Waters Allege Character Defamati by New York Schoo LETTERS HINT AT NIGHT CLUB LIFE Says He Would not Study and that He Slept in Classes During Day NEW YORK (ANP)—James C. Waters, formerly of the Howard University Law School, filed suit this week in the Supreme Court of New York County against Columbia University, Charles C. Williamson, director of libraries and dean of the School of Library Service of Columbia University, in the sum of $100,000. Professor Waters claimed in his suit that false and defamatory matter had been published against him by the defendants. Professor Waters, who was secretary of the Howard Law School and a professor of law since 1912, was dismissed from the faculty in 1932, after having been sent to Columbia University to pursue a course in library work. The suit filed this week is the outgrowth of letters alleged written while he was a student there. Called Wastrel In his declaration, which was filed by his attorney, Francis A. McCurk, white, of New York, he alleges that on November 4 and 6, 1931, "the defendants maliciously wrote, composed and published of and concerning plaintiff the false and defamatory matters charging that defendants meant and intended to mean that plaintiff was a liar, a wastel and spent his time in the evening in restaurants and other places of entertainment in that part of New York known as Harlem and in the pursuit of Harlem night life." The declaration further alleges "that the plaintiff has been injured in his reputation professional and standing in the community where he lives and practices his profession."

GIRL TRAFFIC SNARES MAIDS Colored Girls Forced Into White Slavery by Hotel Operator LOS ANGELES, Calif.

Fricke this week. Testimony at the two-day preliminary hearing by three young white women indicated the defendants had worked with "procurers" who enticed Los Angeles girls to Baskerfield and Pismo Beach resorts for immoral purposes. One of the witnesses declared that a man, now sought on pandering charges, had taken her to Baskerfield end, threatening her with a revolver, forced her to submit to twenty Filipinos. The maids are said to have been employed in the hotel run by Mrs. Lekoy and made strong pleas for reduction of bail which was denied them. Municipal Judge A. E. Paonessa branded the crime of which they stand accused as "most heninous in nature and most nefarious in practice." The installation of the Rev. Arthur Chichester as the pastor of the St. Luke Baptist Church, Fourteenth Street and Rock Creek Federal Road, was held at the church last week. The services were conducted by the Washington Baptist Minister's Conference, the Rev. Robert Anderson presiding. A very practical and interesting installation sermon was preached by the Rev. E. C. Smith, of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. The rest of the service consisted of literary and musical numbers rendered by various members of the conference and the church.

Washington Tribune MORE WARRANTS ARE PROMISED IN LYNCHING OF BOY Man Who Poured Gasoline on Body of Youth is Being Held ST. JOSEPH, Mo.—William O. Sawyers, an assistant attorney general, says the man is in custody who poured gasoline on the body of Lloyd Warner, 10-year-old youth, hanged and burned a week ago by a mob. Pursuing vigorously an investigation of the lynching of the alleged confessed attacker of a white girl, Sawyers said warrants probably would be issued today for the arrest of at least two of four men questioned last night. No names were disclosed pending filing of charges. Two Are in Custody Two other men also are in custody. One is Carl Fisher, who has pleaded guilty to possession of a pistol belonging to Sheriff Otto Theisen, which was stolen from the sheriff's living quarters in the three-hour battle while the mob was trying to break into the jail November 28. Fisher told authorities a bog gave him the pistol. He said he was near the jail about the time of the lynching, but denied participating. Sentence has been deferred. Police said Fisher named Walter Garton, 43, as having been one of the mob leaders, but Garton denied participation in the attack or lynching. However, Garton was charged with malicious destruction in connection with the damage done to the sheriff's living quarters and the jail, was arraigned, pleaded not guilty and was remanded to jail in default of $1,000 bond.

The committee was headed by Major Campbell C. Johnson, executive secretary of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., and the following: M. Frank Thorne, representing the New Negro Alliance; William E. Taylor, of the Howard University School of Law; Eugene Davidson, representing the Associated Negro Press; George Murphy, of the Afro-American; and Garland Mackey, of The Washington Tribune. The plan to discriminate against Negroes in so-called white collar jobs was discolor following a whit to the office of David Ruml, in charge of the C.W.A. agency at 480 Indiana Avenue. Ruml stated that his office only send colored clerical workers to jobs when color was specified on the requisition. He further stated that out of some 1,500, persons sent to various government departments this week all had been white. He said that when color was not designated it was generally taken for granted that white was wanted. The jim crow set-up in distributing C.W.A. jobs was called to the attention of Clark Foreman, white special advisor to Secretary of Interior Harold Ickes, on Negro affairs, Monday, who promised an immediate investigation. Mr. Foreman stated that the matter had already been brought to the attention of the Secretary, Tuesday, and a letter setting forth the jim crow set-up of the office of Rumil was also forwarded to Mr. Foreman, who promised to further discuss the whole situation with Secretary Ickes. Captain Howard F. Clark, chairman of the work planning committee of the C.W.A. for the District of Columbia, stated that 90 per cent of the unskilled labor jobs went to Negroes and they ought to be satisfied. He also suggest that the committee outlined certain projects where colored may be employed in clerical positions. After a meeting the committee decided not to follow this procedure as it would lead to further jim crow and disarm.

Examination of the list of those chosen for jury service disclosed that the names of no colored men were drawn. The selection of colored men for jury duty was a source of contention in the preliminary proceedings by counsel for Crawford. Crawford's counsel attacked the failure to have colored representation on the grand jury which indicted lawsuits for the murder of the two women and sought to have the case thrown out of court, but their efforts were futile. Mrs. Hesley and her maid were found shin in the former's home on January 13, 1922. The names of the men who comprise the Crawford panel were drawn by the clerk of court, Saturday from a box containing the names of 300 men. The drawing was made before the Jury Commission in the presence of Judge J. R. H. Alexander, of the Circuit Court, and a citizen who was pressed into service as a witness to the procedure. Protest to Mrs. Roosevelt On Village Barring Negroes NEW YORK-A protest against the barring of Negro miners and their families from the new mbd-el town being erected by the federal government near Morgantown W. Va., was telegraphed to Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt last Friday by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Mrs. Roosevelt has been in terested personally in the project and recently visited the site and approved the housing plans and other arrangements. The Charleston, W. Vn., branch of the NAACP investigated and found the new colony was accepting "native born Americans, but not Negroes." The Morgantown colony is the first of the subsistence homeheads to be established by the government. The boys in the inland town can now see the schooners pass over the bar.

Stores this week following a picket of that number of stores by members of the New Negro Alliance. This brings the total of 18 clerks in A. and P. Stores to 18, according to members of the Alliance. The picket on the stores was resumed Friday morning when the Alliance stated that the company was not employing Negro clerks in sufficient numbers in stores largely patronized by members of the colored race. Pickets Withdrawn However, the pickets were withdrawn at noon on the same day when M. Zink, general superintendent of the A. and P. Stores in this district, announced that his company would comply with the demands of the Alliance. It was announced that stores at Fourteenth and R. Fourteenth and Wallach, Ninth and S. Fourteenth and W. Sixth and T and the store in the 2700 block of Eleventh Street would have an entire colored personnel including managers. However, Mr. Zink said that the present white clerks would be retained in these stores for the next few weeks. Three Stores Under Probe Three stores, Twentieth and M, Northwest; Sixty-first and Dix, Northeast, and Seventh and O, Northwest, are under investigation and there is a possibility that colored clerks would be included in the stores. The picket began Friday morning at 7 o'clock with th. following Alliance members carrying signs: Jesse W. Lewis, Clyde C. McDuffie, William H. Hastie, Edward A. Beaubian, and Belford V. Lawson, Jr. Young women members including Mae Thorne, Nellie Cheatham, Catherine Grey and Peggy Williston, were also pressed into service as sign bearers. Mr. Zink further expressed the desire to work in closer co-operation with the Alliance and suggested that a further conference be held with their representatives on December 8. A. that time the possibility of placing additional colored employees in stores will be discussed. Picketing High's Store The Alliance is still picketing High's Ice Cream store at Seventh and S Streets, Northwest. The manager of this store, which is in an exclusive Negro neighborhood, has refused to comply with the demands of the Alliance to employ colored clerks. The picket has been in progress for ten days.

Mrs. Bethel who is represented by Attorney Belford V. Lawson, claims that a bus owned by the company refused her passage from Salisbury, N.C. to Washington after she had purchased a ticket. Lynchings Flayed by Chief Executive in Passionate Address WHAT PRESIDENT SAID ON LYNCHING This new generation, for example, is not content with preachings against that vile form of collective murder—lynch law—which has broken out in our midst anew. We know that it is murder, and a deliberate and definite disobedience of the commandment, "Thou shalt not kill." We do not excuse those in high places or low who condone lynch law. But a thinking American goes further. It seeks a government of its own that will be sufficiently strong to protect the prisoner and at the same time to crystallize a public opinion so clear that government of all kinds will be certain justice. The judicial function of government is the protection of the individual and of the community through quick and certain justice. That function in many places has fallen into a state of despair. It must be a part of our program to re-establish it. THREE INDICTED IN VANISHING CASKET INCIDENT Undertaker's Helper and 2 Rivals are Connected With Theft James Jackson, 36, of the first block of M Street, Southwest, who was arrested several weeks ago when a casket which disappeared from the storerooms of his employer, John T. Rhines, undertaker, and then reappeared at a rival firm occupied by a corpse, was indicted by the District grand jury for grand larceny, Wednesday. John H. Williams, 25, and James Lowe, 35, of 301 M Street, Southwest, rival undertakers in whose establishment the stolen casket and the corpse were found, were indicted by the grand jury on a charge of receiving stolen property. After being notified of the theft, police were somewhat puzzled for several hours as to what to do with the corpse. It was given two rides in the Black Maria before finally being buried from the establishment of Eugene Ford, another undertaker, of 1300 South Capitol Street. The body was that of Robert Thompson, of 1709 Van Court Street, Southwest. C.W.A. MAKES NEGROES REGIS- TER IN HARLEM NEW YORK. — Bronx Negro workers are being sent to Harlem to register for jobs in the Civilian Conservation Corps. Only "white folks" are being registered at 500 Courtlandt Avenue, in the Bronx. Negro workers are informed after waiting on line several hours. The basis for the Civil Works jobs is thus being laid in open discrimination against Negro workers and is carried through by the administration.

Roosevelt openly assailed the governors of three states, which recently succeeded to the influence of the mob in a nation-wide hookup of the principal broadcasting units, last night (Wednesday). Although the Chief Executive named none of the three, Park, of Missouri; Richie, of Maryland; and Rolph, of California, pointed remarks plainly showed that they were the chief objects of his fury. Attacking the practice with characteristic Rooseveltian vehemence, the President told the country at large that one of the prime motives of his administration would be the ending of such activity as that which recently victimized 19-year-old Lloyd Warner, at St. Joseph, Mo.; George Armwood, at Princess Anne, Md.; and two white men at San Jose, California. Hits Governor Rolph, who publicly condoned the act of 15,000 men, women and children who, last week, seized and strung up the kidnappers and murderers of Brooke Hart (also white) bore the brunt of the President's criticism. Once he wound up his remarks with the sentence, "We cannot and do not excuse those in high places and in low who condone the lynch law." Addressing the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America, Roosevelt stated that the expectation of the new generation for governmental action in the protection of the individual and the community by quick and certain justice would not be in vain. The judicial function of the government is to prevent just such occurrences as these, he said, and primarily, the objective of his term would be toward that end. Called Murder "This generation," he said, "is not going to be content with mere preachings against that vile form of collective murder—lynch law—which has broken out in our midst. Nor is this administration going to tolerate it. We know that it is murder and a deliberate and definite disobedience of the commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill.'"

