N.N.ALLIANCE CALLS OFF PICKETS
A and P Chain Stores Place
Four of Our Group
as Clerks
Picketing of A. and P. Stores was called off by the New Negro Alliance following a letter Friday from S. W. Zink, general superintendent of the stores, stating that Negro clerks will be employed in stores located in colored neighborhoods.
Following receipt of this letter members of the Alliance called in pickets from in front of stores located at Ninth and S Streets, 600 block of T Street and the 2790 block of Eleventh Street.
4 Clerks Employed
A check up by The Tribune disclosed that four colored clerks have been employed by the chain stores since the Alliance began its campaign of buy-where-you-can-work. Two youths are working part time at the Ninth and S Street store and another at the store on Sixth Street. Two more youths went to work on full time Monday morning when one started in as clerk at a store located at 1730 Fourteenth Street and another at a store on the corner of Fourteenth and Wallach Place.
Samuel Williamson is the new clerk at the former store while Frank V. Johnson is working at the latter. Both were unemployed. All clerks are being hired through Horace G. Christopher, service secretary of the Twelfth Street Y.M.C.A.
Other men will be employed from time to time as vacancies occur and as soon as the present force of white clerks can be adjusted. A list of eligibles is being compiled by Mr. Christopher and men are drawn from this list as clerks are needed for the stores.
The Alliance sent out a letter last week to all residents in the vicinity of picketed stores stating that trade with the stores could be resumed.

Paul Laurence I Now Blind, Feeb Aid is Sought for Woman W Make Son the of the
Paul Laurence Dunbar's Mother Now Blind, Feeble, and in Need
DAYTON, Ohio—(By Rubie Boyd for ANP)—By way of continuing my study of the life of the Negro poet, the late Paul Laurence Dunbar. I paid a visit recently to his mother at Dayton, Ohio. I feel that it may interest both the many who know that she is living and the many who may not know it, to hear something about her of today, as Providence has granted unto her four-score-and-nine years. "Mother Dunbar" she is affectionately called.
She continues to live at the home at Number 219 North Summit Street, Dayton, which has become a shrine since her son's death there in 1906. Physically, she is frail, although at the time of my visit she was not bed-ridden; and while her moving about is restricted, she mounts the stairs once or twice a day, opens the door to admit a guest, turns the radio on and off, with assistance ventures out on the porch occasionally, if the weather is very warm.
TREASURY TO AID IN BANK REOPENING
TREASURY TO AID IN BANK REOPENING
R.F.C. to Match Dollar for Dollar in Plan to Raise Capital
Definite plans for the reopening of the Industrial Savings Bank were launched early this week following a conference between W.H.C. Brown, president and conservator of the bank, and officials of the Treasury Department. W. M. Taylor, white, national bank examiner, has been assigned to represent the Treasury in working with officers of the bank to develop an acceptable plan.
Plan National Bank
The delay in working out a plan was caused by the Hamilton Bank merger which necessitated the force of the Treasury to complete. Since this has been disposed of the Industrial Bank will be the next to be considered.
The plan is to open the institution as a national bank with a capital of $200,000. However, officials of the Treasury and bank officers are of the opinion that it may be opened with a capital of half that amount. According to banking laws for cities the size of Washington all national banks must have a capital of $200,000 except in cases where banks are opened in outlying districts. Due to the fact that the Industrial Bank is upntown and caters exclusively to Negroes the smaller capital of $100,000 may be applied in this case.
$60,000 Subscribed
The sum of $60,000 has already been subscribed in the new setup and for every dollar the bank raises the Reconstruction Finance Corporation will match. This means that if the $100,000 capital is agreed on by officials of the Treasury the bank will have to supply only half of that arount. Then the only problem to be worked out will be the amount each depositor will receive on the dollar.
The deadline for closed banks has been set for January 1 at which time all bank, must be opened or they will be liquidated.

"De Lawd" to Teach at North Carolina College
GREENSBORO, N.C.—"When I have fulfilled my obligation to the stage, it shall be my purpose to return here to Greensboro and carry on again the work which became so greatly a part of my life several years ago," was the simple but expressive tribute paid to Greensboro and A. & T. College by Richard B. Harrison, leading character of "The Green Pastures," in his address before the Civitan Club at its luncheon meeting in the O. Henry Hotel, Greensboro's leading white hostelry.
"It is needless to say that I deeply appreciate this reception," he said. "I am the same Harrison, however, that worked here in your midst; I would prefer for you to regard me as such. I have arranged with President Bluford, of A. T. College, to retain me with the status of being on leave of absence and when I have finished my work on the stage I am coming back here to continue teaching dramatics and furthering my work among the Negro race."

BUS MASHES LIFE FROM PUPIL, 5, WHILE AT PLAY
Driver Who Felt "Bump" Finds Lifeless Body in Street
Street Facing School Not Closed During Recess Periods
There was a soft patter on the wooden floor of the District Morgue Wednesday, and as the doors of the witness room swing open for, them three small students of the Mott School entered one by one to tell what they could about how Rudolph Hackley, a five-year-old fellow student, was crushed to death under the wheel of a bus while at play near the school the day previously. Rudolph, who had just entered school the past month, was seen playing across the street from the school just before the huge Washington Railway and Electric Company bus lumbered down W Street in front of the school.
The driver, Curtis Sales, white, of 8 Franklin Street, Hyattsville, Md., stated he was going through the street slowly on account of the children, but saw none of them playing in the street.
Driver Feels Bump
Feeling the bus bump as if it had run over something, Sales said he immediately stopped the vehicle. With an intuition that something was wrong, he rushed toward the rear end, found the boy's body within three feet from the rear of the bus, Sales related.
Picking up the boy in his arms, the driver started toward Fourth and W Streets, where Private Edward Hallman, of the Second Precinct, was directing traffic. The lad was placed in a passing automobile and raced the two or three blocks distance to Freedmen's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

In June, 1932, Mrs. Meta Hunt Murphy, daughter-in-law by her oldest son (deceased) came to be in the home and to care for Mother Dunbar. She blends into a composit of Mary and Martha, which reminds one of the p essence of a Divine Guest who once sojourned in the home of those sisters.
Sight is Gone
Mother Dunbar's greatest infirmity is that the treasured sense of sight is gone, the only measure left being that she can distinguish a gray from a sunny day.
However, against this great loss, there is the compensation that she has her mental faculties, and one can say, almost selfishly, that o're forgets that even her eyes no longer function, so keen is her memory and so well does she narrate the events of her long and interesting life and tell of her children. Nor has time quenched the fire of her spirit. Were she physically able. (Continued on page 2)

BRIDGEVILLE, Del. — The above is a sample of notices posted by local authorities in this town warning Negroes that "any colored persons found loitering on the streets of Bridgeville after 12 o'clock midnight east of the railroad, except residence (the superior Nordics of Bridgeville apparently mean "residents"—Ed.) will be arrested and jailed until 12 o'clock the following day."

BANK CLERK SUES FOR $50,000
Airport Company Charged With Discrimination Twice in Week
Four days after the Eastern Air Transport, Inc., $88 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, had been charged with color discrimination and sued for $56,000 damages by a local business man, similar action was instituted against the company for an additional $50,000, Friday, by another business man. Water L. Carter, cashier of the Industrial Savings Bank, Eleventh and U Street, Northwest, through his attorney, accused the company of resurgence in convey him from Atlantic City to Washington by airplane after he had paid $9.82, on August 24, 1932. On the Monday preceding, John T. Rhines, of 302 I Street, Southwest, undertaker, asked the District Supreme Court to award him $50,000 damages for the same causes.
In the first of the four counts, Mr. Carter asks $10,000 for the inconvenience, delay, and trouble to which he was subjected by the refusal of the company to give him transportation.
Claims Others Accomodated
The second count relates that the airplane upon which he was scheduled to fly here had ample accommodations, unsecured and unengaged, subject to the engagement of the general public. He asserts that subsequent to his denial of passage and before the departure of the airplane, other persons of the general public were given accommodation. Mr. Carter asks $10,000 on this count.
The charge that he was denied transportation and accommodation on account of his color and race is contained in the third count. For this alleged "special discrimination" Mr. Carter asks $10,000 compensatory damages, and $10,000 punitive damages.
the fourth count narrates that Mr. Carter had paid $9.82, to the Postal Telegraph Company, agent of the transport company, and had been given a reservation or ticket order, the day previous, August 23. The petitioner sets forth that he presented himself in the prescribed manner, but not withstanding the airplane was only partially occupied, he was "wantonly refused passage." For the company's failure to comply with agreement and give him passage, Mr. Carter seeks an additional $10,000. The suit was filed through the firm of Jesse W. Lewis, Edward A. Beaubian, and Belfox V. Lawson, who also represent Mr. Rhines in his action. Both actions are similar in their allegations and for the amount on each count. The transport company has 20 days within which to file an answer to the suit.

BURR IS HURT AS MACHINE OVERTURNS
John H. Burr, Howard Court Mentor, Confined to Richmond Hospital
RICHMOND, Va.—Five Washington, D.C., school teachers, all prominent in Colored Intercollegiate Athletic Association activities and well known as sports authorities throughout this section of the country, miraculously escaped possible serious injury when an automobile in which they were riding overturned following a collision near here, last Saturday night. Only one sustained hurts sufficiently dangerous to confine him to a hospital.
The five men were: J. U. Hunter driver of the car; Benjamin Washington and Edgar P. Westmoreland teachers at Armstrong High School, and Thomas Verdell and John H. Burr, faculty member at Howard University. Burr, basketball coach at Howard, is still at the St. Phillips Hospital, here, suffering severe internal injuries. Latest reports, however, had him resting comfortably.
According to the story, the men were returning, by way of a newly-opened road, to Washington after attending the Union-Lincoln football game, in which Washington, Westmoreland and Burr worked as officials. As their car passed through Hanover, Court House, just a few miles north of here, an automobile bearing four white youths returning from Washington after the world series, sideswiped the Washington-bound machine. Going over an embankment the car catapulted twice and landed right-side up.
Three Are Injured
Washington and Hunter, though dazed, remained conscious. The others had to be removed from the wreckage, and they were rushed to Richmond in a passing automobile, where they received hospital attention. Verdell and Westmoreland were later dismissed and carried to their homes by a friend.
Meanwhile, Washington and Hunter, who had stayed at the scene of the mishap, were administered to by Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Layton, of Hanover, Va. Mr. Layton, who is superintendent of the Virginia Manual Labor School, there, took the two men to his home and made them comfortable. Two of the boys from his institution were dispatched to the wreck scene to await the arrival of a service truck.
A deputy sheriff, who arrived shortly after the accident, refused to detain the white drivers of the other machine, according to Washington, and they were permitted to have their automobile pulled away by a truck which they hailed and mustered into service. None of the occupants of the Richmond-bound car could show credentials licensing their operation of the car, several of the Washington men stated.
Mrs. Burr, wife of the most seriously injured victim, is in Richmond, having left Washington, her home, shortly after receiving news of the catastrophie. All of the other men returned to their work the latter part of the week.
Because of the mishap, Washington, Westmoreland and Burr, slated to work the Union-Morgan game, Saturday, will be unable to put in their appearance. All engagements for the trio, which is worked together quite frequently during the current C.I.A.A. schedule, have been cancelled for the present.
The injuries received are as follows: Washington, strained back; Westmoreland, fractured cheekbone; Verdell, slight lacerations and shock; Hunter, shock; and Burr, lacerations and internal injuries.

COUNSEL TO ASK LIFE SENTENCE FOR 3 YOUTHS
United States Supreme Court Denies Review of Case
Justice Peyton Gordon granted the three Logan Circle boys a stay of execution until November 25, following a request by the condemned youths' counsel, Wednesday morning. The boys were scheduled to go to the electric chair October 25.
Attorney John H. Wilson stated this week that in the meantime a plea would be made to the President to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment.
Three men, Joseph J. Jackson, Irvin Murray, and Ralph E. Holmes, sentenced to die for the slaying of a park policeman, were denied a review of their case by the United States Supreme Court Monday.
The men were charged with slaying Park Policeman Milo J. Kennedy at Logan Circle in August, 1932. The sentence of death imposed upon them in Criminal Court was approved by the District Court of Appeals, June 25, 1933, where the case was taken by their counsel, John H. Wilson and J. Flipper Derricott. The trio is scheduled to die in the electric chair on October 25.
The government charged a gang in the neighborhood of the circle conspired to "get" the policeman. When informed Jackson had been throwing stones, the policeman attempted to arrest him. Jackson resisted, broke away and ran. The government charged Murray with interfering with the officer in making the arrest and striking him with a blunt instrument. Others are said to have joined in beating Kennedy.
Nine men were indicted on murder charges in connection with the incident. Six were arrested and three made their escape. Three of those arrested were released by the court but those to die were convict. die of first-degree murder

Southern Aid Society Issues Message to Mothers and Fathers
The problem of finding satisfactory employment even in normal times for colored people is a trying one, while in times like this country has experienced during the past four years, the quest for employment for even the well-trained is a most disheartening experience. The Southern Aid Society of Virginia, Inc., the rice's oldest existing insurance company, has afforded, for over 40 years steady, profitable and dignified employment to hundreds of prepared women and men as officers, supervisors, clerks and agents, and this has been possible through its receiving just a small part of the insurance patronage of its own people. If then with such limited insurance patronage and co-operation from them, it has accomplished so much good for the race, would not larger patronage from them enable the company to provide employment to many thousands instead of hundreds?
This company is, therefore, in its advertisement in another part of this paper bringing forcibly to the attention of mothers and fathers of boys and girls now in school, both the opportunity of securing safe insurance protection at reasonable cost in a company that has stood every test for nearly 41 years and the possibilities of having positions opened to their children when they complete their studies or are forced to leave school. Such mutual co-operation will make the insurance dimes and dollars do double duty for the race.
stores which employ colored in other than menial jobs.
The Alliance president informed the group that the owners of Brown's Corner, haberdashers, Seventh and T Streets, had not answered a letter which had been written him asking that colored be employed. It was also pointed out that the owner of the store had been doing certain charitable work in the neighborhood, but the Alliance president stated that this work did not meet their demands and steps would be taken to get the store manager to hire colored clerks rather than do charitable work.
A delicatessen store at Third and Rhode Island Avenue would be dealt with in the same way, it was said, because its owner had promised to hire a colored clerk, but had not done so.
Among the speakers at Saturday's meeting were Alain Locke Howard University professor and author of "The New Negro"; Henry Brooks, president of the Alexandria, Va. Citizens' Association; and Mrs. Ethel Cohen, of the Interracial Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.
EYE BEATEN OUT IN BRAWL, MAN DIES OF WOUNDS
EYE BEATEN OUT IN BRAWL, MAN DIES OF WOUNDS
Mother and Two Children Claim and Disclaim Their Guilt
Baffled with the riddle of trying to solve the death of Armstead Olden, 48, of 1530 Sixth Street, Northwest, who lost his left eye and received a fractured skull which resulted in his death following a drunken orgy, a coroner's jury held four persons, including his common-law wife, her two children, and a visitor at the home, for the action of the grand jury, Monday afternoon.
Two other men who satisfied the coroner's jury that they were not participants in the melee which led up to the tragedy were freed.
Those held were Mrs. Bertha Duncan, 48, self-admitted common-law wife of Olden for the past 14 years; Frances Duncan, 28, daughter, with appeared with a grievous-looking black, left eye; John William Duncan, 28, son, who had had five stitches taken in cuts of the head; and William Redmond, 33, of 1569 Sixth Street, the visitor.
Those released were Simon Lloyd, unemployed, of 1523 Fifth Street, Northwest, and William White, of 603 M Street, Northwest, a friend of Olden's, who worked with him at Bolling Field. The jury reached its decision after listening to officers relate the difficulty they had in trying to unravel statements of the principals, who they testified were under the influence of liquor when Olden received the fatal injuries, around midnight. Friday.
Wife Makes Statement
They also heard Mrs. Duncan attempt to clear herself of suspicion, after being warned by Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, that anything she said might be used for or against her. The wife claimed she went out to buy soda water to make a high ball about 11:30, and returned to find her husband in a pool of blood with his eye dangling on his left cheek. Nevertheless, the jury felt that her guilt or innocence should be passed on by the grand jury.
Drs. L. Richards and J. Kelley, the first two witnesses, related the appearance of Olden on entering Freedmen's Hospital, where he was carried in an ambulance summoned by a Second Precinct officer. Each told of the numerous cuts on the man's face and the deep depression in his head which gave evidence of a skull fracture. Dr. Richards stated that the injured man also had three wounds in the back, apparently made with an ice-pick. He tried to probe these wounds, he said, but found them to be too deep and the man's condition too serious.
Weapons Shown Coroner
Weapons Showdown
Just before the third witness took the stand, Detective Sergent Clyde N. Strange, of the Homicide Squad, brought in some objects wrapped in a newspaper and placed them before the coroner. They were taken from Olden's home and included: pint of whisky, ice-pick, butcher knife, flat iron, and an iron nail puller, about one foot and a half in length. A half brick-bat taken from Redmond's pocket when he was arrested was also in the lot.
The third witness was Officer George W. Millis, of the Second Precinct, who with Officer Franklin Gue, both white, were the first policemen to reach the scene. He told that George Carter, who lives in Apartment 3, of the same address, met him at Seventh and P Streets, and related that there had been trouble at his residence.
Finds Door Locked
Reaching P Street, the officer, testified, he met two men, one of whom was Redmond, who told him there had been a fight up-stairs at the 1530 address. Redmond was taken up to Olden's second floor apartment. Unable to gain entrance through the locked front door of the apartment, the officers went to the kitchen door. "As I opened it," declared Officer Millis, "John Duncan said, 'You're just who I want.'" His head was bandaged. He said, "Come here." Then I saw a man lying on the floor. Duncan was bending over him trying to swab his face. I saw the man's left eye was hanging down to his chin by a thread:
Claims and Denial
"I asked who hit the man," continued Officer, Millis, "and while we were standing there, Redmond became beastorous and rough. Seyg Olden's condition, we called the ambulance and the patrol. Olden's common-law wife and Bertha came in. We held them until the wagon and the ambulance came. All of them said they did it, then all denied. We tried to question them later at the station, but they had all been drinking and we could not

