Smith, former auditor of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company, to secure the company in the sum of $450,000. The notes secured by the deed of trust were subsequently put up as collateral with Sanders, to secure a loan obtained from Sanders in the sum of $205,000, the notes being due and payable to the National Benefit three years after date.

According to the story, Miss Lincoln first applied to the Freedmen's Hospital on last Friday. She told Dr. R. M. Coleman, in charge of emergency cases, that she decided to seek medical attention when her head continued to ache her.

Her sister, Miss Mattie Lincoln, was also attending at the time of the affair. All had been drinking. After examining the wound on the woman's head, Dr. Coleman admitted her to the hospital. She remained there until Tuesday when her actions attracted the attention of physicians and nurses. They immediately decided that her case would require a transfer to Gallinger. Meanwhile police are holding Kelly, whom they arrested last Saturday, pending the final outcome of the injuries. No charge has been placed against him yet. BUILDERS ASK FOR JOBS IN REPAIR SHOP 'Stating that of the 135 skilled mechanics employed by the District Repair Shop, not one is colored, the National Builders' Association, an organization of Negro mechanics, architects, and engineers, protested this week against the lily-white policy of L. C. Wormington, superintendent of the shop, and requested his removal from office. The association, through its president, Howard D. Woodson, pointed out in its petition that considerable embarrassment was caused when white repair and maintenance men were sent to work in colored schools where such trades are taught. A committee, sent to interview Mr. Wormington last week, reported that his attitude toward the hiring of Negro workers was decidedly unfavorable, and that little could be expected from him in the way of fair treatment. According to the committee's report, Mr. Wormington stated definitely that no Negro mechanics were employed in or by the Renair Shon. When asked why this was so, he replied: "Nigger" Mechanics "It's because I do not believe in the association of white and colored mechanics, and I do not believe that nigerian mechanics are efficient.

C. Austin, president, was sent to Washington to adjust the matter in a specially arranged conference with U. S. Postmaster Farley and Senator J. Hamilton Lewis. The move was brought to the attention of the conference when Mrs. Fern Williams, one of the discharged employees sought redress through the "Vigilante" Committee of the conference. Investigation made by a committee revealed the fact that 60 Negro women, who had served in the department from 5 to 28 years, had received the following form letters of discharge: "Dear Madam: "Recent investigations of the Custodial Service of Chicago, Illinois, with special reference to the fitness of employees, disclosed that you are apparently not performing a full measure of service, and your general efficiency is regarded as being below the level usually, deemed essential to retention in the service.

The committees' plans include, first of all, a thorough survey of the various positions now held by Negroes. These figures will be compared with figures for previous years, and a reasonable quote will be worked out for each department. Ways and means of reaching the desired quotas will then be studied before the final drive gets under way. Mrs. Woolsey W. Hall Dies Suddenly Charlotte Hall, wife of Woolsey W.

SCOTT ENDORSED BY SENATOR FORD Local Elks Also Favor Local Attorney for Municipal Judge Armond W. Scott, local attorney, was endorsed by Senator Thomas F. Ford, of California, for Municipal Court judge this week as the fight for the post among several local aspirants gained renewed vigor. In a letter to President Roosevelt, Senator Ford said: "I wish to endorse the candidacy of Mr. Armond W. Scott, ef Washington; for appointment as Municipal Court judge. Confident as I am that Mr. Scott's credentials will prove his entire fitness for the office he seeks. I ask that he be given every consideration." "New Deal" Favors Scott Following on the heels of this letter to the President, the New Deal, official organ of the Associated Colored Young People's Democratic Clubs of America, a nationally monthly magazine of political opinion, wrote to Postmaster General James A. Farley urging the appointment of Mr. Scott. Elks Endorse Scott Morning Star Lodge of Elks added its approval to the selection of Mr. Scott by the following letter which was sent to President Roosevelt: "It is therefore a source of unusual pleasure to commend for your very deep consideration the name of our son, Attorney Armond W. Scott, of Washington, D.C., whom we unequivocally endorse for the position of judge in the Municipal Court to succeed the present incumbent." Term Ends Sunday The term of Judge James A. Cobb, a Republican, expires on March 18. Others who are seeking the position are Emory Smith, former director of publicity, Howard University; R. R. Horner, a local attorney; and Judd, Cobb, who is seeking re-election. PULLMAN PORTERS COULD BE PAID $160 MONTH The cry of the Pullman Company that it is unable to give its porters and maids a decent wage and reduce their work time to that of other railroad workers is not borne out by the munificent salaries paid the top officials and the cash and extra dividends apportioned among the stockholders. A. Philip Randolph, national president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, stated to The Tribune this week. According to Randolph, a recent survey made by Dr. Edward Berman, of the Department of Economics of the University of Illinois, revealed that during the last six depression years the company issued in stock dividends alone a sufficient amount of wealth to pay Pullman porters a wage of $160 a month for the next forty years. In order to pay the wage scale which the Brotherhood is demanding for this porters, which consists of $140 minimum, $145 for two to five years' service, $150 for five to ten years' service, and $160 for over fifteen years' service; it would cost the Pullman Company only about $4,000,000 annually, Randolph said. Several times this amount is sent out each year in dividends, on stock, while the porters' pay has been constantly decreased, he added. Leon Williams is First Colored Man to Meet With NRA Disfavor The blue eagle was ordered taken away from Leon Williams, owner of the Dollar Dry Cleaners 1731 Seventh Street, Northwest, by General Hugh S. Johnson, N.R.A. administrator last Friday. This is the first instance in which a colored business has had its eagle taken away since the NRA has been in operation. Charges Code Violation The telegram from General Johnson to Mr. Williams follows: "The code authority for, the cleaning and dyeing trade recommends removal of your blue eagle for violating the code for the cleaning and dyeing trade by selling cleaning and dyeing services at less than the prices established for your trade area. "The National Compliance Board in Washington has affirmed the findings and the recommendations of the code authority. In view of your failure to comply with the code you will surrender to the post master at Washington all NRA insignia in your possession including all insignia of your plant, and retail outlets, and you will hereafter refrain from using the blue eagle at your plant, and retail outlets and in advertising and in any other manner whatsoever."

The Tribune learned late this week. Attorney Henry A. Gilligan, board member who led the fight against the issuance of the license to Kraft, declared that in all probability pressure would be brought to bear on the control board in an effort to have the permit recalled. Kraft operates in the vicinity of the Morgan School and was granted a license prior to the board's adoption of the policy opposing liquor sales within 400 feet of public school buildings. In the same way that the A.B.C. granted a license to a merchant near a colored school following the first hearing in the matter, a colored school was also involved in the denial of a license to a merchant within close proximity of another colored school in the most recent hearing. Attorney Benjamin L. Gaskins, counsel for the Temple Luncheonette and Drug Company, Teeth and U Streets, Northwest, made clear his intention of seeking the assistance of the courts in compelling the board to issue a license to his client. The application of the Temple Luncheonette management was refused following protests by citizens of the community and the Board of Education. Attorney Henry I. Quinn, another board member and who is in charge of the committee designed to protest liquor flow near schools, had appealed to the A.B.C. to deny licences to applicants operating within 400 feet of school buildings. Has a General Policy The board decided, Wednesday, on a general policy not to grant licenses to 'places within 400 feet of any portion of school grounds. At the same time it established a general policy against the granting of licenses to places beyond the (Continued on page 2) Metropolitan A.M.E.

As chairman of the anniversary committee, Mrs. Julia West Hamilton, whose membership in the church extends over a period of fifty years, will have charge of arrangements. Separates From White Church The Metropolitan A.M.E. Church came into being as an outgrowth of the dissatisfaction which occurred in Ebenenezer Methodist Episcopal Church, white, about 1820. The separation of colored members from this church first led to the organization of the Israel African Methodist Episcopal Church in 1821, by the Rev. David Smith, a member of the Baltimore Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Metropolitan Church was an outgrowth of these two organizations. Organized as a separate congregation in 1838, it was then known as Union Bethel African Methodist Episcopal Church. Organization meetings were held in the homes of one Mr. Bolden and Mrs. Celia Simms, the mother of John A. Simms, Sr., during the years immediately following the Civil War. Under the second administration of the Rev. James A. Handy, the church assumed a distinct place in the life of the community. Church Begun in 1885 By order of the general conference in 1872, Union Bethel became Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. When the Rev. John Stevenson became pastor in 1880, the first steps were taken towards the erection of the present edifice. The basement was opened for worship on November 8, 1885, and the dedication ceremonies were conducted on May 30, 1886, eight bishops of the church being present under the leadership of the then Senior Bishop A. W. Wayman and Dr. J. A. Handy, the financial secretary, for Metropolitan Church was now recognized as the national church of the African Methodist Episcopal denomination. Dr. T. G. Stewart was the first pastor who served in the new building. The trustees at this time were: William Beckett, Thomas H. Wright, James Washington, Jeremiah Johnson, James E. Smith, George R. Dollay, Henry Wood, W. H. S. Ease, James Dean, and John A. Simms, Sr., secretary. Dr. Stewart has been succeeded as pastor by the following ministers in order: the Rev. John G. Mitchell, the Rev. John T. Jenifer, Dr. John Albert Johnson, later bishop; Dr. D. J. Hill, Dr. O. J. W. Scott, later chaplain in the United States Army; Dr. John W. Welch, Dr. I. N. Ross, later bishop; Dr. C. M. Tanner, during whose administration the $14,000 mortgage deed was burned before an enthusiastic congregation; Dr. C. E. Stewart, now president of Kittrell College; and the Rev. William H. Thomas is now serving as pastor. Throughout this period since 1838, the Metropolitan Church has been a beacon light for African Methodists in the United States and the center of important local and national assemblies of representatives of Negroes throughout the nation. Few white collar workers appreciate the joy that efficient tools bring to a good mechanic, nor the damage to his nerve fiber that results from trying to make the best of equipment which should have been on the scrap heap long ago. Concert by Ministers is Feature of Program A concert sponsored by the Rev. J. P. Nichols under the auspices of the Helping Hand Club, was presented Wednesday. The program consisted of recitations, instrumental and vocal solos, and addresses and original poems. Those taking part were the Rev. Walter Brooks, pastor of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church; Dr. E.

Philadelphia Baptist Church Changes Name "To Get Rid of Odium' PHILADELPHIA.—(CNS)—To get rid of the odium attached to the name "Star of Bethlehem" the Baptist church located at the corner of 56th and Vine Streets, in this city has changed its name to the Jehovah-Jireh Baptist Church. Its pastor the Rev. J. E. Philpot, ex-president of the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Philadelphia and vicinity told of the changes as follows: "The persons who left Mt. Carmel Baptist Church five years ago, and formed the Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church, so conducted their church affairs that they gave the church a bad name. "N. rly hundred of them left the Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church, around three years ago and organized the Provident Baptist Church. They finally disbanded that church. But the public continues to believe that the brethren worshipping at 56th and Vine Streets, are the same group that came out of Mt. Carmel some years ago, and we were spoken of in that light so often that the church decided to get rid of the odium attached to that name representing a certain happening in the church of West Philadelphia, and also misleading to the public. Without one dissenting vote we decided to change the name of Star of Bethlehem Baptist Church to Jehovah-Jireh Baptist Church. "The new church voted to assume every financial obligation of the old church." Memorial Services to Be Held at Howard U.

Public School News A little sunshine, A little rain, A little pleasure, A little pain, A little freedom, A little care, A little food, And clothes to wear. A little smile, A little tear, A little boost, A little jeer, A little case, A little strife, All of these Make up LIFE. So whether rich Or whether poor You'll get your share And what is more You'll never be happy Until you're sad, Never in want Unless you have had. There's never a day Without a night, And never a harvest Without its blight; There's not a flower Without the seed, Nor any real thought Without the deed. So do your part While time is rife— For all of this Is merely "LIFE."

TERRELL Boys Serve Friends The Boys' Club is to be highly commended for the open house affair given on March 8, at which time the members of the club acted as hosts to their friends and parents. Melvin Givens, James Marshall, Lorenzo Brown, Thaddeus Rattley, Andre Masciana, Samuel Robinson, Grattan Graves, Frances Johnson, and Vernon Jackson served the guests with cocoa and cookies. A Game Party Section 9B3 has organized itself into a Variety Club which takes charge of the seventh hour in the home room on Tuesday. Last Tuesday, a parlor game party was given. The members brought games in which a number of children could take part. Checkers, whist, electric questionnaire, pinning the tail on the donkey, and big saw puzzles were the most enjoyed during the hour. Mrs. A. M. Tyson is the section teacher of this group. The graduating classes 9B3 and 9B4 are meeting once a week for vocational guidance. At present they are making a survey of a number of occupations now open to them. Special emphasis is being made on local opportunities for employment. The purpose of this course is not to lead pupils to an immediate decision as to what their life's work shall be—that decision, for many, will not be made for some years yet; the aim is to give pupils a method of study by which they may later choose their life's work wisely and to help them make their first steps in that study.

"Can you get me a job?" is the question asked almost daily at the information desk of the Phyllis Wheatley Y.W.C.A. Often it is a young girl just out of school (or of that age) with no special training to qualify her for any particular kind of work. With the hope of inspiring our young girls to prepare for doing something more than "a job" attention is called to some women who are in business. MRS. REGINA CHANDLER In these days of unemployment when so many are applying for the few available jobs, it is not possible for some to make a business for themselves? It requires faith and foresight.

Dunbar students are looking forward to have dances at their school. Basing their arguments on what other schools are doing, several hundred students signed a petition and sent it to the principal. Everyone seems to be watching for results. Let's hope that they will be good ones! To keep the students in good humor, why not let them hold a dance at least one a month. What-do-you-say-to-that-professor? It is said that Burton Johnson, a lieutenant in the cadet corps, may achieve success on the stage. Halley Taylor, lieutenant-colonel of Dunbar and an amateur actor, may take all cadet honors this year. Let's hope so, Taylor! Morris Murray is one of the outstanding amateur singers at Dunbar. Jean Taylor and Louse Foster, who starred recently in the play, "Campbell of Kilmohr," may continue their dramatics in later life. Keep up the good work, girls! Miss Mary L. Europe, teacher of the music department, has one of the leading and best glee clubs of the city. She has the brain. Inez Hyson, a senior, has had eight different English teachers during her four-year stay at Dunbar. The Red Cross Chapter at Dunbar will soon join the International Red Cross Society.

Why did a certain girl cry at a dance recently? I think Paul Russell knows. Mrs. Chandler came to Washington from Virginia. Before the recent war when sewing and dress-making were more in demand and money more plentiful, she worked in a shop near Columbia Road and Eighteenth Street. From here she says her work went to China and many foreign places, as she sewed for diplomats and others of that class. While working in this shop she had a desire and determination to have a business of her own and began with only one machine for kensitching and pictoting and buttonhole-making. She was thus engaged for ten years, when she decided to enlarger her business by making dresses, lingerie and other wearing apparel for women and children. To this she added notions and a shirt hospital. Mrs. Chandler is a widow and uses the front room of her home for her shop and thus reduces her overhead expenses and is able to combine business and her home duties under one roof. Alone and without funds, Mrs. Chandler could not have succeeded had she not had confidence in herself and that essential quality for business success - stick-to-itiveness.

