ability drew from the late William T.

ELECTED COP CALLED DOWN FOR CALLING TAXI DRIVER "NIGGER" James E. Lee Charges Officer Used Abusive Language Accused of cursing and calling a local cab driver a "dam nigger," Policeman R. R. Klotz, of the Ninth Precinct, was given a verbal reprimanding by Inspector A. D. Headley, of the Third Police District, Wednesday. The taxi driver, James E. Lee, of 920 Westminster Street, Northwest, lodged his complaint against the policeman in the office of E. W. Brown, major and superintendent of police, Friday, after he had been arrested and charged with investigation. In his complaint Lee charged that the officer arrived at the corner of Thirteenth and D Streets, Northeast, to investigate the theft of several cases of beer from an Arlington Bottling Company truck. Acting on an accusation made by the truck driver, whose name was not learned, the policeman questioned Lee concerning the stealing, and despite the fact that Lee informed him that he was not present when the beer was stolen and knew nothing about it, Klotz arrested him. En route to the station house Klotz is alleged to have cursed him and called him a "dam nigger." The cab company for which Lee works maintains a box at the corner. Headley Investigates Following Lee's complaint to headquarters, Inspector Headley investigated and ordered the taxi driver to appear in his office at the Fourth Precinct, Wednesday, for a hearing. According to Headley, Klotz denied that he called Lee the offensive name. The inspector also stated that the case lacked sufficient evidence for trial board action. In disposing of the case he said he would give the policeman a verbal reprimanding. BALTO.

PROPHET JONES DOOMS CAPITAL Veteran Foreseer Prophesied Many Calamities in Last 50 Years The noted prophet Andrew Jones is in Washington with a message of warning from God to the inhabitants of the nation's capital. Jones, who opened a series of sermons at the Friendship Baptist Church, First and H Streets, Southwest, Sunday night, declared that if the people hope for the return of prosperity they must turn from their sins and leave theatres and dance halls and hasten to the church. The prophet says that God is greatly displeased with the conduct of the people of this earth. They are moving rapidly into the spirit of the antediluvian people who insulted God to the extent that his patience became exhausted with them, and he sent a flood and destroyed all the people on the face of the earth except Noah and his family. Four Cities in Peril Prophet Jones then said, "The future is loaded with calamities." He declared that there are four cities doomed to destruction—Washington, New York, Boston and Chicago—unless they repent. He quoted the Bible, "Righteousness exalteth a nation and sin is a reproach to any people." Jones continued with the statement that if people don't mind their ways they will find themselves with money in their pockets and no food to buy, for one of the greatest families the world has ever known is on its way to the United States to destroy man and beast from the face of the earth. That is what will happen if they do not repent, he said. Prophesied World War Prophet Jones is seventy-nine years old and has a national reputation for his correct predictions. He is the man who prophesied the Johnstown flood in 1889, an earthquake at Charleston, S.C., in 1886, the World War and the depression. He also predicted the series of hurricanes which have swept the South in recent years. Following his services at Friendship Church, which close Friday night, Prophet Jones will preach at the Shiloh Baptist Church Sunday morning, and the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church, Sunday night. D.C.

Glenn also asserts that he returned to New Orleans last January, and learned that his wife was living with a Frank Hitson, employed in the railroad yards, as man and wife. He also stated that his wife was now known as Pearl Hitson. THEATERS SPORTS GROUP IN ANNUAL SESSION SUNDAY AT ST. AUGUSTINE President Stresses Need of More Emphasis on Common Accords The ninth annual meeting of the Bederated Colored Catholics was held here, Sunday. The meeting opened with mass at St. Augustine's Church, Fifteenth Street, near M, Northwest, where the Rev. Father Rankin delivered a short sermon which served both as a welcome address and advice to those assembled. After the mass, the congregation, including both local and out-of-town representatives, went to St. Augustine's Auditorium, at Fifteenth and R Streets, Northwest, to begin the business session of the meeting. William A. Prater, president of the Washington group of the federation, called the meeting to order at 12 noon. In the absence of Father A. J. Olds, the pastor of St. Augustine's Church, the invocation and opening prayer was said by the Rev. Father King. This was followed by the singing of "America" by the audience. Professor E. A. Clark, president of Miner Teachers' College, was presented to the group. He made a very brief talk, stressing three important points and presenting Dr. Thomas W. Turner, the national president, who made the principal address. Dr. Turner Addresses Group In the principal speech of the session Dr. Thomas W. Turner; of Hampton Institute, president, emphasized the accomplishments and the aims of the federation. He said: "We have been greatly concerned about certain criticisms often made in regards to the Catholic Negro population and to Catholic Negro leaders. Frequently has the assertion been made that these leaders do not speak in the language or vocabulary of the church. "Much of this criticism is not unfounded, but the conditions complained of could hardly be otherwise since practically all educated Catholic Negroes have been compelled to receive their training in non-Catholic institutions. It is a sacred duty, then, of all who gather here to join every possible effort to prevent future generations of Negro Catholics from falling under the same handicap." Dr. Turner also said: "It behooves us to be concerned less and less with the differences that may be found among us and to place more and more emphasis upon the things which we all have in common as Catholics." Constitution Adopted The constitution which was adopted stated the object of the federation was to bring about a closer union and better feeling among all Catholics; to advance the cause of all Catholic education throughout the Negro population; to seek to raise the general status of the Negro in the church; and to stimulate Catholic Negroes to a larger participation in racial and civic affairs of the various communities and the whole country. The federation unanimously voted to have an official organ which they will publish quarterly, the name of which will be "The Voice, a Journal of Catholic Negro Opinion." Officers Named The following officers were elected: President, Dr. Thomas W. Turner, Hampton, Va.; first vice-president, G. A. Henderson, Pittsburgh, Pa.; second vice-president, E. A.

All officers were unanimously reelected. The closing night of the convention was climaxed with a brilliant military ball at the Eighth Infantry Armory building. It was indeed a "Century of Progress" for the American Negro. The Pythian Temple Commission met Monday to insure the preparations for housing the mee of the progressive fraternity. Tuesday morning the majestic building was gaily decorated with flags and bunting. The very buildig itself was inspiring. It represented a racial achievement. The business sessions of the order began Tuesday morning and continued until Thursday. At the opening of the conference S. W. Green, supreme chancellor, presided. The biennial report of the secretary of the endowment department for the fiscal year which ended June 30 read in part: Endowment Department Pressed "Like every business enterprise in this country, this department of the order has felt very keenly the heavy hand of the nation-wide depression. "Many members have fallen out of the order, not from lack of love and interest, but because they could not carry on. Members have died in this time of depression as they did in days of prosperity. "In the face of these facts the endowment department has striven earnestly to maintain its integrity, protect its members and justify their continued confidence." The total credit for the endowment department are $168,795.40. Total death claims filed aggregated a sum of $10,090. Officers The names of the officers elected by a unanimous vote and installed were: S. W. Green, New Orleans, supreme chancellor; Dr. C. B. Wickham of Oklahoma, supreme vice chancellor; the Rev. J. H. Nabrit of Georgia, supreme prelate; Dr. E. Underwood of Kentucky, keeper of the seal; T. G. Nutter of West Virginia, supreme master of exchequer; J.