NEGROES BARRED FROM CLERICAL JOBS UNDER CWA NEGROES BARRED FROM CLERICAL JOBS UNDER CWA Jim Crow Policy Prevents Hiring of White Collar Unemployed (Continued from page 1) imation and after all it was not the duty of the committee to outline projects. Charges Buck Passing Jacob Baker, national administrator of the C.W.A., characterized the whole matter as a case of buck passing where colored persons were concerned. Despite the fact that District Commissioner Allen stated, according to newspaper reports, that clerical workers were being hired at the rate of 200 a day, none were colored, Ruml said. Ruml is also blamed for the jim crow registration on Indiana Avenue, John Marshall Place and Third Street. Colored unemployed applicants for jobs are made to leave the line in front of 480 Indiana Avenue and are sent to John Marshall Place or to 230 Third Street. The former address is for unskilled labor, while the latter is for skilled and clerical workers. A policeman is stationed at 480 Indiana Avenue and all colored persons are directed to leave the line. This has been the cause of few colored persons applying for jobs. The Tribune was the first paper to attempt to disclose the Jim crow arrangement and the barring of colored clerical workers. At that time Ruml stated that colored persons were not applying for white collar jobs. After publishing this fact over 400 colored persons have registered for jobs and none have been employed, according to Ruml. It was stated this week that six colored persons had been employed by the playgrounds, but a check-up failed to verify this fact. One colored worker, Miss Irene Ruff, industrial secretary of the Y.W.C.A., was loaned to the C.W.A. to take charge of the Third Street office. She does not receive a salary. A man from the Y.M.C.A. was also loaned to this office, but he has been with drawn. The C.W.A. seeks to get free workers among colored while white ones are paid.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 FORMER HOWARD PROFESSOR CALLED WORST STUDENT FORMER HOWARD PROFESSOR CALLED WORST STUDENT Slept So Sound in Classes That Punches Failed to Wake Him, Charged (Continued from page 1) the principal letter we had from the university about him at the time his application was pending was written by you. "Mr. Waters has so far made al- most a complete failure in every course. Every member of the facu- ly who has him in any class has given a great deal of patient and sympathetic attention to his difficu- lities but to date the results seem to be practically nil. In faculty meetings and committee meetings he has been one of the principal subjects for discussion, the hope that we could find a way to avoid dropping him. Various theories have been advanced by different members of the faculty as to what his fundamental difficulty is, but we have not been able to come to any conclusions. Sleeps in Class "We arranged to have one of the brightest young men in the class, Mr. Gosnell, assist him, and Mr. Gosnell seems to feel, as do all members of the faculty, that Mr. Waters could do the work if he cared to apply himself to it. He is full of excuses which are conflicting and more or less absurd. Promises to get busy and hand in some of the required work never materialize. From day to day he is reported as sleeping through a large part of the class hour. "Yesterday there came to my desk a letter from one of the instructors which I suspect throws the first real light we have had on Mr. Waters's failure, and I venture to enclose a copy of that letter for your information. I should say perhaps that the verbal reports from other instructors have been uniformly of the same temper as to his failure and indifference. Worst Student "I have written thus frankly in the hope that with your interest and advice we can avoid dropping Mr. Watters, but unless he does show a very decided change of attitude and results in his work we must stick drastic action in the next ten days. This is the sixth year that the School of Library Service has been in operation and I do not think we have had, to date, any student who has failed so completely to apply himself and to produce a minimum result in at least one course. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) C. C. WILLIAMSON, Dean." The letter to which Mr. Williamson referred follows: "COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY New York City, Nov. 4, 1931. "Dear Dr. Williamson: "Though you may be as tired of hearing about Mr. Waters as I think most of us are, I feel impelled to give you my latest report from and about him, particularly as I feel quite sure he is deliberately misrepresenting things. Told Untruths "Monday, he brought to me the only problem he has done in my course to ask the meaning of my corrections. Nothing was accomplished in the hour I spent, toward making him understand what was expected of him but I did become convinced during the hour that he was telling things that were untrue. I, therefore, had much less sympathy for him than I had before. I can give details if you wish them. Sound Sleeper "But today, Mr. Gosnell, who you may know has been helping Mr. Waters with his work, asked me if any of this work had been handed in and in the course of the conversation I asked if he knew what had been the trouble. He said he was convinced that Mr. Waters could do the work by himself—or could have if he had tried to. I expressed my concern as to why he had not tried and he said that he thought Mr. Waters had been spending most of his evenings—nights, in fact, until the wee hours—in the vicinity of 135th Street where he has several Friends. He thought also that this might account for the fact that Mr. Waters slept in so many of his classes which Mr. Gosnell said he had tried to prevent by means of punches—which punches he admitted had been in vain. "I did not feel that I should try to quiz Mr. Gosnell any more, so I do not know on what he has based such a conjecture. And you may not be interested but I thought it possible that you might wish to take the possibility of such conduct into consideration in severing his connection with the school. I apologize for intruding if it is beside the point. "Very truly, (Signed) DENA RABCOCK. A lot of flowers lose their beauty when we try to classify them by their scientific names.

Dear little Sheba: I don't think you have any kick at all even if Harold Reynolds did put all three of you in the car at the same time. He had no idea when he told you to come to the B.W.C.C. barn dance that the other two would be there, and as long as you were the last one out everything should be O.K., but if you ain't satisfied, come up and see me sometime. And now for one of Washington's most popular clubs, the Brown Buddies, at Mupray Casino, December 27, O.K. pal. Did you know that a good swordman is never quarrelsome; and that 'it better to consult with the old and fence with the young; and that a field has three needs—good weather, good seed, and a good husbandman; and that too much dispute puts truth to flight; and that years teach more than books; and that you should not speak of a rope in the house of a man that was hanged; and that imagination gallops while judgment goes or foot; and that wisdom consists of knowing one's follies; and that a good lawyer is a bad neighbor; and that lies have short legs but long wings; and that money ain't everything, but somehow what it ain't nobody wants; which reminds me that the twenty-fifth of December is almost here; and that to you it is Christmas but it is just the twenty-fifth of December to me, so I'll be seeing you. An operetta, "Dance of the Vegetables," was presented by the Children's Theatre of the Southeast House, Monday afternoon. The second group presented a one-act play, "The Pop Corn Man."

WORLD WAR VET SMILES AS HE WALKS TO CHAIR WORLD WAR VET SMILES AS HE WALKS TO CHAIR (Continued from page 1) long to stay here," the condemned man slackened the tempo of his song, lingering on each word in a significant tone. Current Stops Song The guards completed their grim job and stepped back. One raised an arm as a signal to the invisible electrocutioner. The refrain of "Steal Away," was abruptly arrested. The drone of the electric motor filled the air as the echo of the spiritual ebbed into space. The body strained at the unyielding leather bonds as the current struck it. The Rev. Mr. Pinn ceased singing and folded his arms while the dynamos sent forth death. Mother Alice Washington, social worker of the jail, who aids the Rev. Mr. Pinn in his efforts to console doomed men, stood penatively at the door leading into the death house. Guards Turn Their Backs Two guards turned their backs on the scene while the motors kept generating the life-taking fluid. Dr. A, M. MacDonald, acting coroner, and Dr. W.K. Angevine, jail physician, stood near the chair, casting professional glances, first at the body then at their watches. Two minutes crept past snail-like. A signal—the hum ceased. Guards unloosened the straps about the inert body. The two physicians stepped up and applied their stethocopes. Capt. M. M. Barnard, superintendent of District penal institutions, and Thomas M. Rives, superintendent of the District jail, approached the chair from the rear of the room in a meditative mood. Dr. MacDonald walked over to the small group of newspaper men and declared, "I officially pronounce Montague dead at 10:10 a.m." The current had been applied at 10:07 Capt. Barnard, who had witnessed 40 or more executions, exclaimed that the electrocution was one of the cleanest he had ever seen. Both Mr. Rives and the Rev. Mr. Pinn commented on Montague's self-possession as the end approached. The doomed man's last meal was an early breakfast which consisted of bacon, eggs and coffee. After the warrant was read early in the morning, the remaining time was spent in prayer and song service led by the Rev. Mr. Pinn and Mother Washington. Mother is Reassured Following the electrocution, the minister, Mother Washington, and the writer, journeyed to the home of Montague's mother, Mrs. Bertha Crosby, in the 2100 block of Ninth Street, Northwest, to break the sad news. She appeared from across the street as the message bearers stood knocking at the door. Told that her son died bravely and wanted her to meet him across Jordan, the mother declared with confidence, "I'll meet him over there." Montague shot his victim to death on June 8, 1932, on account of his unrequited love. He was lodged in jail three days later. Conviction came in January of this year. He had had three stays, but the President refused to grant a reprieve. Superintendent Rives kept all telephone wires leading to the jail open from 9:45 until after the electrocution in case of a last minute stay. Quartet Has Lost Two Montague was baptized in August. He was reconciled to his fate and fearless to the end through his faith in God. From among his companions in the death row, Montague had organized a quartet. It originally included besides himself: Charles Washington, who died on the previous Friday; Ralph Holmes and Charles Murray, principals in the Logan Circle case who are scheduled to die in January. Served in France Montague's service in the great war included a period of more than a year spent in the trenches of France. In addition to his mother the deceased is survived by: father, Johnnie Montague, a wife, Mrs. Olga Montague, estranged from him at the time of the crime, and a 13-year-old daughter. Services for the dead man were conducted from the Goodwill Baptist Church by the pastor, the Rev. Mr. Pinn, Monday afternoon. Mother Washington also made remarks at the services. Colored Maid Gives Clues in Wynekoop-Murder Case 'CHICAGO—(ANP)—Mrs. Mary Hughes for ten years a domestic employed in the home of Dr. Wynkeoop, noted Chicago woman physician, white, gave the first information which led to Dr. Wynkeoop's confession in the startling murder of her daughter-in-law Friday. Mrs. Hughes told of the strange activities in the home and of finding three blood stained blankets in the room of Mrs. Rheta Wynkeoop, the slain daughter-in-law. The maid had been sent to a burbush to remain until the case "blew over" but was discovered by detectives. This way brings RESULTS... Mr. Merchant!

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Patterson and Norris Given Death Sentences in Decatur All-White Jury Finds Patterson Guilty of Rape of Hobo Girls DECATUR, Ala.—A lily-white jury brought in a verdict of death in the electric chair for Heywood Patterson, at 5:12, on last Friday night. Judge W. W. Callahan, who had conducted the trial as an open provocation to lynch violence, announced death in the electric chair as the sentence. Samuel S. Leibowitz, International Labor Defense counsel, noted an appeal and asked for a month after preparation of the record to make a motion to set aside the verdict. As the verdict was announced, the crowded court-room expressed open satisfaction, and the spectators, deliberately incited to lynch-frenzy by Judge Callahan, rushed out to notify their friends. Tension which had grown hour by hour in the town reached a high pitch, and the danger of lynching for the seven boys locked in a jail that "can be opened with a teaspoon" was reported mounting every moment. The jury had been out since 2:58 Thursday afternoon. The jury which is sitting on the trial of Clarence Norris, beginning Saturday morning, had just been picked after a long process of elimination and disqualifications lasting all day, when the verdict was brought in. Judge Callahan announced he intended to see to it that the Norris trial was over before midnight Saturday. Calahan Denies Change of Venue A change of venue asked by Leibowitz was promptly denied by Callahan. The Norris jury was picked while ten feet away, in the jury room, the Patterson jury was deliberating, or at least delaying rendering, its verdict. Through the closed door could be heard indistinguishable voices, apparently in argument. Norris sat directly alongside the jury room door, in a red sweater and overalls, watching Leibowitz examine prospective jurors. From where he sat he could hear through the door muffled voices, supposedly debating whether to send the first Scottsboro boy to death. Within two days, by Saturday night, according to Callahan's plan, the jury now being picked would be in the same room deciding whether to order him to die or to permit him to live. The first venire panel of 100 was exhausted without getting a jury for the Norris case. Fixed opinions, opposition to capital punishment, unwillingness to accept circumstantial evidence, were the chief reasons for excusing the Clarence Norris Convicted 1 Week After Patterson; Sentenced to Death DECATUR, Ala.—Clarence Norris, the second of the seven defendants in the Scottsboro case retried on a charge of attacking two white girls, was convicted, Wednesday, by a Morgan County jury. The sentence automatically carries the death penalty. Norris and the six other boys have been twice convicted of attacking the women on a freight train near Scottsboro, Ala., nearly two years ago. The first, Heywood Patterson, was retried and convicted last week, and given the death penalty. Cases of the five remaining youths under indictment on the charges have been postponed by Judge W. W. Call way, pending an appeal in the cases of Patterson and Norris. prospective jurors, with admission of fixed opinions dragged out of them by Leibowitz accounting for most. Panel Drawn in Morning Another panel of twelve was drawn at 9:40 a.m., just as loud indistinguishable sounds of heated argument issued from the jury room. Panel after panel was drawn, the court even having to be recessed while the sheriff went out to find prospective jurors, before the number of qualified jurors required by law—thirty—could be found and the process of "striking" begun. Leibowitz moved for a change of venue on the ground that the huge number of fixed opinions found among prospective jurors proved it was impossible to get a fair and impartial verdict in Morgan county. Callahan, who had continually during Leibowitz's questioning of the venirement, cut him short to prevent further admissions of fixed opinions, denied the motion. Taxi Fare Dispute Leads to Slashing Eleven stitches in the leg and three in the neck were required to close wounds in the body of Stillwell Johnson, 26, of the 1600 block of Thirty-first Street, Northwest, at Freedmen's Hospital, Sunday, after he is reported to have been cut with a razor by James O'Neill, 21, of the 1300 block f W Street. The two men are said to have become engaged in an argument over the payment of a taxi fare when the cutting took place. O'Neill was arrested and held on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.

