Eyewitnesses Tell of Brutal Attack on Helpless Woman
The brutal beating of a young woman by a white policeman of No. 4 Precinct, Saturday afternoon brought forth a storm of protest from members of the Southwest Civic Association Monday evening, during the regular monthly meeting of the group at the Mother-Child Center, Second and E Streets. Southwest.

Eyewitnesses told the association how Miss Madeline Tabbs, 918 Desmond Court, Southwest, a woman suffering from a mental disease and blind in one eye, was brutally attacked by Officer G. F. Struder, beaten about the head and body with his club and kicked, dragged to a patrol, taken to a hospital and later charged with "assaulting an officer and disorderly conduct."
Helpless Woman Kicked
Mrs. Grace Humes, 918 E Street, Southwest, stated that she witnessed the attack and related in detail how the policeman who appeared to be insane vented his wrath on the helpless woman as she lay unconscious on the ground. While on the ground she said that the officer kicked her several times despite her pleas.
Mrs. Eva Moxley, 428 Ninth Street, stated that she also saw the uncalled for attack and when she approached the officer he arrested her and took her to the station and placed a charge of interfering with an officer in making an arrest against her. This charge was dismissed in the police court Monday morning, and the $10 collateral she had posted was returned to her.

Both women stated that the policeman appeared maddened and irrational. He would not listen to reason and continued to beat the helpless woman in spite of pleas of mercy. Miss Tabbs was taken to Providence Hospital and later to Gallinger, where her condition is said to be serious. She was too ill

Protesting his innocence to the
last, Charles Edward Washington,
25, electrocuted, Friday, left behind three farewell messages just before he marched bravely to the chair.
One was addressed to his companions in the death row, another to his mother, and the third to Joseph A. Berberich, of the St. Vincent De Paul Society, who waged a strong but losing battle for his life. The messages were handed by the doomed youth to a guard as he walked to the electric chair. All were written by himself.
"To my boys I am leaving-behind in the death chamber," Washington wrote.

Police Seek Culprits Who Flee From Scene in Own Auto
BULLETIN
Two men, Melvin Strothers, of 2310 Sixth Street, Northwest, and Richard Clay Bunday, of 2238 Eighth Street, Northwest, were arrested on Thanksgiving Day by Detectives Sweeney and Mahoney in connection with the slaying of Hatch.
George Hatch, 34, of 1623 First Street, Northwest, was fatally shot by one of three youthful bandits who held up him and John Waters, of 3019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, near Eighth and T Etreets, early Thursday morning.
The two were accosted as they were about to enter Waters's auto parked on Eighth Street, just south of T Street, about 1:45 a.m. One of the footpads wearing a green overcoat faced the pair with a pistol, the other two standing in the rear.
Waters was forced to hand over $32.50. Just as Hatch was about to be frisked, one of the culprits in the rear fired a bullet, without warning of apparent motive. The pellet struck Mr. Hatch in the back just above the right hip. The robbers fled to a 1929 Cheyrolet coupe, parked near the scene, and escaped by driving out Eighth Street.
Waters and John H. Gilbert, of 301 R Street, Northwest, rushed Hatch to Emergency Hospital in Water's machine. The wounded man was pronounced dead at 3 a.m.
Waters told officers of the Second Precinct that the trio of robbers appeared to be between the ages of 27 and 30 years. He also stated that he thought he would be able to identify the men who committed the crime. Detectives Sweeney and Mahaney were assigned to the case and are tracing down all clues.

Forty-four white people have been lynched by mobs in the United States from 1919 to date, according to records kept by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Four whites have been lynched this year out of a total so far of twenty-five. Two white men, Harvey Winchester and Jerome Boyett, were lynched June 9; 1933, at Huntsville, Tenn. Both were charged with double murder.

ROSIZER LYLES KILLS SELF
ALEXANDER, Va.—Rosier D. Lyles, seventy years old, a retired public school teacher, shot and killed himself. This morning (Thursday) at the residence of his niece, Mary E. Dorsey, 319 North Alfred Street.
For forty-six years he served as teacher in the old Snowden and Parker Gray schools and was one of the most prominent men in the city.
The body was found in bey by his niece, Miss Dorsey, who summoned medical aid and life was pronounced extinct. He apparently had been dead two hours. The bullet entered his right temple.
Dependency over the death of a nephew in Washington recently was ascribed as motive for his act. He left a note telling of the whereabouts of insurance policies.
For a number of years Mr. Lyles was employed at the Belle Haven Golf and Country Club. Detective Sergeant George Everly investigated the case. Coroner Walter E. Beattie deemed an inquest unnecessary.
Mr. Lyles is the father of Mrs. Etta Lyles Booker, of Washington, whose son is making a name for himself as an organist.
TRENTON, N.J. (Special to The Tribune)—William Allen, of Trenton, N.J., the man who found the baby of Col. Charles Lindbergh, has been appointed by Governor A. Harry Moore, of New Jersey, as a ward man in the State Home for Girls at Trenton.
Although Lindbergh was anxious to find his baby after it had been kidnapped and a world-wide search was being instituted for it, the colonel hardly thanked Allen for findind the body of the child.
Not Even Thanked
Many thought Allen would be hand lonely rewarded by the rich Lindbergh as the man that started the world with the discovery of the dead baby was the poor father of a large family.
He tried to make some money by appearing on the stage, but he was not permitted to cash in on his popularity as the man to find the famous child of the Lindberghs.
Allen discovered the remains of the baby in a cluster of bushes in a strip of woodland not far from

ATLANTIC CITY AUDITORIUM (Thursday)—Six thousand of the faithful looked on at the annual Turkey Day fracas between Howard and Lincoln University football teams in this far-away, well-migh desected berg tonight. A beautiful setting, free from the usual cold and gloom of a typical Thanksgiving failed to attract more than this number despite hopes on the part of Lincoln promoters that the unique stage selected by them would draw a record crowd. Howard won the fuss, 13 to 7.
It was largely through the efforts of Howard's dependable Showbowl Ware that the capital city aggregation counted its first touchdown early in the game. But the fact that Laynard Holloman, plugging halfback, was the outstanding star of the game by virtue of his 38-yard run to touchdown in the opening minutes of the final period is not to be denied. The Greensboro, N.C., youngster snatched a pass from the fingers of Stumpy Penn, deadly Lion passer, and toted it over his goal line for what finally proved to be the winning marker. Lincoln scored 7 points, which would have eclipsed Howard 6 points shortly thereafter.

the home of Col. Lindbergh. Lindbergh, himself, is said to have objected to Allen appearing on the stage. No reward was ever given him for his discovery.
Appeal to Governor
Allen's economic condition was discovered by Peyton Manning, vice-president of the Mercer County Negro Democratic Association of Trenton, who took a committee consisting of Dr. Leroy Morris, president of the association; Arthur Wilson, and Joseph Thomas, secretary, to see the governor, with the result that Allen is now able to care for his family, and what is more, to have the satisfaction of knowing that somebody thinks his discover the lost infant is deserving of a measure of recognition.

LAW MAKERS AROUSED TO HALT FIENDS
Senators of Both Parties Announce They Will Advocate Legislation
Congress will consider enactment of a federal anti-lynching law when it convenes in January as a result of recent mob action in California and Maryland.
Senators of both parties said today that they will advocate effective legislation on this subject. Though plans for formulating a measure have not been completed, revival of the Dyer bill imposing penalties on counties whose law officers fail to protect prisoners from mobs has been suggested. The American Civil Liberties Union is drafting proposed legislation.
"I shall vote and work for an effective anti-lynching act," said Sen. Bert Wheeler (D., Mont.).
"Such a measure must be Federal, since local communities' law machinery often becomes paralyzed by intimidation from mobs."
Must Curb Mobs
"The growing menace of mobs and lynchings must be curbed," said Sen. Shipstead (F.-L., Minn.) "I favor the early passage of a Federal anti-lynching law." "Law and order must replace mob violence," said Sen. Kean (R., N.J.) "The lynching of the Hart kidnapers and the 100 per cent increase in lynchings this year are unworthy of our civilized state. I favor, passage of a Federal anti-lynching law immediately after Congress meets. This is the only way to end disgraceful mob rule."
26 Lynchings
The two California lynchings bring the total for this year to 26. This compares with only 10 lynchings for the whole of 1932. It is the worst record since 1926, when 38 persons were lynched.
Backers of such a move point to the unusual success attending Federal aid in capture of kidnapers. The two men lynched in San Jose were captured with the help of Federal operatives working from Washington under the so-called "Lindbergh Law." According to the Justice Department Division of Investigation there have been 15 major kidnapings since the Lindbergh Law was passed on June 22. In every case arrests have been made, although in several cases minor suspects escaped.
As a result of these 15 crimes one kidnaper has been executed, 10 are serving life, and altogether 382 years of sentences have been imposed. Under the Federal extortion law 20 persons have been captured and are serving 111 years in all.
Cardozo Students Manage Reid's Department Store
The salesmanship classes of Cardozo High School took complete charge of Reid's Department Store, which they turned into a practical laboratory for retail problems, last Friday.
Starting at 8 a.m., the first project was one of taking inventories of every item in the store on inventory blanks furnished by Mr. Reid. Opportunities in arrangement of window display were taken advantage of in the twelve windows of the store facing on Eleventh and U Streets. The technique of selling was studied from the practical angle.

RICHMOND, Va.—From Chesterfield County, famed home of "cawn likker" stills, comes the report of the latest addition to the NRA. Although General Johnson failed to mention them in his numerous codes, the still-tenders of the county have come out 100 per cent for the NRA shorter hours and higher wages.
News of the moonshiners raising aloft the Blue Eagle was brought here yesterday by a city official who returned from a trip through the county.
While purchasing a jar of "ole Virginia cawn" the official was informed that the new price was $1.50 and that the rise was due to the NRA. He thought the 'shiner was kidding and told him so. The dealer explained it this way:
"These Negroes heard about these codes. Instead of working them from 7 at night until 7 in the morning for 15 cents per hour, I now have to pay them 30 cents an hour and put extra men on the job."
MISTRIAL DENIED AS SCOTTSBORO CASE BEGINS Courtroom Crowded With Newspapers Inciting Lynching; Defense Loses Tiff
DECATUR, Ala.—Surrounded by citizens who flaunted southern journals with screaming headlines of the California and Missouri lynchings, and the Maryland rebellion, Heywood Patterson, one of the seven colored defendants in the Scottsboro assault case, went on trial for his life, early this week. Court opened with Judge W. W. Callahan presiding over a scene which plainly boded evil for both the defendant and his attorney, Samuel S. Leibowitz. The first legal skirmish of the week was won by the prosecution when defense counsel's request for a mistrial declaration was denied by the court. Leibowitz made the request when Judge Callahan upheld the state objections to his type of questioning Lester Carter, a principal defense witness.
Leibowitz had asked Carter if he and Jack Tiller had been in company with Ruby Bates and Victoria Price, alleged victims in the gondola car assaults, the night before the girls began their hobo trip at Huntsville, Ala.
"That said Judge Callahan, referring to Leibowitz's question "was a vicious attempt to get illegal evidence before the jury." He then sustained Knight's objection.
Leibowitz was again the loser in a verbal tiff when Mrs. Victoria Price, the principal witness against the boys, was on the stand and undergoing cross-examination.
Mrs. Price described numerous injuries she said were received during the alleged attacks.
"I object to the court interrupting." Leibowitz said, as Judge Callahan said, "She has answered."
The objection was overruled and
The objection was overruled and an exception taken. Mrs. Price had answered in the middle of a question. The court frequently had to interpret words Leibowitz pronounced to Mrs. Price. After 42 minutes on the stand she was excused and W. W. Hill, station agent at Paint Rock, Ala, where the colored boys and the girls were taken from the train, was called.

SPENDS HOLIDAYS IN JAIL BECAUSE OF BACK ALIMONY
David Haywood, of 335 U Street, the an employee of the State Department, who failed to pay his wife, Mrs. Margaret Haywood, of 1761 Willard Street, Northwest, the sum of $33.75, his allimony arrears, caused the husband to be adjudged in contempt of court. Friday, and have to spend the week-end in jail. Haywood was released early this week through the intercession of Benjamin L. Gaskins, who is representing the wife in her petition for a limited divorce from the State Department employee. Mrs. Haywood instituted the original action on July 12, claiming that her husband had deserted her on June 23. On August 11, Justice Cox ordered Haywood to pay $27 a month in two bi-monthly installments to Mrs. Haywood's attorney.
Amount Owed Was $33.75
About two weeks later, Justice O'Donoghue honored a petition to have Haywood show cause why he was not in contempt of court for failure to keep up his alimony. Haywood wriggled out by paying his current indebtedness, but found himself confronted with another rule to show cause signed by Justice Letts, November 13.
When he failed to make payment of $33.75, Justice Letts ordered him to jail. Friday, for 30 days or until such time as he had purged himself of the said contempt.
The Haywoods were married in Rockville, Md., February 4, 1931. The couple have a young daughter.
SCOTTSBORO BOYS ENDANGERED BY ROLPH STATEMENT
I.L.D. Seeks Impeachment of California Governor and Arrests
NEW YORK—Repeated demand for a statement from President Roosevelt of the national administration policy on lynchings was coupled with a demand for impeachment of Governor Rolph of California and use of federal forces for the arrest of the lynchers of Holmes and Thurmond, in a wire sent to the President, this week, by William L. Patterson, national secretary of the International Labor Defense.
Reports from Decatur, Ala., where the Scottsboro boys are now on trial, and where the LLD. charges preparations are being made with the connivance of state officials to lynch them, their attorneys and witnesses, are that the crowds attending the trial are inflamed by huge headlines in the Birmingham papers announcing Rolph's justification of lynching, and that the papers are seen in the courtroom.
Helen Bramlette McDonald, Sister-in-Law of Howard Official, Sues for Divorce
CHICAGO.—Helen Bramlette McDonald, one of the "beautiful Bramlette twins." filed suit the past week for divorce against her husband of eight years, Malcolm McDonald, politician and clubman. Mrs. Bramlette makes the customary charge of repeated and extreme cruelty and specifies in particular that on one occasion Mr. McDonald struck here in the face with his fist and on another, in December of last year, that he slapped her before mutual friends for whom she was giving a party. Mr. Bramlette has indicated that he will fight his wife's suit which demands alimony and payment of solicitor's fees.