Smith, of Texas, supreme inner guard; H. A. White of Iowa, outer guard; F. B. Smith of Louisiana, assistant supreme keeper of records. MEMPHIS, Tenn. (N.J.ACP)—Negroes are complaining here that the Memphis appraiser of the Home Owners' Loan corporation is openly prejudiced against colored applicants for aid to save their homes. The appraiser, Percy Galbreath, is quoted by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal as saying in effect that properties owned by Negroes were not eligible for federal aid because Negroes owed too much on the principal whereas white property owners were eligible to receive aid from the government. Galbreath said he found Negroes who had paid only $200 on the principal of a $2,000 investment and owed as much as $300 in taxes. He said nothing about the white people except that they were eligible for relief. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, after receiving a report from its Memphis branch, wrote to William F. Stevenson, Washington, D.C., chairman of the Federal Home Loan Bank board, pointing out the evident prejudice of Appraiser Galbreath and asking fairer consideration for Negro applicants, appointment of Negro appraisers or at least of appraisers whose mids were not made up as soon as they saw the color of the applicant. The N.A.A.C.P. charged Negro home buyers in many sections had been overcharged on the purchase prices of their homes and had had special interest rates applied to them as well as high premiums for refinancing. The association also cited reports that in many cities poor Negroes had had their homes sold in foreclosures without, their knowledge, and had continued to pay the monthly or weekly amounts in the belief they were still buying their homes. The association cited the startling revelations of trickery, cheating and overcharging after the tornado of September, 1827, swept through the Negro district of St. Louis, Mo. Summer suits and sports costumes, with jackets contrasting with the color of the skirt, are being worn. elected for the Pythian Temple and the $400,000 sanitarium in Hot Springs, Ark., are Lee Crawford of New York; W. H. Randolph of Mississippi; J. R. Jefferson of West Virginia; S. D. McGill of Florida; H. M. St. Clair, Maryland; W. H. Porter of Indiana. Edward D. Green of Illinois is secretary of that body. The members of the finance committee elected were: Robert Zeno of New York and W. F. Cozart of New Jersey. CALANTHIANS TO LABOR FOR MORALITY AND HEALTH The Supreme Court, Order of Calanthe of the Knights of Pythias, concluded its three-day session, Thursday night, in the National Pythian Temple All officers were unanimously re-elected. Dr. C. B. Wickham, supreme worthy counselor, presided. Peace reigned supreme throughout the conclave and plans were made for the meeting of the order in Rochester, N.Y., next year. The high point of the Supreme Court session was the creation of a national organized health and hygiene course for members of the order. The women are to be schooled in health and hygiene measures for a given period. They are to receive certificates of honor. It was pointed out that this action may serve as a preventive for a large number of death within the race and elevate the health status of the group. Another important highlight of the parley was the organization of a national oratorical contest. The organization, realizing the need of reform in the morals of the nation today, will do its share to decrease immorality. A plan will soon be launched to teach children the wisdom of a moral code. Women Win Equality After waging a fight for more than 25 years, the women of the Supreme Court of Calanthe won equal representation and vote on the Supreme Temple Commission. The office elected are: Dr. C. B. Wickham, supreme counselor; Mrs. F. K. McPherson, supreme worthy inspector; Mrs. Cora Allen, supreme worthy directress; Mrs. E. J. Collier of Florida, supreme worthy orator; Mrs. Rosa E. Heard of Illinois, supreme register of deeds; Mrs. Bertha T. Buckner, supreme receiver of deposits; Mrs. Julie Richardson of Kentucky, supreme conductress; Mrs. Rose E. Blocker of New York, supreme assistant conductress; Mrs. Katie W. Jones, New Jersey, supreme worthy escort; Mrs. P. L. Pottsdamer of Florida, junior directress; Mrs. Elizabeth K. Dodd, Maryland, herald; Mrs. A. E. Walker of California, projector. Those elected to the Pythian Temple Commission were: Mesdames F. K. McPherson, Rebecca T. Johnson, E. J. Collier, Rose E. Hoard and A. L. Green. Pepsodent Co. Thinks Negroes "Imagine" Insults NEW YORK.—Harlow P. Roberts, advertising manager of the Pepsodent Company, toothpaste manufacturers, thinks Negroes "imagine" insults. He has so written the N.A.A.C.P. in answer to the association's letter suggesting that the use of the words "colored tourist camp" by Amos 'n' Andy was harmful to colored people. The association made no ripsnorting protest, but said that when Amos 'n' Andy broadcast their recent automobile trip from New York to the Chicago fair and stayed every night in a "colored tourist camp" the idea was created in the minds of millions of listeners that Negro tourists have special tourist camps. The N.A.A.C.P. pointed out that Negro automobile tourists have a hard enough time as it is securing accommodations on the highway without having the idea planted that they must be segregated into "colored" tourist camps. Manager Roberts, being white and never travelled across the country as a Negro, thinks this idea "imaginary." American Federation of Labor Jogged on Discrimination NEW YORK—William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, in the League's third appeal to him for action to do away with discriminations in labor unions against Negroes, has been asked to form a commission that will hear and adjust charges against labor groups practicing restrictions against Negroes. Appealing to him not only as the president of the federation but as a member of the Labor Advisory Board of the NRA and the President's National Industrial Mediation Board, to adjust strike difficulties, he was exhorted to apply the principle of conciliation advocated by these two groups to the dispute that are arising in connection with Negro workers in the trade union movement. A.M.E.BISHOPS LOSE SECOND OUSTER FIGHT The Rev. L. L. Berry Wins Right to Continue in Missions Post (From the Amsterdam News) (From the Amsterdam News) For the second time in as many months, the courts of the State of New York have overruled the Bishops' Council, highest tribunal in the A.M.E. Church, in that body's efforts to oust the Rev. Dr. L. L. Berry as denominational secretary of missions. The church fathers sought to replace the Rev. Mr. Berry with the Rev. Carl L. Flipper, son of Bishop J. S. Flipper, senior member of the council. The tribunal's second and probably final, setback in the church fight came Friday when Attorney-General John J. Bennett denied the petition of the Rev. Mr. Flipper to assume office and exercise the functions of the secretary of missions. Justice Bernard L. Shientg of the Supreme Court denied a similar petition when it was argued before him in June. The Rev. Mr. Berry, elected on April 11 to succeed the late Rev. E. H. Coit, was ordered out of office by the Bishops' Council in June when that body met at Wilberforce, Ohio, and revised several decisions of Bishop William H. Heard of the First Episcopal district. Rev. Berry, contending that he had been elected by the missionary department and not appointed, refused to accept the ruling and continued in his office. The courts have twice upheld him in his action. Attorney Harry G. Bragg, who represented the minister in the first action, declared that any further attempt on the part of the council or the Rev. Mr. Flipper to interfere with the management of the department or to withhold funds from it will be enjoined by the courts of any state in which such an attempt is made. State Corporation. The missionary department of the A.M.E. Church was incorporated in the State of New York in 1914. The charter provides that the headquarters of the department shall be in New York City and that seven directors shall direct and control its affairs but that the officers of the corporation shall be the same as set forth in the "Doctrine and Discipline of the A.M.E. Church." Mr. Bragg explained that being incorporated in New York, the board of managers of the department must be governed by the general corporation laws of the state which provide that where members of the board of a New York corporation are absent from the jurisdiction of the state, a majority of a quorum is sufficient to conduct a valid meeting. A quorum may be made by a proxy vote. At the Rev. Mr. Berry's election, eight members of the board was present and three sent proxies. In incorporated bodies, laws governing corporations always supersede church or any other organization law. DR. C. P. DIXON HOLDS BAPTISM IN POTOMAC RIVER Dr. Calvin P. Dixon, pastor of the Evangelical Christian Mission, baptized 75 persons in the Potomac River at the foot of Seventh Street, Southwest, Sunday afternoon.

Brodie, of Baltimore, will preach in the afternoon, and Dr. Dixon will occupy the pulpit at the night service. In Baltimore Monday night, Dr. Dixon will open a revival at the Holy Temple Evangelical Church Church. White Mississippian Appointed as Judge for Virgin Islands For the Associated Negro Press T. Webber Wilson, white, for two years a Mississippi representative in Congress, was appointed Wednesday to a position as United States District judge in the Virgin Islands. The position pays $7,500 a year. On the same day that Wilson was appointed, word was received here of a murder at St. Croix in the Virgin Islands, the first in many years. A problem was created because there was no judge in the islands to try the murderer. The Virgin Islands courts are under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice, and St. Croix has been awaiting eight months the appointment of a new judge. The murder, of one Puerto Rican by another, caused great consternation, as few are ever committed in the Virgin Islands, although more than 90 per cent of the population is colored. 8:30 a.m. - Sunday School 8:30 a.m. - Morning Service 8:30 p.m. - B.Y.P.U 8:30 p.m. - Evening Service.