JUDGE White Girl Who Accused Boys of Attack, Makes Statement of Innocence NEW YORK.—From her hospital bed where she lies convalescing after a major operation, Ruby Bates, important Scottsboro defense witness who was unable because of her illness to appear in the Decatur court, and whose deposition Judge Callahan refused to wait for the court to receive, has written to Attorney-General Knight, and to Callahan, repeating her statement of the innocence of the boys. Ruby's letter, written the day after she went through the dangerous and grueling ordeal of questions and answers for five hours to make her deposition of testimony in defense of the Scottaboro boys, follows: November 29, 1933 New York City "Attorney-General Knight, "Judge Callahan Decatur, Ala.

BUS RIDERS GET SCARE AS DRIVER IS FOUND DRUNK Howard Student Brings Blue and Gray Bus From Atlantic City Thirty persons who travelled by bus to Atlantic City to view the annual Howard Lincoln football game were puzzled, early Friday morning when they returned to their Blue and Gray Line Bus to find that the company's driver was obviously intoxicated and in no condition to guide the car on its return trip. The driver, F. E. Yoman, was asleep the whole time the bus was being loaded and did not awaken until the caravan was well on the way to Washington. Merrill O. Moore, a clarinet player in the Howard University R.O.T.C. Band, had to be placed behind the wheel, and until he had carried the bus safely into New Castle, Pa., many of the women riders lacked confidence in his ability to handle the huge vehicle. The Columbia, Missouri youngster, however, showed a skill that soon won the faith of his score and a half of passengers. He brought the machine as far as Baltimore and there turned it over to Yoman, who by this time was in condition to drive. The use of the busses was made necessary by a last minute failure of sufficient number of persons to buy tickets for the running of a train excursion over the Pennsylvania Railroad. The busses arrived in Washington after 9 o'clock Friday morning. London writer thinks the next war will be fought with radios. Wonder if he thinks the crooners will turn against the saxaphoners. Persecution of Africans Increase as Government Makes Way for Fascism e LAGOS, Nigeria—(CNS)—Increasing cases of discrimination against native Africans in connection with increasing economic difficulties on the part of the local capitalists and landowners are being reported here. At the Iddo Station of the Up-Kano Empress of the Nigerian Railway Department, which is facing increasingly difficult financial problems, Africans who wish to meet friends or accompany them to the trains are forced to pay for a platform ticket while the Europeans may enter free by a separate gate. This regulation has been put into effect recently at the express order of the District State Master. Since a recent rumor that gold has once again been discovered in the Panaceatorate of Nigeria, a new policy has been put into effect which gives the District Officers full right to settle all land disputes between natives and foreign explorers. Recently several poor palm-wine sellers were instructed by the police commissioners at Ebutte Metta to move to other lodgings because the white man across the street had complained of their being too noisy for him. The fact that the commissioner did not warn them about making unnecessary noises, but instead told them to shift to other lodgings is a clear indication that these poor workers did not commit a breach of public peace by excessive noise-making. The increasing discrimination against the Africans similar to the discrimination against the Jews in Fascist Germany, is regarded as preparing the way for open Fascism.

ORGANIZING MASS CAMPAIGN TO SAVE JORDAN SALEM, Ore.—An appeal to the workers of the country to fight against facist lynch terror, has just been issued by Theodore Jordan, Negro worker framed to die in the electric chair, from the death cell in the state penitentiary here. A legal and mass campaign to re-open the case before the state supreme court here is being conducted by the International Labor Defense, along with a campaign to force Governor Julius L. Meier to free Jordan unconditionally. "Only mass pressure and action can force these issues," Jordan says in his appeal. "Tom Mooney knows what I am talking about. He has been in prison 17 years, and a giant corporation was the direct instrument of his frame-up. In my case it is the Southern Pacific Railway Lines, which has directed that I must hang. "Sloppy sentiment, tears, and sympathetic expressions can do no good. Mooney, the Scottsboro boys, the workers and the Jewish people of Nazi Germany, Euel Lee, George Armwood, the Tuscaloosa and St. Joseph lynch victims, could tell you this too." Maergen MALT & BOB BREWER Maergen CHR HEURIC BREWING Washington, D.C. Over 60 Years Old THREE U. S. COURT TRIES TO DISBAR ADES; FIGHTS CASE BALTIMORE, Md.-Acting to disbar Bernard Ades, International Labor Defense attorney, because of his militant fight for the rights of Negroes in Maryland, Judge William C, Coleman, of the U. S. District Court here, has issued an order to show cause why he should not be permanently disbarred from practice in the federal courts. This action follows the previous barring of Ades from practice in the Federal Court in the Euel Lee case—an action taken also by Judge Coleman, to prevent the taking of legal steps to save the life of Euel Lee. Accused of Fraudulent Practice The basis of Judge Coleman's attack on the L.L.D. lawyer is primarily his defense of Euel Lee—which the jurist calls "fraudulent" because police claimed they secured a "confession" from Lee. Published photographs of Lee at the time showed just how this "confession" was obtained, Ades contends. This basis of attack, it was pointed out, is even contradictory to the whole supposed principle of American law, under which every defendant is supposed to have the privilege of full and adequate legal defense. The I. L. D. is mobilizing mass defense to prevent the disarmament of Ades, and as well will mobilize a corps of lawyers to fight on the question of the legal issues involved. The organization has called on all workers and organizations, all intellectuals, librarians, and liberal lawyers, to aid in this fight. When the Indians bury their dead they place something to eat beside them to last until they reach the happy hunting grounds. We believe a plate of spinach would wake up a dead man.

ZIFF CO., Chicago, New York, Los Angeles THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 Our College Young Men We have been very much impressed with the activities of the New Negro Alliance, for the most part composed of young agressive college men—some of whom have won honors in the largest and best of our educational institutions. Thus far the prime motive of this organization has been to see to it that our men and women are given employment in existing business enterprises, finance and operated by the other group. We are in hearty accord with this movement. But does it, after all, meet the real issue? Is it not possible that the same zeal, the same energy, and the same brains, could divert itself into channels of establishing enterprises or our own—the drive to have our people including members of the Alliance themselves, and their families, and their friends, support fully the existing enterprises already established by their own? Employment with the other fellow does but part the way—and a very small part. Economic independency or economic progress can only come from institutions, businesses, established by, owned by, and operated by our own group. Several of these young men, highly educated, thoroughly enthused, ambitious and deserving, have parents fully able (at some sacrifice of course) to drive them the opportunity to open a shoe store, a grocery store, and many other types of businesses that will open an avenue for the true development of that education for which they have spent much time and much money. The Tribune sees little hope in men employment alone—but much in the shifting to the position of employer as well as employee. We sincerely hope that the New Negro Alliance will adopt a program to (1) get behind existing enterprises of their own people and support them; (2) and establish new enterprises of our own people and support them.

The one combination that the Negro needs most, the CWA (The Civil Works Administration) is being used by local officials to place only white persons in the so-called white collar jobs while the Negro is being given unskilled jobs only. A checkup by a committee this week discloses the astounding fact that out of about 2,000 white collar jobs distributed within the past few days not a single Negro has been put to work in one of these clerical jobs. Jacob Baker, an official of the CWA, admits that the Negro has been given the run-a-round and hints at buck passing. Howard Clark, another official, says the Negro should be satisfied with the laboring jobs. The whole setup is jim crow and even white and colored laborers register at separate places. However, the brunt of the blame has been placed on David Ruml, in charge of the office at 480 Indiana Avenue, and every effort is being made to make him account for his segregated arrangement. Ruml claims to have worked for the Rosenwald Fund and is sympathetic with Negroes while Baker, who is also in the local scheme tries to befuddle you with his Northern attitude towards Negroes, "having been born up North he is o.k. with Negroes." In the meantime not a single Negro has been put to work in a white collar job. We do not bemoan the non-employment of Negroes because of the so-called white collar classification—but we do resent the fact that Negroes are kept out of positions although they are amply qualified to fill same.

Heywood Patterson, the 21-year-old Negro three times convicted of assault upon Victoria Price, a mill worker, an a freight train in northern Alabama two years ago may be guilty, as far as The Post knows. The word of the woman herself and of corroborating witnesses stood against the sworn Heywood Patterson, the 21-year-old Negro three times convicted of assault upon Victoria Price, a mill worker, on a freight train in northern Alabama two years ago may be guilty, as far as The Post knows. The word of the woman herself and of corroborating witnesses stood against the sworn Innocent. In no way. Heywood Patterson, the 21-year-old Negro three times convicted of assault upon Victoria Price, a mill worker, an a freight train in northern Alabama two years ago, may be guilty, as far as the Post knows. The word of the woman herself and of corroborating witnesses stood against the sworn testimony of the young Negro. In proper circumstances, the question would be merely to determine which evidence to believe. Unfortunately, the Scottsboro case is not so simple at that. Too many other things enter into consideration, and most of them lend color to the conviction that although it is possible for a defendant in such cases and in such circumstances to obtain the form of a fair trial, it is not possible by any means to get the substance of a fair trial. Alabama has prided herself upon the fact that these defendants have not been lynched; that they have been tried in courthouses in at least an orderly manner; that they have been granted changes of venue and accorded the right to designate their own counsel. In other words, the elements of justice have been conceded them. But that is not enough. In this case, the judge's charge was inflammatory, in that he injected extraneous discussion of the protection of womanhood. It was provocative to conviction, in that he failed to charge at all upon the mechanics of acquitting the defendant until defense counsel had reminded him to do so. Newspaper reporters said in their reports that Judge Callahan did not conceal his hostility toward the defense counsel, an attitude that was susceptible of transmission to the jury. Aside from overt errors, the preponderating factor against the possibility of obtaining simple justice in the case was the public's attitude. It was more difficult to obtain a jury than it had been in 15 years, and at least half the veniemen disqualified themselves because they had formed or expressed an opinion—and this in spite of the fact that the trial had been moved to a county where the setting was theoretically impartial. The public attitude again was demonstrated in the passionate address of the prosecuting attorney general, who largely threw evidence to the winds and pleaded for conviction on a basis of protection of the virtue of womanhood. He shaped up an entirely false issue and made it a case in which the jury had to convict or suffer the obloquy of abandoning traditions which some are pleased to call chivalric. When the defendant's counsel accused him of generating heat instead of light, he retorted, "Of course it's a passionate speech," and launched into a peroration calculated to stir smoldering, age-old prejudices. An indication of at least the necessity for precaution against public temper was the fact that the judge found it necessary to assign two deputies of the sheriff to guard the defendant's counsel. The presence of that attorney was in itself an irritant. The whole atmosphere of the trial leaves the disturbing doubt whether anything remotely approaching the substance of justice THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. DECEMBER 7. 1933 Why the Negro Condemns Lynching It is indeed unfortunate that the fate of the race must hinge on its defense of criminals, but unless these offenders are guaranteed fair trials, no Negro is of certain fair trials in the face of passion and prejudice.

Cunning propaganda has sought to fix upon him a propensity for the "Usual crime" swiftly followed by the penalty, all of which tends to impute to him an evil character and to blacken him in the eyes of the world. When ever a Negro is lynched, the charge of rape is imputed although such heinous assault may have had nothing to do with the cause. The person who feels the wound will be the loudest to utter the groan. In defending himself against the injustice of an evil reputation, the Negro is forced into the unfavorable light of seem- Kelly Miller ing to defend murderers and rapists of his own race.

CALIFORNIA CRIME IS BEYOND UNDERSTANDING The public mind is now agitated over the recent outbreak of mob violence in Maryland, California and Missouri. The same press dispatches from these scenes of horror and outrage tell us of threatened mob violence against the senior Senator from Louisiana, wideeyed known as the king fish. I will dismiss for the time being the Maryland and Missouri cases as involving the issue of race with all of its resultant passion and prejudice. Let us focus attention on the lynching and burning in California and Governor Robb's condonation of mob action. The kidnapping and murder of an innocent youth in cold blood, and then after the atrocious act, demanding money ransom of the grief stricken parents sounds the depths of human deprivacy. When a sex craved wretch, in hot blood, commits assault on woman, the heinous deed is at least understandable. But the cold blooded, calculated atrocity of the California kidnappers surpasses all human understanding. The dastardly crime met with swift and dire penalty. The mutilation, lynching and burning of a human body represents the climax of mob vengeance. Here, then, we have a clear-cut case. The imagination can go no further in either direction. The race issue does not figure in the equation. The public mind is now agitated over the recent outbreak of mob violence in Maryland, California and Missouri.