This is the same team that defeated the Heurich Brewers last Sunday in the George Washington gym in two extra periods. They will present Tubba Farrell, Dick Streets, Ralph Bennie, Joe Sweeney, and Jake Goldblatt. Just how good they will look against that all-powerful combination of Fats Jenkins, Saitch, Tarzan Cooper, Bill Yancey, and Pappy Ricks remains to be seen. It must also be remembered that the Heurich Brewers, pro baskets who were defeated by the Rinaldi Tailors is the same team that threw a scare into the powerful Trenton Moose Club of the American Professional League. A large crowd is expected to be on hand and the promoters of the game, ever mindful of the surging mob that nearly wrecked the Masonic Temple at the last Renaissance game, have taken extra precautions and will erect 16 rows of circus seats the entire length of the Colonnade, which will boost the seating capacity to about 1,200 persons. There will be a preliminary game starting at 8:30, and the big attraction should get under way at 9:30 sharp.

The trials were held Saturday in the University of Chicago Field House. Ward won his heats in the dash trials, triumphing over a host of Big Ten speedsters handily. He then returned to the cinders to win the 70-yard high hurdles without much difficulty. Indiana, the defending champion, picked to battle the Wolverines for the title, took five places, with Illinois, the "dark horse" possibility, getting the same number. Ohio State and Iowa placed four men each, Northwestern and Wisconsin had three each, Purdue two and Minnesota one. Only Chicago failed to get a man past the preliminary tests.

NEWS OF THE SPORT WORLD Champion Atlantic City Team To Meet Dunbar Basketers Apex A.C., Winners of Senior League Title at Seashore Y.M.C.A., Carded by Local Scholastics; Poets' Eyes Focussed on Nationals Plans have just been completed for a two-game series between the Dunbar High School basketball team and the Atlantic City Apex, a team composed of boys of high school age who have just won the Senior League title at the New Jersey resort's Arctic Avenue Branch Y.M.C.A. The announcement was made late this week by P. L. Jacobs, coach of the local scholastic team, who seemed elated over the prospect of having his squad matched with a Northern aggregation. The booking of the Atlantic Cityans climaxed a season's effort to replace the Howard High School, of Wilmington, Delaware, on the Poet schedule. It also promised to solve the problem of how the Crimson and Black team would be sent to the National Interscholastic Basketball Tournament. Dunbar Cage 5 Scares H.U. Poets Drop 20-15 Tilt Only After Stiff Battle The Howard University varsity Since severing relations with the Blue and White institution, along with other local members of the South Atlantic High School Athletic Conference, Dunbar, through Jacobs, has been negotiating with various teams in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware, but until this week to no avail. The series with the Apex will serve a two-fold purpose. Beside affording the Northern competition he has been seeking, the Dunbar mentor hopes to use the receipts from the game here to help defray the expenses of Dunbar to the championships at Garv. Ind., the latter part of this month. Efforts are being made to stage the game on the Cardozo High School court, next Friday afternoon. The Poets journey to Atlantic City. Saturday of this week, for the first of the two games. INTRA-MURALS ON AT ARMSTRONG INTRA-MURALS ON AT ARMSTRONG By WAYMAN BROWN AMONG THE GIRLS: The senior sections are striving to take the championship title. The opening game was played Thursday. The contestants were Sections C8 and D8. The fast shooting C8 defeated D4 by a neat score of 19 to 3. In the second game of the day, Section E7 defeated D7 by a score of 4 to 1. The last game of the day was played by the winners of the two groups, Sections C8 and D7. From the start to the finish, it was an excellent game. It was a hot struggle for both teams, and at the end of the first half the score was 2 to 2. The game ended in favor of the lower class by a close score of 3 to 2. The outstanding players of the day were Cecelia Cawford, Mazie Freeland, Shorty Carrington, Mary Ellen Smith, Doris (Babe) Dudley, and Sure Shot Diggs. **** AMONG THE BOYS: Section C4 defeated the fast-shooting C3. The outstanding players on the championship team are Rip Lucas, Dallas Pauls, and Sleepy Boston. The score was 18 to 4 in favor of the upperclassman. This was the most interesting game of the week. The champions of the sophomore division expect to take the school title. Other games played during the week were: Section C3 defeated D3 by a score of 6 to 4; Section E3 defeated F3 by a score of 11 to 8; Section C3 again won over Section E3 by a neat score of 11 to 4.

Baseball will probably be used in the third drill scheduled for Monday night in the Yum THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1934 Dunbar Repeats in Virginia Tournament; Weather Fails to Stop Ceremony Poets Drop 20-15 Tilt Only After Stiff Battle The Howard University varsity basketball team scored a post-season victory over the Dunbar High School cage outfit, in the Dunbar gymnasium, on Monday afternoon. The Collegiens emerged on the long end of a 20-15 decision after an uphill fight, the result of which remained in doubt until the last few minutes. With their full strength save the services of Showboat Ware, the Hilltopppers were played off their feet throughout the first three quarters of the game. The combination of Wynne, Carter, Pinn, Reid, and McArthur, handicapped by the small Dunbar court, was unable to shake themselves lose for scores. As a result, the Crimson and Black went into a lead early in the game and remained there until the final quarter had been entered. Fighting much after the fashion in which they met C.I.A.A. opponents, the Bisons entered the last period, an eight-minute affair, trailing by a point. The necessity of calling on all they had in reserve to subdue an ambitious high school aggregation, lusty for the victory that was all but within its grasp, became plain Tom Reid, therefore out of the Howard offensive, made his presence known by slipping down first one sideline then the other to cage two run-up shots. Intra-Mural Basketball Starts at Dunbar Intra-mural basketball began at Dunbar High School Monday. Many sections composed of boys have entered teams in both heavy and lightweight classes. Victory Fourth Straight for Lynchburg High School Basketers PETERSBURG, Va. — A cold, damp snow which began falling early in the morning and continued throughout the day and into the night failed to chill or dampen the ardor of 2,000 spirited fans who crowded into the Virginia State College gymnasium to watch the Dunbar High School, Lynchburg, Va., snatch the honors in the Seventh Annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, here last Saturday night. The victory was achieved over the Armstrong High School, Richmond representative, in a well-played final game. It was the fourth successive triumph for the Lynchburg high school, and was won by a score of 41-30. The Booker T. Washington High School, of South Boston, Va., carried off the decision in the finals of Class B, defeating a much improved Robert R. Moten High School team of Farmville. Dunbar, presenting a veteran team, went into the finals under wraps. During the first three rounds of play, the Lynchburg clan experienced little difficulty withstanding the challenge of those teams who would dethrone them. Meeting the Phenix High School team, of Hampton, in the semi-final round, Dunbar came through with scarcely more than a scratch. The Hamptonians, handicapped by the loss of all save one of their 1983 team, started their game with Dunbar with a determined vigor. After the first quarter had been played on a fairly even basis, however, the Lynchburgers drew away to win handily. As the game went into its later stages, Phenix succeeded in offering little opposition. Armstrong, on the other hand, had to fight its way into the finals hardly chinning out a one point win. Looking 'em Over by SAM LACY With the Tribune It is very seldom that the occasion arises when a donor is to be criticized. We do not as a rule enter into a controversy with the man who is giving something away. And even when we are somewhat displeased about something involved in the giving away of this thing, the customary thing is to spare no effort to conceal that dissatisfaction which we have. As one of the officials's of the Seventh Annual Interscholastic Tournament, sponsored by the Virginia State College last week-end, I was asked to help select the most sportsmansly player among the boys taking part in the affair. The one selected was to receive the "sportsmanship award," presented each year by the Athletic Association of the University. Pondering over the thing, I brought myself to believe that there was a benefactor who, not deserving condemnation or criticism, should at least be reprimanded for imposing such a burden on any one person or—for that matter—group of persons. I take this opportunity, then, to attack the Virginia State College Athletic Association and tournament committee. Gentlemen, consider yourselves scolded. Trying to select one of those youngsters who played in the tournament just closed for the purpose of pointing him as the best sport in the whole crowd is a stupendous task, and one that I honestly believe will never be handled capably. It is beyond reason to expect that a particular boy can be singled out as the TRUEST athlete when there were none who were brazenly false. Twenty-seven high schools, each with eight players constituting its team, took part in the Seventh Annual Tournament. A total, therefore, of 216 youngsters showed themselves at some time or on the floor. All of them were eligible for the award. Of the 216 participants there were 215—not merely good but EXCELLENT—sports insofar as we were able to determine. If the official wants to appear conscientious in carrying out his duty as judge he must be sure to name one youngster who might have attracted the attention of the crowd. In other words, his selection will not be respected by the major portion of the rabble unless the individual he picks has shown to that rabble that he is above the average athlete in the matter of sportsmanship. This, then, calls for a certain amount of showmanship on the part of the boy. And showmanship, we must all agree, is a trait that is not, in itself, sportsmanly. As an example, let us take the two lads to whom the competition was narrowed as the tournament entered its final stages. One was a youth from a backwoods high school, who, acknowledging his clumsiness in trying to stop opposing sharp-shooters, smiled each time a foul was called on him. The other was from a city institution. He nodded his head with each accusation by the official of a misplay on his part. On being disqualified for fouling in the most crucial game in which his team participated this latter youngster walked to each of the two officials and shook their hands. It looked good to the crowd and they cheered him more loudly than if he had just shot the winning basket. But to the officials it was plainly a gesture at showmanship. By them it might have been interpreted as a frank appeal. It isn't natural for an athlete—no matter how good a sport he is—to thank you for cutting him out of the game. That there was some desire for personal gain behind this gesture cannot be questioned. Sham and selfishness are two of the major essentials in the make-up of a POOR sport. He was eliminated. For two full days the contesting teams battled one behind another in the hope of carrying some sort of trophy back to the building their colors represented. Such a grind will inevitably tax the nerves of players and officials alike, either one of which might be easily provoked during that period. If they were provoked, the boys failed to show it in either deliberate fouling with harmful intent or in registering dissatisfaction with officials' decisions. And if they were provoked, there was no cause for the officials to believe that the boys were displeased at their work. Two hundred fifty gold medals for sportsmanship would be quite an expensive donation. In only this respect has the Virginia State College overdone itself in its splendid tournament promotions. Va. Coaches Organize Athletic Association PETERSBURG Va.—Organization of a state-wide athletic association was practically completed at a meeting of coaches and representatives from the 27 high schools participating in the seventh annual Interscholastic Basketball Tournament, held at Virginia State College, here last week-end. The meeting was held, Saturday, under the direction of James E. Barnes, tournament director. Fred Lawson, coach of Addison High School, Roanoke; Coach Seay, of Dunbar High School, Lynchburg, and Buek Neilson, coach of the Phenix High School, Hampton, led the movement. tory over Addison, the Roanoke delegate. The latter, last year's finalists, trailed from the beginning of their game with the outfit from the Virginia capital. A rally which brought them from far behind and deadlocked the game in the final minutes was avoided when an Addison guard committed a foul on an Armstrong player just prior to the final whistle. The free throw was successful. Washington Pirates Hold Meeting; Want Games Old players of the Washington Pirates baseball team have been ordered to report for a special meeting to be held at 615 W Street, Northwest, Friday night.

Inclement weather which had expected to remove some of the spirit from the tournament final game and some of the color from the ball which follows it each year did not have such an effect. Instead, the high school co-eds vis. with each other in the general aim to bring the "crowning of the tournament champion" up to its usual par. Headed by Miss Virginia Poole Foster, president of the College Women's Athletic Association, the 27 sponsors paraded into the gymnasium just before the starting whistle sent the Dunbar and Armstrong teams, of Lynchburg and Richmond, respectively, into the deciding game. Miss Foster, acting as official hostess of the tournament, wore only an attractive evening gown. She did not follow the customary procedure of dressing as "Miss Virginia State." The hostesses were escorted to their seats in the reserved box by members of the Virginia State College Letter Club. President John M. Gandy, who had welcomed the guests earlier in the afternoon, along with his wife, were already seated in the section. Upon the arrival of the young ladies and their escorts the college prexy arose, and remained standing until the sponsors had been seated.

MARQUETTES TAKE FIRST Y JUNIOR LEAGUE CLASH Defending Champs Tame Cardinals in First of Three-Game Series The Marquettes, defending champions of the Y.M.C.A. Junior League Division, withstood the challenge of the Cardinals in the opening game of a three-game series for the 1934 title on the floor of the Twelfth Street Branch Y, last Thursday. The game was decided by a score of 34-24. Skinker, Wills and Watkins, annexing 26 points between them, led the winners' defensive. Anderson, star forward of the challengers, was the only one of the opposing machine to break through the Marquette defense. The contest was decidedly rough in spots, many fouls being called. Eighteen successful free throws were divided 10 for the losers and 8 for the winners. The champions also showed a marked superiority in floor play.

It is around this nucleus of Sellers, Petterson, Andrews, Hart, Jeffries, White, Young, Stevens, Waples and Matthews that Force hopes to build a formidable diamond outfit. A schedule of ten games has already been arranged, the opening game being carded for April 13.

Harmon Fitch, North Carolina. Veterans' Singles An innovatoin in the A.T.A. Championships this past year was the Veterans' Singles event. Though the entry was small probably due to the sensitiveness of disclosing the age level of the participants or a feeling of condescension of ability, yet the contests were far from mediocrity. Interest in this event will in all probability increase as time speeds onward. Five of the eight contestants were rated. 1. John F. L. Wilkinson, Wash., D.C. 2. C. W. Furlong, M.D., N. Carolina. 3. Charles Williams, New York. 4. George Evans, D.D.S., N. Carolina. 5. Men's Doubles The Jackson brothers regained the first place in the ratings of men's doubles.

Walker-Jones, Baltimore, are placed third. Holmes Thompson, rated sixth in 1932 moved up to fourth; and McGriff-McGriff, the father-son combination, moved from ninth to sixth place, while Downing-Fitch dropped from fourth to seventh place.

The latter will represent Washington Elkdom by bearing the colors of Columbia Lodge No. 85, of this city. The local aggregation will send its strongest aggregation into the fray. Headed by Slim Thomas, Lanky Jones, and Everett Jeffries, the Twelfth Streeters are expected to present a sturdy barrier for the hurdling of the hitherto unbeaten Metropolitan outfit. The New Yorkers' squad is made up of Theodore (Buster) Phoenix, Frank (Lanky) Tucker, George (Tumpy) Henry, E. Henderson, Francis Euston, Sidney (Red) Phillips, Norman (Nappy) Saunders, and Humbrey Douglass. The group will be headed by Exalted Ruler Edward Simons. Other players to represent the Y include George Adams, Jelly Legs Jackson, Frank Steel, Red Fowler, Pee Wee Gros, Herbie Tobias. Vernon French, Eddie Davis, and Gus Tabbs. LUVALLE, JOHNSON BEGIN 1934 TRACK CAMPAIGN Two Coast Youths Start Work, LuValle to Run 220 Dash Also LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—In track and field events that marked the beginning of the 1934 cinder path season, two widely heralded lads began their "conquering campaign," Saturday. The two young men were Jimmy LuValle, I.C.A.A.A.A., 440 champion, and Corny Johnson, Olympic contestant, Inter-Scholastic high jump champion LuValle, a student at U.C.L.A., ran in a dual meet against Pomona College Saturday, and this being his first start of the year, things look dark for all opponents this year. Coach Trotter is starting the "tan-skinned" lightning bolt, by using him to run the 220-yard dash in addition to his favorite quarter-mile. In the Pomona meet he ran the furlong in 20.8, which is only two-tenths of a second slower than the old world's record held by Roland Locke. And after the surprisingly fast time in the furlong, he came back to win the 440 in the slow time of $4^{\circ}$ seconds f.l.t. Crimson and Black Cinder Team Starts Drills Coach Charlie Pinderhughes had his Dunbar High School track team going through the paces during the past week. Training was begun Monday for a strenuous schedule ahead of the Crimson and Black cinder men. The new mixed doubles team of Leonard-Hilton were rated No. 1. Of the remaining mixed doubles teams, the record shows only one, Ewell and Ewell, that has been intact for the past three years. In 1930, Ewell-Ewell were rated fifth, failed to be rated in 1931, but were rated third in 1932. They hold the same position in this year's list. 1. Mrs. Emma Leonard, C. O. Hilton, New York-New Jersey. 2. Mrs. Elise Conick, Eyre Saithe, New York. 3. Mrs. W. E. Ewell, Dr. W. E. Ewell, Illinois. 4. Miss Anita Gant, Dr. L. C. Downing, Washington, D.C.-Virginia. 5.