get intelligent replies. The daughter gets she did it. The children seemed to be trying to take the blame for the mother. She said she did it. Then all of them denied they did it."
**Pools of Blood Found**
The officer described the chaotic condition in which he found the house, with furniture showing evidences of a struggle and pools of blood dotting the floor and the furniture.
Sergeant Strange, the next witness, visited the house after the arrests. He also described the topsy-turvy appearance of the apartment where he found the ice-pick and the other articles. The officer went to the hospital to interview, but found Olden in a coma, from which he did not recover before his death, at 9:15 a.m. Sunday.
All the six persons, with the exception of Lloyd and White, the two released, admitted being at the house, the detective stated in giving the details of his interviews with the persons held. The testimony continued, that Redmond claimed he saw Duncan hit Olden with a crow bar and saw Frances hit Olden with a flat iron. Frances said, Sergiant Strange proceeded, that she went after the soda for the high ball and when she returned her husband was on the floor bleeding.
Aroused by Cursing
George Carter, resident of Apartment 3, who went after police, testified he was awakened about midnight by the cursing and the noise in Apartment 5. Starting down the hall, Carter said he saw Olden chasing Redmond. When Olden returned to the apartment from the chase, nothing was wrong with him then the witness declared.
Carter also stated that when he went to the door of Apartment 5 to warn the occupants to cut out the noise or he would call the police, he saw the woman, identified as Mrs. Duncan, striking in the direction of the bed with the small crowbar.
Charles Black, who lives in Apartment 1, declared he heard the cursing and swearing about 11:45 p.m., and started out to call police. Apparently, he remembered that discretion is the better part of valor, as Black said he did not leave his room.
Heard Human Traffic
Moses Tolliver, of Apartment 4, told the jury he was awakened about 12:30 by some one yelling "Let him out or I'll shoot him." Several persons, he said, came out and descended the stairs. Later, he continued, one person came back and he heard a man say, "Get out, I don't want you in hege."
A female voice responded that she just wanted to get her $5, according to the testimony. The masculine voice is then said to have told her to get the money and get out. Later, several more people are said to have ascended the stairs to the apartment.
"Then I heard glass like some one was throwing it" declared Toliver. "Before the officers came, I heard John ask Frances, 'Is he dead?' The girl said, 'No, he's not dead.' A few minutes later, the police came."
Denies Liquor Drinking
On the stand, Mrs. Olden stated that a number of her husband's friends had been coming and going all the evening, but she did not recognize any of them because she remained in her front room while they were at her home. She denied that they were attracted there by gambling or liquor drinking. "I left the house," she said, "about 11:30 p.m., to get a soft drink for a high ball. I left some of his men friends in the house. When I came back, I saw my husband laying on the floor with his eye out, bleeding. My son was standing by him. I saw Redmond and a couple of more men, but I do not recognize them."
Asked whether her husband had had any trouble, Mrs. Olden related an incident which she alleged occurred two weeks ago. Redmond, she said, came to the apartment drunk and wanted to see her daughter. Her son is said to have shut the door in Redmond's face. She accused the latter of breaking into the room. This, she averred,

New Product Grows Hair One Inch in One Month
A new product that positively grows any kind of hair one inch longer in a month is the new discovery of Mile. Renee Guidel, a former nurse in the Hospital des Continents in Paris. This product is so remarkable that Mile. Guidel's name is now known from coast to coast. A few weeks ago an announcement was made by newspapers all over the country, that Miss Guidel would send free samples to any reader. The response was so great it required a little army of thirty-five girls to take care of the requests; and at this writing, Mile. Guidel has received thousands of testimonial letters telling of the wonderful results received so far.
It can be safely said that never before has a new country had any product launched more aggressively than Mile. Guidel discovered it at the Fifth Avenue Salon in New York City. Miss Guidel is constantly demonstrating her product and disguise and the curls and nikes worth from stubble hair as if by magic.

caused the trouble to which she referred.
Statement Repudiated
A statement given by Mrs. Olden to Sergeant Strange, Saturday, to the effect that William White had brought liquor to the house on Friday evening and helped drink it, was repudiated on the stand by White. Recalled as a witness, he stated he took Olden to work at Bolling Field each day and had carried him there. Friday evening, to get his pay and later went home. White stated that he did not drink and had not been on Sixth Street around the time of the tragedy. He further declared that he knew nothing of Olden's death until told by some friends, Sunday evening.
White's name had been handed to police and he was arrested at his home. The jury apparently believed him and acted accordingly. Lloyd, who is now unemployed, stated he went to Olden's early Friday and remained to collect a 70-cent debt after Olden told him to wait until he got his pay. Lloyd also said that Olden was drinking when he returned. Lloyd was arrested when he appeared at the Sixth Street. Saturday around noon, looking for a person who police say never lived there. He was released by the coroner's jury. The two children and Redmond declined to make statements before the coroner's jury.
DUNBAR'S MOTHER
(Continued from page 1) she would like to proceed at once, to renew friendships at Chicago and Washington, and visit New York, with which she is not familiar, as she was here but once, and that when her son was very ill. But there is one thing which mars the tranquility of Mother Dunbar's days and nights, we imagine. And that is a financial condition, for disaster is no respector of persons, and several factors have combined to cause her anxiety. Since I feel that this is a state of affairs which people would not wish to be, I am here giving the names of Mr. Moore, president of the Third National Bank of Dayton, who is treasurer of the Dunbar Memorial Association; and Charles D. Higgins, secretary of the Negro Young Men's Christian Association of Dayton, who is chairman.
One object of this organization is "to assist in the support of the poet's aged mother during the few remaining years of her life." Funds will be administered by this association as Mother Dunbar's monthly needs require. Remittances large and sn.all will be appreciated and should be sent to Charles J. Moore, treasurer, 36 North Main Street, Dayton, Ohio.

The blue tint is a symbol of security—a protective trademark to guide you in buying genuine 'blue coal.' Every bit of 'blue coal' is colored purposely—as a guarantee of its consistently high quality.

MAN IS SLAIN DURING DISPUTE; SISTER WOUNDED
MAN IS SLAIN DURING DISPUTE; SISTER WOUNDED
Alleged Shooter and Man Who Concealed Pistol are Held
A trivial argument between three persons and a woman's scream resulted in the fatal shooting of James Woodard, 29, of 900 Fourth Street, Northwest, Saturday, and the critical wounding of his sister, Rosie Woodard, 35, the woman who screamed, of the same address.
Following a narration of the squabble leading up to the shooting by witnesses, Tuesday, coroner's jury held Coleman Meadows, 37, commonlaw husband of Miss Woodard, for the action of the grand jury, Charles R. Vatts, of the 500 block of Twenty-third Place, Northeast, at whose home Meadows hid the 45 calibre automatic after it had spared death, was held as an accessory after the fact.
Andrew Everett, a worker for the Emergency Relief, and an eye witness of the tragedy, served as principal witness.
Everett told the jury that Woodard was saying something about "his girl eating pork chops and not paying for them." The brother is said to have begun crying and claiming that he was mistreated. He is then reported to have reached into the oven and secured the big automatic. Everett said he and Miss Woodard persuaded him to put the weapon back, which he did.
"Coleman came in with a bag of potatoes," continued Everett, "and asked what the argument was about."
After a few words, Woodard is said to have started upstairs. Meadows is then reported to have reached for the revolver, but stated that he was just going to put it back in its proper place.
Sister Lets Out Yell
According to the testimony, Miss Woodard yelled, "Don't shoot my brother." Everett stated that he and the woman grabbed Meadows who claimed that he was not going to do anything. Woodard rushed back into the room, and grabbed toward a cleaver or butcher knife, the witness stated. He did not pick it up, but as he made the lunge, Meadows broke away and fired at. Woodard, the testimony continued. Miss Woodard was shot in the abdomen when she jumped in front of the gun, receiving one of the bullets in the abdomen.
Further testimony wa. to the effect that Meadows went to the home of Watts and told him that
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1933
he was in trouble and left the weapon at his home as he "did not wish to get caught with it on him." Watts was accused of having taken the weapon from his home back to the restaurant and hiding it there. Miss Woodard is reported to have a fair chance to recover. Her brother was shot three times in the abdomen and once in the arm.

Officer Hallman, who directed the traffic a short distance from the scene, also testified as to his investigation, which corroborated that of other witnesses. Officer Hallman's appearance at the inquest, Wednesday, marked the third time in eight years that he has been summoned to the morgue.
He was called there five years ago in the death of a child who was struck by a taxicab in the 1800 block of T Street. A little less than two years ago, he was called for the second time in connection with the death of an elderly woman in the 700 block of Rhode Island Avenue.

The lad's mother was nearly prostrated when she learned of her boy's misfortune about two hours later. The lad was run over a few moments before 1 p.m. Officers could not reach either the father or mother at their work places at the time of the tragedy. The latter went by the school around closing time, as was her custom, to take her son home. She learned that he was hurt. Hurrying over to the hospital, she learned the truth. Her grief-striken cries rang through the institution for several moments before she partially composed herself.

Mate No. 1 Claims He's Not
Sick and Never Had
a Divorce
When the case of Mrs. Mary
Walker Bolling against her
husband. Spottswood Bolling for
limited divorce and alimony was called
for trial in the District Supreme
Court. Friday, little did she suspect
there was in existence a letter from
a former "dead" husband dated
October 5, 1933, ready for presentation to the court.
Testimony revealed that while
the real name of the alimony seeker was Mrs. Mary Walker Manning, she had married Boiling under the name of Mrs. Mary Walker. She is said to have told Boiling that her former husband, Cornel G. Manning, had died long ago.
Fights Support Claim
Throughout the proceedings, Boiling had declared that he should not be called upon to support his wife because of an alleged bigamous marriage. He, however, was unable to prove his contention because of his inability to locate the "dead" husband. For this reason, his petition to have his wife's suit dismissed met with some embarrassment.
On Friday morning, the day of the trial. Bolling appeared at the office of his counsel. Tignor and Peterson, ano brought with him a letter received the day before from Mrs. Bolling's first husband. It was from the Rev. Cornell G. Manning, itincrant preacher and evangelist of Gaffney, S.C. He related that he had been accused to Mrs. Manning on December 18, 1918, and denied that he was divorged,
dead, or sick, but very much alive. The court, upon admission that the signature was genuine by airs. Bolling on the stand, allowed forth with an interlocutory decree of annulment for Mr. Bolling. It refused to allow the woman any alimony arrears.

A Noble Sacrifice
Without a single mass meeting, the New Negro Alliance has won its first goal, to place Negro clerks in A.A.P. stores. This group of young men went about the job in an intelligent way. They laid their plans before the store managers and waited for the owners to make the next move. When this failed pickets were placed in front of the stores. Within a week the owners complied with the demands and placed several Negro clerks in four of the stores in Negro neighborhoods.
According to members of the Alliance other chain stores operating in Negro sections are to be asked to employ colored clerks and the same methods will be used unless they do so. The irony of the whole thing is that a number of the members of the Alliance are unemployed and cannot work at the jobs they are creating, as they have pledged themselves not to accept any positions. They even refuse to have anything to do with selecting the clerks or suggesting names of men who are seeking the jobs. All selections are made through the service secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A.

The irony of the whole thing is that a number of the members of the Alliance are unemployed and cannot work at the jobs they are creating, as they have pledged themselves not to accept any positions. They even refuse to have anything to do with selecting the clerks or suggesting names of men who are seeking the jobs. All selections are made through the service secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. This truly is a new Negro with a new idea—sacrifice and idealism.
Another "New Deal"?
On Tuesday of this week President Roosevelt commuted the death sentence of Leonard Layton, 21, to life imprisonment, while the death sentence remains to stand for two others convicted in our local court of the same cri—the murder and robbery of Manne Solomon. The President's reason for commuting this sentence, it was stated, is based on the fact that "two great aunts of the convicted man served as laundress and cook in the White House during the administrations of Lincoln and Grant."

While we do not believe in capital punishment, we fail to see just why this one of the trio should be picked for mercy based on any such filmsy reason unless it be that the old spirit of "master and favorite slave" is to be kept alive, and that the "big house slave" is to receive a different justice (?) from other members of society.
In carrying out the principles of the "forgotten man" we think the President should bear in mind that a very large number of American citizens wish to forget slavery and all the injustice and inexcusable favoritism that went along with it. Since the other two men were friends of the man who was friend of the Presidents, President Roosevelt could well stretch his imagination and sentimentalism to commute the sentences of all three.
Friendship vs. Propaganda
Communism has begun to lay altogether too much stress on the race question to mean us any good. Alert Negroes will interpret the latest move of the International Labor Defense—that of picketing the United States Supreme Court in behalf of Euel Lee, convicted slayer—as one of the most hypocritical moves yet taken by that organization. Lee, charged with murder, was sentenced to death following convictions in two separate Maryland courts. A review of the case was denied by the highest tribunal Monday. Two hours later a mob of nearly 100 persons, spurred by the communistic society, attempted to march on the Capitol where the Supreme Court was in session.
They bore placards reading "Save Euel Lee." It probably hasn't occurred to the sponsors of this movement that only a few totally illiterate Negroes left in the country can be expected to swallow such apple-sauce. Capital punishment demands the life of a murderer. Lee obviously is a murderer. In none of his numerous appeals have his lawyers claimed innocence. All have been based on segregation in the Maryland jury system.
There is no question here as to whether Lee killed a white man or a black man. HE KLLED SOMEONE. The color of the skin of the person he destroyed is not considered. The color
There is no question here as to whether Lee killed a white man or a black man. HE KLLED SOMEONE. The color of the skin of the person he destroyed is not considered. The color
of the skin of the one who convicts him should make no difference so long as he offers no denial of guilt.
We give no quarter; we ask none.
The day of the "darky" who expects something for nothing is past.
Negroes of today are grateful for a demand for justice, but they cannot appreciate a request for favors.
Communism must realize that it doesn't take the mind of a genius to differentiate between FRIENDSHIP and PROPAGANDA.