OUR MAIL (Continued from page 4) Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands any casual visitor to these islands can testify to the deplorable state of affairs. We have plenty of reports in the Congressional Library to further substantiate the good doctor's statement. But these conditions are not of American origin. They are the direct result of poor management on the part of the government ruling these unfortunate and misunderstood islands for centuries. The moment the natives of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands make up their minds that they really want to live under conditions better than they are now living under, from that very moment their conditions will begin to improve. For centuries the inhabitants of these islands have been basking in the glorious sun of the tropics, patting themselves on the back with their silly notion of being superior to other people because of centuries of "European culture" and mis-education. Put a man like Mussolini in charge of Cuba, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands for ten years and then watch the appalling conditions vanish as if by magic. I should like to suggest to Dr. Price and others interested in the Negro that they visit the island of Tobago, B.W.I., and see for themselves just what the Negro in the West Indies can do for himself, once he is given a fair chance. The inhabitants of Tobago are happy and prosperous. Nearly everyone owns his own farm upon which is raised cotton, rubber, cocoa and numerous tropical products, also sufficient live stock. With the exception of the islands governed by Great Britain, most of the islands have been badly managed, both by natives and foreigners. In our own case we had better stop playing politics with the government of Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. It is high time for us to work out a definite program for the development and government of our insular dependencies or we shall have to continue listening to Dr. Price and others about our affairs. A FORMER VIRGIN ISLANDER. Sororities and Fraternities are Self-Centered Social Cliques. To the Editor: Your editorial, "Are Sororites Worth While?" brings out some interesting points in regard to the value of a sorority or fraternity to a community. Any organization to have any civic or social value should seek to help or make it easier for all on a campus or in a community, but instead Greek letter organizations seek to set up a social caste system, and a selfish political ring on college campuses. In communities the graduate chapters are just self-centered social satellites. The organization on a whole makes no effort to better the civic or social conditions of the communities in general—something which is sorely needed in most Negro communities. It is useless and silly for anyone to say that Greek letter organizations are worth while to a community by citing the achievements of individuals who are mem- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Vital Statistics After 50 Years . . .

R, H, FORD, (ex-Howard Student). EDITOR'S NOTE—Another letter on the sorority matter received too late for publication this week. Suggests Prayer to Diminish Crime To the Editor: Read St. Matthew 7:12. I am asking all Christian people that believe in prayer, to take the cause of worldly crime to our God; pray without ceasing. The President of the United States is doing all that he can and has done great work in a short time, but he can not see the evil hearts of those whom he may trust. But God can see the hearts of everyone. You have sent in petitions and have had trials with no results. I do not believe that all men who have been strung up and hurt by cruel mobs are guilty of crime. If the king of hearts were out and met a mob they would seek shelter. Look at the Scottsboro boys. I do not believe that they are guilty. If men and women only knew, their crimes are the cause of kidnappers, robbers and the thieves of all kinds, for the sins of our fathers shall fall upon the children of the third and fourth generations. Capture a thief and wash the dirt from him and prove him guilty then punish him according to the laws of our land. The shortest answer to temptation is the best. Do not parley.