Rollo Wilson Named Baseball Commissioner at Pow Wow W. Rollo Wilson Named Baseball Commissioner at Pow Wow Well Known Scribe to Rule Supreme During Coming Campaign of Negro National Association; Choice Acclaimed by Delegates in Attendance PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—W. Rolly Wilson, nationally known newspaperman and baseball authority, has been made the "Judge Landis" of colored baseball. The elevation of Wilson to the highest position in colored baseball emerged as one of the principal highlights of the history-making two-day session that took place here Saturday and Sunday at the Roadside Hotel. Antiquated time-worn methods of the past, wilted in the face of the sweeping reforms and advanced steps that the club owners arrived at after prolonged and comprehensive discussions. Much other important legislation was written at this meeting, foremost of which was a working agreement (details to be taken up very shortly) with the Southern League. Rumor Links D. C. With N.N.A. League Rumors have the Nashville Giants coming to Washington to represent the Capital City in the reorganized and materially strengthened Negro National League. The club, according to Nashville In Tom Wilson, owner of the Nashville Club, reported the desire of the Southern League to associate with the Negro National Association, as to schedules, ball players, and general problems, and under one directing head, a commissioner. Southern owners agreed to permit their players to be sold to N.N.A. teams at a certain stipulated sum. This would be on a trial basis, and if the player failed to make the grade he would automatically go back to the same Southern club from which he came. The Bacharach Giants of Philadelphia; Homestead Grays, Pittsburgh; Memphis and Birmingham were admitted as associate members who with the regular members: Philadelphia Stars, Nashville, Cleveland, Pittsburgh Crawfords, Newark, and Chicago American Giants, comprise the entire organization. A rule prohibiting the Grays from playing any regular league team at Forbes Field was made. Black Yankees Must Behave The status of the New York Black Yankees as an associate member is dependent upon their willingness to accept and abide by the rules of the organization. The Baltimore Black Sox after being admitted as a regular member sought suspension on their status until they gain a definite line on what players they can get. A schedule was drafted and adopted. The season will be played in two halves. The first half opens May 12 and ends July 4. The second half ends September 9, with the winners of each half meeting in a playoff. An agreement to post deposits as bonds of good faith passed unanimously. After requiring all league members to submit the names of their players the newly installed commissioner was faced with several vexing problems to thrash out. Commissioner Has Problems Vic Harris, brilliant outfielder; and L. Mormey, flashy infielder, are claimed by both the Homestead Grays and Pittsburgh Crawfords. Ted Trent, pitcher, is claimed by both Chicago and the New York Black Yankees, and Creacy (listed to manage the Cleveland team) is also included on the roster of the Philadelphia Stars. The decision of Commissioner Wilson, in these cases will be final. The league will employ traveling umpires and complaints from four clubs on inefficiency against any individual arbiter will cause the commissioner to consider his disbarment from working in future league games. Officers elected were: W. Greenlee, Pittsburgh, chairman, board of directors; Thomas Wilson, Nashville, vice-chairman; J. L. Clark, Pittsburgh, secretary; R. A. Coles, Chicago, treasurer. Those present at the meeting were: W. A. Greenlee, Pittsburgh; R. Citrano, Baltimore; H. G. Hall Chicago; Douglas Smith, Washington, D.C.; Ed Bolden, Philadelphia; Cum Posey and See Posey, Pittsburgh; C. H. Tyler and Dick Lundy Newark; Webster McDonald, Philadelphia; Otto Briggs and Harry Passon, Philadelphia; C. H. Williams, Cleveland; Vernon Green Tom Wilson, and Jim Taylor Nashville; Eddie Gottlieb, Philadelphia; W. Rollo Wilson, Philadelphia; and Acting Secretary Randy Dixon, Philadelphia. Wilson's Acceptance Hailed The league members were elated over the willingness of Wilson to accept the commissioner's billet. His long experience as a critic and follower of colored baseball, his keen insight of the game, and his wide acquaintanceship and contacts make him ideally fitted for the position. He immediately plunged into his new position with a tact, diplomacy and sagacity that prevented several smouldering controversies from becoming important issues at the meeting. Several trades were consumed. Bailey, Nashville pitcher, was sent to Chicago for Davis, outfielder. Willis Powell, pitcher, was secured by Cleveland from Chicago. The Homestead Grays sent Evans, outfielder, and Britt, pitcher, to Newark. The schedules and personnel of the league teams will be released for the next issue of this paper. Rumor Links D. C. With N.N.A. League Rumors have the Nashville Giants coming to Washington to represent the Capital City in the reorganized and materially strengthened Negro National League. The club, according to these reports, will make its home at Griffith's Stadium and will operate on a league franchise granted under the name Washington-Nashville Giants. Tom Wilson, owner of the Tennessee outfit, is expected to manage the club for at least the opening days of the season. Douglass O. Smith, local business man, was appointed vice president of the Giants just prior to the meeting of the league in Philadelphia, last Saturday. He will handle the business on this end until Tom Wilson has completed arrangements to move his headquarters here. Although Smith refused to confirm the rumor when approached by the Tribune early this week, neither did he deny that such a deal was being contemplated. BIG GREEN CAGERS WIN 3 GAMES IN WEEK White College Team Listed Among Victims of Wilberforce 5 (Special to 'The Tribune) CEDARVILLE, Ohio. — The Wilberforce University basketball team took the measure of Cedarville College (white) in a rough-and-tumble game that found six men going out on personal fouls. The final score was 45-40. The Cedarvilleans, though leading at times during both halves, were unable to stand the fast pace of the colored boys. The shooting of Sankey was the real reason the locals kent in the running as long as they did. Matthews and Singer were the sharp-shooters for the winners. WILBERFORCE, Ohio. — In a game that proved a thriller from beginning to end, the crack Alabama State Hornets bowed to the Wilberforce University basketers, here late last week. The Ohioans' margin was 54-42. Trailing, 23-13, at the half, the visitors went through the paces of a rejuvenated team when they returned following the rest period. Led by Johnson, the Hornets rallied and brought the score up to 23-22 as the contest entered its final five minutes of play. A spurt by the Big Green boys, however, put the game on ice. Matthews was again the star of the winning attack. The loss of Parker, all-round star who went out of the game on four personal fouls was a severe one for the invaders who had won seven games out of seven played on the trip North. WILBERFORCE, Ohio. — Louisville College's basketball team, outclassed in every department by a superior Wilberforce floor team, went down to defeat by the overwhelming score of 54-17, here early this week. At half time the winners were ahead by 26-6, and from then on it was only a question of what the score would be. Hornets Shatter National Title Hopes of 'Force XENIA, Ohio. — Wilberforce University beat the highly touted Alabama State quintet in a hotly contested game 53-37. The game was a nip and tuck affair throughout, and a little fellow named Beard, on the "Bama" team nearly upset the Forceans' national championship hopes. Beard, who has been the terror of the South, due to his uncanny shooting and floor work, put on another good show at Force. Wilberforce soon gained their stride in the second half, and edged out a clean cut victory over the State boys. Singer for Wilberforce was in his shooting form and scored 17 points to lead his teammates. Beard scored 16 points to lead his mates. All-American "Bub" McPherson and "Chink" Mathews played their usual brilliant game. MORGAN AGAIN IS WINNER OVER LINCOLN Bear Courtmen Annex Third Decision in Fray With Lions BALTIMORE, Md.-At the New Albert Auditorium, Friday evening, the Morgan Bears won their third victory in basketball from the Lincoln Lions in their third contest of this season with a score of 34-31. Several times during the game, the Bears' victory was seriously threatened. Mosby started the scoring by hooking one from under the basket. Bergan followed with a free throw after having been fouled. Garner received a quick pass and added two more points for the Lions. Bergen again added one point with a free throw. Troupe was credited with one basket at this point, and one point from the foul line. The score was 5-7 in favor of Lincoln. Wright added two more points to the Lions' score, followed by two from Conrad, and one foul shot by Hackett. Free made good on the foul shot for the Lions. This was followed by two baskets, one by Conrad and the other by Wilson. In the second half, the Lions did exceptional close guarding and kept the score at a close margin. Twice during this half, the score was tied, and amid the cheers of the fans, both teams battled desperately. Mosby broke through the Lions' defense and sank a double-decker, which gave Morgan the lead of one point. This lead was held until just before the final whistle, when the battle ended with a score of 34-31. Coach Chas. H. Williams announced last week that nine members of the basketball squad at Hampton had been awarded letters for this season. They are: Captain Charles C. (Cutes) Carter, Montgory w. W.Va.; Captain-elect Alfred A. Hamm, of Cincinnati, Ohio; Wallace W. (Chief Bender) Hooker, Hampton, Va.; George M. Hopson, Columbus, Ohio; Melvin E. Lancaster, Washington, D.C.; William C. Nixon, Baltimore, Md.; Larney E. Owens, Englewood, N.J.; Alonzo E. White, Philadelphia, Pa.; and Merritt W. (Chicken) Wilson, Philadelphia. Two of these men, Captain Carter and Lancaster, will be lost by graduation in June. Both have been members of the team for four years and are now roommates. Captain Carter has the distinction of having been captain of the Hampton team for three successive years. His marvelous defensive play has ranked him among the best guards in an amateur basketball. He has also been a member of the football team for the past four years, playing halfback for three years. Last year he was made first-string quarterback and a splendid job in the new role. He will receive his Bachelor of Science degree in June as a trade teacher. Cardozo Day Cagers Trim Night School Tossers Cardozo Day School defeated Cardozo Night School at basketball Friday, in the Cardozo School gym. The first half was very close, the score being Cardozo Day School 8; Cardozo Night School 6. The night basketters were unable to check the shooting of Robinson and Byrd. The final score was Cardozo Day, 22; Cardozo Night School, 15. LeDroits to Hold Benefit Dance Next Tuesday The LeDroit Tigers baseball club will hold its annual pre-season benefit dance, at the Variety Town and Country Club, 1337 R Street, Northwest, Tuesday night. Officers of the club are: Audrey Gilliam, president and treasurer; Henry Spencer, vice-president; Sherman Baylor, financial secretary; Herman Scott, secretary; Andrew Allen, business manager; Edwa! Kemp, coach; Joseph Wheeler, sergeant-at-arms, and Alexander Barnes, publicity manager. Aggies Win First Home Game GREENBORO, N.C.—The Aggie kasketball five finished the season in a blaze of glory when they swamped the Fayetteville State Normal School 34-16 in a one-sided game here Friday. From the opening to the close the pane was all the Aggies with the Aggie reserves, playing most of the time. Kennedy, Aggie star guard was high point man with seven points.

The dispute for possession of the position, which has been going on for several weeks, was terminated when Freedmen's grabbed the first two games of the set. For a time it looked as though the Ambassadors were going to lose the whole set. Bigger Foster, the little fellow with the Charlie Chinlip slide, saved the third game for his faltering mates, who were slow in coming from under the ether, with a contribution of 135 fallen sticks. The Cosmopolitans were disappointed in the result of their match with A.G.O. They were all set to make a clean sweep but were tripped in the third game when their usual "Garrison Finish" failed to materialize. Liberty Loan ran afoul of Franklin Business Association and was thrown for a 2 to 1 loss. We were glad to see Captain Thompson back in the line-up. If the lumbago, of which he has been suffering, makes him roll a 348 set, why not inoculate two or three other players with virus from the same stock-culture? Next Tuesday night, March 20, promises to be a knock-down, dragout affair between Cosmopolitans and Freedmen's Hospital, who are scheduled to exchange compliments. A sizeable gathering of dames and damsels has been assured. Cosmopolitans are particularly anxious to have on hand all of their feminine supporters who possess any talent in the art of raising the Organization of O Planned at Promoters of National Inter- nment to Sponsor Parli- Move Should Be GARY, Ind.—There is one m from the National Naterscholastic at Roosevelt High School.

Since competition between Negro high schools is becoming more extensive throughout the United States each year there is a great need for such an organization. The purpose of this organization is to bring about a closer relationship and a better understanding between coaches and officials regarding the ethical principles of competitive sports, and to set up a definite ethical code to guide the coaches and officials of these games. So many of our youths have been drilled into the attitude of "winning at any cost." This is due to the lack of understanding of what the ultimate aim of competitive sports should be. morals, to a broad and generous view, to scientific outlook, to aesthetic appreciation. And, if the athletes are sound, they will serve leisure time in a fine way, they will contribute to citizenship, and quite directly be of value in almost every vocation. Thus, it is necessary for coaches to teach along with athletics those things that are conducive to proper social conduct, and it is also just There is something more important in coaching than teaching our boys to "win games," but in the scheme of their general education sports and athletics can and should stand for the same cardinal principles as set up by educators: certainly sound athletics should contribute to healthy living, splendid Writer Points to "Gold Mine" o Pacific Coast Offered Large Runners and Jumpers, LuValle Amon Writer Points to West Coast As "Gold Mine" of Track Talent Pacific Coast Offered Largest Number of Crack Negro Runners and Jumpers, Syndicate Writer Holds; LuValle Among the Greatest By JIMMIE ROBINSON LOS ANGELES, Calif. (ANP)—Still imbued with the vast conquest made by brown skinned boys in country-wide track meets last year, we must consider which section of the country had the largest and best Negro athletes. I cannot truthfully sav that the West coast had the best tracksters, but without a doubt, she deserves honors as having the largest percentage of Negro cinder path speedsters to receive honors.

Walker American Legion Post, No. 26, last Thursday, at a meeting of that group. Don Webb's home was the scene of the gathering. Ralph Tignor, Nat Randolph and Alfred Smart will in all probability form the nucleus, around which Mentor Young will attempt to weld a formidable nine. Having ended the 1932 season with batting averages of .492, .480 and .452 in 20, 15 and 17 games, respectively, the trio of Tignor, Randolph and Smart are expected to continue to wallop the horsehide with the same gusts this year.

Brockenbury HAMPTON INSTITUTE—The Hampton Parish last week unanimously owed Alfred A. Hamm as their basket ball captain for the season of 1934-35. This appendid albistre who tips the scales at 170 pounds and stands 5 feet 11 inches from the ground was born twenty-one years ago in Cincinnati, Ohio. Since he was four years old he has been interested in basketball, getting his start by tossing rags through the trancom of the kitchen door at home. In the seventh grade he began playing organized basketball on the outdoor courts in Cincinnati. He spent his high school years at the Wilberforce Academy, where he played guard on the Hi-Y team. He is at present a sophomore in the School of Education, majoring in Industrial Arts. For both the years he has been a member of the Pirate squad he has been the leading scoresaver-eight points a game.