Thinks Pearlie's Prattle Is One of Best Features in The Tribune.
To the Editor:
I wish to congratulate you upon the forward movement of your paper in having a new column known as "Pearlie's Prattle." I commend this for the reason the humor is clean and at the same time amusing. There does not seem to be any personal grudge which the editor of the said column desires to vent on any one, while the column is personal, still it is impersonal so far as the local hits are concerned. I shall become a regular reader of your paper in order to keep posted as to what the folks are doing in Washington. May you continue to go forward and to introduce any and all features that will be of interest to the general public.
Presly Holliday Opines that Alliance Should Encourage More Negro Enterprises.
To the Editor:
Because I was greatly impressed with the remarks made by your Mr. F. H. M. M. at the meeting of the N.N.A. September 30, I am taking the liberty to send you this letter.
Despite the fact that I am anxious to see this campaign for jobs succeed and think it perfectly just for Negroes to demand jobs where they spent their money, why do not Negroes in Washington begin opening up stores of their own? We know some of the many reasons; but still it is not impossible for them to run stores.

There is at least one kind of store Negroes can run and which calls for only a small outlay of capital per individual—and this is the reason for my writing to you:
The system of consumers' co-operative stores which are so prevalent in Great Britain and all the countries of Europe, and which is so ably explained in the literature of the Cooperative League, 167 West 12th Street, New York (especially in the book, "Co-operative Democracy," by J. P. Warbasse, and which can be had at the public library, this city), ought easily to be mastered by Negroes, and would be an excellent means (better than other I have seen advocated) for our people to acquire business knowledge, aside from entering a successful operating concern.

P. Warbasse, and which can be had at the public library, this city), ought easily to be mastered by Negroes, and would be an excellent means (better than other I have seen advocated) for our people to acquire business knowledge, aside from entering a successful operating concern.
I would like here to quote a very significant remark from the address of Dr. DuBois at the recent Rosenwald Conference in this city:
"Twelve million people in the United States can work for themselves and feed themselves—can pay themselves and organize their own industry, unless they are incurably stupid."
I am of the opinion that the N.N.A. at the same time it is campaigning for these jobs should lay the foundation for the creation of jobs by us by initiating our entry into business through the agency of consumers' cooperative stores on the Rochdale plan. I am in doubt whether we enhance ourselves in the respect of the other race in demanding jobs from that race while doing practically nothing to create jobs ourselves.

Crooned soft and low to sleepy suckling
babes
babes
By those black mothers whose abiding faith
Buoyed them through years and years of
bondage cursed
The spirituals exercised Despair's dread
wraith.
They healed the livid stripes from burning
lash:—
Softened the death-bed; lightened days of
toil.
Brought calmness, patience, never lessening
hope.
That time would break dark Slavery's
crushing coil!
No sweeter music than those minor tones.
No thoughts more beauteous, trustful.
staunch, and strong.—
Small wonder then America should laud
The Negro spiritual as its only song.

To Fail the Negro is to Destroy the Purpose of the NRA
Although the Negro is perfectly willing to take his chance—he is not given a chance.
By KELLY MILLER
If the New Deal is to be a square deal, the Blue Eagle must take the Negro under its wings along with the rest. Usually the Negro is not considered as an integral part of the general equation but must be dealt with by a special formula. The NRA was intended to reduce the ranks of unemployment, raise the level of wages and living, and thus promote the return of prosperity. No particular mention was made of the Negro or reference to him. Is he not an American citizen and entitled to share and share alike with the general citizenship of the country?
Kelly Miller
Kelly Miller Although he is perfectly willing to take his chance, he is not given a chance. Special dispensation must be made for him or he will be left out of the picture. He is in truth and deed the forgotten man, and must ever and anon remind the nation of his existence and presence as a factor which must be reckoned with.
This is of course an annoyance and a nuisance to statesmen who are engrossed in the general scheme of things. If Congressman DePriest had not catapulted the Negro into the Forestry act by a special amendment the Negro never would have been thought of in recruiting forestry corps.
The Secretary of the Interior, mindful of this condition, has appointed a special assistant to keep his department advised as to the economic demands of this group. The Secretaries of Commerce and Labor have under contemplation like assignments for this purpose.
Sweeping complaints against the NRA are perhaps premature before these special agents have had time to look around and relate the National Recovery Acts more directly to the requirements of the race. In the mean time complaints are accumulating as the days come and go.
The Negro is left standing in the outer court while the work goes on inside. His unemployment list is growing larger and larger; his break, line is growing longer and longer. The winter is approaching and the need of clothes, food and shelter is threatening. He can only trust Roosevelt and look to the Blue Eagle for shelter under his protecting wings.

The winter is approaching and the need of clothes, food and shelter is threatening. He can only trust Roosevelt and look to the Blue Eagle for shelter under his protecting wings. There is no doubt that President Roosevelt thought and hoped that there would be a place for him. But unfortunately our nice laid plans do not always work out smoothly in fulfilment.
The codes do not cover agriculture and domestic service, the two pursuits in which three-fifths of the race find a livelihood. This is because the individual character of these occupations is such that they cannot be easily regimented. In the big industries where the codes operate, the working man is turned over to the tender mercy of the corporation and the labor unions. The corporations—some of them—are perfectly willing to give him a chance if the labor unions will permit them. The labor organizations who dominate the workingman's sphere promote their welfare through collective bargaining; but unfortunately the Negro is the forgotten man in this collectivity. Contractors and employers, in too many instances, are supplanting black by white workmen where the minimum wage scale of the codes are above the allowance usually assigned the Negro workman. Against this flagrant discrimination there seems to be no effective remedy. Mr. Ickes, long known as our good friend, had decided on complaint brought to him, that the contractors and employers have no authority under the law to dictate to the employer as to the raciality of his employees. We can only resort to the American sense of justice and fair play.
The price of commodities is rising. While the Negro is kept below the minimum wage or shut out altogether, unemployment is increasing within the race which must pay the highest commodity prices; he is out of work and out of funds. The black man is perplexed every way he turns. He has but one recourse—to trust Roosevelt.
During the presidential campaign of eight years ago, the slogan resounded far and wide, "Trust Massachusetts." The nation did trust the State and the statesman. The Negro trusted them, too, but found his trust in vain. Now President Roosevelt and his New Deal every indication shows that his heart is in the right place. He has been so pressed with general issues that he has had little or no time for special application. But he has appointed as his chief assistants who come closest to our needs, Secretaries Ickes, Roper and Perkins. We must trust Roosevelt through his administrators of the NRA to do justice to the most forgotten of all.
The NRA is not yet well under way. So far our case does not seem very roseate; but when the building program is put into operation maybe things will be better. It may require some special dispensation on the President's part to relieve the black man's situation. Such powers have been conferred on him by Congress. The best way to relieve depression is to relieve the point of greatest pressure which would be justified by any reasonable shield of power.
By some ordinary or extraordinary exercise of power the Negro must be given work whereby he can make a living else the whole recovery program will fail. The nation cannot afford to have him as a perpetual ward to be supported out of the public dole. The white working world must share with the Negro either its work or its wages. Charity cures nothing; work cures everything. Yes, we must.
Yes, we must trust President Roosevelt. But as Perry Carson, a famous Negro politician of the District of Columbia once said to a white friend who asked him if he did not trust some white men. Quick as a flash, replied the white-haired war horse of the Potomac, "Yas, I trus' em; but I watch 'em."

Sending the Wrong Man to Europe BY CARTER G. WOODSON,

Clarence Cameron White show be congratulated on his stand against jazz. When the wave can and the vicious musical element dertook to impress actual art into this highly paid service,
This sort of a reply to urgent demands was not very comforting to these Negroes who are facing an economic problem in Europe. In more prosperous times they were attracted to that continent for various reasons, but now they face a hopeless situation for which they are unable to find a remedy. Unfortunately the Negroes going there were restricted in their earning power to few avenues open to the ill-prepared. Now that employment of foreigners is assured to only the exceptional man who is bringing something to that continent most of these Negroes are hard put to it to live.
Negroes Not Prepared
It was useless to ask them why they had come to Europe and had remained there only to be stranded. Several had dreamed of economic advantages, a few had come to have a good time, and a number had undertaken to solve the race problem by transplantation without providing against hunger in the near future. A much larger number came with the wave of jazz which swept over Europe after the World War, and like any other vicious thrill, ran its course and ceased to offer the opportunities once dreamed of.
Talking with stranded members of the once popular jazz aggregations, you hear them complaining that Europeans do not like them now as much as they did years ago. For this change of attitude several reasons are given. Negroes thus employed have not always heaved well on the continent. They have found too much pleasure among the vicious and the criminal classes. Europeans, moreover, are now popularizing their own jazz; and they are employing Negroes from their colonies. Most of "the boys," then, have gone back home; and others will return as soon as they can find the means.
I could not sympathize with these unfortunate probably because I have never been a devotee to such frolicking or dancing as that which they promote. With the exception of indulging in cutting the "pigeon-wing" and the "Georgia buck" forty years ago in Virginia I have had little experience of this sort. I never had the courage to undertake the modern dance after both of my feet became rather large and one larger than the other. I do not seriously object to clean dancing, but it does seem to me that the world can dance without jazz. The people danced beautifully before they ever heard of jazz.
Jazz Craze Waning
It is said that the Negro created jazz. If he did so he should be ashamed of it. The whites claim a jazz king of their own race in the United States, English pleasure centers advertise their own jazz performers, and the Parisian cafes play up "Hot French Jazz." Their ardor for it, however, has considerably cooled in recent years; and we do not find many writers producing books to dispute with the Negro the origin of jazz as they are doing in the case of the spirituals. Jazz has about had its day among thinking people.
The main reason for the change has been clearly defined. Experience has shown that this sort of music is erotic. It has this effect on the performers and the auditors. A statistical study of this popular wave indicates these results. Persons who are concerned with social progress, then, must take steps to restrict jazz and stamp it out as an evil.
I have always felt mortified to see Negroes labelling themselves as "Jazz Spreaders" and "Jazz Hounds." Well might they use the latter term for I have never seen a group that reminds me more of the "Hell Hounds" described by my spiritual adviser in Virginia when he used to try to frighten me into getting religion at the "Anxious Seat." The "Jazz Spreaders" have run many a soul into a veritable bell.
Music's Noble Purpose
I object to such a low use of Negro musicians because of the very concession thereby made. Such Negro performers say by their action that while they cannot use music for the noble purposes which the art has served they can use it to drag men downward. I hold that the Negro has as much capacity for real music as any other race, and the unwilling world has been compelled to concede him a high position in this sphere. It is unnecessary, then, for the Negro musician to stoop so low, especially since he thereby conquers nothing. Dett, I was recently accosted on a street in Paris by a fellow country-
man of color who wanted to borrow enough money to return to the United States. I had to tell him that the same problem had given me much concern since I had been in Europe and that if he could Sehayes and Robeson have moved Europe with the music of a great people without making any such compromise.
Clarence Cameron White should be congratulated on his stand against jazz. When the wave came and the vicious musical element undertook to impress actual artists into this highly paid service, this man stood his ground saying, "I had rather remain in poverty than thus prostitute my talent." Other musicians, weaker than this now outstanding character, went in for cash to be obtained from this vice. Now their careers have been ruined, and the economic reward once assured has vanished like a phantom.
Few Negroes share my attitude toward jazz. I have been surprised to find our leading Negro newspapers and magazines playing up as great successes the Negroes who carried jazz from "U Street." "Harlem," and "State Street" to the European dens of vice. Accounts of their thus giving a new thrill to European degenerates appeared from week to week as one would feature our ambassadric representatives abroad. Highly educated Negroes going to Europe returned with glowing reports of the successful performances of such friends whom they visited there.
Royal Degenrates
A scholarly Negro urged me to look up such a notorious character in London. Before I arrived there, however, he had been deported as an undesirable. Another such performer, whom one of our distinguished leaders asked me to call on had to give up the work for similar reasons. The economic questions, the unemployment of Europeans, had much to do with this attitude, but it is clear that, in the final analysis, statesmen having regard for the future of their country can not see in jazz any contribution to its welfare. There is nothing to the point that these jazz performers serve clubs frequented by Europeans royalty, for some of the worst degenerates of Europe are those of royal blood.
Hitler, then, in spite of his otherwise questionable acts achieved well when he drove the jazz element from Germany. There was nothing racial in this effort. Self-respecting Negroes are welcome in Germany. Hitler set a noble example in trying to preserve the good in civilization. Would to God that he had the power not to drive them from one country into another but to round up all jazz promoters and performers of both races in Europe and America and execute them as criminals! Negroes must join in such a crusade. We cannot win the respect of the world unless we cease to make excuses for and stop defending our vicious classes.

MASKS
Halloween is just around the corner. Soon we will see laughing figures in fantastic costumes and carefully hooded figures roaming the streets. And each face will wear a mask.
Strange how we puzzle and try so vainly to guess the face behind the mask! Strange that the situation should seem so unusual to us! For does not each of us wear a mask through life? Who is there with courage enough to face the crowd without a mask? Who is there who dares uncover his features and be himself? But so cleverly are they worn, who is there wise enough to tell when a human slips aside—for a moment's rest—the mask that is a part of him?
Nothing in life is what it seems on the surface. Nothing works according to the plans of man. For he who triumphantly plays what he believes to be his trump card finds that he has drawn—the dummy. We live on the surface and give to the world surface emotions and surface thoughts. Life is made up of sham and pretense and a man dons the mask that makes him conform to his fellow-companions' conception of him, and the real being is covered up.
Who can lift the mask? Only the man who realizes that life—as we live it—is a shallow thing; the individual who is satisfied only when he has gone deep enough to reach the heart of things. Treasures lie buried deep and one must big deep to find them.
If we are satisfied with what we find on the cover of a book we will never realize that we have missed something or how beautifully the story was written. The same is true of people. That is why so often we misjudge them; because we interpret people in the light of what we can see and sometimes our vision is faulty and we cannot pierce the outer mask and see within.
"Eve," said a writer, "will always be just what Adam makes her."

Digesting the News

HEALTH CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES IMPROVING
Little do we realize the agencies that are constantly planning, working and preparing programs of activity that tend to improve the health conditions of Negroes. At least I hadn't until this fact was so forcibly and clearly explained to me by Dr. M. D. Bousfield, first vice-president and medical director of the Supreme Liberty Life Insurance Company, and president of the National Medical Association.
I caught Dr. Bousfield just as he was preparing some statistics and making arrangements for a hurried trip to Indianapolis where he appears as guest kspeaker before the assemblage of American Public Health Association at the Lincoln Hotel, and addresses them on the subject of "Reaching the Negro Community."
Being privileged to read the speech he had just prepared, I immediately got a new conception of the value of such contacts. I know, of course, that Dr. Bousfield is constantly appearing on programs wherever medical men are interested.
However, I now learn that these many invitations and personal appearances are no idle gesture but are the direct results of a carefully planned program of contacting influential whites, bringing to them the health problems of the Negro, and outlining plans for improvement. Dr. Bousfield was kind enough to explain the origin of this particular bit of propagandized effort. He explained that the large white insurance companies spend millions of dollars yearly on research, laboratory, and clinical work, all with the purpose of finding ways of reducing disease and how to best improve conditions so as to lower the death rate of humanity.
And while this effort appears as a very altruistic one it is also good business, for if the insurance companies can by investing a few millions indirectly lower the mortality rate then these same companies can earn many additional millions by operating at a greatly reduced percentage of their death expectation. While the white companies have these millions to invest in such an effort, the colored companies realize that they have an even greater fight to cause conditions to be so improved that the death rate in the colored field will be materially lowered.
Dr. Bousfield explained frankly that the colored companies do not have the necessary funds for this purpose so their avenue of attack must be made through propaganda, so conceived as to appeal to the reason of the influential whites who can be made to realize that the health conditions of the general public cannot be satisfactorily improved unless the conditions of the Negro are likewise raised . With such a purpose, Dr. Bousfield explained that for years the Supreme Liberty have collected all pertinent data pertaining to the conditions under which Negroes live and by analyzing same it has been possible to place the finger directly on the vital points that keep the death rate of the Negro at such a high ratio.
This information was then clearly compiled and through the printed word and by personal contact this information was brought to the fair-minded officials and organizations of the white race and gradually friends were made who readily recognized the futility of ignoring the conditions of the Negro. The result of this effort has been that within the past few years there is hardly a gathering of any sort, composed of medical men, public health officials, or civic betterment groups, but what Dr. Bousfield has been invited to appear before them and explain the conditions of Negroes in general and to suggest ways of improvement.
In his many talks to these various groups Br. Bousfield always stresses the necessity of improving the housing and sanitation conditions of the Negro. He also advises his white audiences to keep posted with the best thought of the Negro by subscribing to and regularly reading Negro publications, and he emphasizes the equity of employing Negroes on the same basis that whites are employed with equal wages and equal living conditions and he believes that the President's NRA program is going to help materially in this advanced program of improving the Negro's health.