SHERIFF ACCUSED IN LYNCHING capness of Negro Life in Alabama was brought sharply to the attention of the Department of Justice, Thursday, when Federal prosecution of a sheriff of that state on charges of criminal negligence and complicity in the lynching of two youths was demanded of Attorney General Cummings by a group of legal and moral representatives. The accused sheriff is R. L. Shamblin, of Tuscaloosa County, Ala. While under his care, Dan Pippen, Jr., 17, and A. T. Hardin, 15, were shot to death, while Elmore Clark, 28, was wounded, August 13. Before seeing Mr. Cummings, the groun was waited upon by Assistant to the Attorney General Stanley. Charles H. Houston, vicedean of the Howard Law School and representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Allan Taub, white, one of the International Labor Defense attorneys who was run out of Tuscaloosa by a mob when he attempted to appear as counsel for the lynched prisoners, headed the deligation. Judge Shows Hostility Mr. Taub related his two narrow escapes from the blood-thirsty Alabama mob. He also told of the attitude of the Southern judge who intimated that the case should not be another "Scottsboro Case," and showed hostility to the International Labor Defense attorneys. In his recital to Mr. Stanley, Mr. Taub also stated that the sheriff was moving the prisoners from Tuscaloosa to Birmingham without the knowledge of the presiding judge, for "safe keeping." A lonely road was chosen by the sheriff. After proceeding a few miles, an auto containing deputies turned back. This left only the sheriff and two deputies to protect the three prisoners. When two cars carrying the lynchers appeared and demanded the prisoners, the sheriff gave them up. Stating the government's importance if there were no Federal statutes broken, Mr. Stanley asked for further evidence. Mr. Taub presented a brief of the complaint and assured the assistant attorney general that affidavits and such other information as was necessary could be obtained when desired. Federal Law Cited Mr. Houston, also a representative of the Washington Scottsboro Action Committee, contended that the Federal statute had been abused and cited Sections 51 and 52 of the U. S. Criminal Code. Miss A. M. Detzer, white, representing the International League of Peace and Freedom, secured Mr. Stanley's undivided attention by several statements she was unable to conclude by reason of interruption. Are Rich Fayored? Miss Detzer raised the issue that the Federal government had taken vigorous action to prevent kidnapping because the rich were involved. She quizzed whether or not officials failed to take the same action in regard to lynching because the victims were poor Negroes. She was hastily interrupted by Mr. Stanley who declared that the question of wealth did not enter into their administrating of justice. According to him, their chief concern was whether or not a Federal law had been broken. Sympathy is Expressed After an interval, the delegation was ushered in before Attorney General Cummings. He greeted each person with a warm hand-shake upon his or her introduction by Mr. Houston. Mr. Stanley stated to his chief the purpose of the delegation and declared that he would later present details of the case as told to him. Mr. Cummings pledged his sympathy to the plea of the delegation, also immediate investigation to determine whether or not a Federal statute had been broken. Moral Issues Involved Bishop E. D. W. Jones, who was profusely greeted by Mr. Cummings with a "We have met before," called the latter's attention to the fact that there were moral as well as legal issues involved in the lynching. Names of Delegates Included in the delegation were: Charles H. Houston, Allan Taub; Carol W. King, white, secretary of the International Juridical Association, New York; Max Posner, white, LL.D, attorney, and wife, New York; Bishop E. D. W. Jones, of the A.M.E. Zion Church; Edward Kuntz, white, New York; Nelson H. Nichols. William H. Hastie, Samuel Goldberg, white, New York; Frank Adams, Bedford V. Lawson, Jr. E. T. Sanders; Edward P. Lovett, associated with Mr. Houston in a recent investigation in the South; E. W. Baker, of the Washington Tribune staff; Charles E. Mullen and John G. White, both white, of Philadelphia, and Frederick French. Among those who conferred with the delegation prior to its appearance before the attorney general were: Augustus W. Gray, president of the D.C.Bar Association; John H. Wilson, J. Flipper, and James G. Tyson. Statute is Quoted The statute requiring Federal intervention in the case, cited by Mr. Houston, follows: Section 51 (Criminal Code, Section 19.) Conspiracy to Injure Persons in Exercise of Civil Rights. If two or more persons conspire to injure, oppress, threaten, or intimidate any citizens in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him, by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, or if two or more persons go in disguise on the highway, or on the premises of another, with intent to prevent or hinder his free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege so secured, they shall be fined not more than $5,000 and imprisoned not more than ten years, and shall, moreover, be thereafter ineligible to any office, or place of honor, profit, or trust created by the Constitution of the United States. Section 52. (Criminal Code, Section 20.) Depriving Citizens of Civil Rights Under Color of State Laws.—Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects, or causes to be subjected, any inhabitant of any State, Territory, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution and laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such inhabitant being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, then are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall; be fined not more than $1,000, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Mr. Randolph will conduct a special missionary mass meeting at Friday's session. LIQUIDATION SOUGHT they had made informal overtures to four companies (all white) to determine whether or not they could reinsure certain policies with them. The companies named were: the Metropolitan Life, New York; Life and Casualty, Nashville; National Life and Accident, Nashville; Washington National, Chicago. None of the companies operating in the territory in which the present modified business is located will negotiate with the receivers for purchase or reinsurance of said business at this time, the petition states. It is further added that it is impractical to attempt to sell or to reinsure the said business. The petition also says: "During the period in which these receivers have been engaged in the modification of policies of insurance and in the conduct of said modified business, their efforts to hold said business together and to preserve the business of the defendant corporation for rehabilitation or reorganization have been considerably hampered at all stages by actions of self-appointed committees and individuals who have solicited the policyholders for powers of attorneys without submission to these receivers of any constructive plan for rehabilitation. Negro Press Accused "The factional disputes have continued and an antagonistic attitude toward the efforts of the receivers to preserve this business has been exhibited by many persons and groups whose actions secured considerable publicity in the Negro press. By means of motions, petitions, and independent suits, the ordinary conduct of the business has been interrupted and a continual stream of adverse publicity has been fostered. "The direct result of such actions has been revealed by the dwindling of premium receipts following each of a series of attacks with the result that approximately 25,000 of the policies originally modified have lapsed." Have No Hopes The receivers assert further: "Although the modified business originally constituted a good basis for a new or reorganized company, the business cannot now continue indefinitely under the present situation which is causing lapsation and loss. Because of the fact that the business is scattered over many states, it is expensive to maintain and may not be permanently operated on an economical basis, unless it is added to the business of an existing company operating in the same territory, or unless it is added to a company free to make immediate solicitation of new business in the same territory." After stating a belief that the present policyholders are not in a position to subscribe to cash required for a new mutual company, the petition concludes that "there is no prespect, immediate or remote, for rehabilitation or reorganization of this insurance business and that all assets should be liquidated and applied to the payment of existing established claims." GROUP IN ANNUAL SESSION (Continued from page 9) Mrs. Charlotte Luckett, and William A. Prater. Before adjournment, the organization unanimously voted on several resolutions and the time for the next convention was set as August 25, 1934, to remain in session until the business was completed. The place was left undecided until the next meeting of the executive committee. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1933 by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES The writer of this column was recently sworn in as a messenger in the Commerce Department, although he is under the NRA payroll. * * * * Full many a day forever is lost By delaying its work till tomorrow; The minutes of sloth have often cost. A. David (Commerce Department) Peters, Owl Club Charter member, man-about-town, crooner, and a devotee of the Epicurean philosophy, is also a showman in part. It was none other than he who sold the Steeil Brothers on the idea of an amateur night and he has the books and other documentary evidence to prove it. I knew the headline in a theatrical section of a local paper which read "Shep Allen's Amateur Nights at Howard Go Over Big" must have burned him up. Love's prize possession is something which he refers to as the "Mayflower" and his particular weakness is for salted roasted peanuts. He has the enviable characteristic which spells success in the Federal service and in show business. I refer to his sense of humor. Lawson A. Moyer, new chief examiner of the Civil Service Commission, on last Tuesday took the oath of office for the position which combines with the duties of chief examiner those formerly entrusted to the secretary. The office of secretary, formerly held by C. A. Babcock, now in California, is abolished. Moyer is to be chief executive of the commission. The jobs were combined on recommendation of a survey by the Brookings Institution, on the ground that division of authority might lead to friction. Moyer is an ardent proponent of the merit system, and his selection for the office is looked upon as a victory over the spoilsmen Dr. Joseph Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio, denies that he is seeking or has sought the diplomatic post of minister plenipotentiary to Liberia and offers documentary proof to that effect. The Newshawk was misinformed. ***** Two young married messengers of the State Department were recently overheard discussing marriage. Says one: "What do you think of a man who will constantly deceive his wife?" Replied the other: "I think he is a wonder." ***** Which disbarred lawyer, who for a while was a power in Washington, is trying very hard to land a position as a guard in the Agriculture Department? He has a good chance of being appointed in the very near future. Albert (State Department) Rice, one of Washington's young intellectuals, was prominent among those present at a meeting of the New Negro Alliance. This organization is undoubtedly the best of its kind in America today and it behooves Washingtonians of color to inquire as to the ifs, whys and wherefors in connection with it. A few of its officers are John (Williams University) Davis, administrator; Franklin (N.Y.U.) Thorne and Howard (Harvard University) Fitzburg, deputy administrators; Belford (Michigan University) Lawson, legal adviser; Jesse (Howard University) Lewis, statistician; and Dutton (Howard University) Ferguson, publicity director. The fellows want it definitely understood that the organization is not meant to be a collegiate club or anything of that type. It just happens that some college trained men have warmed to the idea a bit quicker than some of the other young men approached to date. Mrs. Risher is prominent among the many young women who are exhibiting a healthy interest in the movement. Alvin (Coast Guard) Webb, Robert (Conservators) Smith, William (State Department) Steen and the writer are a few of the many federal employees of color who are doing volunteer work for the NKA. The writer was introduced to Charles Michaelson, the publicity director of the Democratic Committee, by the Commerce Department pressman Crogan, who liber- A. DAVID PETERS *** alized the press service at his department for Negro weekly reporters. Mr. Michaelson's assistant Mr. Jensen, who has offices at the Democratic National Committee has given the Newshawk many valuable tips in connection with creating an original style in writing. The only releases, now being issued, are mostly in connection with the NRA. NRA Administrator Hugh Johnson has not kicked the "I" out of "NIRA," but he has decided that "NRA" is easier to explain and more comprehensive. Mr. Johnson's latest bulletin explains that "NIRA" stands for National Industrial Recovery Act, the official title of the law, and "NRA" for National Recovery Administration, which consists of the men who administer the law. So he uses both. President Roosevelt, in his statement on June 16, outlined the policies of the National Recovery Administration. I rewrite two short extracts: "The law I have just signed was passed to put people back to work—to let them buy more or the products of farm and factories and start our business at a living rate again. This task is in two stages first, to get many hundreds of thousands of the unemployed back on the payroll by snowfall and second, to plan for a better future for the longer pull. While we shall not neglect the second, the first stage is an emergency job. It has the right of way. "In my inaugural I laid down the simple proposition that nobody is going to starve in this country. It seems to me to be equally plain that no business which depends for existence on paying less than living wages for its workers has any right to continue in this country. By business I mean the whole of commerce as well as the whole of industry; by workers I mean all workers—the white-collar class as well as the men in overalls; and by living wages I mean more than a bare subsistence level—I mean the wages of decent living." ... Robert (Justice Department) Vann, special assistant to the Attorney General, owes his appointment to the boss Democratic leader of Pittsburgh, Joseph F. Guffy. Mr. Guffy, who was the Democratic National Committeeman from Pennsylvania under Woodrow Wilson, not only boarded the Roosevelt band wagon two years ahead of the convention and held steadfast but also took to Chicago 49 Roosevelt delegates which was the biggest block the winning candidate had in the East. After the election he became one of the inner advisory council for the campaign. * * * * In one of the inner offices of a bureau of the Department of Commerce sits a handsome young man the epitome of culture who appears to be about twenty-six years of age. Any ordinary observer if told that this young man has long since finished from one of the outstanding universities in the country with many honors, had been secretary to one of the better statesmen in America, and was now successfully holding down one of the most difficult positions in the department, would probably be incredulous. Nevertheless, these things are true and in addition a laborer with a personnel problem is interviewed and his case is given as much consideration as a Senator's who is irked by the "unnecessary" delay in appointing one of his band wagon constituents. May his tribe increase. Alphonse (Bureau of Standards) Perkins, who is politically minded, has called the Newshawk's attention to the fact that representatives and senators are returning to Washington in increasing numbers. He sees two main reasons for this return here. They are: (1) to escape the patronage seekers, it being much harder for constituents to come to Washington than to see them in the old homestead; and (2) to see whether they can jar the Roosevelt Administration loose from more jobs. The reforestation workers are going on a wild gooseberry chase. Several thousand of the Civilian Conservation Corps will be set to work shortly to eradicate wild gooseberry and wild currant bushes, which serve as hosts to the blister rust that destroys white pine forests. The rust spends part of its life on the bushes before it attacks the pines.