And so much for the Los Angeles college tracks ers, but as I look over the junior college entrées and veterans, I find that at Compton J.C., that one of the most colorful high jumpers of the Negro race has undertaken his daily dozens there. This lad is no other than Cornelius Johnson, the American Olympic entry in the high jumping event. Johnson rose into fame last year during the greatest of all track events, the Olympiad at Los Angeles, when he tied for first place with two other boys, only to loss in the "jump-off" for first place. But losing this event did not dawn the spirit of this courageous lad as he continued his conquest during the season. In a special meet last year at New York, Johnson jumped against the best that America had to offer, but his contestants were listed as "also rans." Dean Cromwell, coach at the University of Southern California, has stated that some day "Cornelius Johnson will jump 6 feet 10 "Negro Jockeys a Thing of the Past," Laments White Scribe "Negro Jockeys a Thing of the Past," Laments White Scribe Midwestern Sports Writer Attributes Decline to Success of White Riders to Closing Saddles to Group Once Held in High Regard CHICAGO (ANP)—“The Negro jockeys are gone,” observed Richard S.

All conference teams with good records were invited to attend. Seven teams responded. Morris Brown College of Atlanta was chosen the most widely as a finalist along with Clark University as a close second choice. In the first round the unheralded Fisk University team gave Clark University a great battle only to go down before superior team play, 26-23. Then followed victories by Morris Brown over LeMoyne, 42-36; Tuskegee over Morehouse, 51-21; Clark over Talladega, 37-23; Tuskegee over Morris Brown, 47-24; and Morris Brown over Talladega, 28-21. In the championship game, Tuskegee's Golden Tiger starled the spectators by defeating one of the smartest teams the Clark Panther has ever put on the court, 44 to 21. Donald Reeves, captain and center of the Clark team, led the efforts of his mates with five field goals and two free tosses for a total of 12 points, while Carl Ray played an all-round game to help him, making five points to go with the Panther total. Charles Bush played the best game of his brief collegiate career, intercepting many passes and blocking innumerable shots.

Not to be outside, the Loxmexmen put on a second half rally to capture a 30-13 night-up verdict. With Mild ed James, All-M3A guard, barred from the team for scholastic reasons and Books Clark at forward in place of Cee Brown, the Downie girls were slow get under way and rolled up only a 12-8 halfway in. In the final quarter, Latimore ran into tally five doubledeckers. In addition, she made good on nine of nine foul tries, shooting eight straight before missing. Giles, of Bowle, with nine points, led her team, while Hawkins and Gray did fine guarding. The Downingtown boys had like-wise lost one of their stellar players, Pollard, highest scoring forward, who came under a scholastic ban. They managed to edge out a 12-11 lead at the half, largely on Big White's sharp shooting. For half of the second frame, the count was repeatedly knotted, until as 19-1all Sam Walden hurled in four twin pointers. The Lomaxmen were rapidly pulling away when the final whistle blew.

Mr. "Why is it that horsemen, who are supposed to overlook no bets, no longer consider the intuition and the skill of the colored boys when they select their apprentice riders?" "A Negro boy and a horse, according to the fing old legends, have a bond of understanding that no white boy ever can approach. The horse and the Negro lad have a language that is understood by no one else, and illusive system of gurgles, grunts and snatches of song by one partner and an elaborate code of ear twitching by the other." "The two, it is said by men who should know, can talk things over as they gallop and reach perfect understanding." "Despite this natural advantage, however, there are no Negro riders on the fancy American tracks, simply because the white boys have crowded them out. The white boys have ganged against them and no wise horseman will waste the money it costs to train a colored rider for the races when the odds are all aggrist him. "All trades have tricks, understand, and the jockey trade is full of them. Let a rider become unpopular with his fellows and it's dollars to doughnuts he'll never win unless he leaps out in front at the barrier and stays there all the way. It's All So Easy "The smart little men who boot the ponies around know how easy it is to pocket a rider, or force him into the rail, or bump him out of rhythm, or cause him to race wide. The cleverest boy is helpless if the gang decides to get him. The word is that many a plot is hatched and carried through while the eagle-eyed judges, suspicious but helpless, peer through their glasses and swear. "There was a day when Negro jockeys were not cut of grace with their fellows. There was a day, in fact, when the little black boys were the most consistent winners on the American track. Take Isaac Murphy, for example, the man who won three Kentucky Darbies, five Latonia Derbies, and five American Derbies, and at least 30 other important stake races. "Willie Sims, another Negro bay, won two Kentucky Derbies and two Luton Derbies. For years he had all the wise men of the Eastern tracks their money on his mounts. Jimmy Lee and Monk Ocerton, both colored riders, are down in the record books in capital letters; for each rode six winners in a single afternoon. Alonzo Clayton "Oldtimers still talk about Albanzo City op. the Negro boy who was known in his day as 'Beau Brummel' Clayton. He was almost the equal of Murphy and Sims as a rider, but his distinction was acquired through his wardrobe and his appetite for education. They say he divided his earnings into four equal parts. Living expenses took one part, savings another, clothes the third, and education the fourth. As a result he was a constant delight to the eye and he undoubtedly knew more than any other rider of his era. "In the old days there was one bad actor among the colored jockeys, a lad named Tony Hamilton, end he was the only black boy who found the game against him. He was a clever man in the saddle and won his share of races, but his record was marred by the fact that he was forever trying to get even with somebody. "When racing became illegal In New York the colored riders were forced from the track and when the sport was resumed, about 15 years ago, the new antagonisms were encountered. Numerous Nero exercise boys tried to become jockeys, but they found the going too touch and had to quit. "Too bad, but apparently it can't be heaped."

HEATHER ANGEL NORMAN FOSTER RALPH MORGAN HERBERT MUNDIN UNA O'CONNOR Directed by Paul Martin From the novel by Graham Greene SELECTED SHORT SU Next Attraction—“I’ve Got starring Joan Blondell and FOURTEEN -:-Raphael-:- One of those wild and wooly jungle pictures, "Devil Tiger," featured the screen production at the Raphael Theatre during the current week. Manager Ed Harris went "The Lost World" and the two "Kongs" one better with his crackerjack thriller. Kane Richmond, Marion Burns and their supporting cast play the parts of a group of people in an exploring party cutting their way through the wilds of the Asiatic jungle. As one of the audience you find yourself with them as they find themselves the helpless centre of a crushing stampede of wild elephants, panic-streken by the approach of the dreaded Devil Tiger. $A_{\mathrm{t}}$ the next moment, one of the party is in hand-to-tail struggle with the deadliest of crocodiles, the battle taking place above water only half of the time. With barely time to rest, they become the forced witnesses of a battle between a lion and a tiger those age-old adversaries for jungle supremacy—the monarch and the pretender to the animal throne. And then comes one of the brilliant high lights of the film in a ferocious struggle between one of the party and a death-dealing 40-foot python. Here is a graphic example of an attempt by a reptile to wrest hack the world that man has taken from him. The "Orient Express" is coming! The picture, telling the story of seven lives that are completely changed as the crack European train hurtles across the continent from Ostend to Constantinople, comes to the Raphael Theatre, Saturday, to remain for seven days. It has thrills with its speed, romance with its luxury, comedy with its efficiency, and drama with every click of the wheels on the tracks. The story concerns itself with a dancer, hungry and looking for work; a wealthy young merchant; who falls in love with the dancer; a Cockney Englishman, under the thumb of his domineering wife; a thief, feeling from justice; a beautiful girl, thirsting for love; and a woman reporter, seeking to uncover the plans of a powerful Communist leader. All are aboard the Orient Express, each heading for his own particular destination. Heather Angel and Norman Foster have the leading romantic roles with a supporting cast that speaks volumes in entertainment. Headed by Ralph Morgan and Herbert Mundin, it includes Una O'Connor, Irene Ware, Dorothy Burgess, Lisa Gora, William Irving, Roy R'Dace, Perry Irvins, Fredrik Vogeding and Marc Lobell. Paul Martin directed, from the best-selling novel of the same name by Graham Greene. The picture for which Manager Montrabel Montgomery has been patiently waiting, and all mention of which he has kept well concealed in the innermost regions of his sample sleeve is about to break loose at the lil' Fifteenth and U Streets Theatre: "Moulin Rouge," with no less celebrated a cast than Connie Bennett, Franchot Tone (ha cha, allouse boys and gals). Russ Columbo, and the Boswell Sisters, begins at the Booker T. tomorrow (Friday). Miss Bennett plays her first dual role in "Moulin Rouge" and also sings several songs especially written for her by Al Dubin, who composed the memorable hits in "42nd Street," "Gold Diggers" and "Roman Scandals." The story gathers considerable dramatic momentum with the efforts of a wife to convince her husband that she should follow a career rather than make a home for him. It accumulates complications through the dual role that Miss Bennett plays which includes the situation of the husband making gallant love to her and so putting himself in jeopardy of a divorce suit. -:-Lincoln-:- Much after the Valentino type he represents, George Raft captivates female audiences which viewed the Lincoln's presentation of "Bolero," during the current week. Portraying the part of an internationally famous dancer, the slick-brained idol of the weaker sex, performs in a manner that is satisfactory to even the most ill-pleased. At first a coal worker, Raft turns dancer in the hope of utilizing his ability to manipulate his feet toward the end of financial gain. He takes a female partner when he learns that the public will watch the poorest sort of feminine dancer in preference to him. He changes several times when their value to him spends itself out. In the end he finds that Carole Lombard, his last partner, is necessary for his final appearances. In the end he dies—which makes it a good picture. Washington theatre-goers, particularly those of the masculine variety, have a thrill coming to them. It is due to arrive tomorrow simultaneously with the showing of Greta Garbo, the alluring, exotic, glamorous-er—well, just Garbo at the Lincoln. Beginning Friday, George Clarke will offer "Queen Christina," hailed as the Swedish star's greatest as well as John Gilbert's triumphant come-back. "Queen Christina" is the story of Sweden's famous queen who sacrificed her country and her throne for love and religious motives. On the throne Garbo is a spectacular figure. Besieged on all sides by wars, she obtains peace for her country against the wishes of Sweden's triumphant armies. It is during a flight from the worries of her country that she meets Gilbert, the handsome Spanish envoy, and falls madly in love with him. The ensuing story is the sensational love affair of a queen who traded her throne for the thrill of a kiss. THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MARCH 15. 1934 A SCREEN FAVORITE ON T STREET RUTH CHATTERTON, who appears on the Howard screen for a week in "Journal of a Crime." -:-Howard-:- It may be that yours truly is just an old home town boy, because although the group of New York chorines many of whom are direct from the great white way do their bits in high time style. I found myself yearning for the peppy bunch of damsels headed by Ristina Banks, during the "Hot Harlem" efforts at the Howard the current week. I was somewhat pacified by the smooth lyrics as offered by the imitable Hardy Brothers, whose rendition of "Did You Ever See A Dream Walking?" and "Dream Sweetheart" were something to write to the Tribune about. Manager Shep Allen can be thanked for holding over this talented gathering of musicians, and he can rest assured that many's the show there'll be that these lads will save for him. Jackie Mabrey and Gallie de Gaston, comedienne and comedian of much local favor, are rewarded with no end of appreciative responses to their efforts. As usual the tapping brigade is well represented in "Slappy" Wallace, perhaps one of the best equipped click-artists to appear on a local stage in many moons; a novice skate-tap-dancer, and the "Three Sams." The sepia Clara Bow lost her hold on me the moment she appeared on the stage with a BLOND wig—er I was threw —I mean through. On the screen Wheeler and Woolsey, assisted by Dorothy Lee and Thelma Todd, offer "Hips, Hips, Hooray." It's a screamingly funny beauty parlor business with some detective evading which gets so fast that a transcontinental auto race is needed to keep the picture REPUBLIC THEATRE 1343 You Street, N.W.

With a case of one hunhred people and two complete orchestras, one colored and one white, next week's show promises a battle of music. Munger Allen of the Howard Theatre hopes, in this show, to settle the question of superiority between a white and colored band as exponents of jazz. Let's all hope the Hardy Brothers get the call to represent us. Then bring on the devil. The screen presents Ruth Chatterton in her most powerful dramatic offering, "Journal of a Crime." It is a picture of the great Chatterton as a love cheated wife-playing her heart out in a role that will haunt your dreams! Hell, they say, hath no fury like a wife starved for love. Has a woman the right to take the law in her own hands? Awah! Is a husband private property? Ah, woe is me. -:- Republic-:- Zane Grey's novel "The Border Legion" was the background for the film version "The Last Round-up," which showed the Republic patrons the first part of the current week, and appealed to many of them. Manager Mark Terrell did himself well when he brought the western drama to the Fourteenth and U Streets house. The story unravels, something like this: About to go to jail for a murder which he did not commit, Randolph Scott is rescued by Monte Blue and his gang of outlaws, only to find that they are holding Barbara Fritchie in their hide-away, against her will. He wants to protect her, and plans to escape. After a series of adventures the story reaches a thrilling climax that turns out okay—considering.

DeMille's "Four Frightened People," with a great cast including Claudette Colbert, Herbert Marshall, Mary Boland, and William Gargan. The unusual plot deals with the adventures of two men and two women who are forced to flee from a Dutch steamer when a plague breaks out aboard. They land secretly in a wild spot on the coast of the Malay Peninsula and on the way to the seacoast become lost in the jungle. Confronted with primitive life, they revert to living as their ancient ancestors lived. Jackie Cooper and Lila Lee in "The Lone Cowboy" will be the feature attraction on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. This is Jackie Cooper's first picture since he played with Wallace Beery in "The Bowery." "The Lone Cowboy" tells the story of Scooter O'Neal, played by Jackie, who is lifted suddenly from his tenement home in Chicago to the wide open spaces of Nevada. It is crammed with action. STEPIN' FETCHIT, CHASTENED AT LAST, SUBDUED It was a subdued and chastened Stepin' Fetchit who returned to the Fox Movietone Studios a few months ago to work in the production, "Carolina." His badge of humility, prominently displayed, was a broken-down automobile that he wouldn't have permitted his valet to drive in the days of his former greatness and prosperity. Lionel Barrymore, distinguished actor, artist and critic, asserts that the late Bert Williams, in his best years, was never half so good as Stepin' Fetchit. Barrymore worked in scene after scene with the comics in "Carolina," which will be shown at the Raphael Theatre this week, and got an ever-increasing kick out of each succeeding sequence, "Stepin', without even trying, could steal a scene from any living man or woman," he said. Stepin', in case you've forgotten him, is the colored comic who hit his peak some four years ago, when the talkies were young. But he "went Hollywood" so high wide and handsome that he went right out of Hollywood and pictures. At the height of his career, Stepin rented the biggest house on Central Avenue, the Broadway of the Los Angeles black belt. He married the most popular girl he could find. And he lived in style. -Owned Four Cars At one time, he owned four au- BROADWAY THEATRE 1315 Seventh Street, N.W.

A walk is being laid by the CWA around the school building. This walk has been one of the needs of the school since it was erected. The principal and a number of citizens have sent numerous petitions, and made many verbal pleas to the school board and city council for this much needed walk around the building and it will help keep the building clean and save shoe leather for parents. Citizens have also asked for a paved sidewalk on Alfred Street or Patrick Street, as it is impossible to get to Parker-Gray School if there is any amount of rainfall without wading through mud. 9 Our Work Is Most Unusual Complete Beauty Service Expert Operators Maynie Potter, Mrs. Melissa Cross, Mrs. Letitia Diggs, Mrs. Laura Beecham, Mrs. Louise Mondy, Mrs. Sarah Freeman, Miss Viola Butler and Gracen, Cross; DeWitt Drew, George Parker, E.