AGAIN THE NORTH VS. THE SOUTH
I have always been a good baseball fan. Whenever I had the privilege of attending a game, the home team could count on me expanding my lungs and letting out loud cheers to encourage it on to victory. But never before have I had the pleasure of getting satisfaction in seeing the home boys take a good beating as when the Washington Senators went down in defeat before the New York Giants for the world's baseball championship.
I got a certain gratification in their defeat. And it was not because I had a bet placed on the outcomes that I should get such a pleasure in witnessing their downfall. My change of attitude toward the home team came after reading an editorial in the Baltimore Sun, dated October 4.
The Sun (in an appeal to the citizens of Baltimore) pointed out that the contest between the two clubs could easily be termed as a battle of the South against the North for the championship of baseball. Since Baltimore and Washington are both considered Southern cities, the Sun urged all loyal Southernners to root for Washington.
After reading the article my mind went back to the banquet at the Occidental Cafe that was given in honor of the pennant-winning Senators and at which the Honorable ? W. L. Robert, assistant secretary of the Treasury, made that speech in which loud and insulting stories were centered on the Negro. Surely, I thought, it was a typical Southern team if it could enjoy hearing such jokes.
The results of the games ran true to fashion if we, like the Baltimore Sun, consider it a contest between the North and South. The Southern states spend three-fourths of their time ridiculing and downing the Negro race, and the other fourth in the way of progress. Yet they wonder why the Northern states are so much more progressive, socially, economically and educationally. While the Washington team laughed at the jokes of Mr. Robert, the New York Giants were concentrating on baseball and their possibility of winning the series.
In 1862, the North and South were engaged in another contest. But it didn't happen to be a game of baseball. It was a real contest—a battle where blood flow instead of base hits and home runs. Our freedom was involved in the struggle. The Lord saw fit to crown the more friendly North with victory. The Negroes' shackles were broken and he cheered the Yankees in their victory.
Last week I cheered, but it wasn't for the Yankees (New York Yankees)—it was or the Giants. They had won another victory for the North.
to stage the almost real life drama of intense love, mystery, abduction, human blood sacrifices, intrigue murder, gorilla war-fare and a death race between two men for the love of a woman.

Margaret Nickerson Martin, author of "Still Waters," is one of our most prolific younger poets, whose life and work in other fields than writing, accentuates and strengthens her poetic output. Mrs. Martin is a mother, and active in human affairs both of home and town, and writes of the things that appeal to men and women everywhere.
This is evidenced by the demand for her own reading and interpretation of her poems, in clubs, church and at social recitals.
She believes that simplicity, both in living and in writing, is the real key-note to success. That she follows this doctrine in her daily life, we are in a position to know. The very simplicity of her poems is one of their strongest charms. Reading them, one cannot help but feel she has lived, mentally at least, far beyond her years. Her poems express a philosophy and straightforward dealing with life as it is, that is as genuine as it is refreshing. In reading such poems as these of Mrs. Martin's, one is inevitably drawn by the desire to know something about the author—what she thinks about her own work and experience.
When asked to relate some of the more interesting high lights of her writing career, she, like most poets, modestly stated that it was all quite ordinary. She went along and did all the things that other people in moderate circumstances did, only her line, as she called it, was poetry. She says she does not recall when she wrote her first poem nor what it was about but says she has never quite recaptured the thrill that accompanied the first reading of her own work in print.

For a change of menu try combining fruits and vegetables, it is surprising how the flavors blend and make the most palatable dishes. Such combinations serve to give variety as they are a bit different. If you have tried any recipes along this line, I would appreciate you sending them in, that they may be passed on to others to enjoy. Try the following:
SCALLOPED SWEET
POTATOES WITH APPLES
OR PINEAPPLE
With Apples
3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
4 medium-sized apples, pared
and cored
Cook the sweet potatoes in boiling water until tender; cool, and skin.
Cut the sweet potatoes and apples into slices, place in alternate layers in a greased baking dish, sprinkle each layer with sugar and salt, dot with butter, add a little water, and bake for 30 or 45 minutes, or until the apples are soft and the top layer is brown. Serve in the baking dish.
With Pineapple
3 medium-sized sweet potatoes
1 can crushed pineapple
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons melted butter
Select a dry mealy variety of sweet potatoes and cook in the skins in water to cover. When tender, scrape, scrap in slices of uniform thickness, and place in a shallow greased baking dish.
Pour the pineapple over the sweet potatoes, sprinkle with salt, and add the fat. Bake in a moderator oven for 30 minutes, or until light brown on the surface and the sirup of the pineapple has become thickened. Serve from the baking dish.
SCALLOPED WHITE POTATOES
6 tablespoons butter or other fat
A sprig or two of parsley,
chopped
Wash the potatoes, cook in boiling salted water until half done, skin, and slice or cut in cubes.
Grease a shallow baking dish, place in it a layer of potatoes, sprinkle with some of the flour and salt.

and dot with fat. Continue until all the potatoes are used.
Pour in the hot milk, cover, and bake in a slow oven for about 1 hour, or until the potatoes are brown on top and soft throughout.
If they become dry add more milk.
Serve the potatoes in the baking dish, and just before it is sent to the table sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top.
SCALLOPED PARSNIPS
Slice and saute in one ta'lespun butter, one medium-size onion. When golden brown, add two cups stewed tomatoes, one and a half teaspoons salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper, two or three cloves, pinch of cayenne, and one teaspoon sugar. Simmer until smooth. Have ready three cups of diced, cooked parsnips. Grease a shallow baking dish and place in it a layer of the parsnips. Add a layer of tomato, then a layer of parsnips, continuing this until all the ingredients are used, being sure that a layer of parsnips is on top.
Sprinkle with three tablespoons grated cheese mixed with one-fourth cup bread crumbs. Brown in hot oven.
Regular or Drop Biscuit
For regular biscuits use this recipe:
2 cups flour
½ teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 tablespoons shortening
About ¾ cup of milk and water
Sift together the flour, salt and baking powder; cut or rub in the shortening, until the fat is thoroughly blended with the flour. Then mix to a soft dough with the milk, or milk and water.
Mix with a flexible knife and turn on floured board. Roll or pat until ½ inch thick. Cut into biscuits and lay them, not touching each other, on a baking pan. Bake in a quick oven (450 degrees F.) 12 to 15 minutes.
And when you want "drop" biscuits, increase the liquid only
Quality
enough so that the dough will drop on the baking sheet without spreading.
If you would like a very fluffy biscuit to serve with honey or marmalade, try doubling the quantity of baking powder called for in the above recipe. The delicious flavor of the crisp hot crust seems to blend to perfection with honey.
A biscuit of this type is also particularly nice served with chicken fricassee. Place a hot biscuit on the individual plate, with the portion of chicken, and pour the thickened fricassee gravy over both meat and biscuit. Many prefer the fluffy biscuit to dumplings.
To be Stuffed
STUFFED SWEET POTATOES
Cut baked sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and scrape out the inside carefully. Mash it smooth and mix it with pepper, salt, plenty of butter and a little minced ham or bacon if there is any. Return to the shells, sprinkle with fine buttered crumbs, and brown in the oven.
STUFFED ONIONS
Select rather large onions, the Spanish variety if they can be obtained. Allow from a half to a whole onion for each person to be served. Cut the onions in half, parboil gently until fairly tender, taking care not to get them out of shape.
Lift them out of the water with a skimmer. Arrange in a buttered pan or baking dish. Scoop out the onion center and chop fine.
Mix with about an equal quantity of buttered crumbs and a few chopped nuts or a little minced cooked bacon or ham. Season the stuffing with salt and pepper.
Fill the onions. Put in the bottom of the dish a few tablespoons of the water in which the onions were boiled to keep them from drying out too much. Brown in the oven.
PRESERVE YOUR TEETH
It often happens that in the rush of the busy day one has not time to give the teeth as thorough a brushing as they require, nor as often. Such busy people should keep on the toilet table a large glass of soda and salt water already mixed.
Take a mouthful of this several times a day and slush it around and through the teeth. It sweetens and preserves the gums, also prevents decay.
Falling down a flight of steps at her home, Miss Louise Matthews, 23, of 751 Girard Street, Northwest, sprained her back, last week.

Laundry Hints
KEEPING WOOLENS WOOLLY
Wool, since it is an animal fiber, is very sensitive to extremes of temperature, rubbing and harsh soap. Great care should be taken in washing woolen garments, in order to prevent fading, shrinking or stretching.
Washing Suggestions
1. Prepare tepid or cool suds, using mild, pure, white soap or flakes. Do not take a chance on home-made soap. A little borax will soften very hard water.
2. Put garment into the suds and wash quickly by gently swirling and squeezing suds through it, repeating in fresh suds if necessary. Do not rub.
3. Squeeze suds out without wringing and put garment through several lukewarm rinsings. Squeeze as dry as possible, without twisting.
4. Spread knitted garment on bath towel and pull into shape according to original measurements taken before washing. Place another towel between front and back of garment if there is any trimming or contrasting color.
Garments made of woven material may safely be hung up. In warm place; never place on a radiator or before a fire.
Small garments such as children's sweaters and adults' wool hose, will keep in better shape if dried over forms.

Dunbar as I See It
Thursday two weeks ago, in the Dunbar auditorium, the "freshies" were entertained by Miss Julia E. Brooks and the sponsors of the senior class. Excellent speeches were made by Mary Reid, Roda Savoy, Maxine Bundy, Grace Hunter, and Julia Brooks. After the speeches the "freshies" were acquainted with their senior sponsors. A delightful repast was served in the cafeteria of the school. I know some of the other classmen wished they were "freshies" that day.
Fleur de Lis Have Meeting
The Fleur de Lis, a club composed of senior girls, held their first, meeting of the year, Monday week. As a result of the meeting Earleen Luckett was given the presidency; the vice-presidency was given to Mary Reid; Minna Arthur was chosen secretary, while the office of masurer was given to Blanche
Senior Class Organizes
As a result of the organization of the senior class, last week, Frederick Davison was chosen president of the class. Virginia Fowler was given the vice-presidency, while the office of secretary was given to Mercedes Murray.
The senior class really intends to do business this year, says Freddie, and we say it takes Freddie to carry on the business. Nice compliment, eh. Freddie?

Senior Class Organizes
seniors together, Friday, to discuss plans for the Year Book. He stated that the Year Book this year must be less expensive, and unless the seniors agreed to have a less expensive book, they would not possess one. That sounded pretty good, but, then did that mean the year books would not have in them the things that the other year books have had? No, they found out later; a less expensive book did not mean that. The year book would have all the necessary requirements of a year book. In the end, almost every senior desired a book for the coming year.
Dunbar Levin wins
Some one said that Dunbar's football team would be a "set-up" this year, for all the players had graduated. The team surely proved differently recently when it defeated the National Training School's team with a score of 3-6. Not bad huh? Keep it up, boys, they'll change their opinions yet.
Senior Class Busy Already
It looks like the senior class is really going to do business all around. At present I am speaking of the Fleur de Lis. It took only a suggestion for Earleen to get busy and assign girls to the four locker rooms. Two girls were assigned to each locker room to see that there is no confusion as to getting in and out of the rooms. These girls are on duty four times a day and should be given consideration. They ask your co-operation. You all know who they are; one can soon learn, however, if one doesn't know, by the saying, "I'm sorry, you will have to go this way."
Actually! The students of Dun-
bar High School are beginning to realize that school spirit is everything in a school. In a meeting of the Observer sponsors, it was stated that if possible the Observer will be brought back into circulation, or should I say, existence. Really, the students all promise to support the paper to the best of their ability. They realize that after all, a school such as Dunbar should have a school paper, and most certainly, they realize that the Observer has gained recognition throughout the country. The students of Dunbar just can't see their "good ole Dunbar" fall down simply because they wouldn't give five cents every two weeks for a bit of news. Now, just to see the "dear ole Observer" again being carried through the halls by the salesmen, they're willing to pay even more. Now, isn't that school spirit for you?
Seek Alleged Insulter of Woman
WILMINGTON, N.C.—A warrant was issued Sunday for the arrest of Herbert Simmons who is alleged to have entered the home of a white woman and insulted her while her husband was absent.
Police were seeking to locate a person by the name of "Jesse", last name unknown, early this week, for questioning into the cutting of Garrison Wilson, 16, of 1222 T Street, over the right shoulderblade, Saturday, at Seventh Street and Vermont Avenue.

DR.C.B.FISHER HEADS ORGANIZATION OF 100
John Pinkett and Maurice Clifford Lead Divisions in Fight for Leadership
Stressing beauty as a means of influencing boys and young men, Dr. Channing H. Tobias, senior secretary, colored work department, National Council Y.M.C.A., delivered the principal address at the rededication and eighteenth anniversary exercises of the Twelfth Street Branch last Wednesday morning.
The speaker was introduced by Garnet C. Wilkinson, chairman of the citizens' committee, who presided at the meeting. Mr. Wilkinson was introduced by Dr. William O. Claytor, chairman of the committee of management of the branch.
Eighty Years Old
Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the branch, gave a brief history of the Y and pointed out that the first work among colored people was started here by a colored man who was employed in the U. S. Patent Office, 80 years ago. The renovising of the branch was made possible by two gifts by two sisters, Mrs. Anna M. Kingan and Miss Frances Young, for $15,000.
Dr. A. C. Christie, white, president of the board of managers, Washington Y.M.C.A., brought greetings from the downtown Y.
Boy Tells of Work
Master Percy J. Pitts told of the work the branch was doing to aid in the development of boys. Miss Louise Burge, of Howard University, sang two selections, while Louia Vaughn Jones, Howard instructor, rendered two violin solos. The invocation was by Dr. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, while Dr. Mordecai Johnson, president of Howard University, delivered the benediction.
History of Twelfth St. Branch
The Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. was the first association organized among colored men and boys in the world. It was founded in 1853 by Anthony Bowen, who became its first president. William Chauncey Langdon, white, was president of the Central Y.M.C.A. of Washington at that time. He and Anthony Bowen both worked in the United States Patent Office and were friends, and had a mutual interest in young men. The first building occupied by this association was located at 1609 Eleventh Street, Northwest.

FORMER DEPUTY CHARGES FRAMING
FORMER DEPUTY CHARGES FRAMING
David Jones, former deputy sheriff of Prince Georges County, now employed as a janitor at 1915 Sixteenth Street, Northwest, claims that he was framed, arrested and thrown out of office by county and district police in September, 1930. Jones asserts he was convicted and sentenced to four years on an assault and battery charge, two years of which he served before he was paroled through the efforts of the prosecuting attorney in the case. He says he has never received a full pardon.
In September, 1930, Jones, in the company of several other county officers, stopped a car, which was driven by the son of District Policeman Tucker. The next day he was arrested by Maryland police. Tucker, who was a member of the arresting party, is alleged to have struck Jones over the head and told him that if he had him in the South he would hang him to a tree.
Jones, who is a veteran of the World's War, is credited with 275 arrests and convictions during his term of office. It was while he was janitor of an apartment house on K Street that Jones shot and seriously wounded the notorious Cat Burglar, who was in the news lime-light during 1927.
Stick-up Gets Small Sum from Jobless Man
Willie Lanham, first block of K
Street, Northeast, was robbed of
$5 by a man who lured him to a
downtown building under the pre-
text of getting him a job.
Lanham told police the man ap-
proached him in the downtown se-
ction and asked him if he wanted
to work. When he answered in the
affirmative, the man told him to go
to a nearby building. Once there,
Lanham told police, the man drew
a pistol and made him hand over
the money.