WHITE OFFICER CLUBS HELPLESS YOUNG WOMAN
Citizens Protest Attack by Policeman on Unconscious Girl

to appear in court to answer the charges that Struder had placed against her.
Mrs. Moxley stated that after reaching the preclinet station the officer wanted to make her post $100 collateral, but the desk sergeant upraided him and stated that $10 was the usual amount for such offenses.
Blood Flows Freely
"The woman was bleeding about the head and body. Blood was pouring from a cut on her head. I saw him knock her down and kick her and strike her over the head with his club as she was in an apparent unconscious condition on the ground," said Mrs. Humes.
The association appointed a committee headed by John F. N. Wilkinson, public school official, to present a protest to Captain Jeremiah Sullivan, commander of the precinct, and if action is not taken against the officer to carry the protest to Superintendent Brown "and to Congress if necessary."
It was pointed out at the meeting that. Inspector Headley had been advised of the attack, but members stated that he has always shown prejudice in such cases and it was useless to consult him further.
Woman Was Ill
The alleged attack is said to have taken place at Ninth and E Streets about 2 p.m. Mrs. Humes said the officer without provocation walked up to Miss Tabbs and struck her. Her mental condition evidently gave the impression that she was under the influence of liquor. The committee appointed by the association has been ordered to make a thorough investigation and make every effort to have the policeman punished. Many citizens in the vicinity of the attack telephoned police headquarters during the attack and Headley and several headquarters officers were sent to the scene. John T. Rhines, president of the association, presided at the meeting.

Memphis Discriminates Against White Crap Shooters
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—(ANP)—Local white crap shooters are viewing with sardonie disdain an order issued last week by Police Commissioner Davis whereby colored men caught shooting craps may obtain in their release from prison by the payment of $2 to the desk sergeants at the police stations. After they have done that, it is unnecessary for them to appear in court. White crapshooters, however, are still required to put up the usual forfeit of $10 and operators of gambling houses, a forfeit of $25. Fifty-six colored men arrested over the week-end obtained their freedom by paying two dollars. The new order enables the police department to save money on the feeding and care of such prisoners.

"So, mother dear, smile for me and I will do the same for youal. If God is for me know one can be againse me. Of course we all came in this world to see labour and sorrow to be consumed in shame.

LAWYER QUESTIONS NEGRO NAMES
Leibowitz Believes Listing of Negroes for Jury Duty Improperly Done
DECATUR. Ala.—Samuel S. Leibowitz, chief defense lawyer for the seven boys alleged to have attacked Victoria Price in the celebrated Scottaboro case, announced his intentions, early this week, of investigating fully, the authenticity of the listing of seven Negroes for jury duty in the trial. The naming of Negroes on the jury had presented a tedious legal battle prior to the opening of the trial, Monday.
Leibowitz, dissatisfied with the list, asserted that an effort would be made to determine whether or not the names were original or forged. He said he had arranged for handwriting experts to come here by airplane today from New York to give expert testimony. Court officials from Jackson County identified as Negroes seven names on the list of qualified jurors from which the grand jury that indicted the defendants was drawn, while giving evidence on a defense motion to quash the indictment. Defense attorneys had based their plea on the contention that Negroes were barred from the grand jury because of their race, violating the 14th Amendment.

Although it seemed like an age,
the four attendants feverishly
tightened the straps about the arms,
legs, and chest of the youth. An-
other fitted the headpiece. Wash-
ington’s voice was mulled as the
Teather mask was placed over his
face, but the Rev. Pinn continued
the ‘singing, keeping time by mo-
tion of his arma.
Body Surges Forward
The guards stepped back. One
raised his arm in signal to the un-
seen‘ electrician, The hum of the
dynamos generating the death fluid
mingled.with the singing of the
minister; one a song of death, the
other a song of life. Washington's
body surzed forward as if seeking
to break’ the bonds and escape the
fiery current,
The motors continued to hum. A
wisp of blue smoke arose ceiling-
ward fvom the flesh on the right
log, where the electrode touched it.
‘The motors continued to hum. An-
other wisp of smoke shot upward
from Warhington’s head where the
metal touched the scalp. The fin-
gers. of the right hand curled
around.the arm of the chair.
An odor of burning flesh reached
the nostrils. ‘The Rey. Mr, Pinn

‘The two physicians applied their

for the second time.
“L officially pronounce Washing-

Donald spoke up.
Carry Bad News
After casting a backward glance
at the inert form, the group of
witnesses filed up the steps, across
the rotunda, and out into the air.
The Rev. Mr. Pinn, Mother Wash-
ington, social worker at the jail,
and the writer traveled over to the
little frame house at 410 Six-and-a-
Half Street, Southwest, where Mrs,
Mattie Washington, mother of the
dead man, lives,
A small. group of sad-faced
friends tried to console Mrs? Wash-
ington and her two daaghters. The
elderly woman hoped that the’ visi-
tors were bringing tidings of a pro-
verbial act which had saved her
son's life as on previous occasions.
Mother Collapses
Questioned, the Rey, Mr. Pinn
said nothing, but handed the elder-
ly woman the Bible sent to her by
Washington, Mrs. Washington col-
lapsed in a heap, unconscious, It
was feared at frst that the shock
had killed: her. A doctor was sum-
moned and she was revived after
about one-half hour.
One sister became hysterical.
Mother Washington and friends of
the family tried to gonsole her.
The other wrung her hands and
sobbed, “How could they kill him?”
Up to near the last moment,
Washington was hopeful of a com:
mutation. An indication of his
hopes are revealed by the follow-
ing incident. The Rev. Mr. Pinn
Was reading the 2ith Psalm to him,
The minister approached the sec
ond verse containing the following.
words, “When the wicked, even|
mine enemies and my foes, come,
upon me to eat up my flesh, they
stumbled and fell.”
“See there,” exclaimed Washing-
ton as he referred to the two in-
stances when the President saved
him, “My enemies stumbled and
fell, didn’t they?”
Washington arose early Friday
morning. He, with seven other
men awaiting electrocution were
administered communion by the
Rev, Mr. Pinn from 9:15 to 9:45.
He had previously eaten heartedly
of a breakfast which included eggs,
hot muffins, country fried potatoes,
and coffce,
Hopes still swelled in his breast

warrant, but his enemies tri-

dent of the District penal institu-
tions, fought heroically with Joseph.
A, Berberich, of the St. Vincent de
Paul Society, to the last minute to
save Washington from the chair.
On the day prior to the electro-
cution, Capt, Barnard wrote» Mr.
Berbevich, “I fee! that an- injustice,
will be done if this boy. is exe-
cuted.” “The latter, who was- in-
strumental in securing Washing-
ton’s first presidential reprieve,
sent a telegram to President Roo-
sevelt in a last minute intercession
just before Washington died.
He waited in despair outside the
jail in an automobile as -Washing-
ton died.
Throwing all his influence into
the case Capt, Barnard alluded to
an affidavit which Leonard Layton,
now serving life at Lorton, on’a
commutation of sentence.
Mentions Affidavit
“At thé time of the fatal shot,”
the penal head wrote, “was. fied
by Robinson,” Layton. swore.
“Washington was about three. feet
away from me and behind me,
leaving the taxicab, with his back
toward the cab.”
The letter continued:
“I have ‘gone into the cases of
these three men. pretty: thoroughly
and tailed to all three... The one
that was executed admitted that he
was the one’ who used the gun.
Layton is here at this institution,
his sentence having been ¢ommut-
ed to life by the President,
Asks Equal Consideration
“I am unable to see the differ-
jence between this mah and Wash-
ington, the one.who is to go to-
morrow, Since Layton’s sentence
has been commuted, it would seem
that Washington ‘should be ‘given
the sam» consideration, I believe
that if Washington could be per-
mitted to come here as a life pri-
soner no one would ever have cause
to regret,
“Both Layton and Washington
are equally guilty of being acees-
sories to the crime, but both should
‘be given the same consideration,
and since Layton’s sentence has
been commuted it would seem that
Washington should be given con-
sideration.
“While it has been my duty,”
continued Capt. Barnard, “to wit-
ness about 40 executions in. my
long career of prison work, I have
only in two or three eases. inter-
ceded in behalf of a man who was
condemned, and I feel in this case
that I would be justified in exer-
cising my full influence in fairness
to the man.”

It is inconceivable that troops sent by the Governor of Maryland should be chased like rats from Salisbury, Md where they had been sent to arrest all leged lynchers under orders from the Governor.
If Governor Ritchie really means business ( and we have every reason to believe that he does) he could draft one hundred Negroes of the type who offered their lives in France for a cause unknown to them, or not understood by them, who with the authority of the Governor, would in two hours take care of any mob that the Eastern Shore of Maryland could assemble.
These men would shoot, as they died in France; these men would be willing to lay down their lives as they did in France; these men would die as they died in France—for justice.
One hundred, serious minded, self-sacrificing men, with a desire to serve their country, or their state, could and would either bring back the nine culprits (reputed leaders of the most known to Governor Ritchie) or there would be another unknown tomb at Salisbury, Md., marking the spot where they fell in defense of American justice and in the line of a duty imposed upon them by the chief executive of their state.
And if the State of Maryland cannot draft these men in Maryland, men from all over this country will volunteer to serve in such a worthy and patriotic cause.

Rolph or Ritchie?
At last a lynching which has focused attention nationally to this form of lawlessness being practiced more and more in this country has taken place. Perhaps now a wave of public opinion will cry crystalize itself as to make possible the national anti-lynch law so long hoped for by us—and by other law-abiding seeking citizens.
The attitude of Governor James Rolph, Jr., of California in not only commending the lynchers but assuring them immunity if any officer in California should have the manhood to arrest the persons guilty of this horrible crime is inexcusable.
Lynching is a far greater crime than kidnapping. To say the least, under no conditions, no matter what the crime should the right of fair trial be denied, those charged with its commission.
How in the name of God's heaven can law and order be respected by the people if and when the chief executive of a state puts his official approval on the crime of lynching?
At the same time Governor Rolph was praising "his lynching citizens," Governor Ritchie of Maryland was sending troops to Princess Anne, Md. to make arrests of alleged lynchers on a Negro, whom the local enforcement officers refused to arrest. Rolph is to be condemned and Governor Ritchie commended. Rolph should be impeached. Ritchie should be supported by all the fair thinking people of this country.
We can add nothing to the statement of Dr. Will W. Alexander, president of the Southern Commission on Inter-Racial Relations, when he said:
"As between lynching and kidnapping, lynching is the more serious crime of the two. It involves not a few individual criminals here and there, but enlists whole communities in orgies of violence and murder, in which law and civilization are lynched no less truly than the human victims. In recent months the authorities have demonstrated their ability to cope with the kidnapers, as they were doing in this case. On the contrary, the almost universal failure to convict lynchers indicates that lynching is a much more difficult crime to eradicate."

FOUR
sional public official, like Governor Rolph of California, who brazenly condones, justifies, and praises lynching, forgetting entirely his solemn oath to uphold the law and to protect every citizen in his constitutional rights.
One who understands America explains easily the faulty logic, the emotional rhetoric, and the unsocial thinking of a man like Arthur Brisbane on such a social disease as lynching. When, however, an American newspaper syndicate, reaching millions of readers daily, and bent upon shaping the opinions and policies of the world's greatest nation, flagrantly and deliberately defends and preaches lynching, one stands aghast.
Lynching is a cancer in the body politic and is without justification under any circumstances. Mob law, like cancer, is anarchy; it does not discriminate in its destruction. The victims, innocent of crime or guilty of atrocity, are tortured and mutilated, but the history of lynching indicates clearly that no social purpose is ever served by lynching. The roots of crime, the seeds of perverted and subnormal intelligence remain in the body politic to grow violently in the ashes of mob violence.
Lynching and the crimes which it pretends to punish are the products of American civilization. Our philosophy of Rugged Individualism with its religion of Wealth, continues to overlook the social need of developing fully the productive capacities of all individuals on the one hand, and the detection and early control of anti-social individuals on the other. From the latter group, rich or poor, come the criminals.
Those who have faith still in the intelligence of the American people, should make that faith felt by refusing to spend even a few pennies to support any newspaper that flagrantly and deliberately preaches lynching.

I have just read your issue of Thursday, November 23, and finding on page nine, an article stating that one Mr. Emory B. Smith, former director of publicity of Howard University had been endorsed by the Washington Bar Association (colored) for the position of judge of the Pelice Court, D.C. It also stated that Mr. Smith was a candidate for the post now held by Judge James A. Cobb in Municipal Court, a Republican appointee, whom the bar association also favored for reappointments. Adjoining your article, a picture of Mr. Smith appeared.
The article stated among other things, that Mr. Smith was a member of the local bar, however, the article failed to state that Mr. Smith was not an active practitioner of the local bar and to my mind, being a member of the local bar and an active practitioner, are two entirely different things, and members of the local bar, many of whom perhaps are active practitioners should surely realize that the position for which this gentleman was endorsed by them, requires a man, whether white or colored, to be one of active practice daily before our courts; a man of experience, and one familiar with court routine. The Washington Bar Association, composed of allegedly intelligent men of the Negro race, certainly should be able to find among themselves, or in the field; men who beside knowing the law, practice it daily.

The position of judge of either the police court or the municipal court in the District does not carry with it the services of a teacher, to acquaint an appointee with his duties, but the position requires men of experience; men who are familiar with the law and practice it daily, and who can step in immediately out of private life into public life and "carry on" without hesitation, and I think the Washington Bar Association, after a little more thought, laying aside of personal grievances, and social aspirations, will admit that they pulled a "boner" in this case. That inner circle of the Negro race has pulled many such, and I believe the time is now ripe for them to do something right to overshadow their past actions. The Negro race needs more boosts; not setbacks.