Subtly, irresistibly the March breezes rouse in every woman's heart a longing for beauty. And she years for some new way to make herself more attractive than ever. That's why a "gift of beauty" is so appropriate right now. It is certain to delight the youthful matron—the mature woman. Highlights in Make-Up There's an "upward" trend just now—in make-up. And it's very flattering to the mature woman. This new way of blending colors actually seems to "lift" the face, giving a slenderizing, youthful effect. All it requires is two tones of powder—a light and dark shade combined with the rouge, lip-stick, and eye cosmetics. The light powder accents or "highlights" certain features; the dark powder makes portions of the face less conspicuous. fully arched to aid in the "lifting" process. With the help of an eyebrow pencil the arch can be accentuated and the line of the brow lengthened to give a slenderizing effect. Lips are colored just enough to bring out the expression of the mouth. Only the upper lip is rouged—a little more heavily at the center. Pressing both lips together tightly colors the lower one sufficiently and gives them a similar shape. Whoever objects to much color can easily remove the excess Just as an artist blends colors on his canvas, the clever woman applies light powder to the upper part of her face to draw attention to it, and subdues a heavy chin by blending a slightly darker shade on and under it. She may even continue the dark powder up toward her ears to give a slenderizing effect. Rouge of a soft tone is applied well up on the face to emphasize the upper features. And with this special make-up circles under the eyes need no longer be disfiguring. A little shading makes it easy to conceal them. Just a bit of rouge rubbed over them followed by powder will conceal any discoloration, making the skin seem uniform in color. For the mature woman only a faint touch of eye shadow is necessary—preferably a shade that blends with her natural coloring. But the lower line of the brow must be care- B.

With the help of an eyebrow pencil the arch can be accentuated and the line of the brow lengthened to give a slenderizing effect. Lips are colored just enough to bring out the expression of the mouth. Only the upper lip is rouged—a little more heavily at the center. Pressing both lips together tightly colors the lower one sufficiently and gives them a similar shape. Whoever objects to much color can easily remove the excess by drawing a piece of tissue between the lips after rouging them. And to keep the lips in fine condition there's a new combination lipstick that is very helpful. It combines the lip rouge and pomade stick. Either before or after rouging, the pomade stick can be applied. And it heals and soothes sensitive lips, protecting them from the irritation of wind and weather. Cleanliness Creates Beauty Whatever the passing vogue may be, the woman who seeks beauty must first be exquisitely clean and fresh every hour of the day. Just by watching the little details, keeping her person and clothes immaculate, a woman can achieve that "crispy clean" look that will make her admired wherever she goes. By watching her diet carefully and taking daily exercise she can also keep herself clean internally. And a system that functions normally is the basis of all lasting beauty.

The LLD urged all workers and sympathizers to protest to Judge Soper against this attempt to bar working-class defense from the courts, in wires, letters and resolutions demanding dismissal of the proceedings against Ades.

INTEREST KEEN IN OUTCOME OF "NUMBERS" CASE Trio Faces Stiff Penalties if Bill in Congress Becomes Law By W. HAROLD FLOWERS The sentence imposed on Eddie Jack Bowen and Elwood Jackson, white, or 927 Seventh Street, Southwest, and James Adolphus Allen, 420 Ridge Street, still remains. Bowen, Allen, and Jackson, received a sentence of sixty days in the District jail on a charge of permitting gaming at 475 Ridge Street. Policemen Reynolds and Kite played the numbers at the Ridge Street address and followed their bet with a raid which brought about the arrest of the three men. Marked money tendered by the policemen in paying off their bets was found. Russell Morris and Brooks Talferro Sanders represented the three men at the first jury trial on December 15. The jury found the defendants guilty as charged in the indictment. Morris and Sanders noted an appeal on the ground that the government did not sufficiently identify the game as to make it a prima facie case. The officers who played the numbers had no idea, according to the attorneys for the defense, as to when they would win or lose, or who would pay off the bet. It was further contended that there was not sufficient evidence to distinguish between a bet or a common swindle. Attorneys Morris and Sanders filed a bill of exceptions and at a hearing of a motion for a new trial, the court was of the opinion that there were too many exceptions, and postponed the hearing until a date to be announced. Much interest is being shown in the outcome of the case as there is now pending in Congress, legislation which makes the possession of number books and other gambling paraphernalia, prima facie evidence of gambling. Severe penalties are to be imposed if the legislation passes the Congress. EASY TERMS USED CARS Buy Now! REDUCED IN PRICE COLORED HACKER EXONORATED IN DAMAGE SUIT Court Refuses Award of $25,000 to White Woman Plaintiff The $25,000 damage suit filed by Mrs. Ida M. Blackman (white), 2107 O Street, Northwest, against William N. Suter, Sr., 1519 Tenth Street, Northwest, was dismissed in District Supreme Court, Monday. Suter, accused of being the driver of a taxi-cab which ran down the white woman at DuPont Circle last summer, was absolved when it was proven that he was not the driver of the car at the time of the accident. Peter A. Hicks, a chauffeur for the Red Cab Taxi Company for which Suter also was driving at the time, assumed the responsibility for operation of the car. Both he and Suter testified that Miss Blackman was crossing against the signal at the time she was struck. They also asserted that she walked into the automobile. The court observed the traffic regulation that pedestrians should be governed by mechanical signals as well as the operators of vehicles when he handed down his decision which called for a direct verdict in favor of the defendant. Suter had been sued as a separate defendant along with the Red Cab Company, owner of the cab, He was represented by Attorneys Perry W. Howard and George E. C. Hayes.

The list does not include the states in which lynchings have occurred and in which no effort has been made to apprehend persons guilty. Mobs have stuck their tongues out at state authority in Maryland, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Missouri, California and Alabama. MARYLAND Maryland's story and the lynching of George Armwood at Princess Anne are now common knowledge. The attorney general of Maryland recently appeared before a United States Senate investigating committee and admitted that the people and law-enforcement agencies of Somerset county in which Armwood was lynched, had thwarted every effort of the state to punish the lynchers, although the guilty parties were well known. Men, identified as lynchers, and arrested by the state, were freed by county authorities. Soldiers sent to Princess Anne to take in custody lynchers identified by 24 National Guardmen were driven from the city. The mob in Maryland usurped the state's authority when it seized Armwood from prison and hanged him and later defied the state to do anything about it. That was in November. FLORIDA Sunday, January 23, Robert Johnson was arrested in Tampa, Fla., as a suspect in an alleged attack on a white woman. Until Tuesday, police had been unable to obtain any evidence against him. Between 2 and 3 o'clock Wednesday morning, T. M. Graves, a private citizen, according to the story told, took Johnson from the city jail, ostensibly to transfer him to the county jail on a trumped-up charge of chicken stealing. Graves later declared that a band of men came upon him and killed Johnson. State's Attorney Farrar, of Hillsborough county, declared that examination of a dozen witnesses had not disclosed "a scintilla of evidence" against Johnson on any charge. County authorities attempted to move against the lynchers. The governor of the state demanded action and ordered Graves and his brother, Hardy, a constable, to appear before him for questioning. Paper Concerns Lynching The sequel: The Tampa Morning Tribune said editorially, February 28: "After an investigation of the killing of Robert Johnson, covering eight days, the grand jury reported that it was 'unable to find evidence which was sufficient, in our opinion, to find a t u bill against anyone." "The gt jury and jury also found that T. M. Graves, who took the Negro from the city jail and was supposed to be conveying him to the county jail, on a trumped-up charge of chicken stealing 'had no commission or authority of any kind' as an officer, therefore was usurping the functions and prerogatives of an officer (the state)." "The facts remain that there was no charge or evidence connecting Johnson either with criminal assault or with stealing chickens; and that he was foully murdered. The familiar verdict of 'persons unknown' doubtless will stand in this case; and it will take its place on the long list of unpunished crimes in this county and state. "Just another unsolved mystery—and another black mark on the record of Tampa and Florida." Thus in Florida, too, was the state's authority usurped and its power defied by the mob. SOUTH CAROLINA Last July 4, a mob seized Norris Dendy from the town lock-up at Clinton, South Carolina, and beat him to death. Says the Columbia (S.C.) State: "The Laurens county grand jury is reported in Associated Press dispatches (February 21) to have declined to act upon murder indictments against five white men charged with having part in the abduction and murder—it was first called a lynching—of Norris Dendy, Negro, on July 4, last. "Dendy, a resident of Clinton, had 'words' with a white man of that town, and was alleged to have struck him. The Negro was put into the town 'lock-up.' That night he was taken out of jail without interference, put in an automobile, carried out on a country road and beaten to death "It was all premeditated, and planned; a peculiarly brutal and cold blooded murder. Doubless Fourth of July whiskey played its part. One witness testified that he saw two of the men against whom indictments were drawn, take COCHRAN'S 1442 YOU ST. Next to U St. Post Office Phone DECATUR 1442 OFF--SALE PROMPT DELIVERY WINE and LIQUOR STORE Finest Quality at Honest Prices High Proof BEERS COCHRAN'S Dendy from the jail and jut him ir the automobile. "... So far as practical results are concerned, the failure to indict probably makes no difference. Convictions would have been most improbable. "It is our opinion, however, that the action—or non-action—at Laurens will contribute a store of valuable ammunition to the forces now engaged in making a fight to have federal agencies of justice take charge of cases of lynching, as they are now functioning against kidnappers. Surely and recently not so slowly these forces are gaining ground. Not only do such incidents as that at Clinton strengthen the hands of advocates of federal action against mob violence, but they weaken the resistance which can be made by Southerners honestly contending for the right of the state to have sole jurisdiction. The-right of the states in such matters is predicated by defenders of that right, on the ability of the states as well as their disposition, to perform their part in sustaining the law." Also in South Carolina, the mob usurped the authority of the state and defied its power. NORTH CAROLINA Editorially, the history of the synching of Dock Rogers at Burgaw, North Carolina, in August, is told in the following: "The News and Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) gives its full endorsement to the letter, which 'General Mecklenburg,' who speaks the editorial views of the Charlotte (N.C.) Observer, yesterday addressed to the Governor. The letter is as follows: "It has been about five months now since the state was shocked and shamed by the lynching of a Negro in Pender county, in broad daylight, in a community where practically everybody knows everyone else, and as I recall, the members of the mob were not disguised. And yet not one person has been brought to trial, arrested or even indicted for participation in the lynching, despite your urgent request of the district solicitor to make an exhaustive investigation. As a matter of fact, if the solicitor or anyone else in the district has bothered about the matter at all within the last several months, the public has not heard of it. "If you would maintain silence in connection with the matter hereafter, the county and district authorities would hardly take any further action. I hope, however, that as the Chief Magistrate of the state, you will not keep silent, but continue to urge action. "The case already has demonstrated the need of revision of the law to give the Governor more authority in such matters, so that lynchers may be brought to justice even when local and county authorities refuse to act. The matter should not be forgotten or overlooked when the General Assembly convenes again less than a year hence." "If North Carolina is unable to make any headway against this attack of the mob upon its law and justice, the state should admit it. Certainly North Carolina and its governor will not acquiesce in policy of shameful silence and apparent inactivity in connection with this most disgraceful crime against the justice and dignity of the state." Two for North Carolina Agan in North Carolina, the mob has usurped the state's authority and defied its power. In October, Cordie Cheek, 17-year-old boy, was seized near Fisk University campus, carried into an adjoining county and murdered by a band of men. The grand jury in Maury county had refused to indict him in connection with an alleged attack on a girl. The automobiles in which his abductors rode were identified by Fisk University students. Their owners, one a postmaster, were located. The governor of the state offered a reward of $1,000 for the apprehension of the parties engaged in the kidnapping and lynching. Civic and liberal- minded groups have sought to press action against the known lynchers. But the constituted authorities of the county have refused to act. The United States removed the postmaster from office. That is all. The state has done nothing. Said a white Nashville citizen before the Senate subcommittee which held hearings on the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill recently: "Some of us are now trying to raise funds to employ a special prosecutor to push this case." So, under the banner of Cordie Cheek, Tennessee joins the parade of those states whose authority has been usurped by the mob and its power defied. January 24. Rex Scott was taken from the jail at Hazard, Ky., by a mob of 300 men, carried to a graveyard and hanged from a tree. Scott had had a fight with a white man. The governor demanded that action be taken. The state legislature passed a resolution endorsing any action the governor might take. Seven suspects were seized one day, and released the next, on their own recognizance. That was three days after the lynching Since that time, nothing has been done, except that the governor removed the jailer from office. This Kentucky mob usurped the state's authority. It is reasonable to assume that local sentiment had an influence in the sudden release of the suspects arrested and their subsequent freedom from restraint. MISSOURI A mob of 7,000 stormed the jail at St. Joe, Missouri, November 27, took Lloyd Warner and murdered him. The state acted immediately to punish the lynchers, through the attorney general. The grand jury returned indictments. An assistant attorney general was appointed special prosecutor. The state brought its best case to trial first, that of Walter Garton, ex-convict and cook. Garton was acquitted despite the fact that several white witnesses for the state identified Garton as having been active in the mob and declared that he boasted of participation in the lynching. February 5, the Associated Press reported: "All pending cases will be dismissed as the result of the acquittal by a jury Saturday night of Walter Garton, one of the seven men charged with first degree murder in connection with the crime, In making the announcement at Jefferson City, Attorney General Roy McKittrick said the case against Garton was the strongest. "I am informed the jury was a group of good representative citizens of Buchanan county, and in view of the verdict of not guilty it would be useless to spend more money in prosecuting the other cases now pending," McKittrick said." Missourians thus defied the power of the state and forced the attorney general to back down. CALIFORNIA Immediately after the lynching of two white alleged kidnappers at San Jose, California, Gov. James Rolph announced that he would pardon any member of the mob who chanced to be convicted. His attitude rendered prosecutors powerless. All efforts by law and civic agencies to punish the lynchers were thwarted. Anthony Cataldi, who had boasted of his leadership of the mob, was arrested, but the grand jury refused to indict him. In California, the mob usurped the state's authority and the Governor surrendered its power. ALABAMA In one month, three Negroes were taken from the jail at Tuscaloosa, Alabama, and lynched. In an exhaustive investigation, representatives of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation found no evidence of guilt against any of them. The "better class" citizens, the Commission, newspapers in the state and in the city of Tuscaloosa, all demanded action against the lynchers. To date, nothing has been done. But, of course, it is not news to proclaim that the mob exercises state authority in Alabama and that the state yields to the mob's power. Public sentiment in all these states is against federal anti-lynching law. Says the Commercial Appeal of Memphis, Tenn.: —and "We Oppose" "...we oppose the intervention of the federal government in the THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE. THURSDAY. MARCH 15. 1934 administration of criminal laws as presumptuous and in violation of the constitutional rights of states." But Frank Smethurst writes in the News and Observer (Raleigh N.C.): "There is no stultification of the integrity of the Confederate soldier or his magnificent sacrifice or blood and property to confess that the banner of state's rights, in the middle of the nineteenth century was raised to protect the institution of slavery which no civilized person would undertake to defend in the middle of the twentieth century. "The citadel of state's rights, it must be remembered, was the refuge of those who could deny women equality of suffrage, though some of the unconstructed stood on even more vulnerable ground, the inferiority of women themselves. "The cry of state's rights was raised in opposition to the regulation of the whisky traffic and national prohibition. It was raised again by the whisky traffickers to regain their lost pastures. "State's rights, until most American rights were reduced to codes by President Roosevelt with grand acclaim, was the last resort of those who most bitterly and successfully balked the outlawing of child labor as a measure of national humanitarianism. "In the end, it might as well be admitted with as little argument as possible that the fruits of the state's rights controversies have been very little more benevolent than the major causes they have been invoked to decorate." LILLIAN EVANTI DISCUSSES OPERA AT MUSIC GUILD Group to Present Musicale at Metropolitan A.M.E. Church The regular monthly meeting of the Music Guild was held Tuesday night in the parlers of the Julia Caldwell dormitory, Howard University, at which time Madame Lillian Evanti spoke to the members and friends on the beginning and development of opera. With a career moulded in Italy, France, and Germany, countries contributing richly to this field of music, and having in her repertoire the leading soprano roles of fourteen operas, Madam Evanti was well qualified to present what proved to be an intensely interesting discourse, illustrated with examples from various operas sung by herself and Miss Louise Burge, a student at the Howard University School of Music, William Allen supplying the accompaniment in the Aria from Mozart's "Die Entfuhrung aus dem Serail," sung by Madame Evanti. The Music Guild, which numbers among its members teachers in the public schools, faculty members of the Howard University School of Music, and interested music lovers, and whose president is Miss Camille Nickerson, a former vice-president of the National Association of Negro Musicians, of which the Guild is a branch, is planning several important projects which will be announced in the near future. Their first Sunday musicale to be given in the city churches will occur at 8 p.m., this Sunday, at the Metropolitan Methodist Church. M Street between Sixteenth and Seventeenth Streets, Northwest, at which time prominent soloists will take part and Miss Nickerson will explain the ideals and objectives of the organization.