At that time the justice took cognizance of the 200,000 poor policyholders, and held that the receivership should be continued a reasonable time to allow the policyholders to formulate some plan to rehabilitate the company. "It was the court's intention two years ago to save the company, and the court should not now abandon that purpose," declared Mr. Bovd. Repart 10 Months Late Relative to the rule to show why the receivers should not file a complete report up to and including August 15, 1933, Mr. Boyd stated: "They were ordered to file a report two years ago. Ten months later they filed a report, which, instead of showing the condition of the company at that time, covered a period of 15 months before. The report was as of September, 1931, and they were appointed in February, 1932." Mr. Boyd also called attention to the fact that the receivers said several months ago that a large amount of the insurance policies had been turned into modified business. He asked the court not to grant the petition to liquidate the company and abandon the persons who accepted this form of insurance at the direction of the receivers. Only Whites Approached At this point, the attorney again appealed to the court to save the company for the colored group. He referred to the receivers' petition which mentioned four white companies with whom negotiations had been carried on looking toward a sale of policies of the National Benefit. "They mention four white companies," said Mr. Boyd, "but I do not think they tried to interest a colored company, although I think that a colored company tried to interest them." Illinois Plan Followed Speaking directly about Mr. Wilson's plan, Mr. Boyd told the court that it was based principally upon that adopted in Illinois in the rehabilitation of the Victory Life Insurance Company. He related that with the view of using the same plan to mutualize the National Benefit, Mr. Wilson had secured powers of attorneys from 1,200 policyholders to show that it was no idle dream that cooperation could be secured. Field Agents Threatened Mr. Boyd accused the receivers of threatening to "fire" any of the field agents who might attempt to interest the public in the plan. He summarized by saying that those attempting to mutualize the company had "met the unqualified opposition of the receivers." Gilbert A. Clark and Frank B. Bryan, Jr., both white. "You said in the beginning," he continued, "that you wanted the receivers to be friendly with any practical plan for the rehabilita- BOY. 8.

Receivers Challenged Before closing, Mr. Boyd declared that he understood that the receivers had submitted two reports recently. He challenged them to tell how much cash there was on hand in the National Benefit, and asked Justice O'Donoghue to require them to tell. Justice O'Donoghue declined with a statement as to why he would not. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., was associated with Mr. Boyd in the presentation of the plan. Judge William C. Hueston is also identified with them, but it was explained to the court that he is now seriously ill in the West. In his opening statement, Mr. O'Brien declared that the hearing was not a trial of the receivers or of their counsel but to determine whether or not the situation justifies the granting of the receivers' prayers for liquidation of the company. Mr. O'Brien stated that Mr. Wilson began sending out proclamations to all subordinate lodges of Elks in December, 1932 "Plan is Impractical" "They have had time to work out a plan," continued Mr. O'Brien, "but there has been nothing definite offered in the last 18 months. Their plan is impractical. No magic they can use will transfer the assets of the company into a working capital. If they take over all the assets and all the claims, the assets will go towards the claims and will not be available for a working capital." Mr. O'Brien attacked other portions of the Wilson plan and pleaded with the court for a liquidation of the assets of the company in accordance with the petition filed just prior to the hearing. Associated with him and representing the receivers was John E. Laskey, white.

TWELVE Successfully defending his lau lers as high point scorer in last year's meet, Leroy Williams, of the New York Y, added further honors to his wreathed brow by set- ting a new mark in the 200-yard free style swim for men. Churning the water with beautiful preci- cision and setting a well-timed pace, Williams negotiated the distance in 2 minutes 28.8 seconds for a new District A.A.U. mark and a new pool record. The old record was 2 minutes 29 seconds. Maurie Jackson, local favorite, was second in this swim. Besides winning this event, the youthful Gotham merman out- classed his rivals in the 100-yard free style and the 150-yard back stroke to retain the loving cup given to the individual high-poin- scorer. He also swam as anchor man on the third place relay team. Two Relaw Marks Fall Francis Pool records fell in two relay events, the 200-yard relay for men and the 150-yard medley relay. In the latter event the first man swims the back stroke, the second man the breast stroke, and the third man free style. The crack quartet of Drew, Miller, Marshall and Jackson swam the distance in 1 minute 50.4 seconds, clipping 2.6 seconds off the old mark of 1 minute 53 seconds. In the medley race, Pittsburgh's trio of Fountain, J. Caldwell and Smith combined efforts to set a new record in 1 minute 36.4 seconds. The past record was 1 minute 37.2 seconds. Women Outstanding Despite their failure to establish any records the feminine competitors, particularly Connie Lucas, provided many of the numerous thrills. Repeating her last year's --- victory in the 50-yard back stroke and also winning the 50-yard freestyle, Miss Lucas garnered individual honors in her division with ten points. She also swam anchor on the winning Francis relay four. Catherine Wilson, of Francis, touched the wall with five yards to spare to win the 100-yard breast stroke, but a stirring battle was waged by Misses Hackett and Thomas for the second position with the latter getting the better of the contest by mere Having been deprived of tasting the sweetness of victory all afternoon by Iron Man Williams, Maurice Jackson, ace of the Francis team, swimming anchor man on the record-breaking Francis quartet, brought the crowd to its feet by beating out Smith, of Pittsburgh, on the last leg of the race by a hand. Both teams staged a thrilling duel during the early stages of the relay, and Smith and Jackson, anchor men, dived off the wall almost simultaneously. Swimming neck to neck the two stroked the lanes. Within five yards of the finish Jackson pulled ahead of his rival to win by a hand in the most spectacular finish of the day. Francis Victor Although outclassed by invading competition in the men's events, the Francis team, minus the service of Fred Douglass, who for two years led the local aggregation to victory with his sprint victories, piled up sufficient points in the junior and women's events to repeat its victory for the sixth consecutive year. The locals amassed 94 points, only 34 being tallied by the mermen. Ernie Marshall, lanky Francis swimmer, and Wainwright Beckett, winner of the low board diving championship, were the only Francis natators to capture first place in men's events. New York Y Second With Williams leading the way, the crack team from the 135th Street Y.M.C.A. of New York, coached by Blanchard Baker, gathered 50 points for second place. The Baltimore team, minus its full strength because of an automobile accident which prevented several members from competing, was third with 24 points, while the Central Y.M.C.A. of Pittsburgh, competing in the meet for the first time, was fourth with 21 points. Suburban Gardens scored 6 points, while the other competitors, the Philadelphia Y.M.C.A. and Crescent Salem Club, of New York, went scoreless.

CAPITAL GOLFERS WIN INTERCLUB COMPTEITION Royal Club Teams Overcome Opposition at Philadelphia; 4 Compete PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Winning 22 of the 24 matches staged, the Washington Royal Golf Club scored a landslide victory in the interclub matches sponsored by the Eastern Golf Association, over the Cobb's Creek Golf Course, here last Sunday. The St. Nicholas and New Amsterdam Clubs, of New York, and the Fairview Club, of Philadelphia were also represented. The invaders from the capital scored in impressive fashion, only Pleasant Goodwin and Slim Carter, of the Washington outfit, being carded as losers of matches. These two reliables, usually scintillating in their play, were slightly off color. Play was divided into seven-man Class A and five-man Class B competition. In the morning competition the Royal Class A and B teams defeate' the Fairview teams, 6 to 1 and 4 to 1. The St. Nichols and New Amsterdam clubs divided, the former winning in Class A, and the latter triumphing in Class B. In the afternoon finals the Royals trounced St. Nichols for the Class A crown, 7 to 0, and the local Class B team continued the clean sweep with a 5-to-0 win over the New Amsterdam Class B golfers. Harry Jackson's victory over Frank Gaskin, national amateur champion, featured the play. The local teams were as follows: Class A—Harry Jackson, N. Spriggs, Beltram Barker, James Williams, Albert Harris, Pleasant Goodwin, and Dr. George Adams, captain. Class B—Richard Thomas, William Carter, William Davis, and Walter Booth.