Gov. Rolph of California has a heavy responsibility in the lynching of Thomas Thurmond and Jack Homes, confessed kidnappers and murderers of Brooke Hart, son of a San Jose department store proprietor.
In the interval between the findings of the body of young Hart in San Francisco Bay and the minute in which the mob found the courage to batter down the jail door to take the prisoners, the Governor of California commented: "I imagine the finding of the body will create a renewed flare of indignation."
The Associated Press quotes him as having said also: "What! Call out troops to protect those two guys?"
After the mob had run wild, wrecked the jail, hanged and burned the bodies of the two men, the governor said, according to the same authority "This is the best lesson California has even given the country. We show the country that the state is not going to tolerate kidnapping."
California's lesson is the tom-toms of emotional frenzy are still able to awaken primitive passions and invoke orgies in which all standards reared by the human race in centuries of striving, go down.
Gov. Rolph and California had an opportunity to give America a lesson that would have been worth while—a demonstration of the dignity and majesty and effectiveness of law in the face of a mob.

of Washington D.C., Edition of the "Journal of Negro History," and author of "The Negro in Our History," "The Mis-Education of the Negro," and "The Negro Professional Man."
To render a public service and at the same time expose the dereliction of teachers in Negro schools where the history and present status of the race are ignored the committee of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History recently appointed to outline such courses will extend this work. These educators will plan an integration of the treatment of the race with the other work of the curriculum. This is intended for those systems where distinct courses on the Negro are not authorized and for all those offering certain subjects in which a separate treatment may not be necessary.
chinery, and Jan Matzeliger's living machine by which he revitalized the manufacture of sho throughout the modern world.
Africa Influenced Greeian Art
The teacher of fine art may just as effective in correlating with such work facts concerning Negro in the aesthetic sphere Starting with the European background, as is usually done, the structor can readily show the fluence of Africa on the art Greece by which the modern we is still influenced. The fine Afri workmanship in the preparation
The committee is convinced that thorough instruction in this case is practically impossible, because of the difficulties experienced by most teachers in departing from text books, but every well informed instructor, whether engaged in teaching Negroes history or other subjects, should point out the possibilities of students in their special fields by reviewing the achievements of persons of African blood.
Africans First to Use Stringed Instruments
The teacher of music, the one in position to do some of the most inspirational work in the school, has the unusual opportunity to keep before the pupils the facts that Africans were the first to use stringed instruments and that the outstanding achievement in this field in America is accredited to the Niger.
While other Americans, as a rule, have restricted themselves largely to the imitation of European music, the Negro with his folk music, especially with the spiritual has produced a work of art which now excites the admiration of the modern world. To cite numerous examples of those who have distinguished themselves in adaptation and rendition of this music is an easy matter.
The teacher of dramatics, occupying from year to year a more conspicuous position in the training of the youth, also has such opportunity for correlating with this course what the Negro has achieved on the stage. The instructor should emphasize the fact that even during the days of slavery the Negro without training and without opportunity stealthily developed dramatic ability in minstrelsy. This was so appealing that the owners of plantations were favorably impressed thereby, and the theatrical managers sometimes called upon these Negro players to perform.
Ira Aldridge, longing for greater opportunity at that time, left this country for Europe and made there his way to renown as a Shakespearean actor. It should be noted also that, given more opportunity after emancipation, a larger number of Negroes have developed into a higher stature in the histrionic sphere—men of sufficient ability to override race prejudice and sometime to win recognition not only in this country but abroad.
Even in teaching the sciences and mathematics it will be an easy task to mention the highly developed calculating mind of the African to whom belongs credit for important beginnings in these spheres. Mathematics all but had its origin in ancient Africa. Science early developed there along with mathematics. The Bushmen and Hottentots knew enough chemistry to make poisoned arrows, and the natives discovered antidotes for these concoctions. Thousands of years ago people in the heart of Africa had discovered cures for snake-bite and blood poisoning. The greatest contribution of Afrians was to teach the world how to apply science in smelting and refining iron.
The opportunity to present examples of Negroes who in spite of handicaps have shown ability in these fields should not be overlooked. Students should know of Thomas Fuller of Alexandria, Virginia. Although denied the opportunity to learn to read and write, he became an expert in mental arithmetic. The alert teacher will regard as significant the achievements of Benjamin Banneker as is shown by his being especially invited by Thomas Jefferson to assist in laying out Washington in the District of Columbia, by his publication of a series of almanacs, and by his making the first clock in the United States.
In such a survey also mention must be likewise made of the Negroes of inventive genius. Those who experimented with appliances for "ginning" cotton and paved the way for Eli Whitney's invention must be brought out of obscurity. Teachers of foresight will not fail to refer to James Forten, the Philadelphiaian who perfected a device for hoisting sails; to Henry Blair of Maryland who patented two corn harvesters in 1834-1836; and to Norbert Rillieux who still earlier revolutionized the manufacture of sugar with his invention of the vacuum pan.
Special reference must be made also to the inventions nearer us today—such as Grantille T. Wood's electrical appliances, Elijah McCoy's device for lubricating ma-
Roosevelt and the Negro -- To Date -- Have Done Well
Judging Mr. Roosevelt's administration thus far he has done more for the Negro than did Harding, Coolidge and Hoover combined.
By KELLY MILLER
His originality, resourcefulness and courage have been a source of never failing surprise and admiration. He has settled, at least for the time being, the liquor question which had threatened internal disruption for two decades. He has recognized Russia, and thus contributed importantly to the tranquillity of the American people and the peace of the world. He has led Congress and the nation in the enactment of sunry recovery acts calculated to relieve unemployment and bring within hailing distance that prosperity which his deluded predecessor assured us was just around the corner.
Perhaps most daring of all, he has inaugurated a new fiscal policy about which the hopes and fears of the financial world play see-saw. But the patriotic optimism and American-minded statesmanship are assured that the Roosevelt policy will be the winner. He insists in face of European presumption that the ring of the American dollar shall make sweeter music in the ears of the word than that of the franc or pound.
If he succeeds in leading the people through the wilderness of depression and despair, he will go down in history along side the names of Washington and Lincoln.
Weighed down with such a heavy load of general responsibilities, it is scarcely reasonable to expect that he could afford time to devote to class issues and group grievances. The whole is greater than any of its parts, and is equal to the sum of all of its parts. What is good for the body must needs be beneficial to the several members thereof—hence the Negro shares along with the rest in whatever promotes the national welfare.
During his campaign and since, Mr. Roosevelt has stressed the point of his intention that the Negro should be an equal sharer in his greater policies for the welfare of the whole. He has appointed a cabinet whose attitude is broadminded and sympathetic. Secretary Roper, of South Carolina, in a formal address on the race problem has taken as patriotic and generous ground as any cabinet officer has ever been known to do.
If the Negro has any just complaints against the practical workings of the codes under the NRA, such discrepancies are due to the incidents of administration, and can in no wise be traceable to the thought or purpose of the administration.
During the last campaign, I flooded the Negro press with the belief that a change of administration did not necessarily mean any additional burden or hardship to the Negro race. My genial and gallant friend, Perry Howard, with true political instinct, was frantically vindicating his Republican partizanship by predicting all manner of racial calamities should his party lose. Roseco Conklin Simmons, the brilliant oratorical lightweight, was so sure of racial degradation, in case of a reversal of political fortune, that he openly declared that any Negro who voted for Roosevelt ought to be sent to hell. I wonder what Howard and Simmons are now thinking. What possible arguments will they devise for 1936?
I have great faith in the political sagacity of the Mississippi national committeeman, and have no doubt that during the intervening four years, he will devise a new set of plausible platitudes to beguile the simple political obsession die hard.
I will now indulge in terms which the politician can understand—jobs. Nothing is great or small except by comparison. Let us now compare the administration of Hoover and Roosevelt as to the allotment of patronage to the Negro group, after nine months of incumbency.
Mr. Roosevelt, up to now, has left undisturbed every Negro appointee left as legatee from the Hoover administration, with one or two possible exceptions. The Liberian ministry is undergoing an interim along lines suggested by the Hoover administration. When the diplomatic tangle is straightened out, we all expect that a colored diplomat will be accorded this customary place.
The appointment of Robert L. Vann easily offsets any of his Republican predecessors in caliber, character, and leadership. Death caused a vacancy in the Department of Justice, which it is hoped, will shortly be filled. In addition to all of these, the Roosevelt administration has appointed Dr. Johnson, of Columbus, Ohio; Prof. Hunt, of Alabama; and Mr. Weaver to important assignments in the Interior Department. Dr. Eugene Kinkle Jones, the well known expert in industrial problems, has been made special assistant to the Secretary of Commerce, and Mr. Hastie has been assigned as Special Solicitor for the Interior Department.
No such array of Negro talent has "been accorded important governmental berths in many a long and cold political day. Those who profess to be in the confidence of the administration assure us, in the language of the Show Boat Captain, that this is "Only the beginning."
Judging: Mr. Roosevelt's administration by this practical concrete test, we see that he has already done for the Negro more in nine months than was accorded the race by Harding, Coolidge and Hoover combined covering a course of twelve years. We can certainly say of Roosevelt and the Negro: "so far, so good." Let us hope that it will be better further on.
chinery, and Jan Matzeliger's lasting machine by which he revolutionized the manufacture of shoes throughout the modern world. Africa Influenced Gerlard Art
The teacher of fine art may be just as effective in correlating with such work facts concerning the Negro in the aesthetic sphere, Starting with the European background, as is usually done, the instructor can readily show the influence of Africa on the art of Greece by which the modern world is still influenced. The fine African workmanship in the preparation of utensils, weapons, musical instruments, and personal adornment should be noted. More attention should be directed to the figures of Sherbro, the megaliths of Gambia, and the bronze sculpture of Benin. The beauty of the striking rock painting found in the heart of Africa should be carefully studied.
Modern Negroes Have Made Good in Art
Coming nearer home to consider the great American artists, the well-informed teacher should depart from the textbooks produced by illiberal and biased authors and discuss along with other productions the fine work done by Edmonia Lewis in sculpture, and by Edmund M. Bannister and Harty O. Tanner in painting. The promising efforts of Negro painters of our time should not be ignored in any estimate of achievements in the fine arts in the United States. The teacher of English also has his opportunity. If he is interested in folk-lore, he will find in that of the Negro great treasures. If he is taking up American poets, he cannot neglect Phyllis Wheatley, Charles L. Reason, Dumbar.
If the instructor is restricted especially to contemporary verse it will be an easy task to review along with the works of other Americans the productions of poets of our time. If the task at hand is a study of the best essays, the results can be enriched by the use of the writings of James McCune Smith, Alexander Crummell, and W. E. B. DuBois.
If oratory comes up for consideration the picture is not complete without viewing the great utterances of Nathaniel Paul, Charles L. Remond, Samuel Ringold Ward, William Wells Brown, Frederick Douglass, and Booker T. Washington.
The teaching of American literature presents the same opportunity. In taking up writers like Benjamin Franklin, Louisa May Alcott, Henry W. Longfellow, John G. Whitier, James Russell Lowell, William Cullen Bryant, William E. Channing, Ralph W. Emerson, Edward Greely and Walt Whitman teachers should not fail to point out that these authors were fair-minded enough to weave into their literary works an appeal for justice and equality for all men. In the teaching of modern languages and literatures the opportunity to inspire the Negro is equally as great as in other spheres.
Prisons and Prisoners
Prisons and Prisoners
By Clifford C. Mitchell
KEEPING THE FAITH
Old Mother Nature has visited her ravages upon the citizenry of Chicago in a most impressive way. The themometer has registered way below zero; coal bins have had to be replenished; summer clothing has had to be discarded for the more comforting clothing of winter. In short, the temperature has changed the habits of many and these changes in habits has caused many a promise to go by the wayside.
This writer has been caught in the vortex of these promises and he in turn has had to break many promises, but fortunately everyone seems to be of an understanding and sympathetic nature and whereas the feeling of shame would ordinarily have predominated, a spirit of increased courage has been inspired and in the face of all difficulties I feel the necessity of caring on so that those who have put their confidence in me can be repaid.
It seems a part of this writer's experience to always receive the confidence of others and always there are others who are looking to me to make a success, and if for no other reason I must "carry on" and become the real hero to my many readers who are following my every action.
Laws, commands, or nothing else will bring out the good points of a fallen man like the love and knowledge that others have faith in him for the reciprocation of that feeling is something beyond the prisoner himself—it is something that only love—God himself—can engender into the heart, and it alone can cause the prisoner to ascend the ladder to the heights that is predestined for each man to climb.

This Week
By HAROLD G. EATON
The Editor of Our Various Newspapers Are Facing the Most Trying Time of Their Career
A scholarly writer once penned a line to this affect: "Tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are."
In other words, the company that one keeps reflects the true character of that individual. With this in mind, I would say this of the Negro newspaper and its effect upon its readers: Show me the colored papers of your city and I will tell you the kind of Negroes that constitute the city in which you reside.
If your local newspaper is a well-edited fearless fighter of injustice, your city is made up of colored people that will stand up for their rights. If it is the opposite, the members of your race are submissive and afraid to protest against injustice that is dealt to them. Dr. David D. Jones, head of Bennett College for Women, terms the Negro press as the "Moulders of Sentiment." The press is the brains of the people.
The Change
Up to now, the colored man's newspaper has been very much like the colored man himself; too much meekness plus an over-dose of religious sentiment. But experience and oppression have taught: that the aggressive individual accomplishes much more than the submissive one; and the former's demands are respected most. The do-not-hunting, non-protesting person gets nowhere and gains nothing, to say nothing of the respect he receives.
Since the country entered the new administration and the birth of the Blue Eagle has come about the race has found itself forcefully segregated in a so-called effort for national recovery.
Constituting the minority in numbers, and having little or no influence in the political machinery of the nation, Negroes have realized themselves in the worst predicament, economically, since emancipation. Untold thousands have been dismissed or fired from jobs that they held before the Code system went into effect. Many who were self-supporting a few months ago are now living on charity in communities where there are such organizations to care for the unemployed. Those few that are fortunate to continue holding jobs are paid the minimum wages allowed under the Code. The Blue Eagle, to the Negro, is a dirty bird, so to speak.
The Job of the Editors
Editors of our various newspapers are at present facing the most trivial time of their career. True, they are confronting many difficulties in the line of business to operate a newspaper at such a time; but this is a minor responsibility. There are some twelve million Afro-Americans in the United States that are undergoing the hardest times since slavery. This mass of black folk is today looking to the Negro press, more so than to the Negro church, for leadership in these days of depression. This is the major responsibility of the editors and their newspaper. It is their job to be the "moulders of sentiment."

Think It Over
By BEATRICE M. MURPHY
A LETTER TO MARY
Dear Mary:
Every time you start out to do something, no matter how big or small there's always some well-meaning friend to tell you how to do it. You soon discover that you've got to take a firm stand and decide "This is my fight. I'm going to do it my way according to my own convictions and ideas of right and wrong"; or, you've got to deliberately turn your back on what you feel to be right and allow yourself to be swayed by "popular opinion." The choice is not always an easy one to make. Following one's own convictions sometimes means hurting someone you love and finding yourself branded "coward" and "integrate."
You may find it absolutely necessary—in the midst of the conflict—to turn your back and walk from the field. Playing coward? Of course not! Just doing what every wise man realizes that he must do—and does! giving yourself a chance to regain your perspective. But no matter what the reason, you will be branded "coward" just the same. The price that one pays for being different from the majority is not a small one, by any means.
You will also be amazed at how difficult it will be to follow your own convictions. Your ideas of right and wrong will seldom coincide with those of your associates; for though your souls meet on a common plane they do not touch hands. You will find men ready to sween aside and "forgive" you for every opinion and belief you have held which was contrary to theirs, if you will only give them up and follow the beaten path. Society tolerates individuality only in geniuses—not in common people like you and me.
Your life is your life only if you are man or woman enough to make it so. Your soul is your soul only if you are willing to fight to keep it. You are the son or daughter of Society, and she is a jealous mother. Thou shalt have no other gods before her. Thou shalt follow no course of action except those prescribed by her. Even your joy and sorrow is controlled and guided by her. There are things which you "do not do" and "do not say"—no matter how true and noble they may be—because Society has put her thumbs down. What you are and what you think—your opinions and your ideas—have all been thought out for you. All you have to do is follow; unless you have the courage to say:
Let me live my own life sacrificing no one; but if I must make a choice between Society and my sense of dececy and right, if I must lose a friend or my convictions, may I ever keep my convictions. May I ever keep my soul free and cling to what I believe regardless of the pain it might inflict upon another. Above all things, may I ever, from beginning to end, remain—true to myself!
Think it over!
We are about to be convinced that there is no worse punishment on this earth than shaving in a cold room on a cold morning with kitchen soap and a dull razor.
Those who give have all things; they withhold have nothing.
The second period encompasses 39 years from the end of the Civil War to 1909 and the rapid growth of the fraternal orders and assessment associations are discussed at length;
The third section (1909-1931) presents the era of the legal reserve companies from the founding of the first legal reserve company, the Mississippi Beneficial Association in 1909 to the debacle of the National Benefit in 1931. The contribution of the National Negro Insurance Association and the Federation of Negro Fraternals is discussed in this section.
Mr. Trent is an alumnus of Livingstone College ('30) and pursued graduate work in business administration at the University of Pennsylvania. He received the degree of Master of Business Administration in 1932 and since that time has been a member of the faculty at his alma mater and this year is assistant business manager of the college.