Tuttle, noted New York attorney, will appear, before the Senate judiciary sub-committee at Washington to testify on the constitutionality of the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill within the next ten days, according to a letter received here by Walter White, secretary of the National Association, for the Advancement of Colored People, from Senator Van Nuys, chairman of the sub-committee. "We are also going to fix a date," writes Senator Van Nuys, "within the next two weeks, when the opposition to this bill may be heard." The voluminous proceedings of the first hearing are being printed in two volumes. Illinois Voters Query Sen. Dieterich on Bill CHICAGO, ILL.-Irvin C. Mollison, president of the Illinois State Conference of the N.A.A.C.P. branches reports that letters urging Senator William H. Dieterich to support the Costigan-Wagner anti-lynching bill have been sent from each Illinois branch as well as from Mr. Mollison's office. Mr. Mollison wrote: "The Illinois State Conference... and members deeply regret your position in this matter. We do not believe that the position taken by you is a sound one and we respect- fully request that you give the matter further consideration and instead of opposition to the anti- 54 85 lynching bill and one of its vital sections, that you give it your whole-hearted support." Senator Dieterich continually raised the point at the hearings in Washington February 20-21 that the section imposing a fine on the county in which a lynching take-place would be "unfair" to the "good" people of the county. Sues Doctors for Wife's Death SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.— (A N P) — William. Fernandez, white, of this city, has entered suit against two colored physi- cians, Dr. C. Roy Busch, and Dr. O. W. DeVaughn, both of Oak- land, Calif. for $150,000, following the death of his with, Mrs. Birdie Fernandez, 2332 E. 24th Street, who died while under medical atten- tion of the two doctors. The THREE complaint charges that his wife died after the two doctors had treated his wife for five days. Mrs. Fernandez was the mother of an infant baby, William, Jr. Dr. Busca in a statement said that the charges were ridiculous. He was called to attend the young woman he said and found her suffering from blood poisoning. He then called Dr. DeVaughn in for consultation. The hu band was told at the time Dr. Busch said that his wife was suffering from an infection which had reached an advanced state. Both physiicians prominent in their profession and in the social and civic life of the bay cities.

We have read Many statements and reports which show that our people re- ceive the larger part of the relief given by the government through its various agencies in this city. This, fact cannot be denied; but the fact itself raises an- other very important question: Why? Is it because our people are prone to be beggars? No. Is it because we would rather receive dole than to work? No. There are a number of reasons that make this condition true—on its face a reflection on our group—conditions that should be seriously considered by the administration. Proportionately we have a far great- er unemployment than our white neigh- bors. Those of our people whose work is domestic have suffered because the employer housewife now does her own household work. Chauffeurs are re- placed by owners, who during this de- pression have been forced to drive their own cars, or put them up. Laborers at outside work have been cut off by both bad weather and lack of building. Large trucks of five-and ten-ton ca- pacities are replacing one-and two-ton trucks thereby throwing out of work thousands of our men who in the past have depended on this type of work. ‘These men and women of our group will be eternally on the relief list un- less those in authority open new ave- nues of EMPLOYMENT for these peo- ple. DISCRIMINATION js bad enough in the matter of employment, but worse than that is the fact that certain lines of work are completely CLOSED to our people. ‘The government itself, here in Wash- ington, should set the example by opening new avenues of employment for our men and women, Industry should be urged to let down the bars, union or no union, and employ our men and women in lines of work they are qualified to do. Why not motormen and conductors? Why not gas station attendants? Why not gas company collectors? Why not telephone lines- men and installation workers? Why not gardners in our parks? All these avenues are closed—not to mention the shut-door as to clerical work in our government—except where there is a jim-crow bureau here and there. The President of the United States can an should give this situation se- rious thought, or the governments, both national and state will perpetually be burdened with these millions of willing and worthy people, dealt with as pau- pers, merely because their skins are dark. In considering the forgotten man we must be considered for we are really the forgotten people of this country. Creditors vs. Teachers Never has there been a clearer illus- tration of the extent to which the pri- vate affairs of our public schools teach- ers can be invaded than has come to light in the recent investigations and rackings-over-the-coals of. alleged “debt-dodging” teachers. Unless some limitation is placed upon this method of intimidating teachers, the Board of Education will be transformed into a collection agency and be a tool for the merchant creditors of Washington. The exercise of the board’s authority in this respect should be so controlled that unfairness to a teacher could be an impossibility It is our opinion that the authority of the board to look into these cases was never infended to extend to teach- ers who may be indebted to some in- dividual or firm, but rather, to those teachers who are deliberate and chron- fic “debt-dodgers.” The board should be ever mindful of the distinction be- tween a mere “debtor” and a “debt. dodger.” The time consumed by the official o1 officials making the investigati6n of the complaints filed, necessarily impress upon him an unpleasant duty as wel as tends to lessen his available time t perform the-duties for which the ta: payers pay. Every fair-minded person is adversi to “debt-dodging,” but we should als be mindful of the possible abuse of : power, which in fae to all, sheule no process of reasoning, exist; no at omnipotent Board of Edu | Distriet of Columbia. © JEDIT CAINE The time, effort and energy being used by our school board in its en- deavor to browbeat, intimidate and control the Liquor Control Board of our city, could well be spent along some educational line far more in keepfng with its purpose and its duty. The arguments advanced as to the 400 feet proximity of retail liquor stores to schéols, or any other proxi- mity (definite or indefinite) is abso- lutely absurd. For if the store was 401 feet away what on earth would stop a child from walking or even jumping that one foot if determined to procure liquor? Is it not also true that if 1,000 feet away most of the pupils have to pass these places on their way home? Is it not also true that the child can go home and then after four, five or six o'clock go and find a liquor store? Is it not also true that the law has now the teeth that would deter any dealer from selling to a minor? A dealer suspect- ed of selling to minors could be easily trapped with marked money or by wit- nesses, and when caught — prosecuted and punished. And again, these would-be custedians of our morals have no control over the home where self-respecting citizens will now take their liquor, placed on the shelf or even on the table. Parents are not excited over this “great evil” of liquor stores. Parents are glad to keep these same children, particularly of high school age, from the damnable bootleg dives where not only is liquor sold but other vices far worse, are en- geged in. As between two evils we parents would rather have the store next door to the school operated by business men of integrity than to so restrict the stores as to keep open the dives and rendezvous to which our youth have been going.

During a trial last week in the Police Court, Attorney Samuel Levine, white, identified with the International Labor Defense which is affiliated with the Communist party, in defending two girls, one colored and the other white, constantly referred to the colored girl as Margaret (her full name was Mar- garet Flemmings) and the white girl as Miss Playton (Florence Playton). The distinction made by Levine was noticeable to the entire crowded court room. We expect the common ilk of white lawyers ’to call colored women by their first names, but we had been led to believe that Communists were on the level when they paraded about the streets locked arm and arm with color- ed comrades and fellow workers. The distinction made referring to the girls was deliberate by “Comrade” Levine. ee eee | Make Sponsors Responsible Every day, school children are asked by their teachers to bring a penny for this and a dime for that. It is notice- able that practically every school is selling something or other and the chil- dren are asked to pay. We understand the “candy racket” was broken up by the board of educa- tion, but what with other so-called “activities” the teachers are still de- manding pupils’ pennies. In many instances the teachers infer that children who do not subscribe to these “rackets” will be “looked down on” or embarrassed. Cut out all of these “rackets” unless the sponsors take full responsibility for paying the costs. a If the dry fanatics have their way about repeal regulations, no merchant will be granted a permit unless he proves that school children do not walk on his side of the street. ——_.____ At this writing, Dr. Emmett J.

MARCH 15. 1934 Kelly Miller Asks Shall We Have Race Quota . In Industry? : The government does not undertake to abolish race distinction, but abolish race discrimination. In industry, the case is imminent and threaten- ing. The early doom of the city Ne- gro depends on the outcome. There is not work enough for all. I contributed an article to the New York Herald-Tribune for February 25, under the above caption which has evoked considerable comment. The suggestion itself is of such important interest that I feel justified in am- plitying it for my wide circle of Afro-Ameri- can readers. ‘ President Roosevelt, in his radio broadcast on March 4, pointed out with his usual clarity the purpose of this industrial feature of the New Deal. Capital and management, on the one hand, and labor on the other, constitute the component factors of the industrial equa- tion, while the government acts as arbiter to see that neither shall take unfair advantage of the other nor upset the public interest by their harmful antagonisms. Labor organizations are given the undis- puted right of collective bargaining. We were also told that this is not a temporary emer- gency. Hitherto the Negro has been but a per- manent feature between the two. On the whole capital has been his protector for its own ends While labor has fought him as an industrial rival. But now under government umpireship the Negro is no longer the bone of contention. Labor cannot be forced to take him in, nor can capital be forced to hire him. But if taken in by the one and hired by the other, he must be treated fairly according to established codes. The Joint Committee on National Recovery has drawn a damaging bill of grievances on account of racial injustice and inequality under operation of the codes. Some of these the government might remedy, if it has the dis- Rosition to do so; others fall to the preroga- tive of capital and labor. But if all of the grievances were remedied, in so far as the gov- ernment can bring it about, the racial bar would recur with its intolerable barriers, sub- stantially the same as we see operating in South Africa, PHILANTROPHY—YES, BUT NOT EMPLOYMENT The Negro is practically excluded from the higher arts and craft or is relegated to the lower level of manual and menial performance. The! Sotith justifies differentiated treatment on racial grounds; the North is disposed to ex- clude him from the higher industrial pursuits, as being a negligible and tromblesome minority, In New England, where kindly racial attitude roots in philanthropy, industrial exclusion is most rigorous. The caste system is fixed all but as rigidly as in India. The ordinary pass- enger would all but fall dead at the sight of a Negro engineer, motorman or conductor on our railways or street cars, The government shows no disposition to modify or abolish this sinister color bar. When the Federa! government took over the opera- tion of the railroads, it left jim-crow cars un- disturbed. Negroes remained ineligible for the upper places in the service. Indeed the gov- ernment first established the principle of racial quotas, During the Civil War it ordained colored regiments to be recruited from the Negro race, U.S. colored troops is a fixed Army institu- tion. In the Navy where no such provision is made, the Negro is left on dry ground. The Civil 'Serviec which expressly forbids distinc- tion of discrimination on account of race ot color, by cuuningly devised tricks and schemes has effectively eliminated the Negro from the clerical grade of service and relegated him to the lower level of government work with in- ferior rank and pay, The only exception to this is found in segre- gated colored divisions, staffed and managed by Negro clerks. I will have more to say on this seore in later releases, Herein lies the norm of the quota basis. Our public schools, wherever there is a large colored contingent, operate on this principle. DOES THE GOVERNMENT THINK ON THESE THINGS? The fundamental question is, shall this prin- ciple through compromise be applied to indus- try? The basic thesis is: Shall the govern- ment, sinee it can not or will not abolish race distinction in industry and give the Negro his chance, man for man, see to it that both capi- tal and labor give him a fair proportion of places, in all grades of work and pay, in the ‘geveral industries? This is precisely what the government itself engages to do in those ac- tivities which fall under its exclusive control, in fulfillment of the New Deal, This is the declared policy of the C.C.L., the C.W.A., the P.W.A., and other federal projects, The government does not undertake to abolish sace distinction, but abolish race discrimina- tion. In industry, the case is imminent and threatening. The early doom of the city Ne- gro depends on the outcome. There is not work enongh for all. If no single Negro were employed, million: of white work folks would still be idle. The white Igboring world must either divide with the Negro its work or its wages. Capital must give him work or support him in idleness Charity can not continue to support two mil- lion Negroes on doles, The government ‘can not impose taxes for this purpose. This would produce a race of vagabonds and “laby-bones’ deficient in the character and independent spirit requisite to good citizenship, Enlightened and practical statesmanship must act, and act now. the Negro is shattered, ; 3. Mob law gains supremacy over Federal law. 4. The status of the Negro citizen has been reduced to that of a menacing animal, 5. Neon, since no protection is afforde: them will ever be in fear for their safety. FLORENCE BEVERLY HOWELL, Forgotten Romances of Negro ‘By CARTER G, WOODSON, of Washington, D.C., Editor of the “Journal of Negro Histery,” and Ruther of ‘The Newro in Our History.” “The Mis-Education of the Neato,” ‘and “The Negre Professional Man.” One of the first American Ne- groes to write his name high in the hall of fame was Estevanico, or Little Stephen, the explorer of what is now New Mexico and Ari- zona. Estevanico was a member of the unfortunate expedition of Narveez, who undertook to get con- trol of the country between Florida and the Rio de las Palmas, in Mex- ico. Estevanico was born in Aza- mor, Morocco, probably about the year 1500. He sailed first from Spain in 1527 along with 506 per- sons, They landed on the coast of Florida and undertook to expldre the interior og the country. They were so frequently attacked by the Indians and suffered so many hard- ships, however, that their number diminished to '240 in about three months; and by the end of the year only four remained, - ‘These four, including Estevantco, finally reached the coast of Texas. For eight years they wandered among the Indians ‘and finally made their lot easier by serving the Aborigines as “medicine men.’ These explorers knew so | much more than the Indians about sim- ple remedies that the red men mar- veled at their medical skill and came from afar in crowds to be cured. ‘The Europeans finally returned to Spain, but Estevanico remained in Mexico, where he continued to learn more and more about the In- dian languages and customs. Be- cause of his knowledge of these things he was selected as the guide for the expedition northward to “Cibola” in, 1539, Referring to ‘the instruction of Fray Mareos to Estevanico, Edward Channing, the historian, says, “He ordered him to proceed in advance for fifty or sixty leagues and to report the probability of success by sending back wooden crosses, If the news which the Negro gathered Was of moderate importance only, he was to send back a cross the size of the palm of his hand; if the news were better, the cross might be larger. Four days later an In- dian came into ee A cross as tall as aman. With him was another Indian, who told the friar of seven large cities with houses of stone and lime, some of them four stories in height. The portals of the principal houses, he said, were ornamented with designs in tur- auoise, Other crosses greeted Fray Marcos as he journeyed onward to claim the country in the name of Spain.” ‘The Maroons in Jamaica In Jamaica many Negroes am- bitious to be free escaped to the south and east sides of the islands and established themselves in strongholds. At one time they held aS many as five towns. These fu- gitives were later increased by cer- tain Coromantees brought by the English from Africa. Accustomed to war on the coast of Africa, these natives readily Joined the Maroons in their attack cn the English planters. Their leader was Cudjoe, whose war fame united under him’ all fugitive Ne- groes in the various settlements. Gudjoe was a short man, unusually stout, with strong African features ard a peculiar wildness in his man- ner. The Maroons as a whole, kowever, were not of this type. Giving an impression of them, Bryan Edwards said: “Such fine Persons are seldom beheld among ana other class of African or nae tive blacks. Their demeanor is lofty, their walk firm, and their persons erect. Every motion dis- plays a combination of strength and agility. The muscles (neither hid- Gen nor depressed by clothing) are very prominent and strongly mark- ed.” Their sight withal is wonder- fully acute, and their hearing re- markably quick.” It was difficult to defeat them, for surprise and ambush were the chief principles of their warfare. They seldom risked themselves in open battle. When under fire they retreated among the cliffs and val- leys and covered them with traps and pits to make their conquest by the English all but impossible. Af- ter yeays of such conflict the plant- ers decided it best in 1837 to make @ treaty of peace with Cudjoe, granting him and his followers freedom. A little later a similar treaty was made with the Maroons led by Quao, a leader of others, who did not always co-operate ‘with Cudjoe. Palmares, the Negro Numantia ‘The greatest undertaking of the Maroons, however, was that of the little Negro Republic in Brazil, Palmares. Professor Charles E. Chapman calls it the Negro Nu- mantia, inasmuch as its career re- ‘sembles so much that of Numantia against which the Romans fought for a number of years before they could invade the city. Because of History reported to have a population of twenty thousand, .with ten thou- sand fighting men, Palmares, the name of the capital of the republic, was surrounded by wooden wal!s made of the trunks of trees and entered by huge gates. It was pro- vided with watch towers and out- posts for sentry service. In the course of time the popu- lation of this village gradually in- creased because of the eagerness of slaves and freemen to seek ref- uge in the forests. In the begin- ning they supported themselves by a sort of banditry, taking food, slaves and women ,whether mulat- to, black or white. 'They later set- tled down to agriculture, and es- tablished trade relations ‘with the Portuguese in the peaceful parts of Brazil.. Palmares then became a sort of nation, with the desirable features of the republican and mon- archal forms of government. The government was presided over by a chief executive called the Zombe, who ruled with absolute authority during life. No one could become ‘a candidate for office un- less he was one of the bravest men of the community and had Negro blood in his veins. In the interest ef good order the Zombes made laws imposing the death penalty for murder, adultery, and rob- bery. Slavery was not discon- tinued but a premium was placed on freedom. All Negroes who won their freedom by successful flight to Palmares remained free, where- as those who were captured as slaves continued as such in Pal- mares. The Negro Republic, however, was an unnatural growth in the eyes of the Portuguese. It was considered a resort for fugitive Ne- ‘groes who were an ever-increasing danger to Brazil. In 1698, there- fore, Governor Caetano de Mello, of Pernambuco, ordered an expe- dition to proceed against the city. These brave blacks met the invad- ing forces and indisputably defeat- ed them. Returning some years later, however, with an army of seven thousand men under the command of a more competent sol- dier with adequate artillery, the Portuguese reached the city after some difficulty and placed it in a state of siege. The defense of this city was he- roic. “After the Portuguese had breached the walls in three places,” says Professor Chapman, “their in- fantry attacked in force. They en- tered the city, but had to take it foot by foot. At last the defenders came to the center of Palmeres, where a high cliff impeded further retreat. Death or surrender were the only alternatives. Seeing that his cause was lost beyond repair, the Zombe hurled himself over the cliff, and his example w'# followed by the most distinguistied of his fighting men. Some persons were taken, but it is perhaps a tribute to Palmeres, though a gruesome one, that they were all put to death; despite the value of their labor it was not safe to enslave these men. ‘Thus passed Palmares, the Negro Numantia, most famous ‘and thi ocentilt af tha. Resaiiiac. Some Negroes, however, fighting their own battles, became free by outwitting their masters and run- ning away to find better friends. Such was the case of Diaguillo, a native of Havana. Because of mal- treatment by the Governor of Com- peche, to whom he was bound as a servant, this mulatto desperately ventured to swim to one of the Dutch ships in Havana. As he of- fered to serve the Dutch against those who had abused him, he eas- ily became a favorite among them. Soon thereafter he married a Dutch girl and rose to the position of captain of a vessel under the com- mand of the famous and dreadful commander named Pie de Palo. Coming aboard the ship on which Sir Thomas Gage was sailing, the corsair took four thousand pesos’ worth of jewelry and pearls and deprived the individuals of their Personal belongings. But because of | Gage’s ministerial profession Diaguillo permitted him to, retain some books, pictures, and clothes. He said to Gage, “If fortune today is on my side, tomorrow it may be ‘on yours, and what Ihave won today, that I may lose tomorrow.” Diaguillo then prepared a sump- tuous dinner, to which he invited Gage. Thanking the crew for the good luck they had brought him, the, corsair took leave of the cap- ‘Geen, This Week | | By HAROLD G.