Dear Sir: Did you ever head of Abe Lincoln? Old Abe was manager and ace pitcher of the Union Blues, champions of the Shenandoah Valley League, back in the early sixties. He is the only finger in history to go down as a hero for purposely passing an opposing player. Lincoln gave a Negro batter a free ticket to first base. Now-adays when a pitcher throws four wide balls so that the opponent at bat can't reach them, he immediately becomes a target for a salvo of boos. But Old Abe, who had had three mediocre years of pitching from 1861 to 1864, and who had not come into his own until 1865, the last year of the world series between his team and the Southern Grays, defenders of the Mississippi Valley and Mason-Dixon League title, decided that the climax of his regime on the hill had been reached with the arrival of Thomas, colored batter of the Southern, at the plate. Now, Thomas (known throughout the league as "Uncle Tom") had been the cause of no little controversy during the travelogue of events. It seems the proverbial sepian gentleman in the proverbial wood-pile had been subjected to some pretty rotten deals during his stay in the haunts of the Grays. He had been delegated to all the dirty work, such as the washing, the cooking, and the grooming of the horses which pulled the buckboard on which the team travelled, etc. These duties, together with his being required to eat and sleep with the horses, beclouded the merits of his ability. Because, in reality, Old Tom was just as good as the white guys who played regularly on the team and enjoyed the privileges attendant thereto, while he chased the foul balls and hauled the bats. It was therefore with the suddenness of electricity that he got his chance. During the engagements which led up to the final clash, the Union lads had wrecked havoc in the ranks of the boys from down under. In the battle at Chattanooga, Sherman, the Union short stop, had run headlong into Johnston, third baseman of the Grays, when the latter tried to block him off the base, and having a stronger physique, the Blue had come out on the better end of the argument. Johnston was knocked for a loop. Moving over to Atlanta for another meeting of the two vanguards, the same Sherman went into Hood, who had been named as Johnston's successor by Bob Lee, pilot of the Grays, with spikes flying. Again the Union cohort came out unscathed and the Southerner was left with scarcely a leg to stand on. At Gettysburg, pet park of the Shenandoah champions, Pickett, the last of Lee's stars, got in front of a line drive from the bat of Hancock, slugging left-fielder of the home team. The jar was so great it shook thirteen teeth loose and broke an ankle. Now, all that may or may not have something to do with the main point of this letter, but it shows how Old Tom happened to break into the line-up in the first place. So when he came to bat with two men out and the tying run on third base in that fateful ninth inning of the final clash at Appomattox, Old Abe gave him a free ticket to first base. And it turned out to be a pretty smart move on the part of the Union skipper. He hadn't seen much of Uncle Tom playing the part of an equal and shifting for himself, and consequently didn't know just how dangerous he was with a stick in his hand. As I said before, Lincoln's strategy turned out to be a masterpiece. It brought Lee to bat. The Grays' chief, though a good batter, had lost his spirit. His morale had been shot to pieces. So when he walked up to the plate, Ole Abe already had two strikes on him. The Southern pilot swung lustily and sent a dinky little pop fly up to catcher Lys Grant. Now, on the other hand, the chances are that if Lincoln had pitched to the colored man, the latter might have pulled a "Casey." Lots of us have pulled "Caseys" since those memorable days of the Union-Southern hostilities. You know, Mr. Promoter, like the one you pulled in having Massah Whowazziit and Massah So-and-So as umpires of your last two games out on Georgia Avenue. Say, that sure was some boner you pulled. White umpires' mouths ain't no prayer-books. As friend to friend, Mr. Promoter, it looks very much like you have been mixed up on your history of the game. The way you're acting now, Uncle Tom might just as well have turned his back on the opportunity Ole Abe gave him to progress. Reaching first base, the timid old darky should have refused to step on it on the grounds that the sack was white. Dofring his cap to the cushion, he should have said, "Lawdy, sur, I can't go through with it." And turning to the dugout, he might have called: "Massah Legree. I guess it's up to you to do the running for me. You know so much about how that should be done, and besides I ain't no good for nothin' but to be run no how." And ever since white folks have been called in from time to time to run things for Negroes. And when they haven't, the Negroes who were named to do the running have had all kinds of trouble convincing the colored folks who were destined to be run that they were right. In other words, the boys themselves—and you—seem to have the idea that when a colored man does something he's a boob, but when a white man does the same thing he's a genius. Well, I must close now. Write real soon to your old friend. PAUL REVERE. P. S.—You know who Paul Revere was, don't you, and what he did? MY SECRET PASSION: To learn how to put the raspberry on somebody in a letter.

TOURN'Y SCHEDULE REVISED; TEAMS MEET TWICE Withdrawal of Royals Makes Action Necessary; Outsiders Have no Redress The Round-Robin Tournament, being sponsored by The Washington Tribune, for the purpose of determining just who is who in the semi-professional and independent field of this city, got under way to an auspicious start, last Saturday afternoon, with the Aztec A.C. meeting the Georgetown Athletics on the diamond at Green Valley Park, Arlington, Va. The withdrawal of the Washington Royals, one of the teams selected a sa leader among the sandlot organizations of the capital, has made it necessary for the tourney management to proceed with the four teams remaining. This change has called for a revision in the schedule. Each team will be required to make two circuits of the tournament. At the end, the organization having the best percentage rating will be crowned city champion. There should be no grounds for dispute by teams which are not included in the tournament, either for reasons offered by them nor because they were uninvited. The only club which was invited gave as its reason for declining to enter an inability to live up to certain rules adopted by the tournament management. The principals involved in the staging of the affair feel that a stable line-up, promptness in starting games and a willingness to live up to organized rules are qualities essential to a championship aggregation. If others lack these qualities they cannot justifiably lay claim to a mythical title. Championship competitive athletics are made up of such characteristics. A new schedule is being worked out and will be published in full in the next issue of The Tribune. The scene of the battles has also been changed. Play will be shifted beginning this Saturday to the Monument Grounds, further use of the Green Valley diamond in Virginia being considered impractical. On Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock SHARP the Hillsdales and Aztecs hook up. At 1 o'clock sharp Sunday, the Georgetown Athletics and the Hillsdales will clash, followed at 3 o'clock by the Anacostia Athletics and the Aztecs. 22 Playgrounds to Take Part in Industrial Exhibit The first industrial exhibit of the 22 colored playgrounds of the District will be held in the Dunbar High School Armory, Thursday, from 2 to 4 and 8 to 10 p.m. The exhibit which is known as a "Hobby Show," will include the best industrial work from cach of the municipal and school playgrounds. In connection with the exhibit a children's fashion show will be held in the armory at 2:30 p.m. In the evening two one-act plays, "The Man in the Stall," and "The Slave With Two Faces," will be presented. The casts will include members of the Best Yet Dramatic Club, directed by James Brown, of Morgan College, Baltimore. In the afternoon the Dunbar Center will present an athletic number.

Although no outstanding marks were established in many of the events, it will doubtless be many moons before the records made by James McKelvin of Monroe Playground in the 85-pound class high jump, and Reds Colson in the 70-pound class 50-meter dash will be approached. McKelvin went over the bar at the dizzy height of five feet while Colson captured the sprint in the fast time of 7 1-5 seconds.

Virgil Coates was the victorious slabman. Ben Ashford’s homo run over the right-field fence with the bases full was the high spot of an otherwise listless game. The hard hitting centerfielder of the west-enders met one of Big Boy Boswell’s fast ‘ones square on the nose in the hec- tic fourth inning, the ball clearing the barrier with inches to spare. From the outset, the Virginians were no match for the local team, and the result was never in doubt, Casey, a southpaw, followed Bos- well on the mound but he fared no better.

Jackson had the better of the ar- gument, but the margin of differ- ence was not great enough to net him the victory. The team behind him proved to be superior—on that day—to. that which played with Frazier. Fifteen hits were divided up, eight to the winners and seven to the losers. The Southwest piteher fanned 10, while the Georgetown flinger accounted for 9 in the sameé fashion. But an easy fly ball, dropped with two men out and the base: loaded, turned what might have been a much better ball game intc a route for the time. Doy Colbert third-baseman of ‘the _west-enc crew, committed the miscue and two runs were scored.

(@ p.m) _ Sunday, Sept. 3 Georgetown vs. Hillsdale A.C (1 pm). Aztec A.C. ys. Anacos- ta (5:30 p.m.). One of the weirdest games of the current season was in order as the Hillsdale A.C. met and tri- umphed over the Anacostia Ath- leties in the second encounter of The Tribune Round-Robin Baseball Tournament, played at Green Val- ley Park, Arlington, Va., last, Sun- day, The final score was 11-5. Sixteen errors were committed, as many as there were runs scored, and only one less than the total number of hits. ‘The Anacostians, who were decidedly off and seemed unable to catch anything hit in their directions, were the offenders on 11 occasions, while the remain- ing five miscues were charged up to "Dale fielders. Marion (Smoke) Levi, fast ball artist of the winners, faced Bil Reid, star of the Anacostia staff on the mound, and the fact that he held the Southeast batters to sis hits helped him considerably. The scarcity of hits was a good thing considering the shaky support ac corded him. His opponent did no! fare quite so well, being touche¢ up for 11 safeties by Hillsdale hit ters. A triple by Chink Berry, slug ging left-fielder of the Anacostia outfit, was easily the highlight of the contest. ee a an fare eee ee aa is all > ABHRE ABH RE Licrtbs.