Auto Mishap Victim Improves at Hospital
Mrs. Dorothy B. Peoples, 23, of 414 O Street; Northwest, for whom slight hopes were held, last week, when she was critically injured, was reported as showing signs of improvement at Freedmen's Hospital, Wednesday.
Mrs. Peoples and her husband, Carol Peoples, were en route here from Brooklyn, N.Y., when their car is said to have struck an obstruction near the District line and overturned.
The husband received slight injuries, but Mrs. Peoples suffered a fracture of the skull, concussion of the brain, compound fracture of the left elbow, numerous other cuts and bruises.
DePRIEST HOST TO LOCAL POST OF AMERICAN LEGION
James Reese Europe Post Shown Many Courtesies by Citizens The James Reese Europe Post, American Legion, proved to be a great favorite among the citizens of Chicago, while attending the Legion National Convention, October 2-5. The Post was warmly greeted by a committee upon its arrival, which was appointed by the citizens' association and local legion posts.
The sight of the bugle and drum corps of the James Reese Europe Post brought requests from the great throng in the station for a number. The corps struck up on its favorite number, "Over There" and was showered with applause at the conclusion. So numerous were the invitations to parties and banquets given in honor of the post, Commander E. L. Person found it necessary to divide the post into groups so that a number of comrades would be represented at each affair.
Guests of DePriest
On Tuesday evening, of the convention, the post was entertained by Congressman Oscar DePriest at his home on South Parkway Avenue, and also Robert S. Abbott, the editor of the Chicago Defender.
Officers Installed
At Tuesday's meeting of the post the newly-elected officers were installed by the first vice department commander, William Kehoe. The officers installed were as follows: E. L. Person, commander; R. P. Rhea, first vice commander; George B. Hunt, second vice commander; Harry Wilson, adjutant; H. L. Bean, finance officer; S. Hansborough, quartermaster; Alex Mann, historian; William Tate, sergeant-at-arms; James E. Lockwood, master-at-arms; M. D. Fletcher, Sr., color bearer; Ruben Hammond, Jr., color bearer; the Rev. L. W. Williams, chaplain.
PRINTER MUST PAY
WIFE $50 ALIMONY
Temporary alimony of $50 a month has been granted to Mrs. Eva C. Drew, of 635 Twentieth Street, Northeast, and her three-year-old child, while her suit for limited divorce against her husband, Russell Frederick Drew, an employee of the Government Printing Office, is pending.
The order was signed by Justice Jennings Bailey.
Mrs. Drew entered her suit against her husband in the District Supreme Court, July 21, 1933. The woman, who is represented by John H. Wilson, alleged that she left her husband because of brutal treatment. He is said to make more than $200 per month in the printing office.
The couple were married in Baltimore, July 4, 1928, and have one child, Russell Frederick Drew, Jr., age 3.
Suffering with a wound in his head which required four stitches to close, Edward J. Lee, 40, of 1706 T Street, Northwest, was carried to Freedmen's Hospital for treatment by members of the Fire Department Saturday. Lee claims that he was struck at Champain Street and Ontario Road, Northwest, but stated he did not know with what he was struck or by whom.
WOUNDED IN ALTERCATION
John Duncan was wounded in an altercation at 1580 Sixth Street, Northwest, early Saturday morning. He was treated at Freedmen's Hospital by Dr. T. C. Simmons. His condition is reported as serious. No arrests were made by the police.

Fake Job Offers, Following Advance Payment, Nets Monetary Gains
Police of the Second Precinct are holding Raymond Perkins, 33 years old, of 1225 Fifth Street, Northwest, in connection with a series of larcenies resulting from tricks allegedly played on unemployed men in the northwest section during the past several weeks. Perkins was apprehended Monday. According to Louis Gatewood, 27, 903 Florida Avenue, Northwest, who appeared as the complaining witness, Perkins approached him a week ago on Seventh Street near N and offered him a joo. When he accepted, Gatewood told police, Perkins ordered him to pay him $8.80 for a uniform in advance and then to report to an apartment on Connecticut Avenue for a job as janitor at a salary of $80 per month. No job was available when Gatewood applied at the address.
Last week, Gatewood avers, he was walking on Seventh Street when the same man approached him with the same proposition. Recognizing him, he strides, he told the fellow to meet him at one o'clock at the corner of Seventh and O Streets, because he had no money with him at the time. Going back to the corner at the appointed time accompanied by Precinct Detective L. O. Mason, Gatewood met the man. The latter was immediately placed under arrest and held pending an investigation of similar complaints coming from other unemployed men in this section.
POLICE PREVENT DEMONSTRATION FOR EUEL LEE
Communistic Sympathizers Halted as They Attempt to Picket Court
An attempt to picket the United States Supreme Court, in session in the Capitol Building, by sympathizers of Euel Lee, twice convicted in the slaying of a Maryland white man, was thwarted Monday when United States Park Policemen mobilized in time to prevent the carrying out of the plan. The desired picket was the result of the refusal of the court to review the case which had been appealed on the grounds that no Negroes were allowed to serve on the jury which found him guilty.
The group of about 50 men and women, arriving here from Baltimore in two trucks, was halted as they hoisted placards aloft, reading "Save Euel Lee," and started to march in formation.
James Green, leader of the contingent and one of the few white men in it, insisted the band had come here peacefully "to ask the Supreme Court to give Negroes equal right and so save life." He claimed he had been told to "get out" and was struck by a policeman. Police denied the man was hit.
Green said the International Labor Defense had sponsored the trip to Washington. That organization was active in defending Lee, alias Orphan Jones, when he was tried and convicted of the ax slaying of Green K. Davis, Ocean City, Md., farmer.
George Simon, 67, store proprietor of Twenty-sixth and E Streets, Northwest, was found dead on the Potomac River bank at the foot of I Street, Tuesday afternoon. He was pronounced dead by an ambulance surgeon from Emergency Hospital.
His wife, Mrs. Harriett Simon, told investigators that the elderly man had left the store shortly after 11 a.m. He had been in ill health for some time. Death was attributed to natural causes.
FOOTPAD ASSAULTS VICTIM
William C. Coker, 43, of 1805 Fourth Street, Northwest, received lacerations of the face from a sharp instrument, Saturday, when a robber attempted to hold him up at Seventh and T Streets.

DRIVER AND TWO RIDERS HELD IN WOMAN'S DEATH
Detective Testifies That Trio Admitted Drinking
Probing into the death of a hit-and-run truck which caused the death of an elderly white woman, the coroner's jury held Martin D. McInturff, 26, white, of Silver Springs, Md., for the action of the grand jury, Wednesday, and also held Robert and John Freeman, brothers, said to have been riding with him as accessories before and after the fact.
Detective Sergeant William J. Liverman, white, testified that McInturff was so drunk shortly after the accident that he could not tell anything about what happened. In a written statement signed at police headquarters, however, McInturff said, according to Sergeant Liverman, that he had hired a colored man whose first name was "Fred" to drive his truck home for him for $2, because he was too drunk to drive.
Driver Identified
Numerous other witnesses pointed out the white man as being behind the wheel when it was overtaken by pursuers several blocks away. The brothers were seated on the front seat with the white driver, it was also stated. When the fleeing truck was forced to the curb, the trio is said to have attempted to escape by walking away.
Sergeant Liverman also testified that the men admitted having drank heavily before the accident.
Officer E. M. Condon, of the Traffic Bureau, testified he tested the truck's brakes and found them faulty. The jury also learned that McInturff had been convicted here sometime ago of drunken driving.
The woman, who died as the result of a skull fracture, was Mrs. Marie Berkowitz, 69, who was struck while walking in the 3500 block of Georgia Avenue, Monday.
SLEUTH TEAM NABS
HOLDUP SUSPECT
Acting on a tip that the store of Jacob Salus, white, of the 1300 block of Seventh Street, Northwest, would be the scene of a hold-up, Saturday night. Detectives Frederick Ashe and Daniel D. Milton, well-known members of the headquarters force, kept the place spotted for several hours and arrested a white suspect just before the merchant closed for the night. Under examination by the detectives, the man whose last name is King, declared that he had stood in front of the store waiting for an employee to come out for the night. He denied any intention of robbing the store.
The suspect was later freed with a warning. He is a former employee of the store.
This is the second time within recent months that tips have been received that Salus was slated to be held up.

Colored Artists Play Big Part in Workers' Dance in New York
NEW YORK—The first of a series of Workers' Dance League Forum recitals posing the question: "What Shall the Negro Dance About?" attracted a more than capacity audience of colored, and white people to the auditorium of the Y.W.C.A. on W. 198th Street, a week ago, Sunday evening.
There was an atmosphere of whole-hearted interest as the audience laid down their programs which announced, first a group of dances by the prominent Negro dancer, Hemsley Winfield, and his group, to a radio broadcast called "Red Lacquer and Jade"; second, Black and White Solidarity Dance by two members of the Workers' Dance League, and, third, a forum on the question, "What Shall the Negro Dance About?"
Seven dances were presented by Winfield assisted by his Negro Ballet. There was imagination and fantasy, emotional lucidity and restraint showing a fine feeling for the music. He always succeeded in protecting a definite mood.
Interracial Dance
The second part of the program was a Black and White Solidarity Dance by two members of the Workers' Dance League. The social theme struck a contrasting realistic note. With sure performance the Negro and white workers went through rhythmic movements depicting work, speed-up, racial antagonism, then realization of class solidarity. The dance reached a dramatic climax when Negro and white workers joined hands in a red front salute.
The forum discussion on "What Shall the Negro Dance About?" was opened by Winfield, who ex-
Cardozo High Girls' League Holds Assembly
The Girls' League of Cardozo High School held its first assembly in the school auditorium, Wednesday, the purpose being to acquaint the new members with the aims of the league, established last year as a self governing body.

pressed the opinion that all races, no matter what color, had fundamental human feelings and ideas to express in movement.
"The Negro has primitive African material that he should never lose. The Negro has his work songs of the South which he alone can express. It's hard for me to say what the Negro should dance about. What has anyone to dance about?"
After the cordial applause for Winfield, Add Bates, Negro member of the Workers' Dance League, said that, "A young Negro should dance about the things that are vital to him. There should be a militant direction there. There should be some fights."
New Type of Dancing
The floor was thrown open to discussion and some very interesting contributions were made by members of the audience, many of whom agreed on one point: "We have come to a newer type of dance," said a representative young Negro girl, "a dance that has social significance. Since we recognize the Negro as an exploited race, our dance should express the strivings of the new Negro. It should express our struggle for social, economic and political equality and our part in the struggle against war."
Winfield, who had been listening very intently to each speaker, in summing up the forum, said: "I have heard things tonight that have made me think."
The Workers' Dance League is planning other recital forums in Harlem to further continue study and discussion on the themes of Negro dances.

FINAL RITES FOR
GEORGETOWN
RESIDENT
Funeral services for Miss Eliza Johnson, member of one of the oldest families of Georgetown, were held at the First Baptist Church, last Wednesday afternoon, the Reverend N. Newsom presiding. He was assisted by the Reverends Mr. Jones and Carter.
Miss Ivy Hamilton rendered a solo, "The Old Rugged Cross." "The Lord Is My Shepherd" was sung by Mrs. Nellie Smith. The church choir offered musical selections also.
Miss Johnson, a member of the Household of Ruth, was looked upon as a lovable character with a life of many noble and charitable deeds to her credit. According to her many friends the joyfulness which marked her presence in the west-end community will be greatly missed.
Burial was in Union Cemetery, Georgetown, where her mother and father, the late Joseph and Sarah Johnson, are interred. Surviving Miss Johnson are three sisters, Mrs. Mrs. Bessie Lee, Mrs. Louise Cole, and Mrs. Helen Martin, and one brother, Edward Johnson.