GOVERNOR BOLPH'S Every right-minded Negro in America will condemn the California outrage with as great severity of denunciation as if the victim had be-onged to his own race and blood. Should persons within the personal or relative circle of the victim lay violent hand on the throat of the culprit, I can find it in my heart to condemn them. "Vengeance is a species of mind justice," says Loyd Bacon. It is the natural reaction of injured human nature. But civilization consists in restraint of natural passion and impulse. The law was instituted to hold all such outbreaks in restraint. The Every right-minded Negro in America will condemn the California outrage as with great severity of denunciation as if the victim had beonged to his own race and blood. Should persons within the personal or relative circle of the victim lay violent hand on the throat of the cuiprit, I can find it in my heart to condemn them. "Vengeance is a species of mind justice," says Loyd Bacon. It is the natural reaction of injured human nature. But civilization consists in restraint of natural passion and impulse. The law was instituted to hold all such outbreaks in restraint. The Governor of a state is its chief law enforcing officer. If the Governor yields to local and provincial passion and strikes hand with the lawless mob, anarchy is the inevitable end. Governor Ritchie of Maryhill was confronted by issues as distressing as those which faced the California executive with the race element to boot, but he courageously vindicated the majesty of the law while Governor Rolph cannulated with the mob. Which of the twain will appeal to the sober, reflective judgment of the American people? Answer to this query will determine whether the nation shall be governed by law or ruled by anarchy. The Negro represents a helpless minority of the American people. Minorities have no salivation or protection except that safeguarded by the law. Though all men should forsake the law, yet should not be, for it is his sole and only means of salvation. One single significant act stands out in the life of President Calvin Coolidge. He stood firmly by the majesty of the law in face of the fury of the mob. This one act made him President, Unless I misunderstand the temper of the American people this timid surrender by Governor Rolph to the mob will be the cause of his political undoing. Doubly dangerous and unfortunate is the stand of Governor Rolph at such a time as this. The murderer, the rapist, the kidnapper, the gangster are threatening the disruption of all social order. This nation must speedily destroy lawlessness or lawlessness will destroy the nation. You cannot cure crime with crime. The requirement of violence with violence is a remedy for nothing. Murder does not stop murder, lynching does not prevent rape, nor will lynching and burning prevent kidnapping. All good Americans ought to be—all right-minded Negroes must be—on the side of the law. (Tribune Editor's Note:—Neither do we KNOW whether or not Patterson is guilty, nor do we KNOW—except by faith—that there is a God. But our knowledge of how unnecessary it is for a Negro to be guilty of any crime, when accused by a white woman in the south, leads us to the inevitable belief that this man is innocent.) The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. The First Scientific Study of the Negro in the Professions The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. The First Scientific Study of the Negro in the Professions BY CARTER G. WOODSON, of Washington D.C., Editor 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." The Association for the Study of Negro Life and History has brought out Dr. Carter G. Woodson's long expected book entitled "The Negro Professional Man and the Community." This study of the Negro in the professions is not treated as an isolated effort. To know these classes we must under- stand the environment in which they live. Only in the case of those who they have invaded in considers numbers and in which they h shown considerable increase, though still in small numbers, much space been given. The tran- ment, taken as a whole, too, is stricted largely to the medical legal professions. While teachers and preach greatly outnumber the other cl phase of the portraiture of the social and economic conditions of the Negroes which the author and his staff have been making since 1928. This particular portion of the body of information thus collected has been lifted out of its setting and presented to the public to invite attention to trends and tendencies in a particular sphere. We shall then see the professional classes as they react to the many forces at work in the life of the masses. Herein the author is not particularly concerned with how much medicine or law one knows, but with what he does with what he had acquired; not so much with the question as to how great a physician or lawyer he may be as with how useful a man he is in the community. Herein, however, it is admitted that the community with respect to the Negro is difficult to define. One account of the social and economic factors involved in the Negro community does not yield to definition any more readily than the term Negro because of the biological and anthropological elements involved. We used to think of a community as defined by the area embracing the population buying goods, receiving mail, attending church and trading horses and the like at the same point. In urban communities and even in rural settlements today, however, Life has become so complex that students of the social order now consider a man's community as made up of the persons with whom he associates. The man living next door, then, may not be the professional man's neighbor, for if he does not associate with this nearby resident he does not live in the same community. The actual community of the professional man, then, may not be made up of those upon whom he depends for a living, by of those whom he seeks at his club, at the board of trade, at the races, at church, or in other social circles. These are the persons who constitute the real environment of an individual and determines his functions beyond the effort of making a living. The one who has no such associations may be earning a livelihood, but he moves in a world by himself. The Negro community, too, is determined in another way. Sometimes the professional man has difficulty in finding a community. While his people of African blood are compelled to sustain closer relation to those of their own color than to other elements of the population, they are at the same time influenced socially and economically in various directions by even those who contemptuously refer to Negroes as pariathos of society. For example, while supplying the evil influence for the community in which Negroes must live and fearlessly opposing any effort to counteract those by making social contacts with the better classes of the other race, the white professional man seldom despises Negro patronage. There may be a Negro physician in the neighborhood, but the Negro chauffeur for a white man down town or the washerwoman for an aristocratic family in "quality row" will be more than apt to seek the advice and assistance of the professional man retained by those who employ them, although the services rendered may be like feeding the contaminated with a long-handled spoon. MISEDUCATED NEGROES LACK CO-OPERATION A number of unenlightened Negroes live in such a community, but the majority of them do not, for the Negro professional man finds his best opportunity for practice among illiterate Negroes who show more loyalty and co-operation than the highly miseducated element of the race. Yet there are thousands of illiterate Negroes who proceed the way of the misguided element. Referring to these, the professional man often says that he will not lose time with people who are thus satisfied, but the exploiting healer, the unprincipled politician, the notorious gambler, and the agent of vice are at work purposefully misleading these people who have not as yet shaken from their minds the shackles of slavery. What is going to become of them? What is going to become of the professional man? These are the questions raised in this dissertation. In this treatise, moreover, it was impossible to give the details of all data on the various professions. In some of them the Negro does not yet figure prominently enough to warrant such extensive treatment. NEW TREND IN COMMUNITY LIFE Only in the case of those which they have invaded in considerable numbers and in which they have shown considerable increase, although still in small numbers, has much space been given. The treatment, taken as a whole, too, is restricted largely to the medical and legal professions. While teachers and preachers greatly outnumber the other classes, the public is so well informed on these that it is considered adequately here to treat them only to the extent of their relations to others and the important bearing of their work on that of others herein more seriously considered. INVESTIGATORS MAKE THOROUGH CANVASS The area covered consists of all of the large cities with a considerable Negro population and practically all of the South, taking in almost all cities of twenty-five thousand inhabitants and even communities of a few hundred persons. Investigators went in their cars from town to town in Maryland, Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Kentucky, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Missouri. For the area beyond these points with the exception of the large cities, the staff depended upon other sources of information. In this survey were investigated a large number of persons who failed or refused to fill out questionnaires. The method of approach was both direct and indirect. Talking with a professional man, the investigator drew him out on what he had to say about himself; and, talking with his neighbors, the investigator learned what they think of him. In various ways the staff made contacts with and secured information concerning about 25,000 Negroes in professional spheres. Questionnaires and interviews were reported from 1,051 physicians, 655 dentists, 625 nurses, 388 pharmacists, and 503 lawyers with whom this treatise specifically deals. Of the still larger number of teachers and ministers investigated no detailed treatment is given herein since the emphasis is placed upon those engaged in the medical and legal spheres. In the Realm of Books By C. LESLIE FF.AZIER A new book called "Roll, Jordan, Roll," by Julia Peterkin, declares white people in the South were taught their manners by Negro servants. The book was published on December 8, by Robert Ballou, Inc. 2 West 13th Street, New York. Miss Peterkin declares: "The reputation of Southern people for good manners is deeply indebted to the training received from Negro nurses and servants who helped rear them. . . It is difficult to estimate just how much Southern white people have been shaped by the opinion of Negro servants. . ." The book is illustrated by seventy distinctive photographs by Dorothy Ullman, noted photographer. One of the best issues of Opportunity ever published is now on the newsstands—the December issue. In a blazing editorial, "The Color Line and Recovery," Elmer A. Carter bitterly condemns the attempt of Southern industrialists to force a differential wage for Negroes by securing the consent of Negro leaders in the South. Not in a long time has there appeared such a tender moving story of Negro life as Langston Hughes's "One Christmas Eve," which also appears in this issue. In "The Negro Doctor and Socialized Medicine," Lester B. Granger calls upon Negro physicians, surgeons and dentists to "wake up" and find out what is happening to them in the present crisis. Keneth E. Barnhart, who was dismissed from his teaching position at Birmingham Southern College for his activities in the Scottboro case, writes brilliantly on "Negro Education and Crime." "Along This Way," the autobiography of James Weldon Johnson, is interpreted by William Stanley Braithwaite, former critic of the Boston Transcript. The amazing story of Stella Thomas, King's Counselor, the first colored girl to be admitted to the English bar to practice law, is told for the first time by Thyra Edwards. Ollie Stewart gives a close-up of the Negro rural schools in the South that is an eye opener. A symbolic cover of "The Three Wise Men" by J. H. Dodd is strikingly original. There are poems by Marcus Christian, Anita Scott Coleman, and J. Henderson Brooks. **** In another column on this page Dr. Carter G. Woodson gives an outline of his new book, "The Negro Professional Man and the Com- BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL SPECIAL FEATURES munity," which has just been issued by the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History. I have not seen the book but the author seems to have made an interesting survey of a timely subject. As I See It By GARLAND MACKEY This Week By HAROLD G. EATON This Week By HAROLD G. EATON SOME LITTLE MISTAKES COMMITTED BY HOODLUMS Some Little Mistakes Committed by Gentlemen. Men are peculiar beings. Often they commit certain mistakes that they can not realy; account for. Sometimes some of them, I think, unconsciously and unintentionally do little wrongs that may insult or embarrass the fair sex. Of course if they were enlightened as to the rudeness of their conduct enough to cause them to realize how ungentlemanlike it appeared to the public, I am more than sure they would make a change for the better. Quiet a few complaints have come my way from ladies who have been subjected to embarrassment as they walk the street. Men, naturally, are the guilty parties. It seems that there are, in this fair city, an exclusive set of young men who term themselves as "lady killers" or other words women's men. Aided with a slight bit of handsomeness plus a knowledge of "the way to handle women" (mostly women older than themselves), they have found it possible as well as profitable to live easy lives as sheiks (parasites). It is in truth their own personal affair to live such lives if they so choose. It is probably the only possible way for a few of them to see their way through at such a time; and the only harm done is to themselves. But being gentlemen of leisure with nothing to occupy their minds, they congregate on two certain corsers of U Street and there intentionally or unintentionally make themselves a nuisance to respectable girls and young women that chance to pass these particular intersections. Often some of the poor hearts (speaking of the ladies of course) suffer a temporary nervous collapse as they pacs the gazing, piercing eyes of the sheiks. A few of the extreme nervous ladies do not walk pass this audience with their natural stride. No, it is not because they wish to do the Mae West walk nor do they intend to walk other than their natural gait. It is because they realize that these gentlemen are giving them the "ong2-over" and that they are more than apt to hear the unfavorable and embarrassing comments such as: "Too ba" she is a little bowlegged and pigeon-toed" or "Oh, she ain't my type and I don't think she is so hot." Being aware of this they try to walk like ladies should walk and that's where they get the jitters instead. Negro men are always bellowing about the disrespect that white men show colored women but they never stop to think that white men are merely "following the lead" of the colored men in the disrespect they show their own women. Surely, men of color should have enough respect for Negro womanhood to not allow themselves to harass the ladies, so much as to cause some of them physical harm, as they pass along the street. MARYLAND, MY MARYLAND By THE REV. BUGENE WILLIAMS Pastor John Stuart Memorial M.E., Church The lynching mob is on thy soil, Maryland, my Maryland. They're roasting prisoners in oil, Maryland, my Maryland. Bchold the mob that swings the robe. Poor. The poor black victim has no hope, I hear him scream, "O Lord, how long?" The Constitution prostrate lies, Maryland, my Maryland. While common sense with justice flies. Maryland, my Maryland. Maryland, my Maryland. The cry comes from the Eastern Shore. The governor's troops are on the go. While men, wild-eyed, rush to and fro. Our country's in an awful fix, Maryland., my Maryland. We're heading to the River Styx, Maryland, my Maryland. From Golden Gate the news has come. That Governor Rolph is on the burn. He shouts "Hurrah!" while victims burn. Missouri also joins the ranks, Maryland, my Maryland. Defying guards and army tanks, Maryland, my Maryland. Let justice rule though Heaven fail. But mobs still batter down the jail. Anarchy floats over every vale. Truth crushed to earth shall rise again, Maryland, my Maryland. For right must triumph in the end, Maryland, my Maryland. The laws of Heaven have decreed That men must gather every seed, That they have sown; let us take heed. As I See It As I See It By GARLAND MACKEY "This new generation is not content with preachings against that vile form of collective murder—lynch law—which has broken out in our midst anew," so spoke the President of the United States last night over a nation-wide broadcast that carried as near as Maryland and as far as California, which two states have defied law and order recently. The President's address was a direct rebuke to Governor Rolph, of California, who condoned the lynching of two white men. "We know that it is murder and a deliberate disobedience of the commandment, 'Thou shalt not kill,' continued the Chief Executive. There is no doubt that a Federal anti-lynch law will be met favorably when Congress meets in January. The New Negro Alliance deserves the whole-hearted support of Washington. This group of new Negroes with considerable sacrifice has secured 18 jobs for members of their race in places where Negroes were never employed before. Officials of the A.&P. Stores in a statement this week said that they were willing to co-operate with members of the Alliance in the matter of placing colored men in stores largely patronized by colored. Housewives are showing their appreciation for the placing of these young men by patronizing the A.&P. Stores in preference to other stores which do not employ colored. JESTER! By G. Byron Ulp Oh! give to me the cap and bells, For I would fain a jester be, Thus I can laugh outright at men And let the poor things laugh at me. Give me the lute and I'll strum a tune To wile away the hours in ease, To further dull the sluggard brain And passions, senses seek to please. Yes, give to man the cap and bells And let him strum upon the lute, Since the heritage God gives to him He casts aside in disrepute. This is the heritage of man: That he shall all God's beauty see That generations passing by, shall ever increase mentally. ever increase mercy, That all be equal, all be free, To share the full of earth's plenty. But man approaches not God's plan, Though ages pass into the dust; And e'er each final curtain lowers, The gold he deals in is but rust. Here at the footstool of his God, Man will but pipe the jester's flute. Until he visions full God's plan, Of justice to every man. Christmas Seals An Investment If people who buy Christmas Seals could follow their money through to see what it accomplishes they would regard it as an investment rather than a gift. Yet it is a gift in this sense: the benefits of the work the seals do are shared with those who through misfortune are unable to buy them. Tuberculosis is no respecter of persons; among all types of people it is still the first cause of death between the ages of 15 and 45. Yet there are strategic ways of concentrating tuberculosis work on particular individuals so the most telling blows can be dealt. Chief among the modern methods of stamping out the disease is the finding of cases as early as possible when the chance for cure is greatest. And instead of a hit-or-miss effort to subject the whole population to a survey to find cases, it has been found more productive in practise to concentrate efforts on medical examination of persons who are in close contact with known active cases. "Tuberculosis causes tuberculosis—every case comes from another" is the battle cry all year round of tuberculosis organizations through out the nation. When a new case is discovered, it is vitally important to find out from whom he got it. Usually it is a member of the same family, or somebody in close association. Then the next question is to whom he has given it, and this requires the same careful consideration. Every time this procedure closes another case, there is found one more person who may be placed on the road to recovery from a dis ease that he did not know he had and, in addition, this knowledge prevents further infection of additional persons. Such methods as these are helping to lower the tuberculosis death rate year by year though the disease is still considered by public health authorities to be our great est single health problem and one which by no means is successfully solved as yet.