By, ROGER DIDIER ' Digesting the or the Awvoclated Negro Pres Se THE COSTIGAN-WAGNER BILL|! i, Se Aye Stripped of its legalistic ver- biage, the Costigan-Wagner bill is a measure so framed that Congress by enacting it into law gives the federal government statutory pow- er to impose penalties upon politi- cal subdivisions in which lynchings occur and the officers charged with keeping the peace thereof. The authors of the bill and its proponents have purposely avoided & strict definition of lynching, but under the terms of the measure any persan who may have come to his death at the hands of a “mob or rioutous assemblage . . . composed of three or more persons acting in ‘concert, without authority of law” is = victim of lynching. Such a person shall be assumed to have been denied the equal pro- tection of the law guaranteed by state and federal constitutions. Penalties are provided for officers or employes of states or other gov- ernmental subdivisions who fail to use their authority to prevent lynchings or to apprehend and pun- ish the lynchers. Upan conviction, ‘a fine of $5,000 may be imposed upon such officers, imprisonment for not more than five years, or both such fine and imprisonment. If such an officer shall be con- victed of having conspired with the “mob or riotous assemblage,” - he is liable to imprisonment for not less than five years oF for life. The United States district court in the district in which a lynching occurs is empowered to proceed against lynchers if state officers fail or refuse to act, or if it is dis- closed that jurors ‘obtainable for service in the state courts are so strongly opposed to. punishment that there is no probability that those guilty can be pifhished in the state court. Failure of the state to act within thirty days will give the federal government the right to proceed under the law. Any county in which a lynching occurs will forfeit the sum of $10,- 000 to the vietim’s family, or his dependent parents, or if he have neither family or parents, to the United States. If the county re- fuses to pay, the United States may enforce the payment by a levy of execution upon any property of the county, by mandamus or other appropriate process, the bill further ptovides that if any person seized in oné county shall be lynched in another, the county in which he is seized and the county in which he is put to death “shall be jointly and sever- ally liable” to pay the $10,000 for- feiture. world is not a perfect one, and the humans that live in it are always apt to make mistakes. The: Bible is supposed to have been written by men urider_the guidance of the Holy Spirit. They are said to have written facts and those facts are not to be ques- tioned by those who believe, But there are times when doubts and questions arise in our minds that are not part of us, though we may be believers. We question and wonder about the very existence of Him who made us. That is because we are humans and prone to seek the secrets regarding death as well as life. One of the questions which a- rises from the depths of my brain cells is: Did God make a mistake in suffering the world to be popu- lated by several races of men in- stead of just one? T am persuaded by some force other than mine to believe that He did make a mistake. If he did not commit an error then he is not responsible for the situation. So the only other force to place the blame on is Old Satan himself. He is more than apt to be the guy who is playing the dirty trick on us by raising so much sand on earth over the tace question. Any way, I wish those wise men had not thought of the bright idea of trying to reach heaven via the tower route. They should have built themselves an aeroplane in- etead. Among the twenty-four hours in the day, at least one hour should be devoted by every living soul to the contemplation of the broad as- pects of life. Those who do this effectively usually dominate the thought and actions of others who are simply_machines for the dis- charge of physical energy. ‘A Watch Compass A watch can be used as a com- pass.

BEST NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITAL Omega Mardi Gras Hilarious Social Event On last Friday evening, the Omega Mardi Gras was held at the Lincoln Colonnade. It proved to be quite a hilarious affair. All styles of costumes were in evidence as the gay crowd flitted here and there to the merry tunes of the Ambassadors' orchestra. Miss Doris Risher, after some dispute, was crowned Queen of the affair. She wore a jeweled head gear. Her dress was quite striking, made with an upper bodice of metal cloth to which was attached a skirt of transparent, sheer, dark tone material. Many guests preferred to wear simply their evening clothes, so most anything wearable was in order. What difference did it make? Everyone was there at the Mardi Gras to have fun. The Omega members were quite conspicuous in their grieen coats and certainly started a whirlwind of fun on their arrival after a private fete at the Omega house. Seen among the Mardi Gras revellers were: Olga DeNeal, in black satin pajamas; Bobby Dean in an abbreviated costume of shorts plus a tie; Miss Syphax, in an exceedingly striking costume of white organdy with pink sash and pink organdy hat; Henry Hudson, representing an officer of the R.O.T.C.; Perry Howard, sailor suit; Lillian Gaskins, pongee pajamas. Dan Cupid was there in his original costume, in the person of Alfred Petty. Albert Steele wore a Turk's costume, which was very attractive, in fact considered one of the best representations of the affair. George Whitted wore a chain-gang suit; Ellan Reed, shorts; Isabelle Chism was charming in a black costume with black fingernails to match; Florence Phillips was quite unique in her linen shorts; and Junita Evans adorable in a red and black Chinese pajama ensemble. Many more costumes might be mentioned, but suffice to say everyone looked good and had a good time. Everyone is now looking forward to the Kappa dance generally scheduled for Easter Monday morning. Easter is a little early this year, but already many orders have been given for new gowns of the latest style which the young ladies hope to feature. Speaking of the latest in wearing apparel, it would certainly be worth your while to attend the "Bal Vogue" to be given April 13, at the Lincoln Colonnade. Apparel of every description and the appropriate time for wearing various types of dresses will be given. The latest fashions for men will also be featured. Miss Audrienne Marshall is in charge of the fashion parade and will intersperse many new dance numbers during the afternoon. SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY FOR MRS.

Twin Queens of Filmland ANP LOS ANGELES, Calif.-The above photos show Hollywood's newest, and perhaps youngest, little dance artists in the persons of Miss Charlotte (left) and Charlane Derricks, five-year-old daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Derrick, of Sacramento, California, who are in filmland looking about for a suitable vehicle for their extraordinary talents. The twins sing as well as dance and have filled long-term engagements at the Kiddies Theatre in the Capitol and at the famous Travelers' Hotel in that city. Charlotte has eyes that won't behave, while Charlane claims that Mae West hasn't a thing on her. Mamma Derrick accompanied the young ladies to Hollywood and supervises the business end of their art.-(A.N.P.) PEARLIE'S PRATTLE All About Lovely Ladies and Big, Bold, Wonderful Men Do step softly as you enter Scaton Place, Northwest, and when you get directly in front of No. 128 (Mr. and Mrs. William Curtis live there) be as "quiet as a mouse," (of course, if you've been dealing in 3.2 or maybe rich, red "Result of Repeal" and find that you positively, absolutely cannot tiptoe about, be as quiet as you can). Otherwise, you may disturb the dainty slumbers of the tiny lady that only a day or so ago arrived at that address. As for the wee newcomer, herself, what better luck could one wish for than that she grow right up to look and act "jes lak her lovely ma." See $n$ at a smart gathering recently were Mr. and Mrs. J. Edgar Smith of 1812 Ninth Street, Northwest. Mrs. Smith was charming in a warm brown fur coat, a snappy hat of some subtle shade of red and reddish sort of earrings. The Smiths have as their guest Mrs. Gandy of St. Paul, Minna. The entrancing Mrs. Gandy evidently likes our pretty city (she's been here since January, maybe longer). And why wouldn't the lady get a rosy view of this or any other city as long as she's the guest of such interesting people as the J. Edgar Smith's? More refreshing good humor I'm sure you have never seen. A woman weighing about 299 pounds (looked exactly like Mrs. H——) squeezing and squirming her way through a crowded street car at the rate of a mile every six weeks, and saying with a smile as she finally emerged intact, "Gee, I'm glad I'm thin!" How these "Lee's" do go places and do things! While Mrs. Harriet A. Lee, of 9 Iowa Circle was seeing Atlantic City as the guest of Miss Julia Goenis (Phi Delta Kappa pational president) her daughter, Mrs. Ruth Lee McAbee, of Baltimore, was not only letting New York City see her, but was also giving the gay Metropolis a sample of her delightful singing. The occasion was a Tea sponsored by Mrs. Addie W. Hunton and the setting was a private art gallery on Riverside Drive. Among the interested listeners to Mrs. McAbee's lovely soprano solos were the opera singer, Caterina Yarbore, and Washington's own former Lottie Wallace (Mrs. Peter Murray) who is a sweet sort of a songbird herself. Surely in all the history of S Street there has never been more excitement in a certain block than there is these days. And all because two lovely ladies, Mrs. Elizabeth Tinsley, 122 S Street, and Mrs. Bonita Hawkins 127 S Street are going to play the role of Indiana in a pretty pageant Sunday night. Far into the evening (every evening) they are rushing backward and forward into and out of each other's homes, desperately trying to assemble fitting costumes. What with their all their jewels and trinkets; all the gay, woven fabrics Mrs. Hawkins's husband brought home from Africa; and all the beads and rouge and earrings owned by Mrs. Tinsley's dainty daughters, these two nearby neighbors should make "heap much pretty Indians." If you see a lot of men (on women either for that matter) all chummy and everything with their mothers-in-law, don't take up your tedious time trying to figure out the reason. It's this: They prob- THE WASHINGTON TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1934 ably love their mothers-in-law the same way you love yours. But they're "piling on the taffy" to get those self-same little in-laws to attend the Junior Matrons' St. Patrick's Day Party on Friday night. So, if you or your friends have just any kind of a mother-in-law at all (she may not be worth a "dime" but she may win a prize). That is, if she's very fat or thin, very long or short, very old or young, or maybe pretty as a picture. Speaking of the beautiful singing of the Howard University Choir these Sunday mornings, wouldn't you like to know the name and so forth of the slim, smiling, dark-eyed, long-haired little soprano who sits on the front row (No. 2 from the left of the speaker)? So would I. --- If you think that all the lively "chirping" you hear is being done by the birds you are wrong. The unprecedented snows of the past few weeks caused many a golden note to freeze in poor birdies' throat before it could ever burst into song. So, some of the "humming" and "buzzing" is all about the N.A.A.C.P. and the important persons who are preparing to do important things for the organization. Scarcely a week has gone by since that dynamic individual, Mrs. Virginia McGuire assumed command, and already, forming into line and anxious for action, are numerous lieutenants—indefatigable workers all. There is Mr. Archie Pinkett, for instance, and Mr. Davidson (Eugene), Mrs. Helen Harris and Miss Florence Colline and—but—why go on? Everybody it seems is willing to help dear Lady McGuire (she can even have my poor aid if she wants it. Not that it would do her any good, for, barring a bunch of relations, there's hardly a soul you could find that would give a thin dime for the very best job I can do). **** Dashing toward Wing 3 of the beautiful new Howard University Dormitory last Monday evening were a lot, of musicians (most of them members of the Treble Clef Club (out to see and hear the lovely Lillian Evanti. Among those present were Miss Camille Nickerson, who is several kinds of a musical star herself, Mrs. Gregorio Goines of Thirteenth Street, and Mrs. Naomi Evans, wife of Dr. Elias Evans of U Street. Too bad you had to miss it. But take this tip from me: The very next time you hear of just anything at all being staged by the Treble Clef Club, drop all your other engagements and rush immediately over. You certainly won't, be sorry either. The broad smile on the face of Mr. J. A. Lankford, the architect of 1750 S Street, simply shows that being first vice-president of the popular Musolit Club, he knows all about the spectacular time that's in store for us all at the big Club's gay Beach Ball. The Deanwood Women's Club met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Compton, $14 Forty-four Street, Northeast, last Tuesday eve-Plans were laid at the time for spring activities of the club.