"All aboard! We're off." This was the cry heard on all sides as trains, buses and private automobiles turned toward Atlantic City, the world's playground, where the annual Thanksgiving football classie, the game between Howard and Lincoln is being played this year. Washington will be well represented. There will be many who are not going because of the game itself, for to them it will be only another scramble. But these fair maids and matrons will be in the limelight at the social functions which will be in progress before and after the game.
Since last week's announcement of the breakfast and reception to be given by Mrs. Sarah Spencer Washington, invitations have been received from the Les Jolies and Hy-Lites, a club composed of many of the teachers and socially prominent maids and matrons of Atlantic City. They are Beatrice O. Childs, Edythe L. Dempsey, Carrie M. Esters, Anna B. Freeman, Julia A. Goens, Anna L. Hayes, Helen C. Hoxter, Edythe C. Jenkins, Lenora K. Morgan, Mary E. Paige, and Helen B. Randall. These young ladies are entertaining Thursday at midnight after the game at the Ritz Tea Garden.
Other house parties have been scheduled too numerous to mention, which will necessitate a look here, a peep there, and then be off. Without a doubt those who will be there will be well entertained.
And what about Richmond? Yes, quite a few have expressed intentions of witnessing the game between Hampton and Union. If its the game you are anxious about, these teams will offer good competition. However, those Richmond social leaders are noted for their Southern hospitality, so a good game interspersed with social pleasures will be the reward of those taking a Southern route.

On this Friday, the home-lovers who have preferred Washington to any other place will be given a chance to dance with the Mu-So-Let Club at Masonic Temple. Good music will be on hand for the dancing.
The Trebble Clet Club, composed of many of Washington's music lovers was entertained by Mrs. Lillian Cornish, of 132 U Street, Northwest, last week.
One of the outstanding events of the week was given Saturday evening at Johnson Wesley A.M.E. Zion Church by the Special Project Group of the Community Committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., when V. L. Granville was presented in "Dramatic Interludes." Mr. Granville, a distinguished English actor, was superb. His work was done in costume, which changes he effected in from two to three minutes. During the evening he interpreted twelve numbers and made so many changes. His audience was thrilled and held spellbound during the entire performance. The church was filled with socially prominent people, who love art and literature.
Among the patrons may be included Mrs. Beatrice Adams, Cato W. Adams, Alonzo J. Aden, Mrs. Norma Bacchus, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Bomar, Attorney and Mrs. Thomas C. R. Bragg, Mr. and Mrs.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933
Big, Bold, Wonderful Men
Seen at a fashionable gathering last week were Mr. and Mrs. Albert Beverly, 1326 Wallach Place, Northwest, and the lovely "Marcella" was so very charming in a pretty brown outfit that t you couldn't really blame her handsome husband for beaming, sort of possessively, you know.
A few short weeks ago, or rather, so it seems, you saw one of those cute little over-one-eye hats and yo uran into Reid's Corner at Eleventh and U, and bought one (probably paying your last $2.50 for it). You rushed right home and spent hours before the looking-glass pulling that hat off and on until finally—well, you got it on your head at just the swankiest angle imaginable. And then you thrilled with pride as you coquettishly glanced at your face in the mirror. You even said to yourself, "I'm almost too smart for words." Now, alas! You peep at a paper today, and Lo! These fatal lines greet you: "Off-the-face hats are here." So, what is there for one to do but to run right back to Reid's Corner and buy another hat? It does seem that Lady Fashion (knowing how many old "Demon Depression" has sketched across our brows, would let us keep them covered now). Never mind, it's veil time anyway and the right kind of a veil, with almost any little hat, can make charmers of most of us. So, cheer up, little lady! Unpucker your brow and tilt your hat back now.
You see a stunning figure rushing toward an airport. Her laughing black eyes are wide with excitement. She is about to board a plane. It's Miss Jewell Jennifer, the popular radio artist, of course. She is such a wonderful person to have around, you really are not surprised that her relatives (she's a member of the prominent Jennifer family of New Jersey Avenue and Park Road) and friends made her over-stay her time when she ran down on a visit. (She's with a well-known theatrical company in New York) and the only possible way to avoid being late for an engagement was to fly, and so she flew to the big town and phoned right back. "Twas fun!"
Present at the recital sponsored by the Special Project Group of the Community Committee of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A., featuring V. L. Granville, English actor, in "Dramatic Interludes," were Dr. and Mrs. E. C. Wiggins. With dark, round eyes adorning a lovely face, Mrs. Wiggins, a vivid little individual, can do the most wonderful things to a plain black costume with a touch of white. Now, can't she?
As a fox-hunt is to a hound—interesting, exciting, exhilarating—so is a news-hunt to a reporter. And when the scene of the "hunt" is the Murray Casino, with its soft lights, mirrored walls, and romantic atmosphere; when the scribe is a certain slim individual who rushes in "where angels fear to tread"; when the news she is trying to get is all about the dance of the Bachelor-Benedict Club, that superlatively smart social club composed of Washington's best known business and professional men, then the chase does indeed become a wonderful adventure.
Did the poor little reporter get in? She did not. That is, not exactly. Of course she has only herself to blame, for her friends told her she wouldn't succeed (but then some of the Bachelor-Benedicts told her she would). So straightway she began to "storm the castle," (I mean the Casino) and by the time she had "crashed" through the first few walls her poor little bone-head was so badly cracked she had to rush right home and get some "beauty sleep." Did I say "beauty sleep"? Well, anyway, some sleep. Better luck to her next time. Perhaps, when the ultra-exclusive Bachelor-Benedict Club is ready for its next dance the bone in that particular reporter's head will have turned to ivory or marble or some other such substance and she'll be able to struggle through the final wall.
Anyway, the stupid little scribe lind a lot of fun. So many interesting people. For instance, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Haylett, 1727 S Street, Northwest. He's the popular president of the club and his wife—well, now really, have you ever seen a lovelier little lady than she? And in a soft lace dress of paired pink she must have been a picture. (I saw her hours before in a plain little dress at home and she was ever so entrancing then.) There was Mrs. Creed Childs (magnetic "Martha," you know) trying to decide whether to keep that gorgeous silver requin jacket on over her long black gown, or let it hang tantalizingly from a be-jewelled arm. There was the radiant little lady whose smile brings out the deepest, dearest dimples in the world, and there was her beaming husband (Mr. and Mrs. John Wilkinson, I mean). There was Mrs. Fred Wilkinson, too, the charming "Maggie," with her smart gray locks adding an extra bit of charm. Then there was her husband, the popular registrar of Howard University.

diamonds and rhinestones; and the sparkling bright eyes of the dancers made it altogether a dazzling affair. And it's too bad you had to miss all of it and the poor little reporter a part of it.

It's really too terrible for Baltimore that two of its most prominent school teachers, jolly Mr. William McAbeg and his ever so bewitching wife, have relatives (and a lot of friends, too) in Washington who positively would not survive without a visit every now and then from that interesting couple. For when Baltimore "boasts" no "McAbees" it's an awfully dreary place.

So this is Thanksgiving week. Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York, and a hit of other "Whose Woe" will "hop into a plane, or take a train to the City-by-the-Sea for the Howard-Lincoln football game. And what a game it will be! And what a setting for that game! Think of it! Convention Hall in the evening. Luck to the Bisons. With every smart Atlantic City matron getting her breakfast, luncheon, dinner, dance, or what not over in a big way there will be a gay time for everybody and the hours will go all too soon. Some of us will stay at home. All of us will have something for which to give thanks. Among the million and one things I for one, have to be thankful for is the fact that there are so many lovely ladies and big, bold, wonderful men to "brattle" about.
Bloomingdale Defeated by Aces in Tourney
The biggest upset of the season was the defeat of the Bloomingdale Club by the Aces in the national card tournament by a score of 181 to 137 last week.

< Producer of “Adam and Eve
Matthews, who is well known in
Washington for his “Adam and
Eye” of last year, has produced
another heavenly play in “Shad-
ows on the Moon.” You will re-

Scenes from the celestial world,
Well, “Shadows or. the Moon’ is
entirely different, but there is a
Master of the Universe in William
Francis, a bevy of beautiful stars,
butterfies, and Life by Sheldon
Hoskins and Death by Harry. J.
Hunt.
Depression in Heaven
The play is in two acts and ten
scenes. The ovening finds the de-
pression has invaded heaven and
the Master of the Universe has
called in all and sundry to do their
part in helping to relieve the situ-
ation, The Moon (Brook Waters)
is called on to spend less in get-
ting full and to come in earlier,
the stars are cautioned to twinkle
less, to save electricity, Life ad-
vised to clip the wings of the
stork ard Death is warned to cease
activities,
As a result of this edict Life
and Death are given a vacation
so both decide to come to earth
and live as humans. They are re-
incarnated in the bodies of two
young men who are killed in a
tyain wreck. Both disguised as

respectively, meet the girl friends,

‘HE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 30, 1933
Costume of Paint
There ave any number, of spe-
cialities. Among the outstanding
are the three Little Dots, a trio.
that dances out of pure joy and
premeates the entine audience
with their sheer happiness in just
being alive.
Then there is Elder Russell who
does a dance number on. roller
skates on the top of a small round
table. There is also the young
m.n who does @ nce clothed in
a coat of bronze pa‘nt. There are
also several dances in which young
men and women are’ practically
clothed in little less ‘than grease
and paint. Baltimore i: aecustom-
ed to such things, :and the large
crowd enjoyed the performance.
To Be Pliyed Here
Mr. Matthews has asked the
writer to arrange a performance
here for the: play and “Slmdows on
the Moon” is scheduled to be seen
before a Washington audience in
the near future. All in all the play
is dicerent from the regular run
of honky-tonk affairs one sees
here abouts day in and night. The
girls are pretty, unsophiticated
and young. They can dance as
well as sing, The gentlemen of
the chorus are good looking, have
pleasant voices, dance and some of
them are rather effiminate,
The first showing of “Sradows
on the Moon” netted $300 for Mor-
gan College, a worthy cause, In
reviewing the play ore has to pay
respects to Rivers D. Chambers
who wrote the music and directs
the orchestra, He has done. an
excellent job,

Thanksgiving Day Dinner At
fe
Low Cost to Tribune Readers
By Gertrude C. Frazier
‘Today is turkey day—but many of us will have
SSS our turkey dinner on Sunday. Hence we are not
Pe amiss to talk turkey for that probable Sabbath
4 dinner, In case you do not have the big bird, chik-
en is in order, so here are recipes for both—take
‘ E your choice.
Note the menu here and try it, you will notice
that it is a very low cost meal, with emphasis on
“very.” A dinner like this is sure to please the
family to a T.
These cold mornings are just the sort that the
men folks will appreciate waffles or crackling
bread. The latter is especially good for the romp-
ing bor.
Relative to hot waffles, I have found from per-
sonal experience that the members of my family
show signs of great pleasure when I serve this hot
treat of mornings.) It gives me as much pleasure
Gertrude C. Frazier to set waffles before them and note their con-
tentment as it does in giving them enjoyment.
Waffles may be served with syrup, molasses, jelly, or just with
butter. Never serve them, though, without some sweet spread to go
over them.
Tt would be a good habit to introduce the old fashionable crack-
ling bread as a winter item. Such a season dish for now, gs it is in
the midst of “killing time” (meaning butchering of hogs), with some
of us. The recipe given here is very simple.

Winter is here and friend hus-

but which his wife hates to cook
because of the odor they leave in
the house. Here is a method which
if followed leaves little odor. Cut
the onions across and separate inte
rings.
Peel and slice them underneath
water to prevent odor and sinarting
the eyes, Dry the rings in a papel
sack in which has been placed a
cup of flour and shake around until
they are well dredged.
. Then dip in a medium batter and
fry in deep fat. Cook only a few
‘at a time so that the rings won't
stick together. Cook until they are

ceived from Clark’ Foreman, an-
swefing for Mr. ‘Ickes.: The letter,
which tock up the ‘matter of em-

Negro employees in'the Bureau of
Reclamation’ and the, rule. which
ptohibits Negroes living in Boulder
City, answered all three: points.
“As 1 understand it,” Mr. Fore-

under three heads:
“(1): Discrimination’ against’ Ne-
groes-in, the employment. of labot
onthe Boulder: City dam;
“(2). diserimination against Ne

tion;
“(3) discrimination against Ne

only say that the contracts for this
work wene made whder’ the previou:
administration and ave not. within

future. instances of such discrim
ination, however, the Secretary has
sent but to all state enginedrs’ in
charge of public. works a state
ment. requiring that there be n
discrimination ‘on, the basis. of col:
or oy. veligion in employment for
public works. = * ‘
“With vegatds to the second, }
understand that your accusation:
are correct—that there are no Ne-
gto’ employées in. the Bureau’ ot

given this his attention and Ne.
goes will be employed in the ‘Bu:
vreau of Reclamation as. soon a:
possible,
“As to the third, the Secretary
will see to it that provisions be
made in Boulder City for Negroes
and that the rule which excludes
them from living in Boulder City

provided for Negroes in the city.
“Assuring you of the Secretary’

State Wins Right to
Operate Western Univ.
KANSAS CITY, ians.—(ANP)
—Thirty-four years ago when the
Rey, W, T.. Vernon was principal
of Western University, an_agree-
ment was entered into with the
State of Kanzas, whoreby the Af-
rican Methodist ehvrch would deed
to the state 15 adres of land and
upon which the State would build
an. industrial school.
"Mr. Vernoz had a proviso plae-
ed in the contract whereby if the
Stategave up its unde:taking, all
its properties and investments
would revert to. the church,
Last week, however. this term
of the contract was reversed, Bi-
shop Vernon is now superitendent
of the state section of the school.
The AME. church decided to
forego. its. activities in connection
with the institution lact May.
The church further sought. to
restrain the state from continuing
to operate the school, but Judge
Clyde ©. Glandon upheld the
State's demurrer to the church pe-
tition for en injunction against
the State, and sustained the right
of the State to operate Western
University.
The school was founded in 1881.
Since that time, the church has
erected only one bu:iding, Ward
Hall, a dormitory, upon which a
$25,000 mortgage still exists.
* The State, since 1899, has ap-
propriated a million and one-half
dollars to the school.

ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP)—B. C.
Baskerville, well known Atlanta
citizen, has recently been appointed
an organizer among Negroes for

through the recommendation of
Forrester B. Washington, directoy

Mr, Baskerville is working. out
of the Southern office of the Amer-

organized a local of express and
freight handlers in Atlanta which
has recently received the A.F. of L.
charter from headquarters at
Washington; one in Chattanooga,
Tenn., which has reeeived its ehar-
ter} and another in Florence, S.C.
which is about to receive its char-
ter. To date, therefore, he has set
up three Negro local unions in as
many cities.
Mr. Baskerville’s appointment
probably represents the first time
that a highly trained Negro has
heen sought as a general organizer
for his race by the A-F, and L. in
the South.
He has made a study of the his-
tory of the Negro in relation. to
labor and is well versed in the theo-

By 0. Adamson
ATLANTA, Ga. (ANP)—At a
meeting of Southern industrial-
ists in ‘Atlanta, Georgia, accord-
‘ing to the. November 2, issue of
the Atlanta Journal, J. H. Ames,
of Selma, Ala., proposed for-
miulation codes “for “‘subnormal
labor” in the South as-a_loop-
hole ior Southern enterprises
who are willing to pay to Negro
Jabor even'the inadequate minis
mum wage proposed in many of
the industrial codes adopted un-
der the NRA. Bena
Jn support of his secoininien-
dation, Mr. Ames is reported. to
have said that because “certain
types of labor in the South” are
Jess efficient than Northern la-
bor, Southern industries: cannot
pay the-high wages which are,
possible in the North, where: pro-
duction costs are lower by virtue
of more efficient labor. This is
thé patent argument .which has
been prevalent in the South for

quest of persons closely affiliated
with the government recovery
movement that Mr. Baskerville was
recommended.

ORGANIZATIONS
OURS PRET
FR BUILDING
Over 100 organizations, civic as-
sociations .and individual, citizens
lined up this week with the South-
west Civie Association_in its, fight
for a new house for Engine Com-
pany No. 4, modern equipment for
the fire fighters and traffic lights
for eight intersections in the South-
west section.
Dr. George L. Johneon, chairman
of a committee on public service of
the association, read endorsements
from practically every fraternal,
civie and yeligious organization in
the city in which these groups
heartedly favored new quarters for
the engine company, Inelided in
the list were many colored ‘and
white concerns in the Southwest.
House 65 Years Old
The house in which the company
is located is 65 years old and was
erected in 1869, It is the fourth
oldest fire house in the District.
‘The high stone viaduct of the
Pennsylvania Railroad directly in
front of the building slows up the.
apparatus in responding to calls.
This wall is only 40 feet from the
door of the house. 1
‘Dr, Johnson pointed out that of
the 4,576 intersections in the city
200 ave in the South, and of the 250
trafic’ lights here only twovare in
that section, He stated that this
is less than one per cent, although
seven per cent of traffic mecidents
occur in the Southwest, according
to figures compiled by the traffic
bureau,

has approved traffic Jights at Sixth

Before a light is installed the
trafic bureau requires that a count
must show that 1,000 vehicles have
passed a given intersection in an
hour over @ period of seven hours
and 250 pedestrians must pass the
same intersection. Many intersec-
tions inthe Southwest do not have
such a iarge amount of traffic, but
the number of motors and pedes-

Methodist Bishops are Told of Negroes' Tribulations
W. A. C. HUGHES ADDRESSES M.E. MISSION BOARD
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP)—Speaking at the annual meeting of the Home Mission Board of the M.E. Church, which met here November 1: composed of bishops in the home field and representatives from all sections of the country, W. A. C, Hughes, director of Negrd work, described present day conditions facing the race.
"The Nation" said he, "must not ignore one-tenth of its population and one-ninth of the nation's workers if we are to have permanent industrial or agricultural recovery. A study of the labor situation as it affects Negro workers reveals that they are being discharged in numbers where the recovery act codes force upon employers shorter hours of labor and increased pay. "Three million workers, about one-half of the total number of Negroes who must work for a livelihood are not covered by any of the industrial codes. These workers are chiefly the domestics and the personal servant groups. Employers attempt to justify a smaller wage for Negroes," he stated, "by asserting that they can live cheaper than whites. They can, of course, when they have to. If they are forced to live in alleys and unsanitary communities where they get cheaper rent and if they buy inferior foods and clothing they can live cheaper.
Says Methodists Should Back Negro
"The church," said Dr. Hughes, "must minister to man in his entirety. Its program must take in the entire range of being. It must be religions, social and economic—and all of these at the same time. The Methodist Episcopal Church not only has the opportunity to serve but also a responsibility to the Negro in our present social and economic crisis. It has more colored members than have all other predominantly white denominations.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church has made itself felt in the affairs of government. The denomination is back of temperance reform and the movement for world peace. It may with equal justification put itself back of the interests of the Negro working classes wherever it becomes evident that discrimination threatens the welfare of so large and important a group."
A Committee on Race Relations .
Is Formed
At the request of the Bureau, a committee on race relations was created consisting of Bishop Robert: E. Jonas, of New Orleans, Louisiana; Bishop F. T. Keeney, of Atlanta, Ga.; E. G. Richardson, of Philadelphia, Pa.; John A. Patten, Indianapolis, Ind.; Ernest C. Cherrington, of Westerville, Ohio; Mrs. S. S. Kresge, of Detroit, Mich.; and M. A. Dawber, of Philadelphia, with Doctor E. D. Kohlstedt and W. A. C. Hughes, ex-officio members.
The purpose is to promote goodwill in theological semenaries, educational institutions and church institutions. It is further planned to give the support of this institution toward the religious, social, and economic well-being of the colored race. The Bureau has in mind the giving of such aid as may be of service in our National Recovery Aets.

Text: He thanked God and took courage. Acts 28:15.
Since 1929, America has been passing through one of the most critical periods in her history.
Although between 1900 and 1919, the aggregate wealth of the land increased 400 per cent, never before has poverty been more acute and suffering more intense. Lawlessness and crime appear to be on the increase. The political, economic, and financial worlds seem dazed after experiencing one of the greatest holocausts in the memory of man.
These are the times that try men's souls. Yet, in spite of the many disappointments and reverses, we have many things for which to be thankful.

should stop a few moments every day and see what God has done for him.
"Throw Away the Hammer"
We should throw away the hammer and take up the horn. While we may not as yet have attained the goal of our ambition, conditions could be infinitely worse.
Think of the people across the waters, in certain localities, who would be compelled to travel through dangerous forests and other perils for relief in order to cover a distance equal to that of Washington from Jacksonville. If one, of us becomes suddenly ill, a physician can be summoned in a short space of time.
The humanitarian spirit was never so manifest as today. Think of the various charitable agencies which give relief to thousands of discouraged, desititute, and helpless persons. These things we should be thankful for.
Paul not only thanked God, but he took courage. His heart received a new life and he was ready to prosecute with vim and vigor the task assigned to him.
Times like these need men and women with vision and courage who are not ashamed or afraid to spread the standard of righteousness, fellowship, and truth. Let us face the future with quietness and confidence.
"The hardest man in the world to beat
Is the man who can laugh in the face of defeat."

To Thee, Lord, thanks and grace
For Hope, and Love to bear;
For strength; to keep the pace.
No pride of pomp or place;
But pain we have to spare;
To Thee, Lord, thanks and grace.
Today my gentle race
Looks up to In Thee in prayer;
For strength to keep the pace;
Turn not away Thy face;
Scorn not an humble air;
To Thee, Lord, thanks and grace.
And glad do we abase
Our hearts withil Thy care;
For strength to keep the pace;
Shall never then erase
The dee, the dawning fair;
The dark, the dawning fair;
To Thee, Lord, thanks and grace
For strength to keep the pace.

Smith's Endorsement Meets Opposition of Lawyers
BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL
MEMBERS OF BAR OPPOSE E.B. SMITH
Special Meeting Called to Have Endorsement Reconsidered
In a stormy special call meeting, Thursday evening, the Washington Bar Association sought to have its endorsement of Emory B. Smith for the post of judge of the Police Court reconsidered. The association the previous week endorsed Attorney Smith for position, and endorsed the reappointment of Judge James A. Cobb to the Municipal Court. The special meeting last week was called by Perry W. Howard, George A. Parker and Nathan A. Dobbins. The latter asked the group to reconsider its previous action and pointed out that on the basis of an investigation Mr. Smith did not meet the statutory requirements for appointment as judge.
Lacks Requirements
Lacks Requirements
Mr. Dobbins pointed out that Mr. Smith has not practiced three years immediately preceding his appointment; has voted in New York; is not a resident of the District within the statutor requirements of the District and that he will use the Police Court endorsement in his cancidacy for the post as judge of the Municipal Court.
The association is said to have voted 11 to 6 against reconsidering its former action which leaves the matter where it was before the meeting. As it stands Mr. Smith has the endorsement for Police Court judgship.
4 Out for Post
There are several candidates for the Municipal judgeship with Armond W. Scott as the most favored, according to high Democratic officials here. Besides Mr. Smith and Mr. Scott two others are known to be out for the post. They are William Houston and R. R. Horner.
Besides prominent Democrats in the District Mr. Scott has the endorsement of many party leaders in the states, including many senators.

PORTERS HOLD THEIR THIRTEENTH CONVENTION
Lack to NewMembersPoin to Big Decrease in Work Being Done by Red Caps
CHICAGO, Ill. (ANP) — Delegates from coast to coast, including Canada and Mexico, were in attendance at the thirteenth annual convention of the Pullman Porters' Benefit Association of America, convening at the Wabash Avenue Y.M.C.A., here, November 21 to 23. The first day's session was open to the public and many visitors were present. Devotional exercises were conducted by Dr. J. B. Redmond, pastor of St. Mark's Methodist Episcopal Church. Address of welcome was given by O. Calloway, East Chicago, with the response by A. P. Wofford, Buffalo.
No New Members

The reports of the secretary-treasurer, E. M. Graham, and the comptroller, P. A. Sample, showed the association to be on a solid foundation and operating on a sound basis. No increase in membership was reported, however, due to the number of porters out on furloughs, etc.

Federal News Notes
by LAURENCE J. W. HAYES
To my mind, gratitude is the cardinal virtue.
I am thankful that I have a steady position, a fair salary and congenial employment.
Federal employees in general, and Negro federal employees in particular, have much to be thankful for. Thomas Willet, writing in the Washington Daily News of November 27, had this to say:
"Without a doubt, I think Government employees are the most dissatisfied humans on earth. They do more howling than the big bad wolf that hangs around the door of the man who has no job at all.
"I wonder if they realize what it means to have a steady job, fair salary, short hours, vacation without pay (be it only two weeks), and all holidays." No, they are too busy figuring what a terrible time they are having."
"The Government won't hold them if they can do better elsewhere."
"Now, pipe down, 'Government clerks,' and give the fellow who is walking the streets a chance to do a little moaning."
So you see we are not so bad off after all.
I wonder how many of my readers knew that although Thanksgiving was first proclaimed in 1864, it was first suggested in 1789.
It seems that Abraham Lincoln, then President, proclaimed a national day of celebration for Thanksgiving in 1864, while the House of Representatives and Senate suggested the idea back in 1789.
On September 25th of that year Representative Roudinot introduced a resolution on the floor of the House that President Washington set aside a day of sincere thanks to the Lord for affording an opportunity to establish their Government.
The original document which destroys the popular belief that official observance originated with the President, was brought to light by James D. Preston, librarian of the Senate, and Col. Edwin A. Halsey, secretary of the Senate, in recent investigations.
Now, to return to some reasons why Federal employees in general should be thankful for their lot.
My favorite Federal employee organization (the American Federation of Government Employees, which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor) reports that the tenor of the replies being received to its questionnaire addressed to members of Congress strengthens the belief that the Senate and the House upon re-convening will be in a frame of mind to readjust the burden now imposed upon the employees of the Government.
We know that: this burden goes further than the reduction in pay which the employees have suffered; this burden goes to the refusal of the Government to recognize merit and ability by granting well earned promotions; this burden goes to the denial of proper sick and annual leave; it goes to the ever blighting of the merit system in the civil service.
Judging however, from the telegrams and letters received by the A.F. of G.E. (many of which I have seen), Congress will take the path back to decency instead of persisting along the roadway which was hurriedly laid down by the so-called "economy sessions."
According to announcements of the Federation more than 100 Senators and Representatives have declared that they favor restoration of the full pay in the Government service.
The number, of course, is not conclusive—but it does furnish a satisfactory nucleus upon which to build a majority in both Houses.
I wish to publicly express my gratitude to Fred (White House) Pryor for the many good things which he has done and is still doing for me.
As a gesture of appreciation to my readers, I will stop here thus punishing them about one-half the usual time. See you next week.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (ANP)—Declaring that Negro schools were following too closely in the pathway of white institutions, without taking into consideration the background and aims of the students whom they were serving, President I. W. Young of Langston University, Langston, Oklanoma, observed during the recent meeting of Negro Land Grant Presidents.
"The growing interest of Land Grant Colleges as education centers for Negroes, invites my attention to no small degree and challenges my thinking when I seek to promote and present the best for the youth of my race.
"I suggest that mission of the land grant school for the Negro is to lay a firm foundation of economic stability, acceptable social status, intelligent thinking and reasoning, with a mental discipline for a scientific interpretation of life and its philosophies.
"To do this successfully there must be cultivation of ability to make a research in the field of Negro agricultural education. Such has been and is now the processes in the institutions of liberal arts medicine, dentistry, engineering and in the white land grant colleges We have in large measure tied or to the kite tail of the white land grant colleges' findings without considering their full and free application to our own needs and their adjustments.