Wednesday night the Knots, the No Good Are We's had their opening in their Penthouse Club, E 34, Lincoln Hotel. And what an opening! The crowds began to gather early and stay late into the night. Out-of-town people greeted each other and talked of old times; new acquaintances were made and enjoyed and jokes and laughs were intermingled. Goodnight partings came with many regrets, but the spirits of all were cheered when cards were issued inviting the crowd to "open house" Thursday afternoon from 3 to 8 o'clock. Did the crowd wait until 3 p.m.? I say they did not. Footsteps were heard as early as 9 a.m., tramping to the Knots. These Knots are very well known, too.

Thursday night, everyone met at the game in that massive auditorium on the boardwalk. Howardites and Lincolnites vied with each other for supremacy. Sport clothes, evening clothes and what have you were all in order. The game ended in Howard's favor, but the Lincolnites demonstrated true sportsmanship and accepted defeat with a smile. Many Washingtonians were at the game and dance which followed, but had to leave early to board the train which left about three o'clock. After the game was over and greetings were exchanged, the dance, held on the next floor of the Auditorium, drew crowds of spectators. Claude Hopkins and his band furnished music for the occasion. Claude Hopkins and his band funni From this dance, various groups assembled and drove to the Ritz Tea Garden, where the Les Jolies and the Hy-Lites entertained lavishly. The names of this club were given to you last week. "No rest for the weary." A true saying, for with aching feet the crowd then wended its way to the breakfast and reception given by Mrs. Sarah Spencer Washington. The vivacious little lady, who was instrumental in having the game broadcasted over Station WPG, now acted as hostess to about two hundred and fifty guests at breakfast. Dancing was also featured. And what a wonderful hostess she made. No one will forget her hospitality in years to come. And now I guess you say "to bed," I say "No." Not to bed, but again let's peep in at the Knots who are still entertaining, for in relays they have remained at the Penthouse to receive their friends. Our hats are off to the Knots. Friday afternoon found the crowd at the matinee dance at Fitzgerald's given by the Benedict Club. Wonderful little dance. Everyone was so congenial and affable—then just time enough to get a bite and dress, then the crowd was off to the costume ball given by the San Souci Club. One was truly reminded of the What Good Are We's dance in the spring. Pirates, maids, Japs, Spaniards, Frenchmen, Zulu chiefs, farmer girls, and what have you danced together until the wee hours of the morning. To bed after this? Never no bed. Let us now introduce you again to the Knots entertaining at the Belmont. The place fitted up as a rustic log cabin was filled to capacity. This truly was a fitting place for costumes to add atmosphere to the setting. And they did. What a picture the various parties made under the shaded amber lights. Saturday afternoon and all is well. The Carlitas Social Club is now entertaining with their Premier Matine Dansant. Vivienne Aldrich is president; Rita Bruce vice-president; Dolores Biddle, secretary; Thelma Brown, treasurer Members include Goldie Thornton, Eleanor Kelley, Helen Edwards, Hortense Broomes, Vivian Johnson, Dorothy Clarke, Evelyn Wallace, and Marie Boyd The Inter-Fraternity dance, strictly formal, was featured Saturday night. A very pretty dance, Beautiful ladies wearing handsome gowns, genteel men clad in rich tuxedos, good music and an artistically decorated hall. What more could one wish for? Now, as I come to the end of my story (I haven't told you one-half of the activities yet, for I haven't touched the home affairs) I cannot close without telling you that the Knots again received on Sunday afternoon from 2 to 6 p.m. I cannot give you the particulars here for yours truly was hitting the road back to D.C., by way of Philadelphia. A stop at the home of Mrs. Lillian Bagnall, a chat at the home of Elaine Hughes, Gwendolyn Higginbotham and Bernice Hughes Martin, who were in Philadelphia, and then through the fog to D.C. and to bed. Did you say bed? Yes—and what a bed! Did the crowd enjoy Atlantic City? I'll say they did. Seen and heard at the social gatherings were hundreds, a few of whom were: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Scott, of New York City; Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Goodloe, Washington, D.C.; Mr. and Mrs. Walter S.

Burnett Quiller, of 1634 Fifteenth Street, Northwest, spent Thanksgiving in Philadelphia. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 PEARLIE'S PRATTLE The little town of Greensboro, N.C. should really "sit up now, and take notice" of itself now, for, while prominent men and nattily-grown women, daintily-dressed co-eds and admiring young swains were heading hurriedly toward Atlantic City and the Howard-Lincoln Classic, Mr. Charles Cornish, popular man about Washington, who is usually present at "everything that is anything" didn't give a thought to the big ball game, nor to his many friends of whatever name or fame, but lost sight completely of everybody and everything except the fact that a certain little lady (one of Washington's prettiest) is now a clever schoolma'am in that very southern town. So what was there for a jolly young fellow to do but to rush right down to the Tarheel State and bid that self-same girl the cheeriest kind of a Thanksgiving Greeting. You were wondering last week about Brookland. It was still as pretty—the flowers, the homes, everything. The men were as interesting, the women just ever so smart; the children as care-free at play. Still there was some little something amiss, and you wore yourself almost to a frazzle trying to figure it out. Then you got a pretty card post-marked New York and Lo! Your difficult problem was solved. Mrs. Walter Tate, 1307 Girard Stdeet, Northcast, that individual whom everyone you know likes to have around, was spending a week or so with her sister, the entrancing Elizabeth (Mrs. E. R. Jefferson). And that's what was wrong with Brookland. ... It does seem that "Mother Nature," "Dame Fortune," "Lady Luck" (or whatever you choose to call her) has been unusually kind to Mrs. Fred Crawford of Baltimore. Some must make a cake, sew a seam, or scrub a floor so well; some must sing a song, paint a tree, read a poem true; or find some other worthy thing to do to make mankind remember that they live. But here is a lovely creature who merely by being her own charming self, all unwittingly draws one to her as a magnet draws a bit of steel. Mrs. Crawford, who by the way is a niece of the noted writer and educator, W. E. D. DuBois; is a teacher of dramatics in the Baltimore Schools. She has that lovely asset (in a woman) a soft, sweet voice, and such a winning way of looking at you when she talks. She knows exactly what to do with clothes (that wonderful aid to charm) and—well, she has found her "place in the sun" and she dearly loves her work. But (and here's further proof that "Lady Bountiful" has more than abundantly blessed her) the little lady also sings (an appealing sort of soprano) and, while spending a da, or so with Mrs. Roberta Smootz, 1741 T Street, Northwest. Mrs. Crawford appeared as one of the guest artists at a smart function at the Y.W.C.A., last Saturday evening. With that catchy little tune, "Love'e a Merchant" and several other numbers she sang her way deeper into the hearts of everyone. (I say deeper because she had already won the hearts of all of us by simply being the dear little lady that she is.) --- Mrs. Mabel Walker, charming society matron, and wife of Mr. John W. Walker, one of Harlem's richest brokers, rushed down from New York last Sunday to help make the day ever so happy for her first cousin, Mrs. C. Leonard Johnson, 1907, Eleventh Street, Northwest, better known as "Billy" of the Vogue Beauty Shop. --- If you find that the members of the Epsilon Sigma Iota Sorority are appearing a bit "initialish" don't be alarmed. Those lawyers and near-lawyers are not trying to be "differend" or "highbrow" either. But with so many of the important personages of the Nation getting all "alphabet-conscious" and everything (as witness the AAA, the CWA, the PWA, the CCC, the RFC and—well there are others as you know, this particular group of women could not afford to stay in the dark as regards their ABCc. So, what did they do but secure as a guest speaker at one of their meetings, Miss Etta Taggart, Lieutenant-General of the Volunteer Army of NRA Workers, for the District. Miss Taggart is best known as a lawyer, but she is also an efficient teacher. If you don't believe it ask any member of the Epsilon Sigma Iota Sorority just anything at all about the NRA. Although it has been two weeks or more since he appeared in Washington, at least part of the "Talk of the Town" is the program rendered by the English actor, V. L. Granville. If you stop for a moment to think of the group of women who sponsored the affair you would certainly have been disappointed had the program proved other than extraordinary. Take, for instance, the chairman of the committee, Mrs. Rose Clifford, 2263 Sherman Avenue. Who can ever forget the memorable role she played in the "White-headed Boy" some months ago? Then there's Miss Edna West, popular school teacher and terribly interested in dramatics. There were many, many others, tireless workers, all. And so, it will be with renewed interest that most of us will await their next presentation. --- The tall, interesting looking gentleman whom you saw walking across Q Street toward a parked green car a Sunday so ago, and the becoming-clad creature clinging to his arm, were Mr. and Mrs. Charles E. Jones of 558 Twenty-fifth Street, Northeast. How unlucky are the members of a well-known church who hear no more the sweet songs adorable "Cora" (Mrs. Jones) used to sing! And how lucky is Mr. Jones having a singer like that on hand 365 days a year! --- If you were to ask that smiling bit of slenderness that goes by the name of Sylvia Mayo how she spent her Thanksgiving Day she would promptly say: "A dear little friend, Annie Eastino, popular at the Teachers' College, gathered up her best-loved uncle and aunt, drove to 43 R Street, Northwest, and picked me up. We raced out to Calvert County, Maryland. Of course, the long ride made us hungry. But soon we saw a pretty cottage on a hill (Annie's mother and father live there, and her brothers and sisters too) and out they rushed to meet us and greet us and give us a "great, big hand!" Then, almost before we knew it, the clock was striking the dinner hour and we were on our way to the table. Well, we "wrapped ourselves around" so much turkey and (but I mustn't make you hungry) and for an hour or more afterwards, we were just a lot of "Lazy-bones" wishing Thanksgiving or some other holiday would last forever. Finally we got ourselves together again. We walked a little, danced a little—and it was what could be called a "Perfect Day," but every day must have its night, and soon we heard those hateful words "Time to start back home," and then there were faint recollections of a city called Washington with its wide open Teachers' College doors." Kingman Park Home Scene of Gala Party Misses Lilyan Mansfield and Pauline Williams were hostesses to a number of their friends at a pre-Thanksgiving party at their Kingman Park home, 2508 E Street, Northeast, Wednesday night. Among the guests present were Misses Doris Risher, Marie Moss, Florence Phillip, Amanda Ball, Willa Mae Watts, Loretta Williams, Bernice Williams, Ethyl Coleman, Clarice McEntree, Marie McEntree, Margaret Haywood, Mattie Day, Mabel Neale, and Kathryn Hyson, and Messrs.