STARDUST
By EDWARD LAWSON
WHAT HAS HAPPENED
WHAT HAS HAPPENED
when Nita Alden, night club entertainer,
marries a "Marquis" and quite her job.
She works with her friends and becomes an overnight sensation. When Nita divorces her husband and comes back to work, Starling finds work in a night club and later signs a contract with J. Philip Harlan, president of Federal Studios,
who has been a long-time friend in love with Rob Berry, a Harlem columnist, but does not consider him seriously at first because he has so many other girls in love with him. She also begins to like Phil Grange, a young song-writer, who works with her on songs for the picture.
Rob surprises her by asking her to marry him, promising to stop all his running around. Starling puts off her answer until after she has finished her picture. As the teacher calls her into his office for an after-hours conference, and there Rob finds them when he calls to take her home.
Now go on with the story:
CHAPTER IX.
Starling sat by her telephone, wishing that it would ring. It was the evening of her picture's premiere, and she hoped that Rob would call and ask for the privilege of accompanying her to the gala affair. Since the night that he had found her in Phil Harlan's office he hadn't even given her a chance to explain her presence there. The injustice of his actions pained her. He could run around with as many women as he cared to; she was always willing to forgive him, to take him back. But let him find her once with another man—
The phone bell rang. Excitedly she reached for the receiver. If this were only Rob!
But it wasn't Rob. She knew as soon as she heard the voice at the other end of the wire.
"Hello, Star. This is Phil Harlan."
"Hello, Mr. Harlan." She tried to keep the note of disappointment out of her voice.
"I called to ask if you wouldn't let me take you to the premiere tonight, Star. I've just finished arranging everything. Bright lights, movie cameras, microphones—we'll show Harlem what a real premiere can be."
Star took a moment to consider. But she knew she could not accept the invitation. She did not even want to be seen with Phil Harlan again. She could not bear his company, after all that had happened.
"I'm sorry, Phil," she said. "I'd already promised to go with—with somebody else."
"Rob Berry, I suppose?" Phil's voice was biting.
"M—maybe," she faltered.
"Then I'm sorry. I guess I'll have to look around for someone else."
Starling clicked the receiver onto its hook. Tears brimmed up into her eyes, but she brushed them away with the back of her hand. She looked at the clock on the mantel-piece. It was only seven-thirty. Rob might still call.
After a few moments of anxious waiting she arose, dragged herself into her bedroom and began slowly to dress for the event which she had once looked forward to as the crowning event of her career. She felt no thrill of excitement now as she slipped into the new evening gown which she had purchased for the occasion. The whole affair seemed suddenly to have lost its interest for her. If Rob would only call—
The 'phone tinkled again. She ran to answer it. It was not Rob; it was Earl Grange.
"Hello, Star," he said. "I just got into town a few minutes ago and heard about the premiere night. I suppose you're dated up already, but I thought I'd call anyway. At least I can wish you luck."
"Thanks, Earl," Starling said. She looked at the clock across the room and thought quickly. Eight o'clock. She was certain, now, that Rob did not intend to call. And she could not bear the thought of facing that barrage of cameras, microphones, and gossip-mongering Harlemites all by herself.
"I'm so glad you called, Earl," she said. "I had planned to go with someone, but Rob—I mean, he can't take me—"
"Then won't you let me come by for you?"
"I'd love to have you. Earl."
"I'll be there in ten minutes,
then. Be ready."
"I'll be ready," she said happily.
* * * *
Midnight.
Rob swung his little roadster out
of the tangle of traffic which
clogged Seventh Avenue and turned
into a side street. A few moments
later they had reached the out-
skirts of the city and were humming
lazily along on the Boston
Post Road.
"Well, that's over," Earl said.
"Which way shall we go?"
"Let's just drive for a while. The
air's so fresh, after that crowded
theatre.
Earl centered his attention upon
the road for a while, until they
were feet from the congested area.
"That was a beautiful little
speech you made, Star," he said
finally.
Starling laughed. "I was fright- ened to death. Phil should have told me he was going to call me up on the stage before that mob of people." "They liked you," Earl assured her. "They liked the picture, too." "I'm glad they did," Star said. "I think it was the song that really got them. They'll be humming 'My Heart-Breaking Man' until you're tired of hearing it. But I don't guess you'll mind that. You ought to sell a million copies." Earl laughed. "Well, here's hop-
Midnight
ing," he said. Then suddenly his mood changed.
"I'm sorry—about Rob," he said. Starling sighed.
"It was all my fault, Earl," she said. "I didn't expect to find him there at all. When I saw him—with that Nita Alden—" Her voice broke off into a stifled sob.
"Oh, Earl, won't you forget about what happened then? It was such a wonderful night otherwise—"
Earl looked down at her, his forehead screwed into a puzzled frown.
"Are you still in love with Rob Star?" he asked suddenly.
Mutely, she nodded her head.
"He asked me to marry him once," she admitted. "We were planning to have the wedding as soon as I'd finished this picture. But one night he found me in Phil Harlan's office—alone with Phil. He never even gave me a chance to explain."
"I think I understand."
"And ever since, Earl, he's treated me like an outcast. If I didn't love him so—"
"But couldn't you find someone else to love, Star? Someone more—more worthy of you?"
"I wish I could, Earl. But I know I never will."
He drove on in silence for a few minutes. Then: "Are you sure, Star, that you couldn't love me—just a little bit?"
She shook her head slowly.
She shook her head slowly.
"I like you, Earl," she said. "But somehow, all my love seems to belong to Rob. I know he isn't worth it; I know he doesn't deserve one bit of the affection I've given him, but—"
Earl considered the situation as they sped along the deserted road.
"Do you think Rob would come back to you," he asked finally, "if Nita Alden were out of the way?" Starling looked at him in amazement.
"What do you mean?"
"I thought—maybe I could get a place in the city for a few weeks and play up to Nita's vanity. I'd call her up every day and tell her how beautiful she is, I'd write songs and sing them to her, I'd make love to her, and eventually take her away from Rob—"
Starling shook her head with quiet firmness. "No. Earl," she said. "I couldn't think of letting you do a thing like that. It wouldn't be at all right. I can't understand why you'd even suggest—" "It's because, Star," he told her. "I'd do almost anything to make you happy. Somehow I never realized it before tonight, honey, but I'm terribly in love with you. . ."
CHAPTER X.
Starling pushed open the door of J. Philipo Harlan's office and stepped in. "You wanted to see me, Mr. Harlan?" "Yes, Star. Sit down over there. Have a cigarette?" "No, thank you." Starling dropped into the leather-cushioned chair. Harlan lit a cigarette and puffed contentedly for a moment.
"I wanted to talk to you, Stan:"
he said finally, "about the next
starring picture that you are to
make for us."
"If it's a matter of contract,
Starling said, shifting unceasely
under his steady gaze, 'you'd better
see Sam Freeman. He's my manager;
he handles all my business
affairs."
Harlan smiled blandly.
"I have seen Sam already," he said.
"The contract is drawn up,
ready for your approval and signature. But that wasn't what I called you here to talk about."
Phil twisted the cigarette between his fingers, focusing his eyes upon it for a moment. Then he looked up.
"For some time," he said slowly, measuring his words, "I've been trying to find a new leading man for you, Star. I've called on every casting company in town and I've looked through every film test that Federal ever made, without finding exactly the man I wanted. For a while I was struck, and it looked as though we'd have to postpone production on the picture. But, then—" he smiled as he thought of his own cleverness—"I suddenly found him, right on my doorstep, so to speak. I offered him a contract and he accepted tentatively, but only on the rather peculiar condition that you approve of the idea first."
"Who was he?" Starling asked, her voice revealing a trace of excitement.
Harlan hesitated a moment, studying her face. Then he pronounced the name with deliberation:
"Rob Berry," he said.
"Oh!"
It was plain that Starling was surprised, but not displeased.
Two months later, this supreme confidence in Rob's ability had been rudely shaken. The production had been completed, but only after a long wearisome struggle. Studio officials had viewed it, but without enthusiasm.
"It's terrible!" Phil Harlan growled at Jim Bahr, who had directed it. "What was the trouble, anyway? The story was good, the settings and lights O.K., but the picture—" Viciously, he tossed his cigarette into the ash tray on his desk.
CHAPTER X.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 12. 1933
The director squirmed under Harlan's glance,
"It was that Harlem columnist of yours—that Rob Berry—who muddled everything up," he said,
"Who ever told that guy he could act?"
Harlan scratched his head, deep in thought. "It's a cinch we can't make the picture over, just because Rob's acting turned out punk," he said. "But it seems to me that we might inject a little pep into it some way—"
"How about a catchy theme song?" Jim suggested. "That'll put a picture over when nothing else will."
Harlan snapped his fingers.
"That's it," he cried. "I'll get in touch with Earl Grange tonight. Maybe he'll have something we can use."
Starling was in Phil Harlan's office the next morning when Earl arrived a brief case under his arm.
Earl smiled. "All but a few of the words," he said. "I worked all night over the music."
"Great!" Harlan rubbed his hands together in delight. "What is it called?"
"Dreamy Blues' is the title I gave it. Of course if you want it changed."
"Dreamy Blues' is perfect," Harlan opined. "Let's hear the tune."
They went into an adjoining room where there was a piano and Earl began expertly to pick out the notes. The melody was smooth and beautiful; it played upon the emotions, tugged at the heart-strings. The blue notes held a thrill that was all their own. The room was hushed in awe as he struck the final note.
"And now for the words," he said, handing Starling a slip of paper. "You'll have to ad lib where you find blank spaces" he smiled. "I didn't quite get through." Together they worked over the song, until it emerged fragile and beautiful, a masterpiece of modulated blue rhythm.
"Grand!!" cried Harlan. "Patch up the words and we'll have it recorded tomorrow. It'll save our picture."
"Nothing," Earl laughed a few weeks later, "could have saved that picture. But it was a lucky break for us that 'Dreamy Blues' got into it. Some high official in the broadcasting game got wind of it and saw it just to hear you sing. He liked your voice—and the song—so much that he's offering the two of us a contract to go on the air fifteen minutes each day. Sam Freeman just called me about it. He's been trying to get in touch with you all day."
"A radio contract!" Starling's face beamed her happiness.
"I'll write the tunes," Earl said, "and you'll put 'em over for me. What a perfect combination that will be!"

Hill Demands Showdown from Labor Federation
T. Arnold Hill, director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, last week asked William Green, of the American Federation of Labor, to state clearly the position of the federation in the matter of Negro exclusion from trade unions. In a wire to Green, who was presiding over the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor in Washington, Hill said:
"Impervative from every standpoint that current session of the American Federation of Labor shall make known its position relative to Negro labor. National Urban League again draws your attention to race discriminatory practices of various nationals and locals of the federation. The recognition of the labor movement under the NRA places upon it the responsibility of including all workers regardless of race within its ranks. It is illogical with the federation's prestige and power that it should be too weak to bring its component units in line with its own declaration of fairness to Negro workers. We therefore urge that the present convention of the American Federation of Labor take steps to insure the right of membership to Negroes in all its national and local units and thereby remove a barrier that has effectively kept Negroes from participating in the benefits shared by other workers.

And now, folks, we will start down by the Casino and smoke the old gray Ford. She ain't what she used to be—so Flora uses the taxi.
And darn if he ain't a chip off the old block—pipe and everything; plenty of pretty girls. Just like his dear old dad. Watch your step, Chas. Hunt, Jr. Hold everything.
Dear Mr. Chol, have you ever seen a dog that eats fishbones and biscuits? Signed, James Coates, Dear Jim, I have not. But you might write Mr. Ripley or Choat of the Industrial News. The latter was heard to ask the waitress to wrap up a biscuit with those fishbones.
Dear Mr. Chols, how and where can I learn to skate? Signed, Simpa
Dear Simp, just put on a pain of rink skates and start at the top of Thirteenth Street hill and get somebody to give you a push and by the time you reach the bottom maybe you will not want to learn.
—The Consoling Pals held their first dance of the season at Murray Casino last Tuesday night. It was a very brilliant affair and very well attended. This club of young ladies promises to be one of Washington's smartest clubs. Their uniforms of red were very pretty. Good luck, girls.
These were the lucky ones last Thursday night at the Black and White Circle Club, Inc.: Laurence Green, Robert Smith, Ernest Peteraud, Catherine Davis, James Spriggs, Alonzo Taylor, and Eugene Wise.
See you Thursday.
Eady, your 'ticket' please.
Ticket? What you mean—ticket?
Deed, Suh. I ain't got no ticket 'cause my ticket am upstairs on the band stand playing a saxophone!
Mr. Reynolds, the new vice president of the Black and White Club went Elmer Peyton one better. He left the dance about ten thirty and returned with number one and two and then came number three. And did h, squawk—we sez he did.

And now, folks, Mrs. Thelma Hopkins, of the Zonta Girls, says just wait until they give their dance which will be early in November at the good old Casino.

The biology 1 and 2 classes have mastered the use of the microscope, the most important instrument to the biologist. One of their experiments consisted in looking at a printed "e," with the low objective power and then changing to the high objective power, noting the difference. They are fortunate enough to have 32 of these instruments. During the summer months Cardozo received a moving picture machine equipped for sound reproduction with three loud speakers. This is the first machine of its kind in the school system.
The Biology Collecting Club made its first trip this season on Friday. Among the things collected by means of nets were butterflies of various colors, grasshoppers, daddy-long-legs, and moths. These were put into large jars containing poison and beautiful charts of these collections will be made later.
The group was accompanied by Mrs. B. C. Reason, teacher of biology and sponsor of the club.
Cardozo has attracted 110 post graduates this season. Most of these students have come from Howard University, Teachers' College, Dunbar, Armstrong, and Cardozo High Schools.

Hilltop Seethes With Rumors of Football Walkout
TWELVE
"It takes a heap of living in a house to make it home. . ."
Yours truly noseyed around the Howard campus for a full hour Tuesday night, listening to "street-corner arguments" and "barbershop debates" on the probable football strike which looms in the offing up there, and he must confess no little expenditure of interest as the participants waxed eloquent on whether or not. Only the above masterpiece of Edgar Guest was spared being quoted from as far as this writer's limited readings could observe.
Boiled down to actual facts, the trend of the contention in favor of the quad walk-out (which I learn is on the books for next Tuesday) seems to be for the sake of being able to sit down to sore "wormless squash."
This idea of having the Georgetown Athletics, District champions, and the Colesville Tigers, Montgomery County champions meet in a post-season game seems to have the ring of Doug Smith. This alert business-man promoter has just those kind of "brain children." By the way, Doug expects to conduct a stove league over his Ninth and U Streets billiard tables during the winter months.
The Tribune sports department joins a host of other Negro journals in expressing gratification over the escape of five Washington athletic figures and physical education heads from serious injury in the wreck of the past week-end.
Only Burr, Howard University's assistant director of physical education, remains unaccounted for, his condition as he lies in a Richmond, Va., hospital being undetermined.
A loss of limb or organ by any one of these five men would have meant a denial of the very highest degree of character to the field of sports.
Word from Institute, W.Va., has Ernest (Speed) Johnson, former all-round star of the Armstrong Technical High School, coaching the football team of the high school department at West Virginia State College. My highest regards, Ernie.
****
The Washington Passers, capital city's latest in professional athletic contingents, promise something decent to Negro sports followers of the city. Owners of the outfit have expressed a willingness to give Negroes a "break" in scheduling their games for the season. They have also gone out of their way to attract a colored attendance which is exceedingly more than many such organizations have done in the past.
GREEN WAVE WINS OVER BLUEFIELD
BLUEFIELD, W.Va. (Special to The Tribune)—The big Green Wave of Wilberforce University moved another step forward in its quest for the national gridiron championship by taking the color out of Harry Jefferson's "Big Blues" of Bluefield Institute, here Saturday afternoon. The score was 14-6. The victory of the Ohioans was achieved by means of two touchdowns, after which the tries at extra points failed, and a safety. Alternating, the combination of Terry, Hart, Jenkins and White, carried the oval across the Bluefield goal in the opening period. The touchdown was the result of a perfect execution of a faked kick with A. Williams. Force end, taking a pass from Terry.
The visitors scored again in the second period after a march downfield via trick plays. Jenkins toed the ball over for the second six-pointer. Bluefield's score came as a result of a perfectly-placed kick and some nifty broken-field running by Banks.
Wilberforce blocked an attempted Bluefield punt for the final two points.

Blue and White Squad Threatens Strike After Opening Game
Blue and White Squad Threatens Strike After Opening Game
University Authorities Charged With Being Cheap at Tuesday Indignation Meeting; Petition Signed Protesting Conditions
By SAM LACY
Probably the most serious uprising since the walk-out of 1927, which culminated with the removal of Louis L. Watson as head coach of football, threatened the hilltop, late this week, as belligerent members of the Howard University football squad protested against the treatment accorded them by school officials.
Although a majority of the players were non-committal on the subject, it was generally admitted that trouble similar to the affair of six years ago is brewing. At that time players, augmented by the Student Council and student body, fought vainly against abolition of the football training table. A strike was called and the players refused to take part in practices leading up to the opening game. The climax was reached, however, when President Mordecai W. Johnson delivered his "You are-my-children — I love-you-all-regardless" speech. Shortly thereafter there was a grand scramble for uniforms as players, old and new, sought to get back on the squad.

Veteran Describes Trouble
According to one player, an outstanding veteran and the only one who would offer any definite information on the present squabble, the squad is expressing dissatisfaction with the inferior material with which the team is equipped. The feeling is, the Tribune was told, that if the university could afford to spend money on reconditioning the gridiron it has no right to send its players into games dressed in "pimp" uniforms. The expression "pimp" was apparently used to describe a cheapness which the players claim characterizes the uniform material.
Several "lamp-post discussions" held in various parts of the campus and nearby neighborhood preceded an indignation meeting which took the place of the Tuesday afternoon practice. Instead of the usual drill members of the squad attended a protest meeting in Clark Hall. Here a petition, complaining against the inferior equipment and the practice of university officials in ignoring the plight of athletes who come to the university in the hope of finding jobs to keep them in school, was drawn up and signed by the men present. That petition was slated to be forwarded to the coaches, Board of Athletic Control, and the university president, Wednesday afternoon
It was agreed, however, that no further steps would be taken until after the game with St. Paul had been played Saturday, according to the informant. The team turned out in full for Wednesday practice. Following that opening engagement the squad has indicated that it intends to await action by the university.
Speculation is rife as to whether or not the protest of the players will meet with any success when the university heads take it under consideration. It is a known fact that the administration is not in favor of athletic over emphasis, and Dr. Johnson himself has gone on record as being bitterly opposed to football except as a measure of physical development. His position holds education as the principal motive for Howard's existence.

Old Champion in Scholastic
Football
Conference champions and teams in line for championship fell like leaves in an autumn breeze in S.A. H.S. scholastic football ranks over the week-end.
Armstrong and Bates, co-holders of the conference crown, were turned back by Howard High of Wilmington and Dunbar High of Washington. Howard defeated Armstrong by two touchdowns, while Bates, picked by many to return to the heights it enjoyed in 1932, was defeated by Dunbar 13 to 0.
Play like the ducks of old, Douglass High, Baltimore, defeated Manassas Industrial Institute 13 to 6. This non-conference affair was the first game of the season for Coach Gibson's charges.
Dunbar opened the scoring in the first period. The Poe's were held for downs twice in the second period in scoring distance of the goal. The Poes also scored in the fourth quarter on a march from mid-field led by Plummer, R. Williams, and Harrod.
Smith directed the play of Bates eleven on Friday and lid a good job of it. The Dunbar line was practically invulnerable. The captain, finding that they could not make much headway through the line, resorted to the air and made most of their yarddave and first downs via the air. In the fourth quarter Smith dropped back into what looked like a kick formation, with backs and ends spread wide. Instead of kicking, Smith passed. It was a long heave to the left corner of the field and with the Poets' backs around him, Davage knobbed a pass fifteen yards from the goal line. After a thrust at the line Smith shot another pass to Davage in the end zone which he dropped with no one near him. Thus ended the one serious scoring threat.
Dunbar Faces Hard Task
The Dunbar following may well wonder for their team this season. A revelation of the season's prospects would indicate that Douglass, an improved team with a victory over Manassas, will be just as hard to beat at last year. Hereafter will come Howard with a victory over Armstrong and Cardozo in succession, followed by Armstrong that also defeated Bates.
Howard Clicks Nicely
The Howard team seems to have more power than it has had for several years. Their condition is remarkable, the backing excellent. The team clicked nicely in spots and Coach Naylor predicts if the team stands up without injuries, they will end the season in the first division. Coach Naylor has two strong backfield combinations, Wright, Brown, Laper, Church, Wilson, Rutter, McDonald, and Ford.

STORER AHEAD IN GRID INAUGURAL
HARPER'S FERRY, W.Va.—The Golden Tornado of Storer College met the blue-jerseyed teachers, Cheyne State College, on the Storer gridiron and a great game was played with neither team getting the advantage.