North Carolina Governor Speaks at Shaw on Founder's Day
RALEIGH, N.C.—Gov. J. C. B. Ehringhaus, of North Carolina, in delivering the Founder's Day address at Shaw University on Monday, November 20, declared with respect to Shaw University that "to have ministered to the educational aspirations of 10,000 young men and women and to have sent out for useful service throughout the land 2,000 or more graduates is in itself a record sufficient to establish this institution not only as one of real ministration but as having a potential influence upon the life and well-being of your race and the entire Commonwealth which cannot be measured or overestimated." The Governor in describing in detail the progress which has been made in recent years in the educational program
vironment demands a scientific knowledge of production. Have we produced any masters of the soil who can take 20 acres of land and make them produce the equivalent of a 40-acre production? Have we learned the science of animal breeding and hog production that will bring us greater return for our effort? Have we produced teachers of agriculture who can teach students to bring about these and other practical results that can raise our power and strengthen our well-being.
"Even now our agricultural education is in the classroom. We are developing agricultural philosophers but no artisans. What is to become of the great mass that must depend upon the soil and that for many years to come? Our teachers of vocational agriculture can do excellently upon the blackboard in the classroom but are utter failures on the field. The fault lies largely in our curriculum.
"There is too much theory and not enough practice. Our resources are not sufficient to justify our present aims. We must adjust our efforts to meet present demands. In other words, our effort should be to train the group to produce more in the field and the shop. Producing does not necessarily mean quantity. It means quality as well. Our land grant schools offer our greatest opportunity for getting these results since they are the more nearly adequately supported of all our college opportunity."

Secondly, in the last decade there has been a gain of more than 1,200 teachers in the colored schools of the state, or 23 per cent." The program included besides the principal exercises at which the Governor spoke, the brief memorial service at the grave of Dr. Henry Martin Tupper, founder of the institution, a luncheon, and the broadcast of an address by President Wm.

Randall Junior High School
At the faculty meeting on last Tuesday, Mrs. Irene Malvan made a report of a recent visit-to-guidance centers in New York City. At the Parent-Teacher meeting Thursday, the principal presented for consideration the question of "Questionable Houses in the Community," the opportunity the civil works program offers in providing means for the establishment of suitable recreational centers for Southwest boys and also girls; plans for caring for the needy pupils of the school, and the purpose of the Christmas play which is to be given by the school on December 20. The association appointed a committee to investigate certain complaints of improper influences in the community, with a view of having these places closed.
The project of creating a social atmosphere in the cafeteria was so successful that the council members no longer have to take the initiative and so they have turned their attention to the task of popularizing the morning "Sings" at Randall. The "Sings" begin at 8:45 and last for 10 minutes. To date Section 9-2, of which Miss Milton is the teacher, has the largest number of children present as well as the most interesting song program. The Student Council is pleased to note that more teachers are there each morning to be with the children during this special project time.
The 7th Grade sections, which heretofore have been behind the other grades in helping to make the cafeteria attractive, were officially complimented this week for tastefulness of their table decoration scheme.
At its last meeting the Student Council decided to plan an honor assembly as an incentive to the different sections which are trying to improve their records in tardiness and class effort.
The report for section attention and effort in classes for the week ending November 17, sets a new standard at Randall in number of A's received. Out of a possible score of 50, the girls of Section 9A3 had a rating of 43 A's, while the boys of the same section had 42 A's. This is also the first time that the boys and girls of the same section have stood at the head of the list. Section 9B6 came next with an average of 37 A's.
The Camp Fire Girls Club meets each Monday afternoon from 2:15 to 3:00, under the direction of Miss E. R. Clarke, offering an opportunity for what Dr. Crane calls "Civic habits" development.

TWELVE
A writer, coach, critic or whatnot, having to listen, the four best men from the wealth of ends provided by the 1953 scholastic series, will find himself confronted with a problem the like of which has not had its equal in many years. There were no less than seven great ends—so far no greatest goes in high school football—in the limelight during the season just ended.
Many Good Ends
Of the seven, Shepherd, diminutive flankman of the championship Armstrong High School eleven, was probably the stand-out. Shepherd, rated by his coaches as one of the best ever to don a scholastic uniform in Washington, excelled in both offensive and defensive play. Spells, Jack Young's Cardozo mainstay, makes an ideal running mate for the Techite. Both are deadly tacklers, rest under punts and capable handlers of forward passes.
Rustin and Covington deserves rating just below the first pair. The lanky Poet, coming into his own late in the season, showed just about the best defensive efforts of any participant in the crucial Dunbar-Arnstrong game. The edge enjoyed by the Shepherd-Spell team lies in their consistency throughout the season and in their superiority in offensive play. Covington's gilt is displayed by his splendid performance in the game against Dunbar despite a badly wrenched ankle which incapacitated him for several days after the game.
Tackles Match Well
Moving into the line we find Contee, of Dunbar and Dixon, of Armstrong, holding the upper hands in the tackle position. This pair, in the estimation of the writer, cannot be improved upon as an ideal team. The Poet had no equal in the matter of breaking through and scurrying plays of his opponents before they could be started, and the latter was exceptionally effective as a relentless charger and blocker. His presence in the line had much to do with the success of the Armstrong attack.
Tom Williams was easily the guard stand-out of the season. The Crimson and Black captain showed himself to be the peer of all the defensive linemen despite the responsibility of the captaincy of his eleven. He, with Stanton, gave Dünbar the advantage over her opponents at the center of the line. The two played superb defensys football and accounted for the

duties of stellar guards in every respect.
Pivot Material Medigre
No credit should be taken from Herbie Tobias because the high schools were not particularly strong at the center position this year. The Purple and White pivot man did a good job, and would have probably won mention even had his two opponents shown something worthy of merit. He was an accurate and smooth passer and a master diarmostician.
If any all-star selection was ever made with a conscience free of fear of criticism, the writer can well sit back and name Steve Wiggins, of Armstrong, as quarterback and the go on into the land of peaceful slumber. No back on any school team in any game in the conference played with the consistency and versatility the crack Westmoreland ball-carrier displayed during the 1933 grid campaign. Wiggins not only showed superior generalship in the game against the Poets, but the quiet, unassuming youngstee gave a beautiful exhibition of running, passing and kicking throughout the season to establish himself as the outstanding triple-threat of the series. Yous truly actually belives that Wiggins could call the spot within a radius of 15 feet where his pumps would drop.
Cardozo Wins Half-back Berths
Lamar and Robinson, two young speedsters who ran side by side in the Cardozo backfield are my choices for the half-back field. Both are very much alike in their ball-carrying. Speed of foot, shiftiness and a change of pace were three marked features of the pair which bore the brunt of the Clerk attack. They, with Wiggins and Harrison, also of Armstrong, found out a backfield which can boast of every asset essential to a star quartet.
Harrison, though handicapped by an old injury, fought his way into all-star mention through sheer grit. A driver, from the very start of a play in which he was the central figure, the Armstrong fullback could be counted on for the ever vital short gain. His speed of foot gained him many laurels as the most consistent ground-gainer of the Orange and Blue Aggregation.
Second Team Canâble
It is to be regretted that space will not permit a detailed discussion of the players named for the second team. This choice, however, should come in for no little praise, as it holds players who were very nearly on a par with those selected for the first team. It would prove quite capable if gotten together for a game with any sort of scholastic combination.
Downingtown, Mid-Atlantic Favorite, Again Beaten
DOWNINGTOWN, Pa. = Beginning what it hopes to make its annual home-coming game, Downing-town dispointed its alumni. Up until it met Bowie last week, Coach Hunt's protéges were the favorites to cop the championship in the M3A. Its 7-0 defeat by Delaware, Saturday, virtually put Downing-town out of the race.
Led by Captain Wynder, the boys from Delaware played a great game of ball which spelled doom for the Pennsylvanians. The playing of Wynder was the outstanding feature of the game. Although outplayed in the first half Delaware was enabled to win because of a fumble by Crump of a punt on Downingtown's 1-yard line. The ball was recovered by a Delaware player and Wynder crossed the line for the one touchdown of the game. Gibbs went through the line for the extra marker.
THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1933
1930
The Lions of Lincoln University proved lambs before the on rush of the Howard University Bisons at Atlantic City, Thursday night before a holiday crowd estimated at 6,000. Lincoln's touchdown was made in the final quarter following two blocked kicks. Williams, attempting to get the ball away, was not quick enough and Berger broke through to down him on Howard's 13-yard line. Williams attempted to punt again and Robeson, Lincoln's 200-pound left tackle, crashed through the line, blocked the kick, recovered and tumbled over the Howard goal line. The extra point was made by Ward.
H. U. ROOTERSWERE TOO FEW FOR EXCURSION
Only 210 Buy Tickets; 300 Needed; So Train Doesn't Move
Two hundred ten persons, students and friends of the Howard University football team, were disappointed yesterday morning when the proposed excursion to Atlantic City, N.J., the scene of the Howard-Lincoln Thanksgiving Day game, fell through. Officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad, over which the excursion train was to be run, refused to allow the train to be boarded. An insufficient number of ticket sales was the cause of the action.
The group was in possession of tickets purchased at the Howard University cashier's office. The reduced rate had been offered in the belief that at least 300 purchasers would be attracted. At $3,000 each, the necessary amount of $100 to move the train would have been netted. The Interstate Commerce Commission requires this amount of business for a railroad company seeking to run a special-rate train between states.
Several conferences were held between Professor Frank Coleman, chairman of the Howard University Board of Athletic Control, and Harry A. Karr, division passenger agent of the Pennsylvania Railroad, but no satisfactorily solution to the problem was reached. It was finally decided that an additional tax of $1.30 would have to be paid by each of the 210 ticket-holders before the train could be allowed to run. This was not forthcoming; many of the students in the crowd complaining that if they were required to pay this additional fee, they would be without money to cover other expenses of the trip.
Six buses of the Blue and Gray Sightseeing Lines were mustered into service by officials of the railroad company, who appeared equally as disappainted as the prospective excursionists. Many of the latter refused to travel by bus and demanded a refund of their money. When the last of the buses had left, there were still some who had not been accommodated. A proposed excursion sponsored by the Elder Men's Relief Association had fallen through the night before. The train, scheduled to leave at midnight, Wednesday, had only 81 ticket-holders. The responsibility for the disappointment of the 210 persons could not be laid to either of the two parties concerned. Howard University was acting as an agent in the purchase of a block of 300 tickets, and the railroad company was compelled to act as it did by law.

ST. CYPRIAN WINS OVER ANNAPOLIS
ANNAPOLIS, Md. — Lead by Fony Ford, who scored three touchdowns, the St. Cyprian A.C. football team completely outclassed the local Annapolis A.C. eleven here last Sunday afternoon by a score of 38-6.
The visiting star counted after beautiful broken-field runs of 20, 35 and 30 yards. A 45-yard pass from Dicky Ford to Captain Jimmy Ford paved the way for a fourth touchdown, and then Moses Ford travelled 35 yards to annex a six-pointer. The final touchdown was the result of a short line buck by Yates.
Bryan, Buck Barnett and L. Murray stood out for the home team. The former was responsible for the June Annapolis touchdown.

CAPITAL CITY LEAGUE
The Cosmopolitans made a clean sweep of their sgt with the Freedmen's Hospital team, pushing the latter down into fourth place. This match was expected to furnish some fancy pin-spilling, but both teams appeared to be a little below their usual form. Freedmen's had to resort to the use of a dummy in their line-up, one of the regulars failed to show up and the only substitute present was incapacitated.
The Franklins are on the rise. They are mauling more wood and are rising in the "games won" column. Ask the Elites. The Franklins took them for a 3 to 1 count and tied them for second place.
Two teams, Navy Yard and Liberty Loan, have apparently dropped out of the league. Other teams may be taken in to fill their places.

CHOCOLATE KAYO'D FOR FIRST TIME IN CAREER
Cuban Youngster Meets Disaster as He Steps Out of Weight Division
NEW YORK—Stepping out of his weight class, Kid Chocolate, featherweight champion of the world, met his first knockout defeat of an 11-year boxing career in the second round of a scheduled 10-round bout at Madison Square Garden, last Friday night. Tony Canzoner, former lightweight title-holder was the little Cuban boxer's conqueror. The end came 2 minutes and 30 seconds after the start of the round. Canzoner prepared Chocolate for the kill with a series of telling body punches which the lighter boy could not shake off as he had numerous other fights with more than 200 adversaries. Fighting back instinctively the little colored by refused to take his guard down for the full time from the start of the stanza.
For two minutes, the Kid, obviously hurt, stood accepting the pounding without so much as flinching. But the inevitable had to happen. The wily legs which had carried him to safety in so many other similarly precarious prelatticisms, refused to respond with the catlike agility which marked Chocolate's ring battles.
As he sought to cover, Chocolate's arms dropped. Canzonese waiting for just this moment, stepped in and sent a crashing right hand into the unprotected chin. The game little Negro sank to the caivas, a badly beaten man.
Young Peter Jackson Win in Defense of Title
LOS ANGELES, Calif.—(ANP)
From the time he climbed into the ring clad in a gaudy blue and white bathrobe as the fans tried to outdo the colored fans with rousing cheers and greetings for him, young Peter Jackson was a herb of the occasion last Tuesday night at Olympic auditorium, in his return match with Bobby Pacho, after having handed him one of the most sensational knockouts several months ago that was ever seen in an Olympic ring.
The coast lightweight champion again proved himself superior by giving the Mexican boy a thorough shellacking. He showed that he could probably have repeated the knockout i' he had chosen to extend himself. This was sensed by fans throughout the audience who marvelled at his lightening left, his marvellous speed, footwork, and many expressions were heard such as "He can knock him out when ever he wants to." Joe Gans, or the original Peter Jäckson never showed a faster left or more terrific right than Peter did from the first bell of the first round until the last clang of the gong in the tenth.

BORDENTOWN, N.J.—The 20-year-old rivalry between Bordentown Manual Training School and Cheyney Normal School produced its annual thriller here this afternoon, with Bordentown downing Cheyney, 19-13, in a fast game closely packed with thrills. The Wildcats thus gained revenge for defeats in two successive years at the hands of their Pennsylvania opponents, and also stayed in the race for the Middle Atlantic title. Coach Watson's charges showed the best attack they have uncovered thus far this year, with Quarterback Mitchell picking his plays craftily for Byrd and himself to gain on spectacular runs, while Redmund, Marquess, and Robinson were immovable on line defense. Cheyney's big threat, Milt Browne, was slowed up by injury in the first quarter, leaving Hunt and Tiny Forman to carry the brunt of attack.

Just a Little Football
When our foot-ball season's over,
We'll all feel kind o' lost.
Just like a delicate bit of clover
In a frozen field of frost.
Every one is tackling, running.
We care not for burns nor spills;
Dashing, running, jumping, skidding.
Ah, these golden foot-ball thrills.
I can see the enemy sliding.
Into our trackside waiting there.
Do your stuff and stop your kidding.
Play it rough, but play it fair.
Every one is working, sweating.
But this work is only fun.
When you're finished, I'll be betting.
You'll be sorry that you're done.
Slowly, surely, time is changing.
Soon we must all change our ways.
But no matter where we're staying.
We'll recall those football days.