Williams, a teacher in Lynchburg, Va.; and Lester and Lenoy McBaldon, students at New York University of New York City.

Marshall, a graduate of Howard Medical School, who is now practicing in Atlantic City.

Mrs. Mable Snyder, of 906 Sixth Street, Southeast, is dead from the effects of the bullet which struck her in the back. Mrs. Sarah Wims, her sister, of the 700 block of L Street, Southeast, is in jail, where she was remanded by a coroner's jury Friday, to await the action of the grand jury. The cause of the shooting was traced directly to an argument between the two women over the estranged husband of the dead woman, Herman Snyder, of 69 Canal Street, Southwest, whose wife went to bed with him at the Sixth Street address. Tracing the results of his investigation before the coroner's jury, Detective Sergeant Clyde M. Strange testified in part that: Mrs. Wims rented the house for her sister to make money on rooms and boarders; and that Mrs. Wims objected to Snyder sleeping with his wife at the house on the fatal evening. James Driver, of 744 Navy Place, Southeast, told of drinking and gambling at the residence several hours before the tragedy. After a jaunt away from the dwelling, Driver said he returned with Mrs. Wims about 4 a.m. The latter, he said, went to the upstairs bedroom and began to argue with her sister because she was in bed with her estranged husband. Four Shots Fired "They fussed about five minutes" stated Driver, "then two shots rang out. I ran upstairs and tussled with Sarah (Mrs. Wims) and tried to get the gun away from her. She was out in the hall and told me to turn her loose as she was going down stairs. I turned her loose. "She then fired twice more," continued Driver. "Mable (Mrs. Snyder) was laying in the bed. When the last shot was fired she jumped up and hollered and fell back. I went out and called Number 5." On the stand, Snyder, the estranged husband whose presence caused the argument, corroborated the testimony of Driver, admitting that he was in bed with his wife. He declared that he and his wife had been separated about three or four months, but visited each often. Questioned by Dr. A. M. MacDonald, acting coroner, whether his wife had been drinking on the fatal night, Snyder replied, "My wife took a good deal. She was feeling pretty good." Snyder stated he went down stairs after the first two shots were fired. After the last two shots, he said, "I heard Sarah holler, 'Oh. Oh.'" Scars Exhibited Upon cross examination by E. Russell Kelley, white, attorney for Mrs. Wims, Snyder exhibited scars on the right side of the face where his wife the dead woman is said to have cut him, and another on the chin, where she is said to have struck him with a board. He also spoke of other scars in the head allegedly received in a similar manner. Both Snyder and Driver stated under cross examination that there was "bad blood" between the two sisters. The dead woman weighed 221 pounds, and according to her husband had a "fiery temper." In addition to the bullet wound, the autopsy by Dr. C. J. Murphy, deputy coroner, revealed that the dead woman had a bruise on each thigh as well as a black eye. Fled in Stocking Feet After the shooting, Mrs. Snyder who is also portly built, ran from the scene of the shooting in her stocking feet. She was spied several doors away by Officer Strong of the Fourth Precinct, who had received a call at the station that there was something amiss at the Sixth Street address. Taking Mrs. Snyder back, he was met by Officers Bowers and Plant, also summoned to the scene. The aude body of Mrs. Snyder was discovered in bed with a blanket cast over it, in the upstairs bedroom. Dr. Pasalacqua, of Casualty Hospital, who responded with an ambulance, pronounced her dead upon arrival. The officers told the coroner's jury that they had found three lars of whiskey at the residence. VIRGINIA WOMAN MARRIES D.C. MAN A marriage license was granted to James W.

TENNESSEE PAYS FOR SPY ON COMMUNISTS TENNESSEE PAYS FOR SPY ON COMMUNISTS KNOXVILLE, Tenn.—A person who spies on Communists ought to get paid for it by a grateful state, is the opinion of the Circuit grand jury here, which has just granted an award of $250 to L. L. Coffey for his "services" as labor spy. Coffey was proprietor of the Market Square Hotel where Communist leaders and workers slept on occasions. Safety Director Anderson, after getting Coffey to do this dirty job, wanted to get out of paying and said that he hadn't hired Coffey at all. But the grand jury thought Coffey ought to get his $250. No Abbot its members reasoned that, with southern workers showing determined resistance to being ground down further, it may be just as well for the bosses to keep up the "morale" of their labor spies.

OUR READERS ARE ASKED TO PATRONIZE THE ADVERTISERS IN YOUR PAPER CITIZENS' GROUP PROTEST REPUTED ATTACK BY COP Inspector Withholds Action Pending Review by Police Court Vigorous protests against the alleged brutal beating of Miss Madeline Tabbs, 23, of 918 Desmonds Court, Southwest, by a white officer, were lodged with Inspector Albert J. Headley and Captain Jeremiah Sullivan, of the Fourth Precinct, by a committee of the Southwest Civic Association, of which John T. Rhines is president, Friday evening. Demands for stern disciplinary measures against Officer G. F. Struder, accused of beating, kicking, and clubbing the woman were made by the delegation which spent one hour with the officials. The committee included; J. N. F. Wilkinson, chairman; Mrs. Grace Hughes, and H. J. Banks. The Rev. Eugene Williams, pastor of the John Stewart Memorial M. E. Church, also appointed on the committee, was absent due to lack of notification. Witness Remonstrates Members of the group narrated how the woman is reputed to have been beaten and dragged to a patrol wagon several days ago while helpless citizens lo ked on. One woman, however, Mrs. Eva Moxley, of 428 Ninth Street, Southwest, who demonstrated with the officer for his treatment of the woman, was charged with interfering with an officer in making an arrest. She was forced to deposit $10 collateral. The case against her was dismissed in police court last week, and the money returned. After Miss Tabbs was hauled to the station, two charges, one of disorderly conduct and one of assaulting an officer, were placed against her. The woman's condition was such upon arrival at the station that she was immediately taken to Providence Hospital and later to Gallinger Hospital. Miss Tabbs is said to be suffering with a mental disease and to be blind in one eye. She was unable to appear in police court to answer the charges against her until this week. Miss Tabbs was then found guilty of disorderly conduct. The charge of assaulting an officer was taken under advisement. Sentence on disorderly conduct charge will be pronounced when disposition is made of the assault charge. Action Held Up Ne definite action in the hand- lier of the charges of brutality against Officer Struder vera promised by Inspector Headley, who is regarded as a stern disciplinarian, until the woman's case had been reviewed by the police court. Just what action then, if any, might be taken was not disclosed. However, Inspector Headley ad- vised the committee to secure the names of all eye witnesses it could. "POLICE business is my work, my profession," declared the inspector at one oilist, "and I'm not going to countenance anything in my district which will embarrass the president of the board of district commissioners, who I have known for 38 years." "Struder Was Sober" The high official also related that he had taken a personal hand in the investigation of the reputed brutality when he learned of it on the evening of its occurrence while that he himself secured the names cruising around his district Inspector Headley also declared of as many witnesses at the scene as possible, and then had gone immediately to the station to observe Struder. Runners that Struder was apparently in a drunken rage at the time of the arrest were denied by the official, who said "he was sober and apparently calm." From other sources it was learned also that upon learning of the incident, the chief had telephoned Captain Sullivan to observe Struder when he came in. Their unanimous opinion was that he was not drinking. What bearing the finding of the police court will have upon further action against the officer is not known, but members of the association assert themselves as determined to see that some punishment is meted out. You don't need to have faith in a doctor to get cured. Remember that a mule has no faith in a veterinary, but he generally gets cured just the same. The average woman driving a car is generally sure she is right and then turns to the left.

Horse Saves Man from Sentenced in Police Court Because the policeman who arrested him did not know what to do with the horse and wagon that entered into the bargain, Taylor Green, 70, escaped prosecution when arraigned before Judge Isaac K.ritt on a charge of grunkenness. Green was arrested Monday when he fell off his wagon on Twelfth Street, Southwest. Traffic Policeman J. E. Bracey, who took him into custody, had to lead the horse and wagon to the station house along with his prisoner, and when he took the stand in Police Court, the officer requested Judge Hitt to let Green go. "I wish you'd release this man, your honor," Bracey said, "cause if you don't, what am I going to do with his horse and wagon?" Judge Hitt saw the logic of that and took Green's personal bond not to repeat the offense.

DECEMBER 7. 1933 CHURCH BORROWS WORLDLY PLANS SAYS MINISTER Rev. E. Newton Decries Lack of Golden Rule in Institutions Those who have come to do the greatest good, who have given their lives to make this world a better place in which to live have met stern opposition, declared the Rev. Edgar Newton in an exhortation before the Baptist Ministers Conference at the Vermont Avenue Baptist Church Monday. Speaking on "The Unwelcome Christ," the Rev. Mr. Newton stressed that Christ is not welcome in our churches, neither in society, business, nor education. The practice of the Golden Rule in all our institutions was advocated by the speaker. "The church is borrowing worldly plans and Christ is unwelcome," averred the Rev. Mr. Newton. Various programs which groups seek to raise money to pay off mortgages and other debts were condemned by the minister. Monopolies Denounced "They say," he continued, "let us carry on until we pay our debt and then Christ will be welcome." Not only is Christ not welcome in church but He is not welcome in business relations stated the Rev. Mr. Newton.

Eugene Williams, Pastor, John Stewart Memorial M.E. Church Text: "The love of money is the root of all evil." Tim. 6:10. The poet Virgil speaking through one of his famous characters exclaims, "Oh cursed love of gold, where wilt thou not drive the hearts of men?" From time immemorial, the lure of gold has held despotic sway over the hearts and minds of men. It was the love of money that impelled the Pharaohs to oppress the Israelites. It was the love of gold that actuated Nebuchadnezzar to erect a wall 300 feet in height, with 100 gates of brass and a swinging garden to gratify the whims of his wife, while millions of destitute persons gazed with awe and amazement. ried Him to Calva The dominant s can commonwealth and race hatred, di their roots in the c Capitalistic That there is s with our economy without saying, ceivable that the t of two certain Am converted into par form 2,000 rows of across the conti York to Californi into silver bars, t than the Washin could be erected.

Is a Medium Only Money in itself is a medium of exchange to be used as a convenience and should not be given first place in the individual or national life.

The Trend of Current Thought and Discussion The dominant sin of the American commonwealth is race prejudice and race hatred, diseases which find their roots in the love of money. Capitalistic Figures That there is something wrong with our economic system goes without saying. It seems inconceivable that the combined assets of two certain American capitalists converted into paper dollars would form 2,000 rows of dollars extended across the continent from New York to California. If converted into silver bars, two towers taller than the Washington Monument could be erected. On the other hand, 11,000,000 men and women are unemployed, thousands of children go to bed hungry every night, and child labor has almost ruined the fabric of our economic and moral structure. Because of staggering financial burdens of possibly 98 per cent of our churches, they have almost lost their evangelical appeal to the masses. The affections of men should not be upon material things alone, for the corroding fingers of time will cause kingdoms and empires to commingle with the dust. We should search for love, justice, mercy, Godliness, and truth—finally, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you." James W.