Dunbar - Manassas Game Postponed; Injuries Cause
The football game between the Dunbar High School and Manassas Institute elevenes scheduled for the Walker Stadium Wednesday, was postponed. The failure of the Virginia team to show up is believed to have been the result of injuries to a large number of players received in a recent game and which had not sufficiently mended to permit the placing of a representative team on the field.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune
"Old ball players sniff at and call him a 'nigger' shortstop. This is baseball's term for a player who makes what the old eggs deem fancy, show-off plays, in the manner of the Harlem black belt pastimers, although many a big league manager would like to have players capable of making plays like those darkskins. . . ."
The foregoing is an excerpt from the writings of Damon Runyon, perhaps the most outstanding sports writer of the country, in an article appearing in the Hearst morning papers of last Saturday.
Runyon, always considered to be a pretty square sort by us guys who earn our vittles writing, in that brief but reflective statement, sounds the keynote of the song of the Negro baseball player. Despite the fact that he immediately follows with an admission that many of our boys could make the "big time" were it not for the color of their skin, the popular author of "Between You and Me" has spent on us "a crack that isn't all hollow."
Our boys play good baseball, but they'd rather clown.
The very names by which they post themselves, and thereby hope to gain popularity, reveals a tendency to exploit their "laugh-getting, look-at-me" proclivities rather than their ability to hit, run, catch and throw.
Such monickers as "Cool Papa," "Smokey Joe," "Shovel-Foot," "Mule" and "Devil' indicate, more or less, a preference for the position of end man on a ministrel show rather than of first baseman on the Harlem Jintts.
I've often felt a desire to see "Showboat" Thomas, of the Philadelphia Stars, play ball "under wraps." And when I say "under wraps" I mean (in this particular case) I'd like to see him equipped with blinders and ear-stops—you know like those things they put on fractious race-horses.
I honestly believe if Thomas were made to play with his eyes so focussed that his attention could be no place other than on the game, and with his cars clogged against the noise of the stands, he would be the greatest fielding first-baseman doing business today.
But, unfortunately, the hub-bub of the crowd to Thomas is as "Hi-de-ho" is to Cab Calloway. One cheer sets something of the "I'm-the-guy" variety to working inside of the gawky ex-Baltimorean, and right away he seems to want to turn terpsichore, tumbler and Charleston king all in one. As a result easy throws are muffed, ground balls are booted and pop-files are manhandled.
Incidentally Thomas displaced another of his kind—Mule Suttles—when the former first went to the Baltimore Black Sox. It so developed that the latter apparently lost out because his chief claim to fame lay in an ability to appease the crowd by performing farcaless gyrations with a short, stout stick which he waved mercilessly at an elusive small, round horsehide.
When finally it came to pass that the little pellet could hop over, drop under or waft around the big one's bat with little or no effort, the usefulness of Suttles in Baltimore was all washed up.
Following a short season with the Washington Pilots, Mule heeded Greeley's slogan, "Go West, young man," and he went. He now reposes for the winter after a season in Chicago where he thrilled the crowds with his bat-swinging antics.
Now then, so much for that.
Although he doesn't say as much, a discerning reader can see that behind Runyon's statement is the inference that colored baseball would parallel—and in some cases excell—white baseball, if $\rangle$
In other words he feels that the major portion of Negro players are of the effervescent type—you know what I mean. They're like ensom salt—you can't take them seriously except for the time being.
Let a lone Negro play a part before a critical white audience Invariably the MONKEY in him will steal the show from the MAN.

BOW TO CARDOZO
The Cardozo football team, playing its first game of the season, defeated National Training School on the latter's field Saturday by a score of 19-6. The game was hard fought all the way but the team work of the Cardozo eleven was too much for the Training School boys.
Milt Robinson, full back, scored 12 of Cardozo's points and Smack Lucas scored 6 on a pass from Robinson. Arthur Harris at half back and Abie Spells at end played a good game for Cardozo. Joseph Epps scored the only touch down for the training school boys on a perfect play.
Alexandria Roamers Win Over Baltimore Rovals
BALTIMORE, Md.—Before a crowd of approximately 300 fans, the Alexandria, Va., Roamers defeated the strong Baltimore Royals in a gridiron contest, here last Sunday, by a score of 12-7.
Dumpy Thompson and Bib Boy Scott, who scored the two visiting touchdowns, were easily the outstanding performers of the game. Too strenuous a protest of a decision by Taylor, of the visitors, led to his disqualification by the referee.

The Colesville Tigers, headed by Lil Willie Braxton, champions of Montgomery County, will play hosts to Doo Dad Dorsey's District champions, the Georgetown Athletics. Play is scheduled to get under way at 2 o'clock p.m. The Marylanders, boasting quite a record for the year and exhibiting three members of the Washington All-Star combination, promise a merry battle fo the west-end aggregation which walked through the Washington Tribune Round - Robin Tournament with only one loss, that in the opening game when they were minus their full strength. The Dorsey clan, on the other hand, expects to take the measure of the Colesvilleans.

Orange and Blue Trimmed in Wilmington Engagement by 12-0 Score
WILMINGTON, Del.—A fighting Howard High School eleven met and turned back a stubborn Armstrong Technical High School machine, from Washington, D.C., in the former's first game of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference, played here, last Friday afternoon. The locals won, 12-0.
Wright, quarterback of the Blue and White lads, proved the big threat to the Armstrong cause. The fleet and shifty youngster skirted off-tackle and around end with remarkable consistency. Both touchdowns were garnered by him. The victory was the first achieved by the Howardites this season in conference play. It was also Armstrong's first loss.

VERDELL, INJURED DRILLS BISONS FOR ST. PAUL
Howard Coach Shows Courage in Preparing Charges for Opener
Howard University Bisons have an example of grit daily in their gridiron grinds under the tutelege of Coach Tom Verdell, who reported to his team, Monday, against the orders of his physicians following an automobile accident, Saturday night near Richmond, Va.
"We've got plenty of work to do before we meet St. Paul on Saturday," Verdell said, Monday. Although yet feeling faint at times, the Howard mentor sent his grid charges through their paces with plenty of nep.
He was badly shaken up when the car in which he and other physical directors of this city were returning, after witnessing the Lincoln-Union game in Richmond, was struck by a passing car and catapulted several times. Plenty of backs and a green line is the picture of the Bisons as they prime for their opening encounter on Saturday in the Howard Stadium against St. Paul. Concluding a three-week training period Coach Verdell expressed confidence that his charges would turn in a victory over the Lawrenceville, Va., lads. St. Paul defeated Shaw University, Saturday, by a score of 12 to 0, and is expected to bring a strong team to Washington this week after having ironed on their first-game kinks. A starting line-up had not beer selected from the Bison squad on Wednesday.
Assistant coaches Bill Bell and Thomas Hawkins are aiding daily in the drills of the Hilltoppers.

Dunbar Lads Have Little Trouble Disposing of '32 S.A.H.S.C. Champs
Counting in the opening and final quarters the Dunbar High School football team took the measure of the 1932 co-championship Wiley-Bates High School eleven in their opening conference game of 1933, last Friday afternoon, at Walker Stadium. The score was 13-0.
Justin Plummer and Robert Williams were the scorers for the Poets, each accounting for one touchdown. Charlie Jase, substituting for Harrod at halfback, added the extra point which gave the locals their odd point.
At no time throughout the contest was the visiting outfit on the upper hand of the battle, Coach Charlie Pinderhughes's squad working with machine-like precision and in mid-season form. The Annapolis lads were completely out-done.
Except for Lawrence Adams, invading quarterback, the aliens presented no individual player as a menace to the ultimate Red and Black triumph.

TIGERS VANQUISH SHAW BEARS
TIGERS VANQUISH SHAW BEARS
By SONNY STRAYHORN
LAWRENCEVILLE. Va. — The St. Paul Tiger spot off to a flying start for a successful season by smashing a determined group of Shaw youngsters, here last Saturday, by a score of 12-0.
The Tigers were a little slow at the start, but the break came when a pass thrown by a Shawite was intercepted by Jenkins, Tiger tackler, who galloped eighty yards for the first touchdown. In the second half the Bears made repeated gains on line drives and short passes. Jingles, Shaw halfback, accounted for most of the yardage made on the plunges, and Levister was the outstanding star of the air attack.
Things began to look bad for the Tigers, until the last quarter, when Gil Jones, ex-captain and halfback, entered the game. Immediately the Tigers showed new spirit. Jones by passing, plunging and kicking, brought the ball up 75 yards. Shaw was utterly unprepared for such an onslaught and very little resistance was offered the mighty Orange and Black machine for the final touchdown.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter Miner passed to the fouryard line, Tignor then plunged through center for the touchdown.

VA. STATE BOWS TON-C.EAGLES
PETERSBURG, Va. — North Carolina State College defeated the Virginia State College Trojans on the latter's home grounds, last Saturday, by the score of 7 to 0, in a hard-fought and thrilling game. The game was featured by the ferocious play of Malone, Doones and Bryant, and the passing of Malone for North Carolina; while the long scintillating end runs, the kicking and passing of Shagg Courtney provided the outstanding thrills from the Virginia side of the encounter.
The score came in the latter part of the second period, after Payne, who had been unable all along to get much distance on his punts for Virginia State, kicked out of bounds on his own 27-yard line. From this point the Eagles flew over the Trojans' goal line on the wings of four plays, consisting of two plays through the line by Malone and Bryant, which netted little distance, and two of these passes from Malone to Holmes, which were good for gains of 7 and 14 yards, respectively.

Approximately 1,000 rabid fans looked on as Edgar Lee, former all-count star of the Armstrong High School, of Washington, led the local Panthers to victory over a visiting Lion pack, headed by the 'stellar Eugene Minns, ex-Dunbar High School star. A score of 20-0 was the margin by which these two youngsters, always friendly enemies, saw the C.I.A.A. schedule open here.
Union's initial tally came when the Panthers drove the Lincoln Lions within the shadow of their own goal posts on Gut Williams's 34-yard pass to Poole. Winfree made three thrusts at the Lion line to score a touchdown. Williams kicked the extra point. Poole added two more touchdowns in the second half on two 53-yard gains on Lee's passing.

Williams's kick-off to Lincoln was received by Minns, ex-Washington, D.C., high school star, on his 12-yard line, and he supplied the game's initial thrill with a reeling return run to Union's 39-yard stripe. Lincoln attempted the Union line, was repelled, and Union took the ball on her own 47-yard line.
Both teams battled on rather even terms until the waning moment of the first quarter when Williams surprised Lincoln with a forward pass to Lincoln's 12-yard line. Winfrey made good the scoring threats through the Lincoln line. Williams converted to bring the score, Union, 7; Lincoln, 0. Inspired by their early lead, Union relentlessly pushed Lincoln back, to hold the upper-hand for the first half.
S spurred by Coach Julie Martin's "half talk," Lincoln came back fighting in the second half and rushed Union's kick and aided by two penalties, reached Union's 8-yard line. Coleman's fumble, recovered by Poole, after Lincoln had held Union in two downs, gave Union the ball, and Lee kicked out of danger. Lincoln b rought the ball back to Union's 47-yard line and kicked to the 20-yard line. Union took the offensive on her 20-yard marker and a rookie, Parker,

Again Lee heaved a pass to Poole, who romped rough-shod over three remaining Lions to score Union's third touchdown. Lee converted to bring the total to 20 points. Lincoln attempted in the waning moments of the game to retaliate via the air, but alert Union backs foiled the attempt by Lee's interception of three passes.

The Douglass High School team of Baltimore is here again. It meets Armstrong at the Walker Stadium, Friday. A year has passed since the wearers of the Royal Orange and Blue battled the cohorts of Leonard (Duke) Gibson over in the latter's back yard.
Armstrong is playing its first home game and Douglass its first pressure game. It ought to be some football game, this hour's battle between Westmoreland's now seasoned team and the Baltimore lads.
It's a great game, this Armstrong-Douglass game. It always has been. Not an objective contest for either team, but hard solid, mid-season football—give and take. Three times for the past three years these teams have battled to a tie. In 1930, 0-0; 1931, 7-7; and 1932, 0-0.
Armstrong, despite its 12-0 defeat at the hands of Howard High at Wilmington last week, has a stronger and more rounded out attack, more tools with which to work.
Probable line-up for Armstrong: Shepherd, end, Huntington, Newport News.
Brock (captain), tackle, Culpeper, Va., grade school.
Logan, end, Garnet-Patterson.
Wiggins, quarterback, Randall.
Harrison, halfback, Garnet-Patterson.
Clarke, fullback, Francis.

Xavier Loses 7-0 Decision to Alabama Hornets
NEW ORLEANS, La.—Despite the loss of George Mills, plunging fullback, and Albert Mitchell, star halfback and long distance punter, who were left home to nurse aggrivating injuries, the Alabama State Hornets of the Southeastern Conference inaugurated athletic relations with Xavier University of the Gulf Coast Conference by battling their way to a 7-0 victory over the Catholic institution to add another nitch in their belt for championship honors, here last Saturday.
State took the lead early in the game when Scrivens made runs totaling 36 yards and "Jimmy" Fields contributed 9 yards, culminating in a touchdown for the Hornets in the first three minutes on the field. E. White was successful in kicking goal.
HAMPTON DOWNS
JOHNSON C. SMITH
ELEVEN, 42-6
Seasiders Outclass North Carolina Outfit; 3 Teams Used by Pirate Coach
By Lawrence I. Brockenbury
HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—A fighting band of Johnson C. Smith warriors were completely buried under a smoothly-working Pirate outfit by the overwhelming count of 42-6, on Armstrong Field, last Saturday.
Not until late in the dying minutes of the final period were the Golden Bulls able to penetrate Hampton territory. It was then that Captain Bear Scirm began to heave passes all over the field, taking the pigskin to Hampton's one-yard stripe from where he plunged across for the lone tally. His teammates, Simmons and Boyd, the recipient's of his bullet-like tosses shared the honors with him for ground gaining.
The Pirates looked every bit like a championship aggregation. The Arkansas sensation, Powerhouse Ike Richmond, was at his best. He circled the ends; he smashed the line; and he kicked whenever it seemed necessary, once from the 35-yard line when his drop kick went squarely between the uprights for three points. His running was greatly aided by the blocking of his mates, particularly Hooker.
After the game had been safely put on ice, Gid Smith sent in his second and third teams. There seemed to be little difference, however, as they continued their unstoppable march to the double stripe. Long runs featured the contest throughout, the most spectacular of these being made by Robinson, freshman halfback, who raced seventy yards behind splendid interference. When speaking of outstanding man, little can be said without mentioning the work of Little Pig Baylor, the diminutive 130-pound flash, who directed the Pirates for the final quarter. His excellent generalship, tackling, and blocking spurred his teammates on and gave the seasiders two more touchdowns.

MORGAN TRIUMPHS OVER A.&T. IN SEASON DEBUT
College Titleholders Count 37-0 in Initial Game of C.I.A.A. Schedule
BALTIMORE, Md.—Piling up a score against the A.& T. Argies of Greensboro, N.C., the Morgan Bears clawed their way to victory in their first conference game of the season at Baltimore, last Friday night.
Coach Breaux's fighting eleven entered the game with a determination to awege the shut-out of last season, and during the first quarter held the Bears to two first downs, but from that point on Morgan was not to be denied.
The initial score of the fracas came in the second period following a series of long off-tackle runs in which Wilson and Sturgis ripped off substantial gains for the Bears, to carry the oval to the 30-yard stripe from where Big Tom Conrad swung into action, and in one play played the Aggie goal line.
Thereafter Coach Hurt's eleven uncoached the type of gridiron play which gained for it the 1932 crown, Cross-bucks, lateral passes and broken field runs netted a total of 24 points before the session closed.
The second half saw the Bears add 13 points to further the evidence of their superiority.
The Morgan offensive showed up exceptionally well as a whole. Simpson, new to the college football, repeated his outstanding work of his first game. Morgan's Conrad-Wilson - Sturgis - Troupe backfield "express" came up to all expectations in gains and scores. Taylor again made substantial gains for the Bears, and Jordan showed some fine backfield tactics. Morgan's line work featured the tackling of Williams and Gibson, and the blocking of Drake, Burkett, Hall, Rosedom, Mosby, and Mack. Dillard and Norman were outstanding on the Aggies' offensive, while creditable line work was done by Shute, Kennedy, Marble and Burgers.