CRACK SOUTHERN TEAM TO APPEAR HERE SUNDAY
Black Twins, Winston-Salem's Title Aspirants, Play Wash. Yellow Jackets
One of the most impressive steps in local sandlot football was taken, early this week, when Doug Smith, erstwhile business man and promoter of sports cards, listed the crack Black Twins, of Winston-Salem, N.C., for a post-Thanksgiving game against the fast traveling Washington Yellow Jackets. The Twins will appear here, Sunday, when they meet the 'Jackets at Green Valley Park, Arlington, Va.
The North Carolinians come to the city with a record such as has never been brought to this city by a southern outfit. The Twins are recognized as champions of southern gridirons, and are looked upon as the stiffest competition that has been offered the local semi-pro eleven this season. The Yellowjackets, fresh from their victory over the highly touted Baltimore Royals, enter the game on an even basis with the visitors. They have won quite a following in this section, having accomplished notable records during the past several years they operated as the Pleasant Plains A.C. Washingtonians are looking forward to a nip-and-tuck battle.
The invaders, on the other hand, are just finishing a tour of the Atlantic coastline and are accepting the issue in the Capital on the return. They are expected to enter the game against the locals as decided favorites.

In keeping with his idea that a study of the lives of persons who have done great deeds was beneficial to students, Dean Staley spoke very eloquently on the "Life and Works of Lucy Lance," the founder and president of the Haines Institute of Savannah, Georgia, until her recent death.
Lucy Laney was born in Macon, Georgia, and attended Atlanta University. After graduation from that institution, she taught at Augusta, Ga., and it was while she was there that she caught the vision to aid her own people to fit themselves to live broader and more useful lives. Because of the great success of Haines Institute during a period of over thirty years and because of the very high esteem with which she was regarded by those whose lives she touched, Lucy Laney was amply repaid for the sacrifices she made in the cause of Negro Education. Haines Institute now boasts of an enrollment of 1,000 students and it is one of the outstanding institutions of its kind in the country.
staff includes Wade Caushy, editor in chief, Thomas O'Bryant, Rose Ann West, Thomas Pickett, and Lillian Gardner, associate editors. The business staff includes Harry Baker, business manager; Horace Robinson, circulation manager, and Paul Scott, assistant circulation manager. Reporters are Pierre Davis, Lena Meachum, Shirley Tibbs, Mae I'illet, Mary Jones, Evelyn Taylor, Naomi Tolliver, Francis Wedge, Norma Ballard, and Adelaide Wade. Miss E. M. Dyson is chairman of the faculty committee, serving the staff in an advisory capacity.

The Bison outplayed the Pennsylvania machine in every department of the game. Save two short intervals following breaks of the game, the ball was in Lincoln territory throughout. Once, in the third period, the Lions started a march downfield. With Jackson and Penn alternating in the ball-carrying, the Orange and Blue cohorts moved deep into the Bison horts moved deep into the Bison

Sawell hit the 25-yard mark. The latter received on his 20-yard merger and advanced the ball to the 25. Johnson got 2 yards at left end. Again the Lincoln 58-yard back was called on the 25-yard mark. Holtman recovering for Howard on the Lion 20-yard strip.
Ware cut 8 yards at right guard and
Sewell made a first down by adding 8
more just inside the line and awarded Ware's fumble
on the next play. Johnson silled through
his right tackle for 4 yards. Again he
fumbled as he was called to crush the
same bounded ball. Johnson covered himself and averaged
the danger of the resultant miscue. Johnson
kicked to Ware on the later's 34-yard line.
Sewell cut 5 yards at center. Ware punted
outside the line and charged. Johnson lost 2 yards on a
thrust at the right flank of the Bison line
and then punted. Ware, receiving in mid-field, returned to the Linebacker 44-yard line, where he was dropped by Toutley and
Ware. Ware was stopped cold on an attempted
catch at the center of the line. A pass to
Sewell was incomplete. Ware punted. The ball
bounded out of bounds on the Orange and

After Sewell had passed off 4 yards through the skim off guard, Ware was thwarted on a thrust at the Lincoln off tack, and then Sewell shpgged me up through his own right tack. I moved 2 yards on his left tack. Ware added 1 off tack and Sewell travelled the remaining distance for the second successive first down.
A Lincoln sonic rafter out in typical Lincoln spirit as her team captain called time.
Oware, in a beautiful exhibition of line plunging and repressing his field, totaled the bal 14 yards over his own last tkts: to the Lion 15-yard marker. A apinser and delayed buck. Lion's envoy on the ball on the Orange and Blut 11-yard ribbon. Holmman's 7 yards on a drive through the midsection of the line, and Were's 4 yards over the Lion's ground line. Were's 4 yards placed placement. Score: Howard, 6; Lincoln, 0. Prun took Seward's kielch and returned to the Lincoln 29-yard line before being down. Penn kicked to Were, the latter with his own 25-yard line as the outrage rattles.
SECOND QUARTER
SECOND QUARTER
After Stuart's death, he was on a thrust at church, and he was 16 years old, pretty for baptism. He pointed from his own cool line, the columning weave to midfield where MacArthur and Gallier do stand. MacArthur and Gallier stood on the same sideline, 22 yrs in front around left end and 22 yrs in front around left end with unfinished if Lincoln was cannulated the yards for illegal use of the hands on offence.
He took Paul's priestly point of the game on his own 25 end and retreated the ball on his 35-grade side. Lincoln gave out 6-bounds. Hilliard made 19 yards on a shot of his 25 right end. Soell, who accounted for 15 yards, continued 5 yards for one line. The net result was a 2-yard loss for the Blooms. A stance was 1 for 1. Wade hit his sought to touch the center of the line, and on his 25 right end he touched the ball, elicited it to 1 for the foul line where it was on the 5' line and White's players. Perrin's poor kick from behind his goal was on the line on the line. This point for Holmeman, entitled 2 more at right end. Wade added 2 more at 15' ground. Words were to MacArthur was searched out of the kit by Coleman, who ran from the sideline to the line. The Lincoln was received the
Penn furnished and the ball bound back to his 12-yard line, but fortunately they recovered. Again Penn kicked back. How did he recover? Were on a triple pass, got 7 yards right end. On a similar play, with Sewell as the intended ball carrier, a fumor refuted an intended cobble receive. Jingjing refuted 8 off the ball. The ball and elected to keen possession of the ball. After Coffman had gotten a yard at center, Gitter broke through to a propelled cross and delivered back. For all his success, this time the ball went into the stands after hard left the obstacle field at the back. Howard was punished twice for offside on player in the third. Peld child in 12-yard penalty for holding. Lincoln was penalized 2 yards for being offside. A person hurdled. Sewell curled. Coleman intercepted Ware's pass, but was immediately deprived.
Johnson was stopped without gain as Oxy boxed the interferences on an attempt ring of his end and mailed his man After Johnson's pass to Poinn and gave him the team was penalized 5 yards for off-side play. Stone, Howard, & Iafonov, 6.
THIRD QUARTER
Robinson kicked off, Johnson received and was down on the 30-yard line. Sowell met an innominate object as he sought to pierce the center of the line. Ware made the pass and Johnson was sent off at left tackle. Hollowman valued 2 yards at right and left before his team was penalized 8 for off-side play. Ware 8. The half buttle hit on Linfountin 55 yard out.
Johnson literally shot through a hole just inside right tackle for a 19-yard gain. Penn got 5 at 5, Jackson 3 at 8 right tackle, and Jackson got 5 more as center fielder. Hollowman threw through, could
sion when the Pennsylvania quarterback elected to change his tactics and pass. The toss was intercepted by Sewell and the visitors succeeded in moving out of danger. The second occasion resulted in the Lincoln touchdown. It came late in the final quarter, after two successive blocks, of intended punts by Barry Williams. The first kick bounded back within the shadow of the Blue and White goal posts, only to be retrieved by Bish Hart, who proved to be Howard's saviour for the moment. On the next play, however, Toby Robeson, 235-pound tackle, snatched the oval as it caromed off the tee of Williams and drove over for the touchdown.
From that point on it was a full-fledged battle. Julie Martin's boys strove vainly to put over a tying six-pointer. Forward passes were flung high, wide and handseme in an effort to negotiate the distance to the goal line. And Verdell's boys, admittedly weak against acerial play, fought equally as hard to retain the lead. A touchdown and successful extra point try would snatch victory from the Washingtonians.
And so closed the football seasons of the two teams which occupy the spotlight of Eastern gridirons year in and year out without regard to the class of football they play during the seasons. Neither: Howard, the winner of this contest, nor Lineolin, the loser, gained nor lost any prestige as a result of the affair.
well, Penn, not to be denied, made 5 yards at left guard, but on the next play at pass was called, and Johnson's leave was extended. He was downed to the Blazer and White 27-yard line before he was downed. Sewell got 62 yards on a next reverse of his 56-foot after sliding through the Iliquids left tackle. Candler and Johnson and White 27-yard line and both were removed from the game by their respective coeches.
He failed to gain as he lost his footing on a run of his right end. A 5-yard off-side penalty was imposed on Howard, who earned to be having trouble squivelling this gain of the ball. Sewell lost his footing on a run of his right end. Intended punches through right end. Howard was paralyzed 15 yards for illusional use of the hands. Were Hickok, Cohen receiving, was downed on his own 28-yard
Clark, substitutes for Johnson, not 1 yard at right foul. As Paint punched, Hoyer was punched up 15 yards for rounding the keeper. Colman, on a cross line, pitched 9.48 yards at right foul and Paint ridden at left foul. Penn's 11-yard punt went outlits on the left shoulder. An attempted left-half failed when Ware fumbled. Ware failed to gain as captain. But this same player was the pitcher. Penn received Ware's punt and returned it from his 18 to 18 pitched at foul. A Penn, to Colman, was inimpossible on the second end. Ended. Hoyer, 6, Linford, 0.
FOURTH QUARTER
A series of unsuccessful line plays last month for the position of the Lilac for Holloway. After Holloway had been stopped without gals, Howard was penalized for holding 19 yards. A bait to the Lilac for Hope Howard was penalized for holding 19 yards on the Lilac 22-yard strip. Penn foolishly trampled a pass on the first play from dog in his own touchline, show the bell into the waitful arms of Holloway, who trapped 38 yards to a touchdown for theylvist. Ware's place kick went securely between the uprights. Score, Howard, 17. I lined in. Ward took. Savell's kick-off and returned to his own 38-yard ribbon. Smithley's pass to over the shortest yard was over the 38-yard ribbon and the ball to the Howard 29-yardribbon. After Porter bird failed on an estimated 38-yard hit, the pass was tried again. This time it was incomplete. A second bird pulled down and Lilac was beaten 5 yards. Again Smithley beaten on a nail.

Local Eastern Board Officials Disposed of On Grounds of Howard Connections; To Be Paid for Services Nevertheless Reports that the Lincoln University Board of Athletic Control had acceded to the demands of a dissatisfied alumni group by removing Charles L. Pinderhughes, coach of the Dunbar High School football team, and a member of the Eastern Board of Football Officials, from the position as referee of the Howard-Lincoln game, were confirmed late this week. Edwin B. Henderson, head of the Department of Physical Education in the local high schools, was named in Pinderhughes's stead
According to the story as related to the Tribune, Pindherhughes was first advised of the dissatisfaction of the Lincoln authorities over the naming of him as the referee for the "classic" after the Lincoln-A. and T. game, several weeks ago. Schedules of the Colosed Interlegiate Athletie Association, of which both Howard and Lincoln are members, had been released since early in the season. These schedules listed Pindherhughes, as the official in charge of that game. Until Tuesday of this week, however, no official word had come to Pindherhughes as to the proposed change of officials. A telephone call from the Pennsylvania school, put Pindherhughes in communication with T. F. Jamison, an official of the graduate body. The latter requested that the Dunbar teacher "gracefully withdraw" from the referee's role.
To be Fired Anyhow
After having been assured that he would be fired despite any unwillingness on his part to voluntarily resign as reeferee, Pinderhughes stated that he would give up.
A letter from Lincoln indicated that the objection to Pinderhughes was based on the fact that he is a graduate of Howard and a former Bison football captain. Henderson, likewise, is a former Howard man. He has, however, served in

The newly appointed referee will be called upon to make a hurried trip to Atlantic City from Baltimore, where he is working as referee in the game between Michigan and Virginia State. Thanksgiving afternoon. When told that he might not be able to make the time, Lincoln authorities stated that they would "hold up the game" until he got there.
This did not settle well with Howard officials who are planning to make a trip to Florida on a train which leaves Atlantic City shortly after the game with Lincoln is closed. Thay, however, refused to offer any serious resistance to the plan.
Pinderhughes, meanwhile, was left without a Thanksgiving assignment.
COVERING THE BOWLING WORLD
BY JACK WILLIAMS
Hello everyone! Again I bring good news to the local bowling fans. The Victors went to Baltimore Sunday and brought home the bacon once more.
This match rolled last Sunday in the Monumental City, was the last block of a home-and-hops set-to consisting of ten games. We know the winners, the Victors, of course.
The boys from the District were offered very little opposition, for their total number of 285 points adding 57 points to their previous lead of 208.
The outstanding feats of the matches were the high game of Joe Beard (Victor's) 150, and the high set (four games) also won by Joe Beard. 306.
Other highlights of the game were: high game, Cooper (Ball, B.C.) 130, and high set, Cooper, 577.
Cooper has proved himself to be a real appleton, for he knows how to cut bells. One incident was in the last game. Heying picked out pins one and five on his first shot, he nailed number three, sliding it over to the left, thus removing pins 2, 4, 7, also, 6, 8, 9 and 10. Baltimore's bowlers were exponents of curves in all their glory, with the exception of "Mouse" Murray and Haider.
On the drives in Baltimore, it is necessary to have a good curve control because the alarms are faster, but on the Masonic Temple drives, the alarms are slower and a straight ball is at its best.

With ANDY ANDERSON
The new horizon for the weekend ends shows "Footlight Parade" looming big on the Ninth Street sector. Other houses than the Raphael, which is showing this film, also have fine offerings for the menu.
Last week carried what I term the finest of the current stage entertainment at both of the houses catering to such shows.
At the Lincoln a dashing little bit of dynamite made her initial appearance on the American stage. Miss Betty Rowland, daughter of George Rowland, one of the finer old-time stage characters, and this young lady proceeded to smash her way into the hearts of the large crowds which saw her perform. With vitality and abundant reserve energy reflected in her every motion she was a sensation. The reports sent ahead that she was a possible rival to Jo Baker are well founded.
On the same bill we had the pleasure of laying eyes on another fine performer, Lethia Hill, in a spot other than the Cotton Club, and we were well satisfied with the brand of work shown by Miss Hill for her D.C. fans. 'Twould be well to have her back again. On this same bill was still another character who was a favorite with us; young Mister Willie Bryant, of the slender body, but who was in every blooming bit of action which took place on the stage, in his role as M.C. Crackshot Hackley and Chunk Robinson furnished the comic antics. By the way, the former is the hubby of Deris Rheubottom, in case you didn't know, and between them they own a swelegant ect shop in Newark, N.J.