Three minutes after the opening kick-off, Donald Ray, star halfback of the Cubs, ran around his left end for 20 yards to a touchdown. Then Harden carried the ball over for the extra point. Buster Rector then came in the game and played well. L. Brown, fullback, trumped around his right end for a touchdown later in the game, and the final touchdown was made by Ray, who kicked his own extra point. The outstanding player for the losers was Lawrence Dean. The Cubs gathered in the main building after the game, and rang the bell for their third straight victory. Howard Cubs Black Hearts Webster .

Shag Jones, quarterback for Morris Brown, devastated his opponents throughout the season and reached an unseen high peak in this game over the veteran Carl Ray of Clark University, who also played a great game. Jones's sterling all-around playing and his uncanny ability to pierce the Clark line for touchdowns, easily moved all doubt from the minds of those who watched him that he is the TWELVE --- Sam's Scripts Word picture of a stoope on the way to the 1933 Howard-Lincoln tumbling act at Atlantic City.

RATTLERS,9-6 Blue and White Drops Finale to Intersectional Foe by Field Goal JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Howard University Bisons, of Washington, D.C., lost their final football game of the 1933 season when they were defeated, 9-6, in an intersectionsal contest with the Florida A. and M. College Rattlers from Tallahassee, here last Saturday. A field goal from the 15-yard line in the first period by T. Williams gave the Florida A. and M. College eleven a lead it never relinquished. Trying desperately to score the visitors took to the air in the final quarter, only to see Braddock, Florida A. and M. center, intercept a pass and run 31 yards for a touchdown. The try for point failed. Howard's long-delayed offense finally burst into full bloom on the following kick-off, the Bisons employing a deceptive aerial game and power plays to march deep into enemy territory. A 12-yard pass from Suttler to B. Williams accounted for the Bison touchdown. The try for point was missed. Line-ups and summary: Fla. A.& M. Howard Taylor L.E. Chandler Graves L.T.

BLUEFIELD WINS OVER ST. PAUL BLUEFIELD WINS OVER ST. PAUL By SONNY STRAYHORN LAWRENCEVILLE, Va. — The Big Bad Blues of West Virginia ran rough-shod over a resistless Tiger team here, to carry away the bountiful St. Paul turkey, Thanksgiving Day. St. Paul thus went down to defeat, 32-0. It was altogether a one-sided struggle with the odds all on the Mountaineers' end, and the fact that there was too much Banks, Adams and Flippen. Not once did St. Paul threaten to score, nor did the ball remain in Tiger territory any appreciable length of time. "Jim" Jeter, veteran tackle, and "Gil" Jones, East Orange flash, donned the Orange and Black uniform for the last time, thereby leaving two great gaps in the St. Paul eleven.

This new troop was organized at the Twelfth Street Branch Young Men's Christian Association under the supervision of the boys' work committee of that institution. A total of sixteen recruits have been registered of whom eight have passed the tenderfoot requirements and are officially recognized scouts. The organization of the troop is as follows: Troop Committee; Joseph H. B. Evans, chairman; Campbell C. Johnson, H. K. Howarton, Arthur A. Greene, and Lee W. Johnson. Tenderfoot Scouts are William H. Bethel, Roscoe C. Brown, Jr., Wallace P. Gant, Campbell C. Johnson, Jr., Frank Johnson, Earl Coleman, Elwood B. Payne and Allen Early. Registered candidates are Elmore Brady, Andrew Brown, Goldie Caliver, Merrill Fisher, Frank Hardy, Carl Johnson, James McEddy, and Emory Smith. Lucius E. Young is Scoutmaster. The activities of the troop during November were concentrated on instruction and examination in tenderfoot requirements. All Tenderfoot Scouts participated in a practice hike on November 25, and all participants enthusiastically announced it a joyous success. The troop is glad to render any service possible to the community. The trombone player looks as if he is swallowing his instrument and that gives the audience some satisfaction. JACKETS BOOKED FOR CLASH WITH TREES SUNDAY Local Grid Promoters Card Meeting Between City's Leading Elevens The slim crowd which was in attendance as the Washington Yellowjacket engaged the last travelling Winston-Seem Black Twins at Green Valley Park, last Sunday afternoon, has failed to dampen the order of Doug Smith and Ducky Kemp, erstwhile promoters, who announce the booing of the District's two outstanding sandlot teams for this Sabbath Day afternoon. The small attendance at last Sunday's affair was attributed to overcast skies which threatened to loose a downpour at most any moment, and to the fact that the highly touted Black Twin outfit had been defeated in a Thanksgiving Day game on its own North Carolina grounds. The Willow Tree eleven was the winner over the Winston-Salemites. The next best thing for the local magnates, Smith and Kenn, to do was to book the two teams which had turned back the Twins. This was immediately undertaken, and as a result Sunday's clash between the Insects and the Southwest clan is in the offing. The Trees have shown unexpected strength this year, and the former Pleasant Plains gridiment are not entering the game with too much confidence. They are very anxious to take the measure of the 'Jackets and will doubtless be in a fighting mood when the opening whistle is tooot. Coach Jim Lee's Insects, on the other hand, are anticipating quite a battle, and they too can be expected to put their full strength on the field. A loss would be the first set-back of the season for them. BORDENTOWN WINS OVER STORER IN TITLE GAME Louis Watson's New Jersey Boys Gain First Place in M3A Rating BORDENTOWN, N.J.—In her final game for the M.A.A.A. football championship, Bordentown defeated Storer College today, 7-3, in a contest that stamped Coach Louis Watson's charges as fighters of the most determined sort. A freak play gave the Wildcats their victory touchdown, but they really deserved a win, for they out-rushed Storer two to one from the start to the finish of the game. An attempted punt from his own ten-yard line by Green, enlongated Storer end, went high into the air to fall just over the line of scrimmage. The tricky pigskin bounded backward toward the Storer goal line, carried by a high wind and pursued by Green and Andy Robinson. Bordentown aggressive tackle. As the ball bounded over the goal line, Robinson made a despairate dive and snuggled the sphere to his chest for a touchdown. It was a bitter pill for Storer's cohorts to swallow, for in the first period Green had made a beautiful thirty-five-yard dropkick at a difficult angle to lead 3-0 as the half ended. In the fourth quarter Storer had another golden chance when she recovered a fumbled punt on Ironsides' four-yard line for a first down. The Wildcats showed their best line play of the season as they held on their one foot stripe and recovered on a fumble as Storer crashed for an unsuccessful fourth down. The victory assured Bordentown of first place in the M3A rating, pending application of the Dickinson point system for formal championship award. The lone defeat of the season was at the hands of Downingtown, who later fell victim to both Bowie Normal and Delaware State College. RICHMOND NAMED HAMPTON PILOT RICHMOND NAMED HAMPTON PILOT --- HAMPTON INSTITUTE, Va.—Ivany W. Richmond was last week chosen by his teammates to captain the 1934 Hampton eleven. Since coming to Hampton a little over a year ago, this wonder athlete has been given any number of nicknames. Among them are "Powerhouse" and "The Arkansas Antelope." Neither of these names really do him justice, for he is more than just a powerhouse or an antelope. Perhaps a little "Mule" and some "Steamroller" thrown in would make it better. For "Ike" not only runs around ends and through the line like a house afire, but he also punts consistently above sixty yards, passes nearly the same distance, and drop kicks from anywhere inside the forty-five yard line with a high degree of accuracy. While playing for Hampton, "Powerhouse Ike" has never been injured to the extent that he had to be taken out of the game. Only once in his career has he been taken out and that was during his high school days in Arkansas. His most manner, his splendid personality, and his truly great passing, running, tackling, blocking, and kicking should inspire Hampton on to another CIAA championship. Laugh and the world laughs with you. Smile and some guy will try to borrow five dollars from you.

LIONS IN SOCCER TIE Howard's championship soccer team was held to a scoreless tie here Friday by a fighting Lincoln University eleven. Although most of the game was played in Lincoln territory, and the Bisons threatened several times, the Lions blocked each effort in a dogged manner and held the score. The game was one of the fastest encounters of the season, with both teams showing well in headwork as well as booting. N.C. TWINS LOSE TO YELLOWJACKETS N.C. TWINS LOSE TO YELLOWJACKETS GREEN VALLEY PARK, Va.—With Red Pine Armstrong, former all-high selection from the Armstrong Technical High School football team, leading the way, the Washington Yellowjackets met and defeated a stubborn band of Black Twins, reputed champions of the South, in a 14-0 engagement here, last Sunday afternoon. Skirting the ends and shooting through tackles with remarkable consistency, Armstrong established himself as the mouthpiece of the small group of Washingtonians who journcyed here to witness the game despite the threatening weather conditions. When the gathering broke up, the name of Armstrong was on the lips of even the most passive fans. Standing out for the visitors was Malan, stellar quarterback; Dobson and Bell, halfbacks; and Jeffries, center. It was largely through the efforts of the latter, who reamed up and down behind his line, that the locals were held to two touchdowns. Fresh-Soph Aggregation Conquers Cardogo Junior-Seniors The Freshman-Sophomore elec- ron, coached by Smitt Lucas, varsity quarter-bneL, showed the way to the Junior-Senior outfit, in a game staged by the Cardozo High School athletic department, on the Walker Stadium, last Wednesday afternoon.

The losing team was piloted by Milt Robinson, star halfback of the Purple and White varsity team. District Basket Ball Managers Attention! District Basket Ball Managers Attention!

Chocolate Stops Wallace in Retaining Title Belt CLEVELAND, Ohio—Kid Chocolate, stopped in his attempt to lift the lightweight crown from the head of Tony Canzone, last week, successfully defended his junior lightweight championship in a Christmas Fund Boxing Show, against Frankie Wallace, local battler, here, Monday night. Chocolate won a decision in 10 rounds. There were no knockdowns, but the Cuban sensation was the winner throughout the Pioted by Percy White, former Armstrong High School, of Washington, D.C., and Howard University gridiron star, the Green Wave exhibited a fast, hard running attack which swept into oblivion everything the West Virginians had to offer. Coach Harry Graves' boys seemed to be "on. They did everything just right; timed perfectly all their deceptive plays, blocked with well-nigh perfect precision, and took advantage of every opportunity. The Green and Gold machine entered the game decked favorites, but not even her most ardent supporters looked for such an overwhelming victory. The West Virginiaians did not get a single chance to flash its highly touted running attack. At every call the Wilberforce forward wall presented itself as a stonewall. In variably the Yellowjacket offensive was smothered before it could pass the scrimimage line. Beside showing a marked ability at leading his team, White cavorted in grand style at the quarterback post. It was his last game for his Alma Mater, and the diminutive Washingtonian covered himself with glory running back punts with consistent success, guiding the Ohioans' relentless attack and otherwise exhibiting an undeniable superiority in field generalship. A 39-yard run from kick-off was among his efforts for the afternoon. Star Junius, known to Wilberforce followers as "Little Cresar," shared the spotlight with White. He scored three touchdowns, two of which were negotiated on runs through the entire West Virginia team. One was a jog of 53 yards and the other was good from 58 yards away from goal. Junius's third touchdown was made possible when he plunged over after a 39-yard pass from H. Rain to Williams had placed the ball on the L-ryd ribbon. Terry, Hart, Jenkins, and D. Rains also played important roles in the Forge victory, while the entire West Virginia team played superbly in the face of assured and imminent defeat. Wilberforce W. Virginia Williams.....R.E.

Your path will be crowded with obstacles of every sort, but you must surmount them one by one and let them raise you in the direction of your goal," the pastor said. The service was enlivened by the music of the Macedonia Baptist Church choir of Arlington, Va., which sang "Happy Am L." Mrs. B. L.

Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune For seven long years yours truly has been distinctly partisan to one college football team, the like of which he never expected to gaze upon. Believing that there would never be another aggregation of football players capable of doing the things that this particular pet of his could do on a gridiron, it is unquestionably a fact that he would scorn the person who predicted that the day would come when there would be seen a BETTER team. By such reasoning then, it is to be accepted as a matter of fact that the coach of that truly great team would always live in the memory of yours truly as being a great guy. No man on earth, or who would ever be on earth, could, in the estimation of this writer, match Louis (good ole Doc) Watson in the business of turning out football machines. His 1926 Howard University team, until this past week, was the topmost rung in yours truly's ladder of crack football combinations Today, that team represents my ladder's second rung. Eddie Hurt's 1933 edition of the annual Morgan College gridiron revue has displaced the 1926 Blue and White outfit. Not at all because my evaluation of the Watson-coached aggregation has experienced any decline. Nor because I have forgotten their deeds on the slue behind the reservoir. But because a GREATER team has been introduced. Your correspondent has seen many football games in his going about, but on only one occasion can he remember watching a team (white or black) that manipulated with the smoothness, confidence and determination that the weavers of the Orange and Blue exhibited this past season. Something like a decade ago, a Pennsylvania team, headed by Glenn Killinger, astounded the football populace of the nation with a deception and precision that made every game exciting—the strength or weakness of the foe made no difference. MAYBE that team played with a coordination that was superior to the recent product of Eddie Hurt. But I said maybe they did. Anyone making such an assertion simply invites a challenge. A line that charged fast and tackled with deadly effect served as the advance guard for a backfield patrol which reduced the task of ball-carrying to a fine art. The quartet of Otis Troupe, Brutus Wilson, Captain Tom Conrad and John Sturgis was whipped into a mighty scoring machine, one which appeared capable of calling its yardage and advancing at will. The combination of Jack Celes, Tick Smith, Horse Ross and Ian Brown was a capable one. Let there be no denying of that. But the mastery of just about two-and-a-half times as many offensive plays by the Morgan group allows them to overshadow the 1926 combination with little effort. The Orange and Blue had an assortment of trick laterals that would make an ordinary basketball team sit up and take notice. I might be crowned for saying this, but I honestly believe that the cry that teams in other sections of the country could stop the Bears is just a lot of hoocy. Wilberforce is always good. So is Tuskegee. And so is Langton, and Morris Brown. Of the bunch, I'd take the Ohioans. Then I think I'd be tempted to spot them a touchdown before-sending them in the ring against the Baltimoreans. I do not think that Coach Harry Graves's team is not a humdinger. It really looks top-notch on paper, and according to its performance, the team appears to have been moulded into a stellar combination. But really, folks, those guys out on Hillen Road've got something brand new. Personals Mr. and Mrs. Herman R. Grant motored to Richmond, Va., for the Thanksgiving holidays.

This is not so bad when you take into consideration the absence of two of Freedmen's rollers during the first two games. It appears that several of the members of the team are very important fixtures in one or more of the medical clubs about town. The team is at a disadvantage whenever a club meeting and a scheduled match fall on the same night. The Cosmopolitans continued their winning ways by passing the Franklin for a 3 to 0 defeat. One of the features of this match was the fancy pin-mauling of Lofty of the Franklin. Although he missed many spares by a hair, he grabbed off the high game and high set honors with 131 and 343, respectively. When this maple-spiller gets going the going is going to be tough. In his nine games played to date, he has an average of 106-1 and is topped only by Fisher (Cosmopolitans) who sports an average of 109-1 for the same number of games. Other individual leaders; Payne (Freedman's) leads the strike makers with eight. This quiet mauler is going to give somebody a surprise. The record for the highest number of spares to date is 36, held jointly by Harper and Harry Honesty, both of the Cosmopolitans. This should develop into a good race. Both are far from being slouches in the pinches. | Teams | W | Total | High High | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Cosmopolitans | 16 | 2 | 8847 456 542 152 | | Freedman's | 10 | 11 | 9818 476 151 188 | | Franklin B.A. | 11 | 10 | 2065 420 546 1406 | High team (three games), Cosmopolitans, 1353.

Morgan-Wilberforce Tussle Still an Uncertainty Reports that negotiations had been complied for a post-season championship game between Morgan College and Wilberforce University football teams, were denied by Edward N. Wilson, registrar of the Baltimore school, late this week. Mr. Wilson stated, in a telephone conversation with the Tribune, that although Coach Harry Graves, of the Ohio school, was in conference with Morgan officials, Sunday, no definite agreement had been reached for the promotion of the proposed contest. He declared that Mr. Graves was in Washington during the greater part of the week seeking to have the game financed, but that no word had been received by Morgan as to the result of his efforts.

Once again the Hornets of State Teachers' College were frustrated in their efforts to turn back the mighty Tuskegee Tigers but more than 7,000 excited fans were treated to a gridiron battle of daring and skill yesterday afternoon at Cramton Bowl in the tenth annual contest between these rivals. Tuskegee overcame State's 7 to 0 half time lead and crashed over two tallies i the third period to obtain a 24 to 7 conquest that carried with it the undisputed championship of the Negro Southern Conference and a claim for the national diadem. Aroused in the early minutes of the game, the Hornets surged into a quick lead when M. Brown downed a State punt on Tuskegee's one-yard line. Wesley and Parker crashed through and blocked Adams's punt and Wesley recovered behind the Tiger goal for the touchdown. Mills booted the extra point. Tuskegee took the kickoff to open the third period and gained a total of 80 yards without yielding the pigskin. This attack was powerful with the State tackles taking a pounding all the way. Few teams could have stopped such a massacre. L. Johnson was the spearhead in the drive and he Morgan Humbles 40-0 in 1933 Se Tank Conrad Leads Mates to pionship in Three Years; Peter Match for Morganites; Bear --- BALTIMORE, Md. — The Morgan Bears lowered the curtain on the 1933 football season with a 40-0 victory over Va. State College at Burie Field, here on Thanksgiving Day. Morgan's mighty "Tank" Conrad led his ferocious Bears into battle for the if his four years of sterling grid last time and again turned victorious. The clash marked the end play for Morgan. The initial score of the game came when Trape intercepted a pass from Payne on Morgan's 14-yard line and raced down the left side 88 yards for the touchdown. Crawford's place-kick for the extra went wide. The final period offered a chance to see the greater part of Morgan's reserves in action. For Morgan's second sling backfield, Jordan, Gibbs, Taylor, and Lewis, gained commendation for their work on the offensive. Morgan's regular backs repeated their usual outstanding work as two of them, Corrad and Wilson, fought their last grid battle for their Alma Mater. Jim Williams, "Shipp" PHILA.

Marching down the field, the Tigers struck into State's scoring zone and two Tiger subs raced in. On the second play, Smith cut fast across the Hornet goal and took a cool, deliberate pass from Adams. Smith added the point. Tuskegee continued to thrash, even until the final whistle with fresh players leading the march into the shadow of State's goal. But State never quit and took its defeat like a real sport.

Basketball League Opening Uncertain Although the card for the opening night has been drawn up, and players of the contesting teams are anxiously awaiting the barrier release, officials of the Government Backball League are not so sure that the 1933 court season will get under way at time. Minor difficulties appear to be hampering the definite resistance, according to reports of loop officers. Members of the Government Printing Office, State Department, Municipal, Army War College, Commerce and Treasury teams are ready to take the floor once the final okay for the season's play is forthcoming. Prior to his temporary withdrawal from the office of president, Chick Webb, frequently registered complaints over the slowness with which department teams were responding to the appeal of the league to take out franchises. Webb was conspired to withdraw his attention from the activities of the organization because of illness in his family.

CAPITAL BUS TERMINAL 633 F St. N.W. Opposite Hecht Co. Phone District 4224 THE NATION WIDE ShortLine SYSTEM NEW YORK—Dispatches from Montevideo, Uruguay, where the Pan American conference opened Sunday, Indicated that the Haitian government intended to make a strong effort to force the United States to relinquish its control of Haitian finances. The opening gun in the fight was fired by the labor member of the Haitian delegation, M. Pierre Paul. He said that his delegation would seek to have the conference pass a resolution calling upon the United States to end its financial as well as military control of Haiti. At the same time, President Stonio Vincent seems to have been writing to President Roosevelt with the same matter in mind. President Roosevelt's reply indicates that the United States will resist the attempt to dislodge it from control of the Haitian government's money boxes. Both the Roosevelt and Vincent correspondence is couched in the politest, friendliest, diplomatic language which does not conceal the intention nor feeling of either of the officials. M. Vincent says that he hopes the United States "will be able to renounce a useless financial control in Haiti by a spontaneous act which would be the most eloquent affirmation of a common will toward friendship, better understanding, inter-American economic co-operation and collaboration of the well-being, respectively, of the nations of the three Americans." Roosevelt Answers ROSEVEN Answers President Roosevelt, in his answer, expressed the greatest friendliness for Haiti, but feels that "unescapable treaty obligations prevent immediate withdrawal of the United States financial administration from Haiti, unless a refunding arrangement can be evolved satisfactory to the holders of $12,000, 000 of Haitian bonds." The President's response, of course, shows how different the United States' attitude can be in cases where big and little nations are involved. The nations of Europe owe the United States billions of dollars, but the government does not try to impose a financial dictatorship on Great Britain or France or Germany or Russia. But because it can do so with no injury to itself and at no expense, it will insure the sovereignty of a small nation like Haiti and defend the seizure with a lot of talk about debts and treaties, forgetting to mention the fact that the treaty authorizing the Haitian loan was forced upon that country and the loan provision in it was made to satisfy investors through the National City Bank of New York. Acting Secretary of State Phillips writes Harry F. Ward, chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union, that he is wrong to presume that Haiti's present debt is to the National City Bank. That's true, but Haiti's debt now was occasioned by her previous obligations to the National City bank, incurred in the latter's foreign expansion program.

In the span of her 30-year service, Miss Wormley has taught in practically every department of the institution, and has seen it grow from a two-year normal school with less than 100 students to an accredited teachers' college with an enrollment of more than 500 students. She has witnessed a teaching staff of five members increase to a faculty of 30. Rounded Out Education During the years, Miss Wormley has been a close student of her work and has contributed much to the development of the institution. She has studied at Cook, County Normal School, Howard University, New York University, Columbia University, and the University of Maine. Her most outstanding contributions have been, in the field of reading and children's literature, in her power to inspire young teachers to improve their technique.

THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1933 Pomp and Ceremony Mark Final Rites For Slain D. C. Sportsman Flowers Tossed on Body of George S. Hatch by Mourning Friends NEARLY FIFTY CARS IN FUNERAL MARCH Children of Victim to be Cared for by Former Employers With friends tossing fresh-eat flowers, first into the open casket and then into the grave along with the earth, George S. Hatch, 39, reputed lieutenant in the firm of Dade, Nash and Dade, local sportsmen and alleged numbers bankers, was laid to rest amid pomp and ceremony, last Sunday afternoon. A caravan of nearly 50 automobiles accompanied the body of the popular murdered man to its final resting place in the Lincoln Memorial Cemetery. Hatch was shot to death by one of three youthful bandits who held up him and John Waters, of 3019 Thirteenth Street, Northwest, at the corner of Seventh and T Streets, late last week. Waters was compelled to give up more than $20 to the trio, which later escaped. Funeral services were held from Frazier's Funeral Home with a host of admirers of Hatch in attendance. A huge basket of carnations was given by the deceased man's former employers. From this a flower was handed to each person who passed in front of the remains. These flowers were dropped into the coffin as their bearers turned to leave it. The same procedure was followed at the cemetery, the carnations being dropped into the open grave just prior to the interment. Joseph Maxwell, proprietor of Maxwell's Book Store, and a friend of both Hatch and his employers, handed the flowers around. The funeral, one of the largest tendered a layman in Washington in the past decade, was presided over by the Rev. J. M. Marshall. Hatch was eulogized and his window and two children comforted. Pallbearers were Albert Dade, Louis A. Jackson, Mose Craword, Joseph Jenkins, Fred Woods, and Robert Harvey. Honorary pallbearers were A. M. Scott, Carl Dean, Peyton Manning, John Carter, Lawrence Hall, and William Prather. The two children left by Hatch will be provided for in a trust fund established by the firm of Dade, Nash and Dade, The Tribune was told, Wednesday. As long as the firm remains in business, a weekly allowance will be turned over to the children. LINCOLN Seven-Passenger Sedan $95 Balloon tires. Runs and looks good.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL tainous Hendersonville, N.C., was one of the bright spots of the show. Miss Mabley, you know, (or did you?) is the ace of our stage female funsters, and her work this week is true to style. And as one Tar Heel to another, we're proud of the little girl. Bessie Smith, who made the blues what they are today, is none the less better for her consistent service to her art. The inenable Jelli Smith, a local man, is doing well for himself, too. The band was Hy Clark's Missourians, a new unit to local boards, and the lads got off to a fine D.C. introduction, with some well rendered tunes. A fast dancing chorus rounded out the show. Before concluding, I want to use this space especially to welcome back Jazzlips Richardson, who made his bow on the Howard stage, after a successful trip across the pond. His act, although undisturbed by any new features, is still "different" enough to be refreshing, and that's good, for so many other "repeats" are tiresomely boresome. "Footlight Parade" at the Raphael lived up to all its advance notices by its mighty glamor, and satisfied the tastes of the most exacting patrons who witnessed it at the Ninth Street house. When an autoist passes a sign on the road which reads "Men at Work," he drives by very carefully so he can get a good view of the unusual sight.