Capacity Crowd Sees "Rip Van Winkle" The Armstrong auditorium was filled to capacity on Thursday afternoon, March 15, with parents, teachers, and children, who witnessed the most enjoyable performance for children ever held in Washington. From the rising of the curtain until its lowering the adventurous and delightful figure Rip Van Winkle of Washington Irving's famous story, held the children spell-bound. Easy-going Rip much preferred hunting and rambling among the hills to farming, so after much nagging by Dame Winkle he took to the mountains. Momentous changes took place during his twenty years' absence. Small wonder then that he rubbed his eyes in amazement and caused the children to roar in mirth at his antics. Famous Players Participate Wendell Whitten had the title role; he has appeared on many stages in Walter Hampden's "Syran- ade Bergerac." Arnold Bennett's "The Great Adventure," and hosts of other successes.

HAYES Congressman Oscar DePriest, of Illinois, who is the only Negro in Congress, was recently sent a letter of commendation from Interdepartmental No. 20 Lodge of the American Federation of Government Employees which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor for his continuous support for the 15 per cent restoration. Attorney Robert Lee Vann, of Pittsburgh, special assistant to the Attorney General, though one of the biggest Democrats in the country among Negroes, is maintaining a neutral attitude toward the participants in the fight for the D. C. Municipal judgeship now held by James A. Cobb, of New Orleans. Vann's only interest is, I hear, that a Democrat gets the job. Joseph (G.P.O.) Sewall is now a full fledged Alpha Phi Alpha member. Joe could hardly sit down the day after the initiation. Eugene Kinnickle (Commerce) Jones, Advisor on Negro Affairs, was not present at the Mu-So-Lit Club from last Friday night when the New Deal was analyzed. He was celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary and had Vann with him. Lieutenant Laurence (Labor) Oxley, recently appointed Commissioner of Conciliation at the Labor Department to succeed my friend Karl Phillips, is head man of the Omega Psi Phi fraternity. Mr. Phillips, like Billboard Jackson, was sacrificed on the altar of political affiliation. He is a Republican. William (Interior) Hastie, recently appointed a special assistant to the solicitor, is said to be one of the few Negroes appointed who is doing anything. Bill is also a writer of no mean ability. He recently threatened to expose the special correspondent. O. A. (Bureau of Industrial Alcohol) Bartholomew, who first advised the writer to take a Civil Service examination, is in town visiting Edward (Liberty Loan) Henderson, his friend and pal. Mr. Bartholomew is one of the few efficient store keepers and gaugers in the Federal service. He is one of the only two of color. I understand their beginning salary is $1,800. George (Coast and Geodetic Survey) Rycraw was recently appointed a member of a board of three to review complaints of employees in the Commerce Department. The Solicitor of the Department is one of the first two. Bureau (Bureau of Fisheries) Jackson is formulating plans to reorganize his golf classes. He intends to collaborate with the Newshawk in writing a golf column in the very near future. Albert (State Department) Rice is working on a new poem. Al is a personal friend of Langston Hughes and owns (if the writer will return it to him) an autographed copy of one of Langston's earliest edited groups of poems in which a couple of poems of Al's appear. Beatrice (Emergenv Relief) Murphy, who writes a very thought-provoking column weekly for The Tribune, is organizing with Link Johnson's mother a Saturday night Literature Lovers' group similar to the Quill Club organized in Boston by Eugene Gordon of "Thirteen Most Important Negroes" fame. Trezzvant (P.O.) Anderson, who was displaced as chief correspondent (Washington) of the A.N.P. by Gene (Harvard U.) Davidson, almost succeeded in placing a correspondent of color in the Senate Press Gallery. Catherine (Interior) Brannum, who is swing woman among the char-women of the Commerce Department, has what Commerce Department Clerk head over heels in love with her? T. Arthur (State Department) Smith, who is a recognized authority on Negro history, is scheduled to address the Saturday night forum of the New Negro Alliance which meets each Saturday night in the assembly room of the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A., at 7:30. Mr. Smith may share speaking honors with T. Dupont Georges, president of the Progressive Consumers' League and editor of the Progressive Consumer. The Government Standard, the official organ of the American Federation of Federal Employees, ran a special article on page two of its March 2 issue which might be of interest to readers of this column. It follows: "The Washington Tribune carries an interesting column, entitled 'Federal News, Notes,' edited by Laurence J. W. Hayes, in which news of importance to Government workers is capably presented." "Mr. Hayes is turning out a live column that is proving highly valuable to the Government employees who follow it regularly, and the national officers of the A.F.G.E. (E. Claude Babcock and Miss Esther Penn) wish him all success." Whiskey will be sold for less than $1 a quart at the 100 state-operated dispensaries when Virginia becomes officially wet on March 22, Senator John W. Eggleston, chairman of the State Rum Study Commission, predicted this week. Eggleston stated: "It is the primary purpose of the State of Virginia to rid itself of the bootlegger and criminal rather than to raise revenue. The State will derive sufficient revenue from the sale of beer and wines without making whiskey prices prohibitive." Eggleston said that price lists shown him by liquor salesmen have thoroughly convinced him that blends of rye whiskey can easily be sold for $1 a quart or less at the dispensaries. He predicted that there would be a great demand for corn whiskey manufactured by the state, which he said could be retained for as little as 75 cents a quart. Armstrong Student Wins Art Scholarship Norma Howell, Armstrong High School senior, has again been awarded a $25 art scholarship by the Federal School of Art, Minneapolis, Minnesota, it was announced this week. Judged on artistic ability, proper proportion, and neatness, the drawing was given a rating of 85%. Miss Howell, who resides at 1630 Irving Street, Northwest, was the first colored entrant to win a prize at this school. This is the second prize that has been awarded her Dr. Scott to Remain on District Parole Board Dr. Emmett J. Scott, only colored member of the Parole Board, denied this week that he is contemplating resigning. Every member of the board resigned last week after declaring that Congress and the District Commissioners did not permit the board to function efficiently. Dr. Scott stated to The Tribune that he had held a conference with William W. Bride, new chairman or the board, and Mr. Bride "was happy to have me remain" said Dr. Scott. Members of the Pleasant Plains Civic Association asked police to investigate a disorderly house at 767 Columbia Road following several complaints by residents in the vicinity. The association also asked the District commissioners to install lights in an alley between Columbia Road, Irving Street, Georgia and Sherman Avenues, and another alley in the rear of Fairmont Street between Eleventh and Thirteenth Streets. The candidacy of Judge James A. Cobb for the Municipal Court was endorsed by the association. Franklin Speaks on R.F.C. At Y.M.C.A. Meeting "The Reconstruction Finance Corporation and its Functions," was the subject of an address delivered by Virgil H. Franklin, of the Forms and Printing Division of the R.F.C., Friday, March 9, at 8:15 p.m., at the Twelfth Street Branch Y.M.C.A. Next Friday evening, M. A. Pogorelskin, of Baltimore, a recent graduate of the national university of Belgium, who has toured continental Europe, will speak on "The Austrian Situation as It Affects the American Negro." The meeting will be held at the Y.M.C.A., 1816 Twelfth Street, Northwest, under the auspices of the Civic National Forum. Fined for Smacking Niece for Going Thru Pockets Leroy Davis, of Wonders Court, Southwest, thought he was justified in smacking his niece, Mattie Mills, last week for going through his pockets, but Judge Isaac R Hitt thought otherwise and fined Davis $5 for the smack. Davis explained that he had been missing money for several weeks and found out that his niece was the guilty person. He warned her if she did it again he would smack her. On last Saturday morning Davis said he woke up and "she was doing it again. So I smacked her." Judge Hitt told Davis he must try some other method other than smacking and imposed the fine. PROBATION GIVEN PRATHER, DYKES IN TAX EVASION Local Sportsmen Under Suspended Sentences; 3 Years Probation Granted BALTIMORE, Md.—The efforts of William E. Prather and John W. Dykes, local sportsmen convicted for income tax evasion, to escape jail sentences were rewarded, early this week. Announcements were released, Monday to the effect that Dykes and Prather had each been given suspended sentences of six months and $1,000 fine, and placed on probation for a period of three years. The announcement net was made by Richard M. Eddy, chief probation officer of the United States District Court. The case had been referred to him two weeks ago by Federal Judge W. Calvin Chestnut. Prather and Dykes, both of Washington, were indicted shortly before Christmas of last year on charges of violating the Federal income tax laws. That they had failed to make proper reports as to their earnings during the past three years was the principal charge in the indictments which resulted in the arrest of both men. Brought to trial in this city, the pair pleaded guilty. Immediately upon entering their pleas, counsel for the accused men filed appeals for probations. After hearing the arguments of Attorneys Pervy W Howard and George E. C. Hayes, Judge Chestnut indicated a favorable reaction. The case was referred to the probation office and an investigation of their records as citizens was begun. Two Noted Attorneys to Lecture at H.U. Law School Samuel B. Horovitz, of the Boston bar, will deliver a series of special lectures on the Workman's Compensation Law the week of March 19.

Mr. Stradford's lecture will center around the efforts of the Pullman porters to organize and obtain a definite status with the Pullman Company. Mr. Stradford has been the attorney for the Brotherhood of Pullman Porters throughout all the lengthy litigation which has been conducted to determine their legal status. He knows the situation intimately and his talk is bound to be both informing and inspiring. "CUBAN BOYS" TO APPEAR IN CITY The "Cuban Boys," popular singers and entertainers, will make their first Washington appearance soon, according to their manager, Joseph H. Pickett. Joseph C. Beal, Jr., former member of The Dukes, popular radio singers, is a member of the team, Maurice Winters, known as "Speed" to his radio audience, is the tenor.

See i eat heel | a Ch tees 4 wc A real experiment i: constructive planning for the Negro youth of. Washington is being carried out these days at the Terrell Junior High School, M Street between First and New Jersey Avenue, under the direction of Miss V.’E. Chase, principal of the school. Tangible evidence that the plan is’ meeting with pherominal sue- cess lies in the fact that more than 180 boys from all sections of the city are already enrollea in: Miss Chase's organization, which ix called the TerreH Commumty Ctub for Boys, and that more. than thirty volun- tecr: workers mre giving thei: services each week in furtherance of the:projeét; » Aims ‘to Build Cha acter “The purpose ‘of ‘the ‘club is’ t: show: boys how to put’ their’ Isisure time to: good advantage, and hov to live and. play together. It’ i character: building in ‘nature, it that comradeship, fait play; truth: iulness, and honesty are stressed It is designed to be place wher boys can come in off the street: and gather with method, order, sys tem and regularity, under prope! supervision. for intelligent. direc. tion and educational improvement and where they can train the hand the ear, the eye, and learn self control, self-reliance, and self-sup port. : +Plans Tor the club's organizatior were first Jaid in Séptemver, a which time they were enthusiastic. ally approved by, the board of edu cation. The clu opened officially with a meeting of fathers and son: on January 7, and began its round of activities on January 22. Only Recreational Center According to Miss Chase, itis th enly recreational center of its kind in Washington. It was conceived after a special survey of the North. west section of the city revealed that im all that agea there was no Place where boys could gather an¢ amuse themselves spxcept the thea- tros and pool-roms, where the “‘en- tertainment” is all too frequently ‘of questionable natiire, “Present econoiie conditions have given rise to an unprecédent- ed condition,” Miss Chase told the ‘Iribune in an exclusive interview this week. “Parents find thém- selves now, because of slack busi- ness conditions,-with more l2isure time than ever, but for some cu- rious reason they do not care to devote that leisure to the upbring- ing of their children. The result is, the children are eft, now more than ever, to amlse themselves. The leisure time of the boy—after supper, Saturdays and holidays—is the danger time for which we must make some provision.” Favors School Building Use “Another strange situation which cur survey revealed,” Miss, Chase continued, “was that the school buildings of the district often ereet- ed and furnished at great cost, are locked up except for five or six hours of the schoo! day, During the time not devoted to class wor the buildings are often allowed to lie idle, contributing nothing to the welfare of the community. There is no reason why the public gon- eraliy should not receive a greater benefit from the school buildings which it paid to construct. “The objection may be raised that the schools should be devoted wholly to the work of education. In the larger sense that is what the, club house idea. tn. This de- signed to educate the youngsters in the most ‘satisfactory use of their time.” Large Activity Program The activities of the club are di- vided into three general categories —edueational, recreational, and yo- cational.” — . Educaijonal’ projects include magual training, sheet-metal work, printing, mechanical drawing, ert, music, and the use of the club It- bnsry. ‘Ts act mock inclades yor ter , Soap-carving, - tSat painting.

Most of these work- 83 “are members of the faculty’ ‘of Terrell and other schools, but seven are private citizens who have tak- en an enthusiastic interest in the club. Boys from cleven senior and jun- ior high schools ave members of the etub.- The group meets twive cach month fora short business session, at which. social activities for the remainder ‘of the week are scheduled. Each boy is charged a membership fee of twenty-five cont: per semester, but no one ‘is barred from the club's activities because he cannot pay the fee. Equipment Donated Equipment netessary for the va- rious. projects, ingluding ‘a Bosch radio, numerous games, books, and tools, have been donated to- the club’ by downtown department stores. The expenses of the club have been borne by. private dona- tions and’ by the proceeds. of an entertainment given ‘by the Read- ers’ Club, group of, boys, Special activities for the year in- clude visual instruction, camera work, a community dance, bridge and whist. tournaments, » circus, and, in May, an exhibit of the work accomplished during the year. For these projects. members of the club are provided with guest tick- ets by which members of. their family and friends may. be’invited. In Nation-Wide Movement Since. its organization, the club has kept in constant touch with the Boys’ Club of America, a na- tional organization which is now atterapting to put into effect on a nation-wide scale the plan now in operation’ at Terrell. The District rd of Education has also watched it closely with a view to creating activity projects on. the same order in other sckools of the city. : At present the greatest need of the club, according. to Miss Chase, is x pool table for the larger boys, 2 few card tables, extra decks of cards, and additional games and sports equipment. 11 Found Sleeping in Car in B. and O.