John Henry—himself—is the current Lincoln feature—supported ably by Shelton Brooks—the Four Barons, songsters of "Strike Me Pink," and a cast of 50. The presentation of Mr. Hernandez comes in elaborate settings, with decidedly novel effects. The chorus of dancing beauties performs some neat dance executions.
Down on Tea Street, the Stiefels were also handing us a good show, featured by the clever Bea Foote, and her house-warming singing. Miss Foote is one of those very versatile singers who can both sing and dance, and do both well. With the Jimmy Lunceford band on the stage, the show was well balanced, for young Tommy Stevens again made the hearts of Louie Armstrong's fans go pitpat, with his high—yea, very high—B flats. The Ristina Banks chorus did the hoofing. Jones and Wilson were the clowns.
The presence of dynamic Myra Johnson of the Howard bill adds a zest such as only Myra Johnson can impart. Your Man is strong for this girl. The Three Palmer Bros, and their sweet harmony are with us again, with the "Three Drifters" doing the dance taps. "Garbage" Rodgers, the mimic comedian, furnishes all the necessary laughs—in this A- program

BROADWAY OFFERS
DUKE ELLINGTON
IN A SHORT
On Sunday and Monday, December 3-4, the Broadway Theatre management will bring to the screen, Duke Ellington, featuring his latest musical success, "A Bundle of Blues." Mr. Ellington, whom Washingtonians are proud to acknowledge as one of their native sons, has not only made a name for himself as a radio entertainer in America, but was acclaimed on his recent tour of Europe, as one of the foremost modern musicians, in the world.
During his stay abroad, he enjoyed the distinction of rendering music for the Royal Family of England. He is also numbered among the well known composers of modern music, and has given to the public a number of unusual compositions, among which are numbered "Mood Indigo," "Black and Tan," and "Sophisticated Lady." The featured picture for Sunday and Monday, will be "Laughing at Life," featuring Victor McLaglen.
The high paid radio jokesters give people free tickets to their broadcasts so that the fans out in the ether will know that someone is laughing at the jokes, even if the fans aren't.

With the advent of the new musical cycle on the screen, the foremost producers of such shows of which "Footlight Parade" is an outstanding example, may well be termed the "Ziegfelds" of the motion picture world. Certainly no other producer has been able to turn out any musical picture that can compare with "42nd Street" or "Gold Diggers of 1933."
These production numbers are supplied with music by two teams of song writers, one of them Harry Warren and Al Dubin, the oth-

CLARENCE MUSE STARS IN NEW PICTURE WITH RICHARD BARTHELMESS
HOLLYWOOD, Calif.—(ANP)—Clarence Muse, who has set a record here by appearing in some fifty pictures during the space of eighteen months, has just finished the sequences in one of the most important roles in his career. He is appearing with Richard Barthleimess in "The Massacre," super production by Warner Brothers. The picture portrays the many injustices practiced upon the American Indian by the government agents and features an Indian whose name is Thunder Horse, played by Barthleimess. The action begins in a wild west show at the World's Fair. Muse is his valet; but when the young chieftain returns to the reservation to look after the interests of his dying father, Clarence Muse, known as "Sam" accompanies him, becomes his pal and confidant and remains by his side through many stirring episodes.
The two present a fine tie-up, the American Indian and American Negro fighting for justice. Barthleemess who is one of the leading character artists in the film colony is thoroughly social minded and at all times has had a thorough appreciation of the Negro. Muse's friends regard his work in "The Massacre" as one of his best roles.

TO TELL OF JOHN HENRY IN MUSIC
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — They have written stories and N.C. and sung folk songs about "John Henry" and now the cycle is complete with a symphonic ballad based on the doings of the Negroes' mythical hero and strong man.
The work was done by Lamar Stringfield, Southern composer and musician, and will be included in the winter repertoire of the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, which he conducts.
Casting about for a folk epic as the background for music typically Southern, the composer decided upon the life and herculean deeds of the Mississippi Valley giant whose "hands were big as hams," who toted cotton bales like other men toted sacks of flour.
Beore jotting down a single note Stringfield spent several months studying the legends of "John Henry," regarded by some as having been of flesh and blood, by others as the fictitious creation of imaginative Negroes bent on having a racial superman.

443 NEGROES,44 WHITES LYNGHED IN US SINCE 1919
(Continued from page 1)
702 white persons have been lynched, including 11 white women.
For the same period 3,472 colored men and 50 colored women were lynched.
Since 1919 mobs have lynched 443 Negroes, including six colored women, and 44 whites. In one year, 1929, four whites were lynched out of a total of 12 for the year.
25 Lynched in 1933
The association's tabulation shows 25 lynchings thus far in 1933.
"The lynchings this year more than in any recent year, demonstrate the utter futility of depending upon local or state officials to stamp out mob violence," said Walter White, N.A.A.C.P., secretary. "The most amazing and menacing attitude, of course, has been expressed by Governor Robp, who goes down in history as the first American governor to openly ablicate to mob rule. We are asking each of our thirteen branches in California to demand his impeachment.
Anti-Lunching Law
"Our association's legal committee is now drafting a federal antitrust law for introduction as soon as Congress convenes in January. If the federal government can act against kidnapping and racketeering it ought to be able to act against mob violence. We are convinced that only federal machinery and federal officials, uninfluenced by local sentiment, can cone with lynching."

FOUR MURDERS IN THREE DAYS KEEP POLICE ON JUMP
Grand Jury Gets Three Cases as Suspect is Sought
Four murders, including three men who were stabbed to death and another who was fatally shot followed an aftermath of rows throughout the city which terminated in tragedies within the short span of three days.
As a result, a woman and two men have been held for the action of the grand jury and police are seeking a fourth suspected slayer.
The first slaying probed was that of Henry L. Estep, 37, of 485 Culinane Court, Southwest, who was stabbed through the heart, on Thursday night. Miss Catherine Bowen, of 485% Culinane Court, Southwest, was held by a jury reviewing the case before Dr. A. M. MacDonald, Saturday morning.
Only One Sees Knife
According to the testimony of witnesses, a number of persons were in the premises at 485 Culinane Court, when Miss Bowen is said to have entered and engaged in an argument with Estep, over some statement he made about her and her boy friend. Only one, however, Miss Ellen Witerspoon, declared she saw a knife in th hands of Miss Bowen.
Attorney Nathan Dobbins, who defended Miss Bowen, questioned witnesses closely as to the number of persons in the room at the time of the fatality, and also sought to bring out that Estep had a poor police record. The autopsy revealed that the blow which penetrated Estep's lung and heart had been delivered with great force. Miss Bowen is somewhat frail.
Others who testified were: William Braxton, of 485 Culinane Court; Hobart Hall, 485 Culinane Court; Robert Banks, 37 Eighth Street, Southwest; William R. Bowen, 1014 Casey Court, father of the accused woman; who testified that Estep and his daughter had had some words; Gladys Bowen, 1014 Casey Court, sister; Sadie Herbert, of 706 Faves Court

REAL HARLEM TO BE
PICTURED OVER NBC Harlem, largest Nego city in the world, will be pictured as it actually is, without the thrills and glamor attached to it by imaginative writers, in a dramatized presentation over an NBC-WJZ network next Saturday evening. The material for the play will be taken from the experience and observations of John B. Kennedy, well known writer, newspaperman and magazine editor, who will appear in the program as the narrator. Kennedy, a realist who pictures life as it really is lived, will lead his air audience into the police court, pool rooms, markets, restaurants and homes in Harlem, and NBC actors, many of them Negroes, will portray the happiness and sorrow, comedy, intrigue and troubles which these people know.
Part of the broadcast, which will
be heard from 10:00 to 11:00 p.m.
will come from the heart of the
big Negro section of New York
City.

Harlem Nazi Physician Resigns After Protest
NEW YORK—(ANP)—Dr. Ignaz T. Grieb, who won notoriety recently through his public espousal of Nazi principles and declaration of Nordic superiority, resigned from the staff of Harlem Hospital this week, after a delegation of professional men had called at the office of the City Department of Hospitals to ask his dismissal. Harlem Hospital, operated by the city has both Jews and Negroes as members of its staff. Its patients are made of both these races as well as other nationalities. Both the Negroes and Jews resented Dr. Grieb's attitude and pointed out that he was disqualified by reason of his views for his position as assistant clinical surgeon, dealing with varicose veins. Dr. Grieb was an intimate of Heinz Spannoble who recently sought to organize a branch of Hitler's Nazis in New York.
nade is now from 10:45 to 11:15 p.m. on Thursday night over WABC and the Columbia chain. Alda Ward's selections for December 7 will be "Way Up North in Southland" and "Can This Be the End of Love?"

The nation-wide debate on President Roosevelt's currency policy, opposition to Grau San Martin's Government in Cuba, a nudist wedding in California and Governor James Rolph's views on lynching will be among the highlights to be dramatized for the "March of Time" over a coast to-coast WABC-Columbia network on Friday, December 1, from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Other re-enactments will deal with -Chicago's Wynkeoop case, Lee Tracy's adventures in Mexico, the conclusion of the Huey Long investigation, the renewed Franco-German parleys and America's preparations for the official termination of the repeal era.
The entire student body of Hampton Institute went "on the air" last evening at the regular Sunday evening services in Ogden Hall. A fifteen minute broadcast of the singing of the spirituals, famous throughout the world and the climax of many visitors' stay at Hampton Institute, was sent over the air as the first regular series of Sunday evening broadcasts.

Unconfirmed Reports Hold Negro Removed From Grave by Mob
Reports that the grave of George Armwood, victim of a Princess Anne lynch mob on October 23, had been opened and the body of the Negro removed had not been confirmed up to a late hour Wednesday night. Fresh dirt on the grave of Armwood led to the belief that a frenzied group of Princess Anne residents had taken the body from the Poor Farm resting place, during Tuesday's disturbances.
Steve Hopkins (white) superintendent of the farm on which Armwood was intered, told the Tribune that although the grave showed signs of having been "tampered with" there was no confirmation of the rumor that Armwood's body had been removed and his head sent to Governor Ritchie.
PREPARATIONS GO ON FOR CRAWFORD PROSECUTION
PREPARATIONS GO ON FOR CRAWFORD PROSECUTION
State Enlists Legislator's Aid; Houston Continuing Fight Against "Lily-White" Jury
LEESEURG, Va.—The aid of State Senator Cecil Connor has been sought by the prosecution in its case against George Crawford, accused of the murder of Mrs. Agnes Boeing Isley (white), Middleburg, Va., recluse, when the trial is begun on December 12. Commonwealth's Attorney Galleher and Captain Frank Wray, Commonwealth's Attorney of Clarke County, will be in charge of the government's case.
Jury Commissioners, in preparation for the trial, have supplemented the original list with the names of qualified persons sufficient to bring the total to 300, as required by law. This was insisted upon by Charles H. Houston, Washington, D.C., lawyer, who heads the defense counsel. Connor, who has appeared in several murder trials, resigned the Commonwealth's attorneyship to take his seat in the State Senate. It is understood services of an additional lawyer to aid in the prosecution of Crawford were deemed advisable in view of the likelihood that Galleher early in the trial will be called to the stand as a witness for the State. Thirty-one witnesses are to be called by the defense, according to present plans of Crawford's lawyers.
Among these are the judge of the Loudoun County Circuit Court. J. R. H. Alexander; the clerk, E. O. Russell; sheiff, E. S. Adrian; eight jury commissioners, C. A. Whaley. John W. Thompson, S. Preston Luck, W. H. Frazier, V. B. Harding, C. Shirley Carter, G. Hampton Virtis and A. P. McGeath, and 20 Negro witnesses.
The question of exclusion of qualified Negroes from trial juries solely on grounds of race will be brought up by the defense.

MOB SEIZES
LYNCHES
MO. NEGRO
Seven Thousand Storm Jail to Take 19-Year-Old Alleged Attacker
ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—With the announcement by Judge J. V. Gaddy that a thorough grand jury investigation would be started next week, this city sat back and awaited results following the seizure and lynching of Lloyd Warner, 19-year-old colored boy accused of attacking two white women, from the Buchanan County jail here. Tuesday midnight. The lynching was perpetrated by a mob of 7,000 men, women and children. Warner was hanged to an elm tree near the courthouse, drenched with gasoline and set afire. Women and children watched him die. Some were friends of the white girl of 21, who, officers said, Warner assaulted in an alleyway here Sunday night.
"String him up," shouted from many throats, drowned out the last attempt of the muscular young Negro to speak.
Terror-stricken and stripped from the waist, he was pulled from a third-floor cell by four young members of the mob, beaten, kicked and cursed.
Tear-gas fumes, remnant of the defense of 40 city and county officers and the hastily mobilized members of the 35th Tank Company, Missouri National Guard, floated on the stairway down which the Negro was dragged to death.
Gov. Park declined to comment on the lynching.
The jail wrecked last night three years ago withstood the assault of a mob seeking Raymond Gunn, colored, accused of the brutal slaying of Velma Colter, a young Mary-ville, Mo., school teacher.
A few days later, however, Gunn was seized by a crowd on his way from jail to court at Maryville. He was taken to the frame school house where Miss Colter was slain, chained to the roof and burned with the building.
Sheriff Teisen admitted that his deputies were "looking for the owners of two red trucks" who took a leading part in the execution.
The lynching of Warner followed closely the similar mob execution of the two kidnappers and killers of Brooke Hart, 22, at San Jose, Cal., last Sunday.

TEACHER LOSES $2,785 VERDICT IN LOCAL COURT
Denying Debt, Teacher Claims $1,000 Was Too Much for $3,000 Loan
A verdict for $2,650 against Roscoe C. Orme, public school teacher, and his wife, Mrs. Amy B. Orme, of 1131 Girard Street, Northwest, was turned in by a jury in Circuit favoring Herman Bocorselski, white Court No. 1, before Chief Justice Wheat, last week.
Bocorselski filed suit against the Ormes on April 18. He alleged that the couple were indebted to him for $2,785.40, an unpaid balance on a promissory note made in 1926 for $4,000, and secured by a deed of trust on certain property.
Through their attorneys, Howard and Hayes, the Ormes denied the debt claiming that they had borrowed only $3,000, and that the $1,000 charge was usurious. They also contended that sale of the property by Robert Highfield and William Baum, trustees, the proceeds being applied to the loan, brought satisfaction of the indebtedness. Bocorselski was represented by W. Gwynn Gardner.
Virginia Union in Unemployment Drive
RICHMOND, Va.—The Student Employment Bureau at Virginia Union University recently handled twenty-four calls for waiters, salesmen, and general delivery messengers in one day.

Until this year, Virginia Union has relied almost solely upon the "natural" calls received for her students to do regular parttime work and odd jobs. This year, a definite committee was set up in the university to aid those students to find work who have the desire to attend school and who can do so with little aid.