"EMPEROR JONES" WITH PAUL ROBESON IS LINCOLN FEATURE
"Emperor Jones" is a triumph in every sense of the word and its name will be blazoned over the marquees of every prominent theatre in the country during the present season. The picture is a complete character study of a man, his rise to heights, his inevitable downfall, and his reversion to type as retribution overtakes him.
It is an exciting, moving, dramatic and tragic figure that parades across the screen in the superb person of Paul Robeson.
The screen is indebted to Dudley Murphy for an unusually fine production that will certainly place him in the top ranks of directors for a picture that will not be forgotten ten years hence.
After seeing a preview of the picture a newspaper man said:
"It has been a long time since the screen has seen anything like the performance of Paul Robeson. It is the kind of performance that calls for a whole new list of adjectives. The picture is Robeson and he is the picture. There isn't a scene he isn't in and doesn't dominate. And of course his glorious voice is lifted in songs that have made him famous.
"Despite the face that the picture is definitely a one character study, there is no lack of action and plenty of drama in every moment of the picture."
The supporting cast is excellent, with a standout performance by Dudley Digges, the only white man in the cast.
"Emperor Jones" is a great success. Everyone is talking about and will want to see the magnificent performance of Paul Robeson, which comes to the Lincoln for a week beginning tomorrow, Friday, October 13.
Rosalia Management Fetes Schoolboy Patrol
Seventy-five members of the Southwest schoolboy Patrol were the guests of Manager Washington of the Rosalia Theatre, on F Street, Southwest, at a Saturday morning picture showing and informal "get-to-gether."
Manager Washington made a talk to the lads, who were enthusiastic over the show, and it is understood that the Rosalia will give a similar entertainment to the boys at certain periods. The Rosalia is a Lichtman Theatre, and the management, under Mr. Washington is very much pleased over the excellent behaviour of even the youngsters who attend his shows. He told the Tribune that he had very seldom any cases of annoyance in the theatre, due to boisterousness or loud talking on the part of his customers.

ruled for an engagement of seven days, starting Saturday, October 14.
With the city of Shanghai and its spell of intrigue as the picture's background, the story of the film is said to run through the entire gamut of screen expression. It has drama, romance, comedy, action, adventure, and intrigue.
"Shanghai Madness" is said to give Spencer Tracy a remarkable opportunity for the display of his acting abilities, and Fay Wray was selected from among dozens of prospective players for the leading feminine part. Others in a cast, notable for its careful selection, are Ralph Morgan, Eugene Pallette, Herbert Mundin, Regional Mason, Arthur Hoyt, Albert Conti, Maude Eburne, and William von Brincken.

The story is a fast-moving drama of America's big money lane, with Ricardo Cortez giving an unprecedented performance as the boy wizard of Wall Street. He finds plenty of business and romantic opposition in Richard Bennett, who, in the role of a ninety-seven-year-old financial baron, fires a bombshell right in the middle of his plans. You will enjoy the dramatic series of events as the two rivals are seen gathering their forces, each to strip the other of glory, power, and wealth.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
To meet with success something more than a small effort, or a series of small efforts, is necessary. It is not by short, fiftyful jerks that a boat is forced against the current. The oarsman stretches himself to do his work, puts all of his momentum into it, does not rest upon his oars long enough to be carried back by the current, but perseveres—and in this way only can he reach the goal. It is just the same in life—the long strong pull conquers all opposing forces.
William (Agriculture Department) Watson, Vassar (State Department) Gibson, and Frank (War Department) Harris, who were prominent among the many Federal employees present at the last open meeting of the New Negro Alliance, believe that the executives of this organization have the above paragraph in mind. This group of energetic, earnest, and intelligent young men and women, well schooled in economics, law, organization, and business administration, has succeeded in demonstrating to the more than 150,000 Negroes in Washington what intelligently directed concerted effort will do in assisting the other fellow to understand your point of view.
The fact that one of the nationally known chain stores has promised, after a conference with an Alliance committee, to not only appoint colored clerks in all of the stores in colored neighborhoods within a reasonable time, giving said clerks ample opportunity for promotion to managerships, but also promised that colored clerks will be appointed on the same basis as all others and given the same training, opportunity and treatment generally, is more or less stale news now. So is the fact that the two Alliance picketeers, who were arrested week before last for parading without a permit and fined, had their collateral returned, and heard their defense lawyers present possibly the best-prepared case ever offered by a counsel for the defense in the history of the Police Court.
Trezzvant (P.O.) Anderson, president of the Washington Press Club, and regional representative of the Associated Negro Press, and Elder Solomon Lightfoot Michaux are two of the capital city's representative citizens who are whole-heartedly in accord of the ultimate aim of the New Negro Alliance to place Negro employees in all businesses in all neighborhoods where the patronage is primarily colored. Elder Muchaux, whose Radio Church of God's congregation numbers more than 7,000, and whose radio audience is about 70,000, in a recent address to the Alliance stressed the importance of intelligently directed concerted action. Mr. Anderson has stressed the importance of saving the editors and publishers on the aims of the organization so that they may be well informed in order to correctly and accurately chronicle the facts for the reading public.
The New Negro Alliance grew out of the intelligent zeal of a group of young college trained men headed by J. Aubrey Davis, Belford V. Lawson, Jr., and Franklin Thorne. The leadership is finely educated and for the most part technically trained (one of the deputy administrators being H. Navlor Fitzhugh, who received his degree of master of business administration from Harvard University on June 12, last). The legal staff of the New Negro Alliance includes Edward Lovett, Edward Beaubian, Henry Lincoln Johnson, Jr., and William Hastie, Jesse Lewis, a teacher of finance at one of the local universities, is the treasurer.
Alain Locke, doctor of philosophy, who is head of the department of philosophy at Howard University, musician, and author (writer of "The New Negro") recently addressed the New Negro Alliance, claiming he saw in their program a hope fulfilled which he has cherished for some time.
This is essentially a youth movement, with the intelligentia in the lead. It is unique among movements sponsored by the intelligentia in that this organization has undertaken a specific, concrete task, and does nothing which will tend to divert it from its course.
They have had approximately 10 Negroes rehired in places from which they were fired, have secured new positions for more than a half dozen, have secured important promises from one of the leading chain store organizations in the world with a goodly number of branches in Washington.
Practically all of the college fraternities are allied with the New Negro Alliance. Boyd (Commerce) Clarke, president of the popular and select New Orleans University Club, had the pleasure, last Sunday, of priding at a meeting of his organization where the membership, which includes Robert (Interior) Bates, William (Veterans' Bureau) Johnson, and Andrew (P.O.) Samuels, went on record as unanimously endorsing the general aims of the New Negro Alliance. Robert (Commerce) Prioleau and Albert (Treasury) Sterling state that their organization, the Owls, are wholeheartedly behind the N.N.A. Most of the D.C. pastors (when they learn that the N.N.A. is not asking their congregations for funds) are also supporting the movement.
Bob Murray, the third, is wholeheartedly in accord with the program of the N.N.A., and will probably stage a recital for them at a moment's notice. Howard (P.P. & P.B.) Springs and Scipio (Smithsonian Institute) Jones are particularly interested in the organizational structure of the N.N.A. The executive committee has approved of an organization similar to the one used by political organizations. There is an administrator, some deputy administrators under whom come district leaders, under whom come block captains, who have assistant block cantains.
You can readily see that in order for this organization to succeed (which it will) it must be adequately supported. Washingtonians have been asking for such an organization for many years. It seems to the writer, who migrated here some three years ago from a town where it is so quiet that you can hear the grass grow, that Washingtonians have been asleep on its opportunities, rights, privileges, and possibilities long enough. The N.N.A., it seems to him, offers a proposition on which all of the social classes and cliques (which number is legion) may well unite, since its intelligently planned program's ultimate success will be mutually beneficial to all.
If you are in sympathy with this movement, organize your block,
that is, get the names and addresses of the residents of your block,
explain to them the meaning of the N.N.A. and its program, then send
your name, address, and telephone number to The New Negro Alliance,

PRINCE GEORGE VOTERS STIRRED TO ACTION
At another of its meetings to be held throughout 23 counties of the State of Maryland, the Independent Voters Political Welfare League, Saturday, at Maribor, stirred the Voters of Prince George county to action for their educational and political future.
Headed by John L. Jenifer, its blind president, the executive council gave careful consideration to the accomplishments of the past months, and made plans for legal and legislative action, special committees being appointed with J. C. Waters, Jr., and Chas. M. Thomas, as chairman, respectively.
At the evening session at Union Methodist Episcopal Church, Marylanders in general were scored by Chas. M. Thomas, declaring that a new declaration of independence was demanded because of the condition of our group here.
Pointing out despotic and tyrannical action which should be listed in protest at the polls and in the courts, Thomas explained how length and breadth of life, liberty so complete that every citizen should be free to work and live, and happiness through equal, fair and just distribution of property, were guaranteed by the Constitution, but could be secured only by organized vigilance and educational political action.
Asserting that Marylanders had failed to live up to the standards set by Frederick Douglass in statesmanship and by Banneker in thought, Thomas again scored the people for failure to secure adequate education for every child as far as it was capable of benefiting by the process. "There were 80,000 free Negroes in this State before the Civil War," he said. "and such a heritage should place its people far in the vanguard of democratic government."
Former Minister to Liberia Speaks After paying a visit to State Senator Sasser, Dr. Joseph L. Johnson, stormy petrel of Democratic politics in Ohio, and former minister to Liberia, addressed himself to the similarity in conditions here where children were held as laborers, and that in Africa where a man could borrow money on the number of wives he had, because they worked for him. He advocated organization to secure jobs for the group, at adequate wages to maintain decent standards of living among us, and to educate the children. President Jenifer, made a plea for nonpartisan welfare efforts. Other speakers were James C. Waters, F. O. Wiliston, W. W. Simpson and W. Edward.
After other addresses by the ministers and teachers present, and songs by the high school chorus, an invitation to hold a meeting at LaPlata at an early date was extended and accepted in carrying out the program to meet in 23 counties. The women, under the direction of county chairman, Young, served dinner to some fifty of the men present.
Officers elected were John L. Jenifer, 2931 Eleventh Street, president; William Goodwin, vice-president; W. W. Simpson, secretary; Junius Akers, treasurer; Mitchell E. Swann, assistant State organizer; J. M. Thomas, Benedict county adviser; A. H. Underdown and Robert L. Toney, members of executive committee.

TUSKEGEE FIRES
GUT DORMITORY
~ AND A COTAGE
TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala.
Fire of: unknown origin, which
broke out shortly after 6 o'clock,
Saturday night, completely gutted
one of the important ‘Tuskegee In-
stitute girls’ dormitories.
With the exception of one teach-
er and two'students on duty, the
biiilding was unoccupied, when’ the
flames were first seen to break
through the roof, Tt was the hour
of vesper services, and both teach-
er and students were just assemb-
Ying in the institute chapel.
None Injured
No one was injured. The stu-
dent. fire brigade rushed to the
scene and very efficiently emptied
the dormitory of trunks and per-
sonal effects, Soon afterward the
fire squad from the town of Tus-
Kegee made its arrival, and through
the flames had gained considerable
headway, the fighters managed to
get the blaze, which was confined
to the attic and upper stories, un-
der control, to such an extent that
none of the adjacent buildings were
damaged.
‘The lost dormitory was Douglass
hall, named in honor of Frederick
Douglass. It was erected in 1903
and was the’most pretentious build-
ing on the campus at the time of
its erection. It contained an audi-
torium which seated. 700 persons,
and was the meeting: place of the
campus branch of the Y.W.C.A. In
addition to high school girls housed
there, it was also theshome of sev-
eral teachers.
Fire aparatus was also sent from
Opelika, Auburn, Montgomery: and
the government’ hospital. Doug-
Tass hall was in the heart of the
girls’ side of the campus.
s $60,000 Loss
Dr. Moton states: that the loss
is about $60,000, and is completely
eovered by insurance. The build-
ing will be rebuilt at once and will
be made fire proof. The loss of
Douglass hall was the second sus-
tained by Tuskegee, Saturday. At
“} o'clock Saturday morning one of
the teachers’ cottages was com-
pletely destroyed, furniture and all
household goods’ were lost. The
Tiguse was occupied by William Wi-
ley, for twenty years a member of
the institute! quartet. However,
with a full day of excitement, the
camptis was perfectly quiet when
taps were sounded at the usual
fine.

The weekly assembly at M. T. C.
on Wednesday consisted first of a
piano solo—‘Romance in F Sharp
Minor”—by Oliver Simms, of the
sophomore class. _ Then Miss
Woodard, assistant to the princi-
pal, introduced) Mr; Clark, who
gave his annual weleome speech.
«Foot Ball
It is said that 62 of the boys of
the Miner Teachers’ College went
out for the football team, Now
if that isn’t school spirit on the
part of the boys.. But what the
boys are worrying about is the
spirit of the girls. I had one cer-
tain sophomore who was on the
| team last year say-to me that if
the girls had shown more spirit
the hoys would have dons infinite-
ly better.
That is true, Girls, it’s up to
you. You are expected to attend
the games. And from what we
gathered around M, T. C. the
school spirit must-have been there
this week, for dear old M. T. C.
won 26-6 from Maryland State
Normal. . Good luck, M. T. C.!
That's a good start anyway.
The, next game is. going to be
Saturday in Walker Stadium be-
tween M, ‘T. C. and Dover,
There is to be a dance at M. T.
C. AILT know jis it's 10 cents ad-
mission and is Friday at 3 o'clock.
More news about it later.
Howard, of course, has its usual
well organized foot hall team.
Lots of peanies have gone out for
it, Humbert Howard is the talk
of the boot ball campus.
Student Chatter:
All the girls of M. T. C, are
talking about the meeting held by
Miss Woodard about meeting How-
ard fellows on the corner of Sixth
and Howard Streets and. riding
with them. . Some agreed ‘it’s bad,
others think it’s their own busi-
ness. Well, I guess it's decided
in the Dean's favor (af course).
The boys and girls who are
rather well’ known that have gone
away to school are: Kelsey Pharr,
Northwestern; Ruth Smith, Mount
Holyoke; Lyson Baker, ‘Eugene
Minno, ‘Al Becher, Martin Pree,
Lincoln.
The Miner Fund Board has ap-
propriated $25,000 for the purpose
of increasing the library at M. T.
C. This work will be completed
by October, they hope, with
$25,000 worth of new books being
bought. Here's lots of study for
you.
Howard is still “dogging” the
poor peanies. Marshall Murray,
Charles Hunter and Scottie Socks
sporting an H for dear old How-
yard. Meeja, “Bobby”. Scurlock,
Bennie Brown, etc., were. equally
as messed up by the clippers.
There are more bald boys on the
campus. One boy ‘had. nerve
enough to ask. on. which side
should he part his hair, Well, I
must say they are good sports.
| They take it laughing. What else
is there-to do? Their time will
come.

REPRIEVE GIVEN
YOUNG SLAYER
FACING CHA
Leonard Layton, 21, one of the
three youths sentenced to death in
the electrie chair for the. murder
of a Washington taxicab driver,
had his sentence commuted \to life
imprisonment, Monday,. by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The other, two youths, Edwant
Robinson and William Washington,
who were with Layton at the time
of the slaying, must die on. Octo-
ber 19, according to the sentence
handed down in the District Su-
preme Court,
Layton’s reprieve was brought
about when evidence tended to
show that he did not know that the
youths intended to hold up the taxi-
cab driver with whom they were
riding, and was walking away from
the scene at the time of the firing
of the fatal shot. Robinson con-
fessed to the actual shooting.
The trio was convicted of mur-
dering Mannie Solomon, 26, who
was shot through the jugular vein
at Union and O Streets, Southwest,
The jury decided all ‘three were
equally ‘guilty and recommended
death in the chair.
While the above story is a state-
ment of facts as the Tribune knows
them, the following version was
given by a local daily in its issue
of October 9:
“Because. his two great-aunts
served as laundress and cook in the
White House during the adminis-
trations of Lincoln and Grant, Leo-
nard Layton, 21, colored, will not
go-to. the <lectric chair for the
murder of a Washington taxi
driver.
“The youth's sentence was com-
muted to life imprisonment. yester-
day by President Roosevelt, after
the ease was brought to his atten-
tion by Attorney Vernon B. Lowry.
“Although one is named Wash-
ington, the two other colored youths
convicted of the same murder had
no great-aunts serving in the White
House. They. must die October 19,
according to the sentence handed
down in District Supreme Court.”