That brings a laugh, Ever since the first shovel was pushed into the ground to make way for the local entrance to the Arlington Memorial Bridge, there- by wrecking the little snake-pergy lay-out we had been using for a golf course, the writer has been either advocating, producing or en- dorsing moves of protest to no avail.

Tell me, if you were a storekeeper would you bother putting in water- melons as long as your customers were content with pickles? wees ‘The LeDroit Tigers have by no means belied their monicker from the standpoint of taking punishment this season, but there seems to be a certain quality of ferociousness for which their jungle namesake is known that is missing in the Jair of the former prides and joys of District semi-pro base- ball circles. eee If it’s the last thing I do in newspaper work, I'm going to say something nasty about the use of white umpires in ANY KIND of baseball game in which the’ par ticipants are colored, there, else where and especially HERE.

SLE ——_—_——— BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL 'STORMY WEATHER IS THE CENTER OF $1,000,000 SUIT NEW YORK—"Stormy Weather," the catchy, poignant melody which has achieved rare popularity during the past several months, has indeed had a stormy career. Ethel Waters, the race's premier comedienne, introduced it at the Cotton Club in Harlem a few months ago, after others had plugged it with indiffent success, but the plaintive manner of Ethel's singing seemed just the touch needed to carry out the theme of the song. Like a flame in the wind, "Stormy Weather" caught on. On the streets people whistled it, sang it, and chanted its words like poetry. Reports from different parts of the country showed that fights had started for one reason or another through the song. In Ne / Orleans a girl killed an entertainer because he wouldn't sing it. And now come suits totaling one million dollars to make the career of the popular song even more stormy. Negra Claima Authorship One suit is for $500,000 and was filed by Johnny Gold against Irving and Jack Mills, the Mills Music Company, and the Lawrence Music Publishing Company. Gold charges the defendants with infringing upon the common law copyright, claiming that "Stormy Weather" was stolen from three songs: "There's Get to Be a Love Song," "Lazy Love," and "By By." The other suit reveals that Lukie Johnson, and not Harold Arilen, white, claims to be the composer of the song. Johnson says that he and Jack Loeber, white, wrote the song together. He says they stored the trunk in which the manuscript was, and that the trunk was lost when they were unable to pay the storage. Lukie is trying to locate the trunk to prove his contention. Howard University Will Offer Courses in Applied Science New students who wish to enter Howard University, and who qualify may enter upon courses in civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or architecture at the beginning of the first semester, September 25. This is by recent vote of the members of the executive committee of the board of trustees who have made known this action in reply to inquiry made by numerous applicants for entrance to these departments. While at present only one year's work can be fully-guaranteed, the action makes available these courses to students who plan to begin their college work at Howard University. Professor L. K. Downing, acting dean of the College of Applied Science, is conducting correspondence with former students of the college advising them that, under the Public Works Administration of the National Recovery Act, not less than $400,000,000 are to be expanded for highways; $250,000,000 for making loans for and otherwise aiding in the purchase of homesteads, dams, water power, flood control, seawage systems, water supply projects, etc. He calls attention to the fact that the architect and engineering are to play a conspicuous part in this program, and is urging students to enter upon these courses at the beginning of the first semester. The College of Applied Science offers courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science in architecture, art, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering, and home economics. Give people what you think they want instead of what they ask for and you will make a lot of enemies.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. AUGUST 31, 1933 Pageant Enacted as Part of Negro Day Exercises at the Century of Progress Exposition Editor's Note—The pageant which is partially reviewed by the writer, a dramatic critic on the Chicago Daily News, was entitled "The Epic of a Race." It is briefly analyzed in an Associated Negro Press release in another column. On a series of platforms spread across the north end of Soldier field the Afric-Americans of Chicago brought "Negro day" to a close last Saturday night. In the distance, rising, high above the various stages and grand stands, was a grottoted representation of heaven, a la "Grown Pastures," with "De Lawd" of that production, Richard B. Harrison, sitting in a frock coat under a star-spangled sky while small sable angels fluttered their robes at his feet. Below him the terraced faces of 500 choir singers stretched down to a small stage which, in turn, ran down in steps to an immense platform upon which most of this pageant of the Negro's rise, took place. At the farthest edge of this platform a 200-foot papier mache chain was stretched, symbolizing slavery. The pageant was aptly conceived but badly illuminated and, like all pageants, suffered from nod delays between episodes. But there was always the organ-like choir in the background, chanting, humming or moaning. It sang spirituals throughout the stage representation of the race's experience in America, and it might well have sung more, for it is in these old melodies of majestic sweetness that the Negro rises supreme in all the range of western world folk arts. A Few Spirituals "I'm So Glad Trouble Don't Last Always" was what they sang while the pageant, down before them, put some thirty slaves to picking in a cotton field while Kentucky colonels whipped them, and "O Lord, Keep Me from Sinkin' Down" was their wail while the same colonels bought slaves on the auction block. During scenes showing the escape of a slave, his pursuit by bloodhounds, his capture and his whipping at the stake, the massed voices sang "By and By I'm Goin' Lay Down Tis Heavy Load." Beyond this, no well known or famous spirituals accompanied the action which went on to depict Nat Turner's ill-fated slave insurrection, the trial of John Brown of Ossawatomie, the arming of black regiments during the civil war and the emancipation proclamation. For this last action, Mr. Lincoln stood close beside Jehovah on the upper shelf, and read his great state paper with his plug hat on, which I do not think Mr. Lincoln would have done. As he concluded the slaves tore to bits the huge symbolic chain and began climbing the stairs which led to large representations of a wheel symbolizing industry and an inkwell standing for book learning. As they neared their goal, out sprang four white-robed Ku Klux Klansmen to beat them back, and succeeded in doing so until Mr. Harrison, far up among his angels and stars, arose and spread forth his hands. Then they vanished, while the patriarchal old actor's voice came out, over the loud speakers, in beneficent words, and in the never-to-be-forgotten tones of "Green Pastures." After that the pageant was as good as done, although a representation of a modern Negro cabaret was staged at the finale. Before this happened an interlude of classic music was held, to show, as the announcer declared, the ability of the modern Negro to sing the most difficult and exalted of the white man's musical compositions. Songs in Latin At this point I departed, for I am not interested in hearing the Negro do what he could already excel before he set out to study. It is satisfactory to him, of course, to perform with skill, oratorios in Latin, grand opera in German and chansons in French. But in singing them he is only proving that he can do with his voice what the white man can do. I want to hear him do what no white man can ever do—throw back his head and sing his own spirituals with unquestioned sublimity and superiority. This refusal to be content with superiority in one field and to venture into other pastures is, however, not limited to any one race, and outside of some disappointment in regard to it last Saturday I found the Negro pageant carnest, honest and highly civilized from a historical point of view. It proved that the modern Negro is well-poised and intelligent about his racial woes and opportunities, neither revengeful for past wrongs, nor overhasty to obtain privileges by anything other than the slow and sure processes of education and discipline—the processes which all races, in their turns, have had to observe. That but few of their great names in the theaterdem could be present was nothing for them, nor me, to be sorry about. It strengthened the feeling that this was a pageant of the masses, the people, and it made me understand something of what my abolitionist forbears felt, almost a century ago, when they stood in an Indiana cornfield, MR.

Woman Who Says She Was Beaten by Cops, Guilty Mrs. Alberta Young, 1382 Morris Road, Southeast, who stated she was brutally beaten by two white policemen who entered her home, was found guilty of assault by Police Court Judge Isaac R.

In the report of the news sent out by the Boston Daily Record of the storm which played havoc on the Atlantic Coast from Maine to Virginia, the announcer informed the world that comic relief was afforded by the sight of Negroes swimming about the water which had inundated their homes. Action was immediately taken by the chairman of the Massachusetts Colored Women's Democratic Club who sent out a letter of protest. Probably the most popular radio program in Europe is a one-hour broadcast of American records by radio in Paris each Sunday, which features recordings by Duke Ellington, the Mills Brothers, Bing Crosby, the Boswell Sisters, Don Redmon, Cab Calloway and several others. Other European stations have similar programs which are usually announced by gramophone or music critics who are experts on American jazz. However, the announcers are not always so expert, with results amusing to American listeners. An announcer at GSB, English station at Rugby, was heard introducing a Mills Brothers' record in this way: "The Mills Brothers imitate an entire orchestra with only one instrument, a guitar. These amazing artists made this music with their... er... aw... with their naked eyes, so to speak; that is to say, by natural means." SIXTEEN "TILLY" JOHNSON HELD IN FATAL STABBING CASE Coroner's Jury Holds Knife Wielder After Hearing Tangled Testimony After hearing a mass of tangled testimony in connection with the fatal stabbing of Albert Matthews, 30, the coroner's jury at the District Morgue, Tuesday, ordered Henry Leroy (Tilly) Johnson held for the action of the grand jury. Johnson, 22, stabbed Matthews to dure during an altercation at their home, 366-Dixon's Court, South- west, Saturday afternoon. Johnson, who declared he was un- employed because he had only re- cently finished serving a 90-day term on a charge of vagrancy, in a voluntary statement to the jury disputed all of the preceding testimony and admitted stabbing the dead man. Johnson said that he and Matthews had argued over his refusal to give Matthews food when Johnson's mother, Lula Ashton, temporarily settled matters by feeding Matthews. Later, he told the jury, his mother and his step-father, James Ashton, all of the same address, became involved in a fight. Matthews, at first urged him to intervene, and when he refused, he said Matthews interfered with the fight by hitting his mother. This, Tilly said, he resented, and he started fighting with Matthews. Johnson was knocked down several times, but got up and left the house in a search for a policeman. Takes Knife From Assailant Not having any money, he explained to the jury, he couldn't phone the police, and so he returned to the house where the fight was renewed. This time, he and Matthews struggled for approximately five minutes when, he said, Matthews grabbed a butcher knife, which had a seven-inch blade, stabbed at him three times but missed on each occasion. Then he grappled with his assailant, took the knife and stabbed him in the chest, he confessed. Tilly left the house and returned with Policeman Albert C. Crawley, of the Fourth Precinct Station, who found the body of the dying man lying at the top of the stairs. Casualty Hospital ambulance was summoned and Matthews was pronounced dead by a staff physician. Death was caused by a three-fourth of an inch stab wound, which penetrated the chest, severing the blood vessel which carries the blood from the heart, according to the report of Dr. C. J. Murphy, who performed an autopsy on the body. Johnson was arrested on the scene and held pending the inquest. Testimony Differs Testimony of the six witnesses in the case, all of whom lived at the same address, was vastly different. Mrs. Ashton in her testimony corroborated Officer Crawley's statement that she and her husband had argued but denied that they had engaged in a fight. Her husband, on the other hand, took the stand and declared he was asleep and knew nothing about the whole incident. He said when he awoke the man was dead. Corrine Rogers, who was reprimanded by Coroner A. McGruder McDonald for appearing at the inquest in an apparent intoxicated condition, testified that she heard noise in the apartment where the fatal stabbing took place but didn't know what it was all about until Tilly returned with the police. The woman lives on the lower floor of the house while the stabbing was done on the second floor. Was His "Boy Friend" James Hyman, better known as "Dottie," who told the jury that the dead man was his "boy friend," testified that he was downstairs and didn't hear any of the struggling. He was followed on the stand by Charles Slater, who said that all the persons in the house had been drinking and that he was asleep. Frank Rogers, another witness, claimed he was in the back yard where he heard argument and later saw Tilly run from the house. Sergeant J. Flagerty, of the Homicide Squad, testified that Johnson told him he had only known Matthews since last December. Mrs. Matthews Sobs Mrs. S. Matthews, mother of the dead man, who was led into the morgue by a friend, became hysterical and sobbed continually through the hearing. Three District Men Hurt in Maryland Three Washingtonians received minor injuries when an auto in which they were riding figured in an accident, in Southern Maryland, Tuesday. Clemans Smith, 27, of 2468 Ontario Road, Northwest, driver of the machine, received a wound of the upper lip and bruises of the leg. Pierce Andrews, 36, of 1707 Lanier Place, Northwest, suffered a wound in the scalp and in the back of the neck which required five stitches to close. Alary Mason, 25, of 1757 U Street, Northwest, received a wound of the right hand. Sleeping at night is only a habit says Prof. Nathan Kleitman, of the University of Chicago. Resting in the day would be just as beneficial.

Grant, white, president of the Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis, early this week, stressed the urgent need of a larger and more adequate Summer camp for tuberculous children. Her statement came immediately after the present health camp at Fourteenth and Upshur Streets, where 54 white and colored children are cared for, was reopened. The camp closed during last week's terrific storm to undergo repairs. "This storm emergency," said Mrs. Grant, "and the consequent enforced closing of our camp has served to emphasize anew to all who are familiar with the facts the great need of providing a larger and more permanent Summer camp capable of giving special care during the Summer months, for the several hundred children known now to be suffering from tuberculosis infection. "An appropriate site for such a camp can be found on the large tract of land now in the possession of the District government in the general neighborhood of the new Children's Tuberculosis Sanatorium on the Defense Highway."

Promptly at 8:30 o'clock, the yacht "Annametra," with a mighty blast of its whistle, and mid much waving and cheering, moved majestically away from its Seventh Street pier, headed due south, toward the land of Dixie. After slowly cruising about thirty miles down the moon-kissed Potomac, the anchor was dropped, the radio turned on, the card tables set up, the hot dogs, potato salad, and pop prepared, and everybody enjoyed themselves—some dancing, some playing cards, others strolling the decks, all heartily partaking of the splendid repast. At 2:30 a.m. the "Annametata" nosed its way alongside the pier, and in the driving rain which suddenly sprang up, the party landed—everybody tired, everybody happy, and each one secretly believing himself fully capable of navigating the seven seas.

Dist. 8100 MENTION THE TRIBUNE WHEN BUYING Elder Michaux's Services Draw Huge Crowds to Ball Park; Baptism Sunday By E. F. L. Addressing a throng described as being the largest ever to attend a church service under the auspices of one minister, Elder Lightfoot Michaux of the Church of God, on Georgia Avenue, who has been conducting a series of services at the American League Base Ball Park here in conjunction with his National revival movement, pointed out that women, who interfere with the orderly processes of nature with respect to bearing children, so as to cause the flowing or shedding of blood, are murderers. Supported by a chorus of 156 persons, all of whom were dressed in white silken robes and white caps, the Elder introduced his sermon with a musical program. The choir, orderly and well trained, marched around chairs which had been arranged as a huge cross, and after unveiling a large painting of the resurrection scene of our Lord, they were seated.

Baptising The largest baptismal service ever held, as the result of Elder Michaux's Nation-wide revival which has been in progress since June 25 will be conducted Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at the foot of Water and O Streets, Southwest, near the War College. This baptising will take place in the muddy waters of the Potomac, similar to the waters of Jordan where Jesus Christ was baptised. Thousands of people are expected to attend, coming from various parts of the country. Among them will be numbers who have been converted by radio. This baptismal service will be broadcast over station WJSV, and possibly over the Columbia net work. Public address system will be used so that the vast crowd may CLEARANCE DEALS!

Elder Michaux is arranging to have the singing of his large choir, that shall be assembled, properly amplified so that they can be heard on Hains Point, the shore opposite the baptising grounds. This is possibly a distance of a thousand feet away. The E. Madison Hall, an excursion steamer, has been chartered to take the candidates to a large barge that will be anchored out from the shore where the baptismal sermon will be preached. Immediately after the baptisms, Elder Michaux and choir will go to the American League Base Ball Park for their Sunday evening service. Elder Michaux will preach his famous sermon, "God's Horses" found in Revelations sixth chapter which tells us of this present day crisis. He will also explain in part about the white, blue and red eagles, all NRAs. All nationalities welcomed. Admission to Ball Park is free. Secure your tickets at booths at the park.
